Chapter 131, Chapter 132
Xie Feng was not surprised at all that Earl Craggs knew about Earl Greynwald's capture so quickly. The Kingdom of Swadia was already powerful in the mainland with its cavalry, so it must be good at transmitting information. So he said kindly.
: "We are here this time also because of Lord Grainwald's affairs."
Earl Craggs glanced at Xie Feng and said: "You want to use Earl Grainward to blackmail me into accepting the peace negotiation? Humph! You look down on me too much."
Xie Feng said: "Originally, Jelborg Castle was the territory of the Kingdom of Nord. It is reasonable and reasonable for us to send troops to regain the lost territory this time, and capturing Lord Grainward was an unexpected thing. Otherwise, we would have
Everyone, please take a step back. Fort Jelborg will be returned to our country, and Lord Grainward will be handed back to your country. From now on, the two countries will not default on each other and pretend that nothing has happened. What do you think?"
Count Craggs smiled, he really laughed, and it was indeed uglier than crying. This smile made Xie Feng's hair stand on end. He heard Count Craggs sneer and said: "Delberg Castle belongs to Nord's territory?
Humph! Boy, your historical knowledge is really messed up. Even people from other continents know that there used to be only one kingdom in the continent of Calradia - and that was our Kingdom of Swadia!"
Xie Feng had known that Earl Kraggs would do this, so he said: "According to your logic, Sir, has the Kingdom of Swadia existed since God created the world? Isn't it a kingdom created artificially? Allowed.
Some people created the Kingdom of Swadia, why are they not allowed to create the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Vaegia? The law of the jungle, the strong and the strong, the winner and the loser is the eternal law of this world. The Nord Kingdom has never provoked your country, but your country has
It is unbecoming of a great nation to raise an unknown army when we meet with swords. Now that our country is willing to return Earl Grainward in the hope that the two countries will be reconciled, it is already a big concession. Why do you want to be so aggressive? I hope you will return the favor.
National honor is the most important thing, don’t let the Kingdom of Swadia suffer infamy.”
It would have been better not to say this. As soon as Count Kraggs said it, he became furious and cursed: "You mean I have brought infamy on the Kingdom of Swadia? Go back to your Kingdom of Nord and tell you."
King Ragnar, I will fight with you, the Nordic Kingdom, until death!"
Xie Feng was also confused. He did not expect such a result. At this time, Fernand secretly pulled Xie Feng to him and whispered: "Captain, are you crazy? We are here to negotiate peace, not to quarrel. We are not here to say anything."
Whoever takes advantage will win."
Xie Feng patted his head and responded in a low voice: "Ah, I forgot about it." Xie Feng used to like debates and quarrels, so he accidentally brought in his language habits, but forgot that he was here to negotiate peace.
Yes, it should be to convince the other party, not to leave the other party with nothing to say.
Sera also said quietly: "He is indeed the idiot captain..."
Seeing the three people talking quietly on the side, Earl Craggs cursed angrily: "Get out of here!" As he said that, he touched the sword on the table.
When the three of them saw this, they were about to turn around and run away, when a crisp voice sounded from the corridor: "What makes father so angry?" After saying this, the speaker had already gone down to the lord's hall. The man in this life was as graceful as silk.
, with long black hair reaching to her waist. She has bright eyes and white teeth, a nose as green as jade, and she walks like a colorful cloud. At this moment, even if an immortal descends to earth, she will probably be inferior to her. Such a beauty can only be matched by Cecilia.
Comparable. It is hard to imagine that such a beauty could be the daughter of such a sad-faced Klages.
It must not be his biological child, it must not be his biological child, it must not be his biological child... Xie Feng kept thinking in his heart. According to the laws of genetics, this is unscientific!
I saw Earl Craggs, who was furious just a moment ago. After seeing this woman, his anger immediately disappeared, replaced by a smile that was uglier than crying. Earl Craggs smiled at the woman: "Charlotte"
Te, why did you come down?"
The woman who was called Charlotte smiled slightly after hearing this - this smile could be described as charming. At this time, Fernand also murmured to himself: "If she is willing to be my wife, no matter what I bet in this life, I will lose."
I'm willing to do anything." Charlotte smiled at Count Craggs and said, "I heard my father roaring in the room, so I came down to see what happened. Could someone have annoyed my father?" As she said, Charlotte
Te looked at Xie Feng and the three people standing opposite Count Craggs.
"She's looking at me, she's looking at me..." Fernand began to murmur to himself like an idiot again.
This look only lasted a moment. Charlotte's eyes quickly swept from the three of them and then returned to her father.
"Damn, even though I'm not very handsome, I'm still much prettier than that sad face." Fernand cursed secretly again. Then he suddenly became curious as to why Xie Feng didn't react at all. He stepped forward and turned around to look,
But she found that Xie Feng's expression was empty - he was actually stunned. Sera obviously also noticed Xie Feng's ugly appearance, and stretched out her hand to touch Xie Feng's waist.
"Ah!" A burst of pain brought Xie Feng back to his senses, he touched the sore spot on his waist, turned around and glared at Sera, and cursed: "What are you doing?" Sera looked at Xie Feng meaningfully and half-smiled.
Buxiao asked: "Then what are you looking at?"
Earl Craggs turned around and found that Xie Feng and the others were still where they were, and cursed again: "Why don't you get out!" After saying this, the guards next to him came towards Xie Feng and the others with weapons in hand. Xie Feng could only shrug.
He shrugged, turned around and walked towards the door with the two of them.
Seeing the three people leaving, Charlotte cast a thoughtful look at their backs. After walking out of the castle and the three people received their sidearms, Xie Feng lowered his head and blamed himself: "Oh, good.
But I messed up a negotiation. I couldn’t get the money to open a factory. I’m afraid it will cause trouble for Xiaoke this time.”
Sierra said nonchalantly: "Who lets someone be smart? He is indeed the idiot captain."
Xie Feng glared at Sera and said, "Hey! How many times have I told you not to call me idiot captain!"
Sera smiled slightly and said jokingly: "Okay, as ordered - thank you, little tiger."
Xie Feng raised his fist and said: "You are looking for death!"
Sierra also scolded back: "Aren't you afraid?"
The next moment, the two of them were wrestling with each other like urchins on the street. Fernand on the side sighed and said to himself: "Oh, one has not grown up, and the other has not. You two are really a perfect match.
ah……"
The two had a fuss, and when they got tired of fighting each other, they stopped and started walking around. Anyway, Xie Feng had given up on the peace negotiation and planned to go back tomorrow. It was rare for him to come to Sunuo, so he just walked around.
The architectural style of Sunuo is generally the same as that of Zhivadin. Houses with stone walls are built with stones, and some are covered with a layer of wood. The difference is that the whole house of Zhivadin is usually made of stone. Occasionally, the whole house is made of stone.
You can also see two layers of stones, with the upper layer covered with wood, or a sky attic built with wood in the gap between the two houses. It is rare to see that the lower layer is built with stones, and the second layer is directly built.
Wooden attic. But in Sunuo, the phenomenon of stone on the first floor and wood on the second floor can be seen everywhere. This may be related to the geographical environment. Sunuo is located in a plain and there are two mountains near Zivadin. The nature of one place
The type and quantity of materials determine the architectural characteristics of a place. The stone materials that can be mined in the mountains must be more than those on the plains. As for the pure wooden buildings of the Nord Kingdom - the Nord Kingdom on the seaside
Within the territory, even if you can find stones, they are either as broken as fine sand and cannot be used, or they have been severely eroded by salinity and alkali and will break into pieces if you just knock them. Even if you can find some usable stones, the quantity is very limited. And the stones are
It’s too heavy. If you had to buy it from other places, the cost of the stones used to build one house would probably be enough to buy several houses elsewhere. Therefore, in the Kingdom of Nord, except for castles, other buildings are basically
They are all made of wood.
The three of them walked and watched, and gradually wandered into the market. The sharp-eyed Fernand suddenly said to Xie Feng: "Look, Jack is there."
Xie Feng immediately turned his gaze and found Jack standing in front of a stall, seemingly arguing with the stall owner. Looking at the clothes the stall owner was wearing, he seemed to be from the Salander Sultanate.
Xie Feng took a closer look and saw that the stall was a wooden cart with a large wooden board on it. There was a large and thick pastry-like thing on it, and a small piece of Jack was cut out next to it.
He said angrily: "How can you do this? We agreed at the beginning that these pastries would cost 1 dinar per quart, but how come it costs 48 dinars to cut such a small piece?" The stall owner was a middle-aged man, too.
With a look on his face, he shouted: "Who told you 1 dinar per quart? Can these pastries be so cheap? I clearly said 1 dinar per pound! Look, the brand here is still there
It’s written, no one can be deceived!” As he said that, the stall owner pulled out a small wooden sign from under the wooden cart, and it read crookedly: “Freshly cut pastries, 1 dinar per pound.”
After seeing it, Jack also argued: "Why do these shabby pastries cost so much? Besides, why didn't you put up this brand earlier, and when I first asked you how much this pastry cost, you told me it was 1
Dinar—the most commonly used unit of weight on the market today is clearly quarts instead of pounds!”
The stall owner's face was even more ugly, and he said loudly: "I am from the Salander Sultanate, and what I sell is also our Salander specialty. I don't know what weight unit you use here is the most commonly used one. Anyway, I wrote it in black and white.
It’s written down to 1 dinar per pound. Now that the pastries have been cut, it’s impossible to put them back together. You have to buy them if you want to, or if you don’t want to buy them, you have to buy them!” After saying that, several stall owners nearby were also selling these pastries.
, came forward one after another, holding a bright knife in their hands - it seemed to be a special knife used to cut pastries. A long time later, when Xie Feng came to the Salander Sultanate, he asked no less than 0 people
——"Is your specialty here a kind of large, freshly cut pastry?" The answers I got were: "Freshly cut pastry? What is it? Is it delicious? I don't know what it is, but it sounds like it."
It looks very impressive." Then he asked: "What is the most commonly used unit of weight here?" The answer was: "Of course it is a quarter. Hundreds of years ago, the continent of Calradia used this unit uniformly." Then as follows:
He looked at Xie Feng as if he were a fool - of course, this is something to talk about later.
Jack was a little panicked and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, but then he seemed to suddenly remember something and took his hand back as if he was electrocuted. He said to the stall owner in front of him: "You are obviously a fraud!"
The stall owner sneered and said: "Who defrauded you? If you don't believe me, take this cake to another place to weigh it and see if it is four pounds? Let me tell you, this is already four and a half pounds, I still give it to you at a discount
, you don’t want to drink as a penalty if you don’t eat the toast.” After saying that, the stall owner also took the pastry cutting knife in his hand and shook it towards Jack.
Jack was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wanted to reach for the single knife hanging on his waist with his right hand, but when he raised his hand halfway, he gritted his teeth and put his hand down. Then, he sighed and took it out helplessly in his arms, as if he was admitting defeat.
.
Before Jack could take the money out of his pocket, he suddenly saw a figure flashing next to him. Suddenly a bright light flashed, and the stall owner's stall in front of him was split into two halves, including the cart and the cakes. He took a closer look.
, the one who split open the stall was his new captain - Xie Feng.
After Xie Feng drew his sword and chopped open the stall, he didn't hesitate at all. He raised his foot and kicked the stall owner in the chest. Before the stall owner could react, he firmly accepted Xie Feng's kick and immediately
Like a kite with its string cut off, it flew backwards, hit its back against the wall, and collapsed to the ground, life or death unknown.
