Chapter 4 Badge of Nobility (1st Update)
Moses replied in a gentle, even, flat tone.
There was no intonation in tone, and there was no excitement on his face.
He's analyzing a cause, he's telling a fact.
But the listener will not be as calm as the speaker.
In particular, most of the magicians who have never seen what the desert is like, can only imagine it from the pictures and the descriptions of others.
They actually felt the desolation, the slaughter, the coldness, the bloodshed, the tragedy from Moses' words.
They felt something hold in their chests, making their breathing quick.
Some clenched their fists, some gritted their teeth, and some had an extra layer of mist in front of their eyes.
There is more firmness in their hearts, a little more touch, and a little peace of happiness.
It turns out that the border pass is like this, and there is still such a group of people guarding with their lives, and the countrymen who have never seen much of the world are also very cute.
Thinking like this, several of the sorcerers had a deeper grudge against Gongsun Murong. Why did he have such a guard, and why did he have a sister who earned him military merit?
Grand Duke Gers had a relieved expression on his face, and said to Moses in the video: "Very good, it is the luck of the principality that Duncan Olier is guarding the city of Praying Water, I can give you a reward, now, brave guard, say what you ask." ”
Without even thinking about it, Moses said, "Gold coins." ”
The sorcerers were stunned, and they had a great affection for Moses, and behold, what a simple man, unlike many hypocrites, who clearly want greater good, but have to say things for the sake of the principality, and do not need a reward.
Grand Duke Gers was stunned for a moment, and then agreed: "Thirty thousand gold coins." ”
"Thank you for your generosity. Moses rejoiced, and withdrew to the side, thinking that he had enough money to repair the manor.
Naturally, the next step was for Grand Duke Geers to arrange for men to help bring the ship back, while interrogating Milu and the captives.
Figuring out how Mitchell's battle ship came to be is a very important matter.
Of course, small-scale cleaning is inevitable.
Some of the nobles in the royal city were directly arrested, and the aristocratic principalities in the fiefdom also sent troops to encircle and suppress them.
October 30, 15940.
The war between the Principality of Geers and the internal nobles began, and in the cold winter, the flames of war were burning.
The trigger was the attack on Lucia Gers, the ninth princess of the principality.
The Rexla Empire also took the initiative, engaging in skirmishes with the Mitchell Empire in various bordering areas.
This is to tell everyone how much the empire values the principality.
It's been five days since the last battle outside the city.
The day after Nalasha and Gongsun Murong returned, they returned to their old routines.
Lucia is still excited, and she can't calm down after experiencing a real life-and-death struggle for the first time.
She came over this evening, mainly for dinner, and by the way, she had two things to tell Nalasha and Gongsun Murong.
Gongsun Murong made shrimp and ham soup, fried pork steak, and sausages at night, but instead of eating them according to the locals, they were cut directly, because he had already smoked them with sawdust, and the taste of the smoke would fade if he fried them again.
There was a plate of big bones in front of Nalasha, and she grabbed it and gnawed it deliciously.
Lucia is not used to eating, not only will she grab a hand of oil, but it is not as convenient as eating meat directly when she gnaws.
As for Gongsun Murong, he is not picky, he also learned several local methods of making ham and sausages, and when he goes to other places in the future, he will take them out and sell them, maybe he can make money again.
"Brother Murong, some people say that the lo-mei you make is not good, if we always eat it, it will change our original eating habits, and the production method in the countryside is not as noble as our local food. ”
Lucia saw that Nalasha was very appetizing when she gnawed on the bones, so she also grabbed one and gnawed it, rubbed her face with oil, and said to Gongsun Murong.
Gongsun Murong smiled: "There are always people who are willing to accept it, in many cases, it is not that the food made by foreign food preparation methods is not delicious, but that the person who eats it is arrogant and prejudiced, but it is he who really loses."
Learning is one of the reasons why human beings are stronger than other life groups. ”
"Uh-huh! I can prove it. Nalasha made a wind blade gear to automatically cut the bones, and added: "Brother Murong is very good at making food in that place, but he never refuses to have a new way to make food, so that he can eat better." ”
When he spoke, the bone had been cut open, revealing the bone marrow inside, and then he picked up the small fork and knocked it up, and the internal force that could already be used poured out, and the bone marrow was shocked out.
Lucia licked her lips: "Would you like to divide half of me?" There are two things I need to tell you today. ”
Lucia paused, picked up the soda next to her and rinsed her mouth, put half of the bone marrow in her mouth, and after savoring it, she showed a satisfied expression before continuing.
"The torture came out, the matter of our attack, the Mitchell Empire's battle spell spaceship actually came out of the Soul Lake, and the water pressure didn't crush them to death. ”
"Didn't the Grand Duke and Grandpa already send someone over to guard it?"
"Yes, my grandfather did, but more than half of the men guarding him were from Count Hillary Francis's family, and like Milu, they attacked the other half.
I'm sad that they didn't resist at all when they were attacked.
If, I say, if we're with them, I'm sure Narasa will be able to defend in an instant and fight back.
Even Moses would not be easily killed.
Therefore, Grandpa is going to mobilize some real instructors from the city lord of Oriel in Prayer Water City to teach the army in the royal city. Especially trustworthy adventurers.
The tranquility and peace made the warriors of the royal city forget to be vigilant.
Now there are many nobles who want to recruit people from Prayer Water City and bring their family members with them. ”
Lucia was not slow to speak, nor was she slow to eat, except when she was gnawing on bones, she was always graceful.
Nalasha sawed another bone, gave Lucia half of the marrow, and asked, "Really?"
"I didn't lie to you, it's because of the excellent performance of your family's subordinates. The children of your family go to school during the day, the adults go to work on the construction site, and go back to the square at night. On that day, the Francis family arranged for someone to deliver food in the square.
After the accident, when they were controlled, many people resisted, and the subordinates in your family happened to get off work and caught up.
It was said that a group of people from the countryside could form an army and help the guards of the royal city to subdue those whom the Francis had arranged and abandoned.
Since then, the nobles have had plans to go to Prayer Water City to recruit adventurers, and they will also bring the adventurers' families.
I have to say that Prayer Water City is famous. The adventurers there are top-notch in combat, and their families are always ready to fight. ”
Lucia said excitedly, as if the descendants of Nalasha's family were also her subordinates, and she followed with pride.
"Lucia, we didn't think about it then, did we, Brother Murong?"
"Yes. Gongsun Murong admitted that at the beginning, he didn't want too many adventurers to follow, which was cumbersome.
"This should be what the housekeeper grandfather said, when you are on the way back from carrying water by the river, the bits and pieces that are inadvertently sprinkled, you think that when you lose water, you may be given a piece of spring greenery. ”
Nalasha remembered what she had learned, and she missed her grandfather the butler even more.
Lucia was stunned: "This sounds so beautiful. The second thing is, you should have a badge that belongs to your family, have you thought about it?"
"Badge, Brother Murong, is there one?" asked Nalasha.
Gongsun Murong nodded: "You and I have both, but I think we should have a new badge that belongs to us." ”
"That's what I thought, too. Nalasha nodded in agreement.
Lucia left after she had eaten her fill.
Nalasha and Gongsun Murong began to think about the badge.
The coat of arms can be an abstract pattern, it can be text, or it can be some kind of animal or plant.
One night passed.
The two of them also thought a lot in their dreams, but they were not satisfied with the end.
So I plan to take advantage of today's college vacation to relax and relax, so as to increase inspiration.
The first choice is naturally the magic shop, and when I looked at it in the past, I found that the things sold were not suitable for badges.
I bought a few spell items and went to the drugstore.
Pharmacies have finished potions and tablets, as well as raw materials for their production.
Again, I want to buy more, especially the raw materials.
Gongsun Murong has always used the plants in the raw materials for making potions as auxiliary ingredients for cooking food, and many lo-mei and fishy foods need to use them.
When he was about to walk out of the door, Gongsun Murong suddenly turned around, made a gesture of taking something from his bag, and took out a kind of grass picked from the bottom of the Soul Lake.
Pulled Nalasha to the counter and asked the clerk, "Do you accept it?"
The young clerk couldn't help frowning when he looked at the flowers taken out by the customer who had just bought a lot of things, he didn't know it.
He said sorry and immediately ran to the pharmacist.
After a while, he came back after a man who appeared to be in his fifties.
"Master Lorrel, look, I have never seen a flower like this, from the root to the stem to the flower, there is not a single leaf, and it is a gray flower. The clerk pointed to the flowers on the counter and said with a little nervousness and curiosity.
The flowers that Gongsun Murong took out were just as the clerk said, there were no leaves, only one flower, light gray, dug out from the bottom of the Soul Lake, a lot.
The man known as Master Lorrell looked in the direction the clerk pointed.
When he saw the flower, he was stunned for a moment.
He took two quick steps to get closer, leaned down and opened his eyes wide, and watched carefully.
Then his mouth opened, revealing a look of surprise.
Judging by his slightly trembling state, he was very excited.
He tried to reach for it, but his hand was halfway through and then suddenly retracted.
Then the two hands kept rubbing together, and the breathing speed increased, so that he had to take several deep breaths in a row, and asked, "Who is its owner?"
