Chapter 458: The Diners (6)
Elegant tea room.
Opposite Le Chen, sat a handsome young man in brocade clothes, it was the master of the city of Ishalan, the sixth son of King Jack IX of Saurorn, Gruso, titled Duke of Ishalan, this young man, not only in King Sauron, but also in the entire civilized world has a great reputation, he has a reputation for genius since he was a child, and like the princes of many kingdoms, he was sent to the noble academy of the Kingdom of Fatans, which symbolizes the center of the civilized world, when he was a child, and soon stood out, whether it was horseback archery or theology, The humanities and so on, have shown extraordinary talent, and even refuted a prestigious dark archbishop in the debate of "heliocentrism", and he is very skillful, seizing the loopholes of the dark doctrine, so that the result of the debate seems to be that the archbishop does not really understand the true meaning of the dark doctrine and not that he is deviant, and in the past ten years, several religious scholars who advocate "heliocentrism" have been sentenced to the gallows in the name of heresy.
Now, in just a few years of the Duke of Ishalan's reign, Ishalanburg's handicraft industry and trade industry have developed significantly, and it has become the trade center of many kingdoms in the entire northern region, and more than one-third of the taxes of the entire Sauron Kingdom come from Ishalanburg.
Le Chen slowly sipped the tea, listening to the young duke talk about his understanding of this world, although his face was silent, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, this young man, if he did not die young, he would have become an extremely famous thinker, philosopher and even a natural science giant in a certain sense in the history of this world, as for whether he would achieve hegemony and become a generation of heroes, this seems to be irrelevant.
The ninth steward Johnfu sat next to Le Chen, poured tea and handed water to Le Chen and the Duke of Ishalaan, seeing that the Duke of Ishalan was very talkative, he was secretly surprised in his heart, no matter which guest he faced, this young duke may be extremely important and trusting, but he has never talked about everything like this.
In fact, with John's worldview, he naturally can't hear it, although Le Chen doesn't say much, but every time he talks about the point, it will arouse the resonance and thinking of the young duke, which is also because Le Chen has a good impression of this young duke, which will secretly point to him, although this planet is a descendant of the clones of the mother planet, but after all, it is also the same origin as himself, and after he leaves, he also hopes that this planet can get rid of the dark rule of the Holy See as soon as possible and develop in the right direction.
"Man is born free, and there are too many insurmountable boundaries in the exploration of the world?" said the Duke of Isharan, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I had to attend an important meeting tonight, I would love to have a night conversation with my husband." ”
Le Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's a long time coming!"
"Yes, the coming days are long!" the young duke smiled heartily, looking at Le Chen, his eyes became extremely bright, as if he had finally found a confidant or even a mentor.
There was a soft knock on the door outside. "My lord, it's 20 o'clock!"
The last grain of sand fell from the hourglass on the table, and Johanf hurriedly flipped it upside down, an hourglass consisting of two glass balls and a narrow connecting pipe that measured the time it took for the sand filled with the upper glass balls to pass through the narrow pipe and flow into the bottom glass balls. Once all the sand has flowed to the bottom of the glass ball, the hourglass can be reversed to measure the time, the average hourglass has a nominal running time of 1 hour per day, which is divided into twenty-four hours.
Next to the Dark Cathedral in the center of Fort Ishalan, there is a towering bell tower that reminds the citizens of the time of prayer, but this bell tower is also manually turned by the priests, and the real timekeeping is still based on this standard hourglass.
Glancing at the hourglass, the young duke sighed deeply: "Mr. Luochen, I'm really leaving!" and said to John's husband: "Arrange for Mr. to live in No. 3 Sunset Street, and all the miscellaneous servants are according to the original standard." ”
Johanf was slightly stunned, the guests recruited by the duke, among which there were five or six people who were the most important to the duke, did not live in the manor where the guests gathered, but arranged a separate courtyard in the city, and johnfu also hoped that Le Chen and the duke could get the duke's favor and obtain such an honor after the conversation, but he didn't want to, the duke wanted to arrange No. 3 Sunset Street for this Mr. Luochen?!
The entire Sunset Street is inhabited by the dignitaries of the city, and the commoners are not allowed to step into Sunset Street at all, and Sunset Street No. 3 is the most luxurious palace of all the mansions on Sunset Street, which was originally used to receive the brothers and sisters of the Duke and even the princes and princesses of the rest of the kingdoms.
Therefore, when he heard that the Duke wanted Le Chen to stay at No. 3 Sunset Street, John's thought he had heard it wrong, and said in surprise: "Lord Duke?
"Yes!" Duke Ishalan stood up, stopped just taking a step, and looked at Le Chen suddenly opening his arms: "Sir, I want to hug you today, in the future, I will treat Mr. as a teacher, I don't dare to be so presumptuous!"
Le Chen smiled, the Duke of Ishalan had already taken two steps, gave Le Chen a big bear hug, patted Le Chen's back hard, and then let go, and said with a smile: "It is the luck of my three lives to meet Mr."
John's whole person was petrified, Duke Isalan had been away for a long time, and he woke up suddenly, seeing that Le Chen was still sitting and slowly sipping tea, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, you are now in the mind of the Duke, you are a well-deserved guest first, no, no, no, just like the Lord said, the Lord seems to really regard you as a teacher." ”
Le Chen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Really?"
"Yes, in fact, originally, the Lord has recruited a lot of guests recently, isn't it because of the upcoming visit of the envoy of Fatans? Every three years, the Kingdom of Fatans will send envoys to the countries, in fact, it is to show off their might, and their missions will have many elite warriors, and the kingdoms will compete in five ways, namely Hercules, fencing, wrestling, Archery and javelin throwing, over the years, the nations have never won three victories, and this year, Fatans sent a special mission to Isharanburg, although it can be said that he values the Duke, but it is not necessarily not to warn my master, and now the Duke is running around on this matter, vowing to win in this competition, to frustrate the arrogance of Fatans, and to declare to the countries that Fatans is not invincible!"
Johanf paused, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Duke should have thought that you were qualified to be one of the five candidates, but after talking about it, he didn't mention this matter to you, obviously in the mind of Lord Duke, with the value of Mr., this so-called competition is not worth mentioning, and Mr. does not have to come forward in this kind of pediatric gambling at all." ”
Le Chen smiled and listened to his nagging, but he didn't say anything about the tea.
