Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: A Moment of Rest
It was a sunny afternoon.

From the bright square window, the slightly cold breeze in late autumn gently blows into the top hall of the Shutterward Palace, shaking the crackling fire here slightly.

Currently in this hall, only Slade and a noble lady with silver light all over her body stood beside her.

The mature woman in a silk dress closed her eyes, looked dignified and elegant, and stood respectfully beside Slade with her hands crossed in front of her.

Slade, on the other hand, sat lazily in front of the marble desk, picked up the quill on the table, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then sat up a little more, and concentrated on writing on the kraft paper. Start writing.

Not long after, a very gentle voice came from beside him:

"Master Slade, are you going to write a letter to Lord Taslad? There is still some time before the opening of the 'cemetery'?"

"Well. I have other things to deal with later, so I have to write it in advance."

Slade just said that, without turning his head to look at the person standing beside him, and the "right hand" holding the quill pen did not stop at all.

In that huge black claw, the quill looked extraordinarily slender, with an inexplicable weird feeling, but the handwriting she wrote was very correct, obviously she had deliberately practiced it.

Just then, a gust of wind ruffled the stray strands of Slade's temple hair, which also affected her vision of writing.

Only then did she stop her movements, and brushed the hanging hair back behind her ears, then gently supported her chin with the back of her hand, raised her legs, and looked out the window involuntarily.

As if sensing Slade's movements, the quicksilver lady slowly opened her eyes.She still maintained that unusually respectful standing posture, then turned sideways to face Slade, lowered her head slightly, and waves like water ripples began to appear on the silver face that was still all the time:
"Is there something on your mind?"

Her lips didn't move, and those voices seemed to come directly from her body, as soft as usual, but with a hint of concern.

Even so, Slade didn't look back.She was still looking sideways out of the window, and after a brief silence, she suddenly smiled:
"Monalis, do you know? That stinky girl said this to me when she knew that using a bone helmet would deform her body."

Slade paused, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he turned to look at the people beside him, with some inexplicable emotions in his eyes:

"She said that maybe things will turn out in a good direction, and maybe it will make her grow dragon horns."

Monalis didn't answer, but couldn't help but sighed silently.As one of Slade's closest people, she could keenly feel that the lord's personal emotions seemed to be richer than usual at the moment.

While looking down to think, she heard Slade's voice again:
"I haven't been able to grow dragon horns yet."

These words sounded very calm, but there was a faint sense of nostalgia, and it also revived some long-standing memories hidden in Monalis's mind.

Her mercury-like face began to waver slightly again, and after a while, she calmed down a little, and said softly, "She is a good child, but it's a pity that she can't be reused, and she can't be trusted."

Only then did Slade withdraw his gaze from her, and turned his head to look into the distance, with a rare touch of emotion in his tone:
"Yes. But I don't have much time. Even though she has many doubts, her emotions are indeed from the heart—"

Having said that, she changed the subject and snorted coldly: "Although only half of it is true."

Monalis still bowed her head respectfully, but slightly pursed her lips in an imperceptible way, hesitated for a while, but finally did not speak.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps coming from a distant staircase.Those noises were not loud at all, and they were separated by the extremely thick carved wooden door, so no one should be able to detect them.

But to these overlords who are far beyond the scope of ordinary people, those voices are so clear that when the ears catch a visitor, Mona Lisi immediately turns her body to the door and resumes her original upright standing posture .

And Slade didn't speak anymore, just straightened his sitting posture, put on a majestic appearance, looked towards the hall door, and waited quietly for the other party's arrival.

Tens of seconds later, the wooden door that isolated the hall from the outside world was slowly opened.

The person who came was the butler.

The silver-haired, elegant old man first stood at the door, bowed respectfully to Slade, then straightened his back, and said in a calm and respectful tone:

"Lord Slade, Knight Angie and Captain Rabin are back."

Then, he raised his head and looked at Slade who was sitting at the table.

There seemed to be some smile on her face, but there was no emotion in her dark pupils, she just said in a deep and slow voice:

"Let them take a break first, come here in an hour, and report to me."

------------

Angie returned to her room in a hurry, and immediately went to the well to get some water. She had just washed up briefly, and after an eager knock on the door, she heard Jasil's voice:
"Angie, are you back?"

Although Angie had just washed her hair and her head was still wet, upon hearing this familiar and friendly voice, she happily trot to the door and opened the door.

What greeted me was Jessir's warm embrace and her extremely excited voice:

"Why have you been away for so long? It's almost half a month, and I'm so worried about you when you're not here!!"

Jessier didn't mind Angie's wet hair that was still dripping water at all, just hugged her so tightly, and at the same time spoke her heart to her at a speed so fast that there was no pause.

Angie was stunned by her enthusiasm, and after a few seconds of stunned, she finally came to her senses, and explained to her slowly with a smile:
"Hey hey, didn't I go outside the barrier? It would take five days to get there from Kent alone!"

After a while, Jessier slowly let go of Angie.I saw that the clothes on her upper body had been wet a lot, but she didn't attract the slightest attention. She just looked at Anji with her mouth held back, her expression and tone seemed extremely aggrieved:

"After you left, I went to Lord Slade and asked where you were... But Lord Slade just told me that you went to a very dangerous place, and you might not be able to come back..."

As she said this, tears welled up in her emerald green eyes.

Angie smiled softly and helplessly.She subconsciously wanted to hug Jasil tightly, but at this moment, a thought quickly flashed through her mind:
Will the current self become stronger than before?
After hesitating for a moment, she moved her hands that had been suspended in the air again, hugged him gently, and gently smoothed the girl's thin but tight back, comforting her softly:

"Didn't I come back now? That's right, the name you sewed on the sack for me actually came in handy!"

Jessie let out a "hey" in surprise, and then he smiled, her tone full of complacency and pride:
"Look, I'll tell you! As long as it has your name on it, even if it is lost or stolen, it can always be found again!"

Angie smiled and let go of the girl's hand, and nodded vigorously: "Yeah! We, Jessir, are the most caring~ Thank you!"

Just when the two girls looked at each other and smiled, there was a sound of rapidly approaching and eager footsteps from the corridor outside the room, as if someone was rushing towards here.

Angie tilted her head in confusion, and just as she turned her head to look at the door, she heard Jessie mutter sullenly:
"The troublesome spirit is here."

"Eh?"

Before Anji could say anything more, the half-open door was slammed open, and at the same time, an unusually familiar and even noisy voice came from my ear:

"Little Angie!! You are finally back!!"

It was the guy who talked a lot—Barton.

But his overly enthusiastic voice at the moment, as well as the overly pretentious "little Anji", made Anji instantly get goosebumps, and at the same time, he couldn't help but half-cursed and half-titted:
"Barton, can you be normal!"

However, just as she opened her mouth, Barton rushed over in a daze.He didn't seem to intend to brake at all, giving Angie the illusion that "the opponent will be hit by the opponent in the next second", but he stopped abruptly only a few tens of centimeters away from her——

Because Jessie was already one step ahead of the other party, she stood in front of Angie.

"Barton, what do you want?" Jessile pouted angrily, accusing him in a bad tone, "Angie and I are still chatting. You shouldn't be puzzled by the girls' happy conversation time." The coquettish guy interrupts!"

Hearing this, Barton's expression immediately became weird, and he counterattacked not to be outdone:
"Hey, Jessie, I think you seem to be very free every day, why don't you help your little friends do some work? Angie is the apprentice I taught, why are you stopping the master from looking for disciples?"

Angie's expression became a little strange when he heard him muttering.

What is "Master looking for apprentice"?
Although Barton can indeed be regarded as her master, Angie has always been reluctant to admit this matter—because Barton always puts this matter on her head, and the other party's appearance of being a villain makes her very happy. accurate.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Jessie, who was standing in front of her, angrily say to Barton:

"I don't care what master you are, Angie obviously has a better relationship with me! If you keep arguing, be careful that I will let Lord Slade hang you on the city wall!"

"Huh? Master Slade wouldn't do such a thing to me!" Barton widened his eyes angrily, pointing at her, "On the contrary, it's a guy like you who doesn't work in front of a maid, It should be tied up and hung at the gate of the city, so that people who come and go can enjoy it!"

Seeing the noisy pair of siblings who didn't want to stop at all, Anji couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Why don't you argue first? I'll go and wipe my hair..."

The housekeeper had just come to inform her that she would go to the Shutterward Palace with Rabin to report the situation in an hour... Calculating the time, there is about half an hour left, right?

If she appeared in that clean and tidy hall with her current distressed image and reported the situation to Slade, it would really be the scene of a large-scale social death—she didn’t know if Slade would laugh, but if That Miss Mercury was also there, and there was a high probability that she would really laugh.

Because Angie seemed to be able to vaguely feel that the lady's smile seemed to be very low - after all, this guy had a "criminal record" of accidentally laughing out loud at her celebration banquet.

After hearing what Angie said, Jessil immediately realized.She said to Button, "Okay, you annoying person, don't disturb my Angie's rest", while pulling the cursing him out of the door forcibly, and even helped Angie close the door.

Then... continue to quarrel outside the door.

Through the old wooden door, the bickering voices of the siblings kept coming into the house.Angie smiled helplessly, then picked up the coarse cloth placed by the bed, wiped her head carefully with it, and muttered in a low voice:

"It would be great if Arnold was here at this time..."

　Most of this is rare daily.

　　I flipped through the first few chapters and found that the rhythm was a bit too fast.

　　Because I dare not procrastinate in the early stage, I am afraid that if I procrastinate, many people will abandon the pit...

　　But this time it’s different. I’ve been writing the big chapter for too long, and these daily plots have been replaying in my mind for a long time, and I’m finally able to write them out.

　　I hope it won't make you feel boring~
　　(The next chapter will start to continue to do things, the calm before the storm, daily life and treasure)
