Chapter 1001 Skirts and Economy (seeking a monthly pass)
The officials of the Almohad Empire, headed by Her Majesty Queen Isabella, held a grand and warm welcome ceremony at the gate of the imperial city of Abdelwad.
Warmly welcome the Laohe troops represented by Archduke Julius to the Almohad to maintain world peace and the stability of the regional situation and ensure the safety of lives and property of the people.
Although the two parties had already met at Hafs Port and had held this kind of ceremony, they still had to perform it again in public.[..com]
This is the sad thing about the figure at the center of politics.
Although they know that their alliance is absolutely unbreakable, and many people also know that their alliance is unbreakable, the public does not know.
Once they fail to demonstrate this unbreakable alliance to the public, with the keen political sense of the people in the capital, all kinds of rumors will be released the next day.
For example, "Her Majesty the Queen is at odds with the Lao He Bu Brigade", "Her Majesty the Queen was bullied by the Lao He Bu Troop". "Your Majesty, the Commander of the Lao He Bu Troop, was actually defrauded of money and sex by that she-wolf"''
''''Even, like "Your Majesty the Queen is fighting for a long time"
A huge game of mahjong was waiting for Lao Hebu's team to go to the front line. She took action from behind and cooperated with General Hadu inside and outside to deal with these hateful soldiers in one fell swoop. Then with the help of General Hadu
, work hard to revive our Almohad Empire~!”
With the terrifying wisdom of those dead people, they will definitely make up stories that would scare even the high priests of the undead.
When the time comes, rumors will be flying all over the sky, which will inevitably make people panic and alienate.
At that time, even if we go to great lengths to refute the rumors, we will still suffer certain or even considerable losses.
Instead of acting like that, it's better to act better now and save those dead bitches with a burning spirit of gossip from gossiping in private.
The senior officials of both sides stood under the scorching sun and said some useless words. Moreover, they all had to be extremely solemn and could not slack off at all. Even their faces had to be filled with the most standard smiles.
With all the conscience of heaven and earth, these are all from a noble family, the elite among the elites. Ever since they were young, they have never spent more than five minutes under the sun.
But now, they had to stand for a full fifty minutes to complete all kinds of delicate and complicated rituals.
Everyone was dripping with sweat.
Some of the nobles who had put on heavy makeup before arriving had their faces streaked with sweat, looking like the legendary zebras.
Several well-known courtesans revealed their horrible true colors at this welcome ceremony.
According to Lorraine's statistics, the temperature at that time must have been at least about 42 degrees Celsius.
But these poor guys all have to persevere.
Although they were all paid, Sir Luo still admired their professionalism with such dedication.
Finally, when the hands of Her Majesty the Queen and the Grand Duke gently held each other's hands, a burst of extremely warm and heartfelt cheers suddenly broke out from all around.
This is a matter of course, and those guys have enough reason to give out loud cheers - this damn ceremony is finally over~! After the welcome ceremony, according to the procedures, there will be a large-scale wandering behavior to mark the peacekeeping team.
In solidarity, cooperation and military might, all the countries that form the peacekeeping force must hold the flags of their own countries and walk in a circle on the avenue in Abdelwad City to accept the cheers of the people in the capital.
Not to mention those countries that have officially sent soldiers, even small countries that have only sent a few or two observers cannot be left behind at this time.
People were like a torrent, flags were like dense forests, and amid the vigorous and exciting military music, the mighty soldiers strode on the avenue leading directly to the palace from Abdelwad.
Although the temperature was still very high, it could not resist the hunger, thirst, boredom, and turmoil of these soldiers.
After all, after such a long period of training and practice, all the people I see all day long are big men. Now even if I see a sow, I will feel like I have double eyelids.
Not to mention, Almohad is in the tropics, and the girls here are all enthusiastic and unrestrained, wearing cool clothes, all showing their snow-white thighs, and the same snow-white and greasy skin as in large tracts. Just thinking about it is enough to make
These soldiers had nosebleeds like crazy.
They polished their armors and tidied their clothes meticulously. They each looked their most handsome, straightened their backs, held their swords in their hands, and walked among the crowd with their heads held high, but their thieving eyes were looking around dishonestly.
cast a glance.
"Wow, why is this so ugly?"
"Hey''''I saw Sister Feng just now."
"That's nothing, I just saw Ruhua." "It's so beautiful~!"
"Where? Where? Where?"
"Front left, second row, blue clothes."
"Eight points~!"
"Cut it, at most seven points."
"She looked at me, she looked at me~!"
"Go away, she is obviously looking at me."
"Blind your dog eyes, that's a man."
"I x~!"
"''''''" The peacekeeping team passed through the outer city, the Arc de Triomphe, the inner city, and the large monument'''''' Especially the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine at the front of the team, who was almost blinded by his golden armor.
Abdwad's eyes overshadowed Queen Isabella and Archduke Julius, because he was completely shrouded in light.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lorraine always waved cordially to the crowds on both sides, and wherever he passed, he was greeted with cheers.
The three thousand orc heavy infantry behind Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lorraine were as conspicuous as him.
Black armor, burly figures, heavy weapons, ferocious eyes, and dull sounds when footsteps hit the ground. After the queue passed by, they left behind a trail of broken floor tiles.
In the eyes of the people of Abdwad, they are as terrifying as monsters.
Although they knew that these soldiers were from their side, when they saw those menacing soldiers passing in front of them, they even held their breath for fear of attracting each other's attention.
It wasn't until the soldiers walked away that they started talking quietly.
"Are those Orcs?"
"Is he that person's subordinate?"
"It's really as scary as that person."
"God of light, it's so scary. Just one look at it makes people scared out of their wits."
"''''''" At this time, the real Lord Luo was sneaking out with Leo.
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat like a cowboy hat on his head, with the brim pulled down low, Shi Shiran was walking on the streets of Abdwad City.
Leo held a popsicle in his hand and chewed it, showing off his hard teeth. At the same time, he rolled his big black and white eyes and glanced around with a sly eyebrow.
Many shops on the street are closed at this time, and they are quite old, as if they have been closed for more than a day or two.
Leo pointed to the closed stores and said with emotion: "Boss, have you seen that it's a bit depressed here~!"
Lorraine also nodded slightly.
This street is the main road of Abdwad City and the most important commercial street in the imperial city. Like in Ruman City, the shops in this location really cost a lot of money. They are all famous flagship stores. A skirt
At least ten thousand and eight thousand gold coins must be slaughtered.
There is no most expensive, only more expensive.
Owning a shop in this location can make a lot of money every day.
The situation here is the same as in Ruman City. Luxuriously decorated stores are located next to each other on both sides of the road, but most of them are closed.
Although there was a welcome ceremony today, when Lorraine and Leo came over, most of the shops along the way were not open.
"But," Lorraine touched her nose and said, "The skirts of the girls on the street are very short. It doesn't look like there is an economic crisis."
According to the principle of economics, when the economic conditions are better, the skirts of girls on the street will be shorter.
On the contrary, if the skirts of girls on the street are getting longer and longer, it means that the economic conditions here are continuing to deteriorate.
Of course Leo understood this. He nodded in agreement, touched his chin and said, "This is not common sense."
After Lorraine's eyes scanned the crowd several times, without Catherine and the others following her, Lorraine could finally glance at beauties on the street without restraint.
In the hot summer, it is really a pleasure to watch girls in cool clothes walking past me with most of their beautiful white legs exposed.
However, after a moment, he couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Tsk~! Back in the Imperial City, the quality of this beauty is not that good''''''"
This sentence hurt the sense of honor of the people in the Abdelwad Imperial City next to them.
Generally speaking, the residents of the Imperial City and Imperial City have a strong sense of pride and regard themselves as one, two, three, etc. higher than non-Imperial City residents.
When facing foreigners, especially manual workers who come from small rural areas to make a living, they naturally have a strong sense of superiority. The aura is definitely different.
Hearing Lorraine and Leo disparaging their place, the best place in the Almohad Empire, this man was naturally unwilling. He glared at Lorraine and said: "Foreigners''''''"
Lorraine and Leo's accents are different from theirs.
“What you see is not even at the ordinary level,” the Abdwad resident said dissatisfiedly in the tone of an official spokesperson: “If you don’t understand the situation, please don’t talk nonsense. We in Abdwad
The beauties are famous in mainland China. I tell you, our city of Abdwad ''''''''
Lorraine couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and thought: Famous? I've never heard of this.
Leo pointed to the crowd and said: "Is this what you call famous? Although I admit that beauties are all compared to each other, but at least give me someone to compare with."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed to the front of the team and said to the glittering pseudo-Lorraine deputy commander: "Isn't this guy all responsible for the trouble?"
"Huh?" Leo pulled the corner of Lorraine's clothes in surprise, came over, and gloated in a low voice: "Boss, he said it was you who did it."
Lorraine spread her hands and said, dumbfounded: "What does this have to do with me?"
Huang Chenggen waved his hands impatiently and said, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about him. He's as bright as a dung beetle. Is it great to have more money?"
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated for a moment.
This is really a bit hurtful to my self-esteem. Even though I am dressed in glittering gold, it seems, maybe, a bit like a nouveau riche. But I shouldn’t say this.
This is too unqualified. I need to talk to Hilmeria later and ask her sister Biao to take good care of them and educate these guys better.
The guard next to him snorted coldly and was about to step forward - Grandma, even if you are telling the truth, don't be so blind and say it in front of him?
Lorraine calmly shook her head and asked him to retreat. At least, the prince still had some tolerance.
The man glanced at the guard strangely, but didn't care. He continued: "You don't know. This guy is so angry. He is known as a land-scraping master who is three feet high in the sky. It's because he is coming to our city.
Half of the people ran away."
Then he pointed at the shops on the street and said angrily: "Everyone in the imperial city who has some money has fled. Our shops have no customers, so they have to close down. Those who are killed today are indeed the brothers of Pluto. Where are they?"
People are unlucky."
The waiter behind Lorraine shouted with a straight face: "Hey, kid, be careful what you say."
Lorraine waved his hand to his own people and said: "Is Lorraine that scary? Why don't I know? I heard that he has a good reputation. He helps the poor, punishes rape and eliminates evil, and so on."
Leo curled his lips next to him and murmured in a low voice: "Boss, don't you think you are shabby?"
The resident said dissatisfied: "It's not all because he shaved too hard last time. Since he left, those of us who opened boutiques in the past two years have not even had half of our previous business income, but at least we still have it."
I can hold on. The market just got a little busier, and he came again~! Who is not afraid of those who have been tortured by him? Now it’s great, even the door is closed. If you don’t believe it, go to the inner city and take a look now, it’s almost done
It’s a ghost town, and except for the officials, everyone else has fled to the countryside to seek refuge.”
Leo's eyes rolled, he grabbed the man and asked: "Where is Chairman Leo? Chairman Leo is here too, are you not afraid of him?"
The man shook his head and said in retrospect, "Chairman Leo is a good person~!"
Leo grinned after hearing this and thought to himself: You are the good person, and your whole family is a good person!
"When Chairman Leo was here," the Abdelwad resident said with a smile, "there were horse racing, football leagues, and lottery tickets to help everyone make a fortune together."
Then he shook his head and said, "It was so fun that year~!"
Lorraine nodded. All the rich people in the city were fleeing. Naturally, there were fewer beauties. No wonder there were no ladies and ladies on the balconies of high-rise buildings, covering their faces with fans while looking at the people striding by.
The strong man drooled.
Lorraine reached out and patted the man on the shoulder and said, "If you want to make money, I advise you to open the shop now."
"
Wherever there are customers, we cannot give wages to employees when we open the door."
Lorraine pointed at the peacekeeping team passing by and said, "Aren't these all customers?"
At the same time, he thought to himself: What's more, I have several people at home, and they have all planned how they will go shopping for Abdwad in the past few days.
The man's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and shouted, "You are absolutely right."
Then he left Lorraine behind, turned around and ran away. Lorraine and Leo wandered all the way, following the wandering peacekeeping team into the inner city of Abdelwad.
The inner city is where dignitaries live, and the palace is in the middle of the inner city.
Along the way, Lorraine found that the entire inner city did seem lifeless. Every door was closed, and an eye-catching extra-large copper lock was hung on the door bolt, telling others that there was no one here anymore. The layer of dust falling on the door showed that
, no one has been here for a while.
The headquarters of the peacekeeping force is located next to the palace. It was originally the residence of several great nobles. It was only said that Lorraine wanted to use it, so Queen Isabella easily commandeered them.
In the past few years, this would have been unimaginable. These old coffin ladles would have shouted that "private property is sacrosanct."
No matter how noble he recited the sentence "My house, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter", then a large group of people applauded him.
But after Lorraine made them poor, Queen Isabella made them weak again, and now these people are much more obedient.
These houses are spacious and luxurious, much more comfortable than the small place in Hafs.
The entire peacekeeping team was very satisfied with this, but Archduke Julius was the only one who felt a little unhappy in the new environment.
After arriving at Abdelwad, Queen Isabella had to live in the palace. Grand Duke Julius could no longer sneak over and harass others whenever he had time.
Although you can go to Queen Isabella at any time now, you have to cross several palace walls and walk for half an hour.
Of course, Queen Isabella would not tell Archduke Julius that there was a secret passage from the palace to a certain room where the peacekeeping force was deployed.
This is not in Hafs, so you can occasionally fish for fun.
Many pairs of eyes in the imperial city are watching them. Queen Isabella must pay attention to the international influence.
Early in the morning the day after the peacekeeping force settled down, the main officials of the central government of the Almohad Empire eagerly invited the leadership of the peacekeeping force to discuss plans for future operations.
In a main hall of the Almohad Palace, Grand Duke Julius and Lorraine sat safely on one side of the long table, looking at the Almohad officials opposite, and behind them, the chief officials.
Leo was also sitting next to Lorraine, boredly carving turtles on a two-hundred-year-old walnut table with a knife.
Almohad, who was standing next to him, felt his heart twitch as he watched.
Queen Isabella was sitting on the main throne in the main hall dressed in gorgeous clothes. As for the emperor of the Almohad Empire, he had been ill for a long time.
He has been recuperating in the harem all the time, and he will never get better or die anyway.
The Almohad officials on the opposite side were mainly the Prime Minister, the Marquis de Vichamp, and anyone of any importance was present at the meeting, a mass of heads in the darkness.
There are almost ten times more people than Lorraine and the others, but their cautious and timid attitude is much worse than that of the peacekeeping team.
At the beginning, a general manager of Almohad talked a lot of useless nonsense, which basically meant "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
According to the rules, the people from the peacekeeping team should come out and be polite at this time, saying something like "I'm new to this precious place, please take care of me."
However, Grand Duke Julius and Lorraine didn't mean anything like that. They didn't even bother to say anything. They just waved their hands and said, "Let's get down to business."
