Chapter 496: Heading for Paris
When Lei Changye and Tyrol I officially signed the lease of Paris, all the nobles, knights, and magisters present responded with warm applause. Even Queen Mary had an irrepressible smile on her face.
Tyrol I couldn't put it down and stroked the dragon crystal that Lei Changye handed him, his eyes radiating greed and longing, as if he saw the magic knights armed with this dragon crystal walking in a row in front of him. The magisters who stood behind him and peeked at the dragon crystal also showed a look of intoxication.
It was at this time that Lei Changye finally realized Henry's strength. Because Henry's value of dragon spar has reached the point of insensitivity to the point, this shows that he has stood on a different level.
Princess Linda said that Henry once led the Knights of Aquitaine to almost defeat Aachen, Lei Changye didn't realize how powerful Henry was at the time, and now he has a little impression. Henry is worthy of being the man he took after 250,000 jade talismans.
At this moment, the low and faint sobs reached Lei Changye's ears through warm applause and discussions. He looked up and saw a knight in black plate armor standing behind the crowd, bowing his head and weeping.
Lei Changye looked at this black-armored knight in surprise, he had never seen this person before. However, the plate armor he wore was exactly the same color as the griffin knight who escorted Princess Linda to the Aachen Palace. He remembered that the griffon knight was a member of the Knights of the Night's Watch.
"What a disappointment, Sir Odo, please keep your emotions under control. "Tyrol I was basking in the joy of getting out of the financial crisis, and he couldn't help but change color at the sight of the black-armored knight bowing his head and sobbing.
"Your Majesty, please forgive your recklessness, Paris is my hometown, and I am ...... in emotion," the black-armored knight bowed his head and said in a dumb voice.
"Yes. Since Paris is your hometown, why didn't I see you take it back?" asked Tyrol I coldly.
"Your Majesty is ashamed. The black-armored knight bowed his head.
"When Paris fell, I didn't see you contribute, and now I am the savior of Paris, and you are here to pretend to cry, which is really tiresome. If someone can help the country to solve its financial crisis and stabilize its western defenses, will I rent out Paris?" asked Tyrol I, irritatingly.
The black-armored knight bowed his head and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, it turns out that Paris is not under the control of the Carolingians. Lei Changye spoke lightly, intercepting the words of Tyrol I.
"This, my honorable envoy, although Paris is not under the control of the Carolingian dynasty for the time being, it is still legally part of our dynasty. Since the gentleman has paid the rent for ten years, its ownership is at the disposal of the gentleman. A false smile immediately appeared on Tyrol I's face.
"I see. It is not a powerful force that only wants to occupy Paris. Lei Changye smiled indifferently.
"No matter what kind of armament, in front of the dragon knight, it is not worth mentioning. Tylor I glared fiercely at the black-armored knight and flattered him busily.
Lei Changye took a deep look at Sir Odo, who was clenching his fists tightly: "This knight is Sir Odo?"
"Uh......" Tylor I was very reluctant to mention Sir Odo again, and he couldn't help but glance at Princess Linda.
"Dear Mr. Ray, this Sir Odor is the Master of the Knights of the Night's Watch. The Night's Watch is a new Frankish organization formed by exiles who have lost their families and homeland to Viking and Daedric invasions. They are eager to regain their lost homeland and return to their old lives. The Order of the Night's Watch was the largest order in the Franks. Princess Linda quickly interjected.
"I see. Lei Changye thought about it carefully, isn't this just a beggar gang?
"Your Majesty, if Mr. Special Envoy really wants to send troops to counterattack Paris, please allow me to be Mr. Lei's guide. I know the battle on the front lines in Paris and will help you recover Paris. Sir Odo spoke suddenly.
"But......" Tyrol I couldn't help but glance at Princess Linda beside him.
Although he hated Sir Odo's uprightness and foolishness, Sir Odo was the only one of the nobles who was willing to protect Princess Linda wholeheartedly. The rest of the magnates are consciously or unconsciously close to the Robert family, who control half of the country's finances. In the future, when he died, Queen Mary would have proclaimed her sons emperor, and even divided Frank into seven or eight pieces.
And the existence of Princess Linda has become a thorn in Queen Mary's side, and she will want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Now that Sir Otto is leaving, Princess Linda will lose her only protection.
"Father, Sir Otto will be of great help to the esteemed Mr. Ray. But he has a straightforward temperament, and his Latin is not very authentic, and I am afraid that he and Mr. Ray will not communicate well. I have been following Mr. Lei for a long time, and I know him and his subordinates very well, so I am the liaison between the Knights of the Night's Watch and the Tang Martial Alliance, which will be of great help to their cooperation. Princess Linda said shrewdly.
"But, my darling, you've just escaped death from the hands of the Necromancer Archmage, and it's not been half a day since you've returned to the palace. Tyrol I said distressedly.
"Father, for the sake of the kingdom, I am willing to go to the soup. Princess Linda looked proudly at Queen Mary and bowed gracefully.
"My darling, you are so good, this is the offspring of Caroling!" said Tyrol I, overjoyed. His words made the sons behind him and Queen Mary look gloomy.
Lei Changye saw everything in his eyes, and instantly understood the intrigues in these palaces. He praised Princess Linda's wisdom, she is really not stupid, and the reason why she runs out all day is that the outside is really safer than the palace. Even Henry the Cynic was not as much of a threat to Linda as Queen Mary.
"It was a great pleasure to have the help of Sir Otto and Princess Linda. This proves the sincerity of the Carolingian dynasty in leasing Paris, which I will keep in mind. Lei Changye said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we are very sincere. Tyrol I nodded hurriedly, "Uh...... Well done, Linda, Sir Otto. ”
"Yes!" said Linda and Sir Otto in unison.
After collecting and signing the Paris lease magic contract, Lei Changye took Linda and flew back to the Flying Fish Lady ship on the Dragon Mother Mariechis. Sir Odo led several griffon knights to the ship of Flying Fish and served Princess Linda.
Lei Changye found a VIP building for them to live in temporarily, and he went to the middle cabin with great interest, found Zixin, and informed her that she was ready to have a meeting.
Zixin smelled the inside smell before the big battle in Lei Changye's tone, not only found Wang Mang and the others, but also called all the high-level players of the Martial Alliance in the interface.
All of a sudden, Lei Changye's brain interface was overcrowded, and countless messages swiped the screen, making his eyes dazzled. But he was full of excitement at the moment, and he didn't care about the slight discomfort. He had a hunch that in Paris in the future, he would definitely encounter a magic battle similar to that in Yamaguchiyama and Hero Musou. This time, the Europeans must be shown the power of the mysterious forces of the East.
"Brother Lei, seeing that you are so rarely excited, is there a big battle to fight?" Zi Xin said with a smile.
"That's right. First of all, I would like to announce the good news that I have just signed a magical contract with the Emperor of the Franks to lease Paris, the largest city of the Franks, as a trading post at the end of our Silk Road for a rent of 500 livres per year. Lei Changye said excitedly.
"How big is Paris?" asked Wang Mang.
"Well, it should be as big as Chang'an. Seeing everyone's ignorant looks, Lei Changye reluctantly made an analogy. In fact, Paris is the size of Suzhou, but in terms of cultural value, it is no problem to compare with Chang'an.
"The alliance leader is mighty!" "Senior brother is mighty!" everyone praised happily. Although I don't have any concept of Paris, a big city like Chang'an is still worth looking forward to.
"From the tone of the Frankish Emperor, I made a few preliminary judgments. Paris was not in the hands of the Franks, but was occupied by a very strong armed force, so this time we were likely to have a siege as difficult as the capture of Chang'an. Lei Changye said in a deep voice.
"Oh~~~~~" Zixin was the first to scream. She likes it.
"Senior brother, I can ride Tianwu and fly directly in. Isn't it over for us to ride Tianwu alone, to get up a giant dragon alone, and to fly up to the city together?" Bi Yike's hands trembled excitedly.
"Let's go along. "Tu Shanli, Yellow Crane and Wu Daozi are also energetic.
"Do you still remember the battle against the Dragon Crystal Demon Castle?" asked Lei Changye with a smile.
"Remember!" everyone laughed. That battle can be said to be the strongest boss battle they have ever fought in the Tang Dynasty Phantom World, the waves are magnificent, several ups and downs, and even the main line of the treasure in Lei Changye is almost deflated, it can be said to be an adrenaline-pumping battle, and everyone is extremely enjoyable.
"This time in attack on Paris, we may encounter archmages as terrible as the necromancer, and more than one. Lei Changye said solemnly.
"Huh?" the crowd fell silent.
It is true that they like to fight, but they do not like to lose battles, and they do not want to be crushed by the enemy's strength.
"So, this time I want to mobilize all the members of the Martial Alliance, everyone will fight side by side, and make a big fuss happily. Lei Changye said with a smile.
"Yay~~~~~"
"Woo ~~~~~"
"Whew~~~~~"
Not only were the members of the Martial Alliance in the conference room screaming excitedly, but Lei Changye's brain was like a frying pan. Everyone was excitedly snorting onomatopoeia. Among them are Guan Hai, Lu Bu and Sun Ce, who have long dreamed of manipulating centaurs and armoured soldiers across the battlefield. These three people dream every night about how to ride horses and slash and slash, and live a peaceful life, which is not in line with their identity as big players!
