Chapter 80 The Night Emperor Capital, the Night Emperor Capital, You Are a City That Never Sleeps! The lights are up, the cars are ringing, and the songs and dances are leveling!
Pulling out a lot of informal lace news from Tria's mouth, and after eating a little, Wren hurried away. Tria was very satisfied, and although Wren did not explicitly state that he needed a dogleg, the tone and attitude that flowed out of his words let Tria know that he had been initially accepted.www.biquge.info He is so happy that he will fly, maybe he will become the second person in his family to have a knighthood besides his father, and those who do not value themselves and are not so friendly to themselves may cry?
When she returned home, Celeste had not yet returned, and she was out playing with Twright's wife. Aristocrats and wealthy merchants from all over the empire gathered in this metropolis, which made the city very congested during this time, and also brought some very distinctive things and programs.
Back in the study and sitting down, Wren began to think about the question of why Grace introduced a sissy to Pars, and whether there was anything unknown in it. He has to think so, because he lives in a big net woven by the entanglement of countless interests, no matter what kind of thing, it must be speculated from the perspective of interests, and behind everything there is often the collusion of interests of multiple parties. And deep down, he always felt that something was not quite right about this matter.
It's a pity that I didn't get an accurate answer after thinking about it for a long time, maybe it was simply because Pars's heroism made it difficult for her to choose a lover and a husband, so Grace gave Pars a plaything.
Many people already know the news of Wren's return, after all, there are people staring at the palace gate every day, and Wren is not hiding, he enters in brightly, and comes out in a bright light, and immediately let the people who are guarding there find him and send the news back.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, someone had already come to visit.
The Marquis of the Rhine, the governor of Na Wu Lechen, and a staunch royalist, was forty-six years old, with slightly curly brown hair, a white face, very thick and straight eyebrows, and no small glasses, and the most impressive thing was his hooked nose.
Wide, long, pointed!
It always gives people the illusion that "this guy must be a bad guy with a dark heart".
The Marquis of Rhine and Wren's father had a good relationship, and the two were playmates since childhood, and they were together throughout childhood and adolescence. As an adult, Rhine showed great political sense and skill, and was appointed by the old emperor as the governor of the province of Nawulechen, a position he holds to this day.
Na Wu Lechen is the largest granary of the empire, as long as Na Wu Lechen has a good harvest, the empire does not need to worry about a possible famine. At the same time, Wu Lechen is also a big taxpayer, there are not too many nobles in this province, almost the entire province's taxes are in the hands of the royal family, and every year a rich tax is enough to make the royal family smile. In addition to the unique advantages of Wu Lechen itself in terms of resources, it is also related to the political execution of the Rhine.
When he took office, he lowered agricultural taxes, leaving some civilians who had oscillated between farming and business ultimately choosing the safest option. In addition, he also intensified the crackdown on bandits and bandits, and set a uniform price for grain protection, which promoted the agricultural prosperity of Nawu Lechen as much as possible. For the few small nobles in the province, he pulled a group to fight a group, and his ruthless methods made those small nobles miserable, but he didn't break his muscles and bones, so he could only compromise under his silver might. (The **** yin couldn't be typed, so I had to replace it with silver.) )
Under the rule of the Rhine, the entire Nawu Lechen was stable, and the royal family continued to reward him, allowing him to climb to the position of marquis.
Of course, compared to this brilliant governor, Wren's father is simply a failure that cannot be described in words.
"I wanted to come to you yesterday, but I know you're going to be busy. Rhine was very familiar, without the restraint and strangeness of facing the golden aristocracy, he used to come here often before Raynes's father kicked his legs, drinking and bragging with Raynes's father and discussing women, "How's it going, how are you doing in Oltlenburg, is there anything you need my help with?"
Wren thought for a moment and said, "There is no shortage of money for the time being, I need some talents." ”
"Talent?", Rhine laughed lightly, a little proud, "I don't lack this, what kind of talent do you want? management type or force type?"
"Magician, do you have that?"
Rhine's smug smile suddenly froze, and he touched his long nose, "Hell, I don't have a magician myself. ”
The magician, in Wren's memory, should be the kind of strong man who can call the wind and rain and throw mountains and reclaim the sea. But the reality is cruel, magicians do have some so-called mana, insignificant mana. Whether it was a fireball or an ice hockey, it was insignificant in the face of the army of spellbreakers, and over time, the magicians took a different path - to study the truth of the magic circle and the world. They made a lot of useful props and studied many special magic arrays, which made people's lives easier.
Most of these magicians stay at home in the Imperial Research Institute, and nearly half of the students who graduate from the Imperial Capital Higher Academy every year, about a dozen or twenty of them, join the Academy as magic apprentices and embark on the path of research. Of course, there are also some magicians who are not satisfied with the status quo, and use some of their abilities to cheat food, drink, money, and sex, which also makes them prosperous. But no matter what, magicians will always be a scarce type of talent.
Wren has heard in the past two days that the Imperial Research Institute has cracked the mystery of sound and has developed a magical device that can talk over long distances. This magic device resonates from a distance through a large magic array, restoring sound through the principle of vibration. Of course, I heard that this kind of equipment is not very perfect, the sound is not full, it is often distorted, and sometimes there are wrong syllables. Even so, it is a huge breakthrough, which means that the transmission of long-distance messages will become more and more convenient and convenient.
The key reason why Wren needs a mage is that he needs a mage who can work for himself and provide a permanent magic circle to promote the development of some simple sciences.
"And what about the alchemist?"
Rhine felt that he had picked the wrong topic, and he rolled his eyes, "Let's change the subject, when are you going to get married." ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, at least during my tenure in Ortlenburg, I won't think about it. Wren's answer was very formal, "Only after I return to the imperial capital will I consider whether I should get married." You know, marriages for people like us are often the product of various interest transactions, and I can't sell them for a good price right now, so I think I should wait a little longer, until the day when I'm worth it. ”
Rhine couldn't help but sigh lightly, "I once discussed with your father to marry my daughter to you, and now I think about it, it was also wishful thinking at the beginning. There are so many problems with you people that my daughter may not be blessed to follow you, and you may not be willing to accept such an arrangement. ”
Both of them knew in their hearts that the Divine Bloodline was something that the Golden Nobles talked about every day, and they would always only marry people with the same bloodline, so that the bloodlines of their descendants would be pure and unpolluted. If it was before, Wren might not care, but the fact that he saw the old emperor today, and everything that happened after him, made him change his mind, he would definitely marry a woman of pure blood, whether it was for himself or his offspring.
"There's a banquet in the evening, do you want to come?"
Wren shook his head, there were banquets going on almost every moment during this time, but he was not in the mood and did not have time. He needs to prepare for tomorrow's coronation ceremony, as well as a trip to the secret cave the day after tomorrow.
Rhine looked a little depressed, he came here to invite Ren to the banquet, and it was of great benefit to Rhine in the aristocratic circle that he could invite a big man like a golden nobleman to the banquet. Let some people have a deep understanding of his abilities, so as to reduce the occurrence of contradictions and conflicts. In addition, it is not without the meaning of letting Wren relax, he was thrown to a place like Ortlenburg at a young age, and after going through so much, he should also relax.
Rhine was a very simple person, since Wren was unwilling to go, he did not force it, and after repeatedly telling Wren to go to him if he was in trouble, he left in a hurry.
After that, many people asked to see him, and Wren asked the old butler to block all the drivers, and none of the big people were seen, and he went into the study alone.
He kept flipping through some books about the family, about the bloodline, hoping to find some hints in them.
Before I knew it, I sank into the sea of books, forgetting time and space.
Until Celeste returns.
The little girl had been playing outside for a long day, and she was so excited that she told Wren everything she had seen today. What becomes a rabbit empty-handed, what throwing knife stunts, like fire-breathing and the like have long been rotten on the street. In addition to playing, there is also eating, all kinds of food made Celeste finally let go of his reserve, tasted enough, his little belly was up, bulging, and very cute.
It seemed that she was a little embarrassed by Wren's gaze, and the little girl ran away in shame, leaving only Wren alone.
After sitting alone for a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched, and fell on the bed after freshening up.
Whether he's good or bad, let's talk about it then!
The room gradually remembered the sound of snoring, and outside the window, it was the imperial capital that never sleeped.
A night of hustle and bustle!
