Chapter 511

Near noon, the attendants of Randall family finally cleaned up the treasures in the hall. It was only after relaxation that Elena realized that she had not arranged today's lunch.

Everyone sorting treasures is immersed in excitement. Even if they don't eat or sleep all day, they won't feel it. However, the Lord's personal maid should not be in a dilemma in the face of treasure, which will show that the Randall family has a shallow foundation... Although it is true.

Elena has received strict etiquette training in Rose Manor and is fully capable of supporting the dignity of a small family. After all, she is a young and beautiful woman. When she sees so many bright babies for the first time, she still happily forgets the time, just like the wife of a country Lord who has never seen the world.

Oh, what a shame and impolite... Why didn't anyone remind me? Especially the big fool, who is usually a little hungry and his stomach screams like thunder. Today, there is no movement at all. She is so angry with me... Elena is ashamed and angry. She stares at Caligula, stomps her feet and says, "Caligula, you don't have lunch today!"

Carigula blinked, looked at Mrs. Elena's gone back, touched the back of her head, and asked Klaus innocently, "why does Mrs. said I don't have lunch?"

"Maybe... Maybe... Oh, I don't know." Klaus spread out his hands and suggested, "why don't you let Brandon ask his wife?"

"Get out! Why don't you ask?" Brandon glared at Klaus.

The two immediately started a daily quarrel, while others happily watched the excitement, and only Caligula was sad alone.

He was really wronged. Since he trained the eagle and lion fighting skills to the third level, not to mention the sound of fasting intestines, he didn't even have the problem of sleeping and snoring. According to the martial arts theory of turnans, Caligula has been able to preliminarily control the internal diving, which is only one step away from the simulated rage and bloodthirsty talent. Now he can maintain his energetic physical function without eating for ten days and a half months.

However, eating is his only hobby!

Although the time is short, the chef of Randall's family is skilled, skilled in knife work and fully prepared food materials. They got Elena's menu and soon bought a simple but exquisite dish.

Of course, the attendants could only surround the dining table in the back hall, eating dry bread and cursing the big fool. When Caligula helped bring up the big pot, there was not a drop of wheat porridge left in it.

Victor didn't pay attention to the episode between the attendants. He was accompanying Catherine and Ariel to lunch today.

Empress Dowager Wang behaved naturally and gracefully, and her dining etiquette was impeccable, but Victor obviously felt her inner upset.

The wisdom and insight of her sweetheart had already fascinated Catherine. Catherine believed more than half of his judgment about the Borui people's plot to build the port of Firth lake, and was worried about it.

In fact, Victor's analysis has no conclusive factual basis. It is a far fetched conjecture and can't be done at all. He was bullying the Empress Dowager. He didn't have fighting spirit. His personal emotions were particularly easy to be mobilized.

Rex used water conservancy projects to readjust the industrial structure of Neville kingdom. Victor also has his own layout, but the object of his planning is not a kingdom, but to integrate resources for the whole human country with the golden group as a tool.

Victor's original intention of forming the golden group was to realize the Randall family's strategy of going north and East.

Randall territory is located in the southwest border of the human kingdom, with lizard swamp in the East, Jinshui River in the south, Gambis in the West and Duke of York in the north. Despite Victor's current power in the kingdom of Gambis, in fact, the remote geographical location determines that the population and material transportation of the Randall family are restrained by external forces. The kingdom of Gambis can blockade Randall's border at any time and let Randall's crude sugar, grain and other materials rot in the warehouse, thus forcing Victor to hand over most of his interests.

When the situation got to this point, Victor had only two choices: war or admit defeat.

War is always the Lord's last choice. Both sides lose and win. It's cheap for onlookers. Victor did not want to light the fire of war or surrender. Under the circumstances at that time, he came up with the idea of establishing a smuggler group, and finally defined the strategic concept of the golden group going north and East.

The northward strategy includes opening up the trade routes of Dodo Kingdom, Neville Kingdom, Wharton prairie and Sassanian Empire, which is now implemented by Sophia.

The Eastward Strategy of the gold regiment can no longer be handed over to Sophia. Victor must hold the business road from west to East in his hand to balance Sophia's influence on the gold regiment. Otherwise, the logistics flow led by Randall will be at the mercy of the Marquis of Wimbledon.

Jinshui River flows from west to East, passing through Gambis, Rand Empire, Ayres, suss Kingdom, Eastern alliance and Borui United Kingdom. Victor's development of Jinshui River shipping can immediately break the marginalization pattern of Randall's leadership. The Randall family's large merchant ship loaded with goods went downstream to the port of Borui United Kingdom. When the wind season came, it set sail retrograde to transport goods and return to Randall's collar.

No power can clamp down on the shipping trade of the Randall family, because no one can fight the silver warship on the water. However, the monsoon period that supported the fleet to sail against the current was only four months, and Victor's merchant ships were not enough to return to Randall from the distant Borui River Bay.

Jinshui River shipping must adopt the mode of layer by layer transfer. The construction of a port for ships to dock has become the key link of the golden regiment's Eastward Strategy.

The first transit port envisaged by Victor is located on the North Bank of Lake Firth, the largest lake known to mankind.

The conditions of Lake Firth are really excellent. Randall family's fleet set out from Rosa harbor and drifted along the water for more than ten days. It can enter FIS lake with open water and gentle water flow. The fleet can cast nets and fish when anchoring, and can sail southward into the tributaries of the southern continent. The fleet docked at the port on the north bank, and the goods from the man horse hill radiated from the port to the Ayres and the RAND Empire, and even directly flowed into the Neville kingdom through Mrs. Dolly's territory. The fleet continued to sail eastward, passing through the kingdom of USSR and the eastern alliance to reach the Jinshui River estuary where Borui United Kingdom is located.

The location of Lake Firth is so important that Victor urgently needs to control a transit port on the North Bank of the lake.

Victor listed the construction of the port on the North Bank of Firth Lake as the key plan of the golden regiment's Eastward Strategy. As the saying goes, he is afraid that other forces are also thinking about Fisi lake. Therefore, Mrs. dolly talked about the border between count de Kaiser and the RAND Empire, and Satya revealed that the marriage between sus and the Borui kingdom may not be really related. But Victor's first thought was the port on Lake Firth.

In fact, for thousands of years, the Lords of the kingdoms have been keen to explore land, and they have not clearly recognized the great advantages of shipping trade. For example, the East Norr River and the West Norr River in Gambis have navigable hydrological conditions, but the floating bridge, cableway bridge and stone arch bridge built by the Lord forcibly cut off the blinor channel. Even in the kingdom of Borui, which occupies the seven major islands, their shipping activities are limited to short-distance material transfer between islands and between islands and coastal ports.

At present, Jinshui River voyage trade only exists in Victor's mind, and neither Knight Lord nor clergy have relevant concepts.

However, past experience told Victor that the knight Lord had strong learning ability and keen judgment. What Victor did, as long as it was good for the family, they immediately followed and improved it without delay; For things that are not good for the family, they choose to stretch their necks to watch the excitement.

Take papermaking for example. Randall family's technology of making straw paper is relatively mature, but the manufacturing cost of writing paper remains high. Victor hoped that other lords would also invest human and material resources to promote the improvement of papermaking technology, but no one responded. Now, Victor launched the mutual aid voucher gambling, and other lords finally began to build their own paper workshop.

The Lords are so cunning that no wonder Victor is always suspicious. He believed that as long as he showed a little sign, all major forces would immediately jump out and compete with him for the dominance of Jinshui River shipping, and the port on the North Bank of FIS lake would bear the brunt.

In the final analysis, this is the result of the difference of family background. The Millennium giants have a complete handicraft foundation, an independent scientific research system, a mature network of contacts, complex in laws, and well-trained spies. They can imitate Viscount Randall's ruling measures and inventions, including papermaking, shipbuilding and port construction.

The Randall family has only one in laws of the York family. Although Victor created the mercury spy, he really has a black eye on the upper class society. He has no way to verify the inside information told him by others. He guesses all by himself, which is particularly easy to be misled and used.

Victor could not confirm whether Mrs. Dolly had an interest in Neo West. Princess hilling of SUS and Raymond of Borui kingdom Peter's marriage means that the Borui people have ideas about Lake Firth, and he is not sure.

Victor can be sure that if he stands in the position of Borui kingdom or Neville, he must take control of the port on the North Bank of Lake SUS. However, he is the royal highness of the kingdom of Gambis, and Gambis has formulated the South expansion plan, and has regarded the Firth Lake as the back garden of the kingdom. Warships of other kingdoms are never welcome to enter the Firth lake.

Therefore, Victor clearly expressed his attitude to Catherine that Gambis should build a port at the mouth of Firth lake. If Auguste still holds the idea of not cheap emperor Rand, he should assemble troops at the mouth of Firth lake to form a military deterrent to the Reich of Rand, so that other kings can recognize the severe situation, so as not to put their hands into Firth lake.

In short, it's procrastination. Take all possible measures to delay the layout of external forces against the Firth lake, drag the Gambis warship into the water and drag it to the golden regiment to build a port on the North Bank of the Firth lake!

Although the Randall family is young, Augustus has a deep foundation. Augustus can easily do things that Victor feels embarrassed. Catherine just wrote a letter to kite castle and asked Auguste to investigate the intelligence. Victor will soon be able to grasp the relevant details and see if his judgment is wrong. If his speculation is true, kite castle will naturally use diplomatic resources to block the attempts of the Neville or Borui people.

Victor doesn't need to worry about how to do kite castle.

Viscount Randall moved his mouth, and the queen mother of Gambis was worried about it. This is a Royal Highness's influence on the kingdom.

After lunch, Victor returned to his bedroom, put on his double headed dragon lizard leather armor, and was ready to leave for the mist mountains to survey the terrain of Neville's main canal. When Victor came out, Catherine, with her wonderful eyes, came forward, took his hand and said intimately:

"Honey, I saw you wearing war clothes for the first time... It's very charming."

Victor's double headed dragon lizard's whole body leather armor was designed by Sylvia himself, which fully fits his body lines and outlines the body characteristics of the moon elf, tall and symmetrical, bee waist and long legs. The appearance of cyan and black color has a metal texture. It perfectly combines softness and masculinity into a unique Qi, just like the refined gold sword in the scabbard, deep, restrained, sharp and hidden.

Baroness Ariel stared at Victor for a long time. Her eyes also showed a surprised look. She couldn't help laughing: "Lord Randall, I heard that the golden jackal is still wandering in the mountains of Neville... Do you need my personal protection?"

"Don't worry about my safety, especially in the wild."

Victor smiled, looked down at Catherine and said, "I have pastor Dane next to me, and archbishop Vespucci has sent three high-ranking ruling warriors to protect me. This shows that we are lucky and destined to be praised."

"But your daily life needs the personal care of a maid."

Catherine said softly, "dear, Ariel is a Silver Knight. She took care of you when you were in kite castle. Let her go with you."

Victor couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and said, "I really don't need to... I'm entangled with ant people at Randall's collar. I'm not surrounded by mountain hunters with thick hands and feet. Honey, I'm not what I used to be. Don't think I'm too delicate."

It is because you are not what you used to be that I am worried that some people think you are too "delicate and delicious"... Catherine sighed secretly. She scrupulously respected her highness, took the initiative to put herself in a lower position, and did not resort to her inner worries. If it were Sylvia, she wouldn't have so many concerns. Those who should speak must be clear.

I'm afraid that's the difference between a lover and a wife.

Catherine gently tied Victor's shoulder armor cloak, carefully manipulated the dress details until she was satisfied, and said with a smile:

"Honey, I'm waiting for you here. But you can't let me wait too long... You have to come back to see me every four months. Otherwise, I'll find you myself."

"I promise you, your beautiful majesty."

Victor stepped back, saluted Catherine as a court attendant, smiled and said, "if everything goes well, I can finish all my work and come back to you before the rainy season this year."

Catherine nodded, took Victor's arm, walked out and asked, "are you going to pick those people to accompany?"

"Of course, there are 50 attendants of Randall family, personal guards, Knights of Rose Manor and clergy of the church. Elena and the maid of silver moon manor stay in count de Kaiser's house. Please take care of them for me while I'm away."

"I will."

Catherine accompanied Victor outside the house. The attendants and guards of Randall family were ready to go. Pastor Dane led a high-ranking Paladin with brown hair and blue eyes to welcome him. He warmly introduced: "Lord Randall, Mrs. Catherine, this is Lord ditma, deputy commander of the Templar."

"Good day, your majesty Augustus. Good day, your excellency Randall."

The paladin took the initiative to salute. He looks 30 years old. He has a handsome face and a strong body. The skin of his hands is smooth and delicate without roughness, which is obviously the characteristic of a knight. His left shoulder armor is painted with 6 dark gold stripes, marking the identity of level 6 Paladin.

Catherine could not help but look moved, lifted her train and bowed to the paladin. "Good day, Lord ditma."

Level 6 paladins have the level of senior silver knights. When they cooperate with level 4 priests, they can burst out the combat effectiveness of gold knights. Moreover, the number of level 6 paladins is rare, with high power, and their social status is equivalent to that of Golden Knights. They were either the deputy commander of the temple army or the commander of the Templar in the Privy Council. The most important thing is that the vast majority of level 6 paladins are Knight nobles, and only the vitality of Knight level can promote paladins to level 6 priests.

Catherine pays tribute to Dietmar according to the etiquette of high-ranking knights, which is in line with the tradition of extraordinary people.

When Victor noticed Dane's closeness to dimart, he immediately knew that the deputy commander of the Templar should be Clement's confidant.

"Lord ditma, it's my pleasure to meet you." Victor also came forward and gave a knightly salute and said, "you can call me victor."

"Well, Victor, you can also call me by my name." Dietmar smiled and said bluntly, "I was ordered by the Pope to protect your safety during my stay in Neville. Clement told me that I would not interfere with your actions."

Effective protection of course needs to interfere with the action of the protection target. Non intervention is called cooperation... Ditma's words seem to have deep meaning... Victor pondered for a moment, smiled and said, "I'll take my mount. It's grumpy. Except Sylvia and I, it never obeys the orders of others. Excuse me first." With that, he took Catherine to the corral behind the villa.

When Hercules, the fierce fast bird, saw the man coming, he lowered his head and made a friendly coo in his throat. Victor stroked the blue neck feather of Hercules, took it out of the corral and whispered to Catherine, "honey, do you know Dietmar? He is the son of the paladin family?"

"I'm also the first to see deputy commander ditma... I know the reputation of all level 6 paladins." Catherine shook her head and said, "the Templars have one master and three deputy, a total of four commanders. Turnans and ditma are the confidants of the Pope, and the other two are pastors of tamore. They are not related to the paladin family. Level 6 Paladins in the temple army are basically the children of the Paladin family."

"Honey, what do you think?" Catherine asked softly, her eyes flashing.

"Turnans is in the northern wilderness. Under Clement's crown, he sent ditma to protect me. There are no level 6 paladins around the Pope... Don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean Clement got the wind that the paladins wanted to contact you privately?" Katherine was smart and figured out the key in an instant.

Victor nodded and said, "it's possible."

"Since the Pope has arranged for Lord ditma to accompany you, there is nothing to worry about." Catherine smiled and said tactfully, "I originally wanted the secret warrior of kite castle to protect you... It seems that I don't need it."

Originally, he didn't need protection, but now he needs colleagues... Victor heard that it was a irony. He boarded the saddle of Shanghai grees and pulled Catherine up with his hand.

"The Randall family is loyal to the king of Gambis. Of course, kite castle has the obligation to protect the safety of viscount Randall."

Katherine was so happy that she put her arms around Victor's waist and said softly, "honey, I guarantee that the secret warrior of kite castle will defend his highness Randall's will with her life!"

Victor smiled and said nothing, which is the due treatment of his royal highness. The internal contradictions of Gambis are solved within the camp and are consistent with the outside world.

The fierce fast bird made a long loud sound and carried them to the front yard. Catherine raised her pretty face from Victor's arms and asked in surprise:

"Well, I've heard Roland say that Hercules never let anyone ride except Sylvia and you. Roland didn't ride a fierce fast bird and muttered to me for several days."

"This guy only listens to Sylvia's orders in front of her... When Sylvia is not there, he listens to my orders."

Victor patted Hercules on the neck and said proudly. He suddenly realized that he could only rank third in Hagrid's mind... Under Sylvia was little fat bertina.
