Chapter Eighty-Five: Inner Armor
Barrett, who had just walked in, stumbled when he heard the words, and almost fell to the ground. Standing firmly, he said in embarrassment: "My lord, the inner armor will only be repaired tomorrow morning, and now I really can't recover immediately!"
His face was sad, and he wanted to slap himself. I knew that this kind of thing would happen, and I would never brag about his skills on the road because of a moment of excitement. As if remembering something, he looked at Lisa almost pleadingly.
"My lord, it's getting late, you might as well leave tomorrow!" Lisa's heart softened and she took the initiative to persuade her. Her beautiful cheeks flushed, she forcibly endured her shyness, and said, "What's more, with the protection of the inner armor, I can also feel at ease." ”
Lei Ming was stunned in his heart, when did he say that he wanted to be in the inner armor?
He looked out the window, it was already completely dark, thought for a moment, and said, "All right!" Send someone to tell Sayles, get the boat ready, and set out early tomorrow morning. ”
Seeing Lisa's hesitation, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, just accept the food, and it won't delay anything." ”
"I'll go. Lisa breathed a sigh of relief, looked relaxed, and walked out briskly.
"My lord, if I don't have an order, I will take my leave. Barrett took two steps, uncomfortable, and felt like he had misunderstood something.
Lei Ming responded, as if inadvertently, "I will see the intact inner armor tomorrow morning." ”
Barrett paused and nodded emphatically.
Lei Ming looked at his departing back, smiled and shook his head, it is better to be a dwarf or a rectum. He turned around and sat down in his chair, picked up the papers, and read them carefully.
There are countless things in the territory, and countless files are transferred every day, most of which are handled by local officials. Only some more important things will be sent to the Viscount's Palace.
Perhaps these official duties are a nuisance to the other lords, but Lei Ming wants to do as much as possible. For each document that is corrected, some energy is gained, although it is very small, but it is not enough to support the large number.
He glanced at the red energy marker, and after two busy days, he increased his energy by 1% to 41%. Maybe solve the food problem of the territory and be able to advance.
Suddenly, Lei Ming felt a faint fluctuation of airflow, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharpened to look at the corner of the study. The green light flashes in his eyes, and he seems to see everything. "Come out!"
"Giggles, my idiots are right. My lord, I really have a keen eye. A graceful figure appeared, a red veil covering most of his face, revealing only his large watery eyes. The black gauze skirt is worn on the body, and the white skin is like a thin layer of mist, which is full of confusion.
"That's why you're here to see Viscount Ben? Lei Ming put down the pen and paper in his hand, looked at it unscrupulously, and said with a smile.
Although I have known for a long time that the Shadow Knight Leader is a powerful woman with the title of "Shadow Queen", I only know how powerful I know when I see it. was so close, with his keen perception, he couldn't detect any fluctuations in vindictive energy, as if the woman in front of him was just an ordinary person.
"Giggles, my lord, if something wonderful wants to happen, I don't mind at all. The Shadow Leader's eyes wandered, his lips covered, and he smiled.
Lei Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, his index finger tapped the table rhythmically, and said lightly: "Say! What is the matter with finding the Viscount of the Book?"
A hint of resentment flashed in the Shadow Leader's eyes, as if he was blaming the man for his ruthlessness. The white palm stretched out, and a document appeared out of thin air in his hand and handed it over. "This is the information of all the merchants in the territory. ”
Lei Ming opened it and glanced at it, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. With a flick of his wrist, he shattered into pieces and waved his hand. "You go out first!"
He leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought. The merchants of the territory did not have much grain in stock, which was indeed somewhat unexpected.
"My lord, it's getting late, so you can rest early!" Lisa said softly, pushing the door open and walking in.
Lei Ming came back to his senses, nodded, and got up and went back to the bedroom.
When he awoke, it was dawn, and he got dressed under the maid's service and strode into the dining room. After eating something briefly, he put down his knife and fork, and said lightly, "Hasn't Barrett come yet?"
The maid looked at each other and shook her head.
A rush of footsteps approached, Barrett's face was black, as if it had been smoked, he didn't care, and said excitedly: "My lord, it's repaired." ”
Lei Ming raised his hand to take it and looked at it. The appearance of the inner armor has not changed much, but the surface has become smooth as a mirror, revealing a layer of crystal luster. Placing his hand on the table, he beckoned, and the maid willingly handed over a delicate long sword. He poured his fighting spirit into the long sword and stabbed it down with all his might.
Bang!
A dull collision sounded, a huge anti-shock force came, and the thunderous body shook violently. Take a deep breath and steady yourself. Looking up, the delicate long sword was full of cracks, and the tip of the sword was broken. On the other hand, the inner armor was unscathed.
"Yes, Barrett, you are really good at your craft. He threw away the hilt of his sword and grimaced. He touched his chin and said, "You dwarves have just arrived, and you lack supplies, so you will go to Lisa's to receive 10,000 gold coins later!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your generosity to the gods. Barrett was stunned for a moment, looking ecstatic.
Lei Ming returned to the bedroom to change into inner armor, and under the service of the maid, put on a gorgeous and cumbersome viscount suit. He looked in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, and strode out of the mansion.
With a wave of his sleeves, he leaned over the carriage that had been prepared, and sped toward Port Vale, surrounded by ten guardian knights and a squadron of city guards.
In the harbor, Sayles stood at the dock with more than 100 navy officers, walking back and forth anxiously, looking into the distance from time to time, looking uneasy.
"General, it seems to be the lord's carriage. The sharp-eyed soldier glanced at it and hurriedly reminded.
Sayles took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, tidied up his clothes, walked up quickly, and saluted, "My lord." ”
Lei Ming stepped out of the carriage, glanced at the surrounding navy, put his left hand behind his back, and said lightly: "Sayles, didn't Viscount Ben ask you to gather the navy? ”
Cold sweat slid down his cheeks on Sayles' face, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and explained stubbornly: "My lord, in just two or three days, the navy has not completely rested, and there is some resistance to going to sea. ”
"Resistance?" Lei Ming's eyes flashed, as if he was asking a rhetorical question, as if he was talking to himself.
Sayles felt a chill in his heart, and said cautiously: "My lord, you are going to receive food. The pirates in the vicinity have been wiped out, and I think it will be enough to dispatch three medium-sized warships. ”
Lei Ming touched his chin, turned around and patted Sayles on the shoulder, and said softly: "Sayles, you don't have to go this time, stay and straighten out the navy." Viscount Ben believes that with your ability, Viscount Ben will be able to handle it when he returns, right?"
Sayles complained bitterly, it would take about ten days to get back and forth to the Grand Duke Catherine's domain, and it would be difficult to deal with it in such a short period of time without making a spicy hand. He squeezed out a smile and said, "My lord, don't worry!"
Lei Ming nodded in satisfaction and strode onto the warship. With a wave of his big sleeves, he said coldly: "Let's go." ”
Three medium-sized warships, round ten large merchant ships, pulled anchor and set sail, sailing downwind along the nearest channel towards the Archduke Catherine's domain.
