Chapter 392: Loyal to You
Alexander Marcus, who was standing in front of the door, stopped once more, and then repeated the action he had done again like a programmed machine, and he patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, then straightened the hat on his head that did not need to be corrected, and finally stroked the flat mirror-like cloak behind his back restlessly.
Although he himself knew that for the adult who valued practicality more than appearance, it was enough for him to be able to be polite, and there was no need to pay too much attention to appearance.
But I don't know why, as soon as he sees the door in front of him, he can't help but worry about these trivial things, as if he has to be cautious as long as he is not careful, he will be sent to hell from which he will never recover.
It's obviously that kind adult, why am I so out of shape, I'm so sorry for that adult's love for me.
However, perhaps this is also a charm that is unique to that adult.
He stood in front of a polished marble wall, and after checking his appearance through the reflection inside, he walked to the door and knocked lightly, then hurriedly took a few steps back and half-knelt down, and said in his most proud voice: "Your servant, Your Excellency the Six Overlords, Lord of Torlorins, and the vampire Count Alexander Marcus have come to meet you. ”
After saying that, he lowered his head deeply, deeply, as if he was about to put his face on the ground.
But as the minutes passed, the door still showed no sign of opening, and everything else in the space seemed to be asleep except for his own voice, which still echoed, and he stayed quietly in his place, without making a sound.
Tick –
A drop of sweat fell down his fair cheeks, and he subconsciously touched his face with his other hand, only to find that his face was already covered with cold sweat at some point.
"Venerable ......" When he raised his head and was about to speak again, the door slowly opened before the echo of the previous sentence disappeared completely, so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, as if he had offended others because of his own action.
As the door slowly opened, a European-style study filled with all kinds of ancient books and new classics appeared in front of him.
"What's wrong my servant. And as the door was fully opened, a slightly lazy voice also opened the door, as if it had been calculated, and it reached his ears just right.
"Your Excellency, the contemptible man has come to reply to the progress of the mission at your behest. Although he didn't look up, he could still feel that the adult was sitting in the middle of thousands of books in the study, exuding a majestic figure under the reflection of hundreds of night pearls.
"Speak. As he spoke, the Six Overlords turned the page in their hand to the next page with a snort.
"In accordance with your will, all the serfs and slaves of the various territories have been gathered in the chosen plains and have begun to work, and the breeding of livestock has begun, and a meat workshop of all kinds will soon be built according to your orders. ”
"Very well, but what about the construction of the water conservancy project?" Although his words proved that he was satisfied with Marcus's work, his voice still sounded like a pool of stagnant water.
"Everything is as you wish, my lord, the silted river has been cleared, the newly opened canal through the fields has been prepared, and everything is going smoothly according to your orders, my lord. ”
"What about the other lords, don't they have any opinions?"
"My esteemed lord, there is none, and never will be, that all the perfect decisions you have made have been met with unprecedented unanimity, and all are hopeful about the future. ”
Or, if anyone dares to oppose your proposal or offend you, including me, all your servants will do their best to make him disappear from this world entirely.
There was another sound of flipping a book, and the flame on the candle on the desk that was used as a decoration swayed slightly.
"Hmm...... So, what about the construction of the river port?"
"All have been completed, my lord, all of them, without exception, and following your guidance, the ports built are all natural havens and ice-free harbors blessed by God, and even if the weather is cold in the terrible waves, there are still our ships on the sea. ”
"Of course, my lord, under your wise leadership, the canal has been built very smoothly, and now a number of vast channels have been completed, and even tens of thousands of catties of power ships can be easily navigated. ”
That's right! A huge canal that can be easily navigated even by a magic (douqi) powered ship carrying tens of thousands of pounds of cargo, and most incredibly much, there is not just one such canal, but several huge interconnected shipping networks.
It's exciting just thinking about it.
"Is that the only way? But this time, it was no longer the original tepid tone that faced him, but a somewhat angry voice, "Is that all there is to it?"
Although the voice was not loud, it was like a thunderclap in Marcus's ears, which frightened him for a while, and he only heard the six overlords say in a cold voice: "If you need resources, you can just say it, and I will help you get it together, and on the other hand, I want you to expand the original canal for me, to the extent that even a ship with a card number of hundreds of thousands of catties can easily sail." ”
"Few, hundreds of thousands of catties!...... How," he said in a trembling voice.
"That's right, even if you use those fourth-order or higher magical beasts, or which warriors you want to use, you must expand the canal to the size I want, understand?"
"Yes, everything is as you wish. As he spoke, he lowered his head even more.
Whew-
"So, is there anything else you can do?"
"......," Marcus, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind to die, "Your Excellency, I have a question that I hope you can answer for me. ”
"Say it. ”
"My lord, I can't understand your profound intentions for what you said about the plan just now, but I still have some of my own experience, but I want to know why the lower races of the human race and the beast race allow us to live together, obviously they are just a group of weak and stupid inferior races that are completely useless to us, and now they want to cut off our land to live exclusively for them, which I can't understand. ”
After waiting for a while, I heard the person in the study whisper in disappointment as if he sighed, "What a stupid guy." ”
"Yes, it's the incompetence of your subordinates that bothered you. Marcus clutched the clothes on his chest tightly, and the other man's words smashed into his chest like a hammer, leaving him breathless.
"That land is a place for experiments. ”
"Doing, experimenting?"
"Look out a little farther Marcus," the other party moved his fingers and let out a tooth-aching crackling sound, "One day, the three major clans will be divided into a whole, and then only oppression alone will not be able to get the best results, do you understand?"
By splitting ...... Becoming one.
It turns out that the eyes of adults have turned to the entire continent!
"Adults deserve to be adults! Everything we can think about is not something we can touch, and we have been taught. ”
"Okay, let's go if there's nothing to do, I want to rest. ”
"Yes, the contemptible man retired. After saying that, he kowtowed to the inside again, and as soon as he stood up, he heard a crisp sound like spring water dripping from the study, and a pale green fluorescence enveloped his body with the crisp sound, and then the fatigue on his body disappeared without a trace with the disappearance of the sound.
"Marcus, remember, after all, you are not nobles from famous families, although I have me in the light, but sometimes I can't do anything in the dark, you are all brought up by me, I don't want anyone to be there before the great cause is completed. After speaking, he only heard a click, and the other party closed the book in his hand and said softly, "Pay attention to safety." ”
My lord, please don't do this in the future, your gentleness is too extravagant for us.
After all, we're just a bunch of dispensable stuff.
The corners of Marcus's mouth rose, and he turned his back to him, and put his right fist to his heart, and said aloud, "As long as we can dedicate ourselves to you, even if we go to the soup and fire, we will not hesitate, Lord Augustin." ”
