Chapter 32: The Eve of the Banquet

"My lord, there's another letter here. ”

"Take it. ”

When I opened the envelope, the most gorgeous thing was the letter in my hand, and the wax was actually inlaid with a ruby, and the luxurious atmosphere came to my nose.

"Stinky nouveau riche. Having said that, Lei Zhe still tried his best to detain the gem, and this thing might be able to sell for a good price.

After seeing the content of the letter, Lei Zhe's face stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little, the content of the letter was very simple, roughly speaking, this puppet show toy was an unwanted item for his son to play, because it was "hard-won", so he thought of giving it to Lei Zhe.

The humiliation is very obvious, of course, Lei Zhe will not be angry because of such a trivial matter, but what makes him helpless is that judging from the letters, this thing is not worth much.

Thanks to the efforts of the servants, the things were quickly assembled, and the six puppets were placed on a stage, which was indeed quite delicate if it was exquisite, and Erin and Eiffel looked at the new toy with interest.

"What are you doing here?"

"My lord, you need to add the right amount of water to it, and then you need to burn coals to make the puppets on it move. The servant stepped forward and explained.

"Water, coal?" Although he was a little puzzled, Lei Zhe didn't understand anything, and motioned for the servant to continue fiddling.

"Wow, it's moving! it's amazing!" said Erin, who almost jumped forward and did it, and the six puppets on it changed their faces and acted, although it was a silent pantomime, but the way it didn't rely on any human activity was enough to be amazing, it was like magic.

"Water, coal, power, blah! How is this thing so familiar? With a face full of surprise, Lei Zhe ran directly to the puppet stage under the curious eyes of everyone, looking at the servants who continued to raise the temperature by adding fire to the back.

Water vapor, power, flame.

"Steam engine, I'll rub it, it's impossible......" Lei Zhe was embarrassed, but he already had the answer in his heart, what else does this unique mode of operation have besides the steam engine?

"Adolf, go at once, Robiel called. ”

"Yes. ”

"By the way, call his son. ”

Under the leadership of Adolf, Robier and Valker carefully entered the manor, even if it was not the first time they had been here, but Robbier was still a little nervous.

But Valker was different, knowing Lei Zhe's temperament, he looked at the internal environment of the manor with a smile on his face.

"My lord, people have brought it. ”

"Lord Earl. ”

"No, do you know this thing?" Lei Zhe pointed to the separate steam engine that had been removed from the ground.

Looking at the scrap iron on the ground, Robier was stunned, squatted on the ground and studied it carefully.

After a long time, Robier got up and shook his head at Lei Zhe and said, "My lord, I have never seen this thing, and the craftsmanship of the person who made this thing is above mine." ”

"I don't know. ”

"Lord Earl, I know where this thing comes from. ”

"Nonsense, Valk, don't talk nonsense in front of Lord Earl. Robier glared at his son.

"Tell me, where did this thing come from?"

"My lord, this mark is the exclusive mark of the goblin, and this thing should be the work of the goblin. ”

"Goblins?"

Looking at the location that Valk was pointing, there was indeed a special mark, like a grass.

"Goblins are very proficient in crafting special items. ”

"Have you ever seen a goblin?"

"No, no, I listened to Uncle Arteme. Valk scratched his head.

"Art?"

"Well, Uncle Arteme used to be a miner slave in other lords, and he had seen the goblin tribe in the mountains at that time, and he had dealt with goblins. ”

"Where are the others now. ”

"My lord, Uncle Arte died in a mine accident a month ago. At the mention of this, Valker's eyes darkened.

"yes, that's a shame. Lei Zhe didn't want to continue this topic, it's normal to have elves and kobolds and a goblin, and the colorful species are originally one of the characteristics of the Hill Continent.

"Let's take this back to the Craftsman's Department first, and if you're interested, you and Valker can study it. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The discovery of the steam engine was indeed a great discovery, after all, this thing is an item that can move the times forward, but it is a pity that there is no craftsman who can understand the principle of this item.

Although he had studied physics, Lei Zhe only knew the general principle of the steam engine, and he thought that he did not have the ability to make a steam engine or a mechanical tool with the steam engine as the core.

As the time of the banquet approached, the nearest Rost was obviously lively, and the minotaurs shuttling through the streets and alleys formed a special scene.

After a period of contact, the civilians also accepted the existence of the Minotaur, after all, in addition to the appearance of the honest Minotaur makes people feel terrifying, the personality is still very docile.

In the last two days of the feast, one of the protagonists that Riecher was waiting for, Count Jarfred, also arrived in the city of Rost.

Roswal had just been driven away in front of him, and all the nobles had become low-key, and this Count of Alfred was obviously no exception, and he thought that Lei Zhe would not come out to greet him, but when he saw the cavalry set up at the city gate, Alfred couldn't help but smile even if he was far away.

What is it?

This is face, Lei Zhe did not give face to another earl, but gave him face, which made him very comfortable and happy.

As the carriage approached, Alfred got out of the carriage.

"Is that the Count of Razelle?" Everred smiled as he walked towards Count Razelle with his beautiful lady in his arms.

"Dear Lord Reich, I am glad that the first person I met in Rost was you. ”

"Haha, I'm glad to meet you, Your Excellency Count Earl Fried. Lei Zhe smiled slightly, Alfred's age looks less than fifty years old, unlike Lei Zhe, Alfred is not a hereditary earl, but an earl rewarded by the king now, belonging to the powerful faction.

He is also the most powerful earl of the county of Camnus.

"Presumably, Lord Alfred and Mrs. Alfred are tired from such a long journey, and I have prepared Roster's delicacies for both of you at Wells Manor, so let's go now. ”

"Okay. Alfret smiled slightly, although the age was far from Lei Zhe, but Alfrede did not underestimate Lei Zhe's thoughts at all, from weakening taxes to accepting foreign races, Lei Zhe's reputation had already spread.

These two actions are both acts of death, and there are only two evaluations of Lei Zhe's behavior outside, stupid to death, with deep meaning, but no matter which one makes Lei Zhe special.
