Chapter 251
The venomous snake never needs to bite any of its prey, it just needs to be able to inject venom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Language has never been harmful. Language cannot be turned into iron, lightning or fist, but it has an effect that cannot be achieved by any physical means, penetrating and decaying from the inside out.
Bethel is definitely not the first to encounter such a situation, and it is certainly not the last.
The sign of the Imperial Ministry of National Security in Orlando was silent, but there was thunder in the silence. As an imperial system, power cannot be concentrated in the hands of one person, which means that either the emperor walks down the stage, or all the power is in his pocket, and it is possible to stop the endless dumping. Every move must be carefully interpreted, not to care about excessive interpretation, but to care about not deep enough interpretation.
Many people will stay up all night.
This does not include Rennes.
By the time he returned home, Voncos had taken the place of the old butler and became the only steward in the manor, and the butler's grandfather had also returned to the country. He walked very decisively, did not drag mud and water, did not hold Wren's hand with tears to talk about his reluctance, and did not want to remember all the hard work he had had. He walked extremely resolutely, which made Wren have a trace of concern for the housekeeper grandfather.
"Send a hundred gold coins over, and send a little little thing, don't be too valuable, let him choose the right heir from his family to come to the imperial capital. The old butler has dedicated his life to the Arcanian family, and I should do something for him, even if he doesn't say it. After all, Wren is still humane, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, he is actually no different from most ordinary people.
Funkos immediately remembered that the old butler's today is his tomorrow. Of course, he hopes to have a good home, not to be "abandoned" by the years as a burden to the family after a few years, even if he has no regrets about his life. As for why you don't give away things that are too valuable, firstly, you are afraid that some people will worry about these things, and secondly, in order to avoid "unbearable heirs" from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
Wren took off his top hat and shawl, and the weather gradually cooled, and the imperial capital was located in the north of Orlando, and the weather cooled much faster than in Ortrenburg. The formal clothes on the body are also slightly bulky, and the nobles like to make warm vests out of the fur from the belly of a giant beast on the Arctic Ice Field, which is definitely a little more cumbersome to wear than summer clothes. He took off his coat, leaving only a dark blue vest and shirt, and Wren also unbuttoned his cufflinks and collar, as well as some small jewelry on the flower collar to decorate.
He's not a guy who likes to dress himself up, but living in this world, you have to obey certain rules. When all the aristocrats dress themselves up like noble clowns, independent and special behavior will not bring positive comments to themselves, but can only make people point fingers behind their backs, and be regarded as uneducated. Standing out from the crowd does not necessarily make you more noble, and it is also possible to make yourself out of place and an ugly representative in the eyes of others.
These expensive trinkets were placed on the crimson upholstery in Fontos's hand, and they looked inconspicuous, each of which cost a dozen or dozens of gold coins.
"Seven nobles have sent invitations today inviting you to the ball they are hosting. Eleven nobles have sent greetings, hoping to meet you alone. The corners of Phonkos's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled and lowered his head slightly, "There is one more thing, I think you will be very happy after listening to it." ”
"Oh?", Wren untied his collar and threw it on the tray, his eyebrows raised, and his black and white eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, "What's the matter?"
Funkos laughed, "Miss Celeste has arrived in the Imperial Capital, and she is waiting for you in the restaurant. Speaking of Celeste, these people who came from Ortlenburg with Wren were very fond of this little princess. The word princess is not out of the rules, the golden aristocracy is unspeakably expensive, comparable to the prince, the little girl favored by the prince, she is the princess.
Wren also unconsciously put on a smile, he shook his shoulders, the day's work made him a little tired, "Maybe you should go and find a good physiotherapist to come, the pace of life and work here is much more intense than in Ortlenburg, I feel that my muscles are about to stiffen." ”
Keeping this in mind, Phonkos took a step back and let Wren go first. He properly sorted out the little things in the tray and put them in the dressing room next to the entrance, and Wren always liked to wear these little things when he went out.
Before entering the restaurant, I heard the characteristic sound of Celeste, crisp and clean. Wren's pace was a little faster than ever, and he walked through the door of the restaurant and immediately laughed, "I'm still wondering why my Celeste hasn't come yet, it's a surprise." He pursed his lips, but his smile could not be suppressed, and Celeste, who was sitting on the side of the table, was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran over and threw himself into Wren's arms.
The little girl's hair was as smooth as ever, and she wore a Holy Empire-style dress with fluffy lace trims, black and white being the only shades, making the little girl look a little more mature. In fact, strictly speaking, Wren and Celeste have only been separated for less than a month, but both Wren and Celeste feel that this time is too long. It has nothing to do with lust, some feelings are beings that transcend all desires.
Holding Celeste tightly, sniffing the natural girlish fragrance in her hair, Wren was in a good mood, and the fatigue of the day was empty. He patted the little girl on the back lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't let go of Funkos again, I'm going to laugh at you." ”
Phonkos, who had just entered the restaurant, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "If this is your request, then I can reluctantly laugh at Miss Celeste." ”
Celeste immediately pushed Funkos away, staring at the guy behind Wren with big round eyes, she wanted to be fierce, but it always gave people a cute feeling. At this time, seeing the person he wanted to see the most and the person he knew most was around him, Celeste's mood seemed to fly. She didn't have a strained and seemingly serious expression, she laughed out loud, and quickly covered her mouth again, blushing with shame. She hurriedly lifted the corner of her skirt and curtsied, sweetly shouted "Brother Wren", and then hummed a little song to hold Wren's arm, and did not forget to snort at Voncos.
What a lovely little girl!
Of course, she also has her mature and surprising side.
Sitting down at the table, the chef began to serve the food continuously. The eating habits of this world are similar to those of the Western countries on the planet, people think that they should eat meat and be full for breakfast, and they can mess around casually for lunch, but dinner must be hearty. This may have something to do with the fact that balls, banquets, and more social events are held in the evenings, or it could be that after a long day's work, you need a warm and comfortable bed and a filled stomach to get a better rest.
Two people, a total of eleven dishes, most of which will eventually be discarded, but in this place, no one cares whether it is wasted or not, they only care about whether today's dishes can satisfy the master.
"Tell me about the situation in Ortlenburg, I know everything in general, but there are always some things that are missing. In front of Wren lay out one of the most exquisite dishes of the evening's main course. In the Atlantic, there is a sea fish called lionfish, which has tender flesh and almost no spines, and is cut into translucent thin slices by chefs. These flakes are rolled with lionfish roe and neatly stacked on special plates. There is a miniature magic base at the bottom of the plate, and when you use it, you only need to press the plate down, and the lava on the magic base will activate in an instant. However, this activation time is very short, only about a second.
During this time, the center of the plate will turn red, and at the moment of turning red, pick up this small piece of two centimeters long and one centimeter wide "food box" into the mouth, half of the roe will be eroded and exploded by the high temperature, and the fragrance of the explosion will roll the other half of the roe at room temperature, and be chewed together.
When the bomb explodes in the mouth.......
Wren closed his eyes and straightened his upper body, and after a moment, when the aftertaste on the tip of his tongue was gone, he opened his eyes and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of sweet and delicious taste, "This dish is very good, I will prepare another one tomorrow night." Phoncos immediately made a note on the notebook, such a seemingly simple dish, which cost about a gold coin and a half, was enough to make many people desperate. Even the plates containing the food are worth three gold coins.
This is the life of the aristocracy, who is seen by some as extravagant, but who can never understand the attitude of the aristocracy towards life.
The little girl had obviously tasted the best of the best, and she licked her lips and looked at the empty plate with some regret. However, she quickly picked herself up and told Wren what had happened after Wren left Ortlenburg.
After Wren left, Joberg was the first to pop up, after all, he was still the governor, after all, he still had the name of "righteousness". It's not that he wants to oppose Wren, but to be more active in defending the rules and interests left by Wren, after all, these things will also bring him great benefits. In addition, there is only the hunt for the black barbarians, and the huge Jingguan Pyramid built outside the Salme Mountains greatly deterred the black barbarian tribes in the Salme Mountains, and they continued to send missions in the hope of reaching a ceasefire agreement with Ortlenburg and Rennes. However, due to Wren's departure, they were unable to make the trip, and the barbarians had to move deeper into the mountains to avoid the fate of being constantly beheaded.
Although Ortlenburg lost Rennes' presiding, most of the government remained as it was when Rennes was there. Now Charlie is temporarily acting as the city lord, after all, the money bag is in his hands. Some of the people below had some opinions about this, but they were all suppressed by Cooper. Most of these people are outsiders, and the local aborigines have always maintained a high level of loyalty.
Even if Wren is not in Ortlenburg, as long as he says a word, this group of people will not hesitate to die for him.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Aphro, Aphro continued to run for the black barbarians, perhaps seeing the precursor of the extinction of the black barbarians, this holy woman finally abandoned her calmness and calmness, and continued to deal with the forces stationed in Ortlenburg. After all, the order to kill the barbarians was issued by Wren himself, and as long as Wren does not open his mouth for a day, the act of killing barbarians will not stop for a day.
According to Celeste, Aphro had succeeded in convincing about fourteen or fifteen of the Barbarian tribes, all of whom had expressed their willingness to accept Wren's management, and the Miracle Corridor had been completely blocked, cutting off the possibility of further infiltration of the Byron Empire.
On the whole, the development is not bad, at least not on the wrong path.
As for the other forces, they are still maintaining the situation before Wren leaves, and no one is the first to take the lead, after all, the impression that Wren left on the remnants of the nobles in Bell Province is too bad. Now these people have finally come to their senses, and it turns out that the culprit of the turmoil in the entire province of Bell is Rennes, and his purpose in doing so is obviously to sweep away all the nobles who disobey him in a righteous and justifiable manner. It's really a thought that arises, hundreds of thousands of dead souls mourn, this kind of peerless murderer can not be provoked, it is better not to provoke, who knows when he will turn around and kill people with a sword?
Celeste spoke carefully, and Wren listened attentively, nodding and pondering. A dinner lasted for more than an hour, which was definitely rare for the speed-conscious Rennes.
Although he left Bell Province, it did not mean that Bell Province must be out of his control, and he did not intend to give up control of Bell Province. The geographical location of the province of Bell is too special, and the pass east of Ortlenburg is the Weimar Corridor and the Byron Empire. Wren wasn't going to defect, but he had to be prepared for what happened, so this place, he had to be his own.
After dinner, the excitement of the little girl's reunion after a long absence gradually subsided, and the fatigue of the journey finally broke out after relaxing the spirit, Wren carried Celeste, who was sleeping in his arms, to the prepared room, and slowly closed the door and withdrew.
The little girl is still too young for him to do it.
He entered the study alone, and a cup of green tea had been brewed in the study, and the fragrance of green tea made people's minds calm and flat. He held the crystal teacup, thinking about Aphro and the Black Man.
He hasn't made an accurate decision about the black barbarian force, and it is a difficult problem whether to use it or not.
Even if he uses it, he can't use it openly, after all, he still has to take care of Pars's attitude.
No emperor wants any of his courtiers to have the power to fight against him, even if this person is in the same vein as the emperor.
At the same time, Wren's heart may not be able to trust the black barbarians, the blood feud between the Desi and the black barbarians is unspeakable, and it is absolutely not enough to rely on a saint to resolve this monstrous hatred!
