Chapter 548: The Prince Arrives
The next day, the Consulate of Danyu City was very busy, and the messenger of the Death Legion visited Gome last night, saying that someone was coming to discuss the next matter with him today.
In the same way as taking over the city defense, the style of the Death Legion is completely different from the previous Guards Legion, Bolton came up to be vigorous and resolute, and the movement was very large, but Chino was gentle, leading people to eat and drink in the camp, like a tourist, and he didn't know what he was doing secretly.
Now that the Death Legion was suddenly about to visit, and he didn't know whether the comer was good or not, Gome didn't dare to slack off, and summoned the remaining eight officials and the noble representative Du Mingwei into the mansion and waited for the people from the Death Legion to come to the door.
The large conference room of the mansion has been cleaned up, and in order to show the appearance of poverty, there is not even tea and snacks on the table, which looks very shabby.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with different expressions and thoughts.
At noon, the guards hurriedly walked through the door: "Ladies and gentlemen, the people of the Death Legion have arrived. ”
As soon as the words fell, a man with a ruffian face swaggered in, holding a handful of raisins brought from the camp in his hand, and making a sound while eating, and wiped the sugar stains on his hands directly on his pants, how rough and rough it was.
The officials of Danyu City were directly stupid, what is the situation? How did the Death Legion send such a person to talk about things?
Before they could ask, the ruffian man straightened up and bowed to the door: "My lord." ”
A uniformed, extraordinary-looking man walked in through the door, none other than none other than Chino's number one celebrity, the steward of the Twilight Caravan, Paladin.
Only then did the officials of Danyu City realize that the person who behaved rudely just now was just the first person, and the latter person was the one who talked about things.
Although Paladin's official position is lower than that of everyone here, he is still the number one celebrity under Chino's account, and he is fully qualified to treat them with courtesy.
Gomex stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome, Mr. Paladin, sit down and talk." ”
Paladin ignored Gome, also stood aside and bowed to the door: "Your Excellency." ”
Chino slowly walked in from the door, with no expression on his face, and his majesty as the commander of the Death Legion was natural, and he overwhelmed the audience in an instant.
Chino and Gomex are both consuls of directly governed cities, and theoretically belong to the same rank, but Chino commands a legion alone, and this time he has a royal decree in his body, and his status is no longer comparable to Gome.
Gomez didn't expect Chino to give such face, and actually came to visit in person, he was sincerely afraid to meet him, and said humbly: "Lord Chino, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to come in person... I was supposed to greet you at the door... Please forgive me for being sloppy! ”
Chino didn't speak to Gome, he stood next to Paladin and Lugo, and bowed to the door: "Your Excellency." ”
Everyone was stunned, what a situation! And adults???
"Click, click, click...", crisp but steady footsteps sounded, and the slender figure slowly walked in from outside the door, the long fiery red hair swayed gently with the rhythm of the steps, like a burning flame, and the red eyes with condescending pride included everyone in the pupils, but they were not looking at anyone.
"Miss Lona?!" Gomez had seen Lorna before and never thought she would be here.
There was no anger or smile on Lorna's face, only a kind of indifference as a superior person, and all the officials who walked through consciously stood up, and she was also unceremonious, and sat directly in the main seat belonging to Gome, as if this position was originally hers.
Lorna was still holding a little wild cat that came out of nowhere, her slender fingers gently smoothed its hair, and the kitten felt the faint dragon power brought by the dragon blood in Lorna's body, and she didn't dare to move with her eyes wide open, lying on Lorna's lap like a statue, letting her rub it.
There was silence in the conference room, and Lorna looked up at everyone, and her tone was unwavering: "Why are you all standing?" ”
The crowd hurried to find a good seat for themselves to sit down, and the most honorable position on Lorna's left and right was undoubtedly given to Chino and Gome.
Lorna touched the cat and said lightly, "Long time no see, Archon Gome. ”
"yes, long time no see! It's been 4 years since Miss Lorna's 12th birthday, and I miss it so much! Gome rubbed his hands, smiled kindly, and asked flatteringly, "Is Lord Ling Zunstin okay lately?" ”
The atmosphere became solemn, dragon blood lines appeared in Lorna's crimson eyes, and her deep voice was filled with faint dragon might: "My friend, why are you so disrespectful to me? ”
Gome was frightened by Long Wei and asked at a loss, "Miss Lorna?" ”
Lorna looked cold and arrogant, caressed the cat's fur, and said expressionlessly: "You and I have known each other four years ago, and we are old acquaintances, but you always treat me as a child." ”
"I know that after that year, you have a good status in Danyu City, your reputation is prominent, and you don't need a friend who is dozens of years younger than you, but I have always thought that I have more or less status in your heart."
"The result? Now that you and I have been reunited after a long absence, you don't care about my life for the past 4 years, you don't care why I'm here, and you ask, 'Is Lord Ling Zunstin okay lately?', and you don't have any respect for me. ”
"You don't even want to call me Prince."
Gomez was shocked, and a hundred words of "good fellow" welled up in his heart, remembering that when she went to Cold Valley four years ago, Lorna was a complete wild child, playing crazy outside all day long, laughing silly and silly, and having mud on her face during the birthday party.
As a result, she hasn't seen her for 4 years, and she has completely changed as a person.
Expressionless but not angry and arrogant, indifferent but full of oppressive conversation, obviously discussing major matters but leisurely touching the cat, elegance and majesty coexist, the indifference and arrogance of the superior are overflowing, the "Dragon Queen" is no more than like this!
Gome hurriedly stood up, bent his waist to a standard ninety degrees, and said to Lorna, "Your Royal Highness..."
Lorna nodded, lowered the cat to the ground and let it escape, then motioned for Gomez to sit down, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, but I still remember the sword you gave me four years ago, and it's still in my bedroom." I heard that you've been in a lot of trouble lately, so I've made a special trip from the Cold Valley. ”
Gomez burst into tears of excitement after hearing this, he never thought that he would have such a status in Lorna's heart, and said gratefully: "Your Royal Highness, I am flattered by your concern... I've been... I don't know how to repay you..."
Lorna raised her hand to stop, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "I have a general understanding of the situation, there is no need to explain it to me." Now we need to race against time, we don't have time to chat, why don't I ask you anything. ”
Gomer said respectfully: "Knowing everything! ”
The dragon blood lines in Lorna's eyes flashed treacherously, and she asked emotionlessly, "Where did you hide the 1.62 million tons of relief grain that Wang Cheng gave you?" ”
