Chapter 507
In fact, the reason why the king of Fairmont issued such a decree was also a last resort, during this time, in order to deal with the affairs of the eastern Belize plain, the king of Harto and the nobles and important ministers held a small meeting almost every three days, and a general meeting every five days, and God knows how many brain cells died.
But in the end, he couldn't come up with any effective solution, so the king had to summon the cardinal of the Supreme Church to understand the above attitude, after all, the Grim Reaper and his army are always found by the Supreme Three Gods, and the church must come forward if there is a problem now, right?
Unexpectedly, it was Lord Felix who took the initiative to come to the door, the Holy Spirit priest who was in charge of the entire Fairmont diocese, but the king was completely shocked as soon as he opened his mouth, and he actually told the king that in the future, the entire eastern Belize Plain would belong to the territory of the god of death......
The Grim Reaper also wants territory? Isn't the kingdom of heaven of the gods outside the realm of the Lord? Don't gods have their own kingdom?
King Harto almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, you must know that this is close to one-tenth of the country, and considering the abundant resources and superior geographical characteristics there, the chance is equal to one-seventh of the kingdom, so this young and powerful king really wants to cry without tears.
It's just that no matter how helpless it is, what can it do? The three supreme gods have already reached an agreement with the god of death, does he, a mortal, dare to jump out in protest? Is there any other way he can get the territory back from the Grim Reaper?
Afterwards, King Harto locked himself in his room and roared all night......
The next day, the king, who had finally adjusted his mentality, found a tricky thing that gave him a headache, how should he explain it to the nobles?
According to Pastor Felix's relay, the Supreme Three Gods have strictly ordered this matter not to be disseminated, but if the truth is not told, how can the red-eyed nobles under his command be willing to give up?
If the big piece of cake is let go for no reason, even if he is the king, he can't hold it down!
So, after much contemplation, this decree was born, don't you want land? Okay, it's all for you, whoever has the ability to take it himself, in case someone who is really lucky appears, anyway, in the end, you still have to be loyal to me, you are still a part of the Fairmont Kingdom, and you have to pay taxes.
And although this decree also made some nobles feel dissatisfied, they originally planned to rely on the power of the royal family to reap the benefits, but in the end they were drowned out in cheers, and many families who received the news had begun to reorganize their military forces, and seemed to be ready to take the best territory first.
Although there is a mighty army of the Grim Reaper, what is it in the face of greed?
Many people have the same idea in their hearts, anyway, these places were originally Fairmont's territory, and it is a matter of course for them to take it back, although the god of death is powerful, but the Supreme Three Gods must be better, he dares to bully those demon believers at will, but he does not necessarily dare to touch his own people......
The two gorgeous carriages driven by the house beasts slowly stopped at the gate, retracting the arm that was being held by the girl, Xia Dong strolled out of the car, and smiled at the Pearl couple who were sitting in the courtyard chatting, to his surprise, the old Pearl who had been ignoring him all this time actually nodded slightly in response.
It seems that the uncle's anger has finally subsided, thinking like this, Xia Dong took the initiative to step forward and sat down opposite the two, "What are the uncles and aunts talking about so happy?" ”
Unlike her husband, who dared to quarrel with him, Rui Qiu's mother was still in a state of cringe when facing Xia Dong so far, and when she heard his question, she hurriedly stammered and replied honestly: "We are talking about when we can go back to see those neighbors and friends." ”
Kindness? Xia Dong was stunned suddenly, and then he reacted, in the past few months, the couple seemed to be bored in the room every day, at most they were sitting in the front and back gardens, and they didn't think much about it before, they just thought that they were ashamed of themselves in the face of the nobles around them, so they didn't want to go out, and now it seems that there should be other problems.
Xia Dong looked at the two people opposite him carefully, and found that their faces were actually mixed with faint longing and gloomy expressions.
Touching his chin, he sat up straight, and said very seriously: "Uncle and aunt, I don't know what you think of me, but in my heart, you are my elders, I took you here to make you happy, it is definitely not house arrest, you can arrange your life at will, if you feel that you are not used to living with me, I can also help you buy a house and let you live alone." ”
"No, no, we have a good stay here, don't waste any more money." Pearl and his wife hurriedly refused, joking, how much does this house cost, and how much do you have to buy? Where can they afford it?
Looking at their performance, Xia Dong really felt helpless in his heart, he didn't expect it to be such a difficult thing to make people happy, the innocent Minaya was better, and the Pearl couple really didn't know what to do.
After chatting boringly, Minaya, who had taken a shower and changed into new clothes, came out, and the few of them had dinner together, during which they found that the Pearl couple was restrained and uncomfortable, and Xia Dong had to admit that everyone was better separated as before.
After a little rest after dinner, Xia Dong hurried to the Grand Theater of the aristocratic district with the girl, where there will be a performance of the Dream Dance tonight, it is said that this woman is the top talent in the entire continent, and she is unique in opera, music, and poetry, and will only perform three times a year, even if it is the Qingfeng Festival, the biggest festival in the Fairmont Kingdom, not every time you can invite each other.
Therefore, tonight's performance is definitely hard to find, the price of the three Golden Emperors is not a problem at all, if you don't have a certain identity, you don't even have the qualifications to buy tickets, of course, this is not difficult for Xia Dong and the others, he didn't even worry about it, Minaya directly got two VIP tickets as a disciple of Azure Dream.
Therefore, it is still very useful to have a good master!
The carriage slowly drove into the flat and lively square, a radius of several hundred meters that was already filled with all kinds of carriages, on which almost all the family crests of the kingdom could be found.
Pushing the car door, Xia Dong, who didn't care about etiquette, stepped out of the carriage, different from the strict requirements for girls, but how comfortable he was, for example, normal aristocrats would never open the door by themselves, and they had to be helped by the coachman, but he didn't bother to pretend like this.
Looking up at the tall golden building in front of him, and the domes were about six or seven stories high, the two rows of arches at the door were brightly lit by all kinds of magical light, like a modern theater on earth.
The well-dressed Minaya has come over elegantly and dignified at this time, she is wearing a black high-necked evening dress at night, and her already grown figure is matched with the clothes customized by the famous craftsman, which finally allows her to show her charming side of a woman, although maybe the sex appeal is still lacking, but the feeling of purity as water is enough to impress most people.
With a quiet smile on her face, the girl naturally reached out to hold Xia Dong, and then walked towards the gate together, I have to say that the effect of her training in the past few months has been very good, and the series of actions from getting off the car to the present is extremely temperamental, so that others absolutely can't believe that she still lived in Lianghe District a few months ago.
Seeing the two approaching, the attendant standing at the door hurriedly bent down respectfully, "My lord, please give me your invitation." "The invitation is the name of the ticket.
With a flip of his palm, Xia Dong handed the two gilded red stickers to the other party, and after carefully checking them, the young man in a small white suit bowed again, "Please wait in the hall for a while, His Majesty the King is coming." ”
Frowning slightly, Xia Dong was about to ask, but Minaya, who had been paying attention to him, hurriedly and gently explained in his ear: "Brother, in an activity like this, everyone must wait until His Majesty participates in the field to show respect. "Her etiquette lessons are not for nothing, and this basic common sense is certainly clear.
After understanding, Xia Dong shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Then wait." "Since it's something that everyone agrees on, there's no need to be different.
"Senior sister." The two had barely taken a few steps when Ulysses' voice suddenly came from behind.
Turning around, a young man who was also dressed up was approaching with a beautiful girl, Minaya first smiled at his female companion, and then looked at his junior brother, "Yuli, you are very handsome today, don't you want to introduce this young lady?" ”
With a slightly shy smile, Ulysses looked at the beautiful woman beside him, "This is my classmate, Evelyn." ”
Minaya suddenly showed a gentle expression and took the initiative to introduce herself: "Hi, Miss Evelyn, I'm Minaya, Yuli's senior sister, you are so beautiful. ”
"Miss Minaya is too award-winning, you are truly beautiful." Evelyn didn't know where she came from, after all, as the protagonist of Meswall's legendary story in recent times, Minaya can be described as a household name.
However, from Evelyn's heart, there was a natural disdain for this kind of wild girl who had just crawled out of the mud ditch in the Lianghe District, so she immediately changed the topic, looked at the bored Xia Dong next to her, and asked curiously: "May I ask who this gentleman is?" ”
"This is my brother, Sharton." Finding that Xia Dong didn't mean to reply, Minaya took the initiative to introduce again.
Evelyn, who had already guessed, suddenly showed a surprised expression, "Ah, it turns out that you are Lord Chardon, I heard that you and Lord Count Jarria are friends, I don't know ......"
"Your Majesty has arrived!" The shouts filled the hall, and the aristocratic men and women who were gathered in twos and threes immediately stopped talking, and consciously lined up on the left and right sides according to their status.
Watching Ulysses and Evelyn walk briskly towards the back of the group, Xia Dong looked at Minaya, who was not moving beside him, questioningly, "Where should we stand?" ”
This question suddenly made the girl stagnate, and she replied a little confused: "Originally, this should be ranked according to the rank and status, but I don't know where you should stand, Brother Lu Dao." "If it were just her, she would have to stand in the back, for she was a humble lord at best.
But what about Xia Dong? Although his identity is extremely mysterious, it can't be too low to be so respected by his master, right? In addition, the girl was unwilling to wronged her brother, so she naturally fell into a tangle.
