During the battle, Chen Xing soon discovered that the effective distance of his clone was about fifteen meters. Beyond this distance, the clone will blur, become translucent, and lose the ability to interfere with matter.

In addition, creating a clone requires the consumption of eighteen units of psionic energy, which is equivalent to nine charged shots, three to four compressed charged shots, and continuously consumes 1.2-1.3 units of psionic energy every three minutes.

Chen Xing's spiritual power level is one hundred and twenty points, which seems to be a lot, but when the battle is combined with the consumption of other skills, it is estimated that the spirit pool will soon be exhausted. This is still the premise that he has the endless sea area, the spirit pool is doubled, if it is a talent in other fields, it will be overstretched immediately, and it will be difficult to continue.

However, the effect of the car ** battle is also extremely obvious, and the two maids were tossed to death in less than half an hour, which can be seen.

The cargo ship sails on the edge of the ice and blue beard, the water and the sky are colorful, quiet and leisurely. From time to time, you can see the oncoming luxury yachts, and there are groups of beautiful women on the white and smooth deck, wearing bikini swimsuits, fat and thin, and bright colors.

Perhaps seeing that Chen Xing had never been to the royal capital, Lao Ji and the old shipbuilder invariably introduced to Chen Xing the customs of Ice Blue City, as well as various rules and precautions.

According to Lao Ji, Ice Blue City is a place where "there are as many nobles as dogs, and princes walk everywhere". There are only three kinds of people in the city, nobles, vassals, and those who are about to become nobles or vassals. So don't offend people easily, otherwise a person who accidentally runs into a marquis, duke, or even a prince, even if the family is in decline, will invite unnecessary trouble.

The city is inhabited by a very large base of declining aristocracy. They may be incompetent, lazy, or other incomprehensible reasons, lying on the great achievements of their ancestors to eat and drink and wait for death.

This part of the people is the most solid supporter of the rules of the aristocracy, because they have nothing to be proud of besides this.

There's an old saying in Ice Blue: "Money can't buy decency." ”

But in fact, money can buy anything, powerful nobles will definitely not lack money, and only powerful nobles will emphasize "decency". It is precisely because of this that if a wealthy businessman from the bottom wants to enter the aristocratic circle, he must marry a noble lady and integrate into a "decent" life. And the declining aristocracy was able to obtain wealth without work and continue.

"Decency" is the most important part of the core values of Ice Blue City, and everything must be decent.

Failure to employ a sufficient number of minions is unseemly. A nobleman needs to be equipped with a butler, a male frequency, a maid, a cook, a coachman, and a gardener. In the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is extravagance and waste, but in the circle of the aristocracy, it is the obligation to provide employment opportunities.

Ice Blue City follows an ancient tradition that motor vehicles are not allowed to approach, and only horse-drawn carriages and battery cars can be used. It is undignified to not have its own carriage and stables, without one or two noble horses.

It is undignified to light oil lamps and candles at night, and to turn on electric lights; The point of the wood stove in winter, the use of an electric stove is not decent; It is unseemly to go out with a housekeeper and a maid.

What to eat at breakfast, what to eat at afternoon tea, what to eat at dinner, what to eat in different seasons, what to eat on different festivals.

Clothes for sunny days, clothes for cloudy days, clothes for rainy days, clothes for horseback riding, clothes for dinners, clothes for balls, all involve the bits and pieces of life. As for the rules of decency, even for seven days and seven nights, I can't say enough.

Chen Xing's head was drowsy when he heard this, and it seemed that he could only put it aside for a while, and then study slowly when he got there.

When the cargo ship reaches the Red and Blue River, it cannot move any further, because the foreign ships are not clean enough and have to change to luxury yachts or steam trains.

Chen Xing rented a yacht and went down the Red and Blue River. The river is blue and clear, the banks are full of flowers and plants, and ancient sculptures can be seen everywhere, as if you are in the middle of a river.

Farther away are lawns and groves, verdant and verdant, with lakes of all sizes faintly visible, like mirrors placed on the ground.

Just as the nickname of Jinfen Port is "Thousand Sail Port", Ice Blue City is also known as "Thousand Lake City".

The crew on board uniforms were uniformly dressed in dark blue seafarers' uniforms and wore white gloves, and every movement was meticulous. In the face of two beautiful maids, he can also do not squint and concentrate.

"Sir, Ice Blue City is almost here."

The captain walked to the deck and saluted Chen Xing. Chen Xing nodded in return, and it didn't take long for an ice-carved castle to appear at the end of the river.

Like a castle in a fairy tale, the bricks and stones are blue and transparent, and the ice is jade. Standing on the top of the royal capital like a swan, noble and pure, beautiful as poetry and painting.

There are multiple separate marinas on the shore, each with one or two yachts parked next to it. On the pier, waiters in red clothes and white hats stood in a neat line, waiting for the arrival of VIPs. At the end of the boardwalk are several carriages with tall horses and rich styles. Further afield, there is a small and cramped white battery car, and a platform for luggage in the back, which looks like it was for the servants.

Chen Xing stepped off the boat, and a dock steward wearing a tuxedo stepped forward to receive him.

"Good afternoon, sir." After receiving Chen Xing's nod in response, he asked again, "Sir, where are you staying?" ”

"Let's go to the noble hall first." Chen Xing said. Since you are here, you naturally have to go through the formalities first, so as not to be treated as a servant.

"Sir, this way, please." The dock steward put Chen Xing and the two maids into the carriage, and then arranged for others to make the battery car.

"Drive!" The coachman shouted, the horsewhip flicked slightly, and the two horses more than three meters high lifted their white-haired calves, stepped on small broken steps, and gradually accelerated.

The interior of the carriage was decorated with simple and elegant decorations, with beige floral cloth sewn and a small oil lamp hanging on the ceiling. The breeze is coming outside, although it is summer, the temperature here is not high, the wind is cool, and it is very comfortable without turning on the air conditioner.

"Boom Boom ......"

The horse's hooves trotted on the stone road, and in about twenty minutes they entered the side gate of the city.

The curved porch of stone is like a bridge hole, and it is more than 30 meters long when passing by. In other words, the outer walls of Ice Blue City are more than thirty meters thick. There are oil lamps hanging on the walls, and the lights are dim. After a while, my eyes lit up, as if I had traveled through time and space and entered a medieval town.

The streets are crooked, the houses are old and thick, the arches above the stone steps are small and exquisite, the rectangular wooden window sills hang flower pots, and the gold-painted directional wooden signs hang on the corner walls, which are full of life.

After running down the street for a while, the carriage turned into a wide avenue, which was full of flowers and lush greenery. Carriages of all stripes came and went. In the middle of the road, there is a small fountain every few tens of meters, which sprays tiny water.

"Wow~" The two maids stared out of the car with wide eyes, looking very novel.

The horses roam leisurely, very slowly. Pedestrians on both sides of the road walk in an orderly manner, unhurried, unhurried, and not in a hurry like office workers in the metropolis. Everything here is slow, as if the flow of time is also slowing down,

While touring and moving forward, it took more than half an hour for the carriage to reach the noble hall.

The two maids followed Chen Xing into the noble hall, one left and one right. This circular hall is flanked on both sides by sofas facing each other, separated by passages of several meters. The reception staff trotted over, first arranging the seats, then serving lemonade and hot towels.

The female clerk with the portable screen came to his side and asked Chen Xing about the matters.

"Is it the first time to go through the aristocratic procedures?"

"Well, please wait, I'll check your information first, and then submit the application for you, it will only take a few minutes to complete the ......"

The female clerk operated on the screen for a while, and Chen Xing's black watch automatically lit up.

[The information has been reviewed, and the application for the status of baron of the United Kingdom of Ambergris River]

"Drip ......"

[The application has been approved, congratulations to Mr. "Chen Erliu" for obtaining the title of baron, and the world bulletin has been released]

[The territory interface has been opened, and there are no territories at the moment]

[Social credit has been upgraded from "good" to "perfect", please cherish your feathers]

[Baron's allowance of 200 per month is paid on the 25th of each month, and the harvest festival subsidy is 800 on the 20th of December every year]

[You have obtained the Court Maid Contract Document*1, you can go to the Royal Maid Academy to choose a Court Maid]

……

"Lord Baron, the formalities have been completed." The clerkess bowed and said.

"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded and said, then glanced at Ye Qian beside him. The latter understood, and took out two gold coins from the money pouch at his waist as a tip.

"Thank you, sir." The female clerk took the tip, bowed again, then glanced at Ye Qian, and suggested, "Your Excellency is already a nobleman, it is best to hire a suitable butler to handle all the formalities for you, which is more decent." ”

Tips are generally given by the housekeeper, and it is undignified for the maid to give them.

"Where can I get a butler?" Chen Xing asked.

"The Butler Center on West 5th Street." The clerkess replied.

"If I want to apply for a territory, who should I go to?" Chen Xing asked again.

The clerk looked puzzled, but did not answer, probably because she thought it was inappropriate. Chen Xing realized that he might have asked a stupid question, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm presumptuous." ”

"It's okay." The clerkess said with a smile.

Leaving the noble hall, Chen Xing did not go to the butler center, but looked up nearby hotels on the Internet. It seems that the matter of the territory is not so easy to solve, so it is better to settle down first.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage sent Chen Xing and the others to the hotel. A well-dressed waiter came up and opened the door, leading everyone into the hotel lobby.

As far as the eye can see, the walls of the hotel are full of lifelike animal heads, mostly elk, but also bears and lions. Above the specimen hang a variety of shotguns, old and exquisitely crafted. There are timbers in the corners, and various knives hang on the fireplace, giving it the feel of a hunter's hut in the woods.

"Welcome to the Deer Hunter Hotel, my honorable lord, please allow me to serve you."

The hall manager stepped forward to receive him.

"What room do you have?" Chen Xing asked.

"We have a junior suite, one master room, three guest rooms, five servant rooms, and a separate kitchen, and the price is twenty-two gold coins a day; The manor suite, with one master room, five guest rooms, eleven servant rooms, has a separate kitchen, a sky garden and a steam room, and the price is thirty-nine gold coins a day; The Governor's Suite, one master room, nine guest rooms, seventeen servants' rooms, and ......"

Chen Xing didn't bring many people here, so he asked for a manor suite. Although he has money, he can't spend it indiscriminately, and he just talks about pomp and circumstance and doesn't talk about actual nouveau riche.

"My lord, I want to find an old friend."

After settling down, Lao Ji asked Chen Xing for leave, and Chen Xing naturally would not disagree.

After a while, Lao Ji changed into a black dress, left the hotel, and walked in the direction he remembered......
