After listening to the experience and experience from Bruce, Father Martin pinched a lot of cold sweat for him in his heart, and he could survive smoothly in that situation, even if it was a fairy, it was difficult for him to do it!

The devil knows that only the bark of trees can be eaten, and there are only a few people who leave the moonbaar! And in the end, outside the village, the probability of 1 in 100,000! What a lucky man to survive under the swords of the soldiers!

Martin wiped the sweat from his forehead, put his hand on his body, and said earnestly: "Child, don't tell anyone about this, when the famine is over, you will come to me again, understand?" ”

Receiving a separate summons from the priest, in the past, it was a matter of honoring the ancestors, and the surrounding neighbors would even come to give gifts and shoot horses! But now, Bruce couldn't laugh at it, because the priest's expression was serious, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

But... This shouldn't be a dangerous thing to do.

So Bruce nodded directly and replied, "No problem, Father, but... Can you tell me exactly what happened? ”

The priest did not tell him the specifics, but asked Bruce to confirm his name: "Your name is Bruce, right?" ”

"Yes, Father Priest!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the priest put his medicine in a gourd and sold it to his heart's content!

He swore that he took Bruce's hand and said his opinion in a very subtle expression: "I can't tell you right now, but I can say one thing in advance, that is, something is not quite right in our world!" ”

"Something isn't right, which direction are you referring to?"

"Come back to me later..."

"Understood, Father Priest!"

Bruce didn't ask much, he just felt that this mysterious priest was a little wrong, but he still looked like a kind old man, and there was no threat.

...

A month later, in the northern Gobi, the factory was established!

Originally, it was a day to celebrate, but the unexpected always appeared out of nowhere and caught everyone off guard.

On this day, Chris took the notebook and cautiously came to Ted and asked, "My lord, I have a small problem that I need you to look at, and there is nothing I can do about it... It shouldn't be a big deal, though, but I'll have to ask you what you mean..."

"Oh? What's up? Ted put down the cup in his hand and calmly looked up at Chris, but his heart was in a mess.

Because Chris is a very proud person, even if it is a big trouble, as long as he can solve it, he will not use this kind of wording.

And this time, 'a small problem', could mean a lot of trouble that can't be solved! Even if it doesn't destroy the world, it has to hurt the muscles and bones.

Ted was ready for 'the newly built factory collapsed' or the 'oil industry zone is gone'... He held out his hand tremblingly and made several circles in the air, motioning for Chris to speak out about the disaster.

"My lord, our newly built factory, because of your order, moved a lot south, and finally built on the territory of Baron Tomato, and we will not find out until the construction is completed!"

"Huh? Anything else? Ted was stunned, in his opinion, this matter is not a big deal, the Gobi is divided into two, occupied by Ted and Baron Tomato, a little more and a little less makes no difference, and no one will find out...

But Chris doesn't think so, he is familiar with all the laws of the empire, and he is very taboo about doing things on other people's territory: "My lord, we are now building factories on other people's territory!" ”

"Eh~" Ted reached out and made a worried gesture, took out a map from the side, and spread it on the table.

In addition, he took out a pen out of nowhere and drew a circle on the map: "Chris, come and take a look!" Do you see this next door, has Baron Tomato been here? ”

"It's... My lord, according to the laws of the Empire, we are not allowed to make decisions on our own, nor can we engage in production or commerce in the territory of other nobles, and even if we want to do so, we must obtain the consent of the local nobles! ”

Hearing these words, Ted completely woke up that the era he is in now, but the dark ages, is not a country under a scientific democratic system, let alone a society in which the people are the masters of the country.

You can around casually in your own territory, but when it comes to someone else's territory...

Just pay attention!

Besides, even in a civilized society, you can't just grab other people's territory, and if you do, you will get into a fight.

Thinking of this, Ted had a plan: "You are like this, first draw up the itinerary, and after the winter, I will personally visit Baron Tomato to discuss whether I can buy this land from him." ”

"Buy?" Thinking he was deaf, Chris pulled down the stool and crossed his hands on the table, with a puzzled expression, as if wondering, 'Is there some serious illness with your lord?' ’

Ted, thinking that what he said was not clear enough, repeated it again: "Of course, buy!" ”

"But..."Chris covered his head, his face full of incredulity, took out a notebook from his satchel, quickly found a law from it, and read it carefully: "The laws of the empire clearly stipulate that nobles and nobles, or between nobles and commoners, cannot be transferred in any form, or sold to buy land, and those who violate the order, the royal family has the right to confiscate all illegal gains, and can also recover all land!" ”

Fearing that Ted didn't understand, Chris flipped to the next page and continued to add: "My lord, it doesn't matter what you do in the North, because the people of the North are now answering your call, and they won't go anywhere else, and even if you declare independence, no one will know, because no one knows that your actions have touched their interests!" ”

"But this time it's different, you'll touch the interests of other nobles, and they'll join forces against you! I know our new weapon is powerful and can be used against a hundred, but we can't kill them all like a butcher..."

This analysis makes a lot of sense, and there is nothing wrong with it from start to finish, except that Chris has overlooked one...

That is, the decree in his hand is only a part of the law, not the same as the royal law.

The Royal Law was only available to those who were close friends with the royal family, and in this law, the royal family was given some privileges by God.

Especially in the sale and purchase of land!

Looking into Chris's puzzled eyes, Ted unhurriedly opened the drawer, took out a thick book from it, and handed it to him.

"Turn to page 233, line 23, read carefully..."

Chris took the book suspiciously, flipped to the specified number of pages, and placed his finger under the text to read it word by word, lest he miss a word.

"In the Imperial Law, it is not possible to sell land, but in the royal law, a member of the royal family, who must be the emperor or a prince, can be invited to come as a witness..."

Reading this, Chris understood what Ted meant.

"Your Excellency, you mean..."

Ted nodded confidently and quipped in the direction of the prince's residence, "Don't we have a ready-made prince here?" Although he doesn't have any power, he is also a real prince! So buying land is not a problem! It's a question of how to buy and what to buy with! It is not easy to convince a nobleman to sell his land. ”

In this case, it seems that none of this is a problem, because Prince Steve is now his own person, and this really doesn't seem to be a problem...

"Understood, my lord, I'm going to prepare the right chips, but can I see your copy of the Royal Law?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ted closed the book and put it in Chris's hand, instructing by the way: "Every royal law is fixed, and Steve can only use this one, if he loses it, he will have to return to the imperial capital to get it again." ”

In order for the plan to proceed, it is necessary for Chris to understand all the laws of the empire and find the right loopholes to maximize the benefits: "Don't worry, my lord, I will put it in the safe in the safe, and I won't let anyone but me get it!" ”

"Of course I'm relieved!" Ted pulled out a bottle of Coke from his safe and handed it to Chris, "Our first batch of volunteers has been recruited, and the first training is in the afternoon, do you want to come with me to see it?" ”

"Of course, the city is on track and stable, and I just have time!"

"See you in a moment?"

"No problem, my lord!"

...

As it approached noon, Ted was ready to go out for a walk, take a look at the surrounding cityscape, and then head home for dinner!

But just as he passed by the main hall, he spotted a sneaky man and woman walking into the town hall and walking directly to the marriage registry office.

"Huh? Why are these two people so familiar? "Ted seems to have seen them somewhere.

Familiar feelings, familiar voices, but I can't think of who they are?

In order to get to the bottom of the matter, Ted casually takes off his coat and follows the two of them...

A young couple in front didn't notice that someone was following behind, but they were talking and laughing, and the man stretched out his hand to touch the woman's stomach from time to time.

The woman seems to be pregnant, and although the protruding belly is not very obvious, the result can still be inferred from their movements.

A few months passed, and the marriage registry office at the town hall was no longer crowded, with only a few couples coming to register for reports, so the two men were quickly called inside the office by staff to take pictures.

Thanks to the reduced workload and the fact that Ted purchased a photo printer, the marriage certificate was produced quickly, and what would have taken three days to now take only half an hour to complete.

After the young couple happily walked out of the office, Ted turned to the side hallway and came through the back door to the marriage registry.

Just when the staff wanted to continue to call the number, Ted quickly pulled down the staff in front of him: "Wait a minute, I have something to ask you!" ”

The staff turned their heads, took off their hats excitedly, and said in surprise: "Lord Lord! Hello adults! Would you like to have a cup of milk tea? There is a new bubble tea shop next door, and it's delicious! ”

I thought the staff would say something about work, but no, she held up the drink in her hand and strongly recommended Ted to try it.

Ted stared at the sweet-looking, slightly chubby beauty in front of him with puzzled eyes, and repeatedly confirmed: "Bubble tea shop? Do you mean the next door? ”

"Yes! It's owned by the Moon Elves, a nice shop where you can buy most of the drinks you can think of! ”

"Ahem" Ted coughed lightly twice, signaling the staff to calm down: "I'll talk about this later, let me ask you a question, who are the two people who registered just now?" ”

What happened half a minute ago is hard for such a young staff member to forget: "Do you mean the pair of a pregnant moon elf female and a human male?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the couple, can you tell me their names?"

"I'll look for it... Forehead... Here, my lord, you see. ”

[Male: Steve Yorke, Female: Vazhena Alexei Jessamine She]

"Oh my god, that's a long list of names!" Ted was stunned, he didn't expect this female Aquaman's name to have such a long list!?

The staff shrugged their shoulders to say that it was nothing, and then pointed to the thick stack of paper on the right, picked up the milk tea and took a sip, and said with a smile: "My lord, the name of the moon elf is generally from four paragraphs, which is not bad, when I registered the day before yesterday, there was a moon elf male, his name has a total of 128 letters, and we used it for a long time when we entered it..."

Hearing this, Ted thought it was an oversight in the arrangement, so he pointed to the surrounding staff and asked, "Isn't there a moon elf working in the marriage registry?" ”

"Back to my lord, their number is too small, only more than five thousand, and there are still a lot of things waiting for them to do..."

"That's right..."Ted suddenly recalled the mission of 'saving the Moon Elves' that he had been carrying, but his strength was not enough, and he couldn't cross the snowy mountains to the east of the continent to save them.

If you want to dig through the mountain, you need to be technical, but flying over the mountain... It's a lot less difficult!

Merely... Thomas had just rubbed out a working truck, and he was still some distance away from hand-rubbing the plane.

Ideally, it would take two years to build a small airplane.

"Take your time... I'll rush Thomas when I go back..."

"Ding!"

At the same time, the photo was printed, and Ted walked slowly forward, took it down, and put it in his hand to take a closer look.

"Hey, Steve is actually wearing civilian clothes, it's really enough to wronged this prince, what kind of charm does Wachena have that fascinates him?"

Ted turned and handed the photo to the staff and asked them to proceed with the marriage certificate.

"Now that the documents are ready, are they going to come in and take pictures?"

"Yes, sir!"

"That's... Just let them in! ”

Ted, with an accurate reply, said something unnutritious like 'hard work pays off', then pushed open the door to the photo studio next door, pulled over a stool, sat on it, and waited for the two living treasures to come in.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Steve happily put his arms around Wachena and whispered in the gentlest tone in her ear: "In the North, I am your husband, and I will be yours for the rest of my life!" ”

Wachena still had the cute face of the little daughter-in-law, and she put her hand on Steve's chest and asked in a low voice, "Then have you figured out what our child is called?" ”

Steve seemed to be very confident in himself, he put his hand on Wazhena's stomach and said with love: "Don't worry, I don't know how many it is?" Wait until you are born, how about it? ”

"Ahem!"

Just as they were about to continue to say something tiger-wolf, Ted interrupted them with a cough!

"Your Lord!" Vachena covered her mouth and turned sideways to bury her head in Steve's arms.

"Thai... Ted... How did you end up here? ”

Ted did not open his mouth to taunt, or verbally sarcastic and ridicule the two, but stood up with a smile and handed them the marriage certificate.

"I wish you a happy wedding! When are you planning to have your wedding? ”

"It's... We... We're "Wazena lay on Steve's chest, and the next sentence just couldn't be spoken.

"Come to my office and say, how about it?" Ted knew that there were a lot of people talking at the moment, so it was better to let them wait a while before taking pictures, and talk to himself before coming back.

After saying this, he called the staff and told him to deal with the next couple who came to register first.

"Come with me!" Ted opened the back door and motioned for the two to follow him out from behind.

...

When the three of them came to the office, Ted stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to sit down: "Sit down!" ”

As soon as he sat down, Steve angrily put his hands on the table and pointed at Ted and asked, "Ted, are you planning to humiliate us?" You know we're cheating! Being able to get a marriage certificate is already on the verge of being discovered! You say it's a wedding, what do you want to do! ”

These two living treasures were able to register their marriage, thanks to the fact that the North is different from the rest of the Empire! Because religious marriages are not recognized here! As long as you don't register, it doesn't matter.

Ted still entertained his guests as he normally would, bringing out his drink and cup... Then, he pointed to his serious face and said seriously: "Do you think I am humiliating you?" ”...

Hearing Ted's serious tone, Vazena poked her head out again, looked at the lord in front of her, and tried to ask, "Is it really possible?" I said to have a wedding? ”

As an ambitious and thoughtful lord who had already memorized information about important people, Ted nodded at Vachena in agreement, then turned to Steve.

"Steve, your wife won't live for 3 years, you just have to endure it for 3 years! After that, you can have a wedding! There is another sentence that I don't know whether to say or not... Forget it, I'll be blunt! ”

Instead of selling Guanzi, it is better to tell the truth, so that the prince can be prepared for the future.

Still the magical cabinet beside him, Ted reached out and took out a document from it and put it on the table, pointing to the data on it and slowly explained: "Steve, your lady comes from a family of counts in the middle of the country, and is the last daughter of their family, and the parents of this daughter are the earl, and the earl's own sister, these two are still twins!" ”

These things are all too common in Steve's opinion, and it is common for siblings to intermarry in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline.

So he frowned and asked suspiciously, "This... What does it mean? This is just a very common thing, in order to guarantee the purity of the bloodline! It's necessary! ”

Telling the prince about this now is tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, Ted simply skipped this step and spoke directly with the data: "It's too early to talk to you about the principle, then I'll tell you about the family history of this earl..."

"Look here, they don't live longer than 30 years old, and your wife, she should be 28 years old this year, according to the list above, she will live to be 30 years and 8 months at most!"

"Another point, that is your son, judging from the report carried by your guards, as well as your son's portrait and medical history, the situation is not optimistic!"

As he spoke, Steve sensed that something was not quite right, and he interrupted Ted in time to ask, "Wait a minute, you said my guard?" What does that mean? ”

Ted rolled his eyes, he had forgotten about it, and Steve was so obsessed with Vazena's gentleness that he didn't even bother to check what his guards were doing...

"Ahh If you don't say I forgot, I should have told you about this a long time ago! You said it was all your people who came with you..."

"But through our statistics... In addition to you and Leonardo da Vinci, there are 91 people in your entourage, of which 68 are the eyes of your brothers, and 3 are spies planted by the church, that is, there are only 20 of your own people. ”

"This..." These words made Steve break out in a cold sweat, originally he just wanted to give Wa Zhai Na a promise and a home for Aquaman, but he didn't expect to have so many 'unexpected gains'!

With her delicate mind and intuition, Vazena immediately noticed Steve's abnormality, she took out her handkerchief, sat in his arms, and gently wiped away the cold sweat for him.

"Can you tell me how you found out that these guards have ghosts?"

After Ted's multiple screenings, he found a lot of eyeliners who were loyal to him and very smart, they were everywhere, scattered in all corners of the city, whether it was the employees of the bubble tea shop, the guards guarding the city, or the old lady sitting quietly on a bench.

"I won't hide it, because your people are wandering around my territory, drawing maps, sneaking around outside the newly built factory, such an obvious move, I'm not stupid, it's hard not to catch it!"

This kind of espionage, placed somewhere else, no one cares, but in the north... These people will not be tolerated, because no one wants the secrets of the North to be revealed!

If there is a conflict with the interests of other nobles, then there will be a big trouble!

Hearing this, Steve was momentarily speechless: "This..."

Ted is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, so he interrupted Steve in time: "I don't blame you, because it's not your fault, and one more thing, that is, your guards have been replaced by my own people, and they will follow you back to the palace and protect you in the light and in the dark!" Just use this! ”

After saying that, in order to give Steve confidence, Ted took out a weapon from the mysterious cabinet next to him...

Compared with the previous small and delicate Colt M1911, or the thick and heavy Garand M1, this one in Ted's hand is of moderate size, for strong people, not only can be operated with one hand, but also with both hands, if you wear a windbreaker, you can even hide 2 in the clothes!

Just by glancing at the big baby in front of him, Steve sank, he pointed to the shiny weapon in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Can you give me one?" ”

Ted didn't sell it, or sit on the ground, he smiled and put the weapon on the table: "You can use my weapons, but if you want to use this Tommy submachine gun, you have to pass the exam first!" ”

"Exams?"

"Yes, including a written test, a psychological test, and finally a weapons test!"

"No problem! I know the power of this thing, and I'm going to study it! But can you explain why this weapon is so big and round? ”

Ted took the weapon, smiled and removed the drum to pull out a pistol magazine and slotter.

"These two, you should be familiar with them, one is a 7-round magazine and an 8-round clip, and my new weapon has a 20-round magazine and a 30-round magazine!"

As he explained, Ted pulled out the magazine from under the table, then pulled out a few more drums.

"In addition to that, there are 50 rounds and 100 rounds of drumming! As long as you hold down the trigger and don't let go, you can fire 50 and 100 rounds! ”

After hearing this explanation, Steve's eyes widened and he asked, "You mean, this thing can fire 100 bullets in a row?" ”

"Of course! There is an old saying in our northern borders, God creates inequality, but guns in the north make all people equal! ”

This sentence was originally from a Colt advertisement, and Ted changed it to use it like this, and it seems to be very good as an old saying in the North.

When he heard Ted use 'God' to make fun of himself again, Steve couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Blyat! Monsieur Count, I don't believe in God anymore, I love my wife, Lady Wazhena, please don't use God to stir up a wedge between us! He's barren! ”

Such a serious remark made Ted feel uncomfortable, and he took great pains to make Steve no longer believe in immortals, with only half of the effect, and Wachena just played her personal strengths, and treated Steve well: "Okay, you come with us in the afternoon and train together..."

"As for the wedding mentioned before, Steve, you'd better wait two years, even if you slap me, I still have to tell you the truth, your son and his mother are only two and a half years alive at most, these two years, treat them well, don't leave regrets, two years later, I will hold a wedding for you that everyone will remember!"

Ted's words, even the wild boars running wild in the vegetable field couldn't pull it back, so Steve spread his palms and responded with a smile: "That... I'm waiting? ”

"No problem!" After saying this, Ted glanced at his watch and asked tentatively, "Have you had lunch?" If you haven't eaten, come to my house to eat? How is it? ”

"Alright, let's go!" Steve took Wachena's little hand and picked her up, followed by an affectionate kiss.

As a qualified lord, Ted had to remind the two of them about something: "By the way, Vazena, are you pregnant for the first time?" ”

This sensitive question made Wachena blush, and he took Steve's hand and said shyly, "What are you asking me about this?" It's a very personal question, okay? ”

In fact, Wachena is indeed having children for the first time... In the previous hundreds of years, she was just playing, not serious, and she didn't know what to pay attention to next.

Looking at her expression, Ted knew everything, he shook his head, and once again with that serious look, he said seriously: "I just want to remind you that after three months of pregnancy, it is best to bear with it, if you want the child to survive, pay attention!" ”

Wachena thought it was a life-and-death event, and she was so frightened that her eyes widened and waited for the trial: "I thought it was... Scared my mind! ”

She had already asked the elders about what Ted said, and when she knew what Ted meant, she shook her head and sighed, "Your lordship, you underestimate me too much..."

As she spoke, she picked up the Coke cup in front of her, deftly rolled up a piece of ice from it with her tongue, put it in her mouth and ate it.

Ted was embarrassed and could only change the subject: "Okay! When I didn't say so, then come with me and try my wife's handiwork! If I'm not mistaken, I had claypot rice and shrimp dumplings today..."
