my age of magic

Chapter 1569 119. Loud slap in the face
When Mo Xiang was chatting with me, the young nobles around, including Lionel Falconer, were listening quietly, and no one interrupted.Mo Xiang invited me to go to the Mo family manor to attend the afternoon banquet after the meeting, and then he got up and took the inseparable personal maid to the front row.

His valet seemed to be mute, and when I looked over at her, she gave me a small smile.

After Mo Xiang left, the young nobles surrounded me with a 'huh', and the bearded young noble stared at me with wide eyes and said, "Marquis Jijia, you are so familiar with that young master of the Mo family! ?”

I leaned on the seat and said calmly: "I am a supplier of giant crossbow arrows, what's so strange about knowing Mo Xiang?"

The bearded young nobleman hurried over, sat next to me and said eagerly: "I heard that you had a duel with Mo William before, but I didn't expect you to get so close to the young master of the Mo family. It seems that the rumors cannot be trusted .”

Some of these young nobles should have investigated me. I glanced at him and said, "What is the small grudge between me and Senior William in the face of the war between the planes?"

"Ha, that's true." The bearded young noble said with a smile.

Lionel Falconer sighed with some regret at this time: "If we could get to know each other earlier, maybe we would have the opportunity to participate in the war on the Hierro plane."

The other young nobles also echoed their voices. They always like to discuss the classic battles of the war of planes, and then lament that they were born at the wrong time, or because of some special circumstances, they did not catch up, complaining about the lack of opportunities.

I rubbed my sore neck, and said to these young nobles: "Actually, it's not too late for you to participate in the Hierro Plane War. Zach plans to lead the Construct Knights to expedition to the Marsh Sea next year, and take the Nibru Spider People rushed into the Great Rift Valley, if this expedition can win, I believe Zac will be recorded in the annals of the Grimm Empire."

Lionel Falconer frowned, and said a little discouraged: "Expedition! Hearing these words, I feel a little scary. Needless to say, all kinds of difficulties and obstacles along the way, the long supply line alone can wear us down. Besides, I don't want to break into the nest of the Nibru Spiderman, God knows what kind of terrifying existence the Nibru Spider Queen will be there."

I didn't speak at the side, and the young nobles around were also talking about it, saying that the logistics regiment of their own army was not capable of supporting an expedition.

Lionel Falconer clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said: "Recently, everyone is asking around to see if there is any chance to go to the Luoqi plane to participate in the garrison mission. I heard that Haas Rab and his group made a lot of money following the Prince of Wales on the plane of Rocky."

I didn't expect him to mention the Marquis of Haslab. The nobles in the imperial capital are really not that big, but speaking of which, the Marquis of Haslab hasn't contacted me for a while. I heard from Senior Dylan that He is stationed in a certain port city on the plane of Luoqi. The ordinary transactions of giant crossbows between us are all consigned to the plane of Luoqi by the help of Earl Donald of the South Wind Legion.

Lionel Falconer said excitedly: "Those guys are lucky. When the Prince of Wales formed the legion, they happened to be selected. I heard from the constructed knight who came back from the plane of Rocky to recuperate. The current situation is very good, and the Prince of Wales lacks a large number of garrisons. Some unimportant cities have not yet constructed knight garrisons. If we can find an opportunity to lead the army into the plane of Rocky, we will definitely be able to get the Prince of Wales. .”

The surrounding young nobles also began to talk about their own suggestions. Obviously, the victory of the Ahn'Qirad plane made them more confident.

"Look, that's the commander of the Aix Army in Qiyan City!" A nobleman in the crowd whispered.

A large group of aristocratic lords entered the Imperial City Council Hall, walking in front was a middle-aged man wearing the badge of the Grimm Empire General Star on his chest. He was wearing a magic robe with evil spirit patterns on his body, and a short With a thorium wand, a scorching breath wrapped his body. He walked into the council hall with a serious face, followed by a group of constructed knights and magicians. Seeing the military forces of Qiyan City, they quickly walked to the front row and sat down.

The bearded young nobleman said to me: "I heard that the commander of the Aix Legion is the most promising person in the empire to be promoted to a fourth-rank legendary mage in recent years."

The pale young nobleman beside him said in a very envious tone: "Level [-] legendary magician is too far away for us."

Among the group of people in the Qiyan City military, I accidentally saw Annie.

She followed at the back of the crowd, with short red hair, wearing the leather armor set of 'Magic Serpent's Fang' that I gave her, and two storm swords hanging on her waist. For a swordsman, tight leather Armor can make the body more flexible and balanced, so when leather craftsmen cut and sew leather armor for swordsmen, they almost always use the softest leather to make tight-fitting leather armor.

Anne's figure seems to have grown a bit, the originally well-fitting leather armor is a little tight on the chest and buttocks, the breastplate and trousers seem to be stretched apart at any time, she didn't see me, but He sat at the back of the group of people in Qiyan City with a knight in costume beside him.

The group of people from the Qiyan City Legion seemed very relaxed, and they could occasionally whisper a few words and interact with each other when they sat together.

The tall constructed knight next to Annie has been chatting with Annie, and it seems that the two of them are discussing something, and Annie nods from time to time.

The leader of the Aix Legion sat very close to Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang took the initiative to greet him. The two seemed to be very familiar with each other, and talked in a low voice together.

This is a meeting on how to distribute the benefits of the multi-planes of Ahn'Qiraj, so many female clerks came from all parties, and those female assistants wearing silk shirts and cashmere skirts passed by the aisle of the council hall , There will always be a section of white lotus root-like calf inadvertently exposed. These beautiful women form a beautiful scenery in the council hall, and they are also the focus of the eyes of the young nobles around me.

There was another commotion at the entrance of the Imperial City Council Hall. Duke Billy Babington walked in quickly with a group of people. With a hooked nose and thin dark purple lips, he was wearing a black cloak with a fur collar, looking like a gloomy arakkoa.

Today he is the protagonist, but he is just a fat pig that has been pressed on the cutting board to be slaughtered. The people in the audience seem to have a plate in front of them, holding a knife and fork in their hands, waiting to share the fat on him.

The victory of the Ahn'Qirador plane did not make him feel the slightest bit of joy. He led a group of his men up to the arc-shaped platform in front, and handed the parchment ledgers to the councilors on the platform.Then he sat down at the front of the stage, holding the cane in both hands, sitting upright, squinting his eyes and saying nothing, his face was no longer as fierce as it was at the rune merchant conference.

Duke Billy Babington didn't see me sitting in the crowd, but he turned his head and stared at me for a while after a person who looked like a clerk whispered beside him .

Lionel Falconer also saw Billy Babington's gaze. He waited for Duke Billy to look away before asking me, "What's the grudge between you and Duke Billy?"

"I am in the elementary rune board business in the imperial capital. The Babington family is a traditional and old rune board manufacturer. We are competitors in the rune board business, and there are other things." I said.

The bearded young nobleman said indifferently on the other side of me: "Don't be afraid of him, the Babington family is gradually going downhill recently, they have a rich and rich plane of Ahn'Qirador, but they have been unable to develop it. Not only did the Dun family’s territory in the plane of Ahn’Qirad not expand, but it shrunk a lot compared to before. After the outbreak of the plane war, the entire plane of Ahn’Qirad was almost occupied by the Nacoma.”

The white-faced young nobleman sitting on the other side of the beard also said: "The plane of Ahn'Qirad has never been opened to the outside world. It was developed independently by the Babington family. Now the Nacoma are looting around the plane of Ahn'Qirad. They are planning to open up the plane and let other lords help them bear the pressure of war on the plane, go to hell, I don’t intend to play with him like this.”

Lionel Falconer put his hand on my shoulder, and advised me: "Let me tell you, Jijia, even if you win the right to develop the plane of Ahn'Qirad, don't go there for now. Wait until the situation stabilizes before going."

Everyone talked and laughed together, someone opened a bottle of golden cider, and even brought a few exquisite goblets with him.

I looked around the parliament hall, and on the front wall of the hall was actually a relief portrait of His Majesty Charles, and he should be lined up side by side with the successive kings of the Green Empire.

……

"Marquis Jijia, I didn't expect to see you here."

The sharp and piercing voice pulled me back to reality. I knew the owner of the voice was Duke Billy Babington, but I didn't expect him to come over on his own initiative.

I turned my head and looked over, just in time to meet his dark eyes.

He stared at me coldly, with the corners of his mouth drooping down, and said bitterly: "As far as I know, you didn't participate in the war on the plane of Ahn'Qirad, did you come here by going the wrong way? "

Before I could speak, Lionel Falconer stood up directly, and explained to Billy Babington: "Duke Billy Babington, Jijia also participated in the multi-plane war of Ahn'Qirad. , he is a member of the logistics department of the Fourth Support Corps, and has been coordinating late-stage supplies for us in the imperial capital."

Billy Babington raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Oh? Is it because he sold you those bed crossbow bolts? If I say this, do I want to recognize the identity of those farmers in the south of the empire, because they want to We provided high-quality wheat flour."

The guards standing behind Duke Billy laughed hard, their laughter attracted more onlookers, and the nobles around looked at us one after another.

Duke Billy glanced around, and said in an extremely mean tone: "The Fourth Support Army... Hehe, I really want to thank you young people. The Ma people will not make the decision to withdraw their troops so quickly, but well! Your contribution is nothing more than that."

A group of young nobles turned pale with anger at Duke Billy's ruthless words, and everyone clenched their fists and glared at the Duke.

Lionel Falconer did not back down in the slightest, looked at Duke Billy, raised the corner of his mouth with a slight smile and said, "You are really chilling us by saying these things now, you are trying to take the Imperial Capital Are all the little lords turned away? Prince Charlie helped you defend Ahnquilador this time, so what about next time? Next time? I don’t think His Royal Highness will always be so free, I hope you can remember Live the words spoken today, the Honorable Duke Billy Babington."

The nobles around began to boo, some even mixed in the crowd and shouted 'well said', it seemed that these people also did not have the slightest respect for Billy Babington.

At this time, a fat man behind Billy Babington squeezed out, he pointed at Lionel Falconer angrily and said: "Lionel Falconer, you are provoking a With the authority of the noble Duke of the Empire, I believe that even without you, the Ahn'Qirad War will still be victorious."

He put his bald forehead on Lionel Falconer's forehead, and said sharply: "You mobsters, what have you done for Ahn Qirador, and now you ran to the imperial capital's council hall to share The fruits of victory, have you retained any of the noble character of noble knights?"

Lionel Falconer stared at the bald and fat nobleman, and said, "Edgar, what do you mean to say that we lead the Construct Knights to fight in Ahnquilador, no matter what we pay or not, we should be free of charge." Dedication, otherwise it is against the spirit of chivalry?"

Edgar was blushed by what Lionel Falconer said, and he cursed angrily: "A nobleman with a noble character should not get something for nothing! Look at the disgusting and greedy faces of you people, and the undead What is the difference between vampires, they are all full of dirty smell."

The name of this fat, bald, fat man sounds so familiar. He is the businessman who drove Alia into a corner. Alia told me that Edgar was Billy Babington's friend. Look at him My thick lips were spitting, I kicked off the conference table in front of me, the long table crashed down, Edgar took a step back in embarrassment, I stepped on it, reached out and grabbed his tie, He pulled me up.

"What did you say? Who gave you the courage to insult the nobles of the Green Empire like this in public?" I scolded him angrily.

His oily fat body was constantly shaking, and there were anger, fear, and shame in his eyes. I poured the golden cider from the goblet in my hand from the top of his head, and the golden wine dripped down his face. down.

"Stop, Jijia, what are you doing?" Billy Babington's roar came over.

I ignored Billy Babington's angry reprimand, and slapped Edgar hard.
