Chapter 351 Promotion Ceremony
The woman frowned slightly and said, "This has almost pushed down the entire city and rebuilt it once. Where did the Gemini Kingdom get such a large amount of manpower and material resources?"
The waiter still said in a stupid tone: "Her Majesty's will must be obeyed, and Her Majesty's request must be fulfilled." After saying two similar statements, the waiter continued: "It is said that the Aishi Chamber of Commerce borrowed 100 million gold coins from the Elf King's Court, and in addition, hundreds of thousands of prisoners were redeemed in the construction of the city."
"Get redemption? What does it mean?"
"Their souls will surely be able to enjoy their happiness in heaven."
Although what the waiter said, the woman still felt the strong fear he was saying this. This fear was so powerful that he, an ordinary person, almost broke free from her mental control.
Feeling that the waiter's spirit had begun to be out of control, the woman quickly changed the subject and said, "Tell me about the Aishue Chamber of Commerce, why can she borrow 100 million from the Elf Royal Court?"
Sure enough, as long as the Queen of the Gemini Kingdom was not talked about, the waiter's soul became much more stable. He said: "In the Gemini Kingdom, the Aishe Chamber of Commerce is not simple, just a chamber of commerce. She is responsible for the tax and financial expenses of the entire kingdom. It is a powerful organization that can compete with the army and the Ministry of Administration. Many people come to the Twin Cities to do business. Dealing with the Aishe Chamber of Commerce is more important than dealing with the Ministry of Administration."
Speaking of this, the waiter paused for a moment, pointed carefully at the table in front of Le Chi, and said, "For example, that guy is just a clerk in charge of tax registration under the Aixue Chamber of Commerce, but if he is in a dilemma, no store can be managed."
The woman looked in the direction pointed by the waiter. A middle-aged man with a big belly and a greasy face sat at the chief seat of the table. He didn't look like his subordinates. It was probably the businessmen who needed to have a good relationship with him. Everyone was trying to flatter him. And it seemed that the tax clerk enjoyed this kind of flattery.
The waiter continued, "He likes to come to us to listen to music, and seems to have fallen in love with us..." Halfway through the words, the waiter suddenly stopped. The woman felt a huge sense of fear hit his soul again, several times stronger than the time before. In addition, this time she was not prepared and was directly broken out of mental control by the waiter.
The waiter who had recovered his sense of autonomy stood up in a hurry, but did not dare to move around, so he had to stand there stiffly.
Almost in an instant, the entire hall became completely quiet, and the girl who was playing the violin in the orchestra was standing against the wall, not daring to show off.
Da... Da... Da... Da... The sound of hard leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor was so thrilling, as if they were stepping on everyone's hearts. The whole hall held their breath, whether they were standing or sitting, they were still there. Time stopped. Everyone tried hard not to make any moves, for fear of being alarmed.
The woman looked over and a group of five women in black military uniforms walked in. They were not wearing combat uniforms, but more similar to military dresses. Some slim designs on the clothes made them look heroic. They went straight to the tax clerk that the waiter had just mentioned, and the leader of the team leader said in a cold tone: "Guards are welcome."
Just this sentence directly made the tax clerk's psychological collapse. When the women just came in, he felt extra nervous and uneasy. Seeing them walking towards him, the huge fear had turned into the ghost claws of death and grabbed his heart. When he heard the words, he felt that the ghost claws had already pinched his heart.
The tax clerk collapsed on the ground, burst into tears, snatching the ground with his head, shouting: "I did nothing wrong... I am loyal... I don't..." After saying that, I couldn't hear clearly, and was basically calling for injustice.
The team leader waited for a while, and saw that he was crying endlessly, he grabbed the guy's hair, forced him to raise his head, and said, "You dare to hinder the guards from performing their missions. You can kill them on the spot according to military orders."
The tax clerk was completely frightened by this sentence. It took more than ten seconds to recover and said in a panic: "I don't...I don't have any obstacles...I don't have any obstacles...I don't have any obstacles...I don't have any words...I don't have any..."
The team leader said expressionlessly: "Let's go with us!" After that, he walked towards the hotel entrance.
The tax clerk wanted to stand up, but his legs were trembling. Even if he held the table, he couldn't stand up. In the end, the two guards held him left and right and dragged him away.
After the guards left, they stopped for another five or six minutes before someone dared to speak in the hall. Soon, everyone resumed their previous conversations and movements. It seemed that in order to alleviate the fear just now, everyone deliberately amplified their voices, and for a moment, the hall seemed a little noisy.
The woman witnessed the whole process, and her inner surprise made her speechless. She had only one thought in her mind: Danica... What a powerful method! She really suppressed her majesty to all aspects of the entire kingdom.
Half an hour later, the lobby of the hotel was the same as when the woman first came in: an elf girl in the orchestra played a melodious violin music, the guests enjoyed food and wine, and were very educated and chatted with their companions in a low voice. Everything was so normal, as if everything that just happened was just a dream.
At this time, the dish ordered by the woman also came. She drank the red wine for the meal and ate the tender steak. The wine was very sweet and the steak was delicious, but she always had an unreal feeling. What kind of city is this!
Just as the woman was immersed in her random thoughts, she felt alone sitting opposite her. The woman looked up and said in surprise: "Ai Xue, why are you here?"
"What do you mean when I am here?" Ai Xue chuckled and said, "Since you are here, why don't you come to me and let me treat you well? What does it mean to run here alone to have dinner, Maines." The mysterious woman was Maines Solomon, the princess of the Kingdom of Solomon, Danica's classmate when she was studying at Bunos Magic Academy, an important partner of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce, and one of the most important identities - the president of the Lilith Secret Association.
"This..." For a moment, Maines couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only say far-fetchedly, "I think it's so late, it's hard to bother..."
"I don't think you will disturb me when you come here. I treat you as a good friend." Ai Xue said with a little coquettishness.
Steel trading is one of the core businesses of the Aishi Chamber of Commerce. The reason why Aishi was able to do this business with a high threshold and was so large was mainly due to the cooperation of Princess Solomon, Maines. Although the Kingdom of Solomon is not big, it was a country sitting on a mine cart. Let's put it this way, there are two major iron ore enrichment zones in the entire Katic continent, one is the Northwest Mountains, which is the location of the Dwarf Kingdom, and the other is the Kingdom of Solomon. In order to make the steel business start, Aishi had a lot of dealing with Maines, and the relationship between the two was very good.
"Okay, okay, can't it be that I was wrong?" said Mainz with a smile, "But the dishes have already been served, so I have to finish them, right? Or I'll order one for you too, the food here is quite delicious."
"No need for this. I've had dinner. Just give me some, don't let me sit here." After saying that, Ai Xue called the waiter, asked for a set of tableware, and directly cut Maine's steak into a small piece.
"This..." Maines looked at Ai Xue in amazement and said, "This is not in line with aristocratic etiquette, right?" Maines is a princess and has been taught by court etiquette since she was a child. Ai Xue's behavior is too uneducated. What is the difference between this and the laborers in the mine?
"Aristocratic etiquette?" Ai Xue took a small bite of the steak and said with a sneer, "Don't you know? The original hereditary nobles in the Gemini Kingdom were 'handled', and there were not so many rules here." After swallowing the steak, Ai Xue continued, "Besides, if I order another steak, I can't eat it, then it's a waste? In the Gemini Kingdom, you can be extravagant, but not waste. You should have heard many stories about nobles fighting for wealth, such as wrapping silk around trees, making clothes for trees, and paving the way with food. If such a thing happened in the Gemini Kingdom, the crow would come the next day."
"crow?"
"It's the Guards." Aishi explained, "They like to wear black uniforms, and appearing will bring ominousness and death, so they are called crows. And Emily also accepted this statement. There is a crow on the Guards' badge... Emily is the leader of the Guards, you should have seen it?"
"That's it!" Maines recalled and said, "I have met several times, but I'm not very familiar with each other."
"Talk back to the topic just now," Ai Xue continued, "It's really touching to say that, a very important subordinate of mine was arrested for this. Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood. He took a bite of the whole table of dishes and felt that they were not good, so he threw them away. As a result, the crow took him away the next day, and I have never seen him again."
Maines asked while eating his steak, "Since you are an important subordinate, why don't you ask for mercy? Maybe you can save it!"
Aishi looked at Meines, showed a meaningful smile, and said, "If I plead with you, I will be taken away. Except for Her Majesty, no one in the Gemini Kingdom is indispensable, including myself."
At this time, Meines heard something was wrong. Aishi was probably not just chatting with him. She wiped her mouth and said, "This is really a strange rule. Your law also specifically stipulates a 'crime of waste'?"
"Of course there is no more. The laws of the Gemini Kingdom are quite loose, and there is not much to care about."
"In what name did the crow take that subordinate away?"
"No name is needed." Aishue said, "The crows represent the will of Her Majesty the Queen. They do not need any reason to arrest people. Anyone in the entire Gemini Kingdom, any wealth, including this land, belongs to Her Majesty, and she has the right to deal with these things according to her will."
Ai Xue's words seemed to be inconsistent, and the atmosphere between the two became solemn. Maines sneered and said, "What do you tell me what do you mean?"
Ai Xue looked at the steak on the plate in front of her and said, "As the saying goes, follow the local customs. Since you are going to settle here for a while, as a good friend, I have the obligation to help you understand the customs here."
"I'll be arrested by Danica so, too?" said Maines in a sarcastic tone.
Maines said this one after another, which made Aishue feel a little angry. She raised her head, stared at Maines' eyes, and said, "I don't recommend you to make any attempt to provoke the queen's majesty."
Maines's face turned slightly red and his chest also fluttered. He was angry. From the moment she just met Danica to now, they have been in a cooperative relationship. The status of both parties is equal, but what does it mean now? Danica intends to suppress herself?
The two were stalemate for a while, Aishue sighed and said, "Maines, I really treat you as a friend. I will say whatever I have. The world has no choice but to change. We must adapt to it in order to live and to live better... Don't get me wrong. I'm not threatening you. I just hope you can restore your sanity. If you are clear-headed, you should be able to figure it out. This is the essence of this world. And there is a ready-made example in front of you. Think about Aphro, Aphro Aragon, your classmate when you were studying at Bunos Magic Academy, the princess of the Tulip Kingdom, and the leader of the reformist faction, but recently she has also claimed to surrender to the Holy See of Light? I remember you told me
, At that time, Aphro was so energetic and energetic when he was at the Bunos Magic Academy, but what about now? The situation is stronger than people, and no matter how proud people are, they have to bow to the situation. I can tell you that Aphro has not fought before. In the Kenster trial, she tried her best to fight, but the cruel facts defeated all her pride." Speaking of this, Aphro was also a little sad. It is said that Aphro lived a difficult life in the Tulip Kingdom. She surrendered, betrayed her allies, betrayed her companions, betrayed those who had been silently supporting her, and betrayed her faith and soul. Aphro couldn't imagine what kind of life Aphro lived now.
