This time, Lorist brought three allies to Morant City for a visit and stayed at the most famous Dawslager Hotel on Rose Avenue in the business district. This was the most luxurious hotel in Morant City, and of course it was also the most expensive. However, Loristet was not short of money, so he rented a four-story side building, which was enough to accommodate everyone.
Earl Kenmes brought two maids, four personal servants, two family silver knights and ten guards. Baron Shaheen brought all five of his concubines here. There was no other way. When it came to going to Morente City, the most prosperous commercial city in Galintia, no woman was willing to give up this shopping trip. Begging, Baron Shaheen had no choice but to go with a wave of his hand. As a result, he had the most people, and there were twenty-four maids, servants and guards who served his five women.
Baron Felim brought a concubine and two maids, as well as his precious daughter Katerina and four guards. Lorist brought his two apprentices, Reddy and Schwader, as well as Hughes Great Swordsman and the God Arrow Josk who had left the army again, as well as the three daughters of Dina and the three maids serving them. bodyguard. A group of eighty-nine people in total.
Before the War of Glass, the Dawslag Hotel was the favorite place for all foreign nobles to settle down and stay after they came to Morente City. Various banquets, dances and parties were often held here, and the upper echelons of the business alliance and Aristocrats from all over the world dealt with each other here, reaching an exchange of interests and agreements one by one. But after the War of Glass, the Dawslag Hotel seemed very deserted, but Lorist and his party added a lot of popularity to this place.
After Lorist arrived at the Red Crow Tavern, he unexpectedly found that Reddy was drinking and chatting with the boss, Gary Lando. Seeing Lorist come in, he got up and said hello.
"Hey, why did you come here? What about them?" Lorist asked in surprise.
Reddy knew what Lorist was asking, and replied, "My lord, they're all back at the Dawslager Hotel. I think they'll come back and see daddy when they're free."
Lorist sat down, Gary Lando rolled his eyes at him, and sighed: "Locke, I really regret letting El and Reddy follow you to the Northland..."
Lorist was startled: "Why do you say that? Lao Jia."
"What a great opportunity this time. If El is still here, I will definitely ask him to organize a mercenary group. He will go to Trimble Kingdom for a while and come back to at least be a viscount. He will immediately become a nobleman and own a territory. Why bother? I followed you to the wild north to fight to the death." Gary Lando said with a sigh.
"Hehe, Reddy, do you regret following me?" Lorist ignored Gary Lando, he was easily confused when he was old, and he really thought that being a noble in the business alliance was so easy. Don't look at the canonization of so many territorial nobles in one breath, they are all used as a cover on the surface. Except for those who have always been highly respected and have great reputation in the business alliance, such as Dean Levins, every remaining canonized territory The transactions and trade-offs behind the nobles are indispensable.
"My lord, I have never regretted it. It is my lifelong honor to follow you!" Reddy replied decisively.
Gary Lando pointed at Reddy dumbfounded: "You, you have learned to flatter! Look at yourself, you have been following this kid for ten years. Ten years ago, you were already a bronze star. Now look at yourself, you are only silver. One star, did you say it didn’t delay you? It’s impossible for Er to be promoted to the golden rank until now. His family’s dark-attribute grudge is already much more difficult to practice, but you are not, if you stay here for ten years Morente City follow me, I guarantee that you are already at the silver peak, maybe you will be promoted to the gold rank next year, you must know that your aptitude is much better than ordinary people... "
Reddy pouted: "I don't want to open a tavern with you."
Gary Lando was furious: "You, you kid, I'm so mad at you. You've been delayed by this guy and you still won't turn back. I know it for your own good!"
Lorist was not happy: "Hey, hey, Lao Jia, what did you say? Why did I delay his career? By the way, I forgot to tell you that Reddy will always be a silver first rank, and he won't be promoted again. No. Because he learned my skills, not battle qi. But let me tell you clearly, even if you are a gold star, you are no longer Reddy's opponent."
Gary Lando was angry: "Nonsense, I am not his opponent, is this possible? I am a gold rank, he is a silver star, and I can easily crush him just by the difference in fighting spirit rank. Go, go, Let's go, Reddy, you go to the backyard to compete with me, if you lose, I won't allow you to follow this kid anymore."
Reddy looked helplessly at Lorist, who waved his hand: "Go, remember to show mercy."
These words were like adding fuel to the flames, Gary Lando looked at Lorist angrily: "Aren't you going to take a look?"
"Why do you go? I know if I win or lose. It doesn't matter if I go or not." Lorist was very surprised. Lao Jia was in a bad mood tonight, so he stopped stimulating him.
Lao Jia turned his head and left, and Reddy had no choice but to follow.
They went and came back quickly, as soon as Lorist ordered food with the maid in the tavern, Reddy came back.
"How many swords?"
Reddy held out five fingers.
"Well, five swords, you still have to work hard, I thought you only used three swords." Lorist was still a little dissatisfied.
"No." Reddy said: "Twice in the competition, the first time with two swords, the father was not convinced and said that he was careless and did it again, this time it was three swords..."
"Uh..." Lorist looked at the passage leading to the backyard of the tavern, but he didn't see Gary Lando: "Where's Lao Jia?"
"Squatting in the backyard, tell me to get out," Reddy said.
"No, what's going on tonight, there's something wrong with Lao Jia, as if he's eaten gunpowder, and has such a violent temper?" Lorist asked.
Reddy burst out laughing: "He lost his face today, gathered a few old neighbors to play maze cards in the store, and was happy that the proprietress Louise let him take care of the next two children and she was going out to buy things , He agreed but didn't worry about it. Those two bastards got drunk while stealing wine while he wasn't paying attention. The proprietress Louise was furious when she came back, she took the iron pot and hit him several times, and put the maze card He was thrown away, the old neighbors were chased away, and he was made to kneel in the corner not allowed to get up, and he went home first with two drunk children... "
Lorist couldn't help laughing. Gary Lando married Eldest Louise ten years ago, and he grew stronger and stronger, making Eldest Louise pregnant twice. Now the two children are ten years old and seven years old. The two brothers may have grown up in taverns since they were young. They especially like drinking, and they would steal alcohol if they didn't pay attention. Sister Louise has always complained that Lao Jia shouldn't have dipped in wine for his son to taste while he was still breastfeeding, and as a result, he raised two alcoholics.
However, I didn't expect that Gary Lando would suffer from henpeck in the past ten years. When Elder Sister Louise got angry, Lao Jia became a coward, and she didn't have the prestige of a golden swordsman at all.
"No wonder I always felt that something was wrong in the tavern when I came in. It turned out that Miss Louise didn't stand behind the wine cabinet, and didn't hear the two children's noisy voices." Lorist said.
Reddy shrugged his shoulders: "When I came in, my father was kneeling in the corner facing the wall. I asked the maid what was the matter and he heard the voice, so he got up and lectured me with a straight face. Fortunately, my lord, you are here, otherwise the old man Dad will take all the fire on me..."
Just in time, the maid came over with the food and wine that Lorist wanted. Lorist smiled and said, "It seems that we came at the wrong time today, we should go back after eating, and you sit down and eat together."
"Yes, my lord." Reddy poured a glass of black plum wine for Lorist: "My lord, when we went shopping on Triumph Avenue this afternoon, we ran into a rogue nobleman who came over to tease the five of Miss Dina and Baron Shaheen." Madame, she said a lot of crazy things, and we broke a leg later, and told us to be careful."
"Oh?" Lorist was taken aback, how could this happen in Morente City, who the hell would be so stupid as to moles a foreign noble woman on Triumph Street, and stayed in Morente City by himself? I haven't heard of such a thing in ten years. However, Lorist immediately remembered that the more than 400 territorial nobles newly conferred by the Business Alliance were probably the prodigal sons of some territorial nobles. He thought that he had no scruples when he became a nobleman. A merchant is a merchant, and he has no background of nobility.
Nodding his head, Lorist said, "I see, it's all right. I'll break all his limbs in the future, and if he's not honest, I'll cut off the thing that caused trouble. We, the Norton family, don't need to give anyone face for such a thing."
After a sumptuous dinner, Lorist and Reddy walked slowly along the road looking at the business district without calling a taxi. After walking for more than half an hour, the shadows of the tall gatehouse of the Dawslag Hotel and the buildings behind it could already be seen. Tonight's moonlight is very bright, shining golden and green on the golden roofs of several buildings in the Daoslige Hotel.
Well, no, why are there so many people gathered in the garden square in front of the Dawslag Hotel, and they seem to be waving swords and shouting loudly, but there are more and more onlookers gathered around, what happened
Lorist and Reddy glanced at each other, quickened their pace, and soon arrived in front of the main entrance of the Dawslager Hotel. But I saw dozens of hotel guards standing in front of the hotel gate, and they were very tense and on guard. But on the garden square opposite the hotel, hundreds of people dressed in messy mercenaries gathered, brandishing knives and guns, shouting loudly and demanding that the Daoslago Hotel hand over the murderer...
Reddy-Lalorist: "My lord, those people in the square seem to be coming towards us..."
"En? Then why did they ask the hotel to hand over the murderer? Didn't you say that you would break the leg of that noble boy this afternoon?" Lorist asked.
Reddy smiled wryly: "My lord, we broke one leg of that noble boy, but he also brought a lot of guards. Although only a few of our guards were slightly injured, two-thirds of the guards on the other side were Those who were carried back, I don’t know if some of them were not rescued and died too much.”
"Oh, that's right. Let's go around and rummage inside first, and see what those people outside are trying to do." Lorist pointed to a wall at a far corner and said.
After entering the hotel, Lorist quickly met the head manager of the Dawslag Hotel. The half-white haired, serious and polite hotel manager finally felt relieved when he saw Lorist's arrival. He breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, may I ask if you had any conflicts with the young master of the Marquis of Beji Mountain today?"
"Marquis of Begi Mountain Fall, what is that? It's not a noble family name at all?" Lorist was very puzzled, the name was too earthy and awkward, it couldn't be the name of a nobleman at all.
As we all know, the name of the aristocratic system in the Galintia continent has two sources. One is inheritance, the name passed down from the ancestors, just like the name of the Norton family, which means angry bear in the ancient elf language. The second is to give a name, the honor bestowed on the family by someone with a noble status, such as Baron Shaheen. A name like Beji Shanluo translates to the bottom of the alley, and is generally another name for civilians, meaning the people who live in the innermost alley. That's why Lorist felt strange when he heard it. There are nobles with such names
The chief manager's face also turned red. As the person in charge of entertaining the nobles from all over the world, he also knows the knowledge system passed down by these nobles very well, and he is also very ashamed of such a name. But he couldn't help it. The business alliance conferred more than 400 nobles in one go. Many of them didn't even understand what a noble was. generally.
A name like Beji Shanluo sounds unique and peculiar, but those who really understand the knowledge system inherited by the nobility will know that such a name is the pronunciation of the native language before magicians created the common language in the era of magic civilization. After the magicians created the common language, they once created the common language surname in the ancient elf language according to the inheritance of magic blood. And a surname like Beki Shanluo means that this family was also a pariah in the era of ancient magic civilization, and had never received a common language surname.
However, the fact that a surname like Beji Shanluo can continue to this day is finally the end of all hardships, and a great talent has come out. The current second-level parliament of the business alliance, the chairman of the alliance parliament is the Marquis of Beki Mountain Fall. It is said that the Lord Marquis is a hardliner to the outside world. He is currently clamoring in the Alliance Parliament to use powerful and invincible alliance military forces to smash those kingdoms that have cut off commercial routes. Conquering those countries that do not obey the business alliance, this kind of brainless speech is currently very popular among the civilians of Morente City.
The head steward blushed and introduced the details of the Marquis of Lower Begi Mountain, Lorist snorted: "Our female relatives were harassed by that shitty son of the Marquis you said this afternoon when they were shopping on Triumph Avenue, and even wanted him to The guards took our female relatives away! It is simply unreasonable. When did Morente City become so chaotic, so we taught him a lesson and broke one of the kid's legs. I was about to protest to the Business Alliance, Are all the nobles you canonize like this, this is embarrassing the nobles of the Galintia continent!"
The chief executive smiled helplessly: "My lord, the Lordship system of the business alliance has just been implemented, and it is inevitable that there will be some bad things. It's just that it is useless for you to complain and protest to the alliance council now, because the Marquis of Begi Mountain is the member of the alliance council. Speaker, he won't accept it."
"Isn't there a supreme business council?" Lorist asked.
"My lord, the business council is composed of seven giants. The presidents of the seven major chambers of commerce are not currently in Morente City. They are integrating their respective chambers of commerce territories, so the current Morante City is in the hands of the Alliance Council. The other The young master of the Marquis of Jishanluo is so arrogant. He dared to openly molest you, the female family members of the foreign nobles, on the Avenue of Triumph, because his father is a hardliner to the outside world. He advocates the use of force to expand the sphere of influence of the business alliance. The nobles clashed and disputed...'
My god, I didn't expect that there would be xenophobic skinheads in the business alliance. Lorist touched his chin and looked at the crowd shouting and cursing in the square in front of the hotel: "Are those people asking you to hand us over?"
The chief steward nodded: "Yes, but please don't worry, my lord earl. Since you choose to stay at the Dawslag Hotel, we will absolutely guarantee your safety. It's just that we hope that you will not go out easily in the next few days to avoid accidents. Unexpectedly, please also pay attention to the guards of the adults, don't provoke the other party and intensify the conflict."
"Okay, then let's take a good rest here for three days. If that other marquis still refuses to give up after three days, then don't blame me for losing face." At this moment, Lorist showed his murderous intent.
