Chapter 269: Invitation III.

The Green Grass Festival is less than a week away.

After the Green Grass Festival, it will enter March - however, the Green Grass Festival in Vauban is not a festival for everyone, because in the north of Vauban County is still snowy at this time, at least mid to late April, when the real spring will be ushered in, and in territories close to the snowy forests such as Tyre, it will not be until May.

However, this did not prevent the lords from communicating with each other in the name of the Green Grass Festival.

It is different from the strictness and scrutiny of the Midwinter Festival.

The Green Grass Festival is a little more relaxed - in itself, just to continue the friendly atmosphere of the previous alliance.

The lords of the alliance will choose a place and hold a banquet that is not big or small.

And between the Tyre Lords and the Zelgang Lords, there is no doubt that the former became the hosts - in addition to the hospitality of Baron Tyre, it is more because the Zelgang Lords don't even have a lord's mansion, so they can't hold banquets in the barracks, right?

While Dean certainly wouldn't mind, his subordinates would never agree.

So, after receiving the invitation from Baron Tyre, Dean set out with his retinue and a group of veterans of the Knights of the Knights of Fecharon.

Because, it's only two days.

Huck followed, and the territory was temporarily handed over to the militia captain Raul, and with Old Del in the manor, Dean had always been very relieved.

The journey to Tyrell's territory was naturally familiar to Dean and his party, and everyone was more relaxed except for the necessary scouts.

"Your Excellency, do you want to go south?"

Siren leaned over and asked Dean.

"Hmmm! Do you want to follow? ”

Dean looked at Siren with anticipation in his eyes, and then at the same time at the followers who were all looking here. I couldn't help but nod. Asked.

"We are followers. Where the adults are, we should be! ”

Siren replied, and the followers around him nodded their heads one after another.

"And what about my orders?"

Dean asked with a smile.

"Of course I have to follow your orders!"

Siren replied instinctively.

"Well, you stay and guard the territory, and the others will go with me!"

Dean said with a smile.

Suddenly, Siren was stunned, his whole face collapsed, and he muttered to look at Dean. an expression that is about to cry; And the surrounding Chad, Mach, Ike, including Huck, all laughed.

"Your Excellency, you can't do that! It's not fair! ”

Looking at the smile on the corner of Dean's mouth, Celen, who knew that Dean was joking, immediately shouted loudly.

"Are you going to disobey my orders?"

Dean looked at Siren and asked playfully.

"No, it's not...... But, but ......"

Immediately, Siren was completely speechless.

The laughter around them became louder and louder, and everyone did not stop laughing until Tyrell, making fun of Siren from time to time.

But. In the midst of such jokes, Dean's followers on the southward journey were confirmed.

Huck serves as Dean's deputy. When Dean left the territory for a long time, he naturally needed to stay, and Siren, as an official knight, was one of the few high-level combat forces in the Zelgang Territory, so he naturally needed to stay to assist Huck; Ike, on the other hand, was still learning more potions, so he couldn't spare more time and energy to travel south.

Therefore, the most suitable candidates are Chad and Maher.

Of course, it is also necessary to select a team of veterans of the Knights of the Fercharon - even if Dean wants to travel lightly, as a lord of a land, sometimes he still needs to take into account the honor of being a nobleman.

Dean felt helpless about this.

However, he had to do so, after all, in addition to his own honor, this was also a kind of etiquette - a kind of respect for the Grand Duke of Jade.

Just like at this moment, going to the mansion of Baron Tyre, the gift in the hands of Chad and Maher is a meaning.

"Lord Zelgan!"

When they were still some distance from the gates of Tyre, the guards of Tyre shouted loudly, and a group of men came out.

Baron's staff: Ikos.

"Dean! Didn't Phosia come? ”

Ikos, still in a scribe's robe, greeted Dean with a smile and asked about his friend.

"He thinks books are better - he's resting today, but he has no plans to go out!"

Dean shrugged.

Dean was very satisfied with Fuccia, the tutor of the entire high-ranking Knights, and both the other party's knowledge and morality made Dean nod.

If you have to say something bad, it's that the other party is for people. Border. Delivery. The attitude of the past; If I had to sum it up, it would be-

'Books are better than people!' ’

Such a sentence.

"Sure enough, it hasn't changed!"

Ikos, who obviously knew his friend's temperament, couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, and then continued to smile: "Let's go! The Baron has been waiting for a long time! ”

With Ikos in front, Dean and Huck in the back.

As for Siren and the others, and the veterans, they were disbanded on the spot and returned home—this was authorized by Dean, but they had to assemble at the door of the Baron's Mansion on time the morrow morning.

Baron Tyre's mansion remained unchanged.

However, in anticipation of the Green Grass Festival, the entire mansion was thoroughly cleaned, and the sides of the road were sprinkled with flower petals, some slightly yellowish.

Apparently it was picked before winter and carefully preserved.

In other parts of the jade, people will pick fresher petals, and in temples and castles, there will be special people to take care of the flowers for the winter, and then pick them on the day of the Green Grass Festival and sprinkle them on the surrounding snow to expel the cold winter and look forward to the coming spring.

However, it is not possible in Tyrling.

You must know that in this cold climate, the cost of caring for the flowers is definitely not a small expense.

Perhaps the Marquis de Vauban would do the same. But. Baron Tyre would never—or rather. I wanted to do so, but I was plagued by a fiscal deficit.

But even so, the appearance of these petals, which had been stored for four months, on the snow is a delight to the eye.

"Spring is coming!"

Dean sighed, and Ikos on the side nodded again and again: "Yes, spring is coming!" Dean, how long have you been in Vaubonshire? Not...... Wait a minute. You seem to have only been in Vauban last winter, right? ”

As he spoke, Ikos seemed to react, and he looked at Dean in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Dean looked at each other in surprise.

"Nothing! I just think you should have been in Vauban for years...... Tsk, there are hallucinations at the Green Grass Festival, it seems that I am also old! ”

The staff shrugged their shoulders and continued to lead Dean inside.

Dean, on the other hand, smiled silently.

He knew very well that the reason for such an illusion was nothing more than because of his current status as a nobleman, and the territory of Zelgaon!

You must know that even if it is a real knight, this is the struggle of the other party for a lifetime.

And what about him?

It's just four months!

There's a lot of luck in that, and there's a lot of planning in it—of course. The latter accounts for a bit more, though. The former is also indispensable.

"It's really fast!"

After a soft sigh, Dean walked briskly into the hall of the Baron's mansion, where the banquet had been prepared, and exchanged pleasantries with Baron Tyre, who had not been seen for weeks, and greeted each other's daughters and sons one by one.

Of course, continue to ignore the affectionate eyes of the young lady of the Baron's family.

Similarly, the timid young master of the Baron's family, who hid behind his sister, did not attract more attention from Dean.

In fact, in Dean's opinion, although the young lady of the Baron's family has a bad personality, she is more suitable to inherit the title and territory of Tyre.

And that little young master is really too weak.

It's almost like a real girl.

Moreover, she is still the kind of daughter who is sick and weak in the deep boudoir.

However, this was only Dean's own thoughts, and he wouldn't say anything—after all, even if he had a good relationship with Baron Tyre, some words could not be said directly.

For example: the ownership of the other party's territory, as well as the ownership of the title.

The banquet continued.

In addition to barbecue and some vegetable soup, as if to welcome the arrival of the Green Grass Festival, there are some extra fruits at the banquet.

Of course, if the fruit wasn't roasted, Dean would have liked it even more.

"Your Excellency!"

Towards the end of the feast, Dean walked over to Baron Tyre.

Although Baron Tyre has always asked Dean to call him Walitt, the good relationship between the two parties, coupled with Baron Tyre's age, still maintains Dean's honorific title.

"What's wrong, Dean?"

Baron Tyre, who was comforting his son, who had accidentally fallen into the snow and was dripping, turned his head.

"Do you remember Ramoz?"

Dean asked.

"The leader of the thieves?"

Baron Tyre instantly thought of who the other party was.

"Well, it's the leader of the thieves! I'd like to meet him if I can! ”

Dean nodded and pleaded.

"Is it for the thieves who may be lurking in Zelgaon? Of course, there is no problem, these thieves and robbers are the most hateful guys! Ellen, come here! ”

Baron Tyre gave his own answer without asking Dean why, calling out to his chief of guard.

Soon, the captain of the guard appeared in front of Dean and Baron Tyre.

"Ellen, Dean wants to ask that Ramoz - see if the Zelgaon Territory has a stronghold of thieves too!"

Baron Tyre instructed his chief of guard, and then, apologetically, pointed to his son, who was still crying quietly, and signaled that he could not go away.

Dean smiled and said he didn't care; Then, following behind Ellen, he walked towards the cell of the Baron's mansion.

On the way, the chief of the guard, who had a good personal relationship with Dean, said as he walked.

"Ramoz is a tough guy, and we haven't asked anything more for so long...... It's all about something we know! ”

In the words, Ellen had a hint of annoyance.
