Chapter 541

"Oh, right, Xiao Lin has been staring at the calendar after dinner last night. Could it be related to the date?"

"Two little idiots, why don't you think about it too?"

The two tilted their heads and thought hard at the same time, but they covered their heads and cried in pain after less than three seconds.

Rin had to explain: "Speaking of which, it was Eve who reminded me."

Eve mentioned two festivals in one sentence.

The first one is New Year's Day, and the second one is about festival preparations.

Rin suddenly had an idea and thought that these three decorations are also related to local festivals.

The New Year's Day in Giorar is to hang silk flowers on the trees and walls to show the prosperity of the new year.

Silk flowers are also the most important symbol of New Year's Day, and are used more frequently than other festivals.

It's just that they are in a city of flowers full of flower beds, so this tradition is not so bright.

Deer... to be precise, antlers.

Antlers are one of the representative items of the harvest festival.

The representative items of the harvest festival are pumpkins, rainbow trout and antlers, representing agriculture, fisheries and hunting respectively.

Among them, the best antlers are red deer.

The third lady, the focus is on the goose down fan in her hand.

In addition to marriage, there is another very special festival that all women can use.

That is the Handkerchief Festival, or Women's Day, which is a festival for all women and girls.

At that time, many women would wear dresses and goose down fans.

This pattern is somewhat misleading. Most people only notice the ladies and rarely associate them with other things. They have to infer from the previous two items.

Therefore, these three patterns represent three festivals.

Chapter 63 Eve starts hunting again tonight

New Year's Day is January 1st, and Handkerchief Festival is March 8th.

The harvest festival is different in each region. Because of the special geographical environment and warm climate of Giorar, it harvests much earlier than other regions.

The harvest festival officially starts on June 15th and lasts until the last day of June.

Adding January 1st, March 8th, and June 15th together is October 24th.

That day was the day when the first Duke of Giolal was ennobled and the County of Giolal was born.

As a kingdom with almost no power and a system of complete autonomy of provinces and counties, this was the founding day for the people in the county.

It was also the grandest festival in the entire county.

This was also the festival that Eve had mentioned before that was about to be prepared.

Rin was absolutely sure that the answer to the puzzle was the County Duke Memorial Day.

So what was the representative item of this festival?

The answer was blue-veined pearls, a specialty of the county and the favorite of the first Duke.

Blue-veined pearls were seasonal, unlike other pearls.

At this time, blue-veined pearls were already produced, but in small quantities.

Generally, October was the best time, and there were transactions everywhere in the market.

There was always no shortage of smart people in the world, especially when there were 100,000 participants, and there were many smart people.

Those scholars who had received a good education and knew all about these things would be able to think of it quickly.

Rin had to buy blue-veined pearls early, otherwise they would be snatched up later.

Sure enough, they came to the big market and found a store selling pearls and corals. They happened to meet a well-mannered and knowledgeable young man leaving.

The price of blue-veined pearls fluctuates with the quality, just like ordinary pearls.

The general price is still quite expensive, and Lin randomly chose ordinary quality ones.

This thing is still limited to one per person.

To prevent accidents, he and Iris bought one each.

Then they went to the outside of the military camp, where there was a temporary venue.

At this time, there were dozens of long queues outside the venue, but the team was moving forward at a fast speed, which showed that the efficiency inside was not low.

After waiting for two hours, Lin also queued into the venue.

Soon they received several pieces of paper with various tasks marked on them, which were actually several task lists.

Including moving goods, running errands, collecting, and even ironwork and weaving, all of which are unlimited in number, but limited in number of people.

The points given for these trivial tasks are different in duration, ranging from 1 to 10 points, and a total of 150 points are considered qualified.

It can be said that it is very challenging for people's patience.

"So, the preliminary selection is actually a test of wisdom, strength, courage and patience."

Lin was also quite troubled. There was no possibility of taking shortcuts or being lazy in the last task.

The maximum limit was three people in the same group, and even if three people worked together, it would take at least four or five days.

In addition, they had to challenge the Royal Guards, and the time just to queue up for the challenge was enough.

The Royal Guards, although called a team, was actually a small army with about several thousand people.

Excluding those who took turns to protect Eve and the Duke's manor, there were about three thousand people who could be mobilized.

There were 100,000 challengers, and even if only 30,000 of them were good at fighting in a team, one person had to deal with ten people.

Everyone had two chances, plus rest time, so you can imagine how long the queue would be.

The rule was to line up a number and then wait for your turn to go on stage.

In summary, a week was just the right amount of time.

Iris was very interested. Even in reality, she had never done such trivial things before, so she was quite curious about it.

Emilia was completely different from her. When she was a hero, she did this kind of thing every day.

Even though she had no memories now, her subconscious mind was still more resistant to tedious work.

The only thing they could accept was to help taste all kinds of new experimental military rations, feed horses, and patrol at night.

Rin knew the personalities of the two very well and made a decision quickly.

"Emilia, go to the guards to queue up and come back after queuing up. I... well, I will go to the alchemy institute as an assistant. Iris can fly faster, so she will do the tasks of running errands, delivering letters and communications."

After arranging the tasks, the three of them went their separate ways.

In the evening, Rin and Iris dragged their tired bodies back to the Duke's manor.

Emilia went on patrol to digest her food. According to her, after she came back from queuing up today, she ate six kilograms of various nuts, bread, fried rice, and bacon.

Even though she was gifted, she was so full that she could hardly walk without the blessing of the hero class.

It was a good time to exercise and continue the challenge tomorrow.

After handing the blue-veined pearl to Lina and completing the task, Rin and Iris had a good meal and went to digest their food.

In a blink of an eye, another four days passed.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, they finally successfully completed all the challenges.

At present, there are only three groups that have completed the challenges.

They can have a good rest in the next two days.

In the evening, they found a place in the manor and set up a barbecue.

Eve was not there, and Xiye and Lina were busy with official business, so there were only four of them.

There were not even maids and servants to disturb them.

Lin asked Emilia to help cut the meat, Iris to skewer, and Momo to help, while she grilled the lamb chops.

Soon, the aroma of the barbecue filled the air, and the grease splashed on the fruit charcoal, making a really appetizing sizzling sound.

Emilia couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and her eyes drifted to the barbecue.

She was about to vomit after three days of trying the instant military rations.

So she didn't eat anything yesterday and today, and now her stomach is growling with hunger.

When she saw the barbecue on the plate, she didn't care about the heat, she grabbed one and wanted to stuff it into her mouth.

Lin quickly grabbed her hand, cut the lamb chops into several slices, blew on them, and then fed them into her mouth.

Iris became jealous again and pestered him to feed her.

Not far away, Eve, who was walking towards this side, paused and fell into silence for a long time as she watched the affectionate scene in front of her.

She gritted her teeth in envy, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.

The head maid next to her glanced at her silently, and then handed her a ruby.

Eve took the gem and put it in her mouth and bit it.

She is like this, once she is too emotional, she always wants to bite something.

"Damn it, why can't I find a man until now? My sister is so young, but she has such a considerate boyfriend."

After biting a few bites of the gem, Eve muttered.

"That damned stinky girl from Lane County always goes against me. I'm so angry. I came back to relax, but she made me watch these again!"

"I'm not Xiye, I don't want this kind of greasy dog ​​food!"

She said she didn't want it, but the envy in her eyes almost condensed into pink.

Finally, she almost bit the ruby ​​to pieces, and Eve restrained herself a little.

But the strong fire in her heart and body became more and more difficult to contain.

Glancing at Lin with an inexplicable look, Eve turned and left.

"Aren't you going to say hello to them?"

"No, I want to go back to my room to rest."

The pressure was too great, and she wanted to relax.

After walking two steps, she suddenly thought of something, and a ball of fire flashed in Eve's eyes.

She whispered a few words to the head maid, and then left with expectation.

Chapter 64 Tonight, the offensive and defensive situation is changing!

"..."

Hiss, it's the familiar cold again, what's going on!

Lin stared at the yogurt taro balls in his hand and fell into silence for a long time.

No, you just like to play this trick?

It works every time you try it, and you never get tired of it?

Last time it was Lina, this time... it's Eve, you are right!

It seems that Lina didn't tell Eve about the last black history.

Otherwise, his sister-in-law wouldn't be so stupid to use the same trick against him.

Well, how to say...

How about playing along with him?

The head maid still had a calm and calm look.

"Master Lin, don't you like it? Want to drink something, I can go and change it."
