Chapter 30 Nightlife in Goldshire (Part 2)
Raven patted his clothes to make himself look more respectable, coughed lightly and was about to take a step forward.
As a result, before he could enter, the door opened by itself. Two private soldiers in messy shirts helped each other and pushed open the door.
Lei Wen knew these two people, one was named Volaf and the other was named Mosingan. Their faces were red at this time, and they obviously drank a lot.
“Hiccup~” Volaf burped from the wine: “The wine here is really strong~ Phew, even this toilet is too dark.”
Mosingan shook his head with his tongue out loud, but he was still a little more sober than Volav: "No, did we go to the wrong door? This sign looks familiar."
"Whatever! It's here anyway. , I can't hold it in anymore." Volaf walked to a tree and untied his belt, and soon there was the sound of rushing water.
Seeing this, Mosingan also came over and unhooked his belt, took a look at it and said with a smile: "Tsk, buddy, your model is not good. Don't embarrass yourself in front of those sluts." .”
“What men want is not size, but hardness,” Volaf shook! Body: "Let those slutty bitches see what it means to be a man in a moment!"
Mo Xingan nodded and said: "That makes sense. We will go back in a while. We have to hold back our energy and grow our faces! Let's do this this time A dozen brothers, we have to rank them up!”
After the two of them finished relieving themselves, they walked back shaking their heads. Raven stood in the corner not far away and sighed in confusion.
These two guys had a good talk in front of me during the day. One said he wanted to buy a bracelet for his daughter, and the other said he wanted to buy a blanket for his grandma, but they got together here at night.
From what they said, my private soldiers came here for team building. It is estimated that most of them who are on vacation are here.
“A bunch of bastards.” Raven cursed with a smile, turned around and walked towards Central Street.
Finally, I have a vacation and I won’t disturb their interest. I will have the opportunity anyway.
All the way back to the door of the government hall, the private guard guarding the door saluted: "Lord Baron!"
Leaven nodded: "Has anyone been here?"
"President Philip came once , I have brought you a gift and have placed it in your room," the private guard at the door replied.
"Okay, it's been hard on you after standing guard all day. Let's close the door and take a rest." After patting him on the shoulder, Raven walked towards his room.
There were no electric lights in this era. Although there were magic lamps, they were very expensive. Therefore, most of the time, candles and oil lamps were used for lighting. The government affairs hall used candlesticks. Under the dim light, in conjunction with the old The creaking sound of the old wooden stairs being trampled on is quite reminiscent of a horror movie.
Returning to the door, he kicked the door open, and suddenly there were two exclamations.
Leaven's brows were raised slightly, revealing a hint of joking: "Hey, Fili, is this the gift you gave me?"
Two women were squatting in the corner of the room. , the exclamation came from their mouths.
The two look like a pair of sisters, with similar faces. They both have chestnut hair and light gray eyes.
"Come here." Raven raised his foot and gently closed the door.
There was a soft click and the door closed. The two women's delicate bodies trembled slightly. They helped each other get up and walked slowly towards Raven.
Their naked feet stepped on the carpet, and the dim candlelight reflected on their smooth nails, as lively as fireflies on a summer night.
Lei Wen had a satisfied smile in his eyes, because their clothes were so in line with the current atmosphere.
It was a white gauze nightgown, loose, soft, light and translucent.
The candlelight illuminated the clothes and outlined their slim figures. As they swayed in their steps, their sexy calves appeared and disappeared, but they were shrouded in mist-like gauze skirts.
One is tall and the other is short, one is plump and the other is slender. Hidden in the same gauze skirt, they are two completely different temptations.
The latter's body was a little shrunken, and he walked forward with his legs together, occasionally sandwiching the soft fabric between them, outlining a beautiful outline. His youthful and shy temperament made people unable to help but I want to hold it in my arms and ravage it severely.
Although the former was also a little scared, her steps were more open and her chest was straight. Because she had sweated a little first, the thin gauze clothes fit her plump body. Every move made her plump. The body then made waves.
They walked to stand in front of Raven. The older one swallowed: "Lord Raven, I..."
Before she finished speaking, her breathing suddenly became rapid. Get up, because Raven's hand has been attached to their spines, sliding upward slowly, as if there is an invisible electric current flowing through it, making her stand up straight unconsciously.
The young man's breathing also became rapid, his nose flickered, and there was a hint of fear of the unknown in his hum.
The beautiful scenery was revealed in front of Raven.
The older one has a more mature and plump figure, as plump as a persimmon hanging on a branch in late autumn. Although it is a bit heavy, it is full of juice at first glance.
The younger ones seem to have not fully grown yet, and their skin is tight and elastic, like two green pears, provoking sexy curves on the thin shirt.
Leaven's hands went from their backs to their lower abdomens, and then upwards from their lower abdomens, squeezing their respective beauties.
"Ah..." the elder breathed seductively.
“Yeah——” The young man’s voice was filled with panic and fear.
Satisfied with the touch of his fingertips, Raven asked: "What are your names, you two?"
"My name is Winnet." The older man's voice was trembling: "This is my daughter, Della."
Raven's hand stopped: "Daughter!?"
"Yes, sir." Wynette lowered her eyelids gently: "My husband said that only in this way can he pay off his offense..."
A feeling of laughter and laughter washed away Raven's bath. Huo——This Fili actually sent me his wife and daughter.
Who does this guy think I am?
Shaking his head slightly, Raven sighed: "Let's go, go wherever you need to go."
Wynette's body trembled slightly, she heard that this Baron He has always been lustful and ruthless, so he didn't think he would let them go like this: "Lord Baron, have we done something wrong?"
"You are not wrong, don't worry too much." Raven said: "Go back and tell Feili to do things honestly and with his heart, and spend less time on these crooked ways!"
"Thank you for your kindness and kindness. Kindness..." Wynette's body almost softened. Go, she didn't expect that Raven would really let her go, and led Della to salute Raven: "We will always remember your kindness!"
The door opened and closed again, and the sound of footsteps gradually The line went further and further, and not long after, a carriage drove away from the government affairs hall.
Leaven took off his coat and threw it on the bed, threw off his leather shoes and socks, and walked into the balcony barefoot.
The cool night breeze made him feel much more relaxed, who was already a little hot. He bit off the cork and drank a mouthful of Angel Tears. He smiled playfully: "This Fili... …”
"I'm timid, but I'm very thoughtful. I like to figure out others. It can be used, but it's a pity that it can only be used to maintain success. It's far behind if you want to develop."
Lei Wen's eyes widened. It's already ten o'clock at night, but Goldshire is still brightly lit, which is the light emitted from taverns, mansions and hotels.
He slowly stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist, as if he wanted to grasp all of Gold Gold Town in the palm of his hand.
“This is my territory.” Youran let out a long sigh, and Raven drank another mouthful of angel tears.
The cold and moist wine fell down his throat and into his stomach, and the sweet feeling was quite charming.
"This is wine." Raven recalled the beer he drank in the pub. He still liked the taste, but it was not the wine itself, but the memories of an old time attached to it.
But memories are just memories.
For Raven, the market tavern is like a muddy pond where he once wallowed. It’s not bad to go back and experience it occasionally. If he continues to live that kind of life, it’s better to kill him.
It has only been two months since he traveled back in time, and Raven has already begun to be a little confused about which memories are his own and which are the memories of this body - maybe there has been no difference for a long time.
In the past two months, Raven has achieved a goal that he never thought of: inheriting the title of Baron and initially possessing the power of force under his own control. Now, Goldsmith Town is also back in his hands. .
"Power is such a good thing."
It is precisely because he holds power that Fili is so willing to please himself at all costs; it is also precisely because he holds power that he can kill Karl without restraint. Without fear of possible retaliation.
In this world, only nobles are considered humans, and the others are just dogs raised by nobles. No one will kill for the death of a dog.
These are just the beginning. Now that he has come to this world, Raven is not satisfied with a small baronetship. He wants more.
In this world, power is not only reflected in titles and fiefdoms - strong personal strength is a kind of power in itself.
"Magician." Raven dipped his finger into the glass of wine and wrote the word on the table, and then wrote the number 2000 next to it.
The price of the second-level god-given potion specially used to awaken the mage's talent.
But now, Raven doesn't have enough money. At the beginning, the two batches of gold coins given by Denise totaled 800 gold coins. After successive spending, 96 gold coins were left.
The first income from Angel Tears, 235.58 pieces.
227 gold coins obtained from the space belt.
After redeeming the gold coins from Hyde, there are still 3,500 gold coins left in Goldsmith Town.
A total of 4058.58 gold coins.
The total number is large, and the expenses are also large.
Today, 754 gold coins were spent. This was just a deposit, and an equal amount of gold coins would have to be delivered later, for a total of 1,508 gold coins.
If large-scale alchemy equipment is available, Raven is prepared to purchase at least ten sets, which will require 664 gold coins.
Allocate population, 600 gold coins.
The pension for the private soldiers and the bonus issued this time total 8.64 gold coins.
This is already 2780.64 gold coins.
In addition, at least 200 gold coins must be left for emergencies. God knows what accidents may occur during the construction process.
"In this way, the gold coins I can use are..." Raven thought for a moment: "1077.94 coins!"
It is half the distance from the mage potion.
Not to mention, Raven has many plans that require money.
"We still have to work harder to make money." Raven scratched his hair: "Although Goldsmith Town is good, we can't stay for a long time. We should finish the things as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. We still have to focus more on Eagle Town. "
Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Donald relied too much on the tax revenue of Goldsmith Town, so that after the place was cut off, the finances collapsed directly. Of course Raven had to learn a lesson.
And Goldshire has its own drawbacks.
Firstly, he was too close to Xuefeng Territory. Viscount John was temporarily bluffed by him, but it did not mean that he would remain confused in the future. If he really wanted to retaliate, it would be impossible to prevent him.
Another, the most fundamental problem: Goldshire lacks a real pillar industry.
The business here is lively and the population flow is complex and intensive. The most representative one is the liquor industry.
But this is the most fatal problem.
The economy of Goldsmith Town relies on the sale of alcohol, but there are no local breweries. Except for a small amount of private brewing, most of it relies on trade imports.
This is not a big problem in peaceful times, but Nord Province will not always be peaceful.
"It should start by the end of the year at the latest, right?" There was a dark cloud in Raven's eyes.
Old Gordon once persuaded him that now that Gold Flash Town has just been taken back, Eagle Town is in dire need, and he should invest more of his precious gold coins in the construction of the territory, instead of not Spend huge sums of money to recruit private soldiers and arm them with military equipment.
After all, nearly 500 gold coins were spent on arms purchases this time, accounting for one-fifth of the total budget.
But Raven would never give in. If it weren't for the population problem, he would have wanted to raise an army of at least 300 people in one go.
If the money is not used to equip the army, should it be used to pay reparations?
And he knew that the Nord province would soon be in chaos.
As early as when he was in Meng'en City, Raven had smelled some clues - people from the slums in the city were missing in droves, elusive preachers appeared frequently, and low-level civilians were keen to participate in secret gatherings.
Raven still remembers their slogan: "When Danatus wakes up, we will be reborn."
Danatus, the legendary god of death who has fallen into eternal sleep, will open his eyes every winter month.
That’s why Raven decided that something big was going to happen in Dongyue, and he asked Old Gordon to complete the population allocation before October.
It was not that he had not thought about reporting these to the Church of Light, but Raven himself quickly denied it - the matter had reached the point where even a little person like himself knew about it, how could those nobles and priests be at a loss? What about ignorance?
Getting involved hastily will only ruin your life faster.
At that time, Raven's choice was to save money and try his best to live in the upper town of Men'en City, where the rich and powerful gathered. No matter what happened, they would not be affected.
But now that he has become a lord, he has a new choice.
He was unable to prevent the coming turmoil, and he didn’t know how large it would be - was it easily extinguished? Or take Nord by storm?
None of these are important. What is important is that he needs to have a force in his hands, a force sufficient to protect himself, so that he has a choice whether to fight, defend or escape.
Then the next goal will be clearly visible.
"To recruit soldiers, we also need to recruit a group of maids." Angel shed tears, Raven's eyes became brighter: "Then when the first batch of goods arrives, we will return to Eagle Town."
< br>
"There are many options to choose from. The standards for this batch of recruitment must be stricter and the level of training must be improved."
Raven tapped his fingers on the table: "Then, we need to become a magician as soon as possible. , next month’s income from Angel’s Tears, plus the balance of 700 gold coins owed by Denise, should be enough.”
“And then...” A smile appeared on Raven’s lips. , this smile contains a hint of self-deprecation and a bit of ambition.
"I want to have a legion, a legion composed entirely of extraordinary beings!"
He even thought of a name, and it was called [Twelve Constellations Legion].
Those who practice ice fighting spirit are organized together and are called [Aquarius Legion]; those who practice dark fighting spirit are organized together and are called [Cancer Legion]; those who practice steel fighting spirit are organized together and are called [Taurus Legion]...
Of course, these are only in the imagination stage at present. Let alone gathering the twelve constellations, even gathering the twelve extraordinary ones is not something he can currently support financially.
Keren must have some dreams, otherwise what is the difference between him and salted fish?
And now, he has found the key to unlocking it all - the magic core.
Since the energy in the magic core can be used to strengthen himself, why can't it be used to strengthen others?
Even if this kind of strengthening does not bring fighting spirit, the improvement of physical fitness is obvious.
A bottle of first-level god-given potion costs three hundred gold coins, while the price of a first-level magic core is only four or five gold coins on average. The difference is obvious.
"Well... I hope that Fili can do things more quickly and send me the magic core as soon as possible." Raven's eyes were full of expectation.
At the same time, in an independent manor in the southwest of Goldsmith Town, a savage and clear voice sounded: "Karl is dead? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The speaker was A girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. She was petite and wore a silk nightgown. Her delicate legs poked out from under the skirt, and her ten cardamom-like toes stretched out playfully because of her owner's anger.
The maid half knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Miss Nancy, we got the news at noon, but you were conducting magic experiments at that time, so..."
Nancy pouted and reprimanded dissatisfied: "I said we want to conduct magic experiments. You know better than to disturb me, but have I ever told you that today is the day when Raven takes back Goldshire? If there is any trouble, tell me immediately."
"Yes, miss. But..." The maid's voice was full of grievances.
It’s not that she didn’t report anything today, but before she could finish her words, a bottle of magic potion was poured on her body. At that time, her clothes were completely ruined. How could she dare to say more?
Nancy also remembered this, but of course she would not apologize. She angrily picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth: "Huh! Tell me, how did he die?"< br>
The maid whispered: "It is said that he was shot to death on the spot by Baron Raven because he intended to assassinate Baron Raven."
"Assassination?" Nancy's eyes widened and she sneered: "It's really novel, a The businessman went to assassinate the Baron without any reason. Does Raven think that everyone else is stupid?"
"Carl is the dog of my Fox family. It depends on the owner to beat the dog? Yes, Raven did this because he clearly didn't take the Fox family seriously."
"Change!" She stood up and said, "I'm going to ask Raven for help."
< br>"This..." The maid raised her eyelids cautiously: "But Miss, it's already midnight. Are you going to visit a man at this time..."
"Hmph, a little gangster, can I like him?" Nancy rolled her eyes and sat back on the couch: "But you are right, my reputation cannot be in the hands of this 'little bee' "In the future, I will become a princess."
The maid bowed her head and was speechless. Let alone the princess, Nancy has never seen a prince in her life.
"Then wait until tomorrow morning." Nancy raised her head, like a high-spirited rooster: "Don't he want to establish his power? I will break into the government affairs hall and let him stand in front of everyone. Apologize to me in person, I want them to know——
The majesty of the Fox family cannot be offended at will!”
