Chapter 953: Romance of Lorraine (6,000 words, ask for a monthly ticket)
The war fortress roared away in the sky.
Wherever he went, the people on the ground were all shouting and screaming.
This is the second time in history that a war fortress has appeared on the mainland. The last time was during the fierce Holy War of the Holy Spirit thousands of years ago.
Archduke Julius stood proudly in front of the gate of the war fortress against the fierce wind.
Under the strong wind, the clothes on his body were rustling, and the broad cloak was raised high. He showed a peerless master, with an unparalleled demeanor as lonely as snow.
He didn't know how long it took, but he discovered that the route of the war fortress had deviated from the earth-yellow Ruman Highway on the ground, and was heading directly towards Ruman City in a straight line.
He couldn't help but sigh softly. Since the route was somewhat remote, not so many people could happily witness His Majesty's tall and majestic figure.
But, having said that, this way, he no longer has to stand at the gate and drink the cold wind.
Thinking of this, he immediately moved his hands and feet, and couldn't help but grin. He had been standing too engrossed in the position just now, and his feet were a little numb.
The sour feeling was really uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to act too obviously, for fear of falling in the eyes of others. If others knew that the dignified Duke Julius actually posed for a piece of shit,
If your legs are numb, you will be really embarrassed to see others in the future.
He pretended to be calm and moved in step by step, but then he still saw the disdainful eyes of everyone.
Even Catherine looked down upon it and couldn't help but murmured something.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the fortress was not right, the Grand Duke immediately smiled dryly, then coughed slightly, and said with a guilty conscience: "Everyone, you must think that the reason why I asked the war fortress to fly over at such a low altitude is just for the sake of stinking."
Show off and satisfy the vanity deep in your heart...
Lorraine curled her lips next to her: Do you still think so? That’s for sure~!
The look of the stinky fart in the dumplings was exactly the same as when Leo took the toad mirror to the street for the first time. The only difference was that he didn't turn his nostrils up to the sky to catch the bird poop.
Adele, who was next to her, couldn't help but look at Catherine sympathetically. It was really hard to have such a father.
Catherine's face was already red with embarrassment. Normally, she would have pretended not to know him. But now there is nothing she can do. She can only hope that her father will say less.
No one asked, but you were the first to say it. Isn't this a guilty conscience, or what?
But her wish was still shattered.
At this time, I saw Archduke Julius’s face was serious and he said loudly: “Actually” it’s not like this~!
I do this for a reason.
The Millennium War is about to begin. I am doing this for the sake of the people and the country.
First of all, let the common people know that we also have a war fortress as a big killer" to build up their firm confidence.
Secondly, let them get used to the appearance of war fortresses, let them know that war fortresses are not scary, and avoid frightening them when the enemy's war fortresses appear in the future."
"Wow, daddy, that's amazing~!" Leo stood beside him and immediately admired him.
The Grand Duke immediately laughed and waved his hands in the manner of a great man. He was about to open his mouth and say a few more words.
At this moment, I heard Leo continue to say: "It's amazing to be able to come up with such a justified reason in just the blink of an eye~!"
The Grand Duke immediately fell upside down and almost fell to the ground.
The people next to me looked at it and wanted to but didn't dare to laugh. They could only frown. Everyone had their faces wrinkled and trembled intermittently.
Adele couldn't help it anymore and immediately threw herself into Lorraine's arms, then opened her mouth and bit him hard on the shoulder.
Lorraine was in so much pain that she couldn't help but gasp. For a moment, she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She grinned and was extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Catherine next to her reached out and grabbed Lorraine's other shoulder, and then her body softened and she was about to slide down to the ground.
Lorraine hurriedly reached out to hug her slender waist, and happened to touch the sensitive spot under Catherine's ribs.
Catherine felt an itch under her ribs, and she couldn't hold it in any longer, and immediately burst out laughing.
Her smile was like a fuse that set off the whole audience. At that moment, everyone couldn't hold back and staggered around laughing.
No matter how thick-skinned the Grand Duke was, he couldn't stand at this moment.
He immediately laughed, then turned around and ran downstairs quickly.
But Leo was quite confused. He looked at everyone and said, "Why are you laughing? You are a bunch of crazy people~!"

A few hours later, the huge black shadow of the war fortress had descended on Ruman City.
Lorraine has seen many cities from the air, such as Maple Leaf Danlin, Nedel, Constantine, etc. But the Ruman City in front of him is undoubtedly the most impressive.
As the first famous city in the mainland, Ruman City is undoubtedly the largest in scale, with black buildings stretching to the farthest point of sight.
The main roads in the city are criss-crossed and densely packed like a spider web.
Among them, the majestic, towering and resplendent building complex located in the deepest part of the city is the Royal Palace of Ruman City.
The heart of the entire empire.
Lorraine was so condescending that she could even clearly see the rose garden where she invited someone to drink wine for the first time. She couldn't help but feel a sense of pain and joy.
At first, Catherine and her group of sweet and sour women caused chaos in the rose garden.
Since then, the doors to all the cultural and entertainment industries in the empire have been tightly closed to themselves...
Just when Lorraine saw Ruman City, the people in the city also saw the war fortress hanging in the sky.
As usual, there was a huge sensation in an instant~!
The people in Huangchenggen have a natural sense of politics and gossip that is several times higher than those in other places.
Lord Lorraine and Young Master Leo experienced ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, subdued the demon witch, had a drink with the undead high priest to discuss heroes, warmed wine in the Great Demon Temple and killed the lich, and killed a seven-year-old in the Thunder and Flash Demon City.
The jokes about "entering seven and exiting, and later going through five levels and killing six generals, etc." have long been spread in the bustling taverns of Ruman City.
Every citizen of Ruman can talk about it for a long time.
The plots of these new jokes are ups and downs, thrilling and heroic.
There are strong male charms, lingering emotional entanglements, love killings, vendettas, loyalty, and betrayal.
There is a hero who bravely saves Lord Lorraine and uses his flesh and blood to block the curse of the High Priest of the Undead. There is also a peasant girl who sacrifices her life for him, and there is also a general's daughter who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
"Weeping ghosts and gods. The ileum is full of energy, which makes people unable to put it down after listening to it. It is extremely exciting.
Originally, among the stories compiled by the Imperial Propaganda Department, there should have been thrilling plots such as the young master outsmarting the serial array and bravely fighting eighteen witches, etc. However, it was a pity that Leo was too young, so in the end they could only
Most of it has been deleted, so the young master can only feel aggrieved and use it as a compliment for the time being.
Among these stories, considering the broad adult audience, some versions even include restricted descriptions of Lord Lorraine and the witch.
And it’s very well written.” You can tell at a glance that it was written by everyone.
This piece is much more exciting than what Lorraine has done in Demon Clan. It is basically suitable for all ages and is loved by the public.
After that, when Mr. Lorraine had nothing to do, he also picked up a hardcover collection of the unabridged "The Romance of the Count of Lorraine" and flipped through it, and then he sighed with emotion, "This art really has no end~!"
If I could do half as well as the grandson in the book, I would be satisfied in this life. Because those stories became very popular as soon as they were published. Therefore, some small theaters have already made plans to put some of the plots into movies.
took the stage and immediately caused a huge sensation.
Some people have even planned to adapt "Lorraine of Lorraine" into a grand epic musical.
"We have to hire the most popular actor at the time to star." He will invest a huge amount of money and tour the country, so he will definitely earn a lot of money.
But later, after hearing about the literary inquisition initiated by Princess Catherine, they all gave up this idea.
"I over-acted", which is to make a little more money. But it is easy to offend Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, to be exiled for three thousand miles, and to grow potatoes in the permafrost.
In short, after all-round and three-dimensional packaging and publicity, Ruman City, including His Majesty the Emperor, aristocratic officials at all levels in the middle, and the common people all knew that Lord Lorraine had returned with a war fortress.
Even length and width geometry, height and height, what characteristics, and how much firepower it brings, many military mi can explain it clearly on their fingers, and finally discuss the strategic role of war fortresses in future wars.
Wait wait wait.
Not only that, they actually knew that Lorraine had brought back four beauties from the Demon Clan. The Ruman people could tell them their surnames, names, and looks.
It really made Sir Luo sigh that the political sense of people in the imperial capital is sharper than that of a dog~!
The venture capital companies under Lorraine all believe that in Ruman City, the best source of intelligence is the taxi driver Ma Feng. Basically, what happened in the palace last night, the driver will know before nine o'clock the next morning.
After seeing the approaching war fortress, the people of Ruman City immediately judged that this was the war fortress that Lord Lorraine and Young Duke Leo had brought back.
Then these people were so excited that they poured out of the city to watch the war fortress regardless of the danger.
Looking at the dense crowd below, Archduke Julius also had a headache. Although Archduke Julius was happy to show off in front of the people of Ruman City, the Grand Duke knew that these Ruman City people often laughed at him for being a country bumpkin from the east.
Moreover, Archduke Julius had been standing at the door for a long time, but the enthusiastic crowd was so crowded that there was no place to land below.
Although they were desperately waving their hands to the people below to get out of the way, no one paid any attention to them.
Even though the war fortress is right on top of them, they are still grinning and having fun.
Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and thought to themselves: So enthusiastic! The people of Constantinople know more rules than the people of Ruman City.
Lester scratched his head helplessly. He pointed at the palace with his staff and said, "We might as well just drive into the city. I said Julian, why are you flying down outside the city?"
Lorraine and Julian said anxiously at the same time: "No~!"
Lester was startled by the solemn expressions of the two people, and he was stunned and said: "What's wrong?"
Grand Duke Julius shook his head, waved his hand feebly, and said: "Lorraine, please tell me."
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "Well," we will drive the war fortress into Ruman City today, and someone will impeach the Grand Duke in the afternoon."
Lester asked suspiciously: "Impeach Julian? Impeach for what?"
Lorraine pointed to the location of the weapons room of the war fortress and said: "This war fortress is a weapon after all. We can't bring weapons to the palace."
"Oh" Lester slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, then shook his head and said: "You politicians are troublesome, how can you have so many broken rules."
Lorraine spread his hands and said, "But we still have to abide by this rule."
Several mages with the signs of the Imperial Guard quickly approached from the air. When they saw Lorraine and Archduke Julius at the door, they smiled at everyone and jumped into the war fortress one after another.
The leading mage first nodded to Lester and said respectfully: "Master."
Then he saluted Archduke Julius and Lorraine.
This is the rule of mages, even the mages in the Imperial Guard are no exception." Maple Leaf Danlin and the headquarters of the Mages Association have appeal among mages. Although it is not as popular as Fantino's appeal to priests, it is not the same.
How bad it is.
Once something happens, the vast majority of mages will respond to the call of Maple Leaf Danlin and the Mages Association.
Lester waved his hand and said carelessly: "Let the people below get out of the way, we are going to land."
"Yes, Master." The mage of the Imperial Guard agreed, jumped out of the war fortress, and went to the ground to command everyone to get out of the way.
It took a full quarter of an hour for the war fortress to land firmly on the ground.
The onlookers rushed up with a roar, and the guards had to fight to drive them away.
Lorraine and Archduke Julius walked down the war fortress, and the onlookers recognized them at a glance.
"It's not that bad? You don't have enough money like me, so why do you pick up so many girls?"
"Tch, it's a pretty boy."
"Don't worry about your life, be careful that the eldest prince dominates you."
"hiss……"
The men lost their temper all of a sudden. Princess Catherine's reputation as a jealous person was not just talk. Therefore, they could only curse "little pretty face" in their hearts and stare at Lorraine with jealous eyes.
.
The young women screamed, "Lorraine, look here, look here!"
"Ah...! He really looked at us."
"I'm so happy, no, I'm going to faint."
Lorraine could only twitch her mouth when she looked at the woman outside who was three points better than Sister Feng.
A large group of Royal Guard knights galloped out of Ruman City, led by an old general with gray hair and beard.
They stood up and dismounted, and first saluted Archduke Julius and shouted: "See you, Your Highness.
Lorraine recognized him at first glance. The old general leading him was Count Salan, the commander of the Guards.
Count Sarang also nodded to Lorraine and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Lord Governor, Master Lester, your Majesty, please come to the city as soon as possible to see me."
Grand Duke Julius slapped Lorraine and said, "Then let's go."
Along the way, the Imperial Guards had secured the main road, leaving a highway leading directly to the imperial city.
Lorraine and the others entered the palace under the guidance of the imperial guards. The first thing they saw was a large group of people gathered in the front hall of the palace. The one in the middle was Emperor Rudelun.
Archduke Julius dismounted from his horse, walked quickly forward, and hugged Emperor Rudelun.
Lorraine smiled slightly. The two brothers stood together. Not to mention they looked alike. Rudrun was just a little shorter and a little fatter than Julian.
After not seeing each other for two years, Emperor Rudelun was almost the same as when Lorraine saw him for the first time. Emperor Rudelun was obviously very happy at this time. After greeting Julian, he waved to Lorraine and said: "Come here.
Boy."
Lorraine stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."
Rudrun patted Lorraine on the shoulder and said loudly to the people around him: "Everyone, this is my niece's son-in-law, the best governor of our young generation, Lorraine."
The surrounding ministers immediately began to flatter each other, implying that His Majesty is wise and discerning, and it was under His Majesty's guidance that Lord Lorraine had achieved brilliant results.
Rudrun was obviously very helpful. He pressed his hand downward and said, "Young man, you just need more guidance. Okay, okay, stop praising me."
"But?" Emperor Rudelun looked at Lorraine and said, "You kid, don't be so desperate in the future. You still have to leave the life-threatening things to the people below, just like fighting against the undead high priest. If something happens to you,
"Nicole still hates me for the rest of her life."
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to either, Your Majesty, it's not all forced."
Rudrun shook his head, then rubbed his hands and said eagerly: "Forget it, don't talk about this, go ahead and take me to see the war fortress."
Lorraine secretly muttered, why do these two brothers have such a short temper?
Then he looked at Lester and asked him, "Master?"
Lester smiled and said: "No problem, Your Majesty, I'll take care of it."
Seeing the creases on Lester's smiling face, Lorraine secretly thought to himself, isn't this old guy ignorant of politics? He is good at fawning over Rudrun.
The war fortress carried Emperor Rudrun, Prime Minister Russell and other ministers, and took a circle on the top of Ruman City. Everyone had enough fun, and then they landed in the palace under the command of Rudrun.
The people of Ruman City have high political consciousness." When they saw His Majesty the Emperor appearing in the war fortress, they shouted "Long live the Emperor" with all their strength, and the people around them flattered them, praising that only under His Majesty's rule could such a prosperous world be possible.
When Emperor Rudelun walked down the war fortress, his face was glowing with joy." He excitedly said to Julian: "Hold a banquet in the afternoon and call everyone here to celebrate."
Grand Duke Julius was startled for a moment and wanted to say something. Rudelun waved his hand and said, "Okay, Julius, we'll talk about it tonight if we have serious business."
In the afternoon, Emperor Rudelun held a large banquet in the palace. Everyone still caught Lorraine and drank heavily. Even Rudelun took Lorraine and had three drinks in a row.
But fortunately, everyone knows that Lord Lorraine is the son of Princess Catherine." Without the young ladies to eat Lorraine's tofu, Lorraine is very sorry. Although this is a burden, it is also a sweet burden.
Grand Duke Julius reminded Lorraine in advance that there was still business to do in the evening and he must not get too drunk. Lorraine pretended to be drunk and retreated in the middle of the night. Then, in the lounge of the palace, Mimi fell asleep.
By the time Grand Duke Julius slapped Lorraine awake, it was already dusk when the lanterns were on.
Lorraine shook her head, patted her cheeks with both hands to get rid of the dizzy feeling in her head, and said, "What time is it now?"
Grand Duke Julius looked at Lorraine and laughed at him: "It turns out that there are times when you can't do it.
Okay, it's time to have dinner.
Lorraine shook his head and said with lingering fear: "You haven't seen their posture. More than a dozen Dukes took turns to drink me, and there were dozens of people watching behind me. If I hadn't pretended to be drunk and fell down quickly, I wouldn't have been able to get up now.
.”
Grand Duke Julius laughed and said: "Who makes you the most jealous boy? Wash yourself up.
Daqi is waiting for us in Lucina."
Lorraine was stunned for a long time before she realized that the eldest brother mentioned by Grand Duke Julius was his brother Emperor Rudelun, but who was Lucy?
Lorraine and Archduke Julius boarded a carriage protected by knights in plain clothes and soon drove out of the palace.
Lorraine was a little confused, wondering which song the two brothers were singing?
I was full of doubts, but I didn't know how to ask. It obviously involves royal secrets.
Grand Duke Julius folded his hands and looked happily at Lorraine's troubled expression. Because Lorraine not only coaxed away his precious daughter, he was also very good at coaxing money, and he was also very sophisticated and tactful, which made Grand Duke Julius very happy.
I felt a sense of loss, as if I had grown old all of a sudden. In fact, Grand Duke Julius was only forty-four years old, which was the golden age when he was in the prime of life.
So whenever he saw Lorraine deflated, Grand Duke Julius would feel indescribable joy in his heart.
Seeing Lorraine's expression as if she was constipated, Archduke Julius laughed and said, "Okay, stop guessing. We are going to Mrs. Lou Crecchia. Lucy is a very easy-going person. There is no need to be restrained when we go to her."
.”
Lorraine nodded suddenly, thinking, I understand, it turns out to be the famous Mrs. Lu Keliqia.
Not many people know the name of Lady LU Krekia, but it is widely spread among the upper echelons of Ruman, but few people have ever seen her.
Such a lucratic lady is full of mi-like color.
Lorraine had heard Catherine and the others talk about Rudrun's number one lover in Naian.
Even with their critical eyes, Catherine and Adele both praised Lorraine when they talked about her. This lady is indeed good. If the emperor's lovers were all the type of Lady Lu Claire, the world would be a lot easier.
.
This lady was very favored by Emperor Rudelun, and it can even be said that if it were not for her origin, she would probably become Ruman's queen.
But she was just an ordinary woman from a civilian family. Before she met Rudrun, she was still a widow. All of this destined her to never come to the forefront.
From Catherine's introduction, Lorraine knew that although this lady was favored by thousands of people, she never relied on favors and was arrogant. She did not dictate state affairs, nor did she ask the emperor to install several relatives. She would not spend a lot of money to buy luxury goods.
He is not willing to live in the palace arranged by Rudrun.
Mrs. lu Claire's home is in an ordinary house in the inner city, and she rarely even leaves the house.
But Rudrun was always willing to consult Mrs. Lu Krekia's opinion when she encountered difficult things.
Mrs. lu Claire always gives her opinions from a fair standpoint and from the perspective of national interests. For a woman, this is very valuable.
In short, in Lorraine's impression, this is a gentle, virtuous, and sensible woman...!
