Chapter 346 [Baron's Birthday]
Chapter 346 [Baron's Birthday]
In this kind of long journey in the age of cold weapons, even if there are horses to travel, the speed of the journey is still very slow.
Chen Daolin, who was formerly an otaku, once heard legendary stories such as cavalry long-distance and thousand-mile raids, and what ancient thousand-mile BMW could travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night.
But when he really traveled to this era, he found that most of it was nonsense.
A four-legged horse is indeed much faster than a two-legged man, but a horse can walk a hundred miles a day at most under normal weight, and it will reach the sky. Even if the cavalry in the army marches normally, it is only less than two hundred miles a day, which is converted into less than a hundred kilometers.
And when traveling within the Roland Empire, you also have to consider the supply points during the long journey - this kind of rush is not to say, just take out a map, draw a straight line between the departure point and the destination, and then run in a straight line.
Roads are never built in a straight line, and along the way there are places where supplies can be provided, towns, cities.
So normally, although Chen Daolin and his entourage have horses and carriages to travel, they can walk about 100 miles every day, which is already a very fast speed.
Chen Daolin, who was in a hurry, didn't find that he had been targeted, although Montoya was experienced, he was responsible for leading the team at the front, and Ade, who was in charge of the final realm of the team, was overwhelmed by Chen Daolin's words.
At the end of the day, I came to a village and town along the way in the afternoon, and stopped to stay again - if you miss this village, you are still far from the next village where you can rest and replenish supplies, and you will never be able to reach it before dark, and if you miss it, then you will have to sleep in the wilderness.
It is already more than 300 miles away from the imperial capital, and it is only 150 or 60 kilometers when converted into kilometers. In the real world, it takes less than two hours to take the highway.
However, in the Roland Empire, these hundreds of miles of distance make it almost as if the imperial capital existed in two worlds.
The tense atmosphere that permeated the air in the imperial capital did not affect this place in the slightest, and the people in the town looked relaxed, and the town was peaceful and peaceful.
When Chen Daolin and the others arrived, they unexpectedly caught up with a lively scene.
The town was located within the domain of an Imperial nobleman, who, by imperial law, was only a baron. He did not have the power to establish his own private army, nor to appoint officials and to govern within the domain, and the benefits of such a domain were limited to the annual revenue, from which he could share a large sum.
It can be said that this baron called Pierre is the lowest level of the aristocratic system of the Roland Empire, that is, the "country aristocracy" in the mouth of the real wealthy and powerful people in the imperial capital.
But even the nobility of the countryside is also an aristocrat. In such an era, in such a village and town, far from the imperial capital and the big cities, a baron is enough to be called a big man.
So, this Baron Pierre. To celebrate his fiftieth birthday has naturally become a festival worth celebrating in the town.
Chen Daolin's team entered the town and soon felt a festive-like atmosphere. After checking in at a hotel in the town, a chubby, round-faced boss was quickly greeted by his men. After settling in, the boss proudly announced that because of the birthday of Baron Pierre, all out-of-town visitors to the town would be free of charge today. Paid by Lord Baron Pierre.
Moreover, to celebrate the baron's fiftieth birthday, a celebration will be held in the town's square, as well as fireworks purchased from the imperial capital by the Baron's Palace.
Judging from what the shopkeeper said, the baron named Pierre seems to be quite popular with the people, he never interferes in local government affairs, but honestly collects taxes, and often does some kind things such as building roads and bridges on weekdays, and does not oppress the commoners in his own territory, and sometimes even pays for his own money to invite clergy from the city church to provide free medical treatment for the common people.
Such a kind aristocrat naturally won the hearts of the people. So when he celebrated his fiftieth birthday, the whole town was happy for him.
Fifty years old is already a very good lifespan for people in the Roland Empire.
Chen Daolin had carefully studied the situation of the Roland Empire when he was in the academy, and according to his approximate estimates, just based on the statistics of the imperial capital, the population of the imperial capital was about one million or more, and the average life expectancy was really surprising: forty-three years old!!
You must know that the imperial capital is already the most prosperous, civilized and developed region in the entire Roland Empire. If this figure is evenly distributed to the entire Roland Empire, I am afraid that the number of life expectancy will decline by a large margin.
For a civilization that is still in the age of cold weapons, it is an unavoidable situation that is limited to medical standards and has a low life expectancy.
Even in reality, the ancient Celestial Empire, the Tang Dynasty, which was known as the most powerful, had an average life expectancy of only in the early thirties during the Zhenguan period.
Therefore, the fiftieth birthday of this Baron Pierre is indeed worth congratulating.
Probably looking at Chen Daolin and the others' extraordinary manners, especially Chen Daolin's robe, which seems simple, but the texture of the clothing is luxurious, and there are also fierce warrior servants, beautiful female companions, and low-eyed servants, and even a beast werewolf slave. Therefore, the boss judged that Chen Daolin must be a noble lord with extraordinary status, and kindly reminded that Baron Pierre would have fun with the people tonight, hold a party outside the town, and invite some people with status in the town to participate, and some foreign distinguished guests can also go if they want. The shopkeeper believes that based on Chen Daolin's behavior, his status should be enough to participate in such a "high-end party".
Originally, Chen Daolin was not interested in this kind of gathering, in the imperial capital, the kind of dinner in the palace has been seen, what is the meaning of this kind of birthday party of local small nobles, and the people invited are nothing more than local small officials and businessmen.
However, another sentence from the shopkeeper made Chen Daolin pay attention.
It is said that the family business of the Baron Pierre is very large, and this family is not only a philanthropic person in addition to the Baron's usual generosity. And one more thing that is admirable!
"Lord Baron's younger brother, but he's a magician! And he's a powerful person from the Imperial Academy of Magic! God, in a place like the Imperial Academy of Magic, I heard that only the most powerful geniuses can enter that place. You can't even look at such a character on a normal day, but I heard that today, the magician also returned home to celebrate the baron's fiftieth birthday. ”
A magician from the Academy of Magic?
Chen Daolin's heart moved, and he immediately changed his mind.
In this case, it is necessary to take a look.
......
In the evening. After settling in the hotel, Chen Daolin took Barossa and Xia Xia out, accompanied by Montoya. As for the werewolf Chuck, because his appearance is too dazzling, in order to avoid trouble, he naturally won't bring it, and Ade...... Since you wear a servant's clothes, you must have the consciousness of a servant, so stay and watch the house!
Chen Daolin had already prepared a famous post.
It's easy to lie about your identity. It's good that he's been working with the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce for so long, and it's in his storage ring. There is a badge ring from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, which can be used as an ornament and can be used as a seal after being stained with ink. Such a badge. In the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, there are only people at the middle level and above. This badge Chen Daolin took was originally intended to be issued to the people in his Wushuang Workshop for use, but he didn't expect to encounter a major event after the New Year, but the thing was left in his hands.
Now Wushuangfang has been seized in the imperial capital. The head office of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce is temporarily closed to avoid the rumors.
But the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce has a big business, and there are semicolons all over the empire. The general number of the imperial capital is temporarily closed, but the local branches are still operating as usual, Chen Daolin casually took out this badge and pretended to be the caravan manager passing by in the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult, with the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce The internal branch of the Chamber of Commerce is all over the place, and it is difficult to track him down afterwards.
After procuring a few gifts from the town, and digging out a set of armor of decent texture and condition from the messy storage in his storage ring as the most important gift (the shopkeeper said that the Baron Pierre was quite martial), the group went out to the meeting place outside the town.
On the north side of the town, there is a forest that is not too dense, it is said that this forest belongs to the hunting ground of the Pierre family, and there is a large house with a garden on the edge of the forest, the two-story building is not very large, and it is not related to luxury, this is the "hunting ground annex" of Baron Pierre.
Compared with those wealthy families in the imperial capital, this kind of pomp seems to be a bit shabby, but considering that it is just a small nobleman in a place, he is still so particular about getting himself a hunting ground and a courtyard, it seems that this Baron Pierre likes to pay attention to pomp and circumstance.
There are a few carriages parked in front of the courtyard, most of them are ordinary, and the most luxurious carriage is probably for the owner's own use, and the carriage body is very exquisite, but Chen Daolin can see at a glance that this carriage is produced by the Tulip Workshop, and it should still be the old model a few years ago (since cooperating with the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, Chen Daolin has carefully studied the Tulip Workshop as an imaginary enemy). Although the maintenance is very good, it can still be seen that it is already an outdated style. If it was in the imperial capital, any nobleman's family would drive such a carriage, and it would soon become a laughing stock.
But in such a remote place, such a carriage is enough to stand out from the crowd.
To Chen Daolin's surprise, although the carriage was average, the horses pulling the carriage seemed to be of good breed, and even a high-ranking knight like Montoya looked at it twice.
showed his imprint, and Chen Daolin and his party were immediately invited as VIPs.
The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce is one of the most prominent behemoths in the business world of the Roland Empire, even if Chen Daolin is only pretending to be a middle-level manager under the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce at the moment, but appearing in this small town, he can already be regarded as a very remarkable figure.
While they were still at the door, the stamped note was sent in, and soon hurried footsteps were heard inside, and a man who looked to be in his thirties, of medium stature, dressed in the most common aristocratic style of short coats and long robes, walked out with a happy face.
This man's eyes are not bad, and his eyes swept over. first stayed on Montoya's body for a while, and then quickly and accurately landed on Chen Daolin's body, and it seemed that at a glance it was clear that this group of people was led by Chen Daolin.
"You must be a guest of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. The aristocratic man bowed slightly and touched his chest, but this aristocratic etiquette was meticulous, raised his head, and smiled politely: "I am Blomir Pierre." Son of the Baron. When I heard of your coming, my father asked me to come out to meet you. On a day like today, I didn't expect to have a distinguished guest from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce visit, which is really gratifying. I just haven't asked for your name yet......"
"Alan, Eren Yeyer. Chen Daolin casually reported a name that he was familiar with. looked calm, and said with a faint smile: "I am just a small person in the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, I accidentally passed by here, and when I heard about the birthday party of Lord Baron Pierre, I came uninvited, and asked the master to forgive me for my rudeness." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Montoya, who immediately flashed around and gave way to the carriage behind him. On top of the carriage. An open tall wooden box sits high there.
Montoya gently ripped off the black cloth that was covering the box......
Soon, the baron's son let out an exclamation and took a long breath!
Not only the son of this baron, but also the surrounding Qiē other guests who were close to him. As well as the servants and guards at the door, their eyes widened, and their expressions of surprise appeared.
This is a suit of armor, to be precise. This is a pair of Roland Imperial knights' full-body armor.
In this era, the process of metallurgical ironmaking was not very developed, and the steel production in the era of cold weapons. In the real Celestial Empire, the national output of a Roland Empire is probably far inferior to the production capacity of a small steel mill in a place.
Therefore, all-metal armor, although it is very common in those wealthy families in the imperial capital, is a very rare good thing for the real vast majority of Roland people, and even for the nobles in many places!
The set of knight armor brought by Chen Daolin was produced by the weapon workshop of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. The pointed helmet, with the added hook and loop covering, shoulder pads and cuirass, are all made of plate armor, but the scale armor is used on the arms, and the helmet and cuirass have floral reliefs, symbolizing the production of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. The weight of the whole set of armor reached forty kilograms, and some of the vital parts were made of the top steel sheets, and most of the other places, although the armor surface has been polished, is actually still ordinary iron, which is not too good.
In the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, such armor can only be regarded as a medium-to-low color, and in the imperial capital, such armor will never be worn by the real wealthy nobles, and will only be bought as equipment for the powerful warriors under his command.
But even so, such a large-scale commodity that can be regarded as mass production is worth a lot of money in the world of cold weapon civilization like the Roland Empire, and the price reaches two hundred gold coins, which is enough to cover the entire income of a middle-sized family in the imperial capital for several years, and it is still on the premise of not eating or drinking.
Two hundred gold coins is naturally nothing in a place like the imperial capital, but for many small nobles in the local area, it is already a lot of money.
Like this Baron Pierre, the title is just a baron, the territory he owns is just a small town, and the annual financial income from the territory is only more than 1,000 gold coins, and the aristocratic family, even if it is a small nobleman, in order to maintain the pomp and circumstance of the nobleman's life, the cost and consumption are always not small, to support the large and small servants in the family, to maintain the daily expenses of the house, a year, it is not enough is barely a surplus, if you meet a nobleman who does not know how to run a family and has no way to make money, it is easy to ruin。
This Baron Pierre, it seems that his family still has a business industry, and his life is probably not bad, but how to estimate, after deducting all expenses, he can use a surplus of thousands of gold coins a year to be considered quite good.
If you change to a little more remote place, if you put it in the real world Celestial Empire, it is about equivalent to the rural landlord in the old days, and it is even enough to use it as an heirloom treasure if you can have such a set of armor.
I didn't see that at the entrance of this courtyard, there were still a few people standing who were probably in the role of guards - the title of baron did not have the power of a private army according to the laws of the Empire. But as a nobleman, some family guards always have to support a few.
But these guards are too far from those wealthy guards in the imperial capital.
These guards, a little better, are wearing cowhide leather armor, and some of them already have traces of denitrification, and they look like old goods. It's just that on days like this, take it out and scrub it clean, and wear it to support the façade.
As for those in metal armor, there is none of them.
Where is it like in the imperial capital, if the retinue of a warrior from a wealthy family does not have a beautiful set of samurai armor, he simply has no face to go out to meet people.
There was a hint of eagerness in Boromir's eyes, but after all, considering his identity, it was not good to show too much rudeness, and he endured the excitement in his heart. Only then did he take a deep breath, solemnly thanked Chen Daolin, and then personally led Chen Daolin and his party into the courtyard.
As for taking a suit of armor, naturally a servant from the house carried it in.
Such a set of armor can be regarded as an important collection of the family.
casually gave away such a set of knight's armor, in fact, even Montoya muttered in his heart, although the church has a lot of money, but it is not extravagant enough to casually throw this kind of thing worth hundreds of gold coins to people. The Holy Knights are considered the purest places in the Church, and have largely preserved the tradition of hard and simple asceticism.
Such a set of knightly armor. Montoya herself was only eligible for a set after being promoted to the knighthood.
However, for the really wealthy Lord Darling, there are still seven or eight sets of rings in this kind of thing.
It's only two hundred gold coins, and it's not worth one-tenth of the price of a "Force Sword". If it weren't for the fear of revealing his identity. If he throws a sword of the Force as a gift, I'm afraid the baron will run out to greet him himself.
Such a set of armor was enough to serve as a stepping stone for himself, and Chen Daolin and others, who were regarded as VIPs, were welcomed into the courtyard.
In Chen Daolin's opinion, this baron's birthday banquet was naturally extremely simple. Compared with those wealthy night banquets in the imperial capital, it is much shabby. In the courtyard, there are several grills, and some game is grilled at random. Probably called in the woods.
As for the wines, only a few simple ales are offered, and a small amount of grape fruit wine.
The courtyard is very clean, and it can be seen that the owner is very good at keeping the house. In fact, most of the local nobles of the Roland Empire, especially some low-level nobles, generally live such a life, on the one hand, they have to maintain their aristocratic pomp and dignity, and on the other hand, they have to be careful to keep their families. There are many places where the life of the nobility is far less extravagant than one might think.
After all, it was a feudal era, and the productivity was still relatively underground in general, so ......
The landlord's family has no surplus food......
After Chen Daolin and his party came in, the Baron Pierre soon appeared.
For this distinguished guest who gave himself a set of expensive knight's armor, of course, Lord Baron should pay special attention to it.
This fifty-year-old man looked quite energetic, of medium stature, but he looked like a large skeleton, and he should have been the kind of powerful and strong man when he was young. The baron wore a very ornate shirt, although judging from the wear and tear of the sleeves and collar, it should not be a new shirt, probably took out the "battle robe" at the bottom of the box to support the scene on an important day.
To Chen Daolin's surprise, the "baroness" who followed this baron was actually very young. He looks like he is less than thirty years old at most, with fair skin and a graceful figure, but his appearance is not very beautiful, and he can only be regarded as a middle-aged person.
However, when the barons introduced each other according to aristocratic etiquette, they did not introduce the woman next to them in the name of "baroness", but only said that they were a "friend" of their own.
Of course, according to aristocratic tradition, the introduction of such a so-called "friend" on such an occasion is actually considered to be an open lover.
The marriage system of the Roland Empire was strange, and monogamy was not explicitly recognized, nor was monogamy explicitly prohibited.
In fact, when Chen Daolin just crossed over, he was still very obscene for a while with the mentality of dick, but any traverser, if he doesn't build a big harem, can he still be called a successful traverser?
Monogamy has been established in all civilized countries in the real world, and the only way to marry more wives is to go to Arab countries or Africa.
However, when he came to the Roland Empire, Chen Daolin found that it didn't seem to be much open here.
Because the state religion of the Roland people is the Temple of Light, a human nation that worships goddesses, you naturally can't expect to degrade a woman's status too low, so the Imperial Code does not allow polygamy. If the aristocracy wants to marry more wives, it is not illegal, nor is it impossible, but it will be dissatisfied with the church. As for civilians: it is already difficult to feed yourself. Where is the money to marry a few more wives.
What makes Chen Daolin curious is that this Baron Pierre should have his own wife - this can be seen from his son Boromir, the Roland people, especially the nobles of the Roland Empire, have a traditional custom, an adult man, if his father or mother has died, often make a small ornament on his body to commemorate the ancestors, this ornament is either a black badge, or a black bracelet or something.
Just look at that Bolomir. I didn't wear this kind of thing, so I think my parents are still alive.
But it is strange enough that the Baroness has celebrated his fiftieth birthday and comes to see the distinguished guests without his own baroness, but openly with a mistress.
Chen Daolin and this baron exchanged pleasantries for a while, although the baron attached great importance to him, but probably from his words, he seemed to be more interested in the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, probably counting on the friendship with Chen Daolin. You can have some connection between your family business and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.
After Chen Daolin dealt with a few casual words, the baron politely walked away to greet the other guests—no matter how eager his heart was, it was not good to show excessive eagerness on his face and lose his aristocratic demeanor.
Chen Daolin and others were in the courtyard. It immediately became the focus of many guests' friendships. A distinguished guest from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce was enough to attract the attention of many people, and in a short time, Chen Daolin had already chatted with the mayor of the town and the merchants in several places here.
Long time in the imperial capital. Chen Daolin is no stranger to this kind of entertainment between nobles, and he skillfully dealt with these people. I quietly looked around, but I didn't find my real goal this time.
What about the younger brother of this baron, the magician who is said to have been born in the Academy of Magic?
......
When night fell, several bonfires were already alive in the courtyard next to the forest farm.
The exterior walls of the annex are not too high, and the brick and earth façade is covered with vines such as creepers.
Because it is a small place, there is no big problem with public security, so when it gets dark, except for two guards left at the gate, there are no guards patrolling outside the courtyard.
Of course, a small baron family can't afford to raise many real guards. It costs at least a few dozen gold coins to feed a samurai with matching armor and weaponry. For the small nobles of such a small place, the so-called "guards" in the family are nothing more than some strong farmers who have undergone simple training.
When the sun had set and the last rays of afterglow had dissipated, the bonfire in the courtyard was vigorous, and bursts of laughter were heard.
And just outside the courtyard, in the woods, there was a group of black figures, and then the night flew up to the outer wall of the courtyard like a tide!
The outer wall, which is more than one person high, does not have much practical defensive effect, especially in front of a skilled warrior, and can be climbed over with a slight jump.
There were about 30 people posted outside the courtyard. Judging from the footsteps and body movements, everyone is agile, although the queue seems to be scattered, but in fact it seems to have a special law. This seemingly scattered distribution, once a fierce battle, can just form a special kind of teamwork.
Judging from their attire, although they were covered with leather armor and other armor, their weapons were not weak, sharp swords, long swords, short spears, and battle axes!
Judging by the staffing, this should be a standard mercenary adventure team.
These people were also clever in choosing the place to be close, and they happened to choose the right side of the courtyard, the guard who was furthest from the gate, and from the light, the right side was also far beyond the light of the campfire.
"Commander! It's been confirmed, the person is inside! The place here is narrow, and there is already a gate exit inside and outside, just enough to block the target inside!" A fierce mercenary beside him came up, lowered his voice, and his eyes were sharp, staring at the firelight in the courtyard wall, and couldn't help licking his lips, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes: "I have heard it clearly, but it is just a gathering of little country barons, there are only seven or eight guards in total, and they are just some farmers who can barely hold their knives." However, there are a lot of fat sheep in it, and it is said that this baron held a birthday ceremony and received many gifts. And the town also inquired, and among the guests who came today were a few wealthy merchants...... Leader, anyway, we have surrounded this place, and the people here are in the palm of our hands, and we can't fly out if we want to, so it's better to just make a vote...... Maybe you'll have all the money for the next year!"
After a pause, the mercenary seemed to be afraid that his words would not be enough to impress his leader, and added: "I heard that this baron also has a lot of property......
The leader of the group, the head of the group, had a handsome face exposed to the faint light of the fire, and it seemed that his gaze seemed to be cloudy. But when he heard this, he turned his head and glared at this subordinate fiercely, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Idiot!"
"Huh?"
"You idiot, you just want to make a fortune by this means? huh...... Not to mention that the person here is a baron after all, after we finish this vote, can we make the traces clean and thorough, after all, this is not a remote place, and it is only three hundred miles away from the imperial capital!
There was a pause. He gritted his teeth, his eyes showed a hint of complexity, and he whispered, "Say it again...... How much oil and water can a little country baron have? A group of turtles who have never seen the world! This little baron, even if he shaves him clean and squeezes all his bones, how much can he have? This little money will make your eyes red and your heart will be moved? I sue you. If this little money were in the hands of the real magnates and magnates in the imperial capital, it might not be worth a casual dinner!!Did you see it? What kind of party did this baron make...... It's really ridiculous! This kind of scene is embarrassed to say that he is a nobleman. If it were in the imperial capital, in those real aristocratic gatherings, a random bottle of wine would be enough to hold this kind of poor sour gathering ten or eight times!"
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of remembrance, and then he seemed to think of something again, and this trace of remembrance immediately turned into deep hatred!
Darling Chan ...... If he hadn't harmed me, I would have enjoyed the glory and wealth in the imperial capital at this moment, and be friends with those real magnates!Hmph......"
He finally took a deep breath, his face quickly calmed down, his eyes became cold, he stared coldly at his companions, and shouted in a low voice: "Listen carefully! No one is allowed to mess around without my orders! Our goal today is just one! As for the master here, don't mess around! Don't mess around for the sake of a little benefit in front of you!" As long as you listen to my words and do it, I promise to take you to the imperial capital in the future, and let you see what is the real aristocratic life, what is the real extravagance, and what is the real wealth in that world of flowers!
Although there is still some unwillingness in his heart, as the head of the regiment, he naturally has the highest authority in a mercenary group adventure team, and everyone else has to suppress the restlessness in their hearts and honestly listen to the order and lurk.
After a while, looking at the sky, the regiment commander estimated in his heart before issuing another order:
"According to the process of the nobles' gathering, there will be a link of thanks from the master at the end, and as soon as the noise inside is over, we will do it! 'Bronze hammer', you lead a team of people to block the front door! 'Bantam', you are in charge of the archers in control of the trees, if there is a change, you will release the arrows if you have my order! If you don't have my orders, you will never do it! The rest of the people will follow me and rush in through the gate! Remember, just control the baron at the first time, and then disperse the rest of the guests and let them lie down against the wall! We have only one goal, and that is that Darling Chen! He left me to deal with...... As for the big man next to him who looks very powerful, 'bandits,' you will take your people to deal with them!
Beside him, the one who just spoke and wanted to mention robbery was the "bandit", this guy really looked like a bandit, and after listening to the order, he smiled fiercely: "Okay boss, don't worry, as soon as I rush in, I will take my brothers to cut down the big man's axe first......!" Boss, that little girl next to Darling Chen is very good...... You see......"
As he spoke, a red light appeared in his eyes.
The head of the regiment smiled coldly, there seemed to be some disdain in his eyes, and said coldly: "Hmph...... As for the rest, I'll leave it to you when it's done. ”
......
When the party was halfway through, Chen Daolin finally got a little impatient.
The main purpose of his coming here was nothing more than to meet the magicians of the so-called "Academy of Magic". He left the imperial capital, but he couldn't get in touch with the academy, which had been garrisoned by Shiloh, and if he could get in touch with a magician from the magic academy here, he might be able to break the deadlock.
Although somewhat adventurous. But Chen Daolin is also willing to try.
But now, the legendary mage did not show up, which made Chen Daolin naturally very disappointed in his heart. Although the baron's son, Boromir, spent the whole night hanging around him, and his words and demeanors were all trying to make friends with himself, the nobleman of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.
Although Chen Daolin implicitly said that he was just an ordinary middle-level manager in the Chamber of Commerce, it was obvious that the people of the Pierre family did not believe it.
Imagine being able to casually take out a few hundred gold coins as a gift to give to someone, how can it be just an ordinary steward?
However, this Bolomir obviously doesn't have much city mansion, and he is with Chen Daolin, a little fox, for one night. was tricked by Chen Daolin a lot of words.
The whereabouts of the magician uncle at home, Blomir didn't seem to know much, Chen Daolin only asked, the baron did have a magician brother who was born in the magic academy, and he did return here today, and he also said that he would come to the other courtyard tonight, but as for why he didn't appear now, no one knows.
Magicians have always been a bit weird and mysterious in doing things.
However, Blomir privately resented the "mistress" at his father's side.
It is said that the baroness is still in the house. There has been a deep estrangement with the old baron, and the husband and wife have not spoken for a long time, and have even separated from each other.
This made Boromir feel sorry for his mother, of course. Chen Daolin guessed that the son of this baron was probably more concerned about his inheritance.
The mistress next to Baron Pierre heard that she was pregnant, judging by Cheng Dù, who was very fond of her on weekdays. If a boy is born, perhaps Boromir's inheritance will be in jeopardy, and his mother. The maiden family of the real baroness has also declined, and it can't help at all.
In case the mistress's mother is more expensive than her son, she is afraid that she will snatch the title of baroness, and by the way, even Polomir's inheritance will be in jeopardy.
"I don't understand...... This slut is so mediocre, why does her father love her so much!"
Probably after a few more glasses of wine, Poromir's words became a little out of shape.
Chen Daolin naturally pretended not to hear it, and quietly moved away from the drunken baron's son, there was no need for him to cause trouble for other people's families.
Halfway through the meeting, several servants brought a plate of special "food" from the back of the courtyard.
This portion of food is actually ...... Noodles!
Chen Daolin was surprised, and only then did he listen to the introduction of Boromir next to him.
It turns out that there is this custom in the territory of the Tulip Family in the northwest of the Roland Empire, and this food called noodles must be eaten every birthday, and there is also a particular way, when eating noodles, you can't bite it off with your teeth, the best way should be to suck a noodle into it with your mouth, and the whole root will go down continuously, otherwise once you bite it off, it will be unlucky.
When Chen Daolin heard this, he couldn't help but jump out of the corners of his eyes......
Needless to say, this so-called "custom" that Darlinggo is familiar with is done by the first Tulip Duke Du Wei!!
Just in his heart, a bowl of noodles had already been held in front of Chen Daolin, Chen Daolin reluctantly picked up a noodle, and before he could move his mouth, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers and cheers from in front of him.
