Chapter 544: Night Banquet

After two days of inactivity, the "Celebration of the Victory of the Naian Expeditionary Force" presided over by the Governor of Naian Province, the conqueror of the savannah, the savior of the tragic fate of the orcs, and the Earl of Lorraine, the god of war of the flying eagles, finally opened lively

I heard that this "party" will be organized by Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine herself, and Miss Adele will be the chief director and artistic director of the party, bringing together the famous singers and dancers of the empire

It can be called an unprecedented scale and a luxurious lineup~!

At that time, not only all the generals and meritorious personnel of the expeditionary force led by the governor of Lorraine presided over the party, but also the grand duke Julio, the deputy minister of the treasury, Baron Rokunde, the forbidden spell wizard Rest, and the sleeved archbishop Obakhim, which were all well-known figures on the mainland

For this scale, this style, Ney'an's characters with heads and faces all sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze inside

What's more, it is said that there are a large number of prize quizzes in the middle of the conference, as long as you pick up your mobile phone...... Uh, Bah, Bah...... As long as the people attending the banquet spend three more gold coins to buy a number ball

Then when the number ball is drawn, answer three questions randomly, and there will be a mysterious gift package with a maximum value of 999 yuan sent by Lord Luo himself

Nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan, worth nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan~!

There is only one chance, and you should not miss it~!

......

Picking cheaply has always been one of the human nature, otherwise, even now, there are still so many people on the street who have been cheated out of their money by the simplest 'picking bags and sharing the spoils' scam

This situation is no exception in this empire, and in this human world

After such a publicity by the Flying Eagle Company, everyone was crazy at the moment

Unbeknownst to them, this is one of the marketing strategies of the Flying Eagle Company

The meaning of this so-called highest value actually refers to only one copy, or something that cannot be stored at all

Everyone spent money, and after trying to answer the questions correctly, the most prize, that is, produced by the Flying Eagle Company, was overstocked with a roll of toilet paper that could not be sold and was about to expire

But that's enough to make these riffraff happy for half a year

Who of these old people has ever seen such a snow-white and soft paper

Traditionally, paper is one of the most precious things

Inherit the culture

Now that the paper is so white and so soft, they are all happy and crazy at the moment, and some people even regard the paper as a family heirloom and offer it

It wasn't until later, when people understood the real purpose of the paper, that these guys were very embarrassed and became a joke

But even so, they are proud enough, and every time they talk about it, they pat their chests and say: "We are the first batch of trial customers designated by Lord Luo"

No matter what kind of treasure the paper wipe was before, as long as this word came out, it must be that everyone around them was in awe and then looked up at this heroic and extraordinary uncle at a pure forty-five degree angle

Some time ago, an invitation to the "Celebration of the Victory and Triumph of the Naian Expeditionary Force" became the hottest focus

The person who got the invitation regarded it as a kind of bragging capital, proudly showing off to others, "What a glory it is to be invited by the Governor of Lorraine, I will frame the invitation when I go back, as an heirloom, I must ask for instructions early and report late that I think I am a big man, and I didn't get the invitation but I was in a hurry, this is not just a question of an invitation, this is a face issue related to identity and status, everyone is also a celebrity, why does he have me, what will everyone think of me when I go out in the future?"

This is just a battle for face, and the deeper meaning is still for the sake of - land~!

Land, that's enough to drive anyone crazy

Even wild beasts, such as lions, tigers, wild boars, etc., know to patrol their territory every day and pee on the border to clearly mark their ownership

Now, although this is a party to celebrate triumph, everyone knows in their hearts that this is a spoils sharing meeting for the victors

The fact that thousands of people who had subscribed to the Lorraine War bonds were among the invitees was obvious

Those who had spent a lot of money on war bonds were eager to exchange their debts for land, especially in the limited amount of the best land in the prairie, namely the area around Star Lake

Lorraine stationed heavily on the fertile land along several rivers, just as George W. Bush did when he defended the Iraqi oil town of Kirkuk: preferring to abandon Baghdad and let the opposition bomb and create riots and terror, but to ensure the stability of these areas

The simple reason is that these places are really in the interest of the warmongers

Even before the war, those masters had already demarcated the land plot, and this piece belonged to me and that piece to him......

Similarly, in Nai'an, all the land with abundant water and grass is extremely sought-after

If you have fast hands, and if you lose half a step, you will only be left with the scum left by others

The people who held the war bonds in their hands knew in their hearts that since it was a triumphant celebration, those of them who had purchased a large amount of debt and provided funds for military operations were also considered meritorious personnel, and Lorraine naturally wanted to commend them

And the easiest way to recognize them is to exchange their bonds for land

Moreover, the land on the grassland can be described as boundless, and even if all of it is converted into land for creditor's rights, there is still a large amount of surplus

Now, even the aunt who sells vegetables on the street knows that real estate is the most profitable industry~!

Danfan has two surplus money in his hand, who is not mentally active?

Everyone is now staring at these lands like jackals circling around corpses, and their eyes are dripping blood~!

They just waited, looking for an opportunity to get in touch with the upper echelons of the Flying Eagle Company, so that they could get some land, but they were also miserable

Now that this great opportunity has been delivered to the door, how can you not take advantage of it?

Lorraine and Leo had already done a trick of throwing bait to lure them in, leaving time for these thoughtful people to move

Sure enough, the gift given to His Highness Leo by these people who were looking for a way to get an invitation made the little boy close his mouth with joy

can make Leo, who has always prided himself accustomed to seeing big scenes, so happy, you can imagine how much this thin invitation has risen in the market of Neyan

The sleeve-colored invitations were printed on the finest parchment paper, and in the center was a line of gilded letters reading "Celebration of the Victory and Triumph of the Naian Expeditionary Force", which was puffed up high on the paper to the touch, and the golden light reflected in the sunlight pierced people's eyes

The outline of the prairie is printed below the golden letter, and it is clear at a glance that the person who got the invitation, the governor of Lorraine led the imperial regiment to get what a huge piece of land in the second half of the invitation, and it is eye-catching that Lorraine revealed his divine might in the battle of the steppe, and the artillery

The invitation is still rolling in the gold edge, and it is heavy in my hand

At the beginning, Leo and Vera were distressed to spend so much money to make these invitations

But if there is a give, there will be a return

Take out such a beautiful invitation, if you don't take a thousand gold coins as a gift, you will feel embarrassed

In case you make the little grandfather Longyan unhappy, he will be unlucky in the end

After everyone figured out this truth, they all took out the fearless spirit of not being able to give up the child and not being able to trap the wolf, and smashed the gift into it

Although it is unknown how much gift Leo received, in the past two days, his little family will salivate and laugh happily even in a dream

Leo shouted for Lorraine to keep this delicious party going, at least once a month, no~!twice, ah~no~! three times

But when it came to three times, Leo was so excited that he raised four fingers

Vera next to her looked at it, sighed softly at the moment, and then raised her hand and gently and firmly pressed down one of the four fingers of Leo's little paw

Leo didn't care, and at the moment he bared his little white teeth and grinned shamelessly

Catherine next to him was dressing him in a festive costume, and when she saw him writhing indiscriminately, she was unceremoniously slapped when she raised her hand, and then shouted angrily: "Don't move~!"

The poor and dignified chairman of the Flying Eagle Company is hundreds of gold coins every minute, and such a big official is honest at the moment and is at the mercy of him

Lorraine looked at the pitiful appearance of this child from the side, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, it was obvious that a fat, innocent and cute dead little fat man had to assemble a lot of things at this moment

Shiny collar badges, lace false sleeves, lace chests, small waistcoats embroidered with countless patterns, small blue velvet coats and small gloves made of deerskin

There is also the Imperial Royal Eagle emblem on the chest

A thick layer of head oil was smeared on his head, and the oil was so bright that even if a fly landed on it, it would definitely fall on his heels

The front hair was covered with a beautiful little parted hair, and the hair was glued together with the oil, and the white scalp could be clearly seen

It gives people a very dingli, very beachy feeling

The extra long hair in the back was not cut off, and a small ponytail fluttered back and forth with his head

A wide belt was tied around his waist, and he was equipped with a short sword on the left and a short sword on the right...... Pin a small pistol

It's not very coordinated

Catherine also noticed this, hesitated for a moment, and then drew his pistol

Leo was shocked at the moment, jumped to grab it, and said, "Return me, I won't pay me back, I won't go today, or I'll make trouble for you......"

Hearing his threat, although Catherine was unwilling, in order to take care of the overall situation, she still snorted coldly at the moment, and then inserted the pistol back and said: "You give me honesty today, if something goes wrong, be careful that I pick your skin~!"

As he spoke, Leo skillfully dressed him, and was so breathless that he could hum like a pig in a low voice, but because he had a pistol in his hand, he didn't dare to make any other requests, otherwise he would have to suffer again

At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door

Immediately afterward, Adele dressed in a gorgeous costume, holding a small ivory fan in her hand, walked in with a brisk step, and old Lacey hurried to follow with a cane

As soon as Old Lester entered, he found a chair and sat down

While resting, he complained, "Dai'er, you ...... You are a bad girl, and you don't pity your poor grandfather...... I almost couldn't keep up with the rush I went."

As he spoke, he gasped for breath

Adele spit out her dexterous tongue at the moment, and then turned back with a smile and said with a smile: "Grandpa, since this is the case, then don't follow me so closely......"

Listening to her coquettish tone, Lester snorted angrily at the moment, and said: "I don't follow, how can I do if I don't follow, I don't know that the world is very chaotic now, and some people are really bastards~!"

At this point, his eyes slanted towards Lorraine

Although Lorina's incident was not hyped up, everyone here knew it clearly

Although these girls have some opinions about Lorina's opportunity to sneak away and take advantage of the situation, but if they borrow a few more courages, they don't dare to say to their relatives as brightly as her: "We're better~!"

While everyone was envious and jealous, and at the same time, they couldn't help but secretly sigh: Such a fierce and gorgeous, this magician's thinking is really different from ordinary people~!

And Lester, the old guy, since he knew that his most beloved brother was a thief (Lorraine: Hey, you said the opposite~!, he picked his nose and eyes at Lorraine and didn't leave Adele's side for a moment, lest she would suffer the same fate

He didn't know that his granddaughter had actually been in love with Lorraine's two adulterers or something, in short, a series of forbidden scenes for children had all happened

Adele is also helpless against her grandfather, even if she wants to be more ruthless with Lorraine, she can't find a chance

She raised her head, quietly made a naughty grimace to Lorraine next to her, signaled that she was powerless and then turned to Catherine, saw the clothes on her body, stomped her feet in anger, and said in a coquettish voice: "Nicole~! Why haven't you changed your clothes yet, are you trying to make me ugly~!"

As he spoke, he reached out and picked her up, despite Catherine's objections, and walked towards the inner room

Leo, on his side, was out of trouble, let out a long breath at the moment, and then regardless of his image, he lay down on the chair with a big grin and looked at Lorraine next to him with envy

As the governor, Lord Luo deliberately wore a military uniform in order to avoid trouble, which is very simple and generous, and it is also very convenient

At this time, Lester came over and saw Lorraine, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and then snorted angrily: "I heard that you also lined me up at your banquet, but I didn't promise to participate."

Lorraine smiled bitterly at the moment, but he knew that at that time, in order to persuade the great magician to participate in the banquet, Adele used his old man's beard as a threat, and he pulled out several roots, which made the old guy agree, but he didn't expect that at this time, he turned his face and refused to admit it

He was just about to open his mouth to warn, or more accurately, threaten the poor old man

Leo next to him was very knowledgeable, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, we have prepared an appearance fee for you."

Lester glanced at the little fat man with great satisfaction, and then lengthened his voice, "If I don't give much, I won't go."

After speaking, he glanced at Lorraine contemptuously, which means that even if he is a blind man, he can see it: Look at a person as big as you, there is no child who is sensible~!

Lorraine was momentarily stunned

I thought about what an upright person Lester was at the beginning, but I didn't expect that after only two years of work, he had already become such a coffin and stretched out his hand, and he died asking for money~!

Leo grinned and said, "Grandpa, let's not talk about money, it's too vulgar to talk about money"

Lester was immediately stunned, looked at Leo with a smile, and said, "Don't talk about money, then what?"

Leo smiled and waved to the attendant next to him

The guard immediately understood, and immediately brought a large tray from the table next to him and placed it on the table in front of Rest

Lester looked at the thin layer of velvet cloth, and it couldn't be how thick it was, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What is this?"

Leo smiled like a little fox and lifted the velvet cloth, revealing several pieces of crystal clear glass underneath

Lester looked at Leo and laughed, and said, "You grinning little ruffian knows at a glance that it's not a good thing, and you actually take a piece of broken glass to trick people into thinking I don't know?

Buy one piece of five copper plates, and take out a roasted sweet potato."

Leo was in a hurry and said, "Don't just look at the surface."

As he spoke, he picked up the piece of glass, and put it in front of Lester's eyes and said, "Look at it more carefully."

Lester glanced at it casually, but then let out a 'huh' in surprise and couldn't take his eyes off it

Although it was only a thin piece of glass, Lester was surprised to find that after seeing through the glass, he could see everything very clearly, and his vague presbyopia could see clearly again

Even every minute~!

"This thing is a little weird, bring it over and let me take a good look at it"

Lester was eager, and his voice couldn't help but gasp slightly

Leo grinned and handed it over

Lester received it in his hand, and then put it in front of him, looked around and then nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, quite good."

Leo rubbed his little fat hand at the moment and said, "Yes, let's just say that my boss can't be wrong, although I look a little dizzy with this thing, but he said that it must be very useful for you old men."

Lester was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Lorraine, and said, "You made this?"

Lorraine sighed deeply at the moment, and secretly said in her heart: You only think of me now~!

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, the idea I proposed, those people under my command are responsible for making it."

Lester snorted coldly at the moment, and then said, "KitKat is not enough~!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the piece of glass, turned his head and left

Lorraine saw it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly This old guy, if this is really the case, don't use it if you have the ability~!

Leo next to him also shouted again and again, "Grandpa, grandpa, you are mistaken, but you don't use it this way."

Lester was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Leo

Leo sighed, and then said: "You first put the lenses in front of your eyes which two are the most clear to see, and then I will attach the frames to you, so that you don't need to hold them at all, you can directly put them on your nose, which is very comfortable."

Lester was momentarily ashamed, but then, as Leo had said, he chose the lenses for his glasses, and finally put them on with Leo's help

Lester felt a sudden light in front of him, as if the world had become much clearer at once, and he was very happy at the moment

Leo smiled: "Are you still satisfied with this appearance fee?"

Lester laughed at the moment, nodded again and again, and said, "Satisfied, satisfied, I'm very satisfied."

Leo nodded to Lorraine at the moment, and then said in a low voice: "Boss, it seems that there is absolutely no problem for our optical store to open and make money in the future."

Lorraine glanced at him, and said secretly in his heart: Of course, there is no problem with this, not to mention that in this era, everyone who sees presbyopia is all powerful and powerful, and everyone who needs these glasses is the master who doesn't care about money

When the time comes, the knife that slaughters people can be sharpened as much as possible to ensure that it will go down with a knife and cut off a big piece of fat meat fiercely

At this time, Catherine, with the help of Adele, also changed her clothes and walked out of the inner room slowly in full costume

This peerless beauty, charming and enchanting, graceful and luxurious, no matter which one is released, she is also the master of disasters for the country and the people

Everyone felt the light in their eyes at the moment and hurriedly greeted them

Adele looked at the glasses on Lester's nose, smiled at the moment, and said, "Grandpa, what are you carrying?"

Leist's eyebrows fluttered at the moment, and said: "Dai'er, this thing is called glasses, after I put it on, I can see things clearly, it's really a good thing~!"

Adele smiled and said, "Really? That's great, so who should you thank for?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lorraine

Lester was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This...... Of course, I want to thank Leo, but it's nothing, because this is my appearance fee for this banquet~!"

As he spoke, he slammed his glasses down on his nose and tilted his head up

Adele was angry for a while, her beautiful eyes glared at her grandfather without blinking, and said hatefully: "I will definitely pull out your beard when I turn around~!"

Lester shuddered, but it was very difficult for him to say good things about Lorraine

At this time, I heard another sound of footsteps outside the door

Then the Grand Duke, Obakhim, and Hilmelia also walked in

Everyone sat together and talked for a while, and Leo put a pair of reading glasses on Obakhim

The two old men were excited, and immediately sat together, exchanging experiences for a while

While everyone was chatting, Lorraine saw that Shirmelia's face was a little pale, and she couldn't help but say worriedly: "What's the matter?

Shirmel looked at him worriedly, then said, "Nothing"

Lorraine was about to ask further, when he heard a loud sound of horns outside

The banquet is about to start in earnest~!

At this time, everyone did not know that a huge crisis was quietly approaching them...... There are updates to the latest chapters in a timely manner
