In the northern part of the Mycrof continent, the second Sunday of March marks the end of the cold winter days and the arrival of true spring, when both commoners and nobles choose to invite friends and relatives to a grand gathering to celebrate the arrival of the warm wind, singing, dancing and holding celebrations, as if to burst out the vitality accumulated in the long winter.

From the frontier fortresses in the south, to the Wallachian Territory in the northernmost part of the Northlands, from the Great Plains in the west, to the bright seas in the east, all people, regardless of their status, are cheering and praying for the new year, hoping that everything will go well and be free from disasters.

The hustle and bustle of the distant sea and the surging dark tide in the imperial capital have nothing to do with the Moldavian Lords of the Northland for the time being, and the people who live here have long been accustomed to the rule of the new lord, although there are still some old people who miss the era when the old lord reigned, but as time goes by, this kind of words become less and less common, and gradually, everyone no longer says the words 'new lord', and everyone naturally calls the young warrior the only 'lord lord'.

At this time, in the lord's mansion of the main city, Joshua, who was respectfully called 'Lord Lord' by the lords, was waiting for his lunch at the table.

Today, Radcliffe's family is not a side branch, only Joshua and his cousin Chris, and since the warrior killed his cheap uncle, Cliff's father, the young man who dreamed of becoming an alchemist has never dared to appear in front of his cousin.

I can't even say that I don't dare, because Chris is now like evaporating from the world, even if Joshua asks some people to look for it, for such a long time, there is no news coming.

So, now, the great lord's palace was empty, and there were only four people, except for the maids and guards, and Joshua estimated that this should be the smallest number of Radcliffe families in four hundred years.

However, although there are fewer people, he still has Hotaru and No. 3 to accompany him, and the number of people is not much, but it is definitely no problem to have a dinner party to celebrate the arrival of spring.

After waiting for a while, Joshua, who was sitting at the head of the table, heard footsteps, and he looked up just in time to see Rin slowly walking to the table with a plate of roasted whole pigs bigger than his body.

This roasted whole pig is red gold, ruddy in color, golden fat dripping from the skin, the aroma is overflowing, exuding a steaming steam, and the meat looks tender and delicious, which makes people appetite.

The material of this pig is the great wild boar king in the Black Forest, which Joshua personally hunted a few days ago, although in the hunting account of the Northland, the meat of the wild boar king is extremely hard, even the sword cannot be cut, and it cannot be eaten at all, but it is for ordinary people. After a special method to soften the meat, the hardness and toughness of the meat are just right for a golden warrior like Joshua, and it is not extra chewy.

"Yes, Rin, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking in addition to handling official duties."

Joshua never skimped on his praise, and he expressed his amazement at the craftsmanship of the young man: "The all-round butler is indeed well deserved. ”

"Haha, thank you for the compliment." After receiving the compliment, Rin looked very happy, he didn't look too tired when he held such a large plate of roasted whole pigs before, after all, the black-haired boy is a god, although he is petite, he also has silver-level strength, he said with a little pride: "Actually, the core of my memory records the cooking materials of the Far South, the Eastern Plains and almost all regions of the empire, and the mage who compiled the database for me back then has traveled to the entire Microf continent and collected a lot of food culture from all over the world, I entered it all when I wrote it. ”

As he spoke, he leaned over slightly, his right eye slightly closed, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If my cooking skills can make my master happy, it is really good." ”

"Well, there's no need to be so respectful."

Being able to eat delicious food, Joshua was indeed in a good mood, especially when he thought that he would be able to eat all kinds of food from all over the country in the future, he even showed a hint of a smile, and the warrior waved his hand and signaled to the young man: "Come, sit down." ”

According to Rin's introduction, there is also a saying about this roasted whole pig - the big wild boar is used in the myths and legends of McCroft as a symbol of desperate battle to the death, never flinching, whether facing a tiger or a hunter, this creature will fight until the last moment of life, so the food made from it as a raw material can only be enjoyed by those with the highest courage.

For the euphemistic praise of his weapon, Joshua was naturally fully reaped, and he was very happy to start cutting the ingredients.

The golden barbecue was fatty but not greasy, and it was very delicious, but it didn't take long for the warrior to notice that something was wrong.

Beside him, Hotaru, Rin, and Number 3, all three of them sat in their seats, looking at him with a smile on their faces, but none of them were ready to pick up a knife and fork and enjoy their meal.

- Of course, just think about it a little bit, the two gods don't need to eat, and No. 3 is completely a magic projection, and her ontological rune core will automatically absorb the surrounding magic power to supply and consume, and it is completely impossible to eat.

This scene was a little embarrassing, being watched by his three subordinates to eat, even Joshua felt a little weird, but after all, he was a big-hearted person, although something was not quite right, but he still quickly ate the whole roasted pig.

The amount of food that the Golden Warriors eat depends on how much they want to eat, as long as the energy is not really completely saturated, they can quickly digest all the food to supply the body that has been initially energized, and store it.

Anyway, this slightly weird early spring banquet was over, Rin and the other maids took the plates on the table and began to clean up the scattered utensils, while Joshua took out his notebook, looked sideways at the event planning table on it, and then nodded slightly, and said to himself: "Yesterday, the auction of the imperial capital is over, if there is no accident, Alfonso should have bought the evil thing that destroyed the Ares Fortress in his previous life and sent it to me." ”

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Compared to sweeping the Black Tide and closing the space-time gate, this is probably the easiest time to protect the world, saving fifty or sixty thousand people so easily, it really feels unreal." ”

"The master has something to take? Then I'll get it for you! ”

The silver-haired girl sitting next to her stood up and said with great spirits, although she didn't understand what the evil thing that destroyed the fortress was, it did seem that she wanted to do something.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Hotaru was willing to help, and Joshua wouldn't dampen her enthusiasm, so she nodded and let her go.

Generally, the nobles with a little property will have a communication circle and a teleportation array for small objects, letters and a teleportation array for storing hedrons, before the Northland, it was impossible to lay a teleportation circle due to the space-time turbulence caused by many space-time gates, but now with the help of Nostradamus, it has almost been erected.

This kind of teleportation array used to transport small objects under ten kilograms generally only needs a miniature magic gathering array to operate smoothly, and if you add rune optimization, it can be continuously teleported, not counting the fact that the concentration of magic energy in the north is now a little higher than that of other places, and it is easier to operate.

No. 3 sat on the sidelines, watching the interaction between the master and servant, his blue eyes blinked, smiled slightly, and then canceled the projection, leaving only a one-man tall rune core parked in the cart, the light of magic flickering, as if thinking about something.

Soon after, Hotaru returns with a book.

"It turned out to be a book, not a shining home remedies octahedron or a silver key."

Looking at the book that looked ordinary, but with a trace of a strange aura that only a person like Joshua who held the power of order could feel, the warrior nodded slightly: "According to the information of the previous life, this should be called the Book of Ibon, right?" It does look weird. ”

After all, it was the evil magic book that destroyed a fortress and caused the fall of Ares, and the warrior couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought of those huge abyss worms with golden pinnacle-level strength, and he stood up and prepared to take the book from Hotaru's hand.

But something strange happened

Before Joshua could get closer, with a soft cry from Hotaru, the book, which seemed to be made of sheepskin or ape skin, actually trembled by itself, and then broke free from the girl's hand and fell to the ground.
