Chapter 918: Sea Trial (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lorraine rode into the city in a carriage, and did not go far when he saw a dense crowd of people in front of him, and immediately blocked them behind.
With the development of the city, the traffic in Nidel is now getting more and more congested, and there are many private cars running on the road.
And because there is no powerful strategic weapon such as chengguan, the streets of the inner city are constantly crowded with stalls selling all kinds of small goods, which makes the congestion worse.
However, the Nedel people uphold the usual optimism and casualness, and they don't care about it, just block it, anyway, it's not urgent, it's better to get out of the car at this time and buy some small things.
But the governor's frame is not good, and when the royal knights who escorted it saw it, they immediately raised their voices and shouted loudly Chapter 918 (asking for a monthly ticket).
"Give way, give way. Hurry up and get out of the way, we are royal knights, and we have important official duties on our bodies~!"
Lorraine noticed that they didn't say it directly, and it was the Governor of Lorraine who was sitting in the car. I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
This is also their cleverness, although Lord Luo brought a lot of people this time, but he also visited with microservices. The governor has his own carriage, but that thing is too troublesome, and the retinue in formal clothes has to be crowded with several carriages when he goes out, plus guards or something, the boss has a group of people, it is not as convenient as going out in civilian clothes.
At this time, casually pulling the banner out, forcing those ordinary people to retreat to the side of the road, squeezing like sardines, to make way for themselves, very hateful thing.
What Lorraine hated most in her previous life was the official vehicles on the street, watching them whizzing past in the middle of the road, as if they wished that people on both sides of the road would kneel down to greet them.
Not to mention that in order to meet a certain length, the entire road was blocked for two or three hours, just so that this convoy of such and such a length could pass under the noses of the people at a speed of one hundred and twenty miles.
It seems that if this is not the case, it will not show their first-class breeze, Chapter 918 Trial Voyage (Asking for a Monthly Pass) Full of braids to pave the road towards the loess, and the style of sprinkling the street with clean water.
Those who are in a hurry to go to work and send their children to school will not scold their mothers at them?
Grassroots, Lorraine is very open to these, and is not in a hurry to save the world, and it is nothing to squeeze on the road.
Otherwise, even if the bridge is crossed smoothly, at that time, those dead people will also arrange indiscriminately, and Lord Luo will bully others and make a fortune. In order to cross the bridge by himself, he took a whip and whipped people. And then drown yourself directly with spittle, which is really shameless.
Lord Lorraine is in real power, and he has not yet degenerated to the point of bullying the common people to show his authority.
At this time, those knights saw that the dead people in front of them did not listen at all, and immediately continued to shout, "Get out of the way." We are royal knights, and we have urgent official business on our bodies~! ”
But then, I heard someone in front of me roaring back in a higher voice.
"Shut up~!Which of us doesn't have an urgent matter?"
"The wife of the eldest brother in front is about to give birth, the house of the brother next to him is on fire, and there is a little brother girlfriend who is about to marry someone else, this is to rob the family.
Whose business is not the ...... of burning eyebrows"
“... If you can pass at this time, it will be your turn to say?"
“...............”
Listening to the gossip roar in front of them, those knights couldn't help but lose their voices. People just won't let you, can you still kill them?
The knight at the head looked back in embarrassment, trying to see what Lorraine meant. Do you turn around and go the other way? Or do you wait a little longer? Or do you just say that you will be shameless and let the big guys break through?
Lorraine hesitated slightly at this time, and did not give an order yet. But at this moment, I found that there was already a long queue behind me, and my carriage was already caught in the traffic, and I couldn't turn around at all. The long line of cars stretched all the way to the farthest intersection.
In desperation, he had to sigh.
The knight rode his horse back, saluted the carriage, and said abruptly: "My subordinates are not doing well, please condemn my lordship." ”
Lorraine waved his hand and said, "What does this have to do with you, isn't it just a traffic jam? ”
He paused, then added, "I've been used to it in my previous life. ”
There was some emotion in that voice, and even a hint of nostalgia.
When the knight heard this, he couldn't help but look at him strangely: The traffic jam can still block the nostalgia, and the lord of his own family is really strange enough~!
However, he has long been accustomed to Lord Luo's eccentricity, anyway, I heard that these geniuses are very perverted.
Lord Luo is just a little weird, but he can also say the past.
Therefore, he only thought about it for a moment, and then put the matter aside.
Then he turned his head and ordered his men to guard the carriage closely. Squeezed into the impassable traffic, rubbing forward little by little, stopping and walking all the way.
Leo felt the carriage stop, and couldn't help but feel extremely strange, it had only been half a year since he came back, and Nedel City had become so prosperous now. Stuck in traffic in broad daylight?
That's a good thing, at least no one dares to rob their own bank.
Which grandson had a brain cramp and dared to rob the bank. You will definitely be stuck in traffic and you won't be able to run.
He thought as he opened the window and leaned out to look out.
I saw that the bridge not far ahead was already full of people, and in addition, there were countless pedestrians standing densely on both sides of the river.
These people didn't look like they were stuck in a traffic jam, but they were standing there crowded, craning their necks and poking their heads out, looking into the river.
At the same time, there was a loud noise, and the whole city was buzzing like the grand theater before the performance.
You can faintly hear as if someone is pulling their throats, calling something "can't be opened, can't be opened...............
Got a lot to see?
Second Young Master Lei likes to watch the excitement very much. Even if he is watching a dog fight, he must rush to the first row and grab a VIP position.
Now that there is a lot of excitement to see, how can you let it go?
He immediately pushed the door of the cart and jumped off. Then he ran forward grinning. Running and shouting, "Something's going on, what's going on"
When the knights saw it, they couldn't help but secretly complain.
This young master is really too good at tossing, he used to keep it secret, and everyone only knew that Grandpa Leo went on a business trip. I only heard yesterday that more than half a year ago, he didn't go to prison, and he actually followed Lord Luo to run the demon clan.
After hearing the news, the big guys knelt down directly~!
The god of light is above, it's a demon, there are skeletons and monsters everywhere, and he also ran away when he said he would.
Everyone has usually seen such a bold person, but I have never seen such a bold person in my life~!
I don't know how to write the word death? I don't know that there is a word for death!
And it is said that this little dead fat man also has the same virtue as his father, and after arriving at the demon clan, he also pees wherever he goes, which is extremely arrogant~!
In the Demon Imperial City and Thunder Castle, they have left their own scents. There are no ancients in front, and it is unlikely that there will be comers in the back.
He finally came back unharmed, otherwise a civil war would have broken out in the empire at that time. At the very least, it has to be a tough fight with the Holy See.
Now that he's running away without permission, who should be scared?
This person is so chaotic that if something happens at this moment, Lorraine also jumped out of the carriage and waved to the knights, "You don't have to worry about it. I looked at him. ”
As he spoke, he also hurried to follow.
When the knights saw this, they immediately left three people to watch the carriage and horses, and the rest of the people also turned over and dismounted and squeezed forward in order to protect the two Lorraine.
Leo thrust in and out of the crack with the help of a small nimbleman, and slammed forward.
Lorraine saw it, and had to rush behind and follow closely. There is no shortage of people in the middle. Lorraine had a lot of strength, and directly pushed the top of the way away, causing those people to look at angrily.
Although everyone didn't know the ruthless governor of their own family, they knew that the man in front of him must be a nobleman when they saw Lorraine's clothes and the burly men who followed him.
But they all swallowed their anger, and did not scold out loud, at most glared twice, and scolded a few times in their hearts.
Lorraine followed Leo, huddled through the crowd, and suddenly felt a cool breeze blow in front of her, and it was wide.
Lorraine looked up, only to see that she had already squeezed through the crowd and reached the edge of the riverbank.
The left and right sides were all packed with people.
The banks of the river were all railed with stones, otherwise so many people would have to squeeze half of them.
Those people all looked into the river, and all of them had excited expressions on their faces, as if there was a mermaid song and dance troupe performing in the river.
At this time, Leo had already climbed to the railing with agility, and then looked at the river, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "Wow." Then he pointed to something in the river and shouted, "Boss, look, what is that?"
Lorraine looked at it and saw a medium-sized paddle boat parked in the wide river. There were as many as ten oars on each side, and the heavy oars were all plunged deep into the river.
This type of boating is not uncommon in inland rivers, especially those of the city sheep.
After all, compared to the wind that comes and goes in the city and has no fixed direction, the speed of this kind of human paddling boat is still quite fast.
But strangely, there was no oarsman on the boat, and there was a ...... in the middle part of the boat. A huge boiler.
Next to the boiler, there were three or four other people who were constantly busy.
The boiler was now burning, belching black smoke from the thick chimney.
On the bank of the river opposite Lorraine, hundreds of swarthy and burly men all waved their fists and shouted: "Can't open, can't open, can't open"
And beside them, there were many more people who also waved some kind of bill in their hands, and let out the same high-pitched shout: "Can't open, can't open......"
The voices were intertwined, one after the other, very regular.
Lorraine looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a trace of trance in an instant. This is clearly like a racecourse for betting on horses, and life is full of excitement and excitement.
Leo saw it and thought it was funny, and immediately raised his fist and shouted several times.
But then, he felt that he didn't know anything and yelled, as if he was some idiot, so he couldn't help but withdraw his hand. Then he turned his head and looked left and right.
Immediately, his eyes fell on a middle-aged man next to him who was also waving his fists, stalking his neck, and shouting loudly.
He smiled and waved his hand at the man and said, "Uncle, what the hell is going on?...
The man looked at him very inexplicably, and said, "You don't know?
Leo's little face couldn't help but blush slightly, but it was only slightly red. After all, after following Lorraine for so long, his cheek has also been trained.
He touched his cheek and said, "I watched the excitement, and it was quite enjoyable." I also helped shout two voices. ”
After saying that, he gritted his teeth shamelessly and smiled. Then he went on to ask, "What's going on? ”
The man glanced up at Lorraine, felt a little familiar, thought it was an acquaintance he had seen before, and immediately nodded slightly, and then said: "This is a long story." ”
He paused, then pointed to the strange boat in the middle of the river, and said, "See that boat?"
Leo squinted his eyes and swept it, and then said, "Don't you say, I'm still quite strange, why is there no one on this boat looking at so many oars?"
The man smiled bitterly and said, "This ship was made by the people of the Magic Association. Say that you don't need people, just use this machine qì, you can let the boat go. ”
"Huh?~!!!" Leo's eyes widened suddenly.
The man sighed and said, "You also think it's incredible, don't you? You say, these magicians don't stay well, study how to turn people into toads, or set off fireballs to beat people, and run out to steal people's jobs, isn't it nothing to find trouble?"
If this boat could go without people, wouldn't all the boatmen be unemployed? Where are they going to eat?" he said, pointing to the big men in short clothes and swarthy faces on the other side, and then said: "The boatmen here are all from several gangs, and if they were someone else, they would have come out and beat people away, but the Magic Association has a great business, and it is full of powerful magicians, and it is said that their president and the governor are still ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, the two big clear eyes of the little fat man opposite flashed one after another, if he talked nonsense, it would not be good to teach him badly. Immediately hurriedly said: "It's still a good friend." It's not something they can afford to mess with. So, they all came out, and they waited to see their jokes, hoping that their ship would not go. ”
After speaking, he smiled at Lorraine again, not knowing at all what a dangerous catastrophe he had escaped just now.
Leo nodded heavily at this point, but then looked at the guys waving some kind of bill in their hands, and said, "What about them? Why did they come out and shout?"
The middle-aged man smiled, then flashed the ticket in his hand towards Leo, and said, "See, this is a gambling ticket issued by the Flying Eagle Entertainment Gaming Company."
The ship is no longer human, and it can be driven away by burning such a broken thing. Who believes?
So, everyone bet on him that his ship wouldn't work. ”
Leo suddenly realized, couldn't help but pat the railing, and exclaimed: Who did this, this is also used for gambling, it is really lacking in morality. Uh-huh. When you go back, you must give him a salary increase~!
But then, he saw a crowd of people standing on both sides of the riverbank, most of them waving their fists and shouting "can't open, can't open......
But he became worried, if the ship really couldn't move, wouldn't he lose a lot? What if this is a loss again............... ,
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and then he wanted to wave his fist and shout a few words loudly to cheer up, but when he saw those excited riffraff on the shore, he was worried that if he really called out, those guys might beat him.
But what kind of person is that, little grandfather?
He rolled his eyes, immediately raised his fist, and shouted loudly: "Open move, open move..............."
The word in the middle is extremely vague. If you don't listen carefully, you will ignore the past all at once.
At this moment, a long roar was heard from the boat in the river.
"Woo~~~"
The voice was so loud that it immediately drowned out all the noisy voices.
The people on both sides of the river were silent for a moment, and they all looked at the boats in the river without blinking.
Immediately afterwards, the ship shook and there was a series of booming sounds.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
Immediately, the oars moved slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, lifted up the water under the manipulation of the machine, and then slowly submerged into the water.
The ship also moved slowly.
Everyone on the shore was dumbfounded. stared at this amazing scene in amazement.
A lot of people can't even believe their eyes.
After a while, a voice rang out in the crowd: "Oh my God, it's really moving~!"
At this time, I saw that the oars on the boat were beating the water faster and faster, and at the same time, the speed of the boat was also getting faster and faster. Like an arrow, it galloped forward.
When everyone saw this, they all shouted, and then they all followed the direction of the boat and rushed on the shore.
As they ran, they waved their fists and shouted, "Can't stop, can't stop..............."
These people will never look forward to someone else having something good~!
Leo saw it, but immediately slapped the railing heavily and scolded angrily: "Hell~!!!"
