Chapter Twenty-Five: The Jewel and the Pagoda

Ramogis led Mel down the secret passage, and it didn't take long for him to reach the end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Maier heard the guards move some kind of switch, and the left wall rumbled away. Behind the wall is a long staircase that looks straight down, exactly like the entrance to the room of Ramorgis. When the two climbed into the secret passage, the guards moved the switch again, restored the wall to its original position, and left silently.

After the two of them descended the long staircase, there was another fire below. After the two men landed on their feet, Maier saw four more guards. There is no doubt that they are also die-hard loyalists of Ramogis. Ramogis said that there are four such long staircase passages in the castle, which lead directly underground and can also lead to escape passages. However, the Long Ladder Passage and the passage connecting it are not part of the Escape Passage, but a separate Passage.

Each time the long staircase was changed, the guards around Ramorgis and Maier would be replaced. When they reached the secret passage in the underground part, the guards changed two more groups. The exit to the secret passage is also a long ladder, and after the two of them climb the long ladder, Mel finds himself in a very ordinary-looking house.

The owners of the dwelling are a seemingly ordinary Dugu couple with six children in the family. They saluted Ramogius respectfully, and saluted Mel at the direction of Ramogis.

"They're just ordinary citizens, but they're also my diehards." Ramogis laughed, "It's not just them, it's all my diehards who live around here." I have a house here to disguise my identity. From now on, you are to call me 'Lady Rongfei', and you will be called 'Miss Tajimi'!" Identity is a friend I just made abroad. ”

Mrs. Rong Fei...... Then there should be "Mr. Rong Fei"?

Ramogis saw through Mayr's malicious speculation and said politely.

"I'm sorry, in the setting, 'Mr. Rong Fei' has passed away due to illness, and 'Mrs. Rong Fei' is now a rich widow. Is the candy I gave you still there? ”

"Uh, it's still there."

Mel took out the sugar that Ramogis had given him from his handbag, it was a lump of sugar that looked like some kind of powder had congealed, colorful and delicious.

"Let's eat one now."

As he spoke, Ramogis took a candy cube out of his handbag, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. Mel hesitated for a moment, then tossed the candy cube into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. The taste of this sugar is very ordinary, no different from ordinary white sugar cubes.

"It's a medicinal candy." Ramogis explains, "The powdered sugar is mixed with several tasteless herbs that can temporarily change a person's voice when eaten. ”

"Huh?! But your voice hasn't changed, has it? ”

"Even if it's a special medicine, it can't work just after taking it." Ramogis smiled charmingly, "The effect of the medicine will only show up after ten minutes, this medicine will only make the voice thinner, and it will take a certain amount of practice to make a woman's voice heard." Each candy has less than half an hour's effect, so from now on, you'll have to take one every half an hour - by the way, it's expensive, about 500 liels, so don't waste it. ”

500 lil is about 1250 Wentai Rong money, and Maier saw that he ate more than 1 Tairong money casually, and his flesh hurt terribly.

Ramogis gave Mel a ten-minute rest, and after the potion had taken effect, he took him to practice the pronunciation of the female voice. It took nearly half an hour for Mel to make a sound that was very close to that of a female voice. Ramogis was not in a hurry, and on the way to practice his pronunciation, he gave Mel another pill and continued to teach him patiently.

After two hours, Mel was finally able to use the female voice proficiently. By this time it was getting dark, and Mel had expected that Ramogis would give up shopping and take him back to the castle. But he didn't want to let his men bring two small bags of medicinal candy, gave one of them to Mel, and then led him out.

After going out, Maier carefully reminded Ramogis in a female voice: "Madame Jungfi, it is getting dark. ”

"yes, I know." Ramogis smiled charmingly again, "It's because it's getting dark, that's why I'm going out to play." ”

"What can I do after dark?"

"Of course I'm going to a banquet."

"Going to a banquet?"

"That's right." A cold light flashed in Ramogis's eyes, "It's a banquet that only dignitaries can attend." ”

Maier sensed the murderous aura in Ramogis, so he obediently closed his mouth and asked no more questions. Mel followed Ramogis to the mansion he had bought outside the castle, where Ramogis had the maid of the mansion put on his make-up and dress him up in the style that was currently in vogue in Eugsburg. After this, the two of them got into a carriage with many ornate decorations, and set off towards the banquet hall that Ramogis had spoken.

The banquet was held in the southern part of the city, in a mansion larger than Fort Crown. The main entrance of the mansion is very atmospheric and magnificent, compared to the mansion of Ramogis, which even has to be described as "shabby". But Mayer was not surprised, because the southern part of the city of Augsburg was almost entirely filled with such mansions. The last time he came to Ögusburg, Meier stopped by to visit this area, and he was really surprised at the time, and sighed that Ögusburg was too rich.

Horse-drawn carriages of all kinds were parked outside the main entrance. On the journey from the mansion in Ramogis, Mel felt that Ramogis' carriage was fancy enough. But compared to the carriage outside this mansion, it is a drop in the bucket. The decorations on these carriages were worth a lot of money at first glance, but as if they didn't cost money, they hung all over every corner of the carriage, and the overly dense decoration even gave Maier a feeling of disgust.

Ramogis noticed the change in Mel's expression and smiled charmingly again.

"Pick a carriage from here and sell it, at least enough for your people to eat for a week."

Mel now has more than 600,000 people, and when he rushed to Byronsburg with hundreds of thousands of immigrants, it was the members of the Theological Research Society and the catechumens who donated all their family property, so that Mel and others could bring these people to their destination. In order to save supplies, the food rations of the migrant contingent were rationed, and those with an average amount of food could only eat eight minutes full, and those with a large amount of food could quickly become hungry.

In order to boost the morale of the troops, the Theological Society doubled the amount of food rationed on the last day of the week, so that the immigrants could have enough to eat for the day. Migrants can also save surplus food for emergency use. Even so, the weekly attrition of the migrant ranks makes him feel dizzy.

There is no doubt that a huge sum of money is needed to feed more than 600,000 of Myr's people for a week. But Maier knew that Ramogis was not wrong. It was enough to remove the ornaments from one of the carriages and sell them.

After the two got out of the car, Ramogis led Maier directly into the main entrance of the mansion. There was an endless stream of people who came to the banquet, and the guards at the door could not confirm the identities of the guests one by one, and could only guess the identity of the other party based on the clothes and temperament of the visitors.

Ramogis and Mel are both dressed as rich men, so the two enter the mansion without any problems. Inside the mansion, candlesticks as thick as a man's fist can be seen everywhere, and they are like walls that divide the spacious courtyard into different areas, illuminating the whole house.

The main venue of the banquet was in the ballroom with a circular vault in the center. Ramogis led Maier through the crowd to the main entrance of the ballroom, chatting with a few people who seemed to be acquaintances along the way.

After the banquet began, the owner of the mansion waited near the main entrance of the ballroom, and whoever came to talk to him, he only dealt with a few random words. As soon as Koramogis entered the door, he greeted him warmly, and his smile was as flattering as he could.

"Madame Rong Fei, you are so beautiful tonight."

At the praise of the owner of the mansion, Ramogis smiled disapprehantly.

"Oh, you mean I'm not pretty, am I?"

"How is this possible? No matter what time it is, you are the most beautiful flower in my heart! ”

The mansion owner's flattery made Mel almost laugh out loud, and the act of holding back the laughter made the mansion owner notice him. The moment he saw Meyer, the owner of the mansion was stunned. His reaction barely made Ramogis laugh, and he covered half of his face with a feather fan in time to prevent the others from seeing his smile.

"This is Miss Tajimi." "She was the daughter of a wealthy Leiding businessman who was engaged a few months ago," Ramogis told the owner of the mansion. ”

"Oh? Is it just an engagement? ”

The mansion's owner's eyes lit up, and Ramogis almost burst out laughing again. Mel was very depressed by the attitude of the owner of the mansion, and he knew that this old rabbit-eared man, who looked to be at least fifty years old, wanted to pursue him, and his heart was disgusting.

"That's right, it's just an engagement."

Ramogis removed his feather fan and smiled at the owner of the mansion. At this time, the owner of the mansion remembered his original purpose, and quickly took out a small box from his bosom with a smile, opened it, and showed it to Ramogis and Maier.

"Madame Jungfi, what do you think of this gem that I bought from an Elt jeweler?"

In the very center of the box is a quail egg-sized red gemstone, which has been processed into the shape of a teardrop, which at first glance looks like a red water drop that is dripping.

"It's beautiful." Ramogis's eyes narrowed slightly, "It must be expensive, right?" ”

"No, it's cheap, it's only 50,000 miles."

The actual price of this gem was 10,000 li, and the owner of the mansion deliberately exaggerated its price in order to please "Madame Rongfei".

"Your carriage is very tastefully decorated, but I always feel that something is missing from it, so I bought this gem for you, I hope you will like it."

"You're so kind."

Ramogis smiled slightly, not taking the gem from the owner of the mansion.

"I've heard that you've recently bought a very ferocious dog from the Anwick people for a lot of money, and you have to eat fresh meat for every meal, is that true?"

"It's true!"

The owner of the mansion thought that Ramogis was interested in the dog he had just bought, and immediately left the main venue with Ramogis and Mel to the courtyard on the east side of the mansion. The courtyard, which covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters, is also brightly lit, with a variety of huts and cages for all kinds of pets.

In a hut, Mel saw a few spiritless baitas, and when they smelled the Letinians, they immediately approached the fence and cried out for help. Outside, the keepers were afraid that they would disturb the guests, so they took up sticks to scare the baitas. However, the Baita ignored the intimidation of the keepers and screamed even louder.

When the owner of the mansion heard the cry of Baita, he secretly cried out in his heart. He bought them for 20,000 lirs from a few pet dealers, and he kept them for three days.

He is interested in "Miss Tajimi", but "Miss Tajimy" is a Leytin. He was very aware of the Leiting people's "Baita complex", and just now he was bent on chasing "Mrs. Rongfei" first, forgetting that "Miss Tajimi" was a matter of the Leiting people. If "Miss Tajimi" asks him to let go of these baitas, he will have to do so in order to make a good impression on "Mrs. Jungphy" and "Miss Tajimi".

When Mel heard the cry of Batta, she immediately went to the hut. Ramogis took the opportunity to tell the owner of the mansion that "Miss Tajimi" was an introverted and very caring Letting, and repeatedly stated that she had a very good relationship with "Miss Tajimi", and that if "Miss Tajimi" was unhappy, she would be unhappy too.

In order to get the heart of the "beauty", the owner of the mansion can only ask the keeper to let go of Baita. As soon as they were released from the hut, they gathered around Mel, and one of them even climbed on top of her. Maier asks the keeper for feed, and the keeper gives him a few pieces of white bread of Leytin.
