Chapter 986: Wonderful World (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Noticing that the passers-by around him were looking this way, Marquis Mata glanced with disdain, turning a blind eye to their surprised or mocking looks, and even showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
“What Lorraine can do, I can do too~!
And in the future, I will do better than him~!" Marquis Mata looked up at the sky and thought to himself with determination.
He believed that just like his father on a trip, the next time he appeared in front of these people, they would look at him with admiration and bow before him.
Those arrogant beauties who usually hold their heads high and look arrogant will also scream and rush to the ground to form a human carpet, letting themselves step on their lithe bodies.
And next to it, the dignitaries who were originally aloof were kneeling on the ground respectfully, kissing every inch of land they walked on.
Safer looked at this high-spirited eldest son and couldn't help but secretly complain: This man has never endured any hardship or hit a wall. It is definitely not a good thing to be so ambitious.
How can I persuade this young master without leaving a trace and let him understand that most people in this world who say nice things to you in person are actually planning to harm you?
But facing this young master with strong self-esteem, he had to pay attention to the way he spoke.
You can't tell him directly: "You are a fool now, and you are still a big fool. Without your father, you are nothing~!"
I feel embarrassed when I stand with you. And it’s clear that my IQ, which is even higher than my average IQ, was quickly lowered by you.”
Not only would that hurt his self-esteem, but with the other person's arrogant personality, it would probably hurt his own neck, and it might even hurt his family.
Thinking of this, Safer sighed in his heart and thought to himself: What I have been given is a thankless job~!
Although he is now the teacher of this young master and holds a high position in the empire, he is quite envious of the nobles of the Ruman Empire at this time.
Because, in the Ruman Empire, there was a Senate to check and balance the imperial power, so the emperor's power did not extend as unlimited as in the Parthian Empire.
Facing the supreme imperial power, an ordinary nobleman still dared to challenge him.
"Even the poorest man dares to defy the king's authority in his hut. The wind can blow into the hut and the rain can blow into the hut, but the king cannot enter the house without an invitation.
〖Room〗中~!”
Although the purpose of those bastard nobles saying this is actually to "sell dog meat on sheep's heads" under the banner of "the property rights of the people are sacred and inviolable," to embezzle the property of the common people. To avoid the emperor and the official in front of them
It was noisy and noisy.
But it is undeniable that the personal property of those nobles is indeed guaranteed.
Unlike the Parthian Empire, everything, the people, the land, the grasslands, the mines, the air, the water, everything belongs to the general, uh, the supreme emperor who has just usurped the throne and accepted the abdication.
Even if he is an important minister or even his teacher, legally speaking, he is just one of his slaves. He can be killed with just one knife...
Although he was thinking darkly in his heart, he never dared to express it on the surface. Instead, he stood aside without making a sound.
Marquis Matta was feeling good at this time. Looking at the bustling streets and the clear sky, he felt that this was a new starting point for him to move towards glory.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to hear high-spirited and cheerful music coming from the clouds in the sky, encouraging him to move forward bravely.
At that moment, he took two steps forward ambitiously, but then he stopped again. The music suddenly got stuck and disappeared.
He thought for a while and said: "Teacher, there are still six or seven days until our people are in place. What should we do in the meantime?" Safer clasped his hands behind his back and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Since we have already
Now that you have obtained the status of a peacekeeping force, why not take advantage of these few days to take a good look around and take a closer look at the strength of the peacekeeping force.
This opportunity to observe Ruman's army at close range is once in a lifetime. The eldest son can take this opportunity to carefully study the army command and command style of Grand Duke Julius and Lorraine. Be aware of it." Marquis Matta felt that Safer's words were exactly what he said.
In his heart, he tapped his palms and said: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles~!"
What the teacher said is absolutely true. We are now members of the peacekeeping force. I believe those military restricted areas will no longer deny us entry." Then his expression changed, and he cursed bitterly: "Those dogs are looking at people.
How dare you threaten us, this lowly guy."
A while ago, a few of them were wandering around several military restricted areas designated outside the city, but they were often chased away as suspicious persons.
Especially near the telegraph room where messages could be sent thousands of miles away, I was almost arrested by a patrol team.
If you had paid faster at that time, you would probably be doing extremely glorious manual labor in a quarry now.
Looking at his gloomy face, Safer smiled slightly. He came out this time mainly because he hoped that the young master could open his eyes and know how wonderful the outside world is, but also how realistic and helpless it is.
At the same time, he was also a little curious about the telegram.
Although now, Parthia is also a member of the United Nations, and its status in the world is not lower than Rumandi. It belongs to the five gangsters, er, one of the five permanent members.
However, due to years of war between the two sides, the Ruman Empire still imposes a high-tech trade embargo on Parthia. It prohibits the export of all high-tech products.
So they have never been clear about it.
It was Zafer. When he saw the telegraph room, he always suspected that there was a magician-level person sitting there. Otherwise, the telegram would never have been transmitted so far and so fast.
But out of rationality, he did not believe that this would be true. After all, there were so many officers entering and leaving the telegraph room, and each of them had a lot of information to send.
Even a magician would be so tired that he would vomit blood.
Moreover, they work around the clock.
Not to mention, there are so many telegraph rooms.
Calculated in this way, the number of magicians alone is an astronomical figure.
Can they mass-produce magicians like potatoes?
Then why don't you guys give a shit?
Just gathering those magicians together, forming a pure magic powerful gold-grabbing group, and running to the demons, is enough to overthrow the high priest of the undead in a gorgeous way. And it's like scoring nine times in one night.
In addition, what surprised him even more was that the equipment of the Naian Orc soldiers were all pure steel armors, pure steel weapons, and even the wheels of the cargo carriage were all pure steel.
At that time, he was so embarrassed that his eyes almost popped out.
***, that’s pure steel~!
You know, among all the troops in the Parthian Empire, only the Royal Guards can equip such gorgeous and expensive equipment.
This steel has become as worthless as cabbage?
Thinking of this, he nodded seriously and said: "As far as I know, Grand Duke Julius prepared a lot of good things for Hadou this time."
Marquis Mata smiled knowingly and said, "Just in time to see what we can ask for from the peacekeeping troops."
Safer gave a long laugh and said: "That's right." Marquis Mata casually pulled a passerby and asked politely: "Hello, may I ask how we can get to the orcs' station."
Seeing that the handsome young man in front of him was so polite, unlike the soldiers rushing through the city, the man also smiled and said: "Go straight along this street, and it will be right next to the city gate. You can see it at a glance.
Saw it."
"Thank you," the Marquis of Mata said as he went to rub his wallet, but suddenly he was stunned. He smiled awkwardly at the passerby, frowned and reached out to dig around in his arms.
Seeing this, Safer quickly took out a gold coin and put it into the passerby's hand, saying, "Trouble." The passerby glanced at it, took the coin, said something, then turned and left.
At this time, Marquis Mata said suspiciously: "Strange, why is my wallet missing?"
"Did it fall somewhere?" Marquis Matta shook his head and said, "It was still there when I paid for it at the hotel." Safer asked nervously, "Is there anything important in it?
"No." Marquis of Mata shook his head and said, "Just some gold coins and a few gems."
Safer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. The eldest son must be careful not to reveal his identity."
Marquis Mata suddenly felt something in his heart. He knew why he saw the little fat man and the little boy at that time.
When you look at the back of the image, you will feel a sense of loss.
***, those two little bastards must have stolen my wallet~!
He slapped his big tui hard and said angrily: "I understand, it's that bastard~!"
"Bastard?" Safer asked in confusion.
Marquis Mata said bitterly: "It's Julius's son, that hateful little fat Leo. I said that when that bastard came over, I seemed to feel something was wrong.
This is the quality of Royal Ruman. How did Julius teach his son?" Safer was a little sluggish at the moment, and thought to himself: Prince, it is impossible to molest someone's wallet, right?
However, I turned around and thought about the rumors about Mr. Leo, the chairman of the Flying Eagle Group. This man and Lorraine were in trouble, and he was basically a younger Mr. Lorraine. He was known as "the little hooligan who plucked his feathers after a wild goose." Withdraw.
Feier was not sure either.
Marquis Mata turned around and said angrily: "I want to go back to his sister to reason with him."
Safer quickly grabbed Marquis Matta, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Forget it, you bastard, if the news spreads, it will make people laugh. It may also easily cause international disputes."
Marquis Matta thought about it. As soon as he entered the door, he let a child steal it. And there was no evidence. This was completely unreasonable.
In the end, he could only curl his lips helplessly and sigh.
At the same time, in the headquarters of the peacekeeping force, two sneaky figures, one large and one small, hid in the shadows of the flowers in the garden, raising their heads and glancing out warily from time to time.
"Xiao Bai, are you sure Milena, my sister and the others have left?" Leo asked in a lowered voice.
Xiaobai nodded vigorously.
Leo chuckled and said, "That's good. Huh, that guy has a sinister look and is not a good guy at first glance. Let's teach him a lesson."
As he spoke, he took out a beautiful leather wallet from his pocket. It was extremely well made. Even the buttons were engraved in silver, with a small diamond embedded in the middle and a hard gold edge.
Leo took the wallet, weighed it in his hands, and said, "It's still tight."
Xiaobai's big head came over and tapped his nose on the wallet, asking Leo to open it quickly.
Leo shook his wallet downwards, and a lot of bits and pieces fell out of it.
Leo and Xiaobai's eyes lit up at the same time.
"Ouch~!" Leo picked up a diamond the size of a pea from the ground and said, "Fat sheep, when did the salary of liaison officers get so high? Xiaobai, how about we also get two liaison officers?
"There are more than a dozen diamonds of this size on the ground.
Diamonds are hard currency in the East and can be exchanged for gold coins as long as they arrive in the city. For people traveling long distances, it is much more convenient than carrying dozens of kilograms of gold with them.
Therefore, nobles are accustomed to carrying a few diamonds in their wallets when traveling far away. On the one hand, they are a symbol of status, and on the other hand, they can respond to emergencies.
Some traveling businessmen will also sew a few gems secretly into their clothes.
But even with Chairman Leo's extensive knowledge, this is the first time he has encountered so many gems in his wallet at once.
Leo said: "The old rule is, the one who attacks gets 60%, and the one who covers gets 40%."
Xiaobai's nose was grinning, he was happily turning over things on the ground, and he was nodding his head stupidly.
Then the two people started to divide the piles.
Leo was counting and raking the money on the ground and suddenly said thoughtfully: "In a poor place like Parthia, how can a marquis be so rich? I think a prince can do just that."
"Huh?" Leo and Xiaobai suddenly thought of something, raised their heads and looked at each other, their eyes twinkling.
Leo rubbed his chubby little hands, chuckled twice, and said, "Maybe we will catch a big kid this time~!"
Xiaobai nodded slowly, let out a cry, and nodded his nose in the direction of the door - since it was a fat sheep, he had to kill it with a few knives~!
Leo swept the gold coins and gems on the ground into his hand, put the wallet that came along in his pocket, and said: "I thought of one, let's chase it~! Don't let this big fish get away.
.”
The two hooligans jumped up and stepped on the flowers carefully trimmed by the gardener, and ran outside.
Seeing these two figures, Catherine opened the window and shouted dissatisfied: "What are you two doing?"
Leo said without looking back: "It's hot, let's go to the street to escape the heat."
Catherine was startled when she heard this. She looked up at the blazing sun in the sky and thought to herself: When did the street become cooler than the house?
Only then did I realize something was wrong, and I immediately realized that this guy was a guy who had no profit and couldn’t afford to get up early. If he was so impatient, he must have gone out to cause trouble again~!
But looking at the distorted air outside, Catherine immediately lost the courage to follow him out. She closed the window and muttered: "Let him go."
Sunlight, especially such scorching sun, is the biggest enemy of girls.
There was a large bucket filled with ice cubes indoors, and there was a hint of cold air coming out.
Hilmelia walked slowly, feeding the baby. Vera was holding a glass of iced juice in her hand, her big blue eyes blinking, and she looked at what she was eating and yipped like a little pig.
Little baby.
Lorraine was holding a glass of wine that was just chilled, lying lazily on a chair with her feet on the table, closing her eyes, shaking her head and thinking about something.
Catherine frowned and said, "Leo ran out again. This little ruffian can't be honest for a while."
Lorraine chuckled and said, "Just leave him alone. He will cause more trouble for you if you keep him around. Why don't you let him go out and cause trouble to others?"
"That's right," Catherine nodded helplessly.
Leo couldn't take any time off. In the past few days, he was secretly swearing to Catherine and Adele to come up with a unique recipe that would shock the world and make people cry for the sake of his great beverage business.
But most of the time, he just mixed those things together randomly.
Thinking of the various pure natural cosmetics that had turned into mixed liquids, Catherine sighed heartbrokenly, then cheered up and said: "Lorraine, what are you going to do with those telegraph stations?"
"That's right." Hilmelia also said: "From what Xiao Sang said, the people at the Anxin Telegraph Station below have become accustomed to asking for money. This is very bad."
Lorraine took a sip of wine, and the cold liquid went down her throat, making her pores stand up. Then she said leisurely: "Of course I know. If I continue like this, I will have a group of uncles who monopolize state-owned enterprises. In addition to hugging
I have no ability to raise money prices. I am a one-man company here~!
If I don't take care of them, they are afraid. Sooner or later, these grandsons will do something to me that will delay the war. Telegrams are the most important in our future operations. We must not allow any risks. Once they arise, we must nip them in the bud.
.”
Catherine asked: "What are you going to do?"
Lorraine sneered and said: "Rectify it, rectify it hard~! The money these telegraph operators receive is military expenses, they are trying to gain leverage against us.
In the past, when horses were mounted in a hurry, there were few people who could send and receive telegraphs. Now, we have just trained a large number of qualified telegraph operators. Get out of here all those who pretend to be masters.
Then I doubled the salary of the telegraph operators and told them whoever was collecting the money would have the hand collecting the money and I would cut off his hand.
Let them see the power of a self-made business owner."
Catherine slapped the table and said, "That's it. Since you took my salary, you still dare to take our money. I really don't know how to write the word "death"."
Hilmelia thought for a moment and said, "Would you like me to find a few people from the Inquisition to supervise it?"
Lorraine and Catherine shook their heads together and said anxiously: "No~!"
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "I just want to scare them, not scare them to death."
Hilmelia curled her lips helplessly.
Catherine suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, Lorraine, do you think the Marquis you saw today is a bit weird?"!
