Chapter 375: Pressure (I)
The raindrops whipped against the ground, and it was misty, hitting the glass and clanging.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and a lightning bolt of lightning cut through the sky, followed by a violent thunderclap that shook the windows.
Lu Lun looked out the window, frowned and said, "It's been a lot of wind and waves recently!"
The sky lit up again, illuminating the space.
This is a high-class villa, made of neat granite, and the gate is also made of metal cable village fence.
At this time, in a study in the small building of the villa, more than a dozen candles were lit on a candlestick made of silver, and the soft light was sprinkled throughout the study.
The furnishings in the study are quite simple, leaning on the sofas arranged around it, surrounded by dense bookshelves, near the window is the desk, behind the desk, Romon is reading a letter, and he smiled indifferently: "The ocean, there is always an unpredictable future." ”
He put down the letter and said, "Hey, your grandson is really amazing, he has already read the basic courses such as "The Basic Theory of the Four Elements", "Preliminary Spatial Structure", and "Preliminary Study of the Law of Communication between the Outer Plane and the World" in two months, especially report to me!"
"Yes, I'm glad he could do that. When Lu Lun heard this, he immediately cracked his mouth and was very happy.
"Debiru is very talented, but since he wrote to ask for my opinion, I will answer him, try not to think about learning two first-level spells this year. Romon said, took out the letter paper, and began to write with a quill: "Although I am not a magician, I also know that magicians are a profession of knowledge, so the solidity of knowledge, in the long run, depends on the rapid learning of a few spells. ”
"Yes, all the basics are the basis for learning magic in the future, and no one can cross such a foundation without falling on his heels, don't you say, I will also warn him. Lu Lun said.
Hearing this, Romon smiled slightly, and wrote a letter to this Debiru: "However, in this world, it is not okay to ignore rank, and the proportion here must be grasped well." ”
At this moment, a servant knocked on the door: "My lord, it's time for lunch."
"Got it, let's go out to dinner together?" Romon put down his pen, the letter could be written later.
"You're so polite. Lu Lun bowed slightly.
When I got out of the study and came to the small dining room, two maids pushed a dining cart through the door.
In this world, due to the existence of gods and professions, the most suitable system is the feudal system, so as to reconcile the contradictions between powerful professionals and descendants of gods, and lack strong centralized power.
Because of this, social conflicts are constantly occurring at all levels.
In order to maintain and expand their own interests, the nobles themselves must be martial or knowledgeable.
The value of the numerous knights and servants is also reflected, and they deal with the struggles between the nobles, the devil's calamities, and the rebellion from the people below.
Therefore, although there was a chasm between the vassals and knights and the nobles, and the vassals and knights were required to be loyal to the feudal lord for generations, in fact, the status of the vassals and knights was not low."
Romon personally greeted him as his servant, and gave him considerable respect.
That said, lunch is generally relatively simple, with only a few dishes.
There is a dish, which is "Shayak meat sauce", which is made by chopping chicken into a puree, adding almond milk and sugar to stir into a paste, and then heating it with fried almonds and fennel to make it a pitiful day, Romon can't get used to eating this kind of thing, but Lu Lun likes it very much, and eats it with relish.
Fortunately, the second dish is good, the name is "meatballs", that is, the fish and chicken are minced, mixed into a paste with soup, eggs, and bread crumbs, and then squeezed into small balls by hand, and then fried to a golden brown, which is similar to the taste of Earth China, which is even appreciated by Rosso.
The third course is the crescent fish, which is a precious seafood, extremely delicious, only for the aristocracy to enjoy, and ordinary people only salivate.
And with wine and fruit, it's lunch.
Lu Lun ate with satisfaction, now life is heaven, the past few decades in the city in the middle and low scholars are far from being able to compare, he could not help but say: "It's delicious! ”
Romon glanced at the muddy so-called "Shayak Bolognese", shivered, and said, "If you like it, oh, Debiru likes it, anyway, the food in the cafeteria of the Mage Guild is indeed a little unpalatable." ”
The Mage Guild is just an organization in human society, it also needs resources, it is also constrained, and it does not have the color of a god, and it is a joke to think that the Mage Guild does not take money to heart.
There is no shortage of mages, and the mage's union will not be rich enough to prepare fine food for its apprentices.
"Yes, the apprentice board and lodging of the Mage Guild is indeed not very good, and besides, it is natural that the treatment of mages of level 1-4 is only equivalent to servants. ”
"According to my judgment, level 1 and 2 are right, the standard of living of a mage of the ∽ level is already equivalent to a knight with a village, and a mage above level 5 can already hold a knife and fork with a hereditary lord F1 Luo Meng unceremoniously attacked Maruko.
God knows why they have so many sources! Lu Lun picked up a glass of wine and tasted the luxurious wine.
"You're just spitting, you're just selling arms. Romon said.
Lu Lun smiled, what Romon said was right, it was nothing more than selling arms, the magic scrolls and weapons made by the mage were the main source of profits, although not all of them were arms, but most of them were arms, he was old, and he didn't have a big mouth, and he tasted the wine and said: "Continuing with the above topic, you seem to have some opinions on Debiru's promotion?"
Luo Meng finished eating the last small ball, relieved, he was still satisfied with this lunch, and Luo Meng, who was full of wine and food, glanced at the dim sky outside that continued to rain and rain: "Well, mages are not a luxury organization, in fact, every mage must serve the mage union, as far as I know, most mages must work hard to make money for the mage union after being promoted to level 1 to compensate for the previous efforts of the mage union." ”
Seriously, Romon remembered the scientific research projects on the earth, and those poor new mages could only be the assistants of higher-level mages for a long time, and it would be their turn to use resources if their level and contribution were promoted, although it was a convention, but for those who had resources, it was a complete waste.
Moreover, the god of order equates rank and duty, which is really far-sighted.
Many people think it's stupid to hold a few levels of branding, but in fact, they are fools.
Personally, the level can clearly know its general strength, and it is rare to do stupid things like using the mantis arm as a car.
For society, a clear hierarchy can better manage subordinates, so that every bit of strength can be used more accurately and not wasted.
Therefore, the order of the god of order, which keeps the world running, cannot be replaced.
For a moment, Luo Meng's thoughts fell on the divinity of the god of order, he smiled dumbly, and continued: "According to the rules, the average magic apprentice has a three-year free semester, and there is very little work to be pressed down at this time, so Debiru can have a solid theoretical foundation in these three years, once he becomes a level 1 mage, I am afraid that he will not learn anything, and he will be exhausted for the mage union, this choice is not very good." ”
Hearing these words in Lu Lun's ears, you can understand his current mood from his slightly upturned beard, he sincerely lowered his head and said: "My lord, you are very grateful for your care for Debiru. And thank you again for your hospitality.
Luo Meng put down the wine glass, wiped his mouth, and said: "It's nothing, let's go to the study, Lu Lun followed Luo Meng, walked out of the restaurant together, and came to the study, Luo Meng began to write a letter, and said casually: "Lu Lun scholar, what do you think about the current situation?"
"Now that you have accepted the position of Governor of the local navy, it is impossible to refrain from resigning after that madman has sacked several nobles and merchants, and if you are not careful, you will become all their enemies if you are not careful. When it came to business, Lu Lun became serious, and he carefully analyzed and said: "And this situation, whether it is Viscount Edel, or Baron Shaka and the earl, they are very willing to see, I have to say that your prestige and interests have exceeded their bottom line." ”
The madman is Waddenvin, and after all these things he has done to completely destroy the bottom line, the nickname of the madman has been nailed to him.
Romon only wrote the letter, silently, and after a long time, he slowly put down the finished letter, and said: "I already know the intention of this intention, so what suggestions do you have for the current situation?"
"The first is, of course, to retreat, but if you retreat, I am afraid that your previous honor and prestige will be deprived, and even endanger the future interests of your family, so it is not advisable. Lu Lun said: "Actually, according to my understanding, maybe what the nobles and the royal family want to fight more is the merit and prestige you have established." ”
"Oh, what do you say?" Luo Xiao was indeed puzzled.
"Oh, my lord, you still don't understand the aristocratic world, in fact, you are brave and fearless in the demonic disaster, saving many lives, and establishing many meritorious deeds, which were originally your personal honor, but this person's honor can be transformed into family honor, and finally passed on to future generations. Lu Lun explained: "You may not know that you have gained a reputation for being benevolent and warlike, which has given your family name a high honor, and this will be in the years to come, when your descendants hear this, Luo Rong fell into deep contemplation.
Seeing that Romon was sitting on the side without saying a word, Lu Lun continued: "You are now on the side of Baron Shaka and the earl, so you have to be involved in the conflict between the royal family and the local nobles, in fact, if you want to ensure safety, you can build a third-party force, of course, it is not easy to establish a third-party force, but you already have this potential." ”
"First of all, you and your allies already occupy a fairly large territory, and you don't have to be presumptuous about that, and secondly, the reputation you have built in the Demon Calamity is quite good, and if you can go one step further, you can become a noble family and lead a noble faction. ”
“...... If I'm not mistaken, you suggest I move on?"
"Yes, go ahead and solidify the glory of your surname, and if you can get the official title, it will be passed on. ”
Although Lu Lun advocates moving forward is also for his own interests, after all, in this world, the progress of the lord is inseparable from the progress of the lord's family, but this is also true, and it is also in line with Luo Meng's thoughts, Luo Meng just thought about it a little, and said: "Your idea is very right, it's just, how about the specific steps?"
"The specific steps are to ask the nobles for money first, since you have to fulfill your responsibilities, then the gold promised before must also be in place, this is a political attitude, even if you have a mountain of gold. Lu Lun said this, paused, and continued: "After that, you have to rely on your strength and luck to get to that point. ”
Hearing this, Luo Rong laughed and said, "Then this task will be handed over to you, I hope you can come with the rest of the gold within a few days." ”
"As you wish, my lord!" said Lu Lun with a bow.
