Chapter 151

Under the escort of the silver knight, the convoy arrived at Winter Tirion after driving for more than three hours.

The entire Earl of Winterting has a population of over one million, but the number of residents living in the city is only over 300,000. The urban area is much smaller than Longshande, and it is built on the shore of the lake that connects to the Naqumer River.

Now is the beginning of spring, and there is still a little cold wind.

Entering the city, the snow on the streets was cleared away, and people saw the long convoy and the accompanying silver knights with expressions of awe on their faces.

Ren watched the city through the car window.

This was his first visit to Winter Tear City. Viola had been here many times before, but he couldn't contain his excitement, and introduced him to this city that would soon be his own.

Ren could understand her current mood, smiled, and interjected from time to time to ask a few questions.

Soon after, the convoy turned to the west in the city, where there was a gently upward hill, like the front end of a dagger, extending from the urban area to the lake, the higher the altitude, the narrower the sides, and finally at the top of the hill A huge cliff 100 meters above the lake is formed.

On the top of the flat cliff stood a simple and huge castle, which belonged to the previous Earls of Winterting, and its name was Winterting Castle.

There are many manor villas built on the hillside below the castle, with green trees and beautiful environment. According to Viola, this area is called Moon Yang Slope, which is equivalent to the Silver Star District of Longshande, and it is the residence of the nobles and rich people in Winter Tear City.

The streets on Moon Yang Slope were all paved with large stone slabs, and the convoy went up the road, finally arriving at Winterting Castle on the top of the mountain.

The gates of the castle were open and the convoy drove in.

The broad grass was full of people, headed by a middle-aged man in official attire, about forty years old, with a bloated figure and a smile on his face.

"He is Sir Mixon, the mayor of Winter Tear City, and he has managed the Earldom for the past two years." Viola said softly in the car.

Behind Mayor Mixon, there are a large number of officials and nobles. Everyone has curiosity and enthusiasm on their faces, as if they are looking forward to the arrival of the new earl.

However, when they saw the silver knight, many people's eyes changed.

When the car came to a stop, Mixon straightened his clothes, stepped forward to open the car door, and said loudly, "Your Excellency, I am Mayor Mixon, and I have finally waited for your arrival!"

Viola got up and got out of the car. When people saw her face clearly, there was a gasp in the crowd.

Mixon, who was standing closest, was even more sluggish. He was stunned for a few seconds before bowing and saluting. He stammered and shouted again: "I've seen the countess!"

"Meet the Countess..."

On the grass of the castle, everyone bowed their heads in salute.

"Thank you everyone." Viola nodded with a smile, and her clear voice was heard in the ears, which lifted people's spirits, and seeing her smile was even more refreshing.

At this moment, regardless of whether the men present are married or not, their minds are inevitably activated.

However, before they could think about it, they saw a tall and handsome young man getting off the countess' car and standing behind her.

Although the two didn't seem to have any intimate gestures, anyone could guess that the relationship between this man and the Countess was not simple.

Some well-informed people immediately guessed the identity of this person.

Mayor Mixon was one of them. He was about to salute Rennes, but Viola stopped him with a wave of his hand and said, "Mayor Mixon, please introduce everyone to me."

"Okay, okay."

Mixon's reaction was quick, and he immediately understood what the Countess meant. He turned and pointed at the person next to him, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, this is the deputy mayor..."

Next, Viola got acquainted with several important figures in Winter Tear City.

Ren followed by without saying a word, like the most loyal guard.

Despite this, people still frequently looked at him, and heard whispers from many people, nothing more than words such as "the Earl of Glamorgan", "the Countess' lover".

After the welcoming ceremony, Mixon led the crowd away.

The silver knight took over the guardianship of the castle, and the housekeeper Abigail began to let people unload the luggage. There were dozens of servants in the castle. Under the leadership of an old housekeeper, they met the new countess.

After a few hours of busy work, I finally arranged everything.

Viola and Renn lived in the bedroom of the master of the castle. It was a luxurious and spacious room with elegant decoration and two large balconies. One faced the city and overlooked the entire city, and the other faced Winter Ting Lake. The view is wide and the scenery is pleasant.

Looking into the distance, you can see a big meandering river, the lake water flows into the river, and boats full of goods are driving on the river, with an endless stream.

In the afternoon, the two sat on the balcony, admiring the scenery of Dongting Lake.

In her own castle, Viola confided her thoughts.

Just as Ryan expected, she was going to transfer the Silver Star Records Company to Winter Tear, and she had already obtained the Duke's consent.

In the future, she will rely on the superior water transport conditions of Winter Tirion City to sell the phonograph to the entire empire, transport it from river to sea, and spread it to the whole world.

The plan was also endorsed by the long-haired lady.

If it goes well, Winter Tirion City will become a city of music and art, and the headquarters of the Goodness Church will be moved here. Maybe one day, Viola will ascend the throne of Pope.

Furthermore, Viola has already chosen the location for the wizard tower.

Winter Tiffany occupies the entire cliff on the top of Moon Slope, and actually only uses half of the area, and the remaining half is just enough to serve as the base of the Wizard Tower.

Ren respected Viola's ideals and of course raised his hands to support her.

He has long understood the character of the half-elf. This is an independent woman. She has her own ideas and pursuits. Although she also values ​​feelings, she does not put feelings first.

However, this also means that the two are bound to be apart for a while.

"Ren," Viola looked at her lover affectionately, and said softly, "I will stay in Winterring City and live in Winterring Castle for many years to come. You can take this place as your home, no matter you Wherever you go, don’t forget to go home.”

The cold wind of early spring was blowing on his face, but Ren's heart was warm.

He nodded heavily and said seriously: "I will be back."

Viola got up and sat on his lap, snuggled into his arms, the two of them didn't talk anymore, they watched the scenery of Dongting Lake in silence, quietly enjoying the world of the two of them.

The next night, a grand banquet was held at Wintersting.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the castle gate, and almost all the important people in Winter Ting City, whether they were officials, nobles, or extraordinary people, had received the invitation.

This was the first time the new Earl of Winter Ting appeared on a formal occasion, no one would refuse, and everyone attended in full attire.

Ren didn't have much interest in this kind of banquet, but for Viola's safety, he still met the guests as her male companion.

In the huge banquet hall, crystal lamps illuminate every corner, and the servants serve fine wine and food like flowing water, and place them on long tables.

On the stage at one side of the hall, the invited band played soothing and melodious music.

Hundreds of guests gathered in small groups to chat.

As the host, Viola did not rest all night, and under the introduction of Mayor Mixon, she was going to have a face-to-face conversation with every guest.

With her peerless beauty, even if it is not the earl, the guests, both men and women, are flattered.

Ryan observed secretly with the eyes of the soul, and Viola was able to convince the high society in Winterring City with only one banquet, and the first step of ruling the Earl was very smooth.

Halfway through the banquet, Ren saw that there was no threat, so he stopped following Viola.

Holding a plate of food and wine, he walked to the terrace outside the hall, admiring the winter ting lake under the night, while locking the voice of all things on Viola's side, he ate alone.

Below the terrace is a meadow, and a dozen meters further away is a cliff.

The cliff is very high, at a ninety-degree angle with the water surface, and the sound of water from below can be heard, surrounded only by a circle of delicate marble railings.

When the servants and guests saw him, they didn't bother him.

Ren is also happy.

"The Earl of Glamorgan." A voice came suddenly, and Ren turned his head to look, and saw a nobleman in a formal suit carrying red wine, walking up to the terrace.

He is not very old, only in his early thirties, and his appearance is also ordinary, no different from most nobles in the hall.

Ren didn't recognize the other party, and observed with the eyes of the soul, his brows were slightly frowned.

This person is a high-ranking wizard!

And it is a relatively rare ever-changing wizard, reaching the seventh level, there are seven demon souls in the soul that can be used for transformation, each demon soul has three to four elements, most of which are secret magic elements, and have mastered more than a dozen spells .

Shapeshifting wizards belong to the branch of the Soul Control School. They can possess demonic souls and gain the ability to cast spells. Every time they change their souls, they can superimpose a possessed demonic soul, greatly improving their strength.

Their core main soul is the "deformation demon", which has the element of "change", which can go a step further and directly transform into the form of the demon soul in life.

This changed form can play the role of physical elements. The strength, speed, and defense are not weaker than that of the demon soul. After the superposition of multiple demon souls, it is even stronger than the original strength of the demon soul.

To some extent, shapeshifting wizards are somewhat similar to battle wizards.

Both have strong melee combat abilities.

The difference is that battle wizards cannot transform, but can use all the fused demon souls to strengthen the human body; shapeshifting wizards have stronger spellcasting ability, flexible application, and can adapt to many combat environments. , you can no longer cast spells in the form of other demon souls, and are restricted.

Seeing that Ren frowned, the shape-shifting wizard quickly introduced himself: "Your Excellency, I am Padgett, the deputy director of the Justice Bureau of Winter Tear City. Please forgive my presumptuousness."

"Padgett?"

Ren snorted inwardly. Obviously, this was not Padgett himself, but a shape-shifting wizard who used his identity falsely. He didn't expose it immediately, and asked calmly, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Padgett?"

Padgett approached and said in a low voice: "As entrusted, let me convey a word to Your Excellency the Earl."

"What words?"

"I hope the Earl of Glamorgan can understand the general situation and don't go to Modu." When Padgett spoke, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
