Chapter 618 607. Self in the mirror
Along the winding staircase of the castle, the sand and stones on the walls on both sides are a little off. There are some oil paintings hanging on the walls, some are portraits of people, there are also some pastoral scenes, moments of the battlefield, etc. Going up a little bit, there are some paintings hanging on the walls. Typical weapons include spears, long-handled axes, and crossbows.
Walking to the top of the tower, you can still see a row of ironwood longbows and quiver filled with fine steel arrows hanging in the corner of the door.
This tower looks like a watchtower. The spiral staircase spans a distance of 20 to 30 meters. The building on the top is round like a mushroom umbrella. When you walk in, you find that it is arranged as a huge bedroom. There is not only a large and soft bed, but also a fireplace for heating, a dressing table and a separate washroom.
There are a total of eight windows in the room, and you can see around the castle. Six of the windows are temporarily closed.
Beatrice walked to the dressing table, pushed the wooden window open, and suddenly a fresh cold wind blew in from the outside, the snow on the top of the window eaves fell, hit the window sill, and splashed into the room .
Hathaway walked up, looked at the arrangement in the room, walked to the bed and sat down.
She touched the bed with her hands, and said to Suldak with a smile: "Beatrice and I have lived here for nearly two months. As long as the door below is locked, except for jumping out of the window, you can go out again." There is no other way, we lie here all day, or sit at the window and look out at the scenery."
Suldak walked to the window and looked down. It was about six floors above the ground. Although this height was still dangerous for a swordsman like Hathaway, Suldak pressed his hands Leaning on the window sill, looking at the snow scene outside, he said:
"Beatrice has been here with you?"
"Yes!" replied.
The two ladies huddled together at the window with Suldak, looking outside, the sunlight after the snow was a bit dazzling.
"Actually, what I want to say is that it should be good to live here for a while." Suldak narrowed his eyes, smelled the faint scent of perfume on the two ladies, and said with a smile. "I mean, if I had been locked up here, I would never have considered it captivity..."
Beatrice looked at Suldak with round eyes, full of obsession.
At a time like this, she probably wouldn't refuse Suldak when he hugged her to the bed.
Hathaway blushed slightly, and said to the two, "Let's go down for a walk."
The three of them first walked around the high tower where Hathaway was grounded. Beatrice smiled and said, if they had known that the young nobleman whom the Marquis Luther asked Hathaway to meet was Suldak, the two of them would Say nothing and be locked up in that tower for two months.
Walking down the tower, it was still a bit cold outside the castle. The maid who followed hurriedly brought a fox fur cloak and shawl. Even so, when they walked outside the castle, a gust of cold wind blew in front of them, which made Hathaway and Beat Liz held her breath and took a while to get used to it before walking down the stairs.
There is a very delicate garden in the courtyard behind the castle, next to the garden is a training ground, and a row of neat stables is built beside the training ground wall.
A heavy snowfall immediately covered the withered and depressed winter scenery with a layer of silver makeup.
Not far away, Mrs. Mabel and her three daughters were walking on the snow in the garden. The two young men surrounded them and showed their courtesies. They seemed to be very happy talking and laughing all the way.
Hathaway turned a corner decisively, and walked along the other side of the garden to the pool covered by heavy snow. There were several stone towers at a distance, and the tops of the stone towers were like blooming flowers, which looked like water pans. At this time, the servants have cleaned the tops, and someone sprinkled some grains and grass seeds on them, which attracted many birds to come and eat.
Worried about disturbing the birds that were eating, the three of them stopped fifty yards away from the stone tower.
"What are you usually doing in Wall Village?" Hathaway asked Suldak curiously.
Suldak pondered for a while and said: "Basically, it is about territory construction and the like. I am improving the living environment in Wall Village, which is dry all year round, so I built a reservoir in the upper reaches of the valley. It is very spectacular and basically They solved the irrigation problem of all the wheat fields in Wall Village, and renovated the houses. The houses there are basically thatched houses. Once there is such a heavy snowfall in winter, I don’t know how many houses will have their roofs collapsed. Come down, so we've been renovating the house before winter. Sometimes we'll be over there for a while at the sulfur mines, preparing to redevelop my territory."
"Can I go and have a look?" Hathaway asked with some expectation.
Suldak said without hesitation: "Of course, you are very welcome!"
Hathaway and Beatrice whispered together for a while, seeming to be discussing when it would be more appropriate to go to Wall Village.
After walking for a while, I came to a row of stables beside the wall. The stables at the Marquis Luther's mansion were also very beautifully built. Although they were all made of wood, all the wooden boards of the stables were painted with varnish. At this time It was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the two grooms squatted at the door of the forage room next to the stable, cutting grass, and stuffing some beans and wheat bran into the alfalfa hay.
"Do you want to see my horse?" Hathaway proudly asked Suldak like a child who wanted to show off a new toy.
"Okay!" Suldak said briskly.
The grooms were very winking, and immediately walked into the stable and brought out Hathaway's horse.
A war horse with green scales all over its body. This kind of high-level war horse is very common on the battlefield. Generally, it is the mount of the knights of the construction. There is also a black-scaled war horse with a purer blood. This kind of blue-scaled horse is a black-scaled horse. The crossbreed horse of the horse and the ancient Bolai horse not only inherits the explosive power and excellent physical strength of the black-scale warhorse, but also has the excellent endurance of the ancient Bolai horse.
This blue-scaled horse is very handsome. Seeing Hathaway, he immediately leaned over intimately, and arched the huge horse's head into her arms.
The so-called green scales do not mean that there is a layer of blue scales on the body of the war horse, but that there is a layer of fine hair with fine scales on the body.
Looking at the lines on the blue-scaled horse, Suldak couldn't help but think of the scales growing on his arms, and felt a sense of oppression. It's really unlucky to have some scaly patterns.
Thinking of that Lord Johannes, Suldak cursed secretly in his heart.
"This is my horse, do you want to ride it around?" Hathaway put her arms around the horse's head, and introduced her beloved horse to Suldak, wanting them to get acquainted with it a little bit.
Suldak was about to come closer, when the green-scaled warhorse exploded all its hairs, let out a long neigh, and stood up against the Suldak, almost knocking Hathaway to the ground.
The groom at the back rushed forward, desperately grabbed the reins of the blue-scaled horse, and subdued it.
Hathaway was also taken aback. She didn't understand what happened just now. Her beloved horse, who usually has a very good temper, was almost shocked when she saw Suldak.
She glanced at Suldak again, just now she saw clearly, Suldak stood still without any movement, still smiling at herself...
The blue-scale warhorse pawed the ground restlessly, and refused to approach Suldak no matter what.
In fact, Suldak really wanted to tell Hathaway: I also have a similar pet at home, but it is a little bigger, and I probably have some breath on my body, which surprised the war horse.
Since they couldn't ride a horse, Hathaway and Beatrice took Suldak to look around the Marquis Luther's mansion again, and then asked the butler to arrange a guest room for Suldak. Hathaway He and Beatrice both had the habit of taking a nap, so they let Suldak rest in the guest room, and left two maids to serve Suldak.
Last night, Suldak basically didn't sleep much, and now suddenly there was a warm and comfortable big bed in front of him. After washing his face a little, he took off his leather armor and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Maybe it was too tired, or the bed was too comfortable, and no one disturbed the guest room. When Suerdak woke up and opened the curtains, he found that it was already dusk outside, and he was looking for the sunset along the edge of the sky. Into a sunset.
Surdak was wearing a linen shirt, standing at the window.
When I wake up, I feel full of energy and relaxed...
He stretched, only to feel a burst of joints all over his body.
"Miss ordered us to add some Ningshenhua leaves to the incense burner, so you may sleep a little longer. Miss told you to wake up and let us take you to her place." A maid was behind Suldak said softly.
Suldak turned around and nodded to the maid.
Of course he knows Ningshenhua, this magical herb is the main ingredient in the preparation of spiritual power potion, it is basically difficult to buy in the magic market now, and it is even more difficult to find a bottle of spiritual power potion. He did not expect that when he was sleeping, Heather Wei actually used the leaves of Ningshen flower as incense, which is really low-key luxury.
He walked to the hanger, intending to put on the affordable salamander leather armor, when he saw a maid walking over with a wooden tray, on which was a stack of neatly folded lake blue dresses.
The maid stood in front of Suldak and whispered: "This is the gown that was made for you by the senior tailor Jilini and the seamstress when you fell asleep. You should try it first. Master Jilini is still waiting outside. If something doesn’t fit, it can be corrected right away.”
Suldak didn't expect that he would rush to make the gown after only sleeping. It seemed that he was completely approved by Marquis Luther.
Putting on the exquisite lake blue gown with dark lines, the aristocratic temperament on Suldak's body suddenly improved a lot. He walked in front of the mirror and saw the handsome and straight knight in the mirror. Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable. Know yourself…
