"Viscount Bahrain, you are still so thin now. Are you still eating pickled soybeans and rice all day long? Even after making so much money, you don't want to eat better. Keep your body fat properly. You must know that your body is your job.
If you don’t take good care of your health, how can you work well in the future?”
"My lord is laughing."
"Lord Jose, how are you doing these days? Do you still stay in a small hotel? Every time your son comes, he always stays in the most luxurious five-star hotel in Nai'an~!"
"Hahaha, hahaha... Who told him to have a rich father, but I don't have one~!"
"That makes sense. Cheers to a rich father."
"It's an honor, my Lord Governor. By the way, if that insignificant thing in my house can achieve one percent of your achievements, I will be satisfied."
"Hahaha, Baron Jobal, you have gained weight again..."
Amidst the soft and sweet music, Lorraine held a wine glass in her hand and with a reserved smile on her face, slowly shuttled back and forth among the crowd, greeting everyone warmly.
This is also one of his responsibilities as a host, to entertain these guests.
All the guests were a little excited when they saw Lord Luo being so approachable.
This is the governor of the empire. A big man with a lot of power and many things to deal with every day, but he is chatting with me so warmly at this time. Where can I find such a governor who is friendly to the government and cares for the people?
And we have established a good relationship with him, so we can get as much grassland land as we want, right?
Therefore, everyone also flattered the lord and drank Naian's special ecstasy soup.
Lorraine, on the other hand, never refuses anyone. No matter who comes up to flatter her, she greets them with a smile, or clinks her wine glass and murmurs a little, which makes the other person feel flattered.
Today, Lorraine knows that she no longer needs to use airs and pomp to prove herself, and there is no need to deliberately put on a profile as a governor to show her superior status.
These guests who came in with invitations, no matter who walked in front of Lorraine, would bow their heads and bend down in fear, and talk to Lorraine in the most humble tone, flattering Lorraine and fawning over Lorraine.
Because Lorraine standing in front of them was no longer just a governor, the battle on the prairie had already established Lorraine's future status in the Ruman Empire.
This battle was huge, with 300,000 imperial soldiers and civilians marching thousands of miles deep into the grasslands, and nearly a million warriors fighting and fighting on the grasslands. However, the Naian people did not waste their people and money, nor did they lay down corpses and suffer heavy casualties.
On the contrary, after the battle was won, the Naian people found that they made more money and lived a better life.
With this miraculous battle as his achievement, Lorraine has become a big shot that the bumpkin nobles in Naian need to straighten their necks and look up to.
Everyone knows that the young governor in front of him, who has a somewhat unbeatable smile, will be one of the most powerful people in the Ruman Empire in the future. His reputation will surely resound throughout the continent, and his words and deeds will determine the fate of tens of millions of people.
life or life.
Lorraine also knows that no one can take away the achievements of the grassland war. The more friendly he is to the people now, the more these people will respect him, so Lorraine smiles brighter and brighter, and even starts joking with some old guys.
A harmless little joke.
On the other side, those officers who had retired from the Eastern Province, as well as the landowners and nobles, had identified the main target for the attack.
These bastards have been fighting for many years, and they are all well versed in the art of war. Knowing that Sir Elo's personality of scratching his skin, cramping, and boiling a pot of bone soup is impossible for them to take advantage of, so they are all going to attack now.
The direction turned towards Archduke Julius.
They knew that this boss had no knowledge of anything other than fighting. Even the handling of government affairs was left to Catherine. Therefore, everyone rushed forward, trying to establish friendship with the Grand Duke while trying to figure out how to do it.
He's got some more stuff out there.
It's a pity that before the arrival of the Archduke, Catherine had already given him a serious warning - "Talk less, eat more vegetables, and drink less wine~!" Otherwise, if he informs Leo later, one cannonball will do the trick.
One more gold coin~!
A cannon shell increased by one gold coin, which didn't seem like much, but no matter what, it couldn't sustain a large amount of consumption. After the Grand Duke made a rough calculation, the pain immediately felt like pulling out a tooth, but he barely screamed.
What's more, in order to take revenge on his unreasonable father, Leo, the little scoundrel, held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, looking at him eagerly, always ready to make snitches on him.
Therefore, the Grand Duke obediently listened to his daughter's words. No matter how much everyone tried to persuade him, he would just laugh and chat about the weather. If he was really pressed, he would change his tone and talk about his contribution to the attack on Samarkand.
Cheng’s thoughts and feelings were covered up with nonsense.
On the side of Cardinal Obachm, it was even more lively.
Among those who bought land, many were bishop-level clergy. Although they were not religious, they all got to their current position because they had made a lot of money. They bought it in their own name.
Lots of fields.
Lorraine turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. As long as you give money, the Lord doesn't care where the money comes from.
He even formulated the rules and regulations of Eagle Bank in detail according to the standards of Swiss banks. It was also the most notorious 1934 version of the "Bank Secrecy Act" - Note; the reason why Switzerland became the world's three major financial centers at that time
, it is also related to the confidentiality law.
This means that even if you specialize in money laundering, Lord Luo will not care about it, and will keep it under strict custody and provide attentive service for you.
There was once a story that completely proved this point.
Back then, in a small country deep in the war-torn Sahara, the local military leader led his soldiers and stormed into the local office of the Flying Eagle Company brandishing sabers.
The dictator asked the manager of the Flying Eagle Company to hand over the deposit of 200,000 gold coins placed in the bank by a local official, claiming that it belonged to the local people and was the official's corruption gains.
Faced with the shining saber and the threat of being quartered, the manager was upright and just answered coldly with the word "no".
Then, the dictatorial general drove all the soldiers out, closed the door, sat down, and said to the manager: "Let's talk about the next question. I want to deposit two million gold coins in your bank..."
You just want to go~!
If such a bank is not developed, what kind of bank can become developed?
Under that situation, all kinds of black money, gray money, private money that you don't want your wife to see... all came together, and the expansion rate of Flying Eagle Bank was extremely alarming.
And those priests are one of Lord Luo's main customers. All the money they collect is shady. If it is kept at home, if it is exposed, it will only be invited to drink coffee by the Inquisition.
Inside the bank, with only a thin piece of paper left around, no one could have guessed that everyone was already a wealthy man.
What's more, buying land in a private name is an unwritten rule within the Holy See. Even under the name of Cardinal Hilmeria, there are large tracts of land.
Although according to the doctrine, priests are servants of God the Father and devote their whole lives to the supreme Father God. Priests do not need to have personal property, but in fact no one regards this thousand-year-old rule as a thing.
The thing is, even the priest who made this commandment may have just said it casually and casually added such a clause after not molesting women.
Although the priests eat from the church, live in the church, and play with the church (this is really just for fun, don’t get it wrong)
But priests also have a large family to support, right? Otherwise, you would think that priests all jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. Priests also have relatives such as parents and brothers.
What's more, good priests also have lovers and illegitimate children, and they have more than one.
Why don't you fight for your life and buy some property, and then let your parents, wife, son, and daughter drink from the northwest wind after you die that day?
Naturally, everyone is competing to buy land, the most valuable real estate. Even if it is officially recorded in the name of a priest, no one takes it seriously.
Everyone has the opportunity to sit in the same boat as the Bishop and engage in corruption together. If nothing else, this friendship alone is enough to make everyone proud.
And now the Cardinal Archbishop Obachum is also here. He is the next moderator of the Pontifical Council. With such a person in the cloud here, how can everyone not be enthusiastic about fawning over him. As long as he is allowed to stay
With a good impression, won't promotions and wealth come rolling in in the future?
However, there were not many people around the equally powerful Mage Lester, and he looked extremely deserted.
But it's no wonder.
Although magicians are powerful, their reputation has never been very good. They give people the impression that they squat in the corner, draw crosses in circles and curse others. They are all characters with dark psychology.
And this man is a fighter among magicians. A great mage, and he is also a great mage of forbidden curses. What's more, it is said that his temper is quite bad.
When an Almohad soldier accidentally peed behind a tree outside their backyard, the man became furious and then launched a forbidden spell, killing all 70,000 Almohad Empire elites.
Frozen to death in the red maple forest.
This shows how vicious this old guy is.
If I say something wrong, there is no guarantee that this old guy will not be like those evil wizards in fairy tales, turning himself into a mouse, bat or something, and then throwing it into a pot to stew a fragrant pot.
Potato and Pumpkin Soup.
Therefore, everyone is hiding as far away as possible.
But this old guy has long been used to it. Although only Luo Linna is talking to him, he still looks excited and is discussing in a low voice with Luo Linna where the most suitable place to build his magic tower is.
.
According to his old man's opinion, it is best to build this in the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion. In this way, he can not only study magic, but also conveniently supervise himself nearby, keeping an eye on Adele and saving her from being raped by a certain delinquent young man.
Seduced.
Adele, on the other hand, kept acting coquettishly and interrupting her, trying not to let this overly concerned old guy make excuses and come over to ruin her good deeds.
Baron Rocund had attended many such social banquets and was extremely disinterested. He came here just for vacation and recreation, and there was no point in asking for trouble by running over again at this time.
Therefore, the couple hid in a small garden far away, sipping real 400-year-old Italian red wine under the moonlight, and living a comfortable world for two.
During the banquet, people were laughing and chatting happily with each other.
Deipole stood in the darkness outside the window, looking at the well-dressed people inside through the glass, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
When can I stand under that light?
Although she also worked for the CIA, and she knew that those bastards were behind the scenes to arrange Lord Luo's mistress outside, but she never cared about it and just did what she was doing.
Work.
She lowered her head and looked at her plump and straight breasts, her undulating breasts, and her slender waist... She couldn't help biting her lips and cursing in her heart: If it was true, that would be fine. Even if it was just
Just once...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
Integrity, bravery, fearlessness, extraordinary resourcefulness, his reputation is known all over the world, and he is also very good at making money. He is also very impressive when he scrapes land. Such a young hero, and which young girl in the family does not dream of having such a lover?
Woolen cloth?
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Deipole was startled and shouted in a low voice, "Who?"
At the same time, he turned around alertly.
This action of hers actually startled the person coming. The person hurriedly lifted the document in his hand and said, "Uh, sir, it's... it's me."
Deipole took a closer look and saw that the man turned out to be one of her detectives. She couldn't help but feel a little funny at the moment and said: "Why is it you? What's the matter?"
The man thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, sir. We found something happening in a residential house in the east of the city and would like to ask you to come over and take a look."
As he spoke, he handed over a simple picture.
Deipole took a look at it through the light and was shocked. She recognized that it was a unique symbol used for communication with demons.
She immediately put the picture together and said, "Very good, let's go."
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "But don't we need to report this matter to Director Luo?"
Deipole was moved in his heart, then shook his head and said with a smile: "This is just a small matter, and it has not been confirmed yet. Maybe it is just a matter of speculation. If we report it to him, but turn around and come up with nothing, we will lose face again."
There is no light."
The man paused and said respectfully: "Yes, sir."
Deipole nodded, then turned back, glanced at Lorraine in the hall, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
In the middle of the banquet, Leo was still standing next to the Grand Duke, pen and paper in hand, eyes wide open, staring at him closely, just waiting for him to record it immediately if he made any mistakes and report back later.
The Grand Duke also had a huge headache for his son, and before he came out, the little ruffian got Catherine's order and used chicken feathers as arrows. Therefore, the Grand Duke had no choice but to do anything.
He urged Leo several times in succession, but the little ruffian just held his butt and would never take a step back.
Just when the Grand Duke looked at the fine wine in the glass, his saliva was drooling, and he was planning to drink a few glasses at all costs, even if he was scolded by Catherine.
At this moment, I saw a little girl wearing a gorgeous dress running over. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and she had naturally wavy golden hair. Her cheeks were so pink that they could be broken by a blow.
It's Melina.
Holding a big doll in her hand, she squeezed through the crowd and came to Leo. She said breathlessly: "Leo, come with me to our place. I have important things."
After hearing this, the Grand Duke felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly said to Leo: "Yes, yes. Leo, go and play with Melina."
Leo looked up, then shook his head and said, "I won't go. You are all bald priests over there, and they are even more boring than the people here."
He paused for a moment, then shook the pen and paper in his hand and said, "Besides, I have more important things to do."
When the Grand Duke saw it, his teeth were filled with hatred and he cursed in his heart: Why is this little bastard so vindictive? I don't know who he is related to.
But after scolding him, he finally realized that he had included himself in the trap. He was a little bastard, so he had become an old bastard.
Seeing that Leo was disobedient, Milena frowned and said seriously: "I have something serious to do. Are you coming?"
Leo still shook his head and said: "What I am doing now is serious business..."
Milena was furious at that moment, her cheeks were red with anger, and her blue eyes were full of anger.
She glared at Leo fiercely, then raised her hand, grabbed the doll in her hand, and then pinched the doll's head. Then, she twisted her hands hard and twisted...
Immediately I heard a soft sound of 'plop'.
The head and body of the rag doll separated in an instant. The snow-white velvet inside suddenly flew up into the air.
Everyone present immediately seemed to be struck by chain lightning, and all of a sudden they all tightly shut their mouths.
The silence quickly spread.
The hall suddenly became silent.
At this time, the velvet fell from the air like snowflakes.
The splendid hall with golden walls, the men and women in fragrant clothes, and the flying edelweiss flowers all over the sky. In addition, the little girl showed the domineering aura of a king.
For a moment, everyone felt like they were out of place in time and space. They were all out of breath and did not dare to breathe. Some people even held their breath.
Even though the Grand Duke himself had been on the battlefield for a long time and was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down from his temples without even realizing it.
Milena glared at Leo angrily, her big clear and bright eyes emitting an unusually bright light that almost made people dare not look at them.
She put her hands on her hips and said word by word: "I'll say it again, are you coming?"
Leo was also frightened for a moment and was speechless, unable to say a word.
The Grand Duke next to him saw his son's useless appearance and couldn't help but hate the iron. Then he raised his foot and kicked him gently.
Leo finally came to his senses. He blinked, glanced down at the doll, and immediately shuddered.
He raised his head, looked at Melina's rosy cheeks puffed up with anger, hurriedly bent over slightly, and then squeezed out a flattering smile on her face, and said quickly: "Go ahead.
Wherever we go, let’s go wherever we go. It’s up to the mountain of knives and the sea of fire. If I frown, I’m not a good man.”
However, the young master had another thought at this time.
Just in case, he only said 'hero'. If Milena really asked him to do an impossible task, he could immediately grease his feet and run away. Because the young master knew that he was still just a human being.
My child is not a 'hero' at all~!
In this way, even if Melina is held accountable in the future, she will have plenty of reasons to shirk her explanation.
As he said that, he ran over.
Everyone looked at his servile appearance and couldn't help but look at each other in silence.
Melina raised her delicate chin like a melon seed and said, "Just follow me."
As he spoke, he turned around and dragged one leg of the dismembered doll with his right hand, dragging it on the ground like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, through the crowd.
Leo was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling the chill in his heart, but he did not dare to neglect, and said with a smile: "Don't leave in such a hurry, just wait for me..."
With that said, he hurriedly followed.
The Grand Duke watched Leo's little figure staggering behind Melina. He sighed softly and said, "Oh~! He is also a guy who is afraid of his wives..."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He said softly, "Hey", and then murmured: "Why should I say 'ye'?"
The nobles and landowners beside them all burst into tears with excitement: I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it~! It turns out that the young man is young, but he is also a guy who is afraid of his wife. It seems that this vast world,
I am not alone~!
We all live under the iron-fisted rule of those inhumane, cold and cruel women, with no hope at all. When we are unable to resist and can only lie down and enjoy all this, we suddenly realize that there are people with us.
It's the same fate.
Due to the bad nature of human beings, everyone did not sympathize with this, but cheered: So what if you are awesome? So what if you are the future emperor of the empire? Aren't you just like me, a henpecked person?
Guy?
Hahaha, we all have the same problem, so we are equal. We are all the eldest brother looking after the second brother, no one needs to look down on the other~!
Although Leo is smart and clever, he does not understand the sinister nature of these individuals at a young age, so he does not have the same secretive thoughts as those adults.
He followed the little girl in a hurry and said, "Milena, what on earth are you going to do? Can you tell me more clearly so that I can have a better idea?"
Melina stopped immediately, then rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, that's it. I think there's something wrong with Sister Melia's face, and I don't know if it was because of Grandpa Obachm's misfortune."
You know, Grandpa Obham has always disliked Lorraine and her sister being together..."
When Leo heard this, his eyes suddenly gleamed. He rubbed his hands and said, "You mean, let's play a prank on the old man with the white beard? Okay. Tell me, do you want me to hold up a prank?"
A torch, and then pretended to throw it over and burn all his beard?"
The young father-in-law has always been a coward. At first he was a little scared of the old magician who wore black clothes and could turn people into toads and then throw them into pots to make soup. However, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and acted like a
Like a little thief, he stole their kettle.
What's more, this old man who is not lethal, always looks smiling, harmless to humans and animals, and wears white clothes like an insurance salesman?
Obviously knowing that the young master always hates others wearing clean white clothes dangling in front of him,
Because at this time, Catherine would point to the other person as an example: Look at others, they are clean, but look at you, you are as dirty as a mud monkey.
Immediately afterwards, there was an angry voice from Tianyin: Go and wash up quickly, otherwise, you will not be allowed to eat at night~!
When the young master saw such a ignorant person, he would really be sorry if he didn't steal the last gold coin in his pocket and then draw a few little turtles on his spotless white clothes.
Milena immediately stamped her foot and said angrily: "Did you even listen to what I said?"
Leo was immediately stunned.
Melina said: "I mean, we just need to find a reason to go there and pull Sister Melia away from them."
Leo scratched the back of his head in shock and said, "Is it that simple?"
Melina said: "Of course it's that simple. If it's really complicated, why would I still look for you? Wouldn't it be better to just look for your sisters and the others?"
Leo thought for a moment and murmured: "You are right..."
Milena looked at his silly look, and for some reason, her mood suddenly became much better.
She laughed, then stretched out her hand to hold Leo's little paw, and said: "Okay, you will listen to me from now on. You will be right. Do you understand?"
Leo was startled for a moment, vaguely feeling that something was not right, but when she held his little hand, it was soft and soft, and it seemed to feel good. He didn't go into details at the moment, and just said "oh"
.
Lorraine happened to be watching, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: These girls are indeed more mature than boys. They deserve it. They have ruled the human world for tens of thousands of years, and even at such a young age, they already know how to treat boys.
Brainwash and make these poor little ruffians obey your rule without making a move.
At this time, Melina pulled Leo, and the two of them walked towards Hilmeria.
