Chapter 488: The Sorrow of the Little People
Who is Angie? Not to mention his illustrious family background, he is a powerful silver-level mecha warrior at a young age, and he is now the king of Navajo, Negus.
Such an important person, what she said, even if it was a casual joke, was like a boulder falling into the Autumn Lake, and when it was spread outside, it could make a huge wave.
Parkinson was stunned, Scarlett covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes trembled slightly. is Hurd, the boss of the very city government, who is terrified at the moment.
And Du Lan, who was accompanying him, changed his face drastically, and his eyes showed disbelief.
Although Angie, the countess, is known for her grace and elegance, who is obsessed with her and is still depressed, which one is not a strong man with a name and surname?
Those people are either the heirs of the future Marquis and Count, or the sons of the world's most expensive people, or mechfighters as talented as her. How could it be that a small mechanic in the greenstone flower venue in the Sun Block in Qianshan City could afford it?
Especially for Viscount Dulan, who was already unhappy with Tang Lang, the countess said that he was cute, but she would not give him a chance to get close, because he was too old with a bit of banter, but Dulan knew that for modern humans who have really become middle-aged after 50 now, it is just a pretext.
But, this Liu Lang, how can he be virtuous?
As for the high-level people of greenstone flowers, they are more afraid of another outcome.
Liu Lang and Anji's romantic night is nothing to the still open folk customs, but it is very likely that they will encounter an extremely painful fate in the future, whether they will sink to the bottom of the river, or be broken into ten thousand pieces, or be assassinated in the alley by the admirers of the countessγγγγγγ Either one, it is an unbearable consequence.
Of course, it is not easy for the small greenstone flower venue to be alone. It is likely to be unstoppable ripples.
Hurd's face turned bitter and said, "Lord Earl is too loving, this is just a small handyman in my venue, I really don't dare to be such a compliment as Lord Earl." Then he said with a straight face: "Liu Lang! Don't come back soon. What is your status, and how can you stand by the side of the Earl!? β
However, before Hurd's words were finished, a slight smile crossed the corner of Anji's mouth: "What, Your Excellency Baron Hurd, who else do I need to ask for advice first?" β
This sentence was a little too heavy, and it scared Hurd's face pale, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead, "Don't dare, Lord Anji, Hurd knows his mistake!" β
"He's Liu Lang, right! Sure enough, it's a cute man, even the name is so cute" Anji's eyes wandered, and he chuckled: "Then, he will be my personal valet here." β
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts sank.
"Okay, just kidding you, Earl Ben just needs a local who is familiar with the environment here, and Liu Lang is also a handsome child!" Angie seemed to feel that the purpose of tossing the fragile hearts of the little people around her had been achieved, so she smiled happily, dropped a sentence and walked forward alone.
When we heard the word "joke", everyone was shocked and suspicious, thinking that maybe you thought it was just a joke, but we were almost scared of this "joke" and the blood flowed backwards. Thinking about Anji's fame, she just casually said such words that made them thrilled.
In fact, according to Anji's words, if she doesn't look at "Liu Lang" again, they would rather believe that Anji is just a subordinate Liu Lang, and according to her previous "glamorous name", most of the people who can become her guests are the top people in the kingdom, and her vision is very high, not just anyone can get into it.
Hurd and Parkinson both breathed a sigh of relief, and Parkinson glared at Tang Lang, who was full of innocence, blaming him for being so sideways that he was frightened.
Scarlett's heart hanging in her throat also relaxed. Led by Duran and Hurd, Angie led the crowd into the venue, and Scarlett followed. From this angle, looking at the silhouette of Tang Lang, who was following the steps behind the countess, there was an indescribable disappointment in his heart.
Thinking just now that Anji had a crush on Liu Lang, Scarlett was anxious, but there was also a vague worry, as if something that belonged to her would be snatched away. And the snatcher is still a countess with a noble status!
It's like finding a pebble on the beach that is even beautiful but doesn't even know whether to throw or stay, and a person suddenly appears next to her, coveting it as if she had seen a rare treasure, which stimulates her heart of protection.
But in the end, she found out that the other party was just joking, so she was stunned, and the stone she was holding in her hand was still just an ordinary pebble, and it would never become a flawless white jade.
This is somewhat similar to her fate, no matter how hard she tries, she will only be able to stand alone in the greenstone flower venue, and she will not be able to get on a broader stage, just like an ugly duckling in the countryside who will never transform into a beautiful white swan.
And Liu Lang is no matter how special it is. Parkinson and Hurd could not bend his backbone, but in the presence of the noble earl, he could only abandon his self-esteem, because he could not cross the most cruel class rules in the world.
The sorrow of the little people.
It's just that, although she knows the truth, Scarlett is still a little sad.
Especially when he saw Tang Lang's thin back at this time, his heart couldn't help but ache faintly, that man, but standing under the autumn sun, holding hands with her and promising her, there will definitely be a new era!
γγγγγγ
The Condor Company has released new products before, and it was originally a week-long display of the latest achievements, but because the civil war in the kingdom finally broke out, the royal capital controlled all the materials, resulting in the latest mecha being delayed to the next few days half a month later.
This press conference was unprecedentedly grand.
In addition to the many nobles and large enterprises in Qianshan City, even many famous nobles in the royal capital came to cheer. To use an inappropriate analogy: The earl walks all over the ground, and the viscount is not as good as a dog!
Because of a new mecha press conference, these characters who brought together Qianshan City have exceeded the normal specifications of the usual, and it is also for a while to make people discuss that this may be related to the current grim domestic situation.
The Eastern Front of the Central Military Region was defeated, and the Restoration Army may soon be in the royal capital, and under such tremendous pressure, the nobles of the Central Military Region will inevitably panic. They had chosen to surrender to the Negus, who was in control of the army in the face of the last round of upheaval in the kingdom, and even if they wanted to turn back, they would inevitably be liquidated afterwards. And before that, they have to make sure that their half-heartedness is not discovered by the Negus, the strong personality of the Negus is not like the old king, at most he will only deprive you of the title of nobility, which is very likely to destroy the family and destroy the grass on the wall.
In this case, many people pin their hopes on the new mecha products of the Condor Company, if this mecha is outstanding enough, with the Kingdom's Central Military Region concentrating more than 70% of the country's huge manufacturing power, it may be able to create a useful mecha army in a short period of time to block the front of the Restoration Army.
It doesn't matter who is the boss, the important thing is that their interests are not damaged, which is a typical decline and decaying aristocratic mentality.
When a person goes in pursuit of the necessities of life, he is often diligent and courageous; When a person pursues consumer goods, he tends to become lazy and mild; When a person pursues the luxuries of life, the person becomes weak. Obviously, these nobles of the Navajo Kingdom are not short of necessities and consumer goods, and when such a group of people become the masters of the country, the twilight of the empire will come.
In a sense, the reason why Negus did such a bad thing is probably not only his own will, but perhaps also represents more ordinary people. Just like Scarlett, they are also looking forward to the dawn of a new era.
There is no doubt that their goal has been achieved, and whether the restoration army succeeds or fails, a large number of old nobles will be replaced, and a large number of new nobles will rise. In this period of reckless replacement, it is just the last struggle of these old nobles.
So at this time, I don't know how many pairs of eyes there are in the outside world, looking at the greenstone flower venue that is not known in the kingdom.
As more and more heavyweights gathered here, Hurd's whole person was in a state of excitement from the inside out, and the last time he had such a feeling that every cell in his body was burning, I am afraid it was when he fell in love with that dusty woman at the age of seventeen. He knew that no matter what happened to the rally, it would eventually make the greenstone venue famous. They are the ultimate beneficiaries.
Maybe it didn't have to be for him to get Hurd to the top of his life.
Leaders from all walks of life gathered in the banquet hall of the venue, but in terms of scenery, naturally no one overpowered the Countess Anji, who represented the King of Negus, and the Marquis of Thousand Hills, the first person in the city, and the hall could be regarded as a starry moon.
However, because of their dazzlingness, no one paid attention to the "manservant" who had been following them with a dark face that people couldn't see clearly.
However, Tang Lang felt that he had been staring at him all the time, pretending to look at the source inadvertently, and when he saw Scarlett, who was dressed like a hibiscus out of water, he quickly removed the pair of pupils that were lingering on him, and seemed to communicate with the person next to him casually.
Tang Lang sighed in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly grasped that a very sharp and hostile gaze pierced his back, and he turned around, just in front of the man who was wearing a windbreaker and had thick hairspray and wanted to become a "Super Saiyan" at any time.
That's Viscount Duran.
Finding that Tang Lang was so keen on the hostility in his eyes, Du Lan was stunned for a moment, but then, his eyes flashed with essence.
He didn't have any doubts about Tang Lang's true identity, but of course, since he saw Scarlett holding hands with him, he used the energy in his hand to dig three feet into Tang Lang, knowing that this "Liu Lang" is not an ordinary person, he is a genius in machine repair, and he has made a lot of money with mecha models.
However, when it comes to the talent of a mechanic, he scoffs, what is the use of having a good talent? The advanced knowledge in this world is in the hands of the upper echelons, and now every famous mecha warrior above the silver level, and the maintenance master under his command, have several teams to rotate, and without exception, these people are all from the mecha academy of the highest hall of the Navajo Kingdom. It was the most rigorous and professional education he had ever received, and he had the most profound understanding of mechanical engineering, which he could not make up for by growing up in a small place with a little talent.
And Dulan also knows a small detail, that kid actually bought a tattered mecha and dreamed of becoming a mecha warrior!
Originally, as Dulan, there was no need to care about such a small person, but Scarlett was the one he was determined to get, and he didn't mind destroying this kid's shallow and slim ideals and telling him what the reality of this world was.
That is, this wandering kid can never become a real mecha warrior.
If you don't have an identity to match, but you want to get a noble swan, you have to pay the price!
