In the early morning, the huge noise that had lasted almost the whole night gradually subsided, and the city once again returned to its former calm.
The sun slowly rose from the horizon, and light came once again. Those civilians who had been frightened all night and were hiding in their beds shivering found that this morning was very different compared to the previous days.
Same.
There are no more tax collectors, officers and soldiers who bully us everywhere and extort money at random for any reason.
There are no more those nobles and knights who are wearing bright clothes and angry horses. When they see a beautiful girl, they rush to snatch her home. Then they openly exercise the sacred right of first night given to them by the law and hold an unobstructed meeting.
There is a strange and leisurely mood floating in the air.
Ever since His Majesty the Emperor promulgated the right of first night, that kind of smell has never appeared again in this city that was once famous for its vacation and leisure.
The residents bravely opened the door a small crack and looked outside. They were surprised to find soldiers lying down under the eaves on the sides of the avenue.
The young and tender faces of those soldiers were all full of exhaustion after the war, and they were fast asleep.
On the street, patrols passed by from time to time. Although they were energetic, their faces were filled with a strange light. They were like phoenixes emerging from the fire, full of hope for life.
This is not surprising. When the emperor and old Despi were captured, it marked the end of this war.
Even if the Maple Army withdraws, the royalists are leaderless, have no strength and no reason to launch an attack on the Queen and others.
The conservative faction headed by the Queen are all extremely pragmatic. They are completely different from the dead rabbit that His Majesty the Emperor trusted who only knows how to sell butts and take bribes and bend the law~!
She knows how to govern a country well, and of course she will no longer tax her people arbitrarily. From now on, everyone will live in peace again.
Some residents boldly asked the patrol: "Who are you?"
At that moment, some soldiers proudly replied: "We are the new imperial army led by Her Majesty the Queen. We are completely different from the noble and corrupt officials who oppressed you. This time we are here to welcome Your Majesty, clean up your side and kill the traitors. You no longer have to be afraid in the future."
It’s over~!”
It immediately aroused a burst of warm cheers.
These residents have long hated the nobles, officers and soldiers who only shouted "righteousness" and then rushed to their homes to steal money, things, and women.
Although they still had some concerns about these new troops, when they saw that they would rather lie on the street than harass them, they knew that they were definitely not bad people.
What's more, after experiencing those noble and corrupt officials who are like locusts, they have been scrapped to the point where there is almost no oil or water left. Even if the situation is worse, how bad can it be?
They immediately returned home and took out a few bottles of bad wine from the depths of the cellar, or took out the sausages that they were reluctant to eat during the New Year and were about to become dry firewood. Or they took out the behinds of chickens.
eggs, and finally called out his daughter who was about to get married, and happily had a carnival with the soldiers.
In addition to celebrating the fall of the bad guys who were riding on their heads, it is also to appease the current soldiers and ruffians, hoping that they can talk more to the new leaders for the sake of their enthusiasm.
Of course it would be better if you can reduce some of the burdens on yourself, or even speculate and get some benefits from the process.
Some of the smarter ones among them saw that all the government agencies had been taken over by the people of Lorraine. It was impossible for them to follow the example of their predecessors, inherit and carry forward their great and glorious traditions, and take the opportunity to grab some things and come back.
But they are not helpless.
Everyone stepped forward one after another and acted as traitors, helping the occupying army and the new army lead the way, guiding the former nobles and corrupt officials to their mistresses' residences and villas. And then they also secretly reaped some benefits from the process.
In a word, opportunity is just around the corner, it depends on whether you can take it or not.
Everyone works together to get rich through hard work and make money together. Everyone is busy and happy.
It's just that those mistresses and wives managed to get rich with money. The noble Lord, after just two days of living a good life for the feudal landlord class, he was about to face these fierce bandits who came in.
.I was so scared that I lost my mind at the moment.
Moreover, those guys took advantage of the working people's essential characteristics of thrift, hard work and simplicity. Just like a moving company, they ransacked the entire house. Not to mention the buttons, even the rice in the rice vat was gone.
They turned me upside down.
These poor people realized that they had lost all their money, and then they realized the importance of diversifying their investments. They all cried out at the moment.
But the common people showed no mercy to them, just as no one had mercy on them when the noble officials rode on their heads, desperately sucked their flesh and blood, and plundered the people's fat and anointing.
As the commander, Lorraine still had not rested at this time. He was dealing with various matters after the occupation, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit.
There were cheers coming from outside his window, but the pen tip only paused slightly, and then continued to sign orders and process official documents.
They raided that night and captured many prisoners. There were many dignitaries and many imperial families involved.
They are all intertwined with tangled roots and lush branches. They all need to be handled with caution. Once something goes wrong, it will cause a chain reaction.
Although the guys who followed the emperor didn't have any good birds, even if they were killed with one knife, they would still be fine, but if they were not treated carefully, their raw pork would be cut indiscriminately.
It would be very troublesome for those wavering middle elements among them to see it and defect to General Hardou in anger.
Even Lord Lorraine had to handle it carefully and look at it one by one.
But when he picked up the next document, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It read that according to reliable information, the second prince Gondores had arrived safely in the southern province fifteen days ago.
Lorraine couldn't help but think of the young man who negotiated with him when he was in Maple Leaf Danlin. Unexpectedly, he ran very fast.
He thought about it for a moment, then turned around and asked the officer beside him: "Among the prisoners we captured this time when we entered the city, is there any whereabouts of Crown Prince Takade?"
The officer was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and rummaged through the pile of documents, and finally replied: "Sir, a group of prisoners are still under investigation, but they followed the order when they entered the city. They are our focus like members of the royal family."
The goal of care…”
When he said this, he couldn't help but pause and looked at Lorraine's face carefully. He found that Lorraine's face was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't help but feel strange. Until Lorraine realized something was wrong,
Turn your head and look this way.
Only then did he come to his senses, and then continued: "However, sir, since he has not been found until now, that means that he must have hidden himself or escaped."
Lorraine nodded immediately, and then said simply: "Very good, I understand."
After saying that, he put the document aside.
Half a day later, when he saw that the pile of official documents had been processed, he was so tired that he almost vomited blood.
Lord Lorraine stood up and stretched deeply.
As for the other two piles piled high next to the table, the old man pretended not to see them and said: "Oh, I didn't expect that the trees here are already green."
As he spoke, he held his arms with his arms, whistled as if nothing had happened, and walked out calmly.
Noila Mo couldn’t help but smile bitterly after reading it. These documents were all under his control.
Lord Lorraine felt relaxed when he saw that he had finished handling his official duties.
He came to the courtyard leisurely, looked at the branches with countless green buds sprouting, and was stunned for a while.
He just wanted to go back, find a more comfortable bed, and have a good rest.
At this moment, I heard a loud noise outside the door.
Lorraine couldn't help but frowned, and then stopped.
After a while, I saw a guard running over sweating profusely.
When he arrived in front of Lorraine, he stretched out his hand and saluted, and then said: "Sir, please go over and have a look. A group of common people arrested a person. They said that person was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they were clamoring to ask for a reward from you.
"
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated, and thought to himself: This crown prince is very popular. Why was he arrested by a group of common people? Could it be that what they arrested was a fake? He wanted to come to my place to fight against the autumn wind.
?
He wanted to drive those guys away, but then he thought, this was a big deal after all and he had to be cautious.
Lorraine immediately turned around and came to the hall.
This house was originally for the city guards, but now it is not. He also squatted in a small dark room. Lorraine saw that this house was close to the main road and had convenient transportation, but he took a fancy to it at a glance and set up his headquarters here.
Since the original city lord had always used that hall as an office hall, it was extremely spacious.
Lorraine didn't want to cause trouble, so she followed his example and met the common people in this hall.
After a few more minutes, I saw a group of farmers pushing a young man with his hair tied up and walking in.
After they saw Lorraine, they immediately knew that this was the famous Lord Lorraine, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Lorraine frowned when he heard their messy talk, but when he saw their clothes, he remembered the villagers of Lorraine Castle, and he didn't mind them very much. Then he asked carefully.
It turns out that this morning, everyone heard the commotion in the city and knew that there was a military disaster. Someone has already changed and is in charge of the world.
Just when they were frightened, the young man ran into their village alone. He didn't even say hello to them, but just grabbed something to eat. He also said that he was a noble.
Although these villagers are usually afraid of the government, they are extremely afraid.
But everyone used their sharp eyes to discover: Although the guy was gorgeously dressed, he didn’t have any bodyguards around him. Moreover, he was gray-haired, and he didn’t look like the old man he usually saw sitting in an imported Maple Leaf Danlin BMW 7 series luxury carriage~!
In addition, there is not even a beautiful, delicate, big-assed female secretary who can pinch water with her hand, which is the standard equipment of a noble lord~!
Everyone then used their own minds to analyze it a little and used the rigorous syllogistic logic principles to immediately deduce that this guy must be a fake.
These villagers all make a living by farming and relying on the weather. They don’t know how to flatter people, and they can live their lives without flattery. They are born with a bloody spirit. They will never be soft on guys like liars and robbers.
.
Especially when they still have strength and have the absolute upper hand.
At that moment, everyone took sticks and hoes and started a fierce struggle with the robber.
Although the young man's martial arts skills were not weak, he had been hungry all night and had been running for a long time. He was already tired and exhausted, even though he had defeated several brave villagers.
But everyone relied on the strength of their numbers, and finally successfully knocked him to the ground. Then, under the auspices of the respected old village chief, everyone followed the international practice of dealing with chicken thieves and robbers in the countryside. By the way.
The guy was beaten so hard that he screamed.
Later, the guy couldn't stand it anymore under everyone's sticks. He immediately shouted that he was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He asked everyone to stop beating him. As long as he was tied up and sent to the city, there would be a large reward.
Available.
When everyone heard about the gold, they were very tempted. Then they boldly tied up the man and sent him to the city to see if he could really get the reward. If it was not much, even a 20% discount would be given.
Something like that, even a random reward of a small amount of money will do.
They felt that it was extremely embarrassing to ask others for money. After talking about it, they felt more and more embarrassed and even felt uneasy.
Lorraine encouraged them a few words, and finally listened to their stammering introduction.
He couldn't help but look at Noila Mo who came after hearing the news and smiled bitterly. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Almohad was really caught in such a ridiculous way, it would really be a black humor.
.
Lorraine thought for a moment, then walked over and came to the young man. He lowered his head and took a closer look. He was surprised to find that although the young man looked sluggish, his face was full of energy.
Similar to Gondolas.
The young man raised his eyes to look at Lorraine, but looked away in panic.
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then she told the villagers categorically that this person was a fake.
Everyone immediately lamented.
Lorraine then comforted everyone and told everyone that although it was not true, this kind of bravery and courage to fight against evil forces and bad guys was a worthy reward, and then spent some small money,
He sent away the villagers who had thanked him so much.
Noila Mo watched from the side and couldn't help but admire him. This lord was indeed very powerful. He only spent a little money to get this important result into his own hands.
Once it is verified later that that person is really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and rewards will be given based on merit, wouldn't Lord Lorraine have made another great contribution?
Lorraine dismissed the rest of the crowd, and then asked the young man a few questions. After listening to his fluent answers, he finally confirmed that this was His Highness Takade, the Crown Prince of Almohad.
Noila Mo was extremely curious and couldn’t help but asked: “Then why did you reveal your identity?”
Takade immediately replied: "If it falls into your hands, I still have a way to survive, but if it falls into the hands of those ordinary people, they will really beat people to death."
He paused, then reluctantly stood up, and said: "Now that you have caught me, no matter whether the she-wolf of the Neossos family kills or exiles me in the future, as a civilized
People, at least you should give me treatment commensurate with my status now. Where is the food? I'm starving~!"
As he spoke, he ignored the straps on his body and sat down on the chair next to him.
Noila Mo looked at it, couldn’t help but frown, and looked at Lorraine inquiringly.
Lorraine immediately smiled and saw that the man still had the courage of a royal noble. He nodded approvingly and untied him with his own hands. Then he asked the guards to serve him some pastries and food.
His Highness the Prince was also rude at the moment, grabbed the food, and wolfed it down.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but shook his head repeatedly. The so-called fallen phoenix was like him. He was usually aloof and ignored the worldly affairs, and had others take care of it for him. When he really needed to do it himself, there was nothing he could do.
Apart from being a nobleman who is industrious and indifferent to grains, he knows nothing. He doesn't even have the most basic survival skills. If he is left outside, he will either be beaten to death or he will just live.
of starvation.
He thought for a moment, then pulled Noila Mo aside and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Noila Mo was suddenly startled, looked at him in surprise, and finally withdrew.
Lorraine smiled, then sat across from His Highness the Prince, patiently watching him eat.
At the same time, he secretly compared him with Gondres and found that His Highness the Prince was indeed much worse than Gondres.
After a while, the prince swept away all the cakes on the plate, then patted his belly, stood up, and said: "Okay, I'm full, where are you going to keep me?"
?Is he locked up with my father? By the way, if you want to poison me with poisonous wine later, you'd better choose good wine. If it's not Bordeaux from 813, I won't drink it~!"
Lorraine paused, and then saw Noila Mo turning back again, standing not far away and nodding towards him.
Lorraine then smiled and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you don't need to worry about this, because I will send you on your way right now."
Prince Takade's face suddenly changed.
His lips trembled for a few times, then he calmed down, nodded, and said: "Are you going to kill me? Okay, I understand. When you do it, please be smart."
As he said this, the nobleman of the first Almohad family, who was not ashamed of his status at all, straightened his clothes slightly, then stood on the spot, closed his eyes and waited for death.
Lorraine pretended to be shocked and whispered, "No, no, no. Your Highness, you misunderstood. I am not going to kill you. I am sending you to the south. I am sending you to General Hadou."
Prince Takade was immediately stunned, opened his eyes, and looked at Lorraine in disbelief.
Lorraine smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, please."
Prince Takade immediately stepped out and walked out.
He strode to the door, then stopped, turned to look at Lorraine, and said, "You really don't want to kill me? I'm really going to leave. Don't regret it."
Lorraine thought for a moment and said: "By the way, I almost forgot. Although I asked a few people to escort you away, you still have to put makeup on your face when you go out to avoid being discovered.
.
You must know that there are not only our Maple Army in the city, but also many of your Almohad's new troops. If they recognize you, you will have no choice but to run away."
Prince Tackard snorted coldly, then looked at Lorraine, and said word by word: "I know you, Count Lorraine. But what I want to tell you is that even if you let me go, if we turn around again
We met on the battlefield. Once I catch you, I will show no mercy. Don't regret it then."
Lorraine tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said: "I know, His Royal Highness. But as far as I know, with your ability, it is completely impossible to defeat him. If it were your brother Gondres
If the prince takes action, maybe this will be possible."
Prince Takade snorted angrily again.
Lorraine smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, you see, your brother is much smarter than you. When he saw something was wrong, he ran away alone and left you here waiting to be caught, didn't he?"
Prince Tucked couldn't help being furious, staring at Lorraine and saying: "You can't even try to instigate feelings between our brothers. I can see through this despicable trick at a glance."
Lorraine smiled and said nothing, but slowly her eyes turned cold, and finally said: "Your Highness, I am just reminding you. Please. Just don't forget it in the future. I let you go today."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture.
Prince Takade immediately felt ashamed and angry, stamped his feet, turned around and left in large strides.
Noila Mo looked at him, and then walked to Lorraine’s side silently.
Lorraine watched the prince's back disappear outside the door, and immediately let out a sigh of relief. Then he said: "Noila Mo, have you told those who guarded him everything I told you?"
Noila Mo said softly: "Yes, sir. I have already said it. When they escort, they will use the banner of our Maple Army. They must let the other party see it before they come back."
Lorraine nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done."
He paused for a moment, and then added: "Tell the brothers to have a good rest for a few days, and then we will return to Abdwad. This kind of place has been wiped clean by those corrupt officials. There is really no oil or water."
Noila Mo couldn't help but hesitated, and thought to himself: There is no money yet? Then the treasures that the corrupt officials worked so hard to collect, I don't know whose pocket it all ended up in?
For several years, the Almohad Empire lived in a dull and boring atmosphere.
The emperor and his favorites lived a happy life like happy princes in the deep palace.
Official positions in the empire are clearly priced, and no one can be deceived. This prevents people from tormenting the common people in order to carry out political performance projects and obtain excellent evaluations.
There is only one indicator for promotion. As long as you can spend that much money, you can get that official position. This is extremely efficient for the appointment and dismissal of the imperial bureaucracy~!
Among the private sector, there are more and more types of taxes and taxes are getting heavier.
At the same time, prices are skyrocketing, so civilians have to run around every day just to fill their stomachs. Of course, they don’t have the time to do any festivals and activities, and they won’t be able to talk about us forever after they are full.
Your Majesty the wise emperor and old Lord Despey.
I have to say that the famous saying about governing the country circulated in the Almohad court: Let you eat eighty cents full is actually for your own good. It still makes sense.
Sheriffs and judges also do things after receiving money. They won't even look at you if you can't pay them. Therefore, the law enforcement and judicial systems of the Almohad Empire are very efficient.
For several years, the detection rate of vicious cases in various parts of the Almohad Empire has been 100%. Although there has been a case where a bandit named Cao Shangfei or Yi Zhihua was beheaded fifty times, they must have committed the crime in a gang.
Who dares to say otherwise?
There has never been an unjust, false or wrong case in the court. The judges have solemnly promised the capital: We will never let a good person go, and we will never unjustly accuse a bad person~! Uh, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, tell the truth. Let's start again.
Ah~
We will never let go of any bad guy, and we are very principled in judging cases.
The people of the Almohad Empire have become accustomed to this kind of life. When they can still survive from starvation, they will not choose to risk their lives with those noble men.
Therefore, when the Almohad bureaucrats and aristocratic group shake their plump cheeks, show off their majestic bellies, and consume their own calories on their nth little wife, they will still sigh strangely.
: Those untouchables in the south actually don’t like those healthy eating methods that have been repeatedly demonstrated by experts. Those damn unscrupulous people are too greedy. They should be cut into pieces and then stepped on ten thousand feet to let them live forever.
Don’t turn around~!
The Almohad Empire is like a pool of stagnant water that is slowly growing smelly.
But the residents of Abdwad City found that the situation has been different recently.
They were driven out of their homes by the sheriff and the soldiers of the new army, and were ordered to clean the streets, repair buildings, and tidy up the capital as soon as possible. Moreover, these officials and soldiers were actually paid.
In a few days, the city of Abdwad was renovated, and now it seems that the city has the same vitality as it did more than ten years ago.
These Almohad civilians soon learned that their Queen was going to hold a very grand meeting.
Participating were all countries currently living in Almohad.
In the eyes of the common people, this is a huge victory for the Almohad Empire: we are now on the same side as those of the Maple Leaf Alliance.
Lorraine mocked this: When you can't defeat your enemy, of course you hope you will be with him.
Therefore, Lorraine did not take kindly to the Almohad bureaucrats and nobles who were delighted with this.
But for the civilians who were happy for this, Lorraine had no opinion. A peaceful and stable life was their only wish.
In this warm spring time, flowers are blooming in Abdelwad City, and colorful flags are fluttering.
Members of Almohad's new army also put on brand new uniforms and patrolled the city of Abdwaad.
In the large square in front of the palace, the Imperial Guards in gorgeous armor lined up in neat formation to guard the place.
The entire square in front of the palace was tightly surrounded.
Long curtain flags hang from the outer walls of the palace, and various patterns composed of flower baskets are placed around the square.
A podium has been set up at the back of the square, close to the imperial city, and the podium is gorgeously and elegantly decorated with flowers and ribbons.
In front of the podium are neatly arranged seats, surrounded by windproof cloth walls.
This place has been arranged into a conference venue.
The Alliance of Holy Nations, an intergovernmental organization jointly negotiated by the occupying governments, will hold its first conference here.
The establishment of the Holy League of Nations was very accidental. Initially, the governments of the Maple Leaf Danlin occupation forces wanted to set up a group composed of everyone to supervise the implementation of the agreements that had been signed, and more importantly, to supervise the Almohad
Imperial delivery of reparations.
The initial agreement was just for a small organization with twenty or thirty people.
After the Almohad Queen learned about these things, she asked Almohad to join this group, because doing so was actually no different from the original one, but in the eyes of the Almohad people, this
It would not be understood that they are supervised by this joint organization of various countries.
After the Almohads joined in, things became more complicated. At this time, the church also expressed its intention to join in, and the Knights Templar contributed a lot in the war. These people wanted to refuse, because everyone
Everyone knows that getting involved with the church will definitely not bring any advantages, but those old guys in the church are easy to fool, so they finally got in.
This organization is getting bigger and bigger in everyone's plans, and when the governments of various countries are coordinating the agreements they have reached, they also find that the other party is making their own small calculations under the table, so they expand this organization to the big guys.
It is inevitable that we can supervise each other on a daily basis.
This is how the organization called the Holy Nations Alliance was born.
It is currently composed of all countries participating in the war and two non-governmental organizations - Maple Leaf Danlin and the Church.
Now that everything in Almohad has been completed and the withdrawal of troops has been put on the agenda, the first general meeting of the Holy League of Nations has been convened as a matter of course.
Although the headquarters of the League of Nations is located in Maple Leaf Forest, this first conference will of course be held grandly. Empress Almohad even created a grander ceremony than holding a royal ceremony.
The streets on the edge of the square were already crowded with Almohad people watching, and the crowd was noisy and crowded.
The middle of the square is still empty, and the big guys attending the meeting have not yet arrived.
At this time, a band first walked out of the palace and lined up on one side of the venue. Then some members of the band raised their trombones and played loudly.
Hearing the band suddenly start playing, the crowd in the square quickly became quiet and stretched their necks to look towards the square.
I saw a group of knights escorting several carriages driving out of the palace gate and heading towards the venue.
The carriage quickly stopped next to the venue, the door opened, and the current leader of the Almohad Empire, Marquis Vichan, got out of the carriage, then turned around and walked to the carriage behind, reaching into the carriage to withdraw it.
Queen Almohad, who was in full dress, held the hand of Marquis de Vichan and stepped out of the carriage.
The Almohads on the side of the square let out loud cheers, and these civilians waved their hands and shouted "Long live, long live."
The Queen of Almohad walked a few steps, faced the civilians outside the square, and waved to them.
The crowd became even more excited and shouted: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen. Long live Her Majesty the Queen."
The sounds gradually became consistent, and finally turned into the same sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. It was like a slight earthquake had occurred in the square.
Lorraine had also moved back from Westin Butte a long time ago. At this time, she was riding with everyone in the car from the headquarters of the occupying forces to the venue. On the way, she heard this huge cheer.
After hearing the cheers, Catherine couldn't help but snorted and said: "Tsk, if you act like a good person at this time, do you dare to say that she is not responsible for Almohad's mess?"
Adele smiled and said: "Nicole, are you jealous after seeing a strong woman again? Don't worry about her, think about it, that queen is so old."
"Are you old? Some people don't think so." Catherine looked at the Grand Duke and said.
Grand Duke Julius said helplessly: "My dear daughter, you can't interfere with your father's freedom to pursue beauty."
Leo's eyes widened immediately and he said, "Are you talking about that queen? Oh my god, she is so old and she is actually Milena's cousin."
What Leo said was very satisfying to Catherine and Adele, and they couldn't help but nod.
Leo paused for a moment, and then continued: "But she is also a little better than Nicole."
Catherine immediately raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "What did you say?"
Leo glanced at Catherine, turned around and said, "Humph, she collects much less taxes than you."
Everyone in the car laughed when they heard this. Only Catherine had a dark face and praised Leo very much.
Lorraine and his party, a mighty procession composed of dozens of carriages, quickly turned into the square.
From the carriage, I could see Queen Almohad and Marquis de Vichan standing at the edge of the venue to greet them.
The band was playing the Almohad welcome song.
The seats in the square, where the Almohad nobles were seated, were now filled with people who had already arrived.
For such a formal and grand meeting, Lorraine and the others had to dress up to attend. In the past few days, several girls had been tossing Lorraine almost to the point of collapse for their own dresses.
They visited all the famous tailor shops in Abdwad City, and they did not miss any of them. The silk imported from Seris could not be bought with the same weight of gold, and these women bought it.
A dozen horses.
This is the place that spends the least money. In addition, the tortoise shells, pearls, crystals, and gemstones cost Lorraine old nose money, and Lorraine still can't understand why a pair of shoes is so expensive.
Lorraine finally understood that those women who had a lot of shoes or hats were dressing themselves up, which was a high-return investment.
Fortunately, Lorraine made a fortune in this war, so she could act as a fully qualified humanoid wallet like a wealthy man who accompanied his concubine to Paris for shopping.
Lorraine also secretly ordered a cassock-style robe for Hilmeria. The material was expensive, but it looked simple and elegant.
Although it cost the boss a lot of money, looking at these three beautiful girls in front of her, Lorraine felt that it was worth it.
Maple Leaf Danlin's motorcade stopped. General Wabador and Lester got off the carriage first, followed by Archduke Julius and Lorraine.
Behind Lorraine were the generals of the occupying forces and envoys from allied countries.
Queen Almohad greeted everyone at Maple Leaf Danlin in turn, and then everyone walked into the venue and took their seats.
At this time, the welcome song ended, and the trombone played loudly again. After three times, the square became quiet, and the crowd outside the square also calmed down a little.
The Queen of Almohad stepped onto the podium, facing the crowd like a black tide in front of her, and said loudly in a sweet and slightly magnetic voice: "Today, here we celebrate the establishment of the Holy National Alliance, which represents our entry into the world.
A new era..."
After Queen Almohad's opening speech, General Wabador, the current director-general of the League of Nations, took the stage.
Although the old guy said that he had seen a lot of the world, looking at the representatives from various countries below, he thought that he was now the leader of the new martial arts alliance, and excitedly read aloud the manuscript in his hand.
“The purposes of our Holy Alliance of Nations are: to maintain international peace and security; and to this end: to adopt effective collective measures to prevent and eliminate threats to peace and to suppress acts of aggression or other breaches of peace; and to use peaceful means and in accordance with justice and
Principles of international law to regulate or resolve international disputes or situations that may undermine peace..."
"In order to achieve the purposes set out in Article 1, the Organization and its Member States shall be guided by the following principles..."
Wabadore was excited when he spoke above, but Lorraine was bored below. No matter how high-sounding the words were, in fact everyone below knew that this institution was just a place for quarrels. Wabadore was
The leader of the martial arts alliance looks great and sounds awesome, but in fact he is just a big doormat.
When Lorraine herself was very young, she thought that the Secretary-General of the United Nations was the most powerful official in the world, and that everything from president to prime minister had to be under his control. As she got older, she realized that the old man who was on TV every day was actually not worthy of his leadership.
Used in China.
Those guys who usually like to jump up and down will certainly not give up on opportunities like this.
After Wabador finished his lengthy introduction to the purpose of the League of Nations, the people behind him came on stage one after another, wasting everyone's time with high-sounding words.
Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius were not interested in this scene. Duke Julius pretended to be serious out of image needs, but in fact his eyes had already gone to the queen.
Lorraine looked left and right in her seat and saw Hilmeria, wearing a robe that matched her, sitting with the people in the temple.
Seeing Lorraine's eyes, Hilmeria smiled brightly at Lorraine.
Lorraine stretched, looked at the spitting guy on the stage, and complained: "Why isn't it over yet? I'm already hungry."
Catherine patted Lorraine and said, "Sit tight, where are so many people watching?"
Adele hugged Lorraine's arm from one side and said, "What's the matter, Nicole? You're obviously bored."
Vera also shook her hair, turned her head and said dissatisfied: "That's right, I'm hungry. Being a politician is very troublesome."
