Chapter 297: The Truth (Part 1)

In the wine glass, the blood-red liquid slowly rippled on the wall of the glass.

Sly looked away from the glass. Transferred to Owenna again.

The bitterness in his tone gradually grew, and he said quietly: "Owenna, you chose the knight before, and I used to laugh at you. Now, I realize that your choice is really right. Even if you are a lady and a lady, so what, but They are just playthings and victims!"

Owenna had already vaguely thought of something, but couldn't grasp the key point.

Seeing her pondering, Sly smiled bitterly and drank the wine in one gulp: "Don't you understand?

"The evil disaster is a disaster, but it is also a rare opportunity in five or six hundred years. The evil disaster in this city has been brought under control and will be eliminated. The most important thing is to reward meritorious deeds and distribute benefits."

"It goes without saying that nobles whose entire families died, but they are a minority after all, and most of them always have heirs."

"There are only so many territories, and there is no room for new distribution. We can't let the king and lords take out the land by themselves. If this is the case, then our result has already been decided."

"Widows whose husbands have died marry meritorious ministers."

"Miss whose father died, marry a meritorious minister."

"A little noble with no strength, no achievements, no background, if he is not dead, he can have a daughter and a son-in-law, after all, he is still his own grandson, if he doesn't even have a daughter... it's either an accident or a crime, be nice to adopt A daughter, it is wise to obediently hand over the territory and title."

Owenna was dumbfounded.

These words are wise and sophisticated. Originally, she was not a woman of Sly's age and background, or a girl is better. Although she is married, she is only nineteen years old now!

Although she knew that Sly was a follower of Feline, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, and also liked to read and think, Owenna was really surprised to be able to say this, and she looked at this best friend carefully.

In the past, although Owenna didn't say anything, she always looked down on those ladies and wives in her heart.

Although the ladies maintained their chastity before marriage and gave birth to a son for their husbands (there is a divine spell to guarantee bloodline detection), once they became wives, most of them participated in the masquerade banquet. "Communicate" with different men.

Even if you are not a believer in the goddess of love, it is unavoidable, you can see this trend.

For practicing knight martial arts,

For Owenna, who wanted to become a knight, these ladies and wives who only know sex are like cats, but at this time, it may be pain, anger, or resignation, Sly's endless words And the unique and exquisite insights have completely dispelled the scorn in Owenna's heart.

What does it mean to be able to say such a thing?

It means that she has seen the situation.

But in the next step, she saw Sly's expression again—bitter, unwilling, and a little dazed.

Even if you have wisdom, at this moment, you can only wash in vain, obediently run in front of the baby, and let you choose.

"But if you want to transfer the title, why do you use this method? Wouldn't it be better to abolish and canonize it directly?"

"Hey. You don't understand, the king and the nobles would rather choose this method." After taking a sip of wine, Slaine smiled and said: "If the nobles can be abolished and canonized in this way, they will not be nobles, and it will destroy the foundation of the nobles. "

"The king may think this way. This can strengthen the royal power, but the nobles everywhere will oppose it. No matter what time, no matter what the reason, there can be no one who can kill the entire noble class—oh, except God!"

"Now, this is just a normal transfer of titles and territories through family marriage. Not only is it legal, it also enables the new nobles to receive the genealogy and connotations of the previous nobles, so as not to create a group of nouveau riche. You say they are thoughtful Inconsiderate?" Sly laughed, and said with a somewhat abnormal expression: "The crazier ones are yet to come, and they are still dissatisfied, saying that the number of men dropped sharply after the war, and in order to restore their vitality, they allowed those who have Those who are qualified to select, select two to three, to concentrate territory and resources faster and larger!"

However, even at this moment, Sly's voice was controlled and deliberately lowered. Maybe this is the self-control of the scholar lady!

"Can you choose two or three?" Owenna was really shocked this time: "Isn't this multi-marriage, how can this be?"

"Why not? Special circumstances and special treatment. The reason is very clear. Due to the need to restore the population after the war, the Kingdom and the Goddess of Love allow men to marry three wives within three years, which is considered legal, so as to quickly restore the population. , and even treat them equally, not only the aristocrats, but also ordinary people below...that's ridiculous, do you think a tenant is capable of marrying three wives?" Sly laughed, and drank the wine in his glass again.

Owenna couldn't stand it anymore, and snatched it: "Sly, stop drinking, I know you really love your husband, but..."

She didn't go on talking, because she didn't have a seizure after seeing Sly being robbed of the wine glass. After hearing this, she just covered her face suddenly. After that, tears splashed out from the gap between her palms.

at this time. She didn't forget to control her crying, either, only indistinguishable whimpers.

Owenna suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart, sore, bitter, hard to distinguish.

Perhaps, she is more pitiful for her status as a cargo!

And a few streets away, Romon was picking goods at the "Mage's House".

Since I have been here a few times and bought a large quantity, I have been noticed for a long time, so I am very popular.

This is the only magic open storefront in town. They operate spell-casting props and magic items.

"Lord Luo Meng, what do you want to buy this time?" The woman who received her last time greeted her with a smile.

This time, she put on a new robe. Although it was tightly wrapped, it showed the bumps of the female curves, and the three silver lines were clearly marked.

Luo Meng didn't know, originally, people who knew the goods went to the mage's house, so no one disturbed her, and she also dressed casually.

But after the catastrophe, many lords and knights flocked to the city, with some status but no knowledge. Seeing her beauty, they caused a lot of trouble.

Although the mage guild can be tough, not to mention the lord and jazz family, even the viscount's family can be balanced, but this is troublesome after all, so she put on the mage robe and marked her level, so naturally no one would dare to provoke her—— If you provoke them again, you will directly challenge the Mage Guild, and you can kill them.

This is equivalent to attacking a plainclothes policeman and saying that he didn't know, but attacking a policeman while wearing a police uniform has a different meaning.

"Miss Lanli, is there anything I asked for last time?"

"Master Romon, I have prepared all your requests." Female mage Lanli was very polite.

Among other things, a baron is a baron after all. If he owns hundreds of square kilometers, is a little rich, and has connections, it is possible to raise a few mages, not to mention that Romon himself is an intermediate druid.

"This is ten scrolls of fireball." Lan Li said, "It's worth three B-grade tea bricks."

When it comes to tea bricks, she can't help showing a strange look, as I said before. Magicians and priests basically don't drink alcohol, because alcohol can interfere with the spirit and cause clutter in the spirit, which is not good for practice. Even coffee has some side effects. Best seller.

Last time, the price of magic items had risen sharply. Romon couldn't afford it, and it wasn't worthwhile to exchange it with jewelry. However, it was very popular to exchange it for tea bricks, especially after the mage union found out that the tea bricks were of the highest quality.

Romon glanced slightly, felt it, and nodded. These are ten genuine magic scrolls.

"This is a copy of all the books of the Druids owned by the mage guild and library you want." Lan Li said with a smile, "It's worth eleven B-grade tea bricks."

Romon couldn't help being speechless: "I heard that the Mage Guild has transcription skills and can make perfect copies. Why is it so expensive?"

"My lord, but transcription is also a second-level spell. The cost of this spell itself is not low. Besides, the contents of these books are all original, so they are of high value. If they are copied, they are less than 30%, but you need apprentices to copy them." version?" Lan Li said with a smile.

Forget it, the apprentices themselves are not at a high level, and there may be a slight mistake in the transcription, which will completely change the magic circle symbols inside.

Seeing that Romon didn't speak any more, Lan Li raised her eyebrows and smiled again: "This is the basic alchemy tool you want. Although the range is not very wide, the quality is very high!"

Indeed, a small set of small and exquisite alchemy equipment is mainly used for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Romon nodded and asked, "How much is this set?"

"Three and a half B-grade tea bricks." Lan Li replied, a little expectation flashed in her eyes.

Romon didn't agree, he stopped at the three items first, and then looked at the magic goods on other shelves. After a while, he said, "I buy so much, you have to give a discount."

The female mage Lan Li said: "My lord, we have always been fair in buying and selling magic items, and we will not bargain...Of course, you are a big customer, so I make the decision. How about matching you with a magic scroll that protects arrows?"

"Okay then, send it to Kaduo Hotel!" Romon said depressedly: "We will deliver it when we get to the room."

In this world, there are interspatial bags and the like, but they are very rare items.

First of all, you must be a legendary mage or other legendary spell to open up a stable space, and establish a stable access channel to create space items, and you must have people who are professional in magic item manufacturing to cooperate, and the price will be gone. .

Of course, mages above level 15 can also find a natural space. The problem is that the stability and drift cannot be solved, and the space is shifting at any time. Who do you think will put things there? Are you afraid that tomorrow this space will be swept up in the warehouse and escaped victoriously? There is nowhere to cry.

The gods can regard their own kingdom of God as a source of space and establish stable access channels, but the safety of the kingdom of God is very important. This entrance and exit may be used by the enemy to destroy the kingdom of God or spy on intelligence. Defend.

So every church has this item, but it's also extremely strictly controlled.

Only the Goddess of Commerce has specially opened up a space bank that can be accessed from different places because of her priesthood, but this is only a certificate, and the space is not actually open. Very troublesome.

Therefore, Romon didn't dare to expose his Shennongjiao space anymore, even if he pretended that all he had was a space bag—it was only after he reached level eleven and then claimed that he accidentally got a legendary space bag, so that he could barely have some space. qualifications!

No matter what Luo Meng thinks, when Lan Li heard that he agreed, a look of cunning and joy flashed in her eyes. This time she personally earned half a brick of tea. She smiled: "Of course, I will deliver it to Cardo Hotel immediately." , face-to-face delivery."

"Then I'll go back and prepare first." Romon said, Kaduo Hotel is actually not far away, only 100 meters away: "Waiting for you to come over."

Romen walked back and found that the hotel was very noisy. As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in. The people at the door shrank their bodies and complained dissatisfiedly.

They didn't make a sound when they saw Romon. Even if Romon didn't reveal his identity, his clothes and equipment were already scary.

"Boss, two more glasses!" A steady and powerful voice came, followed by the friction sound of metal armor colliding. Romon looked over inadvertently, but saw a knight wearing a cape and armor.

Strange, why are there knights here?

Romon's eyes seemed to pass over the knight casually, the marks on the armor were very strange.

But this man is very handsome, with long chestnut hair, straight nose, sharp edges and corners, tight lips, with an indescribable fortitude.

The knight also raised his head at this time. He saw Romon and smiled, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes.

Being a knight, even though he is not a magician, he can still feel the natural power hovering in Romon's body.

Romon smiled slightly, stopped looking at him, and walked a few steps. If he realized something, he remembered a book he read last time—this badge seemed to be the badge of the Guardian God.

Thinking of this, Romon couldn't help laughing, what does this have to do with him?

I went upstairs, opened the door, felt it, and found that there was no movement, reached out to the box under the bed, and when I took it out, there were already twenty tea bricks inside.

Even at this time, Romon did not forget to be careful.

After finishing this, he went to the window, opened the window slightly, and stared down. Sure enough, the female mage had rushed over with the goods.

Closing the curtains, Romon smiled faintly.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Luo Meng said, a stack of seventeen tea bricks has been stacked, and there is another one, which is being cut in half with a silver knife.

As soon as Lan Li came in, she smiled.

The mage's transaction was not a good person after all, and the two exchanged the goods tacitly.

Lan Li reluctantly looked at the two and a half pieces of tea bricks left on the table, and smiled, "My lord, I hope to trade with you next time."

Romon smiled and didn't say anything. When she left, Romon opened the window again.

In the past few days, the snow for several consecutive nights has not piled up too much snow, and the roads in the streets are still smooth.

However, the raging cold wind and the creaking sound of stepping on the snow made him a little melancholy. (!)
