Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 217: Ravana

The wedding went smoothly. On the second day after the spring night, the bridegrooms were personally led out of the city by the officials of the kingdom to choose the land they wanted. Since they were the first batch of newcomers, they could own more land than their subsequent comrades-in-arms. There are more people, and the selected land quality and location are better.

After they finish the selection, a new scroll recording the land ownership will be issued to the hands of the newcomers, and they can choose whether to cultivate or build a manor on their own land.

Of course, as long as they have money.

It is naturally impossible for Richard to pay for the construction of these soldiers, but he still figured out a way to let the financial controller Walcom open loans and allow soldiers to borrow money from the government for construction. They may be able to use the previously obtained Part of the spoils will be repaid, but in the end, the economic income from land cultivation must be used to repay the money. There is no need to pay tax for the first three years of acquiring the land, but the tax and the repayment will be paid later. ...

While the soldiers were having their wedding, Richard also sent his diplomatic chief Ornus von Frank and his delegation to leave Nord City and march towards Ravana, the capital of the Kingdom of Ravana. Ornus’ mission It is clear that it is to determine the time for the marriage of the two countries.

Ornus is very confident about his trip. Given the relationship between the two countries, this trip is only symbolic. This is indeed the case. After half a month's journey, Ornus successfully entered the city of Lavana. The prosperous city of the heart of the Kingdom of Lavana has been restored a lot, and the damaged city walls and urban buildings have also been completed. Reconstruction, there is almost no trace of the outbreak of war.

Out of respect for King Winster, the Diplomatic Officer of Ravana went out of the city to greet the Ornus mission. After placing the mission in an empty house in the noble quarter, the Ravana Diplomat named Strong Peters The general manager led Ornus to the Trizi Palace. In the main hall of the Trizi Palace, Queen Stephanie had already set a banquet and dressed up to attend, waiting for his arrival.

Looking at this beautiful exotic queen, Ornus stood in the center of the main hall, stroking her breasts, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty Queen Stephanie, I am Ornus, the Diplomatic Director of Her Majesty King Richard of Winster. Von Frank, it’s an honor to be here at your banquet."

"Your Excellency Ornus Director of Diplomacy, on behalf of the Kingdom of Ravana, I welcome your visit. In the name of the profound friendship between the two countries, I believe you will have wonderful travel memories in the city of Ravana."

Then, as Queen Stephanie stretched out her hand, a servant bowed and led Ornus to his position. After the latter reached the position, he saluted again and sat down openly. When all the guests were seated, the singer and the theater troupe quickly entered the stage and performed under the sign of the palace director. At the same time, the musical instruments on both sides of the hall were also played, and the beautiful sound of the instruments resounded in the hall.

The food prepared at the banquet is a very common medieval "gourmet", such as pea soup made from mashed peas with small pieces of meat, fresh herb soup, fennel chicken, roasted pork leg and pork liver crepe, etc. Why do you want Add a double quotation mark to the food, because the taste of these foods is really not very good-but for Ornus, a native of the Middle Ages, the taste of these foods is still qualified.

One thing I forgot to say, after becoming the ruler of the Kingdom of Ravana, Stephanie personally wrote to ask Richard to send a priest to preach to her court, which could spread the influence of Christianity. This was what Richard wanted. , So he gladly accepted Stephanie’s request and sent a one-star priest-don’t underestimate the power of a one-star priest. He is like a highly infectious virus, and soon let the court of the Kingdom of Lavana Most of the people converted to Christ.

As a result, the prayer before the meal of the Dali religion who believes in the magic deer was cancelled and replaced by a prayer of praise to God.

At the end of the happy and lively banquet, it was already the night of the day. Under the arrangement of the palace master, the drunk Ornus returned to the manor where the mission was staying in a carriage. Someone saw him with a woman supporting him. Walked into the room and stayed up overnight.

On the second day, the sober Ornus walked out of the room refreshedly. After washing and eating, he rode a carriage to Trizi Palace to meet Queen Stephanie and her loyal diplomat.

"Your Majesty Queen Stephanie, Honorable Master of Foreign Affairs Strong, Good Day." Ornus said, standing in the center of the court, saluting gracefully.

"Good day, Your Excellency Ornus Diplomatic Director." Queen Stephanie said lightly, and then she asked: "Your Excellency, I wonder if my dear cousin sent you here. What's the new plan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ornus said, "Your Majesty the King sent me to visit your country to agree on a specific time for the wedding of the two kings."

"Oh?" Stephanie's eyes flashed with imperceptible joy, and asked: "Does your country have any plans regarding the time when the two kings will be married?"

"Your Majesty, we hope to complete the wedding before the end of the year, and the specific time is set for Christmas on December 25~lightnovelpub.net~Christmas?" Stephanie couldn't bear it. She uttered an exclamation, how she did not know the influence of Christmas when she converted to Christianity, and before that, she did not dare to imagine that she could complete the most important wedding in her life on this day.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ornus explained, "Christmas is the most important holiday for all Christians, so His Majesty wants to complete the wedding on this day, not only to celebrate the birth of Saint **** Christ, but also This wedding is affected and more sacred."

As soon as Ornus finished speaking, Stephanie and her loyal diplomat exchanged glances, as if being instructed. The latter immediately said, "The date your country has set really brings us profound feelings. Surprisingly, we accept the big wedding on the day of the birth of **** Christ on December 25."

"But." He changed the conversation, and then said: "After setting the date, I also want to ask your country where the wedding will be held, whether it is my king, the city of Ravana, or your king, the city of Noord. city?"

"Of course it is Nord City." Ornus said with a smile, "The leading party of this big wedding is our country, so the wedding location must be in Nord City."

"I don't think it's right." Strong frowned and said: "I think the wedding should be held in the city of Ravana. According to Christian tradition, the wedding should be held in the church. However, Nord City has not yet been built. A church, and the city of Ravana has already been completed."

Strong’s reason seemed impeccable, but Ornus still smiled and said, “Then why not hold it in Nuremberg. Nuremberg has the world’s first church, not to mention, it is the first fief of His Majesty the King. Queen Stephanie of your country also lived there for a few years with Her Majesty the King."
