Chapter 388 The First Dynasty, the ancient nobles
Add to the 5,000 rewards from Dad [God’s Punishment]!
…
This time I went on a carriage.
As the destination, the "Kings" Square is at the end of Kings Avenue.
"You are so awesome." After walking out the door, Pier looked at the sales stall outside the Emerald Hall and gave a thumbs up to Lei Wen: "You are the first one I have seen. The nobles who dare to set up stalls on King's Avenue! "
The words are not only admirable, but also a little teasing.
Because even though it was already noon, there could be said that there was no one in the stall here, and there was no one there.
The above products are not many and there are limited types. In addition to the mirror angels, they are the perfume angel kisses, and the angels who are soaps.
In Pierre's view, Raven not only wants to lose his reputation, but also wants to lose all his capital!
"Someone must be the first to do everything." Lei Wen was not worried about this, but took out the invitation he had received before:
"I just said When I came to the capital, I didn’t understand many things. Can you help me explain it? Should I go there? "
Piler took the invitation and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "So it's him."
"Although it's just an earl of the palace, the Farrell family is very famous in the capital. They basically control 60% of the theater industry in the city. They have rich family and often hold high-end cocktail parties."
< br>
"It can be said that whoever can receive their invitation will truly enter the social circle of high-end nobles in the royal capital."
"Farrell has become the spokesperson for the major nobles, otherwise If so, you may have been flooded with the invitation letter now."
Leiwen nodded and asked again: "Then, is there anything I must pay attention to?"
"Release!" Pier seemed to want to pat Raven on the shoulder, but he was too short and he didn't reach it after jumping once, so he had to pat Raven on the elbow:
< br>"You are now a big star in the entire empire. As long as you don't strip yourself naked in public or strip a lady from a certain family, there will be no problem."
"You are the protagonist in this cocktail party. Everyone is waiting to get to know you well!" Lei Wen rubbed his nose, a little flattered.
I really have such a great influence?
In this case, if I hang the "War Hero" brand on the stall as a gimmick, will it be better?
As he was thinking, he heard Pier whispering loudly, "Look, we're here."
"This is the Kings Square!"
Lei Wen looked up and his eyes suddenly froze.
This is the first time he has seen an artificial square of such a scale.
It can be said that this square has exceeded the scale that 99% of the empire can have.
The overall shape is a huge disc, which is like printing the sun on the ground, and at the end is a staircase leading to the royal court.
The statue of Cairns I stands at the top of the stairs, overlooking the entire capital and even the entire empire!
For a moment, Lei Wen was a little moved and wanted to replace the statue with his own.
A real man should be like this!
And when you retract your vision, there are three obelisks erected in the center of this disc-like square.
These three obelisks are arranged in triangles, the center one is pure black, 30 meters high, like a sharp sword penetrated straight into the sky.
The one on the left is about 25 meters high, with a bright yellow color and a slightly smaller scale.
The one on the right is only about 20 meters in height, as white as clouds, and the smallest scale.
"This can be said to be a microcosm of the history of the empire." Pier's eyes were filled with excitement and pride:
"There are three major dynasties in the history of the empire, and each dynasty is recorded on it. , a hero and family with outstanding achievements! ”
The empire has been established for nearly a thousand years, and it has not been interrupted during this period. The throne has not always been in the hands of the Keynes family, nor has it been the king who monopolized the power.
Before the Third Dynasty, which is now, for a long time, the empire was co-governed by nobles, which is known as the "Republic Period". "Yeah, isn't this Mr. Pier?" A soft voice approached with light steps.
Leiwen turned around and saw a young nobleman of the same age as him. He was wearing a dark red satin dress with gold threads on his chest and star-like gems dotted between his shoulders. It's very rich.
The most noticeable thing is not his handsome face, but his pair of wind-catching ears that seem to be rolled over by a rolling pin, so thin that they can transmit light.
"Who is this?" Lei Wen asked.
"Oh, Goddess of Destiny's big toe is on, I'm really lucky today." Pier said, "Let me introduce it."
"This is the grandson of the Imperial Prime Minister Duke Hamilton, and Gusta, also Mr. Jeffrey, the heir of the husband's family, was Mr. Jeffrey. "Mr. Jeffrey, this one is..." "Baron Raven, I know." Jeffrey called After breaking Pier's words, he put Raven in his eyelids: "The current war hero in the empire, the world's number one general, has overwhelmed Duke Pei Dinnan's name!"
"Sure enough Just like a legendary hero, arrogant and not good at socializing."
Lei Wen frowned. He didn't know where Jeffrey's inexplicable hostility came from.
He has never offended the Gustav family.
Arrogant and unsociable, it can be said that the worst evaluation of a person in the aristocratic circle can be basically equivalent to -
A idiot who cannot communicate and is self-righteous.
But of course Lei Wen would not let this label be put on his forehead, and smiled slightly and said:
"Mr. Jeffrey was joking, I don't know what caused you misunderstandings. If it was my behavior, then I apologize to you here!"
"But what I want to make of this is, to Hamilton Prime Minister, I have always respected him very much. The little contribution I have made is far less than the Prime Minister’s contribution to the empire over the years."
This attitude made Pier, who was originally worried about the conflict, quietly relaxed. Have a sigh of relief.
Jeffrey's face darkened. Unexpectedly, Raven responded so naturally, which made him even more angry.
The Gustav family has always been called the "second family of the empire", which is the most influential family besides the royal family.
But Lei Wen's sudden rise changed the direction of the wind. Over the past year, most topics in the imperial capital have been around Lei Wen, which is enough reason to make him unhappy.
Anthony always had nothing to do with the Gustav family, and Raven emerged from him again.
What's more, it was one day since Lei Wen entered the city, but he had never submitted a greeting to the Gustav family, which seemed even more rude in his opinion.
"The humility in words is not humility, but the politeness in actions is really politeness." Jeffrey did not intend to let Raven go: "Baron Raven, you know Is this place? ”
"Holding the Kings Square." Lei Wen said.
"Yes, Kings Square!" Jeffrey spread his arms, as if chanting an aria:
"Do you know why it is named so much??" "Because of these three obelisks!" "Each obelisk is engraved with families that have made extraordinary achievements in the empire."
"It is these families that have guaranteed the past of the empire and created the glory of the empire today. They will also come to make the empire even greater!"
Jeffrey paused for a moment and stared at Lei Wen: "Only families whose surnames are engraved on these obelisks are the real mainstay of the empire, and they are not comparable to some self-proclaimed heroes!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward in the face As the steeplechase walked over, a layer of light yellow Dou Qi was overflowing from her body, flowing into the earth.
Kalala...Kalala...
In the square, in the disk, bricks and stone rings rotated, and the light surged from the ground and gathered on three obelisks. .
The obelisk on the left and right sides light up at the same time!
Bright yellow and white light bloomed, and shining characters flowed out like a halo from them, and were combined and spliced together.
A line of names lit up on the two obelisks:
Gustav.
"Did you see it?" Jeffrey turned to face Raven, with unconcealed arrogance and contempt in his eyes:
"My Gustav family has been passed down for 771 years, and has experienced the second and third dynasties, and among these two dynasties, they have made outstanding contributions!"
"So, Gustav Husband is the cornerstone of the empire! "
At this point, Jeffrey's expression calmed down and said in a condescending tone: "Of course, I'm showing these like you, not to boast about us Gus The honor of the Taff family. "
" Instead, I hope that young people like Baron Raven can know what is war and what is true merit, and don't just defeat a mere principality. Proud and complacent."
"Now, please salute to this obelisk, even to thank those ancestors who have been going on for the empire!"
It's so bad!
Piler wished he could even bite his teeth.
What does it mean is not this or that? In the final analysis, don’t you still show off your Gustav family’s profound history and outstanding achievements?
And the words of the heirs from the big family are really sarcastic and flawless.
The reason is impeccable - let Lei Wen express his respect to the ancestors of the empire.
This was nothing, but the problem was that if Raven really bowed now, it would be equivalent to surrendering to the Gustav family and Jeffrey himself!
In this way, Lei Wen's face and reputation will be swept to the ground, and the reputation accumulated before will be made for the Gustav family!
But at this time, Pierre could not find any reason to refute.
He went to see Lei Wen anxiously, but suddenly became stunned, because Lei Wen's face was full of peace at this moment, and then he suddenly stepped forward.
Ah...
Pierre covered his face, and it seemed that Raven had to surrender.
A victory smile appeared on Jeffrey's face.
But
Raven's knees were not bent at all.
He walked step by step into Jeff and suddenly looked up:
"You said that what is engraved here is the cornerstone of the empire?"
Jeffrey was stunned. He instinctively realized something was wrong, but at this moment he could not change his words:
" Of course! ”
Buzz—
The earth suddenly vibrated!
In the center, a blood light suddenly soared into the sky on the dark obelisk!
That was the obelisk established 991 years ago when the empire was first established!
The marks like a knife-cut and axe-chiseled carvings were imprinted on the obelisk, and surnames appeared one by one.
Jeffrey was stunned-
Who is causing trouble! ?
What the hell is going on?
Didn’t the meritorious families of the First Dynasty have either perished or stayed away from the center of the empire! ?
But his eyes were wandering, but he could only see a group of passers-by who were also stunned and Pier with a surprised face.
The eyes fell on Raven's calm face, and Jeffrey swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Is Lei Wen just... it shouldn't be that there should be only 23 surnames on the obelisk of the First Dynasty. These surnames Geoffrey memorizes them and does not have Griffith at all!
It was just a coincidence, just an abnormality occurred.
Yes, it must be like this!
This obelisk has been established for 991 years. Isn’t it normal for something to happen?
Sure enough, as the surnames were lit one by one, the 23 surnames clearly appeared on the obelisk, but there was no Griffith.
Buzz —
Another buzzing came.
A blood-colored phantom plunged into the obelisk from Lei Wen.
The blood flowed thickly, and a line of text exploded at the top of the obelisk that could be seen in the entire imperial capital:
Griffith
"This...this..." Jeffrey was completely stunned.
The Griffith family turned out to be a family of meritorious deeds at the beginning of the empire! ?
But, how is this possible! ?
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
As he was surprised, Lei Wen bowed deeply to the obelisk and stood up again, which was to comfort his ancestors.
Behind him, Pier, who had witnessed all this, swallowed his saliva, with shock in his eyes.
Lei Wen's back seemed to be even taller than an obelisk at this moment!
This time, Raven was not only comforting his ancestors, but also proclaiming to the entire empire:
Griffith, here we are back!
At this moment, the Griffith family will be a force that cannot be ignored in the imperial political arena.
Lei Wen looked at Jeffrey, who was like a chicken who had encountered a wild wolf: "I have bowed." "Mr. Jeffrey, should I be grateful too What did the ancestors do? ”
Jeffrey's face suddenly turned into a pig's liver.
I originally wanted to suppress Lei Wen, but I didn't expect it to encourage Lei Wen's arrogance!
"Hmph!"
Jeffrey turned around and left.
A servant next to him was stunned by the previous scene: "Young Master, you haven't saluted yet!"
Bang-- >
Jeffrey shook his face, but grinned in pain because his palm hit the helmet: "Go!"
Jeffrey left.
Piler came to Raven: "Good job, Lei Wen, I didn't expect you to have this trick hidden!"
Rai Wen shrugged: "I'm puzzled myself, But I just felt a call, so I walked over. "
"No matter what, your skills are comfortable!" Pierre narrowed his eyes with a smile:
" Speaking of which, you were also implicated by me today. Jeffrey had always been incompatible with me. If you hadn't been with me, you wouldn't have been targeted like this."
"Let's go, I'll treat you today, and go to the 'Crystal Palace'."
"Ah?" Lei Wen He was stunned for a moment: "Crystal Palace?"
Piler said: "Yes, it was newly built a few years ago and the best entertainment venue in the entire capital."
"It was still invested by your old acquaintance Marquis Anthony!"
...
In the end, Raven, who could not resist Pier, went to the Crystal Palace in the imperial capital with him to spend money, but also I didn't stay for too long, and when it was getting late, I set off to return to the Jade Palace. "Eh? We're on the wrong path?" Pier, who got off the carriage, rubbed his eyes.
That's right, it's the Jade Hall.
But why is it suddenly so lively here?
The gate has three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by people.
Weston found a chair and stood up, shouting loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry! There are still angel kisses and angel hugs!"
The crowd suddenly became silly Blasted.
"We have bought a lot of Angel's kisses and Angel's embraces. Now we want Angel's glory!"
"Yes, Angel's Radiance, take it out quickly!"
"Do you know who I am representing? I represent, but Earl of Gangor!"
"The count is nothing. I came on behalf of the Hainholtz family. Do the meritorious family understand it??"
As the looting was about to take place, Weiston said helplessly: "Everyone, I don't want to do it. Sell, but Angel Zhiyao is an extremely rare treasure. The craftsmanship is too complicated. My brother is not here, so I have no right to sell it! "
"In this way, everyone will come back tomorrow morning. Then there will definitely be goods, okay ! ? ”
After hearing this, everyone sighed helplessly and annoyedly, but Weiston said so and had to admit it.
But he didn't leave immediately. After all, the kiss of the angel and the embrace of the angel are also very popular.
Piler who walked around the side door was simply amazed: "Levin, what magic did you use? How did you make these people rob it like this?"
Levin said with a smile: "Well... Actually, I didn't expect it, but thanks to Mr. Jeffrey."
Piler thought for a while, and suddenly realized, and laughed out loud: "If this guy, Jeffrey is I know, I'm afraid I'll be unable to sleep well tonight!"
Pier has his own industry in the king and knows the difficulties in doing business.
When a strange goods arrives in a new place, the most difficult step is to gain a reputation and open up the situation.
Although Lei Wen is a war hero in the empire, it is a war after all, and it has nothing to do with selling goods.
But today the obelisk showed the surname of the Griffith family, and the situation was completely different.
This shows that the history of the Griffith family is as long as the empire.
Then if you can’t keep it, what secret recipe has been passed down for thousands of years?
And as long as you have seen the angel shine, it is hard not to be shocked by the clear light and shadow. In addition, the number itself is small, which causes robbery.
"Oh, speaking of it, I still took advantage of you." Pier smiled and said, "Since Angel Zhiyao is so tight, otherwise, I will take the item I got in my hand before. Give it to you? "
"No need." Lei Wen keenly captured Pier's intention to bring closer relationship: "Actually, I still have a lot of angels in my hand, but I just deliberately control it. Just a little shipment. "
"Oh—"Piler showed a tacit smile: "Then I want to congratulate Baron Levin on his wealth in advance."
"Of course you have to make money together." Lei Wen said earnestly: "I came to the capital, and Pierre is always helping me."
"In this way, I will pay the price of 9999 to the base price. You five angels are shining. When I buy them here, you will wait for the price. How about you?"
"How can you be so embarrassed!" Pier rubbed his hands:
< br>"When will we pick up the goods?"
Piler is a celebrity around His Majesty. Lei Wen pleased him in order to understand His Majesty the King more clearly.
Even if Pier is very strict, at least, he can let Pier say a few more good things in front of His Majesty!
This kind of person cannot be bought with money alone.
Bus making money with him is another matter.
Piler didn't just eat or vomit. After getting the five Angels, he spent nearly two hours explaining to Lei Wen in detail the key points that need to be paid attention to at the cocktail party.
Lei Wen then realized how big the difference between the rules of the royal capital and the local government.
It also avoided the pit that many nobles who had just entered the royal capital would step on in advance.
For example, when kissing a woman, do not bow, but pull the woman's hand directly to your lips; for example, when performing a hat-taking ceremony, be sure to use your left hand to caress your chest and your right hand to your left hand. Remove the hat.
For example, in many places, only close people use vest gifts, but are etiquettes that Wangduzhong needs to use when he first meets.
Send Pier away, Raven was about to rush back to the room, but Julia rushed up: "Sir... I want to say something to you." >
Raven did not refuse, and took Julia to his room, poured two glasses of wine: "Sit."
Julia sat down crampedly, put her hands on her knees, and was on Lei again Wen held the wine glass with both hands in his palm: "Sir, I want to apologize to you." "If I could bear it last night and not teach those guys a lesson , you don't need to..."
Levin was stunned at first, then smiled: "You misunderstood. The person who came to cause trouble for me today is from the Gustav family, not Quiselland's. .”
"And this is not a problem for me. If my person is bullied outside and dare not fight back, that would be embarrassing!"
Julia nodded and sipped her little sip! Holding a glass of red wine.
Raven sat on the chair: "Julia, I'm a little curious. You and Hoyaz both came out of the orphanage, why did you never call me 'father' like them? ? ”
Julia turned red, she drank the red wine in the glass, and stood up again. She did not answer Raven's question, but stared at Raven's deep eyes and bit her lips "Sir, I know that your wife has passed away, and you are very upset."
"We are in the same mood!"
"But... people cannot be resurrected by death, so we still have to look forward."
Hearing "people cannot be resurrected by death", Lei Wen browsed A wrinkle: "You...read my diary?" Julia blinked: "Ah? Do you write a diary too?"
"Cough!" Lei Wen cleared his throat: "This is not important, I can understand everything you say, but understanding is one thing, and whether you can understand it is another."
"In my heart "
"Go down, I'm a little tired too."
Julia took the order and left and closed the door.
Lei Wen picked up the bottle, looked at the dark night outside the window, raised his head and poured all the remaining wine into his throat, and then fell on the bed and fell asleep.
In the next few days, Raven traveled through the capital with Pierre.
The Angel Zhiyao is also steadily selling well. Now the price has reached more than 33,000 gold coins, and every time it is released, it will be sold out.
I can only say that the people in the royal capital are really rich!
Until December 2.
A cocktail party that included all the high-ranking nobles in the royal capital was officially held.
The entire capital's sight also fell on Lei Wen.
