Chapter 644: Three Levels in a Row (Seven Thousand, Asking for Votes)

Lorraine sat in the box, chatting with the men for a while.

Lorraine crossed her legs, glass in one hand and gold coins in the other, listening to the men line up to tell her stories.

He just realized that these men of the demon clan gossiped, but there was indeed enough gossip. And those who come to participate in this competition are for high bonuses, and people who have no insight do not dare to come up here to offer ugliness, these people are all well-informed, and when it comes to it, whether it is the sky, the people are sophisticated, the customs are varied, all-encompassing, and the head is the way, and there are a lot of high-level officials and nobles in the government, and they are vivid.

Although everyone didn't have a good impression of the aristocratic lord in front of them, they all knew that the nobles were something they couldn't afford to provoke, and even daring to show disrespect would cost their lives.

And for the sake of the gold coins, all of them are secondary, and everyone cheers up and uses twelve points of ability to satisfy Uncle Lorraine and earn the gold coins in their hands.

Lorraine also did not refuse to come, leaning comfortably on the soft chair, and placing a large pile of gold coins on the table, so yellow that it almost dazzled their eyes.

As long as it is interesting and has content, the moment is to throw a gold coin over. This led to the crowd becoming more active, and the direct words were pointed at with fingers and spittle.

Lorraine listened to it with great pleasure, and in a quiet moment, he had already completed the initial intelligence gathering.

In the course of these conversations, Lorraine obtained a mixed range of information, ranging from strange local winds to birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, from village riots to the fall of officials, from the lace news of the nobility to the strange secrets of the high priest's canon.

But these messy information, as long as the useless branches and leaves are removed, the clues can be sorted out clearly.

Judging from the intelligence collected, the demons are indeed collecting troops, raising materials, and preparing for a large-scale war.

The purpose is likely to be to cross the sea to the west and attack Guangming Da 6, but this matter has only just begun to prepare, and it can be said that it is only in the initial stage.

Until the internal contradictions between the two major tribes of Thunder and Spirit are resolved, or rather, until they marry and reunite, they will never be able to go on an expedition.

The marriage will take place in September, the golden autumn that represents the harvest, and there is not much time left until now.

First, it would be possible to integrate the interests of all parties and hold a grand wedding that would attract worldwide attention, showing the strength and indestructible unity of the Semitic people, and strengthening the confidence of the people in the expedition and the victory over the damned, splashed and cowardly Bright people.

Second, they can harvest autumn grain and stock up as much grain and grass as possible for future wars.

If it was really a cross-sea expedition, it would be difficult to raise the ships and food that needed to be prepared in a short time.

And in this way, at least you can give Guangming Da 6 a full three months of buffer time. If you count the time for the demons to assemble and sail on the sea, it is estimated that it will be more.

No matter how much the Holy See is, since it has already received the news, in the past three months, it is enough to convey the news, and it can definitely be fully prepared to meet the attack of the demons.

Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but feel more relaxed, at least the matter was already a clue.

But at that moment, someone said, "My lord, do you know? I heard from a dark mage that now the price of the Green Goblin has gone up again. Some people are buying all the green magic spars and spar mines on the market, and now they can't buy them with money, and the price has been speculated to five times, if they can find a source of goods, it will definitely be more profitable than real estate. ”

Lorraine snorted noncommittally.

The man saw that Lorraine's attitude was not good, and immediately said, "My lord, this green magic crystal is the best energy stone for the teleportation array." As long as there is a way, you can definitely sell it for a high price on the black market. ”

Someone next to him laughed and said, "If you can sell it at a high price, why don't you fry it?"

The man's face turned red in a moment's hurry, and he said loudly: "Is this something that can be fried? The mages have already controlled all the magic crystals, and I have been to the Easte Mountains once, and I want to try my luck in the crystal mines, but there are also troops stationed in the local area somehow. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will. It is a capital offense for ordinary people to carry magic crystals without permission. ”

He glanced around, in order to prove that his words were true, and even more so that he could get the gold coin, so he approached Lorraine and said: "I heard that they are making a big teleportation magic array, so they need a large number of green magic crystals, and the places have been selected, as long as they are done, they can teleport a force to the hinterland of the human race at a time, and give them a ruthless blow." It seems that they are going to seize their port or something, but this is a military secret, and it took me a lot of effort to find out about it. ”

Lorraine's heart moved, but on the surface, he was silent, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "I hate mages the most, and this news has nothing to do with us." It doesn't mean much. ”

He looked at the man's disappointed and regretful face, laughed at the moment, threw a gold coin casually, and said, "However, you should catch it." At least you're careful. ”

The man was immediately overjoyed, bowed deeply to Lorraine, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Xie, Lord Xie." ”

Lorraine waved his hand and said, "Next, next." ”

Another person next to him said, "My lord, my news may not be very good, we may be prohibiting alcohol this year......"

"Good" Lorraine clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Why is it not good, the prohibition of alcohol, the more he prohibits alcohol, the more wine I make, not bad." ”

While saying "wise" with smiling faces, these people secretly scolded in their hearts: These dead aristocrats, our unemployment and price increases are all caused by you.

Lorraine didn't dare to ask more questions about the teleportation array, and while listening to him casually, his heart turned sharply: Can you teleport an army of magic arrays at a time? This move is really ruthless.

Typical 'inside and outside, flowering in the center'.

It doesn't even take many people, as long as it can teleport two or three thousand people over in half a day, it is enough to launch an attack on a large city.

Before the demons board 6, they can raid the port that is about to land 6 from the inside and seize the foothold.

It is also possible to assault the rear of the front line of the bright camp when the battle is stalemate, as long as the raid is successful, the supply of the legions on the front line will be cut off, and it will collapse without a fight. This is no less than when the German army bypassed the impregnable Maginot Line. The whole war can be solved at once.

This kind of divine weapon, but how much is this feasible, Lorraine is not clear, and he is not very proficient in magic, so it is impossible to know whether this is true or false?

If it was really possible, then why didn't Pope Urban do it when he went on a crusade?

Thinking of this, he glanced up at Vera, and saw that she was still smiling at the pastries on the table, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment: it is estimated that with the magic knowledge that this lazy aunt and grandmother has learned, it is probably impossible to know.

It is said that Vera dozed off as soon as she took a magic theory class, and was always knocked on the head by the teacher. If only Lorrena or Lester were here.

On the other side, the chief manager was also curious to guess Lorraine's identity, and for a moment he almost suspected that this mysterious adult was a spy sent by the Holy Light 6, but then he dispelled this idea.

This uncle is arrogant and domineering, and has no scruples. How could any spy dare to do this? He came in the car of the city guard, so how could there be a problem with his identity.

Moreover, the information he inquired about was not a precious piece of information that could be kept secret, and these messages could be found by a person with a little attention. Just these tricks can be said to be the Tao, will others not know?

Therefore, he also dispelled the worries in his heart, and laughed at himself in his heart that he was crazy, no matter how he looked at it, he was the eldest young master who had been at home for a long time, and then helped Lorraine take care of it on the side.

And they can't be blamed for that. After all, the concept and knowledge of system intelligence like Lorraine are far past this era.

The real intelligence collection is not a robbery and killing messenger at all, but an acting story such as eavesdropping under the bed, and making the beauty plan to poison the other party.

It's not four young people with muskets and long swords, slashing people all the way from Paris to London, and then staging a lingering and sympathetic, love-hate love story.

Or, it's a handsome man who pours out scum and drives a modified don't touch me to pick up girls, travels all over the world, lives in five-star hotels, can't be killed no matter how you fight, and you can save the world with just a gun......

In any large-scale war, there must be a large amount of material accumulation, personnel transfer, and troop accumulation in advance, and it is absolutely impossible to hide from people.

A good commander only needs to investigate the population, food, weapons, mines, etc., as well as the consumption of materials...... These messages are collected that will not be kept confidential and cannot be kept confidential. It is easy to calculate the size and duration of the army.

And these people, due to the limitation of their vision, their impression of secret agents and spies comes from the bard's performances and singing, or various theatrical sayings and the like.

They still think that spies should be well-mannered and well-dressed, shuttling between dignitaries and dignitaries, stealing information from their secret cabinets, or eavesdropping on their meetings through the walls.

Therefore, even if you want to be on guard, it is impossible to be wary of Lorraine's head.

Lorraine reclined lazily in his chair and listened listlessly for a while, there was no new news, but firstly, to avoid suspicion, secondly, to prevent any important information from being missed, and thirdly, to fully understand the customs of this big 6.

Therefore, he was still patient and continued to listen quietly.

After a short while, I heard the sound of footsteps.

Immediately after, Leo came back sweating profusely from nowhere, holding a large trophy in his hand, and placed the trophy on the table in front of Lorraine with a proud "clang".

Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, only then did she notice that the three of them had eaten all the pastries in the room, and it was obvious that she had just been so involved that she didn't even pay attention to when they were going out.

Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but glare at Leo fiercely. I didn't plan to bring him here, but this rascal ran over with Shiro for fun.

Originally, he still had three chapters of the law with him, and he was absolutely not allowed to run around, but he didn't expect this hooligan to be a mouse, and he forgot about it when he put down his claws. It's just a blink of an eye, and I leave my words behind. I slipped out without paying attention, and I didn't know what was going on.

Seeing Lorraine glaring at him with a vicious face, Leo immediately came to his senses and involuntarily stuck out his tongue. Then he smiled and said, "Boss, don't care, it's too stuffy here, I'm just going out for a walk." ”

Lorraine ignored him, turned around, looked at Vera, and said, "Why don't you take a good look at him, half of this month's salary will be deducted." ”

"Ahh......h Don't blame me for this......"

But turning her head, Vera also glared at Leo fiercely, and said menacingly: "It's all your fault."

I said I wouldn't let you go, you wanted to go. As a result, my salary was deducted.

In order to make up for my loss, all your salary and bonuses this month have to go to me."

Leo was immediately startled, and then exclaimed, "Why? Even if I was punished, I would admit it." But my salary and bonuses add up to as much as your salary. At most, you can take half of it, but why should it all be yours at once? ”

Vera crossed her slender waist with both hands, puffed up her white and tender red cheeks, raised her faint willow eyebrows, and said angrily: "Being fined is a loss fee, isn't there a loss fee for my injured spirit?"

Leo looked at Vera's angry blue eyes, and snorted twice, but because he was at a loss first, according to experience, if he protested again, he would definitely be punished, and finally had to secretly lame, and said stupidly: "Okay, I know." Heart, I won't give you the trophy I won't take, you see, look at it, look at it, baa ......"

As he spoke, he shook the gold trophy in his hand ostentatiously.

Everyone present immediately sweated. What kind of people are these, the education of the aristocratic family has always been like this...... Is it unique?

Seeing this, Lorraine felt that today's harvest was almost over, and it was time to go back, so he took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Forget it, forget it." Don't make a fuss here. Anyway, the story is almost over, let's go. ”

Leo and Vera looked at each other, and then stood up honestly.

Leo knew that he had made a mistake, and now in order to atone for his sins, he ran to the side at the moment, and after eating enough, he lay on the ground with a happy face and pretended to be a dead pig.

Lorraine glanced at the crowd and smiled, "Gentlemen, we'll see you later." ”

As soon as he spoke, he turned around and was about to go out.

The manager looked at the stack of gold coins on the table, there were twenty or thirty of them, and his eyes hurt, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, your money ......."

Lorraine glanced back at it lightly, waved his hand and said, "That little bit of money...... Forget it, if you don't get any money here, share it together. I am your reward. ”

When everyone heard this, there was immediately another burst of ecstasy, and everyone bowed to Lorraine together, and shouted: "Thank you, thank you, your lord." ”

Lorraine waved his hand, and without looking back, he walked out with Leo and the three quickly.

The steward glanced at the gold coins on the table, and then hurried out.

He knew that it was more important to pat Lorraine's ass than to the stack of gold coins. No matter how you look at this uncle, it looks like he's here to have fun, and he is most familiar with this aspect.

As long as you can serve Uncle Luo comfortably, when the time comes, you will be happy, and the benefits you will get will be greater.

What's more, he also believed that with his current status and power, without his consent, no one would dare to mess with the stack of gold coins on the table.

As Lorraine walked out of the theater, she heard footsteps behind her, looked back, and saw that the steward had followed as expected, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He paused for a moment to wait for the steward to approach, and then asked, "By the way, do you know where in this city the best view is?" I want to find a house with a panoramic view of the sea. ”

The manager was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully, "My lord, you are asking knowingly. The house with the most beautiful view of the bay is none other than the castle keeper's house. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but froze. Then he frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Hell, I don't really want to trouble others again and again. ”

The manager grinned at the moment, and said secretly in his heart: I just asked you, and you also said that the relationship with the baby daughter of the city guard is not born yet. Now I don't want to trouble others. I see that you are obviously done playing and want to admit it.

But he didn't dare to say a word, but with great discernment, he stretched out his hand and beckoned a rental carriage. After the carriage was parked, he graciously opened the door for Lorraine.

Leo and White immediately took the lead and climbed into the car.

Vera was also sitting in the car.

"Your Excellency. The steward smiled playfully and whispered in Lorraine's ear, "If you like something new, I can arrange it for you." ”

"Oh?" Lorraine stopped, looked at him with a smile, and said, "For example, I will tell you first, there are really few things in this world, I have never eaten and played, and there are really few things, you have to think about the fate of deceiving me." ”

The manager said hurriedly: "My lord, it's not me who blows, in Caribbean Port, the three sects and the nine streams still have to sell me Mchige a face." For example, the female slave of the elves, guaranteed to be a young and beautiful virgin, some rare treasures flowing from the big family, each of which is priceless, as well as rare magic weapons, all kinds of secret medicines prepared by swamp witches, you know, adults are afraid of that kind of thing, these, I have a way. ”

Lorraine thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not interested, I don't lack these things." ”

The manager was stunned, for for it was the first time he had seen a big man dislike these things, thinking that if he brought it up, those people would become like dogs that smelled bones.

Lorraine saw Vera and Leo looking at herself strangely in the car, so she jumped on the pedal, and then thought of something, turned around, and looked at the main pipe: "Those things are all leftovers from my play, sir, if you really have ...... heart"

Lorraine turned her head to look at him, and saw that the chief steward was looking at him with blank eyes, and said, "By the way, I heard that there is a pirate called Whitebeard on the sea, have you heard of it?"

The steward was shocked, then lowered his head, avoiding Lorraine's gaze, and replied respectfully: "My lord, we are people of the rules, and we don't know those pirates at all. ”

Lorraine laughed and said mockingly: "Rulers? Rulers can't get slave girls and secret medicines, as far as I know, all the unruly things are committed by you rules." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "I also want you to do something bad, but if you have the opportunity, it is convenient to contact them, I have a big business, and I want to cooperate with them." ”

From the elven slave girl and the treasures that flowed out of the big family that the manager just said, Lorraine heard that the guy in front of him definitely had something to do with pirates or thieves, this manager named Mchige was probably the kind of middleman in the city who could get in touch with people from all walks of life in the dark, to put it bluntly, he was a pimp, so he could just take advantage of him.

The manager hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My lord, forgive me...... Forgive me for one more thing, their gang is not easy to mess with, they don't blink an eye when they kill people, and they are used to lawlessness, you ...... But I want to cooperate with them......"

Lorraine smiled and said, "They're not easy to mess with, am I easy to mess with?" Ha, you said you didn't know each other just now, why do you know so much about them now? ”

The steward immediately bowed his head and remained silent.

Lorraine laughed and said, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you." ”

As he spoke, he took out another bag of gold coins from his arms, then threw them over, and said, "Next, this is a deposit." As long as you can help me get in touch with them. I'll have a reward when I get back. ”

The manager took the money in his hand, and immediately felt the heaviness inside. Apparently it's all gold. I couldn't help but be quite moved, and said, "My lord......"

Lorraine snorted coldly, interrupted him, and continued: "Within ten days, I must see the news, otherwise I will ......"

He paused, then pointed to the theater and said coldly, "I know where you work, and I believe it won't be too difficult to find where your family lives." Also, if the news leaks, I think you know the consequences. ”

The manager couldn't help but shudder when he heard the murderous intent in his tone. He finally confirmed that these people were indeed out-and-out nobles. Because only these people can threaten others like this, and they also have the strength to threaten others like this.

At this time, Lorraine had already got into the carriage, and heard the coachman ask, "My lord, where are you going?"

The steward immediately pricked up his ears.

Sure enough, I heard Lorraine say loudly: "Go to the city guard." ”

The coachman was stunned, and thought he had misheard. Then he glanced inquiringly at the steward.

The steward immediately suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and then nodded to him slightly.

The coachman confirmed, and then with a whip of his whip, he drove the carriage toward the center of the city.

Lorraine sat in the middle of the car, and then noticed that Leo was still holding the trophy in his hands, even though the salary and bonus for this month were all gone, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you so happy?"

Leo shook the trophy in his hand and said, "Look, I won this at the selection competition, and I have a certificate." These prove that I am a thunder hero. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but be angry and funny, and then asked, "You just went on stage for a while, and they gave you a genuine Lei Daxia? Are they blind?"

Leo was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, remembered the scene at that time, and scratched his fat cheeks with some confusion, and said, "I don't know too much, at the beginning, they seemed to be going to push me down."

Later, someone seemed to say something to the judges. They gave me a third prize.

How can I do this?

At that time, they immediately changed me to a second-class one.

At first, I was reluctant. However, Vera said that it was chosen for nothing anyway, and the second class was also the second class. I thought about it at the time, and I was right. It's going to come down.

But one of the ruffian judges with a bare head asked me, do you know the daughter of the city guard?"

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What do you say?"

Leo raised his chin and said nonchalantly, "Isn't that Fiona?" That's why I said, Fiona sent us.

And then...... Then, they tried their best to change the ratings, and they all showed full scores. That's why I got this award. ”

He paused for a moment, and said with some regret: "I originally thought that there would be some unspoken rules or something, so I could see it, but it doesn't matter, this trophy looks golden, and it is really good." ”

As he spoke, he was holding the trophy in both hands and smiling and drooling.

Vera and Shiro glanced at each other, then looked at Leo together with disdain.

Leo didn't notice it at all, his still smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and said, "Pure gold, mine." ”

Lorraine sighed and said, "Fool, you have been cheated. Do you think that in such a broken competition, they will take the pure gold as a trophy?"

Leo was stunned for a moment, looked down at the trophy in his hand, his face gradually turned white, and muttered, "You mean that this thing is plated......? Fake?"

Vera sighed, then snapped her fingers and pulled out a dagger, then slashed at the trophy. Immediately, it cut through the gold on the surface, revealing the brass inside.

Leo glanced at it, and immediately burst into a rage, and scolded: "These bastards have long known that they should never be trusted." I still performed on stage for so long, and I actually took a broken copper to Mengye......"

As he spoke, he pulled the window open and threw the trophy out heavily.

But then the carriage stopped again.

Leo jumped out of the carriage in a rage, picked up the trophy from the ground, held it in his eyes, and then took it back to the cart with the trophy in his arms.

Lorraine couldn't help but wonder: "Don't you want it?"

Leo gritted his baby teeth, which were as fine as rice, and gritted his teeth: "Why not? Although it is not valuable, it is a little something, and it took a long time to get it." I'll take it back, I can use it for others."

Lorraine couldn't help but praise it: Well, you now have the shameless demeanor of a great politician
