Chapter 539: The Third in the World
,
After listening to Lorraine's words, everyone felt justified at the moment.
The curse in him was too strange to be solved. But fortunately, it was not about to explode at that time, so it was not in a hurry, and it could be slowly figured out, believing that there was such a long time and so many powerful and powerful people, when the time came, there must be a way to solve it.
Each of these people sitting here is the tiniest group of people at the top of the social pyramid, either princely or more powerful than princes. Their abilities and the resources at their disposal are the most powerful in this era.
Needless to say, Grand Duke Julius had a regular army and militia, with a million strong divisions, and controlled the military and political power of the eastern provinces, and was the second person in the empire after the emperor.
There are also a lot of mages under him, as long as he gives an order, it is for his son-in-law to lift the curse, to ensure that his subordinates will become experts in the curse in an instant, is a small curse still in the matter? Not only can Lorraine be solved, maybe two more can be added by the way.
The Archmage of Lester is now the spiritual leader of the mages, under his influence, now the mages are getting worse and worse, and they will roll up their sleeves and fight with people at every turn, and whatever the leader gives an order, the mages below will naturally rush to do it.
What's more, he is also one of the deans of Maple Leaf Danlin Academy, with a huge scientific research team, advanced research equipment and almost endless research raw materials in his hands, his baby granddaughter was abducted by Lorraine, no matter how angry the old man is, he has to find a way to cure Lorraine.
Otherwise, the delay will be the future happiness of his granddaughter~!
As for Obakhim, that's not to mention, they, the cardinals of the Holy See, do just that, whether it's cursing or lifting the curse, it's part of their professional work.
If you are a little straw man and play with a needle, you will not be doing your job if you leave others alone, but if you put it on these priests, you will study your job hard, and in addition to praise, you have to increase your salary by several levels. Even a big house with three bedrooms and one living room in the imperial capital is not a problem.
If these people can't solve it, then it means that the curse in Lorraine is really unique in the world, and there is really no way.
Of course, there are no absolutes in this world, and after preliminary observations, Obakhim found that this curse in Lorraine was indeed tricky, and even the most high-level professionals thought it was difficult to handle, and Archduke Julio, Baron Roquend, and Lester were all a little worried.
But at this time, no one will say anything to discourage them.
Under Lorraine's persuasion, everyone got up one after another and walked towards the back house.
Catherine had already instructed the guards to prepare rooms for everyone there.
They were not polite at the moment, and they went to their rooms to rest under the guidance of the servants.
The Governor's Palace, which has been remodeled several times, is spacious and luxurious, and it is no longer the cold stone fortress of the past.
Especially when the girls knew that their families were coming, they carefully decorated the Governor's Mansion inside and out, and the girls had their own careful thoughts in their hearts, and they wanted to use the luxurious Governor's Palace to show their families that they were doing well here.
If you want to talk about the Grand Duke Julian, they all know that Lorraine has made a lot of money in these wars.
The Battle of Almohad was the battle of Lorraine's fortune, and even a small soldier in the Maple Leaf Danlin coalition at that time knew that Lorraine's kid was developed.
It's just that Lord Lorraine was quite cunning at that time, and knew that he must not show his wealth, so he didn't wait for those ruffians to see anything, so he pulled all the things into his pocket and hid them, even the Grand Duke Julian only knew that the most valuable things were enough to fit three ships.
This is still the heavy battleship of the Empire.
Although he didn't know what it contained, he was embarrassed to ask, but he knew that even if it was all copper inside, it was already fat.
Later, when the southern expedition to the prairie, Lorraine was full of money, and he solved the problem of the shortage of funds of the Grand Duke Julian by himself.
There are too many treasures to count, rhino horns, ivory, hawksbill turtles, corals, these things used to be Catherine's treasures, but now they have long been out of sight.
When Leo is fine, he takes two diamonds and uses them as glass balls to play with. Otherwise, it is to copy a gold nugget and smash it twice with gold to see if the diamond is indeed the hardest thing in the world, as Lord Luo said.
When everyone saw it, they were all lazy to care about him.
From this, it can be seen how rich Lord Luo is now.
In the words of his old man: There is nothing else, the poor are only left with money~!
Grand Duke Julius and they are all knowledgeable people, especially Baron Rokunde, who deals with money all day long, and his vision is even higher, but he was still shocked.
It wasn't until they walked into the Governor's Palace in Lorraine that they could get a glimpse of the tricks of Lorraine, and the small ornaments that should have appeared in the Almohad Palace were placed on the shelves of the room in a grand manner.
Archduke Julian shook his head and sighed along the way, only feeling that he was too face-saving, and asked Lorraine to ask for less co-payment, as far as the decoration of this governor's palace was concerned, it was to ask Lorraine to ask for two or three times more co-payment, and he also paid for it, and the Grand Duke could only sigh that the girl was outgoing, and her daughter became someone else's family when she was raised.
The more Lester and Obakhim looked at it, the more angry they became, especially after seeing Adele and Hilmelia with their eyes all fixed on Lorraine, the two old men were as angry as the two frogs, and scolded in their hearts: let this kid take advantage of it all alone.
Baron Rokunde is happier the more he looks at it, and the more he looks at Lorraine, the more satisfied he becomes, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it becomes, and he even feels like a confidant to Lorraine.
Although Lorraine also noticed the changes in the Governor's Palace, but the Governor's Mansion is the world of Catherine and her girls, Lorraine let them do whatever they like, Lorraine just has to pay for it, at most after paying the money, to have some mental comfort, such as playing small games that are beneficial to physical and mental health such as the boss flirting with the female secretary.
Through the governor's palace of Guò, everyone now has a deeper understanding of Lorraine's achievements, and is more curious about Lorraine's next moves.
At the same time, there was still some strange wonder in their hearts: Why did they have to wait until the day after tomorrow to hold a grand banquet? According to common sense, shouldn't this banquet be held the next day?
But at this time, they were all extremely tired, and coupled with the troubles of Lorraine's curse, they could not care about this small detail.
After Lorraine settled the visiting parents, she was stunned for a moment, thinking about whether she should tell everyone about the curse breaking method she knew, after all, for this little thing, and those girls have been worrying about Zhong Zhong all the time, as if they couldn't bear it.
But if you don't tell them, wouldn't you just be able to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of their compassion and play some cruel and violent games that are extremely inappropriate for children?
If nothing else, just let Adele say "flax butterfly" in her voice like a yellow warbler, or Catherine in a black queen suit, or Sylmeria in a pure white miniskirt and a female nurse's uniform......
No matter which one of these is achieved, it can definitely make the lord's blood pressure soar to a height of 5,000 feet, which is worth the ticket price.
And once it is, it can all be realized......
Lord Luo fell into a situation of war between heaven and man for a while. There were two villains in his mind who jumped up, one of them was a little devil with a steel fork, and the other was a little angel with a circle of light on his head.
The two of them are using the lord's brain as a battlefield, where they are fighting for life and death. The sky is dark, and the sun and moon are dark......
Just when the lord was in a dilemma and felt a headache, a childish voice came: "Why do we have a banquet the day after tomorrow? Wouldn't it be better to hold it tomorrow?"
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to see a white and chubby little boy, learning his own appearance.
He also frowned on the faint eyebrows that were unique to children, and he held his chubby little chin in one hand and his chubby chin in the other, standing beside him, looking like a thinker. Join yourself as you look at the disappearing figure in the distance.
Lorraine glanced left and right, and then said, "Are you asking me?"
Leo rolled his eyes at the moment and said unceremoniously: "Nonsense~! Everyone is gone, is there anyone else here?"
Lorraine frowned and said, "But when you put on such a pose, I thought you were talking to yourself." ”
Leo snorted reluctantly, then hugged his little shoulders and shook them twice, and said, "Don't you think it's handsome and stinky to pose like this?"
Lorraine smiled wryly.
Leo tilted his head to look at him and said, "What were you thinking just now? Why did you laugh so cheaply and obscenely that you even drooled?"
Lorraine hurriedly stretched out his hand, wiped it on the side of his mouth, and then snorted and said, "It's nothing." Nothing. The rest of the past two days has not been good, and some of them have become a little hot. ”
Leo looked at him suspiciously, and then said dissatisfiedly, "By the way, you haven't answered my question yet, why do you want to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow?"
Lorraine saw Leo's suspicious gaze and hurriedly snorted again.
He knew that this little rascal was not only a small man now, but also had a bad sore on the top of his head and pus under his feet. In case he sees any flaws, when the time comes, this little ruffian will definitely take the opportunity to blackmail.
If it was when, he would have leaked his mouth again, not only would he be ruined, but he would also have to face a large group of women like angry lionesses, and at that time, I believe that the lord would die a miserable death.
Thinking of this, Lorraine shook his head vigorously at the moment, and threw the two villains in his mind to Java.
In order to distract the little rascal's attention, he smiled strangely at the moment, and then whispered: "I sue you, you must not sue others~!"
Leo listened, and suddenly the little tiger's body was shocked, and he came to his senses, and nodded again and again. He solemnly raised his right hand and said, "I promise not to sue anyone else." ”
At the same time, he threw some of his suspicions about Lorraine into the clouds.
Lorraine sighed, and whispered mysteriously: "The reason why the banquet is held the day after tomorrow is, of course, because, we just take this opportunity to receive more gifts~!"
Leo was shocked by the little tiger's body at the moment.
Listen to Lorraine continue: "Those big nobles don't need to say, there must be invitations, and those who don't have money don't need to say. They certainly can't afford it.
And those in the middle who have two money, the little nobles and small landlords who can't find a way. These people are the broadest backbone of the empire.
Those guys are willing to take their lives in order to get a piece of land. Now I'm worried about giving gifts and can't find a way.
If the banquet starts too early, they will not find their way to the banquet. It is estimated that even the heart of death is gone~!
We've given them a chance now, aren't those riffraff crying and rushing over to give us gifts?"
When Leo heard this, his excited eyes gave off more than ten feet of light, and he kept rubbing his little fat hands, and said, "I'm forking a circle, and our business is here again~!"
These days are patronizing the war. Even doing business, such an important thing, was neglected.
Passed, passive~!"
Speaking of which, the little grandfather even stomped his feet in pain.
He didn't hesitate at the moment, and as soon as he turned around, he hurried out, shouting as he ran, "Leave this matter to me." Asking for bribes and gifts, the company's public relations department is the most proficient. You just sit here and wait to receive the gift~!"
As he spoke, he was already like a rabbit with an arrow in his buttocks, and he rushed out. Go straight to the headquarters of the Flying Eagle Company.
Lorraine saw it, and then had to smile bitterly again.
Leo, the little rascal, doesn't value money himself, and when he gets it, he just throws it around. But when it comes to making money, the eyes are shining at the moment.
Perhaps, at this young age, he has already returned to the basics, reaching the supreme realm of 'no knife is better than a knife'.
It's not money that is earned, it's the pleasure of making money~!
It's not a bribe, it's the satisfaction when you take a bribe~!
But at the same time, Lord Lorraine is also extremely relieved.
Although Leo is only a young age, he doesn't know much about other things. But he also has a wealth of experience in business, and even a great talent.
Pretending to be a ghost and fooling others is especially powerful, and it can be understood at one point.
Last time, in order to do business, he blatantly gave the kickback to his father.
Moreover, in addition to him, the public relations department of Feiying Company has also been trained for a long time in accepting gifts and bribes, and has a complete set of operating procedures.
For example, opening an antique shop in an inconspicuous place with a large number of rare and peerless cultural relics in it.
Like 'the bowl used by King Wen of Zhou, the charm value can be increased by 50 points', 'The fishing rod used by Jiang Ziya for fishing, the luck value is increased by 30 points', 'The staff taken by the first Pope Xi à Rock St. Paul Duolu and Bao Ge, the staff of the Holy Power Restoration fù speed plus 200 percent', 'The last one left by the earth-shattering and peerless super demon King Sauron, the magic ring with stealth effect'......
I went in suddenly, and I thought I had entered the pocket store of the machine qì cat.
But if you take a closer look, you will find that these rare treasures don't need to be identified, even the aunt who sells vegetables will know that this thing is sold for three out of ten copper plates in the market, and it also brings a beautiful cabbage that Miss Angelina once kissed.
But in it, each of these is priceless. Just the series of zero words on the price tag is enough to kill the dog's eyes alive~!
Although everyone who bought it knew that this was Sun Erniang's steamed bun shop that had entered the cross slope, the black shop that couldn't be blacker anymore, and it was going to be slaughtered alive. But they can only pay obediently. After buying something, I sent it to the little grandfather.
With this method, Lord Luo effectively avoided the censorship of the Imperial Supervision Department. No matter which bastard guy who doesn't have long eyes comes to investigate, Lord Luo can also take out those rags, pile them in front of that stupid fork, and tell him confidently: "Look~! It's just this pile of things, and they all add up to not enough for the price of a silver coin." It is completely not up to the standards set by the Empire for bribery or anything.
Although there have been rumors in the outside world, saying how I am sir, and giving me a very bad nickname, but this qiē is all slander~!
It is a handful of terrorists with ulterior motives, deliberately fabricated by evil forces, in a vain attempt to destroy the good situation of our empire~!
But I know that the bright-eyed masses of the people will not believe their nonsense at all.
Everyone knows: Lord I have always been as clear as water and as clear as a mirror. High conduct, clean sleeves, honest and cheap...... Uh, bah, bah, honest and honest~!"
(Hey, who's who, don't spit out here~!)
Don't spit ...... Ah, my floor~!
Bastard~!
Sir, I must fine you for bankruptcy~!)
As for being honest and honest, dedicated to the public, selfless, loving the people, serving the country and the people, doing his best, and then dying...... (500 words omitted here) Why does Lord Luo have so much money, and it seems to be from unknown sources?
The lord also told him very justifiably at the moment that all the money was earned by letting his family open a shop.
Even if the empire is in charge, all of these are accountable and innocent. Moreover, there are regular invoices, and the annual taxes are paid in full and on time, which is completely law-abiding and operational, and is a tax model enterprise every year. What can you fault with it?
As for why a broken bowl is sold for 50,000 gold coins?
This is a cultural relic, do you understand, and in the era of market economy, people are willing to buy it, can you manage it~!
His Majesty the Emperor didn't dare to say that he wouldn't let people open a shop and do business, but you were arguing here, what do you mean, could it be said that you have more power than His Majesty the Emperor? What do you want to do?
Do you want to rebel in such wanton and reckless acts, fabricating charges, committing crimes, framing important ministers of the empire, and making enemies of the vast number of imperial bureaucrats?
This big stick came down, not to mention a mere broken prosecutor, even if it was the prime minister in person, he was going to be scolded with his tail between his legs, and the wolf bèi fled~!
Leo trotted all the way to the headquarters of the Flying Eagle Company, where he commanded the work of receiving gifts.
Lorraine, however, also returned to his room, rested, recuperated, and prepared to slaughter a large sum of money when the time came.
And at the same time, at the other end of the Doge's Palace.
The Archmage of Lester was carefully looking at his most beloved apprentice, and after a long while, he said happily: "Good~!very good~!very good~!"
Speaking of which, even the eyebrows danced. The happy beard was about to fly, and he laughed out loud.
Lester continued: "Lorina, you are truly my good apprentice. I'm going to be a magician so soon. ”
Luo Lina bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Teacher, this is also your teaching." Otherwise, how could the apprentice have made a breakthrough so quickly. ”
When Lester heard this, he burst into laughter again.
Mr. and Mrs. Rokunde, who were sitting next to them, glanced at each other, and they both saw the uneasy look in each other's eyes.
Lester was also unaware and continued, "Lorina, worthy of being my good apprentice. I think it took me twenty years, twenty years, ......."
Speaking of which, he couldn't help but sigh a little when he thought of the price he had paid over the years and the hardships and ups and downs on the road of cultivation.
Next to her, Adele hurriedly interjected and came in, and first shouted: "Grandpa~~!"
interrupted his thoughts, and then she continued: "In the past twenty years, you have not been in vain. Think about it, which magician can directly activate the peerless forbidden spell as soon as he appears?"
Lester stroked his beard at the moment and said proudly: "Not a single one~!"
Everyone didn't expect him to be so categorical, and they couldn't help but be stunned and looked at him.
Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Lester blushed at the moment and muttered in a low voice: "I've counted this several times, haha, hahaha......"
"......" Everyone was silent at the moment.
Adele looked at her grandfather, and she also felt a sense of weakness. But then he smiled and said, "So, this shows that you are the best." ”
Ever since Lester became a forbidden spell master, it's a stinky fart. It's just empty-eyed, and he often runs to show off his old classmates. But this time, he was rarely modest, and said seriously: "Dai'er, you are wrong about this." I'm not the best. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment. It's all strange: Is this old guy modified?
Immediately afterward, Lester snapped his fingers and said, "Five hundred years ago, there was a great magician of Strathra who once summoned a meteor rain and destroyed an entire city of the undead.
Nine hundred years ago, Maxvid used the collapse of heaven and earth to destroy a large mountain, blocking the demons from the mountain trail of Mount Boral and bypassing the Alabesian Mountains, which are difficult for birds to cross. Rush into the best of humanity. Saved the human world.
With the great feats of the two of them, in comparison, I can only be ranked third~!"
Speaking of which, Old Lester was even a little embarrassed, and lowered his head to look at the tips of his shoes.
"......" Everyone was speechless for a while.
Baroness Rokunde had a headache, and kept pressing her hand on her temples and rubbing them vigorously.
At the same time, she exchanged a look with Baron Rokunde, and both decided that Lorina must not be allowed to continue like this. It's best to find a way to bring her home~!v
