Chapter 30: The Earl of Highlington

Inside the Lord's Palace... Chris handed the documents to Ted and forced a smile: "My lord, you can't guess what the fifth prince is doing!?" ”

"So what's not to guess? Do you want me to dig for some more food? ”

Chris smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pull away the chair, sat on it slowly, and shook his head with Erlang's legs crossed: "Guess! ”

"What's the guess about that? The royal family who came from the imperial capital either came to promulgate the new laws of the empire, or came to ask for money and food, what else could there be? Ted took out two cans of Coke, poured them into the cups, pushed one of them out with his fingertips, and made a gesture of please: "Don't sell it, my dear butler, tell me~"

You don't need to hang your appetite to sell Guanzi, and it is enough to relieve the tension a little~!

So Chris directly changed the content to a different expression, and responded in a tone that didn't say, but said again: "No problem, Lord Earl of Helrington!" ”

“???”

Ted heard the incredible words, and his body couldn't help but lean back tactically in a small area, and then he leaned forward with his eyes and raised his hand to him: "You mean, the emperor made me an earl?" ”

Chris put the document in his hand on the table: "Now, if we want this title, we have to let the five princes live, or we have to wait... So, to keep them alive? Lord Earl? ”

"Of course~"

Opening the scroll handed over, Ted read it with interest, but... The more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong: "Ahhhh Say we helped win the war... Except for this useless title, not a single copper was given? ”

Chris snorted, stretched out his right index finger and shook it lightly and said: "My lord, you can't understand it like this, the title of earl is much more useful than viscount, in the future, when you introduce yourself, you can directly say that you are the Earl of the North, not the Lord of Valentine... This is more magnificent and atmospheric! ”

"Besides, the emperor didn't give us this title for nothing, he gave us all the snow-capped mountains and mountains in the north, just for this, I don't think it's too much for us to kowtow to the emperor..."

Ted read the letter back suspiciously, and sure enough, he found the statement, and then began to laugh at the uninformed nobles: "These fools don't know what they are giving..."

Beside him, Chris picked up the notebook, opened the notes he made while reading, and said with a smile: "My lord, according to the information prompted in the book, there is a high probability that there will be a huge amount of coal and oil and metal ore hidden in these mountains, even if we don't have the ability to mine now, we can occupy a pit in advance!" Dispel other people's thoughts! ”

"Right!" Ted, like his ancestors, didn't have much affection for the royal family, but looking at what he saw... It seems that the current royal family is okay, not so bad.

"In that case, then let's be polite, wait for tomorrow afternoon, have a banquet in the living room, and get more delicious food that these buns have never seen!"

"No problem, my lord, it will definitely make them doubt life!"

"Hahaha..." the two looked at each other and smiled, as if the two villains had conspired to find something valuable.

...

With Ted's current capabilities, it will be 20 or even 50 years before 'perfect' oil refining! It is not easy to maximize the utilization rate of oil, and now he can only use the coal mine to make do with it...

The high-tech products after World War II can range from hundreds of thousands of stars to tens of millions, and a satellite costs 100 million stars.

The existing way is to use free books and spend some star coins to print them out and let people who can read them!

In this way, you can spread your own tasks and be more efficient! Besides, you don't have to be able to do everything alone! Because the power of the collective is the greatest!

If someone understands "The Theory of Relativity" and "Quantum Mechanics", Ted will definitely find a way to let him live a few more years.

Thinking of this... Seem... Those new moon elves, they live longer... If they were scholars, wouldn't they be able to study for hundreds or thousands of years?

Come to think of it this way... Flattered! If there is a physics god like Albert Einstein and Heisenberg in this group of people, he can think of it with his heels... A god who can live for tens of thousands of years and has a clear mind will make science develop to what hell and god!?

Ted didn't dare to think about it anymore, this kind of thing had to wait until he was depressed to take it out and steal the fun! If he really found such an immortal now, he would probably go into shock on the spot...

...

Under the leadership of the person in charge, the five princes were led to a clean and tidy room, and like the outside, there was no other smell except for their own body odor, only a faint smell of wood and flowers.

After introducing the room, the person in charge turned to look at the group and explained with a look of disgust: "Everyone, people in the north generally take a bath every day, in our culture, demons will crawl out of the dung pit, and filth means cursed and demonic possession!" So please follow the local customs, and I will bring you hot water when the time comes~ After all, before the snow stops in April next year, you all have to stay here~"

The person in charge raised his hat slightly as a sign of respect, then handed out the bath supplies to the prince's team, and then left with a smile held high...

Although it has only been less than three months since the beginning of this culture, it seems to everyone that it is an inseparable part of the culture that came from thousands of years ago and is completely indigenous to the north!

Under the guidance and rewards of the lords, they are convinced of maintaining hygiene, and sometimes they are taught advanced bathing methods, including the technique of removing unnecessary hair from the body...

Leonardo da Vinci frowned, holding the fragrant toiletries in his hand, always feeling uncomfortable: "No wonder they look so clean... But to do so... Wouldn't it be disrespectful to God? ”

"Don't complain, Sir Leonardo da Vinci, we'd better listen to them, there's no need to be unpleasant! As for God, it won't be long before he returns to the imperial capital to buy a indulgence? ”

"Your Highness is very right!"

The two of them thought they were God's courtiers, and they only had to pay a lot of money to buy indulgences to apologize to God... Then ~ a generous and loving God will surely forgive his sins and will not come to trouble!

...

An hour later, Leonardo da Vinci soaked in the water, stretched comfortably, and yawned for nearly 8 seconds, which felt like falling into the clouds, as if he was swimming in heaven!

After a long time, he opened his eyes and repented: "Lord, I am guilty! Actually take a bath!? This is really disrespectful to you..."

But in his heart he howled comfortably: "It's so comfortable, it turns out that the feeling of betraying the Lord is so delicate! It's so cool! Is this what betrayal feels like? It seems that taking a bath every day is essential! ”

In the other bathroom, the five princes looked at the bottles and cans in front of them, as well as the things called the "gauntlets of the gods", and fell into deep thought...

"Could it be... After all these years, were we wrong? Steve let out a long sigh and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

Suddenly, the door was opened, and a sweet-looking, plump moon elf beauty, half-covered with light veil, came to the bathroom room with a kettle, put the hot water in a place where the prince could reach it, and left quickly.

Just for a moment, the two looked at each other, and an inexplicable evil fire burst out from the bottom of Steve's heart...

"No, no, no! I'm a married man, and if I have a relationship, wouldn't I be like any other unfaithful person? He shook his head quickly, and drank half a glass of ice water before he could barely dispel the evil fire.

As everyone knows, the moon elf just now was deliberate, she wanted to test whether this prince was loyal to his wife, so that she could carry out the plan in the future...

...

These people wasted nearly 4 hours in the shower before they washed everything off their bodies!

Changing into his new clothes and walking to the mirror, Steve felt his whole body float.

"It's like... That's not bad? ”

He put down his bath items and sat on the sofa to enjoy the taste of pure air! Even the wood tastes extra sweet.

Suddenly, an anxious shout came: "Your Highness! ”

"Sir Leonardo da Vinci? How did you panic? ”

"Your Highness, come down for dinner, they have sent a lot of good things!"

"Oh?" Regarding the food, Steve noticed that something was wrong from the moment he walked through the door.

It's cold and windy outside, and the inhabitants of the north are wearing thick clothes and eating vegetables at home?

The fresh fruits and vegetables on the counter look like they've just been picked, and they still have the taste of summer!

If you want to break the sky, Steve doesn't know how to do it?

"Could it be that cold weather can really keep it fresh? But even if it can be kept fresh, it's a bit too much..."

Steve shook his head and stopped thinking, but followed Leonardo da Vinci and led the guards to the restaurant below...

Just a casual sweep, the prince was dumbfounded...

"Oh my God! Can you still eat grapes here? ”

Grapes, which are precious items, have a rapidly shortened shelf life from the moment they are picked!

Transported from the middle to the north, at least half will rot on the way...

In this kind of cold winter season, only the top nobles in the imperial capital can eat this extravagant fruit, and the north actually entertains itself with this thing? This is the specification of entertaining the emperor!

"Ahem! Even if you invite me to eat grapes... I'll have to ask! Why did you treat me like this when you entered the city? ”
