www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
The hall on the first floor of the tower on the right side of the castle is the throne court of Snow Dragon Castle.
At this time, Lu Ming was sitting on a lonely wooden chair. A few steps away in front of him was a long table on a high platform. Five judges on the throne were sitting in order, and Judge Gu Di was sitting second on the right.
Duke Xuelong is a spirited old man in medieval attire, sitting in the auditorium, followed by several nobles, that is, samurai, similar to the knight class in the Middle Ages in previous lives.
There are also five heirs to the judges in the gallery, some of whom are in their forties or fifties, and a child who is seven or eight years old.
Lu Ming studied the "Throne Code" yesterday and submitted a document to apply to become a trader of Snow Dragon Castle.
"Northern Continent, you can trade with us. Can you transport goods?" The Chief Throne Judge is an extremely dignified old man. Several judges are all wearing snow-white robes. Four old men, one in his thirties, Middle-aged people.
"It's an extremely long journey from the northern continent to here, and we have to avoid barbarians. It's difficult to transport a large amount of goods, but I am confident that I can get there." Lu Ming spoke and took out his windproof lighter. , said: "But such small items can be traded, and it is particularly convenient to light a fire." As he spoke, while Federo was still translating, he pressed the button and the lighter ignited a flame.
"Oh?" Several judges looked at this scene in surprise.
Duke Xuelong couldn't care less about court etiquette. He stood up and took two steps, "Mr. Lu, can I see your fire starter?"
Lu Ming handed it to him and taught him to press the button and slide to start the fire.
Duke Xuelong lit the fire several times and asked: "How many times can this fire be lit?"
Lu Ming said: "There is fuel inside. If you don't refill it with fuel, it can be ignited about 200 times." This is not the disposable lighter of the previous life, but special cotton soaked in gasoline as the fuel. , not as many times as the disposable lighter in the previous life.
Even so, Duke Xuelong was also extremely surprised. He enviously and reluctantly returned the lighter to Lu Ming. Only then did he realize that he was in court. Even as a Duke, he touched his chest slightly and bowed: "I'm sorry in court. , I am too Menglang!" After apologizing, he returned to the auditorium.
Several judges were also discussing something in whispers at this time.
Then, the chief judge said: "In view of your special status, your possession of special goods that are not available in this continent, and Judge Gu Di as your character guarantor, there is no problem in granting you the qualifications to do business in Xuelong Fort. He glanced at Lu Ming and said, "In this case, those ferocious beasts are your goods for sale. We have no power to deal with them, right?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, court. Moreover, my fifty-one sheep are just feet and have saved many of our lives. Why slaughter them out of fear? To defeat terror, we must first face it. I I feel that if the children in Snow Dragon Castle were accustomed to these sheep from an early age, they would become braver when encountering barbarian attacks."
The chief judge nodded slightly: "We understand your appeal. We will adjourn the court temporarily and announce our ruling in an hour."
Lu Ming nodded, stood up and bowed slightly while stroking his chest.
……
As expected, the Court of Throne granted Lu Ming a power of attorney as a trader in Snow Dragon Castle.
Duke Xuelong's carriage was waiting outside the court and took Lu Ming to the back of the main castle. It was a small two-story castle. From the outside, it looked like an arrow tower attached to the main castle.
The courtyard enclosed by the wooden fence is very large. It is actually a large grassy **** with a moat winding through it. There is also a red fruit tree grove with hundreds of red fruit trees. In this area, it is good to raise those A herd of fifty camel-like sheep must be fine.
"I've rented you here, and the rent is temporarily waived." Duke Xuelong said with a smile.
Lu Ming walked around and felt that it was a good sheep stable for him. "I'll bring the sheep here right now." After thinking about it, he took out the windproof lighter and said, "Your Majesty, this is for you. ! ”
Duke Xuelong was startled, "This..."
Lu Ming had already thrust the lighter into his hand.
More than half an hour later, Lu Ming brought the sheep over, and with gestures, he called the sheep to take its little friends to Lida to familiarize themselves with the new environment. This kind of goat beast has a very high IQ and will soon be able to Understand the master's meaning.
The steward of Duke Xuelong arrived soon and brought a document for Lu Ming to sign. However, it was Duke Xuelong who gave Lu Ming twenty households of serfs, five hundred red fruit trees, and this side castle. Lease, five years free.
In addition, the Duke's steward also brought two pretty and lovely maids, who were also given to Mr. Lu by Duke Xuelong.
At dusk, Judge Gudi came, bringing with him a middle-aged man named Yatagu, who was a serf under Judge Gudi’s name. He was very knowledgeable about the cultivation of red fruit tree seedlings. Judge Gudi ordered Yatagu to Signed a new contract with Lu Ming.
After doing this, Lu Ming said: "I think I should go back and take a look." He glanced at the sheep gathering leisurely on the grass **** to bask in the sun under the setting sun. Are my sheep in danger of being killed in the coming days?"
Judge Gu Di nodded: "I can guarantee this!"
……
A few days later, late at night, Lu Ming walked through the dense forest and arrived at the forest bank where he was the first to break up with several team members.
My motorcycle is no longer there.
Walking northward, at dawn, Lu Ming arrived in front of the steel fortress.
Unexpectedly, the steel fortress had been abandoned and there was no one around. However, a few ferocious beasts suddenly rushed out of it, but they quickly avoided Lu Ming and disappeared without a trace.
Lu Ming traveled north again and arrived at the glacier one day later.
The steel fortress and various bunkers here are still there.
The garrison commander is the chief dispatcher of the white blood cells.
Lu Ming was quickly brought to him.
"The headquarters has reached an agreement with the Satanists who rule the Southern Territory. We will not go further into the Southern Territory, and the Satanists will ensure that they no longer drive vicious beasts to our continent."
The chief dispatcher gets straight to the point.
"Satan?" Lu Ming still had no expression on his face.
"Didn't you see them? I thought you were released, because according to the agreement, the Satanists will return our members who are trapped in the ice and snow. The first team that was all missing was the one who was They were guided back safely, but they were caught in the ice storm and almost wiped out." The chief dispatcher looked at Lu Ming and said, "They call themselves Satanists, pronounced "Satan."
Lu Ming nodded: "I haven't seen them, what do they look like?"
"They are similar to us, but their eyes are red. They like to use goat horns as headdresses. They are very powerful and know this place well. They are very good at using various strange scenes in the ice and snow to set traps, and they are very fast. It is estimated that if we rely on aiming, it will be difficult for our bullets to hit them, unless we shoot collectively and rely on a dense rain of bullets. The headquarters believes that the southern region is too barren and has such a powerful racial rule, so there is no need to fight with them. There was a conflict. Of course, they also had a new understanding of our technological level, so they came forward to negotiate with us."
Lu Ming nodded silently, Satan? Could it be that they are the so-called royal family among the barbarians mentioned in the ancient scriptures?
Then he said: "I have been in contact with a country in the southern region and request to continue to keep in touch with them. I will record the country's intelligence in detail and ask the headquarters to evaluate whether there is a need for continued contact."
The chief dispatcher nodded: "I agree with you to submit the report."
