After leaving the tavern, Lorraine took Leo and Vera out of the slums. The dirty and messy place was really not suitable for shopping, and most of the people in the slums were unruly people. Lorraine had no intention of causing trouble, so he took them directly.
He turned around and walked out of the slum.
But it was still early and there was nothing much to do back. At Lorraine's suggestion, everyone ran to the port again and walked around to learn more about the life of Caribbean people. They also chatted with the old sailors.
, learn about the situation in other cities.
The ports in the Caribbean have gone through hundreds of years of construction and are very broad and strong. During the occupation of the Holy Light Continent, the vicious bald men of the Holy See vigorously funded pirates and harassed other places. Therefore, this is the port of Caribbean pirates.
A place to stay, all facilities should be complete.
The piers are made of stone, and the port can accommodate thousands of large ships. In terms of scale, it is one of the largest ports in the world.
But along the way, Lorraine and the others discovered that all businesses in the port were sluggish. The vast port was in sharp contrast to the small number of ships in the port.
All the usually busy business has stopped, and most of the people still plying around the port are small boats and fishing boats. Only the boats carrying tomatoes and the business are unusually hot.
Even the magical city of Arkadelin has ships loaded with tomatoes.
In front of the ship transporting tomatoes, a large group of people gathered, noisily buying and selling tomatoes. The merchants spoke their respective local dialects, bargained loudly, and talked about business. It was as lively as the New York Stock Exchange.
Same.
Now the price of tomatoes has completely deviated from the price curve and has become a real luxury product. The price keeps rising.
But after experiencing the craziest period of skyrocketing, the current price growth has begun to slow down, but it is the same as buying a house in the imperial capital. Even if it only increases by 3%, it is a big sum of money, because its base is really
Too high.
Every speculator is full of confidence and scatters the gold coins in his hand like gravel, expecting to get more gold coins in exchange.
Look at this, the economic bubble has been blowing bigger and bigger. It is not limited to one place, but has spread to the entire Semitic area. Because tomatoes have always been regarded as ornamental plants, there were not many in number.
, so it is possible to fry. However, the planting range of tomatoes is very wide, and can be seen basically across the entire continent, so there are conditions for spreading.
Lorraine did not expect that at first he just wanted to take the opportunity to hit their economy, but now it seems that this bubble is getting bigger and bigger. It is very likely to cause an economic crisis in the entire region.
Just one blow is enough to make them unable to breathe for three to five years, turning the tomato into a poisonous fruit that can poison people without even eating it.
They wandered around the port for a whole day, and then returned to the city guard's mansion.
In Leo's words, this place provides food, accommodation, and five-star service, and you don't have to pay for it. You don't want to live in a place like this? You have to go to a hotel with others, and I'm not mentally ill~!
But when everyone in Lorraine came to the mansion, they saw that the situation in the mansion was different from the past.
There were busy scenes everywhere. The butler was sweating profusely and giving instructions in the front yard, and the attendants and maids were shuttled back and forth carrying various luggage.
Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but wonder, what was going on after just a while?
At this moment, Fiona came forward with an anxious look. After seeing Lorraine and the others, she said, "You are finally back. If you don't come back, I will send someone to find you."
Leo immediately tilted his head and said: "Fina, what do you mean? We have only lived here for a few days. Although we live and eat for free, we have made a lot of money for you. Even if you are a novice,
If your appetite is a bit large, you can’t be considered a bad guest, right?
Are you impatient now and plan to secretly pack your bags and run away while we are away? So that you can get rid of us?
We are all good friends, so there is no need to be so cruel, right?"
Fiona was also extremely speechless towards this outspoken little gangster. Knowing that Leo's little mouth had no taboos and he dared to say anything, Fiona had naturally learned how to deal with Catherine and others without even realizing it.
His method was to raise his hand and knock him violently. Then he kicked him aside.
Leo immediately glared at her angrily, bared his teeth, and threatened her with all his teeth and claws.
But Fiona ignored it and just looked at Lorraine and said: "A message from the Akadelin Imperial City has come. All regional governors are going to attend Adelin's wedding, which represents the alliance between the two races. So we must go too.
I'm rushing to pack my things right now."
Lorraine was stunned and said: "Now? Isn't it still early? Doesn't that wedding have to wait until the winter celebration? Has it suddenly been advanced?"
Fiona sighed and said, "Don't you understand? You think that Adelin's marriage is just like a fruitful marriage. It only costs nine yuan for two people to get a certificate? Getting married is a very troublesome thing.
In particular, Adeling's wedding represents the reunification of the two clans, which is of vital political significance. It is a major event for the entire continent, and it is of course very troublesome to prepare for it.
It is already the end of summer. Let's go now and wait until early autumn to reach the imperial city.
Then, while the weather is cool, everyone will have a few grand social dances there to prepare for the wedding and discuss the process. All the officials will also attend the imperial meeting to discuss state affairs. Finally, representatives will be elected.
, send Adeling to get married.
And the other party is also going to hold a grand wedding ceremony. If this is done, it will be winter..."
After hearing this, Leo exclaimed and said, "I thought we were already bad enough. I didn't expect that your bureaucracy is really powerful when it comes to playing with it. It's just a wedding, and it can take more than half a year."
Fiona ignored him and sighed immediately, saying: "I just feel sorry for Adeline..."
Lorraine was shocked and asked: "Do you know each other?"
Fiona rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "Nonsense. We both came from the Dark Noble Academy. Although we are in different classes, we are also members of the Dark Pink Alliance. Our relationship is pretty good."
Leo scratched his head and said in surprise: "I didn't realize it, Fiona, with a skinny little body like yours, you have also been involved in the underworld? No wonder you are so fierce all day long."
Fiona had completely lost her strength towards him, and selfless Leo just continued: "We in the Pink Alliance are all good sisters who are like a family. We unite to fight against those unscrupulous boys."
Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Fiona was shocked, looked at him blankly, bit her lip, and said disappointedly: "Is this okay?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "Actually, I also want to go to Adkarin. I just have some things to do for the time being. I can set off as soon as I finish them. I won't be far behind you."
Fiona's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her eyes gently, and murmured: "It turns out...it turns out that you are also going to Adkarin. This is really great...uh, what a coincidence...
"
She paused, and then continued: "If you go back to Adkarin, you must find me... us..."
Lorraine smiled and said: "Of course. Food and accommodation are taken care of. The food is very good and the service is attentive. The most important thing is that you don't have to pay any money. How can we poor people not go?"
Fiona spat lightly and said: "Why are you pretending to be poor? Just this time, you didn't get a penny from the speculation, and you made a net profit of more than 30,000 gold coins. This is not enough for ordinary people."
It’s good enough to eat and drink and spend a lifetime’s money on it.”
Leo immediately stopped his feet and sighed, and said with a sigh: "You are an unlucky girl who has never seen the market. You will be satisfied with a mere thirty thousand gold coins. You are too small-minded and too small-minded. If you do what I want, go for formalization, grouping and internationalization."
Route, spread the business, we can make three million gold coins this time."
Fiona finally couldn't hold it any longer, then turned her head, glared at him fiercely, and said: "You little hooligan, do you want me to deal with you? You're like a big-headed fly, buzzing around me.
Yell, you haven’t said a single kind word to me for such a long time, believe it or not, I will kill you with one move, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.”
Later, I found that I had also learned Leo's bad habit of talking slanderous words. I couldn't help but want to laugh. But I gritted my teeth and forced myself to hold back.
The girlish style that seems angry and angry is as good as wine. Just one look at it is already intoxicating.
Leo looked at her raised palm, and then said angrily: "I'm afraid of you~!"
At that moment, he took a step back, then lowered his waist and sat on the horse, took a fighting stance, and shouted aggressively: "The first move of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, grasp the breast with the dragon's claw hand."
As he spoke, a pair of small claws kept threateningly pinching in mid-air, and he grinned and threatened his opponent.
Fiona was frustrated at the moment. She had finally found a trick. She couldn't explain the theory to Leo, so she had no choice but to deal with this shameless little hooligan.
This little ruffian is neither old nor young. Moreover, he has learned all kinds of combat skills since he was a child. He has learned a lot of dark tricks from the guards and SS, such as monkeys stealing peaches and other stunts. Leo
He is also slippery, just like an ordinary strong man, no one without three or five can defeat him.
He was so shameless, and she couldn't just follow him and play with Leo in public.
But Fiona has been with him for a long time and has long understood his temper, so there is nothing she can do about it.
She rolled her beautiful eyes, and then said: "Ha, by the way. The cook just said that he made a large basin of cream ice cream. I originally wanted to keep it for you, but now it seems..."
When she said this, she deliberately stopped and glanced at Leo.
"Ah?" Leo was shocked, hesitated, and asked, "Is it strawberry flavor?"
Fiona clapped her fingers in boredom and said, "Yes. I added a lot of fresh strawberries."
Leo added: "Put in authentic maple syrup?"
Fiona chuckled, nodded, and said: "Yes, the authentically imported high-quality maple syrup from the north is of excellent grade. It is sweet but not greasy, and has a long aftertaste that makes people want to eat it again."
When Leo heard this, his saliva almost flowed out. He hurriedly stopped the move and said: "Where is it? Where is it? Take it out quickly."
When Fiona saw him biting the hook, she sneered and said, "You dare to fight with me. Even if I feed the dog, I won't give it to you~! Humph..."
Leo was immediately startled, then rubbed his hands, smiled and said, "Who fought with you? I just haven't exercised for a day, so I just made some random gestures."
Fiona was unreasonable. She reached over and pinched his face maliciously twice, saying, "Really?"
Leo's two big eyes were full of tears and sparkling in pain, but in order to eat the ice cream, he endured the humiliation and did not dare to resist, saying: "Really, it really can't be true anymore. I don't believe you.
Ask the boss, it's more real than diamonds."
Seeing that Leo was so obedient and obedient, Fiona finally subdued Leo for a while, and then she let go of her hand with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I will believe you just once. In the ice cellar in the kitchen, you
Go ahead."
"I know." After hearing this, Leo agreed excitedly, then took Xiaobai and ran away. I wonder if the bank asked Leo, or if I knew if the kitchen asked Xiaobai, these two guys had already guarded the city.
The house has been turned around.
Vera thought for a moment, hesitated slightly, then waved her hand to Lorraine, and hurriedly followed.
Fiona watched Leo run away quickly, and she couldn't help sighing, and then murmured softly: "We will have a son like this later. He is white and fat. He is naughty and cute. He is more fun than a doll.
Too much."
Lorraine didn't hear clearly, and immediately said: "What did you say?"
Fiona paused for a moment, then realized her gaffe, her heart skipped a beat, and her pretty face turned red. She said in a panic: "Uh, no, no...it's nothing. Just...just saying, just
What on earth did this little ruffian eat? After running outside all day long, his skin is still so good. It’s soft, smooth, and as delicate as butter.”
Later, I finally finished what I said.
Fiona secretly breathed a sigh of relief and admired herself secretly: I am also very smart. If he heard those words, she would die.
When she raised her head, she saw Lorraine looking at her with a half-smile. Her heart skipped a beat and she said, "You... what do you think I'm doing...?"
Lorraine smiled, and then said: "Actually, you don't have to belittle yourself, your skin is also soft, smooth, and as delicate as butter."
Fiona paused for a moment, then understood. She couldn't help but spat lightly, then gave Lorraine a charming and watery look, and said, "You're just talking crazy things."
She paused for a moment, then looked at no one around, then boldly stood up on tiptoes, slightly closed her eyes, raised her pretty face, and moaned softly: "You dead man"
…”
Immediately, the dead man hugged her and kissed her delicate, bright red lips.
After a long, long time, Fiona finally woke up from the intoxication, and then she was so tired that her hair became tangled, and she lay in Lorraine's arms, panting, her plump breasts rising and falling lazily.
I don't want to move anymore.
At this time, it was already the beginning of the lantern lighting.
Leo's voice of dissatisfaction came from the distance, saying: "Fiona, let's start dinner soon. I told you two, Aunt Royce said you won't be allowed to eat ice cream if you don't eat. Isn't that right?
Are you wasting my precious time? Come out quickly, or I will scream~!"
He kept making ghost noises there, and Xiaobai kept helping him, howling and yelling, which made everyone feel disgusted.
Such a good atmosphere was completely ruined by Leo and Xiaobai. Fiona was so angry that veins were jumping on her forehead, and she even really suspected that she owed them money in her previous life.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Okay, don't be angry, let's go."
For some reason, Fiona's anger disappeared immediately. Then she took Lorraine's arm and walked toward the restaurant with a sweet smile.
As she walked, she whispered softly into Lorraine's ear: "If you go to find me, I will have something good to offer you..."
After talking about it, she herself felt a little shy, so she twitched her arm and ran away quickly.
"Boss~! We are the cooks called by Mr. Hagen. Open the door quickly and let us in. The sun is really going to kill us." Under the scorching sun, a thin middle-aged man looked towards not far away.
shouted loudly from the city gate.
Next to him, there was a dark-faced young man. Although the man lowered his head slightly, he kept looking at the surrounding environment from the corner of his eyes.
This is a valley surrounded by green mountains. The walled city in the valley is built against the mountains and defends against danger. It takes advantage of the geographical advantages.
And this city gate is stuck at the mouth of the valley. No matter entering or exiting, everyone must pass through here. It is extremely dangerous, and it is a real terrain where one man is the gate and no one can open it.
On the top of the city, there were all guards in armor, each holding a sword and a halberd, with serious faces, watching all directions vigilantly.
At this time, the scorching sun was shining brightly on the bright clothes and armor, and the light shone so brightly that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
Beside the road, there is a huge sign that reads: This is a military powerhouse, anyone who enters will die~!
And in order to prevent the Semitic people with low literacy levels from being unable to read the words on it, they also brushed aside the previous bureaucratic habits and thoughtfully added a picture next to it. It showed an ordinary commoner lying on the city wall.
After that, he looked like a hedgehog with long arrows stuck all over his body, looking murderous.
After a while, behind the wooden door, someone looked carefully this way through the crack in the door.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly smiled and said: "Boss, boss, thank you for your hard work. Come and open the door."
The young man listened to his voice and turned to look at him, feeling secretly amused.
The guard behind the door snorted coldly and scolded: "Why are you laughing?"
The young man was startled, turned around, and gave him a cold look.
The guard immediately felt a chill in his heart and took half a step back involuntarily. Then he came to his senses. When he looked at the young man again, he saw an honest and honest look on his face. There was nothing intimidating about him. At that moment, he still
I thought it was my own illusion.
He looked at the middle-aged man carefully, and finally said: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turns out to be you. Kudos, why did you bring a young man over? Where is Katora?"
Kudos sighed and said: "Oh... forget it, Kadora was unlucky. We went back to the city to visit relatives, but on the way, he was hit by a car. His leg was crushed with a click."
The guard laughed loudly and said, "What a poor guy. Hahaha..."
After he smiled, he pointed at the dark-faced young man and said, "What about him?"
Kudos said: "He is Katora's nephew. He also learned good cooking skills. Considering that Katora couldn't come, I called him here. If there is one person missing, I will really be busy.
Coming."
The guard muttered dissatisfiedly and said: "Kudos, if it turns out that you two, I will not hesitate and let you go immediately. But you bring a stranger. This is not a good thing."
Done..."
Kudos said hurriedly: "Boss, listen to me. He knows the most popular tomato scrambled eggs in the city. Nowadays, every noble family likes to eat this. Lord Hagen has wanted to eat it for a long time.
We were sent there specifically to learn that craft."
The guard immediately froze. For the sake of a cook, Lord Hagen would be furious if he turned around and would definitely kick himself into a death squad.
He cursed a few times and said, "Okay, I'm afraid of you."
Finally, he reluctantly opened the small door next to the city gate.
Kudos hurriedly stepped in, then nodded and bowed with a smile, and said, "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss..."
The guard snorted and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. The rules are the rules. Let that boy come over and let me search it carefully. Only then can I let you in if there is no suspicion."
If there is a problem, then Kudos, I'm sorry. The dark mage sitting in charge is short of experimental materials~!"
Kudos immediately shrank his neck in fright, and then laughed dryly twice.
The guard walked up to the young man and said, "What's your name?"
The young man grinned and said, "My name is Ren. I am Kadora's nephew. He said there is a lot of money here and he couldn't bear to lose his job, so he asked me to replace him."
This person is none other than Lorraine.
In order to conceal his identity, he specially had his body painted with a kind of vine sap that should not be washed off. Now he looks completely dark. Even an acquaintance would not recognize him if he saw it.
The guard searched Lorraine carefully, and then questioned him a few more times. Finally, he looked at the luggage next to him, kicked it and said, "What's in here?"
Kudos said hurriedly: "Here are the ingredients for Master Hegen's cooking, including eggs, poisonous wolf berries, and other things."
The guard laughed loudly and said: "Kudos, you are a coward. You have always regarded shark fin as a fan. And you still call it a poisonous wolfberry? You should have changed your name a long time ago. Now it is called a tomato. Don't be like that Luojie."
. He held up tomatoes as poison and was afraid to eat them. He was so scared that he peed his pants."
After hearing this, Kudos could only laugh twice.
The guard was in a good mood at the moment, and without saying much, he waved his hand and said: "Come in. By the way, the new guy. You have just arrived, so I have to explain something. Money is easy to make here, but life is also cheap.
.Don’t run around for nothing. If you see something you shouldn’t see, you will be killed without mercy. At that time, even the great demon gods will not be able to save you. Do you remember?"
Lorraine was shocked and hurriedly whispered: "Remember it, remember it. I'm here to make money, not trouble. When I come, my uncle has already told me."
The guard snorted again, then turned and left.
Lorraine looked at the busy and strict camp in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. Work would officially start soon.
