Chapter 25 This year's economic downturn

Chapter 25 The economy is in recession this year

With a smile on her face, Lorraine said softly: "Now do you understand how to threaten people?"

The young priest raised his head in surprise and saw the strange light shining in Lorraine's eyes, and the cold murderous aura made him breathless.

He immediately understood that the other party was not joking, but would really kill him.

The cold and arrogant aura of this young divine envoy who was arrogant and arrogant due to his youthful success immediately disappeared. His face turned pale with fright, his legs were trembling, and he couldn't even speak, so he could only nod reluctantly.

For a moment, he even felt a little wet in his crotch, and he didn't know if he was so scared that he peed.

Lorraine hugged him affectionately and continued: "That's right. I taught you so selflessly, and now we should be considered friends, right? But now that you want to leave, I won't keep you."

"It's just that when you have nothing to do in the future, you must bring a gift, bring a smile, and come back often. Even if you just brush your chopsticks and wash the dishes, and then talk about the Beibei Mountain in our temple, I won't do it to you.

What a contribution you made to me..."

While reciting the lyrics, he sent the pastor to the door, then patted him on the back and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, goodbye. Let's see you later. I won't see you off. Have a nice trip."

The priest lowered his head timidly, not daring to look into his eyes, and said dryly: "Yes, yes. Sir. You don't need to send it away."

After saying that, he led a group of priests and fled in a hurry, not even daring to look back.

Lorraine looked at their embarrassed escape, reluctantly took out a yellow handkerchief, held it hypocritically and waved it gently in her hand, but a trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes, and she cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of despicable idealists.

.”

An old voice next to him said: "Idealist? How can an idealist be despicable?"

When the priests ran to the river and fished Dorins out of the river, another burst of enthusiastic cheers broke out in the castle. It was obvious that Lorraine had beaten them and chased them out like dogs.

It's open.

Dorlins woke up, shook the water on his head, and cursed angrily: "These ungrateful nobles, when I repay the Lord Bishop, I must make them look good."

The young priest couldn't help but tremble when he thought of Lorraine's words, and whispered: "Sir, why bother? This is a madman, there is nothing to argue with him."

Dorlins was stunned for a moment, and then someone came over and whispered the exact words Lorraine said at that time. He couldn't help but froze.

As a senior cleric, he is not a stupid person, but he usually lives a comfortable life with fine wine and delicious food, and there are also a lot of people around him who flatter him, which makes him completely forget how many bowls of dry rice he can really eat.

According to the investigation, although the young nobleman was young, he brazenly went to slay the dragon.

Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, the scary thing is that after he went there, the dragon really disappeared. And there were indeed traces of a battle in the area. A hill was moved to the ground.

.

They even found traces of the shame of Maple Leaf Danlin Academy, the infamous lich, the despicable ghoul, and the butcher Edwood of Barkat City at the scene. And it was obvious that he had also been defeated.

. Judging from the local plant contamination and the leakage of magic power, Edwood's phylactery is likely to be damaged. His strength will not be restored for less than 180 years.

Even though no one believed that the young man had such strength, no matter what, his courage to face powerful enemies and not be afraid of death was enough to impress everyone.

If you really offend him, he...he might really kill you~!

This is really crazy. How can the world be like this? In other words, you have tried your best to flatter your boss and climb up on the shoulders of your colleagues. Now that you have the power, you can compete with the people of the province.

The governor is an equal. You can drink the best wine, eat the best food, and talk to the most beautiful and noble aristocratic ladies and make the most obscene jokes, but when facing such a small noble, you still have to

Stay away.

At this time, the girl who was as delicate as a doll suddenly jumped out of his mind. Dolins recalled the scene at that time and had no doubt that the other party was ruthless. If the river hadn't saved his life, he might have been thrown

It turned into a pile of meat.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. He had gone through a lot of hard work to climb to the position of assistant to the bishop. He still had a great future ahead and a good life waiting for him. If he really got into trouble with that person, he could not help but shudder.

The poor nobleman, maybe... no, definitely, he will destroy them all.

He thought for a long time, with a gloomy look on his face. Finally he stood up slowly and said, "You are right. We really can't compete with such a homeboy."

He turned his head, looked at the castle not far away, and cursed in a low voice: "Madman, a madman."

Lorraine turned around and looked at the mages opposite. All of them were cleanly dressed and had bright eyes. They were like those in fairy tales who lived in the forest and turned lost children into toads, then threw them into a pot to make a pot.

A wizard who eats potato and toad soup for lunch is totally different.

He had a vague fondness for these mages in his heart.

Although they came together with those dead bald people, when the stupid pastor was talking nonsense, these people were like seeing a pile of shit, and they stayed away from those guys with disgust. And when

When he beat someone up, he also abided by his duties as a guest, sat there without saying a word, and did not rush over to make excuses.

He turned back and ordered his butler: "Ferro, treat friendly guests the best. Give these guests the best beer in our castle."

Ferro thought about the inventory in his wine cellar, and couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment on his face, but he still agreed and backed out.

At this time, an old mage with white hair and wrinkles on the opposite side stood up from his chair and said: "Count Lorraine, you haven't answered my question yet? Why do you say idealists are despicable?"

Lorraine smiled and said: "Because idealists always sit on the pit, figure out their ideals, and then brag and exaggerate everywhere. And when facing threats and setbacks, they always look for

Come up with a lot of reasons to modify your ideals."

The mage thought about it for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "This description is really vivid."

Only then did Lorraine notice that the other person was holding a staff with a huge blue crystal ball on the top. Magic light like water patterns could not help but flow out of the crystal ball, which was extremely beautiful.

This made him secretly frightened. A blue magic weapon with attribute bonuses like this was obviously not something that could be equipped by unscrupulous vendors selling fake rat poison on the street with electric speakers.

He looked up at the old man and said, "I haven't asked for advice yet, Your Excellency..."

The old mage bowed slightly and said: "For the warrior who dares to stand up for the people, Lester, the vice president of the Imperial Mage Association, consultant to the court magician, and professor of the magic department of Maple Leaf Danlin College, would like to pay tribute to you."

Lorraine couldn't help but feel shocked. Apart from anything else, just by hearing the long list of titles, she knew that the person in front of her was an extraordinary person.

Thinking of this, his face suddenly became serious. After asking the mage to sit down again, he asked: "Sir, what do you want from me?"

He paused and then added: "Let's talk about it first. If it's a loan, it will be waived. This year's business is not good, and I have just been knocked out of a large amount of money by a group of bad quacks.

There is a famine going on."

Those mages also prescribed several potions to Lorraine. Although they didn't charge as much as the priests, they were not polite when they started. Listening to him pointing at the bald head and scolding the bald donkey, they couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

After taking a look, there was a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

When the old mage saw the colors on the faces of his subordinates, he immediately understood. He couldn't help but feel a little disdainful on his face, and he was quite disapproving of these subordinates in his heart, but they were still his subordinates after all. So he smiled and said: "

Don’t worry, sir. I’m not here to borrow money.”

As he spoke, he sighed and added: "But having said that, the economic climate this year is indeed not very good. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Even magicians like us are often owed wages when we receive subsidies.

, it’s an idle note. No one can do anything about it.

In order to supplement the family income, I had to sell some potions and the like. By the way, I also heard that someone set up a street stall at the night market, but was arrested by the patrolling security department. This is how everyone worked hard to make ends meet.

To maintain the family's livelihood..."

Lorraine listened to his nagging and complaining, and couldn't help but shudder. She thought to herself: This old guy is so good at pretending. According to what he said, a good young man like himself, who is known as an iron rooster who never pulls out a dime, would like to take it out.

wallet and give him two copper coins.

Therefore, I hurriedly interrupted him and said: "Mr. President, please tell me what exactly you want to see me for."

The old mage showed a look of disappointment on his face and said: "That's it, that's fine. Oh, it's such a pity. As we get older, we rarely have the opportunity to chat with others happily."

He coughed twice softly, and then sat up straight. His face was stern, and two gleams of light suddenly appeared in his eyes. His whole person immediately showed an overwhelming aura, which made people feel even more stressed.

Lester said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the main purpose of my visit this time is to investigate the situation of the large-scale magic battle that took place in Qinglin Mountain a few days ago."
