Transcendent Noble

As it approached noon, the attendants of the Randal Family finally packed up the treasures in the hall, and the relaxed Elina realized that she had not arranged today's lunch.

Everyone who sorts treasures is immersed in excitement. Even if they don't eat or sleep all day, they won't feel it. But facing the treasure, the lord's personal maid should not advance and retreat. This would appear to be the Randal Family family background is shallow... even though it is true.

Alina has received strict etiquette training in Rose Manor, and is fully capable of supporting the decentness of a small family, but after all, she is a young and beautiful woman, the first time she has seen so many shining Baby, forget the time happily, just like the wife of the country lord who has never seen the world.

Aiya, it's so embarrassing, so rude...Why didn't anyone remind me? Especially the stupid big fellow, usually a little hungry, his stomach screamed like thunder, but today there was no movement at all, and I was so annoyed... Alina was ashamed and annoyed, stared at Caligula fiercely, and stomped her feet. Angrily said: "Caligula, you don't have to eat lunch today!"

Caligula blinked, looked at the back of Madam Elina, and touched the back of her head, with an innocent look on her face. Asked Klaus: "Why did the madam say that I don't have to eat lunch?"

"Maybe...maybe...Aiya, I don't know." Klaus spread his hands and proposed. "Why don't you ask Brandon to ask Mrs.?"

"get lost! Why don't you ask?" Brandon glared at Klaus.

The two immediately started their daily bickering, while the others watched the excitement happily, only Caligula was sad alone.

He was really wronged. Since practicing the Grinch battle skill to the third realm, not to mention fasting bowel, even sleep snoring problems have disappeared. According to Tornance's martial skill theory, Caligula has been able to initially control the internal dive, only one step away from the simulated frenzy and bloodthirsty innate talent. He is now able to maintain vigorous body functions without eating for ten days half a month.

But, eating is his only hobby!

Although time is in a hurry, fortunately, the chefs of Randal Family have superb skills, skilled knives and well prepared ingredients. They got Alina's menu and quickly set up a table of simple but exquisite dishes.

Of course, the waiter can only gather around the dining table in the back room, gnawing dry bread and cursing stupid big fellow at the same time. When Caligula helped bring the cauldron up, there was not a single drop of the porridge left in it.

Victor did not pay attention to the episode between the attendants. He is accompanying Catherine and Ariel to enjoy today's lunch.

The queen mother is natural and elegant, and her dining etiquette is impeccably perfect, but Victor clearly feels her inner upset.

The wisdom and insight shown by the sweetheart has long made Catherine fascinated by it. Catherine believed more than half of his judgment about the Borui people plotting the port of Lake Fess, and was worried about it.

Actually, Victor's analysis has no solid factual basis. It is purely a far-fetched conjecture and cannot be made accurately. He is bullying the Queen Mother and not running Battle Qi, and his personal emotions are particularly easily mobilized.

Rex used water conservancy projects to re-adjust the industrial structure of Naville Kingdom. Victor also has his own layout, but the object he plans is not a certain kingdom, but uses the Golden Group as a tool to integrate resources for the entire human kingdom.

The original intention of Victor to form the Golden Group was to realize the strategy of moving north to east for the Randal Family family.

Randal Territory is located in the southwestern border of the human kingdom, with the Lizard Swamp to the east, the Jinshui River to the south, the southern territory of Gambis to the west, and the Duke York Territory to the north. Don’t look at Victor’s current call the wind and summon the rain in Gambis Kingdom. In fact, the remote location determines that the Randal Family’s population and material transfers are controlled by external forces. Gambis Kingdom can block the border of Randal at any time, so that the raw sugar, food and other materials of the Randal Family are rotten in the warehouse, thereby forcing Victor to surrender most of the benefits.

The situation has developed to this point, Victor has only two choices, either war or surrender.

War is always the last option for the lord, and both sides suffer if you win or lose, which is nothing for the onlookers. Victor is unwilling to start the war lightly, nor is he willing to surrender. Under the circumstances at that time, he had the idea of ​​forming a smuggling Business Group, and finally clarified the strategic concept of Golden Group going north to east.

The northward strategy includes opening up the business roads of Dodo Kingdom, Naville Kingdom, Wharton Prairie and Sasan Empire, which is now implemented by Sophia.

The eastward strategy of the Golden Group can no longer be handed over to Sophia. Victor must hold the business road from west to east in his hands to balance Sophia's influence on the Golden Group. Otherwise, the logistics flow led by Randal will be at the mercy of Wimbledon marquess.

The Jinshui River flows from west to east, passing through Gambis, Rand Empire, Aier Kingdom, Suse Kingdom, Eastern Alliance and Borui United Kingdom, a total of six Great Influence. Victor's development of Jinshuihe shipping will immediately break the pattern of marginalization of the Randal collar. The large merchant ship of the Randal Family clan was loaded with cargo and went down the river directly to the port of Borui United Kingdom. After the windy season, it sailed retrograde, transported supplies, and returned to Randal.

No force can restrain the shipping trade of the Randal Family, because no one can fight the Thorium battleship on the water. However, the monsoon period supporting fleet sailing against the current is only 4 months, and Victor's merchant ship is not enough to return to Randal from the remote Borui Bay.

Jinshuihe Shipping will inevitably adopt a layer-by-layer transshipment model, and the construction of a port for ships has become a key link in the Golden Group's eastward strategy.

The first transit port envisioned by Victor is set on the northern shore of Lake Fes, the largest lake known to mankind.

The conditions in all aspects of Lake Fess are really very good. The fleet of the Randal Family starts from Rose Harbor and drifts along the water for more than ten days to enter the open waters and gentle flow of Fes Lake. Fleet can cast nets to fish when anchored, and sail south to enter the tributary of Southern Continent. The fleet docked at the North Shore port, and the cargo from Centaur Hills was radiated from the port to the Ayr Kingdom and Rand Empire, and could even flow directly into the Naville Kingdom through Madame Dolly's territory. Fleet continues to sail eastward, passing through Suse Kingdom and Eastern Alliance, and arrives at the estuary of the Jinshui River where Borui United Kingdom is located.

The location of Lake Fes is so important that Victor urgently needs to control a transit port on the north shore of the lake.

Victor listed the construction of the port on the northern shore of Fes Lake as a key plan of the Golden Group's eastward advancement strategy. As the saying goes, saving people by oneself, he is afraid that other forces are also fighting the idea of ​​Lake Fes. Therefore, Mrs. Dolly talked about the border between the Dekaiser count collar and the Rand Empire collar, and Satya revealed that Suse and the Borui Kingdom were married, and the two things may not really be related. But the first thing that Victors thought of was the port issue of Lake Fes.

In fact, for thousands of years, the lords of the kingdoms have been keen to open up land, and they have not clearly realized the huge advantages of shipping trade. For example, the East Knoll River and the West Knoll River in Gambis have navigable hydrological conditions, but the floating bridge, cableway bridge and stone arch bridge built by the lord forcibly cut off the Blinol channel. Even in the Borui Kingdom, which occupies the seven major islands, their shipping activities are limited to short-distance material transfers between islands and coastal ports.

At present, the voyage trade of Jinshuihe only exists in Victor's mind. Lord Knight and Prince have no related concepts.

However, past experience tells Victor that Lord Knight has a strong learning ability and keen judgment. As long as what Victor did was good for the family, they immediately followed suit and improved it without any delay in a day; for things that were not good for the family, they chose to crane their necks to watch the excitement.

In the case of papermaking, the Randal Family family has relatively mature technology for making straw paper, but the manufacturing cost of writing paper remains high. Victor hoped that other lords would also put in manpower and material resources to promote the improvement of the papermaking process, but no one responded. Now that Victor has launched mutual coupon gambling, other lords have finally started to build their own paper workshops.

The lords are so cunning, so it's no wonder that Victor is always suspicious. He believed that as long as he showed some signs, Great Influence would immediately jump out and compete with him for the dominance of the Jinshui River shipping, and the port on the northern shore of Fes Lake would bear the brunt.

In the final analysis, this is the result of differences in family background. Thousand-year giants have a complete handicraft industry foundation, independent scientific research system, mature network, tangled and complicated in-laws, and well-trained spies. They can imitate the ruling actions and inventions of Viscount Randal, including papermaking, shipbuilding, and port building.

The Randal Family has only one in-law of the York family. Although Victor created the Mercury Secret Spy, he really has a black eye for the upper class. The insider information that others told him, he could not verify it, relying solely on his own guesses, it was especially easy to be misled and used.

Whether Mrs. Dolly and Neowest have an interest in linking, Victor cannot confirm. The marriage between Shireen Princess of Suse and Raymond Peter of the Borui Kingdom does not mean that the Borui people have ideas about Lake Fess, and he is not sure.

Victor can be sure that if he stands on the position of Borui Kingdom or Naville, then must take control of the port on the north shore of Suse. However, he is the Royal Highness of Gambis Kingdom, and Gambis has drawn up the South Expansion Plan, which has regarded Fess Lake as the back garden of the kingdom, and will never welcome battleships from other kingdoms to enter Fess Lake.

So, Victor clearly expressed his attitude to Catherine that Gambis should build a port at the mouth of Lake Fes. If Augustus still holds the idea that the emperor cannot be cheap, then gather troops at the mouth of Lake Fes. , To form a military deterrent to the Rand Empire leader, so that other kingdoms can recognize the severe situation, lest they actually reach into Lake Fes.

In short, it is dragging. Take all possible measures to delay the deployment of external forces against Fes Lake, and drag the Gambis battleship down to the Golden Group to build a port on the north shore of Fes Lake!

Although the Randal Family is immature, Augustus has a deep heritage. If Victor feels embarrassed, Augustus with no difficulty can do it. Catherine just wrote a letter to Kite Castle, asking Augustus to come forward to investigate the information. Victor will soon be able to grasp the relevant details to see if there is any error in his judgment. If his guess is true, Yuanbao will naturally use diplomatic resources to thwart the attempts of the Naville or Borui people.

There is no need for Victor to worry about what to do in Kite Castle.

The Viscount Randal moved his lips, and the Queen Mother of Gambis was annoyed by this. This is the influence of a highness on the kingdom.

After lunch, Victor went back to the bedroom and put on the leather armor of the two-headed dragon lizard, ready to set off for the misty mountain range to survey the terrain of the Naville main canal. When Victor came out, Catherine came up with a pair of brilliant eyes, holding his hand, and said affectionately:

"My dear, the first time I saw you wearing a battle outfit... charming Very good."

Victor's double-headed dragon lizard's full-body leather armor was designed by Sylvia personally. It perfectly fits his body line and outlines the tall, symmetrical, bee waist and long legs of the moon elf, azure Black Ze's appearance has a metallic feel, perfectly blending femininity and masculinity into a unique temperament, just like the fine gold long sword in the sheath, deep and restrained, sharp and hidden.

Countess Ariel stared at Victor intently for a long time, her eyes also showed a stunning expression, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Excellency Randal, I heard that the golden rank The jackals are still wandering in the mountains of Naville...Do you need my personal protection?"

"Don’t worry about my safety, especially in the wild."

Victor slightly smiled, Looking down towards Catherine, he said: "I have Pastor Dane by my side. Vespucci Archbishop also sent three high-level warriors to protect him. All these can meet the wind tooth, which shows that our good luck is destined to be praised. ."

"But you need the maid to take care of your daily life."

Catherine said softly, "My dear, Ariel is Silver Dame. When you were in Kite Castle She took care of it, so let her accompany you."

Victor didn't know whether to cry or laugh, shook his head and said, "No need... Not all these rough-and-tough mountain hunters. My dear, I am not what I used to be, don’t think I’m too delicate."

Because you are not what I used to be, I I am worried that some people think what you think is too "delicate and delicious"... Catherine is secretly sighed. She abides by the respect for a highness, and actively puts herself in a lower position, without appealing to her inner worries. mouth. If it was Sylvia, there would not be so many worries, and the one who should speak must be clear.

This is probably the difference between a lover and a wife.

Catherine gently fastened Victor's cloak on his shoulders, fiddling with the details of the dress carefully, until satisfied, said with a smile:

"My dear, I am here waiting for you to come back. But you can’t let me wait too long...every four months, you have to come back and see me. Otherwise, I will find you myself."

"I promise as you wish, the beautiful Your Majesty "

Victor took a step back and gave Catherine a court attendant, said with a smile: "If all goes well, I will be able to finish all the work before the rainy season this year, and return to By your side."

Catherine nodded, holding Victor’s arm, while walking outside, asked: "Are you going to pick those people to accompany?"

"Of course it’s Randal The attendants and guards of the Family clan and Knight of Rose Manor, plus the priest of the church, total 50 people. Elina and the maid of Silvermoon Manor are staying in DeKaiser Count House. Please help me take care of me when I am away. Come on them."

"I will."

Catherine accompanied Victor to the outside of the house. Randal Family's attendants and guards were ready to go. Pastor Dane led a brunette The blue-eyed high-level Paladin greeted him and introduced enthusiastically: "Lord Randal, Mrs. Catherine, this is Lord Warrior Deputy Commander Dittmar."

"Augustus Your Majesty, Good day. Your Excellency Randal, good day."

Paladin took the initiative to salute. He looks 30 years old. He has a handsome face and a toned body. The skin on his hands is smooth and delicate, without any roughness. This is clearly a characteristic of Knight. There are 6 dark gold stripes painted on his left shoulder armor, marking the identity of Level 6 Paladin.

Catherine can't help being emotional, lift up the skirt and curtsey to Paladin, "Master Dietmar, good day."

Level 6 Paladin, superb power and senior silver Knight At the same level, when they cooperate with a Level 4 priest, they can burst out Golden Knight’s battle strength. Moreover, Level 6 Paladin is scarce in number, has a high position, and has a social status equal to that of Golden Knight. They are either Deputy Commanders of the Templars, or they serve as the commanders of the temple warrior in the Cardinals. The most important thing is that the overwhelming majority Level 6 Paladin is a Knight noble, and only the vitality of the Knight level can promote Paladin to a Level 6 priest.

Catherine pays tribute to Dietmar in accordance with the courtesy of the high-level Knight, which is in line with the tradition of transcender.

Victor noticed the closeness of Dane and Dimat, and he immediately understood that this temple warrior Deputy Commander should be Clement's confidant.

"Master Dietmar, it is my honor to meet you." Victor also stepped forward and paid a Knight gift, saying: "You can call me Victor."

" Well, Victor, you can also call my name directly." Dietmar smiled and said bluntly: "I am under the order of the Pope to protect your safety during Naville. Clement has confessed. , I will not interfere with your actions."

Of course, effective protection must interfere with the action of protecting the target. Non-interference is called cooperation... This remark of Dietmar seems to have a special meaning... Victor pondered for a moment, said with a smile: "I'm going to take my mount. It has a grumpy temper. Except for Sylvia and I, it never obeys other people's orders. I'll leave it for a while." After speaking, he took Catherine to the animal pen at the back of the villa.

Hercules, the ferocious swift bird, lowered his head when the male host came over, and made an affectionate gu gu sound in his throat. Victor stroked Hercules’ blue neck feathers, led it out of the animal pen, and asked Catherine in a low voice, "Dear, do you know Ditma? He is a child of the Paladin family?"

"I also saw Ditma Deputy Commander for the first time...I know all the reputation of Level 6 Paladin." Catherine shook her head and said: "The temple warrior has a principal and a third officer, with a total of four leaders. Tornance and Ditma are teachers. Zong’s confidants, the other two are Patriarchs of Tamor. They are not related to the Paladin family. The Level 6 Paladin in the Templars are basically the children of the Paladin family."

"My dear, what did you think of?" Catherine asked softly with her eyes flashing.

"Tornance is in the northern wilderness. Under the crown of Clement, Dietmar was sent over to protect me. There is no Level 6 Paladin by the Pope’s side... Don’t you think it’s weird?"

"You mean, Clement received the news, the Paladin family wants to contact you privately?" Catherine was exceptionally intelligent, and he figured out the key in a flash.

Victor nodded and said: "There is such a possibility."

"Since the Pope arranges for Lord Ditma to accompany you, there is nothing to worry about." Catherine smiled. , Said euphemistically: "I originally wanted the secret warrior of Kite Castle to protect you... I don't seem to need it anymore."

I didn't need protection, but now I need to go with you... Victor can hear this. Ironically, he climbed into the saddle of Shanghai Gris, and the probing hand pulled Catherine up.

"The Randal Family is loyal to the King of Gambis. Of course, Kite Castle is obliged to protect the safety of Viscount Randal."

Catherine was overjoyed, hugging Victor's waist, and said softly: "My dear, I promise that the secret warrior of Kite Castle will defend His Royal Highness Randal's will with his life!"

Victor smiled without saying a word, this is the treatment that His Royal Highness deserves. Gambis' internal contradictions are resolved within the camp and are consistent with the outside.

The fierce Swiftbird let out a loud and long cry, and carried the two to the front yard. Catherine lifted her pretty face from Victor's arms and asked in surprise:

"Hey, I heard Lora say that except for Sylvia and you, Hercules never let anyone ride. Lora did not I was able to ride a ferocious swift bird for a ride and whispered to me for several days."

"This guy only listens to her orders in front of Sylvia...Sylvia is not here, he listens to my orders."

Victor patted Hercules on the neck, and said quite triumphantly. He suddenly realized that he might only be ranked third in Hercules' in mind...Below Sylvia is little fatty Bertina.
