Chapter 101: Baron's New Year's Dinner Invitation
Willie walked out of the smithy.
The flying snow drifted in the air, the ground was covered with a thick layer of pure white snow, and the entire Fandoutun was wrapped in heavy snow.
Willy walked on the snow and made a creaking sound.
The snow has been falling for several days, and as the snow continues, the temperature is getting lower and lower. In order to allow the normal growth of sweet beans and spruce root, old Joel and Lake made a special trip to Diamond Town two days ago and bought some rough tarpaulins.
With the efforts of the villagers, the oilcloth and the iron frame were built around and above the sweet potato and Xingbanxuegen to ensure that they were less eroded by the cold temperature as much as possible.
"Willi, look here!"
Before Willy got to the door, he heard Veria calling her name not far away.
He looked at it subconsciously, and saw a white shadow smashed directly at his face, a snowball the size of a fist.
Willy tilted his head instinctively, and easily avoided the snowball.
"It's boring."
Veria curled her lips and sighed pretending to be an adult.
The little friends behind her all looked at Veria with envy, but they didn't dare to make such a joke to the head of the village.
Beside Veria, Wally continued to roll in the snow. Since the day it snowed, he had been rolling in the snow, and seemed to be very fascinated by this new thing.
If he didn't know that Wally's ability is lightning, Willy even suspected that it was the gene of a polar bear in his body.
"You went to find that boring guy again?"
The boring guy in Veria's mouth was referring to Eric. As the child king of Fandoutun, Veria thinks she is obliged to include the new guy.
But after contact, I found out that the guy named Eric, except for his age is similar to his friends, and his personality is completely different from everyone else. In Veria's eyes, he is like a boring adult who only knows hammers and stoves, and is full of iron.
For such a brainless guy, Veria naturally wouldn't bring him into her subordinates.
"Well, I went to the blacksmith shop."
Willie didn't say much.
He walked into the backyard and started the practice of Frost Knight's breathing method again.
Willy was still guessing before, whether the Frost Knight's breathing method could get a bonus to the training speed in this environment because the weather turned cold, but it turned out that the Frost Knight's breathing method was worthy of its name. Even in the icy world, Willy's practice speed did not speed up at all. Instead, his joints became stiff because of the cold, and he had to warm up several times.
An hour later, Willy finished his practice and was about to return to his room, but saw Aden finding him with a guard in armor.
Willy looked at the guard and judged the guard's identity. He is the exclusive messenger of Lord Baron.
"Captain Willie."
The guard bowed and saluted Willy, and then handed a letter to Willy: "The baron will hold a meeting ceremony and dinner in the manor on New Year's Day. This is an invitation for you."
Willie raised his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard the words.
He just remembered that in five days, the world will enter the new year. He was in a trance, and unconsciously, it has been more than half a year since he arrived at this time. All of this seems like a dream.
"Captain Willie?"
The guard saw that Willy was slightly absent-minded and called out cautiously.
"Well……"
Willy made an apologetic expression, then accepted the invitation and said to the guard, "Thank you for your hard work."
"If that's the case, then I'll retire first."
The guards didn't stop, and led out of the yard under the guidance of Aden, mounted a horse, and disappeared into the distance in the snow.
Willie glanced at the invitation card in his hand.
The above are all clichés, which probably means that the New Year is approaching, and friends are invited to celebrate the festival at the Baron Manor in Diamond Town. On that day, the baron would bring his family to a dinner party with the invitees.
Naturally, this invitation was not written by the baron himself, but in the baron's tone. It should have been written by the civil servants around the baron.
Willy had heard of this tradition before.
Every new year, the noble lords of each territory will send out invitations to gather the senior officials in the territory and some big businessmen nearby to spend the new year together. Those who can be invited by the noble lords are all people with high status in the territory, and it is also an honor for the invitees.
For some officials and businessmen, being invited is also a recognition of their identity. Some people with intentions can capture some deeper information from the changes in the list of invitations every year.
As the hottest figure in Diamond Town this year and the youngest upstart, Willie naturally received the invitation.
However, Willy is not particularly interested in this. Compared with this, he prefers to have a New Year's Eve dinner with his family.
"what is this?"
Veria leaned over and looked at the delicate card in Willy's hand with curious eyes.
Willy glanced at Veria and replied, "Baron Kells' invitation to the New Year's dinner."
"Wow……"
Veria sighed in a low voice.
A banquet for nobles, that is what all commoner children have always dreamed of. Although the family environment has improved now, her childhood dream has been lingering in Veria's heart.
Seeing Veria's expression, Willy asked her, "Want to go?"
"Yes I do!"
Veria blurted out almost subconsciously, but she quickly reacted, with hesitation and hope in her eyes, and asked gently, "Can I really... go?"
"certainly."
Willie nodded.
After receiving the invitation, the invitees will bring their partners and juniors to the dinner There are more people, so as to have a New Year's atmosphere.
As her sister, Veria is naturally qualified to be brought to the dinner party by herself. Even if he wanted to, it would be no problem to take the Lakers and the eldest brother Thorpes together, but they would definitely not go.
In the face of so many big people, they will be restrained and unable to eat, Willy knows this very well.
"Very good!"
Veria cheered loudly, then ran and danced jubilantly on the snow in the yard, Wally following closely behind Veria like a pug.
"I'm going to buy a nice dress in town! I'm going to tell my mother, and she'll agree!"
Vilia suddenly realized the problem, so she turned and ran into the house.
Looking at the cheering Veria, Willy smiled lightly.
Because of his arrival, the family has really changed a lot.
This is something to be proud of.
