Chapter 127: Wildfire City Lord
Chapter 127: Wildfire City Lord
Lord Myer Green squinted his eyes and watched a luxurious chariot that was more than three times larger than an ordinary carriage slowly coming, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, especially when he was driving two blue-black terrain dragons, which was the royal car used by St. Yarra the Great when he went out on patrol!
I have long heard the information that the relationship between this Duke of Piaoxiang and His Majesty the new Emperor, the most famous gentleman in Yanjing in the past, is extraordinary, and now it is said that it is not true, and even His Majesty the Emperor has given this young imperial duke.
But he couldn't help but look down on Lear, is he a favorite of the emperor?
It must be said that the lord of Myr Green was deeply poisoned by the ideas of the nobles of the empire, and the nobles paid more attention to the background of the gate valve, and over time, the major empires gave rise to a discipline specializing in the study of the history of the nobility, heraldry. Many scholars have devoted their lives to heraldry, such as the meaning of an iris on the coat of arms of a noble family, and which ancient noble coats of arms can be wrapped around a circle of thorns......
None of this is sloppy, for example, the family crest of Lord Myr Greene has a small golden crown motif, indicating that his distant clan once had royal blood......
A person who has just climbed from the commoners to the aristocracy is not taken seriously, and will even become the object of exclusion and ridicule of those old nobles with a long history and deep-rooted.
In their eyes, upstarts like Lear are synonymous with buns, nouveau riche, and turtles from the countryside. And Myer Green has always regarded himself as an old aristocrat with a noble status and aristocratic etiquette.
"Lord Duke, Meier welcomes me late, and I ask for forgiveness, hehe......" The Wildfire City Lord smiled and greeted Lear, saying some unnutritious polite words, "Your arrival, my burden is much lighter, and when I get to the City Lord's Mansion, I will immediately hand over everything in the province of Coron to you......"
Lear laughed innocently: "Thank you so much to the city lord, the kid dares to disobey his orders...... others treat each other politely, and Lear can't afford to be a duke, and this thing doesn't have the consciousness of being a duke at all.
Wildfire City was indeed chaotic, and wherever the city lord's car went, under the stern gaze of the guards, Lear still found dozens of fights along the way, and when the crowd dispersed, one or two bloody corpses could often be seen lying in the middle of the road, while the two sides and passers-by were still busy with their own business.
What surprised Lear even more was that there were many orcs and demons in the city that were rarely seen in other parts of the empire, and Lear even saw a rock giant with a tall body......
This is really a city of chaos, Lear said in his heart, Wildfire City is already in chaos, I don't know what kind of scene his territory is, and the Floating Fragrance Plains.
In the Lord's Mansion of Wildfire City, which was sturdy and tall, like a small castle, Lear held the booklet of the Coron Province's tax collection and treasury surplus sent by the Lord of Mayr Green, with an angry look on his face.
"Damn, there are only more than 10,000 kilograms of grain in the treasury of a province?60,000 gold coins?is this a province or a town......" A nameless fire gradually flared up in Lear's heart.
The city lord of Mayr looked embarrassed, but he was secretly proud in his heart, he had long known that the new lord was about to take office, so he moved the treasury of the province of Coron completely, not only the food was only a little symbolic of the surname, but even the armor, weapons, and arrows in the arsenal were also removed, and now in the treasury of the province of Coron, even the rats have begun to move.
"Lord Duke, you don't know, over the years, the province of Cologne has been unable to make ends meet, every year we in Wildfire City have to subsidize a large amount of gold coins to maintain the operation of the province, and the soldiers of the 'Red Tiger Legion' still need us to supply, if this continues, our Wildfire City will also go bankrupt......" The mouth of the city lord of Myer twitched, and he poured bitter water.
"Well, in that case, I would like to thank Your Excellency the City Lord......" Lear calmed down in a blink of an eye, and said sarcastically, now he must not turn his face with this greedy and cunning city lord, his foothold is not stable, if he offends these local snakes again, it will be even more difficult to develop in the future. And he still doesn't know if this cunning city lord has hooked up with the eldest prince......
"Old thing, how much did you swallow today, in the future, the master must let you vomit it twice!" Lear said with hatred in his heart, but the honest smile on his face became even stronger: "Lord City, in the future, the province of Cologne will develop, and I will definitely compensate you for your losses......"
The old butler Rocky saw Lear's indifferent and willing to be deceived, he couldn't help but be anxious, and quickly pulled the corners of his clothes, and suddenly he inadvertently saw a trace of coldness flashing in the depths of Lear's eyes, and immediately stopped talking, it seems that the lord is not confused by the illusion, but he doesn't understand why the lord doesn't turn his face and ask for what belongs to him, the duke's title is several levels greater than this hateful city lord, he is just an imperial viscount.
After saying goodbye from the City Lord's Mansion, Lear's face immediately became gloomy, there was only an empty shelf in the province of Cologne, and if it was to fully resume its operation, it would not be enough to throw all the gold coins he brought into it!
"My lord, why don't you ......," the old butler asked unwillingly.
Lear snorted and said, "Rocky, although you are very proficient in housekeeping, this is politics, vile and ugly politics! What can we do with this city lord now? He is not under the jurisdiction of the province of Cologne...... It's just to turn their faces, they have tens of thousands of city defense troops......"
"Gandalf, let's go to the little shop you mentioned, find the map, and set off for the province of Coron, I'm afraid that if it's any later, the rats in the warehouse will starve to death......," Lear said.
"As you wish, my lord. The old magician bowed and led Lear and his party out of the City Lord's Mansion and walked outside.
The Wildfire City Lord Mel Green looked at the figure of their group in the distance, and sneered, it was really a bunch of gentlemen! Such a stinky brat would dare to come to Piaoxiang Pingyuan, and in less than three months, they would run back and hug his thighs and cry and shout for him to take over the province of Cologne again.
Behind him, a thin butler-like person turned around and said, "My lord, the people sent by the eldest prince have been waiting for more than ten days, do you want to meet him......
"No, no, no, I can't see him for the time being, the empire is in an eventful season, we have to wait a little longer......" A dark cloud appeared on the face of the city lord of Mayr: "Now is not the time for us to express our support, hehe, politics! Noble and great politics is a matter of standing in line in many cases, and if we stand on the wrong side, there will be no room for maneuver! And now that we are silent, we can hold a heavier weight in exchange for greater benefits......"
