Another day trampled by the witch

"Father, all the bonds have been sold, including the meeting gift you asked me to send to the south. There are a total of 22 magic crystals, [-] high-level staffs, and more than [-] sets of magic armor. In the past few days, they will send someone over to deliver a letter with their commitment, seal and exclusive keepsake."

"Well, then there is no need to worry about it."

He nodded in satisfaction, looking at the tall and handsome son in front of him, he was very satisfied. Although this boy was a little naive when he was young, he kept saying naive things like going to the battlefield with Her Majesty the Queen, but after the coming-of-age ceremony She is still a lot more sensible, and runs the family honestly, becoming her best successor.

For the upcoming war, no one has a sharper sense of smell than this group of nobles. As early as a few months ago, they began to slowly sell off the fixed assets in a certain kingdom and convert them into general-purpose gold and magic spar. Kind of hard currency, because both of these things have fairly frequent and common uses on the mainland.

As for those stupid civilians who bought their own bonds, that was not something he could care about.

In order to leave a way out for himself, O'Meilahou specially sent someone to send some greetings to his "neighbors" in the south, and also sent a message of sincerity, saying hello in advance. Naturally, wealth can only come to naught, which is the real reason why he is now slowly converting his existing assets.

but.

Mechel hesitated for a few seconds, but still spoke out what he had suppressed for a long time.

"Father, who are you planning to sell this batch of magic rough stones to? The orcs in the north?"

"We're still negotiating. Now they are the ones asking the highest price. Not to mention the war is about to happen. They are out of stock. No matter how high we raise the price, they will just scold me and bite their teeth."

"The problem is that the orcs in the north are at war with us, Roria. Your Majesty's previous law has said that it is not allowed to sell any magic raw materials to other countries. Let's just sell them to a few other countries that are in peace. This time period Is it inappropriate to sell it to the north..."

"If something is inappropriate, how do you think it should be dealt with?"

"Used for military supplies... What do you think?"

The young man asked tentatively.

Although he knew that he was a little reckless, but when he thought that all his former mentors rushed to the front line again because of the outbreak of war, he was a little impetuous. Although the relationship between him and his mentor is not so friendly now, but He still felt that he should help something.

Back then, his father entrusted his connections to get him a title. Mechel, who was ecstatic, was actually the first to notify his mentor. He hoped that the teacher who taught him martial arts and magic would come to witness it with his own eyes, but it was a pity...

They didn't rush over, and even caught a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Mechel is very smart. A high-achieving student who can graduate from an institution of higher learning with No.1 grades is not a fool, but what can he do with the things his father arranged for him, not to mention that this is something he was born with. .

Since then, the master and the apprentice have not met each other. It seems that since then, Mechel completely abandoned his talent and replaced it with a handsome young master who wanders among the noble ladies every day. .

"reason."

"Three months ago, when His Majesty convened a meeting of all the nobles, he mentioned that he hoped that each of our families could contribute to the kingdom. After so many days, His Majesty has not raised anything, so why don't we invest in the kingdom?" , maybe the war in the north will not be so tight, so our family's status will not be shaken."

"Hmph, ignorance."

I really couldn't listen to what my son said, and was interrupted by this chubby Marquis, looking at his son with hatred, when will this kid be enlightened?

He said in a teaching tone: "What are you doing at this time? If you give it to the kingdom, you will lose everything. Why can't your Majesty raise anything? It's because everyone is not optimistic about it. Your Majesty's side? Why are you so stupid at this time?"

"Roria is already poor, and the treasury is empty. It would be enough to fight for half a year. Your Majesty is certainly powerful, and he is one of the best among many monarchs, but how can one person support the country? What's more, Roria doesn't have enough money at all. If the treasury is sufficient, I will definitely invest in His Majesty's side."

"Everyone is trying to find a way to cash out their assets, and I have spent so much manpower and material resources to open up the relationship with the southern countries. At this time, you think that the kingdom will have to pay for it? What's more, we are selling, aren't we? Send, they are still holding things in exchange, in a sense, we are still helping."

Seeing his father's expression of peace of mind, Mechel could only hold back a few words weakly.

"Isn't it because no one is willing to be this early bird that our country's treasury will be empty?"

"Then what do you think? If everyone is willing to hand over part of their property, it will stabilize their position. The problem is that if you do what others don't, wouldn't you lose all your money?"

"...that is His Majesty, the person we swore allegiance to."

"Ugh."

Lord Marquis just sighed, and patted his son's shoulder earnestly. Once upon a time, he had the same enthusiasm as this immature boy, but reality is reality, and interests are interests. The older you are, the more transparent you will see.

"You remember, the ancestors have shed blood for us, and now these are what we deserve, and they are the blessings that the ancestors left us, understand?"

"……Yes."

Volume 37: Chapter 37 Chapter [-] Her Majesty the Queen loves to torture people all her life

dong dong dong-

There was an even knock on the door.

It was still quite rhythmic, with the same regularity of three longs and one short, nine shallows and one deep. The man who was sleeping soundly beside the bed didn't respond, and he was lying on the bed like a dead pig, breathing evenly.

"excuse me."

The girl with black hair and black pupils slowly opened the door and poked a head in.

As usual, Anna's dress is quite classic and dignified. As a distinguished guest from the twin sister cities, Luoka will not live in other parts of the royal city, of course, near the royal palace, so that it is convenient to be on call at any time, I don't know if it is Today's Anna specially trimmed her short hair because she wanted to accompany Loka to meet the queen. Although the length was still just above her shoulders, this hairstyle undoubtedly suited her style.

It was short and capable, revealing the cuteness of a girl. The end was slightly upturned, adding a bit of femininity to her. She slowly came to the head of the bed and tidied up the thin blanket that was about to be kicked to the floor. Looking at the solid muscles on the man's body The curvy girl couldn't help but her heart beat faster. This perverted gentleman seemed to have some weird habit, and always liked to fall asleep.

Put the water basin in your hand on the bedside table. The job of maid is not as good as imagined. Many people think that it is just serving tea and water. In fact, their work is quite cumbersome and complicated. In addition to housework and taking care of the master, They are also responsible for purchasing, delivering letters, and providing professional services. Even in the noble circle, there is a habit of giving maids to each other, or sharing.

However, although the social status of maids is ordinary, they are not too lowly. As I mentioned last time, things like maids depend on their masters to determine their social status, but this is actually a bit of survivor bias, because they have the ability to let The maids who serve them are basically either rich or noble, and if they have no money, they can't afford it. Therefore, compared with ordinary civilians, these maids are considered quite lucky and noble people.

The warm towel slid across the body, causing some itching, but immediately there was a sense of comfort, which made the man sleep more comfortably, but when the girl continued to wipe along the man's abdominal muscles, her hands suddenly stopped.

Take a deep breath.

(omitted here)

Well, as a maid, I will always accidentally see some indescribable evil god. Fortunately, she has been in charge of Lorca's daily life these days, and I am not used to it. Now that I have wiped my body clean, the girl also understands what she should do. After waking Loka up, he sat on the edge of the bed consciously, pushing his hands lightly, maintaining a way that was just enough to wake people up but not obtrusive.

"What time is it... let me sleep for a while..."

With his head tilted, the man completely lost his breath.

"But we still have to meet Her Majesty the Queen today, please get up early."

"what time is it?"

Hearing that he was going to meet the queen, the man finally raised an eyelid.

"Six in the morning."

"Then I'll sleep for another two hours."

After all, his head tilted again.

Usually, the queen usually starts to deal with official duties at nine o'clock in the morning. Naturally, the reason for waking up early is to tidy up Lorca's appearance, have breakfast, and tell about the rules of the palace by the way, and as a subject, he must wait Queen, there is no reason for the queen and other subjects.

but!

Don't underestimate the ability of a modern person to catch up with work. He is a person who can get up, dress, wash, have breakfast, and even get in the car within 5 minutes!

"There's really nothing I can do about you, Mr. Loka, even though he's so old, he still likes lazy beds like a child."

"Sleepy……"

Shaking her head helplessly, as a person with dragon blood, she doesn't actually feel too tired, which is one of the reasons why she was selected as a royal maid, but ordinary people still have to maintain it for at least seven hours a day Last night, Luoka was full of thoughts about meeting the queen tomorrow, so naturally he went to bed late.

Without continuing to disturb Lorca's dream, the maid sat on a standard duck with her buttocks touching the pillow. From this, she could see that her body was quite terribly flexible, and then helped the man up. The male smell made her endure Can't help but have some eyes floating, because this is equivalent to two people almost sticking together.

The man who was held in the girl's arms seemed to feel the fullness of the two balls behind him, and even rubbed a little, then continued to run to play chess with Duke Zhou.

Pretty face became hot for a while.

The strangeness coming from her body didn't make her stop her movements. Although Loka weighed [-] to [-] pounds, she was like a toy in front of the dragon maid, and she put the clothes on the man in two or three strokes , and then gently put it down, and climbed to the end of the bed to work for a while, and finally dressed neatly.

"Huh—it's really not easy, Mr. Loka, you must dress neatly when meeting His Majesty this time, and you don't need to kneel down, but you must behave like a gentleman. I have prepared a tuxedo and a top hat for you, I believe you will It fits your figure very well."

"Um……"

"Her Majesty has a bad temper, if you provoke..."

Speaking of this, Anna stopped suddenly, because she thought that her Majesty the Queen had such a happy chat with Loka during the day yesterday, and even deliberately made up a false identity to chat with Loka. Lilia was so happy to be able to guess what the two of them were talking about yesterday.

"No, Her Majesty is generous and merciful. I will definitely not be angry with you. Speaking of which, you will be very pleasantly surprised if you see Her Majesty."

"Surprise? Is it a big beauty? If you say this, then I won't be sleepy."

Hearing these two words, Loka regained his energy and opened his eyes. The sober attitude in the world made people wonder whether the person who was about to die just now was him, and whether it was Mr. Loka who wanted to help him. He put on pants to pretend he wasn't awake, right?

For a while, she couldn't help feeling a little funny, but when she thought of how Loka would see Her Majesty the Queen tomorrow, she couldn't help but be full of anticipation.

Looking forward to the moment when the surprise comes.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen is a beautiful woman. She is quite tall and has a glamorous appearance. She usually likes to wear high heels. No one in the whole kingdom can match her. She is known as the number one master of Roria, but also enjoys The title of No. [-] beauty in Roria."

This sentence made a certain LSP's eyes shine, and he immediately got up from the bed and asked: "Speaking of which, I still don't know what the queen looks like, what are her characteristics, and what are her hobbies? Tell me first, don't tell me when the time comes." It would be embarrassing if you were wrong.”

silence.

Looking at the man in front of him with the eyes of an idiot, he reminded himself that he has not reacted to this?Sometimes Loka is really smart, and he solves the problem that has troubled Lilia for several years in one day, but sometimes...

Forget it, if the gods open a door for you, they will definitely close a window for you.

"Her Majesty has a lifelong passion for torturing people, especially stomping on them."

"Is there such a good thing? How can I make the Queen angry?"

"?"

Volume 39: Chapter 38 Chapter 4 Let's continue yesterday's topic【[-]K】

clang--

clang--

clang--

Heavy and solemn, as long as people living near the palace will hear the thick bell at the gate of the palace every morning, and it will ring at nine o'clock every morning. In order to avoid disturbing the people, the sound is not too loud, but no matter how many times you hear the heavy sound, You will feel as if there is a stone in your chest, which makes you breathless.

From the outside to the outside, the entire Roria King City covers an area of ​​more than 400 square kilometers. It is divided into eight regions from south to north. Each region has its own city gate. There are more than [-] million permanent residents in the city. The merchants and people who live here temporarily, I am afraid that this number will increase by half.

In a modern society, the scale of a city with millions of people is not small, not to mention that in this chaotic age, since the magic war that broke out hundreds of years ago, life on the mainland has become short and fragile, not only the magic of the Kingdom of Roria The war, and the war of independence declared by other countries also pushed the Nossian dynasty to the forefront. No one knows how many people died in the decades-long melee.

But what is puzzling is that in addition to the deaths during the melee, the lifespan of normal people also seems to be shortened over time.

Before that, the average life expectancy of ordinary people was actually close to eighty. Although there is no so-called medical technology or antibiotics in this world, there are many incredible magic and special products in this world, and most diseases can be cured. Healing, but since the war of independence in various countries, the average life expectancy is declining at an extremely weak speed.

More than 300 years have passed.

No one knows why, and few people are aware of it, but the average life expectancy of ordinary people has changed from 78 to less than [-] today. Everyone's aging speed seems to be affected to varying degrees. The only survivors may be those People with great strength, only they seem to be able to resist the erosion of time, whether it is themselves or their blood, it seems that they have not been greatly affected.

But it's just that they haven't been affected too much. If someone observes carefully, they will find that even the descendants of the soldiers are far inferior to their ancestors who opened up the era in terms of physique and talent. No one found the problem, they only thought that the dilution of the bloodline caused this result, but no one thought that those powerful warriors did not even have noble bloodlines.

They are all strengths acquired through practice.

The majestic wall is entirely made of marble, each one cubic meter, piled up in layers, so dense that even a silver needle cannot be inserted into the gaps, it was built by hundreds of thousands of workers and a full 20 giants. The colossal thing forged by the craftsmen, the city wall is dark and reveals the chill. The wall is [-] meters high and five meters wide, which is even enough for two ordinary carriages to walk side by side on the city wall.

Every few hundred meters, there will be a tower standing on it. In addition to the garrison personnel, there are also valuable magic crystals buried in the tower. These are all condensed and forged by magic masters relying on their own strength. The number of magic crystals that can be condensed is also quite limited. In other words, magic crystals are the only relics that these magicians can leave in the world.

For the lost magicians, this is the supreme honor. They all hope that after their death, they can turn their bodies and all their power into a magic spar and place them on the city wall, to protect the king city, the queen, and Lori. It is a pity that there are always some people who will abandon the wills of their ancestors and their dignity as sons of men because of their interests, and are finally sold to foreign forces by nobles at extremely high prices.

In addition to the magic spar, the top of the city wall is also surrounded by bright metals, not just brass, but also partly gold-plated, but even if it is only gold-plated, this terrifying city wall cost tens of thousands of tons of gold to construct, which is not a luxury Or reveal the wealth of the kingdom, which is their weapon against foreign enemies.

The reason why gold is a hard currency is not because of decorations or wearing gold jewelry to go out, but because of their strong stability, extensibility and versatility. Gold is needed in various industries In places like modern society, phone cards and electronic chips have more or less an extremely thin layer of gold plating, which is an indispensable production material.

In today's world, gold can be used to guide the release of magic, and to create weapons and armor. For example, the team of knights who came to the king's city, their armor was mixed with part of gold, used for Better connection and extension of various joints can also be used to absorb magic and play a buffer role.

If someone overlooks the entire royal city from a high place, they will find that the city walls are connected together to form a huge octagonal city. There are main roads at the junction of the eight areas, and there must be eye-catching magicians on the road leading to the palace. The tower is the most central location in the entire royal city.
