Chapter 170
Chapter 170
Originally, Anton breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that this dinner should be almost over.But he didn't expect that Kunz hadn't finished speaking yet.
"In addition... my title may be promoted." Although the speed of the scepter's face change was too fast, as a favored person, he was still in front of another favored person at that time, and he probably would not have said some words. It is false, Kunz will really promote the title.This question sounds like showing off, but don't say...
Does anyone know when the official document will arrive?What if it arrives in two days?In the place of Tuoxing, for ordinary people, going out for a walk may be a farewell. As for leaving the place of residence to go to another place, it may only happen once or twice in a lifetime. As for going to another territory thousands of miles away, it is even more like a dream. Impossible to imagine.But this distance, for a transcendent, can only be reached in the blink of an eye.
The official document must not only promote the title, but also transfer the Kirk Viscounty over.Viscount Nakerke would probably think that everything Kunz said to him today was bullshit, just to stabilize him, and Kunz still coveted his territory.
Viscount Kirk is not a very important person to Kunz, but among the local aborigines, except for the captain and the followers of the Light Keeper who are still in command, he and his knights are the most important people for Kunz. It is the only talent that Ci can come into contact with recently that can be used for his own use, especially most of them have good character.
What's more, there is the captain's order, if you can fight for it, Kunz hopes to fight for it as much as possible.But today is the last effort. After all, it is all experience. There are successes and failures.
Anton also thought of it, this Baron Monroe is definitely not just raising his title, he probably also has a territory.But where does the territory come from?Although Grand Duke Wenerta is poor, he is still a Grand Duke, which weakens his interests. Even if the other Grand Dukes have no friendship with him and look down on him, they will still help out of the common camp.Then it can only be Kirke on the other side of Monroe.
"Thank you...for giving me a place to stay." Anton stood up, and respectfully saluted Kunz as a warrior from the bottom to the top. After saluting, he did not sit back, but knelt down on one knee In front of Kunz, "I, Anton Kerke, son of Martin Kerke, descendant of falconer Fernand Kerke, hereby offer my allegiance."
Kunz really wanted to ask him, don't you think the previous conversation was a conspiracy, a scheming?But I feel like asking too much like showing off.Kunz decided to bring this question back to the captain, and now...
"I accept." He stretched out his hand, although it was a bit oily, but the savage border nobleman didn't care about this, Anton lowered his head and kissed Kunz's middle finger: "I am waiting for your orders at any time."
When Anton stood up, Kunz said: "It's still the problem of immigration, but it will be after the summer, when the road will be paved, and Monroe will have some supplies... But, please, you can do it in advance." Discuss with your knights and our Geji Geji."
"Of course! For glory! For Monroe!" Anton thumped his chest, just like the knights under the former baron in Kunz's memory, "Since I swear loyalty to you, there is one thing I can't Hidden from you."
"Say it." Kunz listened solemnly, after all, this was the first knight to swear allegiance to him.
"A few years ago, before the disaster, your father asked me for help many times, but I also rejected him many times. This is actually one of the reasons why I was afraid that you would kill me, but obviously, my despicable With a narrow mind, it is not enough to think about your generosity and greatness."
"Although my father died in a catastrophe, I don't think you have any responsibility for it. He didn't have the ability to fight against a catastrophe of that degree, and neither do you. Those who can protect you from the aftermath of that catastrophe The safety of your family and subjects, you are a qualified lord."
"Thank you very much." Anton finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm resigning."
"and many more!"
"?"
"Wait for someone to pack it, please treat me as stingy. Food should not be wasted."
"Of course, you are right. I did something wrong." Anton nodded sincerely. In fact, he was quite happy for Kunz's stinginess with food.
Anton left, and Kunz also took his share of packed food. When he went to find the captain, he couldn't help thinking about the former baron.He doesn't miss that person at all, it's just... At that time, he didn't just ask Viscount Kirke for help, right?The Duchy of Wenerta should be the main direction for help.
Don't look at how easy it is for players to clean up the cracks. Even if they really face the evil disaster, they will laugh and "spawn monsters!" and rush into the group of demons.But when they first came, the players were also very embarrassed. If it wasn't for Kunz, the murderer who wiped them out for the first time would be the wild wolf, not even the magic wolf.
At the beginning, he was so careful about letting them enter the crack, because Kunz was worried that they would all be wiped out in it. After all, the image of being weak, pitiful and helpless at the beginning was too stable.
There are too many advanced players, and the number of players is even more terrifying.In another place, the Baron plus the Baron would have six Transcendents, and the Viscount plus eleven Viscounts. How would they fight against locust-like demons?
The only one that is capable is the duchy next door.
"What are you thinking?" Kunz was still distracted when he had already walked to the captain's table.
"I was picked on when I went to Tarian City, maybe not just because that guy is your admirer."
"???" The captain asked with a question mark on his face, "My admirer?"
"The son of Grand Duke Huerta, the one who dueled with me."
"Oh." The captain lost the slightest interest, "I have a lot of admirers, a lot, and then I came to Monroe."
There are many people who worship him, but only this remote country place accepts him.
"No, I don't want him to worship you. I just think that he troubles me, probably because he also thinks that I regard them as enemies who killed my father and hate them? Then why don't you just kill me?"
"Because Muschel went with you." The captain shrugged, "That guy is more measured than he looks, he can accept that level of provocation, and he thinks you can handle it—you don't really win Is it? For a more serious attack, he will fight back. What's more, you are just a little baron. Who knows that you will develop into what you are now? At that time, it would cost more to target you, no necessary."
"Oh..." Kunz sat down, approached the captain, and said in a low voice amidst the screams of the "peeping" players, "Why do you think I will hate them? He doesn't have much affection, and he even always lets those brothers bully me."
He is an illegitimate child, and in Lan Xing he is the child of the mistress, and the child of the original spouse bullies the mistress' child, is that okay?From another perspective, the son of the rapist bullies the son of the victim?
Although this is the overall concept of the current world, the flower planters in ancient times also "denied the father and obeyed the mother" for slaves.But Kunz's three views made him completely disgusted with the former baron who occasionally treated him warmly and kindly, but he had some sympathy for the indifferent mother of the personal maid.
"It has nothing to do with your relationship with your parents. It's a matter of noble honor. I don't have much relationship with my father, but once he dies due to some conspiracy or injustice, I will sacrifice my life to avenge him."
"……Understood."
"The matter is resolved? Congratulations on getting your first knight, my little lord."
"Thank you, Captain." Kunz smiled, "Captain, we..."
"Follow me to a place." The captain quickly put the candy into the sugar jar.
"what?"
"They told me." The captain held Kunz by the hand, and pointed at some "peeping" players without looking back.
Several players smirked and waved to Kunz, they were still holding poker cards.
Kunz immediately knew where it was, the chess and card room.
Don't look at the official construction of the factory until next month, but in fact, since the iron ore keeps up, the iron-making furnaces have become bigger and bigger, and the wheels of industry have already started to run.
Why can furniture keep up with the needs of players?Because the board has been cut by machine, the wood workshop is almost a wood workshop, and behind it are the contract teams formed by the players themselves, such as assembly, finishing, painting and so on.Of course, these are mass products, and there are also high-quality customized ones, so the wood workshop boards are not used.
In addition, the player's DIY has finally taken shape. For example, the necessary bicycle for crossing has been manufactured by someone. It is all wood and only fixed with metal parts at the interface.But it’s just running on the road of Mengluofei. Once you leave the road, it will fall apart in a short time, and the load capacity is extremely low, so you can’t take people with you, so this thing has not become popular at all.
Some players built their own glass workshops, and put down their rhetoric to compete with the official glass factories. As a result, they had problems with materials and equipment, and there was no way to mass-produce flat glass. However, after they failed, they quickly transformed. Production of stained glass ornaments.A little swan the size of an egg sells for fifteen crystals, and just this one, I don’t know how much it sells every day.
As it should be, other fine gadgets followed.
Where there is paper, there are playing cards.There are glass, ceramics, checkers, go, backgammon, and chess.As for the various board games made of wood, as long as Blue Star has it, Monroe has it.Now players still want to make things that Blue Star doesn't have!Such as the real gwent card.
But the players have no knowledge of alchemy, and now they are looking for "hidden professional skill instructors" all over the world, wanting to learn alchemy knowledge.They don't know that the government is already doing it.The official's mind is very flexible. This kind of thing looks small and seems unscrupulous, but by making this kind of small thing, the researchers can flexibly use what they have learned-looking at the small thing, the knowledge contained can be discounted at all Do not hit.And once it's made, it's sure to sell well.
The captain wants to help, and there are similar board games on Tuo Xing's side. It is also a fashion for the nobles to make their own cards.But the researchers will politely decline, unless they really encounter something beyond the knowledge level, otherwise they will not open their mouths.
Digging away, in short, it is conceivable that it is inevitable that there will be a chess and card room in the territory.Kunz approved everything, gambling is strictly prohibited, and others are optional.I heard that some chess and card rooms have also created indoor escape, indoor puzzle solving and the like.
But the captain wasn't interested in that before, why is he interested now?
"Even if there are no characters on the cards, it's still very interesting for them to play cards. Nobles also need to relax. Entertaining guests there is much better than having a casual dinner." The captain paused, frowning slightly, "Go back today , there is something you need to start learning."
"???" It seems that this is a very embarrassing thing for the captain, "Okay."
The chess and card room is almost a street now.But in the end, renting a facade is a big deal in Monroe at present, so those who can afford it are either old players or big money kryptonites.Among them, the largest shop here is Ah Qing Qingqing's - with the official presence, Magic Crystal's business is still profitable, but the profit is getting less and less.Ah Qingqing is very smart. She understands that the previous month or so was the adjustment period given to them by the government. For such a large transaction, the government can allow small fish and shrimp to eat some leftovers, but absolutely cannot allow capital predators to intervene in it. She took that Part of the transaction cost was sold to the government.
At present, Ah Qing Qingqing has opened a handicraft store with a rental counter, a board game room, and the player's glass factory, and she also has her shares.
In the simplest game room, there are a few square tables set up on the bare floor, or playing cards or mahjong. Of course, this kind of room is also the cheapest.But it was lively enough. I heard that many middle-aged and elderly people who entered the game did not go outside to play mahjong, but played inside the game.
Of course, this kind of captain would not go in. Occasionally, when they saw a relatively good decoration style, the two of them would go around to have a look.
In the end, of course, I fell in love with the second floor of Aqing Qingqing's board game room. This place is actually similar to Blue Star's game room. The large swivel sofa and a low coffee table are an elegant seat, and there are art spaces between each seat. The flower wall is separated to determine that each other is an independent space.
The captain glanced at it, and knew that the sofa can actually be moved, and the flower wall can also be moved. With a little modification of the layout, it will be a large activity room that can accommodate hundreds of people.
"Shall I get you one at the castle?"
Kunz thought the captain was looking for Haozu, but he came to steal the teacher?
"It's not necessary. When no one comes, it needs more manpower to take care of it. I only have a dozen servants in total. Now I send out to entertain those people in Kirk, and the sanitation in some areas of the castle has been abandoned."
"That is your home, your ancestral home, and your face as a nobleman."
"……All right."
"Reject if you don't want to, you are the lord!" The captain said angrily.
Kunz smirked.
"As an aristocrat, you should be more happy to decorate your ancestral home in a luxurious way than to put yourself in gorgeous clothes." Unless it's a matter of principle, Kunz will not force him when he really doesn't want to , but in this matter, as a nobleman, he still couldn't help but say a few more words, but his tone changed, "But, to you, Monroe is your face, not yours. Castle, right?"
"No."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"I want to rebuild the castle and build the most beautiful big house." Kunz looked at the captain, which he promised the captain, "In two years, we will start building the big house."
At that time, all aspects of the official stuff should have been researched, and the power of the modern and magical worlds could be mixed to create a building that combines the best of both sides—as for whether this is using power for personal gain?Yes, it is using power for personal gain!
"..." This answer was too unexpected, and the captain's golden green eyes widened instantly, "You... If you want to rent the whole building, how many days in advance do you need?"
I have been accompanying the commentator all the time, but Ah Qing Qingqing, who has eaten a stomach full of dog food since just now, is obviously a very shrewd person, but now he is suddenly asked, and he doesn't respond [Huh?Don't you only rent the second floor? ]
"Don't you only rent the second floor?"
"Are you going to let a group of nobles, and even the family members, pass through the noisy people on the first floor to the second floor?"
Okay... there are so many problems with nobles.Uh, except for the captain, who has no problems!It's all delicious!
[anytime is fine! ] Aqing Qingqing actually realized the reason when she asked the exit. There were also people at Blue Star who went to high-end hotels to eat and took the entire hotel, uh... Although this was already a stalk of the domineering president more than ten years ago.But the nobles here are definitely higher-end than the domineering president.
Kunz continued to translate.
"Won't offend the customers?" At this time last year, what the captain wanted to do, he would never take into account a small shop owner. If he achieved his goal, there would be no problem, but now he asked one more question.It seems that he is actually trying to accept the ideas brought by Kunz and Gejigeji.
Kunz said that it is very difficult for a person to change.But... the captain changed for him.
[Won't. ] A Qingqing shakes her head [But when the time comes, there may be a little more waiters. ] She raised her hand to measure it by about one centimeter, but later she felt that it might be a little bigger, so it became five millimeters again.
"..." He also understood that Geji Geji had a problem of liking to watch operas.But then I thought about it again... the language barrier between the two sides, the appearance of Geji Geji, there are cute, ugly, funny, and well-behaved. Some people are disrespectful, very disrespectful. High-ranking nobles look glamorous, but in private, especially in entertainment venues, what they will do is unimaginable to normal people."
Ah Qingqing patted her chest to assure that nothing happened [It's all a game, everyone can accept it. ]
Watching TV, playing games, as long as they are adults, who hasn't watched or played on a large scale?All kinds of bloody violence, all kinds of foul language, there are restrictions in China, but there are more foreign ones who secretly play and watch.They will be moved, moved or angry by the various situations of the NPC, but if they are insulted or molested by the NPC, they are at most disgusted by the NPC and will not be overly aggressive.
[I can beep and mosaic. 】
Kunz raised his hand: "They can't hear or see."
Hearing this, Ah Qingqing was still a little disappointed [Baron Zhengtai, can't you accommodate me?Or grading?Those of us old people are not afraid. ]
"No."
As soon as I heard him say that, I knew it was completely useless.
"If the visitors go too far, you can beat them." That's no problem, but before leaving, the captain still said, "The people who come here will not be too high-ranking, you can entertain them, but you can't indulge them. "
[receive! ]
"What are you thinking?" The captain asked after leaving the game room, "I can almost see the water ripples in your blue eyes."
Just now, Kunz suddenly had a moved expression on his face. It really didn't match his current deep and deep face in the city.
"Captain...I love you so much."
"!" Kunz gave him too many surprises today, and the captain couldn't help blushing.
The players who were "peeping in the dark" suddenly screamed, this dog food is really delicious, sweet.
"Captain, you go home and wait for me, I'll... go back later." Then Kunz jumped into the sky, like a firework shot from the ground into the sky, and exploded into a big fireball in mid-air!
The flame is burning, the outer flame is golden, but the inner one is red. Kunz's red hair is no longer hair, but a dancing flame. There are red ancient runes on his face, and his body is inhuman. part becomes more obvious.
The casual clothes that Kunz wore today were not the burn-resistant golden leather armor, so of course it was burnt to nothing.
He felt a little calmer, looked around, and rushed towards the balcony door of the bedroom on the second floor as fast as he could!From his angle, he couldn't tell whether the door was open or closed, but sure enough, it was open, and as soon as he entered, the captain took a nightgown and put it on him.
The nightgown is made of some kind of flannelette, it doesn't feel prickly, and the fine fluff rubs against the body, but it is very comfortable.
"There's no need to build a big game room, but we still need to build a small one to receive distinguished guests." Before Kunz could thank him, the captain's first words were still business.
"Well, Captain, you can arrange it according to your preferences."
The captain raised his eyebrows: "In addition to the above-ground buildings, I also need a part of the dungeon. Don't worry, the dungeon is our private game room."
"What is built in the dungeon..." Before the question was finished, the captain had already said it was a "private game room", and Kunz's face was in danger of burning again.
The captain raised his hand and poked his face: "Are you familiar? My little sun."
"almost……"
"This is what you have to learn from today, you have to learn how to control your expression." The captain sighed, "Now your appearance is more suitable for a leader than in the past, but as long as someone who knows a little bit about words and expressions, after seeing you a few times Afterwards, you will understand your duplicity. Of course, I know you are a staunch lord, and you will not touch anything beyond your bottom line. But if every smart person can only pass through being hit It takes a bloody head to realize that hitting a wall is wrong, and even if the wall is standing still, it will be stained with disgusting blood."
The author has something to say: Kunz (two voices of ci): It’s really cool to have a captain in the family... (*/ω\*)!
