Chapter 641: Caribbean Paradise (asking for votes)
After hearing what Lorraine said, Fiona looked at him strangely, and then couldn't help but ask: "Are you really going to participate in that competition? I thought you were just joking."
Just now, Lorraine, Leo, Vera and Xiaobai, armed with short guns and big sticks, easily defeated a dozen people and robbed them all. Fiona felt that Lorraine and the others must be
A habitual thief who specializes in big business or something.
That’s why Fiona found it strange and thought to herself: “Isn’t this kind of person the most taboo about showing up in public?”
Leo didn't wait for Lorraine to reply, so he nodded matter-of-factly, clenched his fleshy little fists and said excitedly: "Go~ Of course I want to go and have a look. There is money to be made in this competition, why don't we go? I am Lei Guangguang
We have worked so hard to build a reputation, how can we let fakes take advantage of it?"
Fiona couldn't help but feel angry when she heard what he said so confidently, as if she could get the bonus as long as she arrived.
Fiona felt that as long as the people named Lei Luo and Lei Guangguang were having a good time, she would feel very uncomfortable.
After a while, Fiona slowly said: "Don't think it's that simple. This kind of competition has a shady secret. Even if you are really lone thieves, after paying the high registration fee,
It is extremely normal to go in and be judged to be fake by the judges, and to get nothing."
Leo's eyes suddenly lit up and he sighed: "Wow~ I can finally see the unspoken rules in the legend~ It has always been my boss who has unwritten rules for others. I really have never seen what the unspoken rules are like."
Fiona looked at his excited look and couldn't help but feel angry again. She thought to herself: What kind of human nature is this? Taking advantage of beautiful women, grabbing other people's wallets, and also liking unspoken rules, none of them are normal.
She raised her head and glanced at Lorraine, and when she saw him nodding, he was obviously determined to participate in the competition, so she could only sigh.
Lorraine looked at her troubled look and couldn't help but smile inwardly. You must know that participating in the competition is just a cover for him, an excuse to show up.
Lorraine has not forgotten his serious job, inquiring about information within the demon clan. If he wants to find out the information without attracting attention, the best way is to go to a crowded place. There are many people there, what do you want to know?
, you will know just by scanning and listening.
And no matter how strict-mouthed a scoundrel is, he will tell the truth about the number of times he stole chicken after two cups of cat urine.
This is also an important reason why cultural and entertainment institutions such as pubs and brothels will become information exchange centers in any world.
Since Fiona said that it was a public entertainment event and there were many people attending, Lorraine naturally wanted to go inside.
Another very important point is that when you inquire about information, you also need to look at the person you are looking for. You can't just find a tavern and go inside and find out why the demon clan's brains are so crazy that they want to fight with Fantino.
In a country tavern, you can only find out whose woman stole whose man, whose son looks like a neighbor, etc.
Lorraine cast a dark eye on this place again. There must be organizers of this talent show and many businessmen coming to join in the fun. These talents are the most suitable people for inquiring about information.
Everyone chatted for a while, and then the carriage turned around a hill. Then there was a burst of noise accompanied by a slightly salty sea breeze.
Lorraine turned his head and glanced out the window, only to see a large seaport city in the distance.
The harbor is built against a mountain, facing the sea and having mountains at its back. It looks extremely majestic and vast.
The green city wall is several feet high, winding around the foot of the mountain like a belt, stretching all the way to the seaside. It also surrounds the entire harbor.
With mountains and the sea as barriers, the entire city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it extremely dangerous.
Even if the enemy attacks and surrounds the entire city from the outside, as long as the harbor does not fall, there will be no way out and reinforcements will continue to come from the sea.
In the case of a forceful attack, it would be impossible to deploy a large number of troops outside the city.
Moreover, it is condescending in defense and takes advantage of the geographical location. It is easy to push back the enemy. This is simply a perfect fortress. It is no wonder that it will become a big city valued by both sides. The location and terrain of Caribbean Port,
It's really important.
That year, Urban II launched an expedition. He first carried out several years of preparation work, hid a large number of agents, and then cooperated internally and externally to catch everyone by surprise. Only then did he capture this port and use it as a base to launch a protracted campaign.
war.
And although the expedition failed later, the Holy Cross Expeditionary Force of the Holy See still stood in this city for more than a hundred years, creating a legend in the history of Vatican known as the "Last Caribbean Port".
That gang of ruffians used this place as their base, providing a base for the pirates to raid the entire continent and share the spoils from the pirates.
On the one hand, they sent out spies from the Demon Clan and used various means to instigate internal fighting among all parties within the Demon Clan, causing constant civil war within the Demon Clan and consuming a large amount of their strength. Within a hundred years after the end of the Holy Cross Expedition, the Demon Clan did not let the Demon Clan be defeated.
The family lived in peace.
During this period, there were never any demons attacking outside Caribbean Port, but they were always helpless against the high walls of Caribbean and the pirates. Many times, the demon coalition that came to conquer Caribbean Port would attack them first outside the city.
The fight started with a clanging sound.
In the end, the High Priest of the Undead was so angry that he forced the two major demon clans, Thunder Flash and Lingshan, to give up their internal fighting. Then, with the Lingshan clan's heavy general General Ironbilius as the commander, they formed a 200,000-strong coalition and ordered the entire
The mainland provided them with supplies and then stormed Caribbean ports.
After repeatedly being defeated by pirates in naval battles, General Ironhead simply gave up the idea of cutting off the sea route, and used the stupidest human sea tactics on land to build up the walls of the Caribbean.
They finally captured the port after paying a heavy price of nearly 100,000 casualties and a ten-year arduous siege.
Lorraine thought of this and suddenly realized that when he was in the academy, this battle was a classic siege in history, but it had been simulated and deduced, so he could remember it so clearly.
Facts have proved that without artillery or magic cannons that can break open city walls, attacking a city that cannot be surrounded will be extremely costly.
And afterwards, like all underworld bosses who refuse to admit defeat, both sides claimed victory.
The Holy See of Light said that we once went to the Amelia continent and successfully provoked them to fight among themselves. We fought gloriously in the Caribbean Port for more than two hundred years, fully achieving the original strategic goal, and the Caribbean defense war greatly consumed the demons' strength.
With effective strength, we destroyed at least 300,000 of their troops, rendering them unable to invade us.
Finally, based on strategic considerations, to preserve the valuable vitality of the Holy See and prevent the soldiers from bleeding in vain, after making the enemy pay a heavy price, Caribbean Port gloriously completed its historical mission, and the expeditionary force temporarily shifted its strategy.
The demons were also shameless and announced loudly: Under the leadership of the great and glorious high priest, and under the leadership of the heroic General Ironpyreus, our powerful and invincible Semitic coalition forces are coming with the force of thunder.
, defeated those insidious and despicable enemies, beating them with their tails between their legs and running away like wild dogs. Successfully recovered our pearl of the Amelia Sea, the Caribbean port soaked in the blood and glory of our Semitic people.
Here, our hundreds of millions of people shout with one voice, Long live the great and wise High Priest~
Long live the heroic General Ironhead~
Long live the powerful Semitic coalition ~
…
As an eyewitness to that war, the history book of Maple Leaf Danlin Academy written by the mages completely and objectively recorded the entire process.
And maybe out of a dark psychology, or in order to make a perfect supplement. The author also wrote a note in the final supplementary explanation.
On the day of victory, General Ironbileus was immediately relieved of his military power, and then died suddenly on a stormy night ten days later. The cause of death is unknown.
After two hundred years of construction and the stimulation of the pirate economy, the Caribbean Port can also be called a luxury.
After the Semitic coalition invaded the Caribbean Port, a large-scale brawl broke out due to competition for the spoils of war and even more control over the Caribbean Port. With the acquiescence of the generals of both sides, it eventually evolved into a fight throughout the city.
fighting.
The two sides even used armored heavy cavalry to confront each other on the narrow streets. The corpses of direct killings were strewn across the field, blood flowed into rivers, and almost all the buildings in the city were damaged.
It is said that more people died in that fight than in a large-scale attack.
Just as Lorraine was recalling the ancient records about the city in her mind, the carriage slowly came to the city gate.
When the guards on guard saw this carriage, they immediately did not dare to neglect and drove away all the vehicles and pedestrians who were entering and exiting the city gate, leaving a wide road in the middle.
Leo opened the car window and was surprised to see pedestrians on both sides of the road bowing and saluting the carriage respectfully. Even though he was the heir to the throne, it was the first time for Leo to enjoy such treatment.
He looked back and was about to ask a question, but saw Lorraine shake his head and immediately shut his mouth honestly.
Everyone entered the city. Lorraine found that this city was worthy of being the pearl of Amelia, and it was also extremely prosperous. Both sides of the road were lined with rows of shops, and those shops were also filled with all kinds of goods, a dazzling array of countless goods.
Among these products, many have never been seen before and are full of exotic continental style.
When Leo saw those novel things, his eyes widened immediately, he kept pointing at those things, yelling, and asking Fiona seriously.
Vera also held open the car window on the other side and looked at those things curiously. Her eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Lorraine, however, was also seriously appreciating the city and feeling the alien customs that hit her face.
The customs here seem to be extremely open.
Those demon girls with long legs and thin waists only wore cool clothes, revealing their white and delicate skin, showing their infinite youthful vitality.
From time to time, they chased and played, letting out strings of laughter like silver bells.
Pedestrians on the road didn't think it was strange, but looked at them with admiration.
But those girls had no scruples and responded provocatively with their bright and fiery eyes. Then they whispered a few words to their companions, and then burst into crisp laughter.
Lorraine looked at their beautiful miniskirts...well, the long, toned, snow-white legs under the miniskirts. She couldn't help feeling that the corners of her mouth were a little wet: This is really a man's paradise~
Fiona looked at Lorraine's appearance, and didn't care to talk to Leo at the moment. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lorraine's eyes, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay. Wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth quickly.
It’s about to fall to the ground.”
At this time, she finally confirmed that these guys were indeed bandits who came down from some ravine. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so ignorant, yelling and screaming no matter what they saw. They were always the same.
Help the old man.
Especially that Lei Luo, it was as if he had never seen a woman in eight lifetimes. After seeing the girl on the street, his eyes almost popped out of his head, his mouth was grinning, and he was so embarrassed. It was really embarrassing.
She paused for a moment and then continued: "When you get off the car, walk away quickly and don't say you know me. I really can't afford to embarrass that person."
Leo curled his lips, then pulled her sleeves, pointed at the things outside and said: "Quick, look, what is this? It's red, round, so beautiful~"
Fiona took a look and said: "That's the lover's fruit. It's red like a lover's heart, so it's named. Does it look good? But be careful, it's poisonous. You can only look at it but not eat it."
After I finished speaking, I immediately woke up and felt a red "well" on my forehead - these scoundrels actually ignored what I just said~
This hurts your self-esteem too much~
Just when she was about to have a seizure, Lorraine raised his head and glanced at the fruit, and then asked curiously: "It's poisonous? Are you sure?"
Fiona immediately hesitated. Although she didn’t know why, the way Lorraine drooled just now made her hate her teeth. But at this time, when Lorraine asked something, her mind suddenly changed and she even became angry.
All forgotten.
She glanced at it and then replied seriously: "Although we call that kind of fruit 'Lover's Fruit', it also has another name, called wolf peach. After eating it, a kind of lump will appear."
This is just like those mushrooms, although they are colorful, they are also extremely poisonous."
As he spoke, he sighed softly.
Leo was extremely ignorant and said seriously: "So, this lover's heart is poisonous? No wonder people say that the most poisonous woman's heart is, so the allusion comes from here~"
Fiona couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. In the end, she could only look at Leo's chubby little face, sighed softly, and said with a pun: "I didn't expect you know so much at such a young age~
"
Leo suddenly became very happy, raised his head, and said proudly: "Of course. You don't want to see who I am? Is the title of the Lone Hero in vain?
We have also opened companies, run casinos, opened incense halls, chopped off chicken heads, drank blood wine, and been among the high-level elites of the underworld.
Wahahahahaha..."
Lorraine watched Leo being led into the ditch by Fiona in an extremely insidious manner, but she didn't say anything at the moment. She just asked, "By the way, do you have any famous hotels here that you can recommend?"
Fiona was stunned and looked at Lorraine in surprise, speechless for a moment.
Looking at her expression, Lorraine couldn't help but hesitate a little, and said carefully: "What? Did I say something wrong?"
Fiona gritted her teeth and said: "What a bunch of country idiots! Are there any like you? I know you are idiots. If someone else had come here, they would have slapped you in the face."
When you ask a lady which hotel is the best, do you think my aunt has often booked rooms outside before?"
Later, she became angrier as she spoke, and roared at Lorraine, showing her sharp teeth like an angry she-wolf.
Lorraine looked at her appearance and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Okay, okay. I'll apologize, right? You don't have to spray all the spit on my face, right?"
Fiona snorted coldly and then sat back down.
At this time, I felt a shock in my body, and then there was a sound of braking. Finally, the carriage stopped steadily.
Then, the driver's voice came. "Miss, the competition venue has arrived."
Fiona was stunned and lost her voice: "This...is here so soon?"
After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. She blushed and then glanced at Lorraine, only to see that he had turned his head to look at the competition field, as if he didn't notice what she said at all.
Fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he couldn't help biting his lips, and a faint feeling of disappointment rose from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Leo eagerly pushed open the car door, shouted, jumped down, and stood firmly on the ground.
Vera saw that there were many people on the street and was afraid that something might happen to him, so she hurriedly followed them.
Xiaobai also slowly stuck out his butt and stepped back from the car.
Lorraine turned around, only to find that Fiona had been staring at him intently. She couldn't help but was startled, reached out and touched her face, and said, "What?"
Fiona immediately looked away, lowered her gaze, and said in a panic: "No...it's nothing."
Lorraine smiled, stood up, and said, "Now that we have arrived, let's say goodbye. Thank you for taking us on this journey."
With that said, he also jumped out of the car. Then he closed the car door heavily.
Fiona bit her lip, then stuck her head out of the window and said, "If, I mean if. If you can't find a place to live, you can come to me at the City Guards Mansion.
You...don't think wrongly. I just thought that we are friends after all, so it's okay to help with small things like accommodation."
After she finished speaking, she saw Leo standing majestically on the street. Then, without avoiding anyone at all, he unbuttoned his pants, took out his little elephant, faced the avenue, and started to release water...
When the passers-by saw this, they couldn't help but talk in low voices and pointed at the carriage here.
Fiona was immediately ashamed beyond measure. These idiots actually urinated in the street. It was really a big mistake to get to know these country bumpkin people. No matter what, she couldn't afford to embarrass this person.
She immediately shrank her neck and hid back in the carriage, pretending not to recognize these ruffians who had no qualities at all.
The coachman bared his teeth, nodded and smiled at everyone in Lorraine, then waved his whip and drove the carriage on the road.
At this time, Leo had finished urinating. He shook his head twice and then put on his pants again.
He raised his head and saw that everyone around him was pointing in this direction. He glared and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? You haven't seen me peeing before?"
Damn it, grandma, you dare to say bad things about me behind my back. You all think it’s cheap~
How many years later, you can boast that you have witnessed how the ‘intangible cultural heritage’ was born~”
As he said that, he fastened his pants and then slapped his belt heavily in a demonstrative manner.
Everyone had nothing to do with him as a child.
The city guards nearby looked at it, but they all pretended not to see it and quietly turned away. But they saw with their own eyes where that shameless little hooligan came from. That was the treasure of the city guard.
My daughter’s carriage~
To be able to have the eldest lady, who always has a high regard, deliver it personally, she must be rich or noble. It is definitely not something that a petty official like me can afford to offend.
Let alone peeing in the street, just pooping. For the sake of their own jobs, everyone can only pretend not to see it.
It's hard to say that some masters of flattery will see an opportunity, run forward, and then respectfully hand over a piece of toilet paper...
Lorraine was extremely helpless about Leo's problem of peeing wherever he went. After all, he had an unknown father who was also like this, peeing wherever he went. As a result, he was ruined.
But then again, as a great politician of a generation, you have to have some small problems. Caesar's epilepsy, Hannibal's one eye, Churchill's preference for bare buttocks, Roosevelt's polio, Xiao Xige's mania...
…
In comparison, Leo just likes to pee in the street, which is much better than them.
At this moment, Leo reached out his hand, wiped...well, the cloak on Xiao Bai's back vigorously, and then walked towards this side with a smile.
Lorraine ignored him, but concentrated on the competition venue in front of her.
Apparently this was originally a large open-air theater. It was only temporarily borrowed and turned into a competition venue.
There were several people guarding the entrance, selling tickets and collecting money. They loudly solicited passers-by.
"Look, look, look, the hero of Thunder and Light is here, coming to our theater..."
"If a person doesn't know Hero Lei, even calling him a hero is in vain."
"For only fifty gold coins, you can see the true face of the hero, and you can also get the hero's autograph. First come, first served..."
"For only two hundred and thirty-five gold coins, the beauties can have lunch with Buffett... uh, bah, bah, bah, and Mr. Lei. They will also give you a mysterious gift."
"Opportunities are rare, don't miss it."
"The most exciting moment is coming soon~
Hero Lei will be selected soon~
Who is the final winner of this super imitation show..."
"..."
Lorraine listened carefully, and there were also lively sounds coming from the theater. Sometimes there would even be a burst of warm applause, or cheers, or a burst of boos and mocking laughter.
It seems that this competition is reaching a fever pitch.
Leo always liked the excitement, so he ran towards the theater when he was the one in front.
