Lord of terror

"That sounds terrible. Well, I'll just sit here and wait for the farmers here to bring their wheat." The merchant sat back.

The peasant woman's expression was gloomy for a moment, but she finally regained her gentleness: "I was rude just now, we left, Lord Baron."

Kunz stood up and escorted the two leavers to the door—when the door was opened, the fisherman was already gone.

[Although I don't really understand the reactions of these people, I think I should warn you, don't think that what they show in front of you is really what they are in reality. 】

【I know. ] Kunz nodded sincerely [Outsiders are all untrustworthy. 】

They are outsiders to Kunz, and to them, Kunz is not an outsider.If these people had dispersed so easily, they would not have sat neatly in front of Kunz from the very beginning.With their performance now, it can only be said that the importance of Kunz has been improved again with them.

"Okay, let's all sit down. As guests, let's continue to listen to the Baron's arrangement."

The Herrscher spoke. He obviously spoke for Kunz, but Kunz felt that his tone was not right.

"Please wait a moment." Kunz standing at the door showed a polite smile. Two seconds after the peasant woman and his wife left, someone knocked gently on the door. Kunz opened the door, and Raimondo brought several servants and pandas ( Just in case it's hidden), everyone walked in with a box in their arms.

"This is a special product of our Mengluofei." A box was placed in front of every favored person present, and when the servant and the panda retreated, they also took the lid of the box - this box is very similar to a cake box, Once the lid is removed, you're left with a square, flat-bottomed tray.

"Oh!" The businessman exclaimed, "This is really...exquisite! It feels so cold and delicate, so beautiful!"

There are not many things on the tray, a small thin-necked white porcelain vase with golden patterns, the vase in front of the merchant is painted with a beautiful blond shepherdess, her blond hair is shining brightly, and the lambs she grazes also have golden hair. Golden fleece.Now this vase is held in his hand, caressing carefully.

The other followers are not as exaggerated as him, but they all like this vase.

The second item on the tray was a small glass jar filled with caster sugar.No one took this jar to look at it, not because the people present didn't pay attention, but because they knew what it was.

The third item is a thumb flip book - pinch one side to quickly turn the pages, and the picture figures on it can move.

Kunz demonstrated how to use it, fiddled with the book in front of him with the scepter, saw several villains were killed by monsters, and the escaped villains asked the lord for help, the lord fought with the monster and was seriously injured, and then there was nothing. up.He looked left and right, and the favored ones naturally exchanged the flip books in their hands.

Old knight: "Isn't the heroic knight finally defeating the monster?"

Drinker: "It's considered a knight, right? It's just the emblem on the final victor... Keeper of the Light?"

The Wandering Tailor: "Why can't there be a book about tailoring?"

"If you could provide a story, you'd have a book about tailoring," Kunz said, "Also, Lightkeeper's Tale is a series with more than 100 episodes, and we've done tens of thousands of them." A set of flip books, each set sells for three silver coins, or items of equivalent value."

The businessman exclaimed: "Although it is small, it is a coloring book, and the paintings are beautiful!"

It's just color printing. Although it is still semi-manual, it is just a small technology for Kunz, who is backed by the official Tiantuan.

"It's three silver coins, and we can supply them in unlimited quantities."

"In addition to this kind of book, can you make other books?" The favored person who spoke was wearing a black robe, with a dry and thin face, and looked a little tired. This person should be the favored person of the December God of Death (the executioner, Patron saint of doctors, funeral practitioners), undertaker.

"Yes, except for books with sexual content."

The mortician nodded: "I want you to make some books on herbs and diseases."

"About this... you can go to our bookstore of Monrophy, we have published the first edition of Monrophy's Pharmacopoeia, the first edition of "Monrophy's Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", and the first edition of "Common Disease Collection" , wait a moment, my people will bring you the book sample."

The undertaker's tired eyes lit up: "It's really... I never expected that besides my lord's believers, there would be landed nobles concentrating on researching these things! It's so exciting!"

Kunz was also quite surprised. December is the month of killing. He originally thought that the authority of the Quiet One was more about death, but there may be falsehoods in other aspects. The situation about the book he wanted should not be false.

The wandering tailor interjected: "I remember that you have already sold the exclusive rights of the paper to the emperor of the Sherfer Empire, so now you are..."

"What I sell is the exclusive right to operate paper, not books. When it comes to paper, I have to announce one more thing. For every product purchased by Meng Luofei, Meng Luofei will give a different amount of paper as a gift, but what are the details? I don't know how much the merchandise will be given away will be in the charge of Monroe's specialized commercial officials."

"Baron Monroe, I can understand that do you have any opinion on the royal family of the Sherfer Empire?" Scepter asked with a smile.

The rest of the dependents all looked at Kunz, the old knight winked exaggeratedly, and the drinker kept giving his eyes.

Kunz suddenly discovered that the favored persons of the three gods who were not interested in competing for interests had all left, and none of the remaining favored persons was absolutely friendly to Meng Luofei, let alone absolutely hostile—if it was true that Whoever is a good friend and relies on trusting each other, Meng Luofei will die.

Kunz felt trapped and suppressed by layers of nets.

"Yes, there are opinions. As low-ranking nobles, we are heavily taxed every year! Food is taken away, livestock are killed, and beautiful women and even beautiful men are handed over as slaves. But the big nobles and the royal family Never give us even a look, no, when the war starts, they will notice us, continue to increase taxes, increase corvee and military service! Dear scepter, please answer me, will I have no objection?"

After being questioned directly, Kunz returned to a gentle smile: "Unless I am a saint, I will have no objections, but unfortunately, I am just an ordinary mortal."

The drinker shook his glass and hiccupped: "I agree, which nobleman has no problem with the royal family? Or, which nobleman likes the royal family?"

The old knight laughed and searched on the table, then he raised the carved wooden teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and dropped the teacup on the ground.The teacup shattered into several pieces, and the old knight was obviously a little embarrassed now. After all, the whole process was not as heroic or domineering as he imagined, but rather hypocritical and childish.But it's already done, and it's too late to regret.

"Cough!" the old knight coughed, "That's right, drinker! Who in this world would like the royal family? Hahahaha! After all, in this world, there are many countries without emperors, and there are also many races that don't need the sun! "

The scepter threw something at the old knight's face, because the speed was too fast, so Kunz didn't see what it was until the old knight took it into his hand - a glove.

"A duel of life and death." Standing there with the scepter pressed to the table with both hands, his face was extremely ugly.

"Does what I said make you so unhappy?" The old knight was still smiling, shaking the glove, "It's fragrant and soft, like a small piece of bread, I can easily eat it with only my teeth." So, Your Majesty the Wand, are you sure you want to duel with me? Without a doubt, I will knock you to the ground and lick my shoes."

Then the two of them just disappeared!

【Where did they... go? 】

[Law space, a place that you cannot enter currently. 】

Just after Kunz finished asking, the two men had already returned.At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the two people, but the difference can be found at the second glance.The scepter changed clothes, the old knight's manly chin with blue stubble was bald, and his tattered armor seemed to be even more torn—it's hard to describe exactly how it was more torn, it's just a feeling It's getting older and dirtier.

[The two of them fought, what did they want to convey to me? 】

【have no idea.From my point of view, I think the two of them are just fighting. 】

In fact, Kunz also thought so. The old knight questioned the imperial power so much. It would be strange if the scepter didn't throw the glove. Then of course the next step was to fight.Okay, it should be fine.

Forget it, I'll ask the captain later, let's continue today's meeting first.I just took a break and brought the books. It should be that I have taken several sets of books that have been published so far. There are softcovers and hardcovers.

The mortician's hands were already trembling with excitement as he touched the cover of the illustrated book of plants. When he let go of the pages and saw the detailed plant map inside, it is no exaggeration to say that tears immediately fell down.

After turning two pages, he closed the book with a snap and stood up: "You must have doctors and botanists here. I want to go and see them, can I?"

He asked this question very humbly.

Kunz stood up immediately: "I'm very glad to have a medical and botany exchange with you."

Blue Olive came over with an interpreter, and led this one away as well.Four of the favored ones of the twelve main gods have left now.It might not be right for him to think that what he left was absolute neutrality?The one who left... had already found a point of interest in Meng Luofei?From this point of view, they are on Monroe's side?

The wandering tailor pointed to Kunz with a children's book: "Excuse me, do you have the clothes on here?"

As the guardian of the tailor, Mr. Howl, served by the wandering tailor, is of course most interested in the appearance of the clothes.Here are a few books that explain clothing tailoring. The wandering tailor opened it and glanced at it just now, but he was not interested. Instead, he was full of interest in the clothes in the fairy tale book.

Kunz looked at the fairy tale character he was pointing at.

Emmm... It is also a classic image of ancient Western times, wearing big lantern sleeves, an accordion-like folded lav collar, also known as a pleated collar, and a pair of white tights on the legs.

Kunz knew a little bit why he fell in love with this at first sight. The techniques and patterns in the tailoring book tended to be simple and neat, but the high class of this era obviously prevalent in gorgeous and complicated styles.

"Yes, you can also go and communicate with our local tailor."

"Okay, then I'll leave too." The wandering tailor smiled. The guy's behavior just now didn't look like he had good intentions for Mon Luofei.

If these favored beings are regarded as somewhat restrained gods, then their changeability is understandable.

Because they are strong enough, as long as everything looks in the direction that is beneficial to them, it doesn't matter what others think.Even if other people object and express dissent, if that blasphemous hat is put on, there will definitely not be gods, good or bad.Just like what the leaders of some countries on Blue Star do, normal people doubt whether they are adults, but they just do that, and they are arrogant.

These favored people are more unscrupulous than those leaders, and they are not elected to become favored people. They don't even need to think about the most basic public opinion, as long as they cater to their supreme god is enough.

So there is no need to dig deep into the meaning of each of their actions, as long as they do not violate the basic wishes of their gods, they can do whatever they want.People who use logical thinking to think about illogical people will only get themselves involved.

Kunz sat there, and whether these people were smiling or expressionless, even including the peasant woman who had been doing farm work in Monroe for a while, and the mortician who showed great interest in knowledge, began to make him feel terrible ——Because no matter what the appearance is, they can all be collectively referred to as a group of people in power who have no bottom line.

The more you learn about the power they wield, the more you feel their terror.

Kunz is still smiling, the captain's special training is still effective, at least he won't show his thoughts.

"You sell all these books, right?" After the wandering tailor left, the merchant took over.

"Yes."

"Then I'm going to check your bookstore. Sugar and such utensils are good products, but books are even better." Before Kunz could answer, he had already hurried out.

"It seems that on your side, it is better for us to make our own request." The paladin in black tight leather armor frowned, his appearance can be said to be "dignified".

But when Kunz looked at him, he had the urge to run away. He felt a strange revulsion and strangeness, and he couldn't describe in words what it was like.Fortunately, the captain gave him special training, otherwise Kunz might have made a fool of himself.

[Butler J, can you help me resist the mental attack? ] Butler J said that because of his personality, he is immune to the attacks of spirit and soul in this world, but maybe his ability is not a long-standing passive ability, but needs to be activated?

【Not a mental attack, just pure sexy charm. 】

【Sexy? ] This answer made Kunz difficult to understand.

[Yes, sexy, X temptation.He looks straight and handsome, but in reality, he's radiating hormones from head to toe.You will resent and resist him, and normal people will desire him.But your relationship with the captain is obviously real, that's why you resist him. 】

[Can this feeling not be erased? 】

[No, bear with it.Used to it. 】

【……】Grass!a plant.

"What is your request?"

"Here, you refuse to sell yourself?" Paladin frowned.

"Yes, that's against local law."

"But Nvchang Nvzhi is one of the oldest professions in the world. Some people give their bodies, while others get the satisfaction of their basic desires. Isn't that good?"

"Not good. Because in Monroe, you can make a living by paying ordinary labor, and people don't need to be forced to be another person's plaything."

According to his three views, love should be pure and sacred.It turns out that the god of love is also the protector of prostitutes, which is simply unreasonable.Just like the name of his favored one, who is actually called "Saint" or "Paladin", is he the god of love, or the god of mocking love?

"I think your understanding of sex is somewhat biased." The Paladin smiled, "You are a couple with the golden rose of Fanvatina, and you must have experienced the beauty of love from him. Spiritual and The fusion of the body is the whole of love, and even if the body cannot fit, then the love that only has the spirit will soon be burned out like a wick lacking lamp oil."

"I actually feel that you are secretly changing concepts." This matter can't be shaken even in the face of God. "Can the communion based on love and the selling of the body based on money be generalized? A prostitute sells his body, and a stranger's What can you get from the combination? It will definitely not be a wonderful body feast, nausea? Numbness? Or even be infected with diseases? Some people in evil realms will use more cruel means to satisfy their strange hobbies. Therefore, prostitution has Time to get disability and death.

Love is indeed the combination of body and soul, but what represents physical satisfaction is definitely not a prostitution!Since it is a sale and can be exchanged with money, it is just a kind of sadness.What they can represent is the greed and ugliness of human nature. "

"You have a beautiful and pure heart, but you should also know that different people love differently. Rich nobles can of course pursue the supreme love that combines soul and flesh. But poor people who can't fill their stomachs, Their love is to sleep in the white and beautiful chest for one night, that is their bliss." The paladin suddenly tugged, him!The leather armor on his upper body suddenly fell to the ground. His upper body was white and flawless, and his chest muscles... were so beautiful that they seemed to be treasures that had been meticulously modified and carved by an artist for an unknown number of years.

"Do you want to come and taste love with me?" The paladin opened his arms, and his clear voice was gentle and upright.

Kun Tzu frightened: "My view of love is to be loyal to my partner, so please stop this disrespectful behavior. Monroe's law will never be changed."

"It's not for sale, but it's voluntary, so it's not illegal, right?" Paladin kept smiling, "What do you think will happen if I walk out like this?"

"..." Then this game should be banned, "Then you will become the enemy of Meng Luofei, and I will stop the sacrifice to the May Goddess."

"My dear, enough is enough." This is the dancer who has been silent for a long time.He wore an exaggerated feather hat on his head, his face was painted with thick oil paint, and his clothes were also colorful. "The baron respects the girl with a flower crown and love, that's enough. Please understand the baron, This guy is that kind of character, he is eager to bring love to everyone, and he has no bad intentions."

"...I understand." No wonder!Obviously this guy is sick.

"I helped you, so I have to talk about our problem. You have entertainment here, but there is no singing and dancing?"

"There are songs and dances." Kunz said with certainty, "You saw our carnival scene when you came here last time, but we have very few professional dancers and singers here. If you or your believers want to come, We welcome it."

"That's great. In this case, my dear, we're going to go sightseeing too. You can help me choose where the opera house will open." The dancer stood up and waved to the paladin.

There is no doubt that the two men were on good terms, but it is true that a song-and-dance actor of this period was no different from a high-level prostitute.

The paladin was still naked when he left, and he gave Kunz a kind smile, which made Kunz's hair stand on end.

Two more left, and now... how many are left?

The Herrscher of Ms. Libra in January, the Old Knight of the Bloody Knight in July, the Scepter of the Sun Lord in August, and the drinker of the Grand Duke of Grape in October. There are only four old friends.

However, although the gods are half male and half half female, in the final analysis, there are still far more men than women, which is basically the proportion of high-end strong people-although it is said that ability is the first among men and women with noble status, but even if the nobles are right Women's education is also to marry another nobleman, win over allies, and give birth to stronger bloodlines.The difference in thinking determines the difference in the direction of struggle.

"Then what are the needs of the four?"

"Everything is fine here, I'm here to help you, Baron Monroffie." The drinker shook his glass, "I saw the fields you have opened up, and there is no doubt that one of them is used to grow grapes. May I have your wine?"

"I heard that the first year of planting grapes, the harvest will not be very good."

"Did you forget the golden grapes I gave you? And with me here, in your territory, the vines must grow strong, and the grapes must be sweet and delicious."

After being fooled by him last time, the drinker has now become a staunch supporter?

The Herrscher smiled, and the old knight smiled too.As a result, the eyes of the three favored persons, Jia Kunz, all focused on the scepter.

"Let your hero named 'Qin Shihuang' swear loyalty to the Sun Lord."

"Impossible." No need to go through the brain, the refusal has already been said.

His Majesty the First Emperor, the founder of China's great unification, Zulong!Even if that person is not the person, but just the aggregation of beliefs, no, just because it is not the person, but "just" the aggregation of beliefs, then this must be the most craziest monarch.Let him swear allegiance to the Sun Lord?I'm afraid it's not that I eat too many peaches.
