Chapter 619: A city with an inch of land and an inch of gold
The warm welcome of the Nuer people made Ryan and his party very proud, because maybe even if Karl Franz came in person, the proud Nuer people might not put on such a grand welcome ceremony and such a big battle.
, even the newly promoted Alfred felt good about himself, and Ryan, who was standing with Amelia, couldn't help but feel a little proud. He held little Frederick, and his son stood upright proudly as well.
chest.
The authorities were confused. At this time, Sulia, who was holding little Devon Hill in her arms, smiled and shook her head. The female knight understood everything clearly.
Actually Emilia played a little trick.
She took the child and appeared with Ryan. In this case, Noor must also show the highest level of courtesy and welcome to welcome their Baroness and the heir of the Baroness, and took Ryan with her by the way.
So does Noor really welcome Ryan?
Lidya Su only sneered in response.
But something Sulia didn't expect happened. Amelia immediately sent little Frederick into Ryan's hands, and then hugged Sulia very enthusiastically, with a bright smile on her face, which made her
Together with herself, she accepted the cheers of the people in her territory. The citizens of Nuer cheered louder and louder: "Sister Sulia, do you like it?"
"Emilia...thank you." Sulia could only show a slightly embarrassed but polite smile, hugged little Devon Hill and accepted the cheers of the people with Emilia.
Nuer Grand Marshal Erstein strode out. He saluted the Imperial Lady, followed by a group of Nuer nobles. Each of these nobles was wearing a sharp long sword and a standard fire gun.
, Marshal Noor, who had a big brown beard on his face, came to Emilia: "Your beloved Baroness, welcome back to your loyal Noor."
"Earl, is there anything going on in the city while I'm away?" Amelia asked easily.
"Nothing major happened in the city, but it is worth mentioning that the famous murder case in Braunschweig, that is, the massacre of the von Lack family, also affected the city." Grand Marshal Noor Ersch
Taiyin faced the inquiry of the Imperial Lady
Not daring to be negligent, he immediately replied: "Baron Werner and his heirs both died in that disaster. Now the descendants of the Luck family are fighting endlessly for the position of the head of the family and the inheritance of the family mansion. Everyone is
Awaiting your judgment."
"I will give a fair judgment." Emilia said skillfully: "But I don't know anything about the situation at the moment. I must understand the process and result of the matter."
"Of course!" Erstein nodded, finishing his report.
"My Baroness, in a few days it will be the birth anniversary of His Excellency the Savior Ludwig." At this time, a righteous bishop wearing a black priest's robe and holding a golden griffon and a double-tailed comet scepter appeared.
Walking up, he had a big bald head and looked quite old: "We hope you can host it."
Casmir IX, one of the two great chanters of the Church of Justice, is also the head of the Church of Justice in Nuer. He is extremely powerful in this city. Even Emilia, a baroness, must consider
His opinion: "Of course, I will."
"My Baroness..." Various nobles and church personnel came over one after another and expressed their requests to Emilia. Ryan's embrace of little Frederick seemed to be ignored, and he himself did not
He didn't think so, but he was teasing his son.
"Look, Dad, Mom is always like this, she doesn't play with me~" Little Frederick was very sensible, he shrugged in a decent manner: "And those uncles in black, they don't play with me either, or
Hello Brunswick, Godfather, Teacher Geert, Grandpa Ludwig, they will play with me~"
"I want to play, I want to play~" Little Devon Hill also stretched out his two little hands and struggled in his mother's arms: "I want to play with Amy Donkey!"
"Ami Bunny!"
"Ami donkey!"
The quarrel between the two children made the nobles present not only smile. At this time, Justice Noor and Noor's champion Theodor Bruckner also came up: "Welcome to Noor, Your Excellency Lane."
"Hello, Theodore." Lane met Justice Noor. He held little Frederick who was climbing up and down in his arms and nodded, which was regarded as saying hello to Justice Noor.
"Okay, let's go in." Emilia finished handling the matters at hand, and she immediately motioned for everyone to enter the city. It could be seen that she was a little impatient with these things, but as the ruler of Nuer, she had to complete a series of things
.
The large group of people slowly drove into the city.
If the impression that Brunswick brought to Ryan was that of crowding and noise, the magnificence and chaos that combined all the characteristics of human beings, and a glorious and magnificent picture of virtues and vices under countless chaos and sentient beings,
Then Noor is a brilliant diamond cut extremely neatly.
The streets and buildings of the entire city are like a neat chessboard. Under the design of the planning and design masters of Nuer University, Nuer, the imperial gem, has long been perfectly regulated to the extreme by the power of order, with clean, neat and straight streets.
, street lamps and flower gardens, buildings of basically the same height and height, prosperous streets, and bright colors highlight the prosperity and vitality of the city.
Likewise, the entire city was filled with black smoke. The Nuer Military Factory was operating at full capacity, producing a large amount of military supplies. This caused the scenery of the entire city that should have been bathed in the sun to be obscured by thick smoke, and the entire city was enveloped by a wave of smoke.
Shrouded in acrid smoke. Ashes fell from the sky like raindrops from time to time.
Noor is a model of order, which not only shows all the beauties of order, but also shows the necessary evils of order.
Many dwarf craftsmen settled here and took advantage of the convenience of the Reik River to open foundries, because the oak barges on the river brought a steady stream of ore and coal. At the same time, Nur is also the main temple and headquarters of the goddess of justice, Valena.
"I would rather have a bed in Nuer than a house in Wesen." Riding on the pure-blood elf war horse Putao, Ryan smiled and said a sentence that has been popular in Nuer for hundreds of years. The Duke turned towards his wife
Blinking her eyes: "Sulia, guess how much gold crown this house on our roadside is worth?"
"...Five hundred gold crowns?" Sulia hugged her son, and the female knight gave an answer casually. Ryan could see that she was a little unhappy because Emilia had set her up, so she also spoke to her intentionally.
.
Five hundred gold crowns is enough to buy a nice two-story house in the capital of Britannia.
"No, guess again." Ryan still smiled and said, "It's too low."
"A thousand?" Lidya Su frowned.
"Two thousand five hundred gold crowns." Ryan laughed loudly. He pointed to a two-story house with a small courtyard on the street and said: "It's a two-story house like this, with 4-5 people inside.
A room and a small courtyard cost 2,500 gold crowns in Nuer. Based on the annual salary of a craftsman of fifty gold crowns, he would have to save up five hundred years of salary without eating or drinking to be able to live in Nuer.
Nour buys a house.”
"...Is the land price in this place so high?" Sulia was a little stunned when she heard this. The female knight thought that if she calculated it this way, Angron's gift of 10,000 gold crowns to her was actually only enough to buy four houses in Nuer?
"Yes, this is Nuer." Ryan nodded repeatedly, and he smiled even more happily: "And Nuer is not like Brunswick, where everyone is welcome to enter. There are only two ways to live in Nuer.
One is to find a way to buy a house in Noor, but like I said, that is a task that will take more than a lifetime for many people."
"The second way is to rent a house, apply for a temporary residence permit, and live in Nuer. Even for a small room, the annual rent is about 10-15 gold crowns, but this is the price you have to pay to stay in Nuer."
"Even though the land prices in this city are terrifyingly high and the rents are ridiculously expensive, there are still countless young people who come here every year to look for opportunities." Alfred also said with a wry smile, the newly appointed Patriarch of Freya Ancient Cathedral District and
The Knight Commander of the Knights Templar thought that even with his own salary, it would take several years to buy a house like this in Noor without food or drink. Not only was he a little ashamed, he thought that he had already gotten to this point, but it was still so difficult.
.
"Hey, Afu, if you had an apartment in Nuer, you wouldn't have been so troublesome at the Magritte State Guesthouse." Ryan thought of something and smiled playfully: "I want to marry a nobleman from Nuer.
Miss, it’s impossible not to have an apartment! His Excellency Patriarch Alfred?”
"Can't have an apartment? What do you mean?" Ingrid, a female Norscan, obviously didn't understand. She yelled: "Why buy such an expensive thing? It can't make you stronger. Just have a place to sleep."
?”
"Hahahaha~" Ryan laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.
"Why are you laughing!" Ingrid became a little angry. She knew that she was no match for Ryan, so she could only glare.
"This is Nuer's condition." At this time, the Imperial Countess Emilia, who had taken care of all the matters, spoke up. She laughed heartily: "Maybe for you Norscans, it's enough to have a place to sleep.
But to the Nuer people, and even to humans in the entire Old World, houses
If it is not their own, they will not be able to sleep soundly, or at least not soundly enough. They would rather spend decades and more than two generations of accumulation to acquire a house, rather than use the money to enjoy... Earl
Stein, tell them, how much is your house worth?"
"My house is located in a corner of the inner city of Nuer. It covers an area of about one acre. It has fifteen rooms, a stable and a courtyard. It is valued at about 23,000 gold marks." Marshal of Nuer Earlstey
Because he replied respectfully: "But I
I would like to correct a small mistake by Her Majesty the Baroness. I did not buy my house. I obtained the ownership of the land through military exploits. I gathered people to build it myself. We all agree that the house built is better to live in than the house bought.
It’s much more comfortable.”
"Twenty-three thousand gold marks..." Except for Ryan himself, everyone in his team felt embarrassed.
But this is Nuer, and every inch of land is precious.
Across the Rick Bridge that spans the entire Nuer city, and beyond the shanty town, is the Temple University District, where many ancient famous schools in the empire are concentrated. Nuer, the academic center of the entire empire, was also built here, as well as Nuer Military Factory and Nuer
The School of Guns and Guns, and the temples of the gods of the old world were also established here, and
Braunschweig also has a large zoo and a large wizarding guild like the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy. It can be said that this city is fully equipped as a capital. If Karl Franz wanted to, he would do it tomorrow.
You can move your office to Nuer, but of course the premise is that Nuer's mistress agrees.
After the Temple University District, in the northeastern corner of the city, lies the rich area. Nuer's great nobles, generals, mage leaders and the city council are all located here. After the city council is Emilia's elector.
The Marquis Palace, Emilia's palace has more than a hundred rooms, with independent walls, bell towers, and towers.
Ryan and others naturally stayed at the Elector's Palace.
The large room, luxurious wooden floors, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, various decorative sculptures and expensive oil paintings, Ryan leaned back on the soft sofa chair with some relaxation: "It's so luxurious, my Duke's Castle can't compare to this place.
, Amelia lives in a really nice place.”
As soon as Devonshire and Frederick entered the palace, they ran to play together. Little Frederick said he wanted to show little Devonshire his treasure, leaving the space for the two adults.
"What? If you want to, I think Amelia would like you to move here permanently." Sulia sat opposite Ryan, and the female knight said with a half-smile: "At that time, I can only talk to you.
Devon Hill, mother and son, depended on each other for life, and then missed his cruel father together."
"Lidya Su!" Ryan was amused. He shook his head repeatedly: "Do you think I am someone who would do such a thing?"
"Who knows?" The female knight shrugged meaningfully. She wanted to say something else, but Ryan approached with a smirk, picked her up by the waist, and put her on his lap: "You are jealous, my
lady."
"I didn't." Lidya Su blushed and looked away.
"You are still jealous." Ryan smiled and reached out to brush her long golden curly hair, hugged her in his arms, and deeply inhaled the fragrance of her hair.
"She has an entire city, an entire province, tens of thousands of troops, and wealth whose value is simply inestimable." The female knight finally sighed softly, leaning on her husband's chest: "She has this
How much gold crown is a palace worth? Can you estimate it?"
"The palace has a price, my lady, you are priceless." Ryan rolled his eyes and said affectionately: "No matter how good a palace is, it can't compare to you and Devon Hill, where you are.
, is my home, and that is just my house, this is different!"
"Lian~" Sulia's face turned red, and she stretched out her hand to twist Ryan's waist angrily: "When did you learn these words to coax women? Why are you like the jesters in the noble court?"
"This is not to coax you, this is a true confession." Ryan kissed his wife gently on the mouth, and suddenly became interested: "My wife, while Amelia was busy, the two children were together again.
Come on, let’s go shopping together?”
"Why are we going shopping?" Lidya Su also became interested.
"Walking around, by the way... let's also check out the Von Luck family's mansion and see if we can find any clues about the Carmelite Association?"
