Chapter 53 A sumptuous dinner (4K+)
At night, Luo Mo ordered his people to prepare a sumptuous dinner to entertain the arriving nobles.
In accordance with normal social practice, Luomo arranged for some maids to come out to sing and dance.
These maids were given to Luo Mo by other nobles in the past few days. They have been trained in advance. They dance very gracefully and are full of charm with every smile.
However, Baron Ian's attention had already been on Pei Bona, and he frequently chatted with her. In this regard, Pei Bona seemed a little indifferent, and her eyes glanced in the direction of Luo Mo from time to time.
Viscount Ordolf was old and was not good at this, so he tasted the delicacies of Sardin Manor there.
The chefs at the manor have been guided by Romo's modern gourmet thinking. The frying and cooking are varied and compatible with the characteristics of the traditional food of the Volo Valley. Viscount Ordolf enjoyed the meal and praised him repeatedly. .
Lomo sat with Job and Eliot, talking quietly to them.
"You two brought these three customers for me, I don't know how to thank you two?" Luo Mo thanked you.
Job knew that Romo was talking to him about the commission, so he said: "Lord Saldin, please don't be too polite. Thank you." "
Since we are friends, just call me Romo. "Lomo said with a smile.
Job was overjoyed. It seemed that Lord Saldin regarded him as one of his own, so he said: "Elliot used to sell potions and medicines for you, and he got 40 to 50% of the profits, but that was sales. Now that Mr. Lomo has a license and is free to buy and sell, he can no longer divide it like this. According to convention, as an intermediary, we only need to take a commission of 5 points." Lomo
slightly After thinking for a moment, he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Job, like Mr. Elliot, is indeed a kind man. Just do it your way."
Job looked around and leaned towards Lomo. Minato said softly: "Mr. Lomo, the purpose of my visit this time is to facilitate the transaction. The main purpose is to invite you to join the reserve camp of our City Hall Knights." "Preparatory camp?" Lomo thought about it
. After a while, he said: "But the reserve camp where Earl Martin was the battalion officer at that time?"
"Yes." Job nodded and said: "The current battalion officer is the second-level mage Viscount Sally Alex. He was promoted by Earl Martin. After Earl Martin left, he recommended him to serve as the battalion officer of the reserve battalion." "
Viscount Alex means that you will serve as the knight captain of the seventh detachment of the reserve battalion, with a stable income of two hundred gold coins every month. Supply, or convert them into corresponding magic materials. I will give you two shops in Volo City and Black Rock City, with all commercial taxes exempted." "
Yeah" Luo Mo pondered. It seems that Job came here today to make him stand in line. Coming.
He now has some understanding of the knights in the city hall.
There are four battalions in the entire Order. They are the Guards Battalion, the First Battalion, the Second Battalion and the Reserve Battalion.
Among them, the Guards Battalion is responsible for guarding the City Hall, and most of them are direct descendants of Mayor Washington Malcolm.
Their battalion has the largest number of people, and also includes some functional departments, such as the security team, escort team, and inspection team. However, these functional departments are not all aligned with the city hall represented by the mayor.
For example, the security captain Job and Sheriff Elliot in front of them are obviously close to the reserve camp. Maybe it was the relationship with old Martin.
The first and second camps are nursing homes for traditional nobles in the Woro Valley. They are filled with a large number of noble children and servants who are loyal to these nobles.
As traditional combat camps, these two battalions receive the most salaries and resources. There are those who live on free wages, those who do business, and those who develop private armed forces. There are many factions, dragons and snakes mixed together.
Although these two battalions are combat camps, they are almost useless to the city hall. Because the city hall can't direct them at all.
Mayor Washington Malcolm served as an airborne officer sent by the kingdom, and the old nobles served as natives of the Volo Valley. Every force has a backer in the royal city, as well as a network of kinship and interest relationships that are constantly involved.
From princes and ministers to local natives, everyone is rooted in the land of the Woro Valley, sucking in the wealth created by the serfs who farm, the miners who dig, and the coolies who work.
Both forces want a piece of the cake in the Volo Valley, and conflicts and contradictions have existed since ancient times.
However, these conflicts did not rise to the surface. After all, the kingdom still sends inspectors every year to conduct assessments and inspections. Maintaining apparent peace and stability in the Woro Valley is vital.
The reserve camp is a new force developed by Count Martin in recent years. Old Martin's desire to create such a force is also very simple, that is, to deal with the various turmoil and chaos caused by the attack of the evil orc army in the north.
As a new force in the reserve camp, Mayor Washington Malcolm is happy to see its success. Because he cannot command the traditional war camps filled with noble children, there is such a military group that can resist invasion and quell chaos at critical moments.
Maintaining local stability is closely related to his political achievements.
Although the reserve battalion will also take part from his vested interests, he can also use this to apply for additional military subsidies from the kingdom. After all, the threat of the evil orcs is approaching day by day. This kind of additional application is reasonable and legal, and it can also show that he is thoughtful and concerned about political affairs.
The old nobles also allowed the existence of the reserve camp. The reason is simple. They have regarded the first and second camps as their private property. Once the evil orcs attack, who will use private property to fight?
At that time, there will be such a preparation camp in front. If you win, the credit belongs to everyone; if you lose, you can go elsewhere with your private armies and still continue to be a noble lord.
To be fair, if Count Martin hadn't made too many moves and infringed on their interests too much, they wouldn't have joined forces to drive away Old Martin.
Luo Mo thought about the pros and cons and thought that joining the reserve camp would be a good choice.
At least the business tax is exempted, and I can steadily earn 200 gold coins every month, so I still have someone to rely on. The key is that some special magic products can be obtained through this channel.
As for the inevitable participation in war in the future, Luo Mo is not too worried.
After all, the evil orcs haven't attacked yet, and the legs are growing on him. Luo Mo did not have the consciousness to be loyal to the royal family and to be loyal to the country.
Of course, compared with the immediate benefits, these are nothing.
I'm afraid that after joining the preparatory camp, there will be more tedious things and unnecessary troubles.
Sensing Lomo's concerns, Job continued: "Viscount Alex specifically told me that if you agree to be the knight captain of the seventh detachment, I can hand over the selection of all the knights of the seventh detachment to you, and you will also There is no need to go to Volo City every day, just stay in your own territory and train." Hearing
this, I felt happy. This is a very comfortable way to let myself go.
"How many people are there in the seventh detachment now?" Lomo asked.
"There are a total of twenty-five troops, but you are the only one now."
Luo Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "I can choose from the combined troops at will?"
"Yes." Job nodded and said: "Each knight has a salary of 3 gold coins a month, totaling 75. Of course, it is not included in the previous 200 gold coins." Luo Mo was a little shocked, personnel appointments,
salaries Gold, training, all in his own hands. Isn't Viscount Alex afraid that the 7th detachment will become his own personal armed force?
Luo Mo was silent for a moment and asked softly: "Why does Viscount Alex trust me so much?"
Job smiled and said: "These are military pay from the royal family. To be honest, it was originally a larger number. After going from top to bottom After being exploited at all levels, you only have 275 gold coins in your hands. Instead of giving the gold coins to other nobles to squander on food, drink, whoring and gambling, it is better to leave them to you to train knights." Luo Mo nodded slightly, and came from his time traveling
. From what I understand, the Kingdom of Clay is indeed in a state of ruin.
Otherwise, the Battle of Qiutang, whose combat power was several times that of the enemy, would not have ended like that.
"As for why the Viscount trusts you, I'm not sure." Job continued: "Maybe it's because you are the youngest French knight in the Volo Valley, or maybe it's because of Count Martin." "Count Martin
said What did you say?" Luo Mo asked subconsciously.
Job said in a deep voice: "He said that you have good intentions and that you are the nobleman who loves the people the most like a son in the Volo Valley. Based on this, when the evil orcs arrive, you will never allow these beasts to invade your home."
Luo Mo felt a little emotional in his heart. He didn't expect that Earl Martin had been gone for so long and he could still take care of him.
"Okay! I accept Viscount Alex's invitation! Convey my gratitude to Viscount Alex for me." Lomo said solemnly.
"Okay, I will convey it to my father." Job said happily immediately.
Luo Mo was stunned again and asked: "Is Viscount Alex your father?"
"Haha, yes." Job smiled and stretched out his hand: "I hope we have a happy cooperation in the future!"
"Happy cooperation!" Luo Mo also said Stretch out your hand and hold it tightly with Job.
At this time, Elliot also stretched out a hand and said softly: "How about you shake it with me too, otherwise it will appear that I have no sense of participation."
Romo smiled slightly and was about to shake his hand. , but saw another slender and white hand stretched out.
Looking up, he saw Pei Bona coming to his side.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?" Pei Bona smiled charmingly and said to Luo Mo, "Can I dance with the young lord?" "Of course
." Luo Mo said with a smile.
The two walked onto the dance floor together, and Luomo saw that Baron Ian was already hugging a maid and dancing happily.
Elliot and Job also entered the dance floor, each choosing his own partner.
Luo Mo naturally hugged Pei Bona's slender waist, feeling her soft skin and seductive perfume, and he began to become a little distracted.
After all, this is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen since time travel.
Pei Bona puffed up her chest, slowly approached Luo Mo, panted slightly in his ear, and whispered: "I didn't expect that Lord Saldin could be so powerful."
Luo Mo only felt that his ears were itchy and warm, and he was a little unable to resist.
So good at flirting?
Are all aristocratic girls so enthusiastic? It's really unreasonable not to respond.
He couldn't help but use his hands to fully support Pei Bona's slender waist. His fingertips trembled slightly to fully feel her delicate skin.
Feeling Luo Mo's bold provocation, Pei Bona smiled and said: "I wonder how the lord usually practices? Is there any secret to being promoted to a first-level elemental magic knight at such a young age?" Luo Mo heard this
, His initially turbulent heart immediately calmed down. It turned out that this woman was here to inquire about his practice methods.
Since he came with a purpose, he instantly felt that the woman in his arms was not so attractive.
Luo Mo did not intend to answer this question, and indeed had no answer. You can't tell her that you're wrong.
"Ms. Pei Bona, you are exaggerating. I am just following the instructions given by my ancestors and training honestly." Luo Mo replied.
"Then what is the guidance given by your ancestors?" Pei Bona asked again.
Luo Mo replied in a deep voice: "It's just a few simple secrets."
When Pei Bona heard that there was a secret to cultivation, she immediately became very interested.
"What's the secret? Lord, can you tell me generously?"
When she said this, her chest was almost pressed against Luo Mo's body. If Luo Mo lowers his head, he can almost take in all the spring scenery and have an unobstructed view.
"Although this formula is simple, it is very effective. That is: go to bed early and get up early, be strict with yourself. Work hard and seize the day!" When
Pei Bona heard this nonsense, she was suddenly disappointed, rolled her eyes and said, "Little Although Luo Mo's words make sense, his eyes and hands are a bit irregular. I won't dance with you."
After saying that, she let go of Luo Mo's shoulders, smiled charmingly at him, and Shi Shiran left the dance floor and returned to herself. seats.
Luo Mo lost his dance partner and silently walked off the dance floor. This woman, when she is happy, calls herself Lord Lord, but when she is angry, she calls herself Little Lomo.
Where am I young?
Viscount Ordolf was tasting the braised elbow. When he saw Pei Bona coming over, he was a little confused and asked: "Why didn't you dance with Saldin?" "
This guy is very cunning, I didn't ask." Pei Bona took a sip of wine and was a little confused. said depressedly.
Viscount Ordolf laughed and said: "You are too impatient. Do you really think he is a frivolous young man who is ignorant of the world?"
Then he put an elbow on Pei Bona's plate with a fork and said: "The future is long, don't Urgent. Try this first. I have never tasted such delicious pork, and I don’t know how it is made."
Pei Bona snorted, her big blue eyes staring angrily at the elbow in front of her, fiercely He picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.
"Yes, it is indeed delicious. Damn boy Sardin, no wonder he has such strong muscles."
Pei Bona puffed her mouth and said vaguely.
In the midst of the banquet, the dinner finally came to an end.
Lomo personally escorted the guests into the guest room and then returned to his bedroom.
Two young maids made a bowl of vegetable soup for Romo, and then helped him make the bed.
After Luo Mo drank the soup, he washed up and went to bed with the help of the maid.
The younger maid turned and left, but the other maid sat beside Luo Mo's bed.
"Sir, let me help you undress." The maid said softly.
"Yeah," Luo Mo said vaguely. He had drank some wine tonight and was indeed a little tired at this time.
Luo Mo felt very comfortable as he felt the maid's gentle and delicate hands taking off all his clothes. He half-opened his eyes and saw that after the maid finished taking off his clothes, she continued to take off her own clothes.
"Um?"
Luo Mo was aroused by Pei Bona tonight. Looking at the snow-white skin exposed after the maid's clothes were removed, he couldn't take his eyes away.
The maid's pretty cheeks were flushed, and she said softly: "Sir, the last time you wanted me, I happened to be inconvenient. Today, I... I am willing to dedicate it to you!" As she said that, the maid lifted up Luo Mo's quilt
. , the hot body got in at once.
