86. The first hegemon of the East Village, the castle again

The sea breeze is howling, and the sound of waves is endless.

Backed by the sea, the castle is built on a cliff and is a short mountain road from the royal city.

The horses' hooves and wheels left their mark on the muddy road, and the horsemen looked up at the magnificent castle in the distance, and the horsemen in the car looked a little nervous. Normally, there were not many vehicles passing on this road, but recently a series of major events have taken place in Yad, and the envoys of various countries, the officials of the territories, the dignitaries of high status, and the leaders of the great powers have all come with their own purposes.

Everyone knows, and not everyone knows, that Jad will usher in big changes that no one can imagine.

Truth be told, the groom didn't want to come here because he was afraid of accidentally offending someone he couldn't afford and being beaten...... But for the sake of the generous and beautiful gold coin in the car, he finally accepted the job.

After the winding mountain road, the majestic gate of the castle has a clear outline.

At this time, the guards guarding the gate were also aware of the carriage.

"Stop! Stop it! ”

A soldier armed with a fine musket, wearing a red velvet uniform and black trousers, stopped in front of the carriage: "No driving ahead. If you want to enter or exit, please show your family badge or pass first!! ”

Seeing the gun in the soldier's hand, some fine sweat flowed from the corners of the coachman's forehead, and the hand holding the reins trembled slightly.

At that moment, he heard a faint noise coming from the carriage behind him. Decades of experience made him realize immediately that it was the clanging sound of coins colliding after shaking the purse. The melody of a nightingale's cry calmed down the coachman's panic at gunpoint.

Then he showed that indifferent and confident smile: "Oh, I'm sorry, sir, it's the first time for my little master to visit His Majesty's castle of your country, and I don't know the rules here, please forgive me." ”

A flash of realization flashed in the soldier's eyes. This is not surprising, and each country has its own rules. There have been so many ambassadors to His Majesty Yad lately, and it is not uncommon to meet one or two daredevils.

"So, please show your passes."

Surveying the carriage, which seemed to be expensive, the soldier extended his hand to the groom, who handed him the parchment he had prepared.

The soldier unfolded the parchment and looked at it, stunned: "Another suitor?" ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and the soldier returned the parchment to the groom, and said, "Good luck, sir, on the great lawn of the eastern part of the castle, where His Majesty has set up a feast for the purpose of entertaining you distinguished guests who have come to propose to the Princess." ”

The latter sentence was obviously said to the people in the car, in fact, over the years, this guard has seen many people with the idea of marrying a princess to remove the king's notice, and then within a few days, you can hear the comrades in charge of the execution complaining, "I didn't join the army to dispose of corpses, and my body is full of ...... that my wife will not let me go to the kang with this smell."

The soldiers looked at the carriage with some pity in their eyes. Maybe the banquet in the castle will be the last dinner of the young master in the car who has the dream of being a princess.

Because the person who uncovered the notice had any identity, the king also issued an order: Anyone who came to solve the mystery did not need to confirm his identity, which was completely unnecessary. If you succeed, you don't need to say that everyone will find out your name; Fail, whoever you are, another pit will be dug for you in the mass grave outside the city.

And those with honorable status, before showing the power of attorney, will first reveal their identity, so that they may be able to get special treatment, a similar situation that soldiers have been accustomed to in recent days.

'Hmm...... Richly decorated, mild-mannered, but without a family crest. Now in the carriage, maybe it's the son of a merchant, right? It is only this kind of people who do not have a noble title that will not print the family coat of arms on the carriage. ’

Guessing in his heart, he shook his head, and the soldier made way for the carriage, and the large seal on the power of attorney was enough to prove a lot of things.

Driving the carriage into the castle gate, the coachman's expression was very calm, suppressing his curiosity, not looking at the magnificence and splendor of the castle. There was a servant inside the door who led him to the parking place, and at a glance, it was really crowded, and he was about to catch up with the vegetable market!

It's just that this vegetable market looks a little upscale, and it can be seen from the conversation and clothing of these people that they are all people who know etiquette, even if their status is not high. In terms of dealing with people, he still knows how to advance and retreat, and he will not easily make loud noises.

They were all talking softly, and their eyes flashed with competition and ambition from time to time, and it seemed that everyone was getting along well, but the atmosphere was as oppressive as a battlefield.

The coachman was familiar with such looks, and when he and a few of his peers played Quint, he used them to press down all his bets, and the atmosphere at that time was much heavier than now.

After driving the carriage to the corner and parking, the coachman paid attention to the surroundings, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side, his face that had been tense finally relaxed: "Huh~~ I'm scared to death Dad." ”

He took off his hat and patted it, and then complained: "I said eldest young master, don't entrust me with this kind of work next time, you must know how nervous it is to meet the eyes of those soldiers who have carried guns and been on the battlefield." No, I'm asking for more money! To soothe my fragile liver. ”

"Come less, there is only so much for wages, don't pull it down."

A young man's lazy voice came from the carriage, and then a silver coin flew out of the curtain, the coachman's eyes lit up, and he immediately blew it after taking it, and stopped next to his ear, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your patronage~"

The groom's name is [Clive Jon], because he knows how to read words and looks and is clever enough, coupled with his greedy and cheap character, he will be photographed by the young man in the car, and after paying a certain reward, the groom agrees to play his domestic servant and sends him to the king's castle.

Although the king did not have any strict requirements for the etiquette of the suitor, the young man felt that it was the first time he had met the king, so at least he should look decent enough, right?

Otherwise, when they are seen by those who come to propose, their eyes will make them very unhappy.

The curtain was pulled back, and the employer jumped straight out of the carriage.

Like a well-mannered gentleman among celebrities, the boy was dressed in a large black leather. Even the boy's thin body shows a little boyish chic.

The leather is open without being exposed, and the pine green shirt is embellished with small gray-green squares of clicker fabric. The clasp was fastened along the road, and the pocket watch hanging from the small metal chain hung down the first clasp.

The golden case is embellished with precious jadeite that seems to have come from an exotic land, and the circle of the watch is made of red agate and crolite with 11 small dots, and the 173-cut sparkling diamond is particularly eye-catching above the twelve, thus enhancing the temperament of the whole person by several percent.

Holding a civilization staff embedded with a golden skull of a strange bird, and wearing a cylindrical civilization hat as deep as the night. Under the civilized hat, there are no eyes, only a small mouth and a slight smile, as if everything is under control.

"From now on, you're going to call me Master Jacob-Fry."

PS: It's going to be pushed next week...... Now that I'm going to work hard, I'm sure to keep my commuter pass.

By the way, ask for a recommendation ticket......
