After watching the housekeeper Bao Rong leave, Xiaomeng tiptoed to Lin Zheng and said in a low voice: "Brother Shengun! That little princess is looking at us!"
Hearing this, Lin Zheng raised his head and looked towards the attic, and as expected, he met the little guy's eyes looking towards them. As if he didn't expect Lin Zheng to look towards her, the little guy immediately shrank back under the window.
But a few seconds later, his forehead was exposed again, and he quietly looked over at Lin Zheng and the others.
"Siegfried is really cute!" Xilu said with love in her eyes, but soon her heart ached, "It just looks like she has no energy."
Seeing the look of the guard next to him change, Lin Zheng asked casually: "The person living over there in the attic is the princess of the palace, right?"
The guard who was questioned paused for a moment, then nodded gently, and then said: "Master Siegfried, I don't dare to discuss other matters as a servant, so I ask for your understanding, Master!"
Lin Zheng smiled after hearing this, nodded slightly and said nothing more. He just led the other four people to wander around the courtyard.
So the eldest young master has a lot of benefits! If he had been in another identity, he might have been thrown out of the palace by the guards at this moment! After walking slowly under a tree in the yard, Lin Zheng said softly: "
Fit, do you know anything?"
"Yes! Sir!" After bowing slightly, Feite said: "That young lady is indeed the princess of the Yue Palace, and the toys required in the commission are indeed prepared for her!"
Hearing this, Xiaomeng asked curiously: "Since it is prepared for her, why not let her come and choose it by herself? It looks so pitiful to lock her up in such a high attic by herself!"
"This has a lot to do with the ethics of Prince Yue's palace!"
Pedantry, stubbornness, unflexible class concepts... all kinds of bad habits of the feudal aristocracy can almost be pasted on the facade of the Yue Palace. As Charlemagne guessed, this place is indeed the descendant of the original civil servant Yue Feng. As a civil servant, Yue Feng
First of all, he himself attached great importance to various feudal ethics! Although Yue Feng himself was not a pedantic civil servant, his descendants fell into the quagmire of ethics brought by his status because of his high status!
The daughter of the royal palace must be a well-educated noblewoman. Her noble temperament needs to be cultivated from an early age. Mixing with ordinary people will only tarnish the aura that a noble should have! Therefore, the princess is prohibited from going out and all outsiders are prohibited from approaching the princess! Food,
The King of Yue has decided everything for her, including clothes, supplies, teachers to teach her, and maids to serve her. Even her future marriage has been decided early. If there are no accidents, ten years later
, she will become the crown princess, and then the empress of the world.
Although it is a very ordinary feudal noble woman's life trajectory, hearing and seeing are still two different things, not to mention that the person they saw is just a little girl! Judging from the appearance, the little princess is probably only five years old.
Around the age of 18, this situation should have been the beginning of a happy childhood. However, the little person was forced to stay in the palace and accept the poison of feudal ethics. What should have been a lively and active situation has become a...
A lifeless look.
"In addition to these, the King of Yue himself also has prejudices against the little princess!"
Hearing what Feite said, Xilu immediately became angry, "He has made his daughter like this, how can he have any prejudice?!"
Lin Zheng patted Xi Lu, knowing that this silly girl was thinking about her own life experience. As an illegitimate daughter, she had rarely seen Odin since she was a child. Even when she did, Odin was just a high-ranking god king, and
He did not appear in front of her as a father. As an illegitimate daughter, Helu brought more suffering. Odin's wife Frigga disliked Helu very much. Under her influence, Helu
Since she was a child, she has not had any friends to play with her. Most of the time she plays alone, so the pile of old toys in the den have become Xilu’s treasures. Now I see the little princess’s
After experiencing this, I felt the same way, and when I heard that the King of Yue still had prejudice against the little princess, I naturally felt very uncomfortable.
Just when Lin Zheng was comforting Xi Lu, Feite continued: "After giving birth to the little princess, the princess of Yue became increasingly weak and finally passed away. This hit the king of Yue very hard, so he vented his anger on the little princess.
I have rarely met the young princess for many years. Of course, this is just the opinion of the guards. As for the truth, only the King of Yue himself knows."
"This is too much!" Xiaomeng angrily felt unfair for the little princess, "It wasn't the little princess who killed her mother, how can you offend her?!"
"Siegfried!" Xilu stared at Lin Zheng seriously, "Let's help that little princess!"
Help? Lin Zheng smiled bitterly after hearing this, "It's difficult to help."
"Why?" Xiaomeng and Xilu looked unwilling. In their eyes, Lin Zheng was omnipotent and was just helping a little guy. Why was it so difficult?
Lin Zheng sighed softly, "If you want to help, how are you going to help? Even if there is a problem with the way the King of Yue educates him, he is still the father of the little princess. Take the little princess away? Or beat the king of Yue? These things
None of them can fundamentally solve the problem!" As the head of the civil service of East Vietnam, the stubbornness that the King of Yue has developed over the years cannot be changed by a few words or a beating!
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do?" Lin Zheng said dumbfounded, "It takes a long process to change the situation of the little princess, but it is a pity that we don't have that much time, although I also feel very sorry for that little princess.
Little guy, there will always be all kinds of unsatisfactory things in the world! We can never make everything go as planned!"
Xiaomeng and Xilu looked disappointed when they heard this. Although they were disappointed, they also understood what Lin Zheng said. Many things are really not what you want them to be! Although the little princess's experience was caused by the King of Yue, she said
When it comes to the root cause, it is still because of the social system problems in this world. How can it be so simple to get rid of the shackles of feudal society!
Just when everyone was looking at each other in silence, the housekeeper Bao Rong came back. Seeing this, Lin Zheng led people to greet him. When he got closer, Bao Rong said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Siegfried."
, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time!”
"It's okay! We're not in a hurry anyway!" Lin Zheng replied with a smile on his face, "So Mr. Bao, is His Royal Highness the King of Yue satisfied with my toys?"
Hearing this, Bao Rong handed over Lin Zheng's Rubik's Cube with a look of regret on his face and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Siegfried. Although His Highness has a very high opinion of your toy, he feels that such a toy is not suitable."
Although toys for children of the princess's age can exercise their intelligence, what the princess needs is enlightenment education. If energy is wasted on toys like this, it will have a great negative impact on her future growth!"
Is your enlightenment education still 24 hours a day? Although I disagree with King Yue's views, there is really no point in arguing. So Lin Zheng took back the Rubik's Cube, shook his head and said: "That's really a pity.
I thought this toy was pretty cool!"
"It is indeed a very good toy, Mr. Siegfried!" Bao Rong said with a smile, "I can only say that it is a pity that it is not a toy suitable for my princess."
"But I don't know what specific requirements His Highness the King of Yue has for this toy? I still have quite a lot of toys. Maybe there are some that His Highness needs."
"It's a more sophisticated leisure toy that doesn't require much mental effort. If Mr. Siegfried has such a toy, please be sure to part with it. The prince has spent a lot of energy on this toy recently."
"Then I have to go back and look for it. There are so many things that I can't even remember anything."
After hearing this, Bao Rong smiled and said, "Mr. Siegfried is welcome to visit at any time!"
"Then, we won't disturb you further and say goodbye!"
"Sir, please walk slowly!"
At the gate of Yue Wang's Mansion, other people were already waiting and began to complain, especially Yang Qi and Di Lisi, who were quite dissatisfied with not being able to enter the Prince's Mansion! However, Lin Zheng and the others did not come out after going in for a while.
"It's out! It's out!" Siniang suddenly shouted happily, and everyone quickly looked towards the door, and sure enough they saw Lin Zheng and the others walking out of the palace.
Seeing that Lin Zheng and the others were not kicked out, Olier and the others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy finally didn't go crazy in the palace. At that moment, the group of people went up to greet them. When they got close, Yang Qi asked: "
How about the leader? Has the commission been completed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant standing at the door shouted loudly: "No. 108! Please invite No. 108 into the house!"
Ah——?! Yang Qi and Di Lisi immediately looked disappointed. How could they fail?!
"There's no way!" Lin Zheng spread his hands helplessly, "The requirements of King Yue are really too high. Forget it, let's try again later!" As he said that, Lin Zheng looked towards Olier and the others.
He went over and said with a smile: "For now, let's go have a drink first!"
Oriel smiled and nodded, "Okay! Let's go then! I heard that the Jinxiu Restaurant in Yuewang City has good food and wine. It's rare to meet a rich man like you, but you must not miss this opportunity!"
After hearing what Lin Zheng and Olier said, the others didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, let's leave it to Jinxiu Tower to talk about anything! At that moment, a group of people asked the local residents on the street, but nothing happened.
After a while, we arrived at the Jinxiu Building, the most luxurious building in Yuewang City. A dozen people found a large box and gathered around a table. When the food and wine were served, it looked so spectacular.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone was chatting, and then they talked about the commission from Prince Yue's Mansion. When they mentioned why Lin Zheng failed, Lin Zheng waved his hand unhappily and said: "Don't mention it! I carefully selected it.
Toy, guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Eugene finished speaking, Lin Zheng slapped the Rubik's Cube on the table, "People think this toy of mine is too brain-burning and delays children's learning!"
Xiao Mo and Liu Li stared at each other. Isn't it just a Rubik's Cube? This will delay the children's learning? Then who are those children who stare at the game all day long?
Under the curious eyes of Oriel and others, Lin Zheng demonstrated how to play the Rubik's Cube. After watching it, several people couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's a pretty good toy! I think if this toy is put into the market, it will definitely work."
Make a lot of money!”
Lin Zheng smiled when he heard this, "But King Yue thinks this thing is not good, and I can't do anything about it! However, I still have a lot of toys. Although they are all leftovers from childhood, there are still quite a lot of varieties. Looking back
Let’s look around again, maybe there will be something that someone is satisfied with, what about you?”
"Let's forget it!" Oriel shook his head, "Originally I just came here to try my luck. We will definitely not be able to meet the conditions and requirements of the Royal Palace. It's better not to stay here and waste time!"
"Leaving now?"
"Not really!" Malani held the wine glass and smiled, "We just came out of the Hunters Guild here, and accepted a very good commission from the guild. If we want to leave, we have to wait for the commission to be completed.
Say it again."
"What commission?"
"Entrusted by the church!" Oriel said, "I heard from people in the guild that the church's Holy Light Ceremony in Dongyue Kingdom will be here in Yuewang City. However, because the last batch of priests were still doing the final work in other cities,
The finishing work, so in the first few days, the church will have a certain shortage of manpower, so a commission was issued to the guild to find temporary assistants."
"Hehe! One person can earn ten Roland coins a day!" Eugene said with a smile on his face. "Although it is nothing to a young master like you, for ordinary hunters, it is quite a generous reward! Moreover,
I can also take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the people in the church. If I need help from the people in the church in the future, it might be much easier!"
"Hey——!" Lin Zheng and others looked surprised. Is it a commission from the church? After looking at each other for a moment, Lin Zheng asked: "Is there a limit to the number of people who can be commissioned?"
"What? Do you also want to accept this commission? You have to hurry up! The total number of people commissioned by the church this time is three hundred. The mission has only been released not long ago, and many hunters are attracted by the King of Yue's commission.
If you lose your attention, it will be too late when you turn around and wait for others to notice the commission!"
"No rush! We have to finish our meal no matter what. If the number of people turns out to be full, forget it. It's not a pity!"
Hearing what Lin Zheng said, Oriel and the others nodded slightly. It's true! For a young master like Siegfried, this kind of commission is indeed dispensable, and they don't really live on that commission.
Yes, he didn't care at the moment. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Here! Cheers!"
After accompanying Oriel and others to eat and drink, the group rushed to the Hunter Guild in Yuewang City together. They came at the right time. There were already more than 270 people who had accepted the commission. If it had been a little later,
, the remaining twenty or so places are gone!
Just when Lin Zheng and others got the execution order, noisy shouts came from outside the guild. After listening carefully, it turned out that it was the church team that set out behind them and finally arrived at Yuewang City.
After going out and watching the excitement, Olier said to Lin Zheng: "Let's go Siegfried, let's go to the church and wait for instructions!"
"Oh! Okay, let's go now!" After saying that, Lin Zheng withdrew his eyes from the aristocratic group welcoming the church, and a burst of curiosity emerged in his heart. In the aristocratic welcoming group, Lin Zheng did not
I didn't see anyone like the prince. It is said that Jibril is the object of faith in all regions and countries except Akitsu. When the cardinal of the church comes with the descendant, the local gentry should come out to welcome him, let alone
The King of Yue is such a powerful person in the East Yue Kingdom! However, I didn’t see it!
Thinking that the church would regard the City of Yue King as the last stop of the East Yue Kingdom, Lin Zheng couldn't help but ponder for a while. It seems that this sequence may have a lot to do with the King of Yue. He just doesn't know what role the King of Yue is playing here.
What kind of role.
With a lot of questions, Lin Zheng and his party followed Olier and the others to the church in Yuewang City. When he saw the church for the first time, Lin Zheng was stunned. In a city full of oriental style,
Suddenly I saw a church with a strong Western style. The incongruity was really hard to react to.
It wasn't just Lin Zheng who was stunned. Oriel and the others who saw Yue Wangcheng Church for the first time also murmured, but they still had to work!
In the small square of the church, a church knight was organizing a group of people with different equipment. It seemed that that was where they were going to report. Seeing this, Lin Zheng and his party sped up and trotted to the church square.
.
The church knight checked the execution orders of the two teams, and then counted the number of people. Seeing that the number of clients was almost the same, he said seriously: "Hello fellow hunters, I am very happy to see you all here! Time is short,
The personnel from the church headquarters will arrive at the church soon. Here, I will keep the story short and give you a brief introduction to your tasks for the next three days!"
The content of the mission is quite simple, and the church does not expect a group of lax hunters to be of much help. Therefore, all the hunters who accept the commission need is simple patrolling and guarding work. Although the hunters do not have the discipline of regular troops, they
Hunters who often hover on the edge of crisis are very vigilant. When there are not enough manpower, it is really suitable for hunters to serve as patrol guards!
Except for Lin Zheng and the others, all the hunters felt that this commission was quite simple, and they could easily get a Roland coin every day. With this kind of commission, I really wish I could do it for a few more days! It's a pity, it's only three days!
While others were feeling sorry, Lin Zheng and others were looking at each other. The shortage of manpower was a joke. They had only seen the church's troops before they came. That number was enough to capture a small city. Is this called insufficient manpower?
?!
"Just wait and see what happens!" Lin Zheng said in a low voice. No matter what that guy Bolen wants to do, now that they and their group have sneaked into that guy's side, no matter how many tricks that guy has, they will definitely see through them in the end.
