I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 102 Picnic
"Teacher, a group of people just came and gave us two cows and a horse!"

Seeing Shaar come back, Arthur, who was standing at the door communicating with the horse, immediately reported to him.

Alicia and Isabel watched carefully beside the horse.

"This horse is so beautiful." Isabel commented, "It should be a military horse of the West French Army. There are no such horses in Sacilla."

"Teacher, how about her name Luna?" Arthur asked.

"The moon?" Xiaya thought for a while, "Sonny is the sun, so it's a good match."

He looked at Arthur, "Then this horse will be taken care of by you in the future, that is, can you ride a horse?"

"I can learn," said Arthur. "I've always wanted to learn to ride!"

Shaar nodded, "You really need to learn how to ride a horse, you will always use it in the future, but I can't ride."

"Is there anything you don't know?" Isabel teased.

Xia shrugged, "There is no omnipotent person in this world, is there?"

"Then what?" Arthur said in frustration.

"Cough cough."

Isabel coughed twice, "Did you forget me?"

Xiaya also seemed to think of something, "Your royal family should all ride horses, right?"

"This is the most basic." Isabel raised her head and said, "It's not just me, Alicia will too."

"As expected of the royal family." Shaar looked at Alicia and teased, "Everything is the best."

Seemingly feeling Xiaya's gaze, for some reason, Alicia blushed, but said nothing.

"Let's go for a picnic at noon today." Shaar said, "How about right by the big lake on the peninsula?"

Hearing this, Arthur's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Okay!"

Alicia nodded, "There are still some cold foods in the cupboard, which are about to expire, and I just took them there to eat."

So, they returned to the castle and began to prepare for a picnic at noon.

By the way, Shaar put the army horse named Luna on the grassland of the peninsula. She seemed to like the grassland very much, and as soon as she let go of the rein, she ran wantonly on the grassland of the peninsula.

They came to the big lake in the center of the peninsula, spread tablecloths, served cold food such as bread, and brought a few bottles of jam.

Alicia cut a few pieces of meat from the cows and skewered them on a few iron skewers and brought them out together.

Today's weather is very good, the sky is clear, and there are large clouds hanging in the sky, so it will not be too hot or too cold.

This is not a wind belt, so the waves are very gentle, and the sea breeze is also very weak. Occasionally, it blows past, bringing a little bit of coolness.

This time, almost everyone in the castle came out, even Calcifer ran out, Shaar also made the best use of it, dug a hole by the lake, and put some firewood in for him to burn.

And those few skewers of beef were grilled by Shaar next to the fire, and the gravy sizzled out after a while.

I haven't eaten Saxili beef for several days, and just smelling it makes my mouth water.

When the beef kebabs were grilled, Shaar put a chair by the lake and set up a fishing rod. It was a high-end product he bought in the imperial capital, but he never had time to try it.

Xia also invited Semele and Sebastian, two of his few friends in this time and space.

But it is conceivable that only Semele came.

Now is the time of war, and Sebastian has absolutely no time to come.

Each of them held a fishing rod and fished together by the big lake.

Between them was a wooden box containing some ice cubes, which had been brought from the ice cellar.

Put a few bottles of wine on the ice, waiting for the barbecue to be cooked, these bottles of wine are probably ready to be chilled.

While drinking wine, eating barbecue, blowing the sea breeze, watching the ripples of the lake, no matter how much sorrow you have in your heart, it will disappear at this moment.

Shaar stared at the calm float, feeling that it was a bit boring to wait, so he looked at Semele, "How about we compare who is the first to catch the fish?"

"Of course." Semmerer teased, "But are you sure you want to compare?"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm a god."

"The rules of the game are that no one is allowed to use magic power or divine power." Shaar said, "The fun of fishing will be lost in that case."

"no problem!"

"Alicia."

Shaar rolled up his sleeves, and said confidently to Alicia who was sitting beside her on the tablecloth and watching the barbecue.

"Watch me catch a big white fish for you, and eat grilled fish later!"

"So confident?" Semmerer grinned.

He stared at the float on the lake, his eyes flickering.

"God will not lose to man."

after an hour
Shaar was still sitting on that small chair, staring at Semele who didn't know when he moved to the opposite side, staring longingly at the calm and waveless lake.

The wooden barrels with fish beside the two of them were empty.

"There are no fish in this lake, right?" Xia Ya muttered depressingly.

Isabel and Arthur have finished their equestrian lessons, let go of the reins and let Luna run freely on the peninsula.

There is only one way out of the entire peninsula, and that way has been blocked by Shaar's magic, so there is no fear of Luna getting lost.

They sat on the tablecloth placed beside Shaar, eating bread and freshly roasted beef.

The beef in Saxili is tender and juicy, and it is fat but not greasy after a bite. It only needs some simple seasoning to be very delicious.

Hearing Shaar's muttering, Isabel couldn't help laughing, "If it doesn't work, forget it, Arthur caught one a few days ago."

"It must be because of the wrong location." Shaar murmured.

He carried the fishing rod and bucket and planned to go to the other side of the lake, but suddenly, the resistance from the fishing rod attracted Shaar's attention.

He immediately put down the bucket and began to manipulate the fishing rod. Feeling the resistance from the fishing rod, Shaar shouted excitedly.

"Semmerle, I seem to be hooked!"

Semele opened his eyes and looked at Xiaya's gradually bending fishing rod.

Shaar began to use his strength rhythmically to consume the fish's physical strength, but the strength of this fish was obviously not small, and the fishing rod was pressed into an astonishing arc.

Obviously, there are no fishing rods made of artificial fiber materials in this era. Most of them are made of tough bamboo, but the quality is not as good as modern fishing rods.

But fortunately, the fishing rod Xia Ya bought was made of good materials, and he could clearly feel that the "fish" had gradually lost its strength and was moving in the direction he controlled.

He proudly showed off to Semele.

"It must be a big fish."

Then, he began to use his strength, and some ripples began to appear on the calm water surface. Under the watchful eyes of Alicia and others, the hooked "big fish" finally surfaced and was caught in the air by the fishing rod.

Although it is covered with a lot of aquatic plants, if you observe carefully.

That should be a .box?

The smile on Shaar's face also transferred to Semele's face at the same time.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Semele couldn't help laughing out loud, and then teased.

"Your fish is really big!"

Just after he finished speaking, his fishing rod also started to move.

He became even more excited, and quickly spun the reel, fiddled with the fishing rod, and began to wrestle with this "fish".

Soon, he felt that the strength of this "fish" was getting weaker and weaker, he grinned and said proudly.

"It looks like I won!"

Suddenly, he seized the right moment, exerted a strong force, and the thing biting the hook quickly surfaced.

Semele's smile instantly froze on his face.

It was a branch entwined with aquatic plants, which should have been blown into the lake by a strong wind.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

Xia also covered his stomach and laughed louder than Semele.

"You're not much better than me!"

Semele sighed helplessly, but then he and Shaar looked at each other, and the two laughed together, very happy.

They gave up fishing.

They spent more than an hour proving one thing, without the blessing of magic and divine power, their fishing skills are not much better than ten-year-old children.

They sat around the tablecloth together, drank wine, chatted, ate barbecue, and enjoyed the passage of time without any scruples.

After a while, it seemed to be too comfortable, Xia Ya felt a little sleepy.

Seeing that Alicia was kneeling on the tablecloth, he lay down very naturally, and pillowed on her lap.

Alicia didn't feel uncomfortable at all, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she gently brushed Shaar's hair behind her ears.

She could feel that Shaar was in a good mood today.

And Xia Ya is in a good mood, and she will also be in a good mood.

"Are you still eating fish tonight?" Alicia asked softly while touching Shaar's hair.

Xia Ya let out a breath of turbid air, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and said, "Eat, I haven't eaten for a long time anyway, just go and buy one."

Alicia smiled, looked at Shaar's pinnae, and said on a whim, "How about I dig out your ears for you?"

Xia Ya opened his eyes with some doubts, and saw Alicia raised the wooden earpick in his hand.

"It's very comfortable. My mother used to help my father clean his ears. It also makes people more relaxed."

"Then try it."

Shaar agreed, and then turned in one direction, turning one of his ears upwards.

She stroked his face with her hair first, and he felt his brows slowly relax. After observing the structure of his ears, Alicia began to help Xiaya clean his ears with ear picks.

The nerves inside the ears are very sensitive, so even the slightest touch will feel very itchy. Alicia's movements are very light, and she is afraid of hurting herself. The fresh air is mixed with the faint fragrance of Alicia's body. It is crispy and numb.

As if wandering in the clouds without burden, this sense of relaxation made him a little sleepy, his eyelids couldn't hold on, and slowly closed.
Seeing this scene, Semele smiled helplessly and sighed softly.

He sat by the lake and picked up the fishing rod, hung a little more bait on the hook, threw the hook into the lake again, and by the way picked up the chilled wine on one side and drank it.

Arthur picked up a napkin on one side and wiped his mouth, then curiously walked towards the box caught by Shaar, and squatted down to observe it carefully.

"Don't touch that thing, Arthur, it's too dirty." Isabel walked over from the side.

But soon, she was attracted by the box. The top of the box was covered with water plants, but the whole looked very intact.

Judging by the number of aquatic plants on it, it should have been soaked for several years. After soaking for such a long time, the general wood is already rotten.

But this wood can even see the original pattern, so it should be made of some more expensive wood.

And the boxes that hold things are all made of such precious wood, what will be inside?
A trace of curiosity arose in Isabel's heart, and she said to Arthur.

"open to take a look."

Calcifer was also attracted, flew up from the fire pit on the ground, and flew to Isabel's side.

"Is this wooden box caught by Shaar a good thing?"

"The box is a good thing." Isabel said. "It looks old and has a long history. The material alone is worth a lot, but I'm more curious about the contents inside."

Hearing this, Arthur also felt a little curious. He stretched out his hand to clean up the water plants on it, enduring his nausea. The box was locked, but to Arthur now, the lock was no different.

Easily pry open the lock, and slowly open the wooden box.

Surprisingly, although it has been soaked for so long, there is no water in the wooden box at all, and the degree of sealing is amazing.

There are several quaint parchments inside, with some patterns drawn on them.

Arthur frowned slightly, and Isabel nimbly jumped onto Arthur's shoulder to look at the patterns carefully.

She murmured softly.

"It's like...a map?"

　It is really uncomfortable not to save the manuscript, and there is no one to review the manuscript

　　I used to read it occasionally when I was saving manuscripts. Maybe I could change a chapter three or four times or even five or six times. Every time I read it, I would have a new feeling. Now that I haven’t saved the manuscript, I always feel almost meaningless when I write something. I read it again. There are also some problems with the rhythm in some places
　　For example, yesterday’s historical torrent, there is no need to add the last “No Desire, No Seeking” now, just post it in the original version.

　　In the chapter of the original version, there is actually no such paragraph, because some of the previous comments temporarily added the description of the protagonist's state of mind.

　　After adding that paragraph, I always feel a lot of procrastination and a little awkward.

　　But there is a big difference between changing it after it is sent out and changing it before it is sent out.

　　However, I am already working hard to save manuscripts. I will open a copy of this chapter after it is published every day. There may be more tomorrow.
