Chapter 144: Wedding Gifts
Although there were a lot of unexpected chaos, it did not affect the original plan, but only made Luca's money bag slim down a little. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lukka didn't want to worry about the details of "how did a parrot destroy twenty kilograms of cherries", but directly ordered to shut up and think about it with Thea the next day, anyway, the silver dragon didn't have an invitation, and the parrot would definitely have to find trouble on that occasion, so he simply let the two of them stop quietly on the boat for a day. Let's hope so.
Early the next morning, the coachman introduced by the tavern owner Walter arrived as scheduled. Lukka got into the car with the packed "Silver Castle" and carefully placed it next to his seat - it contained most of his crew, and there was no room for error.
The coachman, a lean man in his thirties, like most of the drivers in the Sunset Islands, gushed Luca into the island's natural beauty and history. With his eloquence, it is really a bit of a tyrannical thing to be committed to such a military port, rather than a tourist resort like Layton Harbor.
The wedding took place at the Royal Garden, which, according to the coachman, was not part of the Brohn Empire twenty years ago. Not only that, but the entire island of Silver Fir was a completely independent kingdom back then.
Like many small and weak nations in the northwestern part of the Sunset Islands, this one-island country was quickly annexed by the Brohn Empire without any decent resistance, and its royal palace, once famous for its cultivation of rare plants, has now become a state-owned garden of the Brohn Empire.
"Then you weren't a subject of the Empire when you were born, don't you have any thoughts about the Empire?" asked Luca.
"But then again, what difference does it make to people like us, no matter who comes from, the taxes are the same, as long as we can make ends meet, what other ideas can we have?" the coachman really wanted to drive, but he didn't know if he really thought so, or because of Luca's current status as a "baron", he had to say so.
After dropping Luca off at the place, the coachman asked, "Do you want to use the car when you go back?"
Lukka thought for a moment, took out two silver coins with a face value of ten from his pocket and handed them to him: "You don't have to run around, just rest here, I will take this car today." When I come out, I'll pay for the remaining two. ”
Of course, the driver was very happy, and he could make a full day's profit with only two trips back and forth.
Lukka turned and walked to the gate of the Royal Grove, which was heavily guarded, but it was true that as Ollie had said, the guards were just checking the invitations one by one, and they didn't look at the faces of the people at all.
"Aren't they afraid of troublemakers sneaking in?" Lukka asked in a low voice as he entered the antechamber.
"The Brohn Empire is expanding so fast, and more than a dozen nobles pop up every day, how can those guards recognize them all? Besides, this wedding is not so important to most people!" Ollie replied quietly in the castle model.
"Besides, there are so many warships on this island that they don't need money, who has nothing to do with themselves, and they come to this place to make trouble?" said Daniel, who had been glaring for a long time yesterday at the many warships coming and going on the sea.
"Except for us. Crete added.
Before Lukka could say something more, a maid stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Excellency, is there anything wrong?"
Lukka realized that his behavior of holding this castle and talking to himself was a little less low-key, but fortunately there were many guests in this front room, and not many people really noticed him.
"It's okay, I'm just going to check if this gift is in good condition. He quickly disguised.
"Your Excellency, please bring your gifts to the Boutique Room for registration. When the maid had finished speaking, she called another maid and said, "Lead the way for this lord." ”
When I came to the gift room, the person in charge was a junior officer. At the sight of this man, Luka suddenly became nervous.
He didn't really know much about the people of the Imperial Navy, but Luca would never forget this face no matter what. When he first crossed here, the commander of his men to hang him on the gallows was this Navy Lieutenant, Tim Warren.
A year has passed, and this Lieutenant Warren not only did not rise in rank at all, but was also assigned such a trivial job of receiving gifts and registering, and it seems that things are not going well. Perhaps, it was because he was run away by a condemned prisoner on the island of Yato that his ascent was blocked.
Lieutenant Warren picked up the castle, looked at it carefully, and then turned his head and handed it to a man next to him.
The man was dressed like Luca, wearing the same uniform as the one who died in the ruins of the seabed, Bane Soban, who was clearly from the Imperial Laboratory. If it were to examine the possible presence of explosives in a gift, probably no one would be more experienced than the researchers in the laboratory.
He opened all the doors and windows of the castle one by one to inspect them, and after a long while, he finally nodded: "No problem." ”
Luca's hanging heart finally let go, and immediately he heard the man laugh and say, "These little dolls in there are really like them!"
"Well, yes, it's made by a skilled craftsman!" Lukka said in his accord.
He wrote his disguised name on the roster: Baron Gerard Sanders, and was about to turn to leave, when Lieutenant Warren suddenly stopped him: "Please wait a minute!"
Lukka couldn't help but get nervous: "Is there a problem?"
"I'm sorry, you don't know it's you. Warren politely replied, "Count Caflin has left an order, please go to him as soon as you arrive." ”
"Uh...... I'll go. Lukka was ready to slip away.
But Lieutenant Warren stood up and opened the door to the next room, "The Count will be coming soon, please wait here for him for a while." ”
Lukka frowned, although it sounded a little bad, but he decided to take a look at the situation first, walked a few steps to the side room, and suddenly turned around and took the silver castle back from the researcher in the laboratory: "I'll bring this myself, I'll give it to him myself later!"
As he spoke, he strode into the room and slammed the door shut.
Luckily, the room was empty with only a few chairs.
Lukka sat down and thought about it carefully, although Lieutenant Warren's tone just now was very polite, but his actions did not allow him to have any other choice, could it be that his disguise aroused suspicion?
Immediately, he shook his head and dispelled the thought. If there is a problem with your disguise, it will not be as simple as "waiting here". Well, there were some problems between the original Baron Sanders and Count Caflin.
Before he could make any more movements, an unfamiliar voice came from outside the door:
"You said Gerald's kid is here?"
