Chapter 376: An Unexpected Visitor
,
Sichuan contemporary. The definition of wealth is different. What is a rich person, early this heart union, there is a basket of shells, that is a rich person.
Later, there was a room full of gold nuggets, and it was a rich man.
Later, there were stocks in the Dow Jones, and there were bad ideas in the big Wall Street room, and the idea was to make people fight a world war, and that was the rich man.
Later, there is a property in the second ring road, and it is not mortgaged, that is, the rich people.
But no matter what era it is, as long as you have thousands of acres of land in your hands, even if you don't occupy any of the above, you are also a rich person.
Of course, if you have to get a piece of land in the Himalayas and build affordable housing, that's not the case.
Leo listened to Lorraine's prompt, waved his hand at the moment, and said: "I know, you are not a group of wild boar skins to rob other people's things, but it does sound very cool, according to this method, my Aberdeen steed, can circle tens of thousands of acres of land in one trip."
Lorraine said leisurely: "Tens of thousands of acres of land, what does it mean to the nobles of our empire, you should know?" ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, and tilted his head, but after all, age didn't have a very intuitive understanding of these things.
God sees that the poor grandfather only works when it comes to money, and the brain works. In addition, the addition and subtraction within twenty alone has already angered more than a dozen tutors.
Carter, who was next to him, gasped, shook his head and sighed: "They will go crazy, and the whole empire will go crazy." ”
Then he gave Lorraine a thumbs up and praised loudly: "High, really high." ”
Lorraine looked up at the grassland and said, "You have to believe in the greed of the human heart." Trust me. No matter how vast the grass is, as long as there is an opportunity, the nobles of the empire will also divide it up cleanly.
You also know the virtues of the nobles of the empire, and they will not allow orcs to get their hands on their property until they build farms and workshops here, even if they just put landmarks here. ”
Lu Ou immediately understood.
He "snapped" and smashed a punch into Pingxin, his eyes shimmered, and he said excitedly and loudly: "Yes, when the time comes, they will all get on our thief ship."
Not only can you collect money from selling land, but we have laid this land, so we will set the conditions, and if they want to open the land, they have to use the things of our Flying Eagle Company.
Our Flying Eagle company's security team can provide them with security services
In this way, 1510, 2520"
Leo pursed his fingers, frowned, and thought for a moment, and finally counted all the feet, but still didn't calculate it.
However, although the grandfather is human, he has always been atmospheric, and when he waved his hand, he shouted: "Anyway, a lot of them will leave, and I can almost retire early." ”
Lorraine patted Leo and said, "Okay, don't think so far ahead, the meat hasn't been stewed in the pot yet, you want to eat it alone." Let's wait until the orcs are settled. ”
Leo arrogantly gestured to the south with his middle finger, and suddenly his face tensed. Quickly turned his head to look. But there was no figure of Catherine now, patting her chest at the moment. With a long sigh of relief, I thought: Oh, I'm in the south, and Nicole's fierce bastard isn't here.
When he thought of this, he immediately became excited, stretched out the middle fingers of both hands, and said with an arrogant face: "With the kind of color of a half-orc, I can't pull 300,000 brothers out to cut people, and I dare to say that I came out to mix, thinking that we are grabbing land in front of me?
This time I let them know why the flowers are so red, and they went back to the city. ”
From Lorraine onwards, there are indeed not many people in the military and political system who take the so-called orc coalition seriously, and everyone agrees that they are a trouble, maybe a big problem, but only a little trouble.
The population carrying capacity of the steppe is not high, and it is estimated that the total population of the orcs is only equal to that of the Naians. Moreover, the level of technology is low, in addition to the fact that human life is less valuable than Nai'an, when it comes to the comprehensive strength of the war, it is not at all comparable to Nai'an Province.
What's more, there is also a Ruman, the world's number one power, behind Nai'an.
In that powerful military empire, hundreds of thousands of elite brothers can be mobilized at any time to pull them out to fight, cut people and grab territory.
That's why when Gelba shouted at the humans, saying that the Orc Alliance, and the necromancer, no one took them seriously.
For people like Lord Luo, who are accustomed to being the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the pride of the world is not just shouting slogans, but has been cultivated from the beginning.
Threats like this, come and come, they come every year, this time it's just a little more numerous.
If it were a different guy and Archduke Julius shouted "The Parthian coalition is coming", the effect would be different, and the cheap butcher old man in Lorraine would do his best to kill the eastern provinces and directly cross the border.
Everyone said that the orc coalition was coming, it was coming, but it was like shouting that the wolf was coming, and the wolf just wasn't coming.
Shouting like this all day long, the people on the border were still very nervous at the beginning of the net, but the armed reconnaissance was carried out several times, and they went out three hundred miles, and they didn't even look at the hair of the half-orc coalition, but the tribe that fought the autumn wind caught a lot.
Wang Fa
Now, on the contrary, the soldiers on the border generally have a feeling of "love does not come, and does not come to pull down".
Lorraine and his party solved the problems of the local tribe and set out on the road that day, returning to Nedel City.
When it came, it took a day or two to deal with the matter, and according to the current situation, it looks like ten and a half days. Within a month, the orc coalition would not be able to touch Ness'an's new frontier, and Lorraine would return
Although the carriage ran all the way, it did not seem bumpy. Lorraine leisurely snatched a bag of melon seeds from Leo and put her feet on the seat opposite. Looking out the window at the chaotic road.
On both sides of the avenue were all half-orcs, men and women, old men and children, dressed in tattered fur clothes of half-orcs, slowly walking north.
The male orc carried all his belongings, drove more or less cattle and sheep, and walked with a sullen head, while the woman held or dragged the child, scolding and walking, and in a hurry pulled the child over and slapped it twice, and the children cried loudly.
Not only did these orcs not have the failure of the tribe to disappear, but Lorraine showed that they all had anxious and expectant expressions.
When they looked at the fertile human fields on both sides of the avenue, there was a look of envy and joy in their eyes. There is a lot of hope for the future life.
The human soldiers who were responsible for escorting them saw that Lorraine's carriage was also blocked and ran, and for fear that the lord would find trouble for him, they immediately rushed back and forth like a burning butt, driving the livestock on the avenue away to make way for Lorraine and them.
This is a tribesman from the Abundan tribe who moved inward, and Girba has an old bone and also rides on a horse to cheer up his people.
Wherever Ghelba passed, the orcs shouted, "Machole, Machole." ”
Lorraine and Leo nested in the carriage and judged the orcs' taste in their clothes.
At this moment, opposite them, a group of Praetorian Guard knights was rushing towards them, but they were also blocked in the road, fighting the cattle and sheep on the avenue, waving their horsewhips to drive away the cattle that blocked the road.
The orcs on both sides also hurriedly coaxed their cattle down the road, and for a time people called the horses and the cattle looked like they were in chaos.
After seeing Lorraine's convoy, the Praetorian Guards waved at Lorraine and shouted at the top of their voices: "My lord, my lord." Urgent, urgent. ”
Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned.
The coachman hastily halted the carriage, and the Praetorian Guards hurried to the door, then jumped off their horses, stamped their feet heavily, and saluted. Said: "I've seen adults." ”
Lorraine raised her hand and saluted back, then asked, "What's wrong?"
The Praetorian Guard panted and said, "My lord, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please hurry back, saying that there is an important person coming." ”
"Who are the important people?"
stone
The Praetorian Guard scratched his head and said, "It seems to be the new cardinal." ”
Lorraine was stunned and said, "Cardinal?"
"Yes, Lord in Red," Catherine said absentmindedly, shrugging her shoulders.
Lorraine and Leo received the news and had to speed up. I came all the way back, tired as a dog.
Lorraine lay on the sand and listened to Catherine's introduction, while Vera obediently beat his shoulder and pinched his back, and the comfortable Lorraine snorted vigorously.
"Why are you here at this time?" Lorraine said with her eyes closed, "Wait, I'll lie on the sand, Daile will help me step on it, Vera has nothing light or heavy in her hands."
Vera snorted and snorted. said: "Don't think that if you say this, you can not give money, bring it." ”
As he spoke, he reached into Lorraine's clothes and touched it.
"Dead girl, touch that, Chan"
Before he could finish speaking, Vera had triumphantly pulled out Lorraine's purse, grinned and poured out a gold coin from it, then put the purse in her pocket, returned the gold coin to Lorraine, spat out her lilac tongue at Lorraine, turned and ran away.
Lorraine grinned in pain, Adele threw down the pen in her hand, walked to Lorraine's side and patted Lorraine's shoulder to make him lie down, then kicked off the silk slippers on her feet, and a pair of snow-white and crystal delicate jade feet gently stepped on Lorraine's back.
"Oooh" Shu" Lorraine let out a long groan, his head pressed against the sand, and closed his eyes happily.
Then he said slowly: "We are going to fight here, according to the habit of the bald people of the Holy See, it is not time to wait until the battle is over and then come out to pretend to be merciful, and say something about the Father's estimation that everyone has won." ”
Catherine spread her hands and said, "That's why I want you to come back quickly." I was in the east, and as soon as there was a war, the chief priests on the border ran to Constantine under all kinds of pretexts, and when the battle was over, five people and six men ran back and said that God the Father is with you. It's kind of interesting, we're ready to go to war, they're coming
Then Catherine said meaningfully: "But it's better to come"
Catherine said this, stared at Lorraine and sneered without speaking, Adele also suddenly kicked Lorraine on the back, and Lorraine trembled in pain and was speechless at once.
Two days later, Lorraine and several of his men lined up at the port of Naydel, waiting for the arrival of the new bishop of Nai'an.
The large ship with the white flag of the Holy See had long since turned the estuary, and was now slowly moving its massive body, moving its wings in the center of a group of ships.
Catherine and Adele dressed up and quietly accompanied Lorraine, exchanging meaningful glances from time to time.
According to Catherine and Adele's attitude, they would not have come here to greet the bishop, and Catherine and Adele did not have a good impression of the people in the church.
But Lorraine was very strange that the two of them got up early in the morning to freshen up, followed Lorraine and went out, and when they arrived at the dock, they didn't say a word, but sneered again and again, as if they were ready to fight with someone.
Lorraine's subordinates showed the abnormality of the governor's family early in the morning, and today's two proprietresses exuded an aura of battle, and these people behind them all felt a strong pressure, and they all wisely hid away from Lorraine
The big ship slowly approached the dock, and finally came to a smooth stop, and the sailors got on the gangplank.
A group of people dressed in various costumes walked down first.
There are quite a few people in this group. Carrying a big bag, I jumped on the pier and couldn't wait to look around. Some of them are still making trouble, so uncomfortable.
At the front of the crowd was a mage in a robe, and when he saw Lorraine and the others, he waved his hand vigorously to Lorraine and said loudly, "Hey, we're here."
Then he turned to the crowd behind him and said loudly, "Follow, follow, follow, the Lord has come to pick us up." ”
He walked to Lorraine's side first.
Lorraine, Catherine, and Adele were taken aback at the same time, looking at each other, and Lorraine said, "Lorina, why are you?"
Adele screamed, jumped over and hugged Rollena and laughed, and Catherine followed suit.
The three girls hugged each other and laughed, and after a while, Rowrena pushed Catherine and Adele away, looked at Lorraine with a smile, and said, "Why, don't you seem happy to see me?"
Lorraine smiled and took two steps to hug Lorina. Gently patted her on the back and said, "You miss us to death."
Lorina smiled, pushed Lorraine away, and said, "Phew, eat old lady's tofu." People are fooling you, you can't lose my sister's face. ”
A mage in the crowd suddenly screamed and shouted, "Oh my God, it's really Senior Sister Adele."
Then he hurriedly rummaged through his bag, took out a notebook, rushed to Adele's side, and said, "Senior sister, sign a name." ”
Although a mage was shocked: "It turns out that the rumors are true. Lorraine him,"
The mages collectively turned their heads and stared at Lorraine angrily.
Ah Bi'er smiled brightly at the crowd.
Lorraine smiled wryly, looking at the crowd of people gathered around him, the mages who were staring at him with round eyes. Then he pulled Lorina's clothes and asked in a low voice, "These are all high-level mages?"
"Go, how can it" Lorraine slapped Lorraine and said, "There are ten high-level and more than twenty middle-level." The rest are also this year's graduates. You also know that employment is not good. I heard that you were recruiting, and they all rushed to come. ”
Lorraine said in a big way: "Okay, wrap it up on me."
But why did you get on the church boat?"
Loryna smiled mysteriously, took a step back, looked at Lorraine and Catherine and Adele playfully, and said, "There are too many of us, the boat is not easy to find, and we were delayed for several days, and then I met an acquaintance. We got on board. ”
"Acquaintance?" said Lorraine, tilting her head.
Lorina smiled treacherously like a fox and said, "Yes, acquaintance. ”
At this time, the church personnel dressed in white walked down from the boat, and the chief priest of Silas hurriedly greeted him, and saw a group of priests in embroidered white robes, surrounded by a special person, walking towards Lorraine with the slow pace characteristic of priests.
Unlike the ornate robes embroidered with gold trim by the priests around him, the man in the middle was plain from head to toe, with a wide white robe that completely covered his figure, and a hood on his head that covered his face tightly.
Dressed in white, under the sunlight, it emitted a faint halo, with a divine aura, but Lorraine looked at the person and felt unusually familiar.
Lorraine's heart beat twice, and she instantly felt satisfied, and couldn't help but smile, and said in her heart: "Shirmelia." ”
Catherine pinched her fingers, and with a gaba sound, she sneered, "I knew it was so." ”
Adele stared at the man in the middle of the priest, snorted, and said, "Nicole, let's go." Let's meet this old man. ”
The two girls shook off Lorraine, moved lightly, and walked towards the church procession in a graceful manner.
Lorraine pulled Lorina and asked, "Shilmelia, she, when did she become a bishop?" ”
"How do I know, she resigned and went to the Holy See headquarters when she returned to the academy, and we only met again in Gatting Harbor" Then Lorraine leaned into Lorraine's ear and whispered: "You are here stunned, not afraid of them fighting." ”
Lorraine was stunned, looked at Lorina, grinned, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said unsurely: "No, no." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly chased Catherine and Asher towards the church procession.
When the officials below saw that the governor had greeted him, they also followed the hula and walked over.
Seeing Catherine and Adele walking up with a smile, the two girls were gorgeously dressed and had an elegant temperament, and they knew that they were the rumored two tigress girlfriends of the Governor of Lorraine, and the priest in front of him nodded to the two girls and moved out of the way.
Wang Fa
Sillmelia also saw Catherine and Adele, unlike those priests, she had been with these two girls for a long time, almost six or seven years, and most of the time was in a battle of wits and courage, how do you say that. It's often your enemies who know you best, and for these three girls, that's pretty much it.
Others only see the elegance of Catherine and Adele, but Cielmelia, who has been with them for many years, sees the fighting spirit hidden in the perfect posture of the two of them.
Lorraine, who followed behind, saw the electric light rising between the eyes of the three girls, and once he leaned over, he would be roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, but Lorraine could only rush upward. (To be continued)
