One thousand Golden Emperors didn't sound like much, after all, Xia Dong had spent eight hundred Golden Emperors when he bought this villa, but that was the price of all the art collections inside.

What is the concept of the actual 1,000 Golden Emperors?

If you have a noble status, you can buy a small estate including 200 acres of fertile land; Or you can buy ten sets of ritual materials to activate divinity; It can also make hundreds of civilians worry about food and clothing for a lifetime; You can even hire forty Dale Sword and Shield mercenaries to work for you for a few months......

Such a large amount of money, even in the Duke's mansion, can run for several years if nothing happens, and with the current cost of Xia Dong's mansion, Raymore estimates that it can last for at least fifteen years.

So when Xia Dong took out this money casually, Rao is Ray Moore was also a little frightened when he had been a noble housekeeper for so many years, and his first reaction was where to hide such a large amount of money, unlike the earth, there is no bank in this world, and this money is enough for too many people to sacrifice their lives to break the taboo.

As for the idea of going up and down, he didn't have it at all, or he didn't dare to have it, because he knew very well what kind of price he would pay for deceiving a character like Xia Dong, he couldn't afford that kind of price, and he wouldn't let him bear it alone, but the whole family would suffer.

Before he could slowly calm down, Xia Dong suddenly thought of one more thing, "By the way, you go find a scholar to come back and teach Minaya to read." "At the beginning, Rui Qiu had shown envy for those nobles who could write more than once, since she had the conditions now, how could she make her sister have regrets?

"Master, perhaps you may consider letting Miss Minaya enter the Academy of Light, where you can not only learn words, arts, and knowledge, but also have aristocratic etiquette, martial arts, or magic training, and you can also make many friends." Ray Moore thought for a moment and put forward his own suggestion, he had already seen that Xia Dong wanted to give Minaya's family the best thing, although he didn't know what the reason was.

Kindness? It turns out that Fairmont still has this kind of place?

Xia Dong was immediately interested, "Well, that's right, then I'll sign up for Minaya, but are there any restrictions on entering that academy?" Will it make a difference if Minaya didn't have a foundation before? Is it on-call or is there a flat enrollment time? ”

"The academy can be admitted at any time, Miss Minaya can study first with the junior class, as for the restrictions, anyone can enter as long as they can pay the tuition, and as a lord, you can definitely let the young lady enter the noble class." Raymore was confident in his words, and although he didn't know what the gold badge meant, it was definitely telling the truth that the sheriff could treat it with such caution.

Taking a sip of tea, Xia Dong still shook his head, "Don't worry, you go find a few better maids to come back, and then find an etiquette teacher, well, the scholars also invite two to come back, first take some time to lay a solid foundation for Minaya before entering that academy." ”

In a state full of pauperan atmosphere like Minaya's now, don't be bullied to death if you throw it directly into a place full of nobles? Even if there is no bullying, she will definitely be faintly ostracized, and it just so happens that she is now the most sensitive girlhood, what if she leaves any psychological shadow?

Thinking of this, Old Pearl's cowering and cowardly appearance suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and his voice suddenly became a little louder, "One month, I want you to make Minaya a qualified one month at any cost...... Princess, all words and deeds must be qualified. ”

Speaking of this, he found that Raymore's face was very embarrassed and silent, and he had to change his words after thinking about it: "Okay, then at least you have to look like a dignified noble lady." ”

"As you wish."

Raymore's ability is indeed quite good, or the power of money is indeed strong, and the day after receiving the instruction, the originally somewhat lonely villa welcomed many new residents.

Because he fully understood Xia Dong's meaning, Lei Moore did not mean to be careful at all, and directly arranged it according to the standard configuration of the Marquis's Mansion, and directly filled the row of servants' rooms in the backyard.

There are two pastry chefs, four strong male servants, nine beautiful and lovely maids, five empathetic personal maids, eight guards in full armor, two honest coachmen, and those who are responsible for raising pets and making clothes, and so on.

In the face of this sudden change, both the Pearl couple and Minaya were a little unacceptable, they had already felt like they had jumped from hell to heaven when they moved here from the Lianghe District, but now they were even more frightened and uneasy when they moved here from the Lianghe District, and even made a lot of jokes.

For example, in the matter of personal maids, the poor Pearl family was tossed enough, after all, it is no less difficult to let them who have served others for most of their lives even have to be served by others to dress and wash than to let a pampered nobleman serve others.

Fortunately, with Xia Dong's severe pressure, it was difficult for them to start changing, from the habit of letting people help change clothes, to helping with bathing, and finally being able to go to the toilet accompanied by a personal maid, it took nearly a month.

Minaya was much more painful than her parents, and Raymore did not know where she had brought in two court etiquette advisers, two middle-aged women who were more like noblewomen than servants, and who followed the girl almost twenty-four hours a day, correcting her every move, from talking to eating, from sitting to walking and even sleeping and repeating her instructions.

So during this period of time, although the food was extremely delicate and luxurious, the girl's family still lost weight visibly, and although Xia Dong was apologetic in his heart, he resolutely refused to relax.

The distant fortress, once the undying city of the Fairmont Kingdom, is now owned by Calest.

At this time, both on the city walls and in the fortress, there was a surge of people, and a large number of heavily armed and experienced soldiers were running back and forth, constantly reinforcing the city defenses, or transporting the materials to the designated place.

The entire eastern plain of Belize was abandoned by Miranda's order, and all the military forces were reduced to this place, not only that, but the elite of Calest's country was still being assembled, and the magic masters, magicians, alchemy weapons and various supplies were sent to this place like a stream.

Although the Kingdom of Philiskenyan did not send troops to fight, in order to take care of the face of the King of Magic, they still sent a huge amount of supplies through a huge sea fleet.

If someone had told the Calestrians two years ago that they would one day rely on a distant fortress to defend it, they probably wouldn't have believed it, but the truth will always be so cruel.

Although with the strength and defense of the current distant fortress, it is estimated that even a few members of the Holy Alliance may not be able to capture it, but the problem is that their enemies are even more inhuman.

In the face of that terrifying undead army, even Princess Miranda didn't know if she could hold it, so she kept urging her subordinates to strengthen various arrangements every day, and constantly asked for reinforcements from home.

Unlike those nobles in the country who are far away from the battlefield, she knows the inside story very well, once the distant fortress is lost, she is afraid that the other party will wreak havoc on most of Calest, unless the Divine Cry Fortress in the middle of the kingdom can be able to block the other party again.

But how much would the kingdom suffer in that case? It's unimaginable!

Everywhere those monsters went, there were no chickens and dogs left, only a barren and dead land, and the places they occupied were basically lost forever.

So be sure to hold on!

Secretly cheering herself on in her heart, her hand unconsciously stroked the amulet on her chest, which was the lucky charm that Byron had given her, and the latter had been forcibly sent back to Callas, a place that was absolutely safe because of the presence of the King of Magic.

The original melodious and quaint sound of the horn of "Woo ......" is now discolored, because it represents the prelude to destruction.

The atmosphere of the entire fortress changed drastically, countless soldiers stopped what they were doing, and invariably turned their heads to look into the distance, many people's throats moved lightly, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, whether it was personal experience or ear and eye, the people here knew very well what they were about to face.

Although the entire distant fortress was designed to deal with Calester in the east, in fact, the defense in the west was not weak, after all, in addition to the cableway, there was a cliff, and the difficulty of the attack was only higher than that of the front, so the target of Flora and the others still went around to the east.

"Roar!" The roar of the neat and ferocious calendar came from the sky, and countless black dots descended from the clouds, gathering in the distance and circling and dancing as if in a demonstration.

On the ground, black lines appeared in everyone's field of vision, and as the other party slowly advanced, it seemed that even the ground was shaking slightly.

Drawing her long sword, Princess Miranda, who was standing on the platform on the fourth floor, shouted, "Prepare for battle, all units enter the predetermined positions!" ”

Suddenly, the rapid adjustment began within the huge fortress, the first sequence went into a defensive position, the second sequence was on standby in the rear, the third sequence returned to the barracks and waited, the fourth sequence began to eat, and the fifth sequence began to sleep......

The reason for this arrangement is because he knows the tireless nature of the other party, and he must know that Osbaru broke through after being attacked by the other party for three days and two nights in a row, and that was also the first defeat in Miranda's life.

......After another trumpet, the huge military formation stopped in front of the distant fortress, and hundreds of thousands of undead creatures finally appeared clearly in the eyes of the defenders.

Flora, who was covered in armor and red as blood, drove her mount forward a few steps, and her long hair flew in the wind without a helmet, and she showed a strange beauty with the strong and compelling aura around her.

Looking at the huge fortress in front of her, her voice that seemed to contain endless anger sounded in a low voice: "It will be very difficult to take this fortress, why don't we take action." ”

"No, we must not make a move, do you want to provoke all their demigods?" The strange rebuttal that seemed to pierce the soul came from Lytia next to her, who seemed to be an angel and a devil in a bewitching sacrificial robe.

Behind the least, her whole body was covered with frost condensed armor, and Cynthia, who was holding a black horn, ignored their conversation and directly blew the order to attack!
