The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

“Fresh vegetable fruits, cheap to sell. ”

“Hey, the one over there, the one who looks strong, our engineering team is short, packed and treated from the top, can't come. ”

“Hey, just out of the oven bread, buy one for free, which knight brother, knights half price, want one? Okay, two copper coins. ”

“Tam? Your family is back! Great. Just come back. Just come back! Aren't you going to leave again this time? ”

Strolling around Donglancheng, I saw a busy crowd, the frequent flow of motorcades, the construction sites under construction everywhere, the corners of my mouth had to smile from the bottom of my heart.

Rome was not built in one day. Even with a huge unrequited investment, urban renovation works now remain in the clean-up and renovation of old urban areas. The supply of materials has only slightly improved the living standards of the people. In fact, the living standards have not improved much, but what makes me happy is the spiritual state of the people, which has begun to gradually improve.

The Duchy of Donglan traveled north, watching all sorts of suffering and misfortune, and feeling worse and worse.

After suffering from misfortune, people's faces are always bitter, their eyes are even more painful numbness and confusion, I know that when a person has no expectations for the future, when he is convinced that life will only get worse and worse, no matter how strong that person is, that spiritual appearance will continue to get worse and worse, even his own future will not set, and nature is becoming more and more indifferent to others.

Reason? It's probably just this catastrophic country, and there's going to be another catastrophe.

That year, Lan State overthrew, they did not fall, they lost their homeland for nearly a hundred years, they did not disperse, two hundred years ago, Dong Lan was gradually eroded by the wars of neighbours, they still insisted, more than twenty years ago, they lost the last mining area on which they depended, they still struggled, a year ago, when the old emperor died, they spared their lives following the death of the 14-year-old princess and achieved a miraculous victory.

They are not supermen of the will of steel; they are merely mortals of their homeland. Perhaps this wasted North is nothing but a wasted wasteland in the eyes of outsiders, but for those who lived here in their ancestors, it remains too much of a tribute.

The outsiders cannot understand these Northern followers of their homes, and perhaps they are as stubborn as the glaciers of the North, only because the stubborn souls of the North are rooted here in the expectation that they will adhere to the homes created by their ancestors.

“As long as we're still hungry, but that flag hasn't fallen, we can bite our teeth and survive. ”

But not long ago, they finally couldn't survive, and in the year between the death of the old emperor and Renee's return with supplies, many more eventually left for nothing.

I know that they cannot be blamed, nor have they broken their oaths.

The people of Lan were never afraid of sacrifice and war; they were afraid of not seeing the future.

When the shadow of the war fades away, the ruined agricultural land and villages become desperate, winter will come, the wolves will look around, but the family does not even have the rice grain to survive the winter. When the familiar neighbors starve to death and freeze to death on the streets, when the life-saving grain has not yet landed this winter, the optimists will also consider their own way back.

“It doesn't matter if I suck, but my boy, he's not wrong. ”

No one can watch their children starve to death in front of them. The departed Lan people cannot be blamed at all. Even knowing that they will not be able to return this time, and that most of them will die on dangerous roads, they still have to go back three steps at a time.

What is more cruel and ironic is the departure of these people, which, on the contrary, adds to the already inadequate food for disaster relief, with the fewest deaths in recent years last winter.

This cruel reality cannot be blamed on anyone. If it is hard to find a backpacker, it can only be the royal family of Lan who did not have good guardianship responsibilities. If it is to be derived again, it can probably add to my generation that buried hidden dangers in that year.

So, even though Orlando had already guessed half the bad intentions, Renee, the descendant of Langham, did not even hold the ritual of Queen Gee, still biting her teeth on the journey, after all, doing nothing is dead, and with a hint of hope, it can be fought for.

Let's say there is no way out of the sky... If I get my body back to earth for another year at night, I'm afraid there will be no Duchy of Donglan. If I hadn't been angry with the Orlando Empire's aggressiveness, I wouldn't have met Renee.

At this time, after the lively and noisy Return Day festival the previous day, a lot of things changed. At least, there was little in everyone's eyes, and there were more expectations for a better future.

“See? The old town west of that city has been converted into a barracks, the regiment of His Highness Roland. ”

“Back then, I was the first to arrive at the recruiting site, and unfortunately I was so close to passing. ”

“Blow it, who doesn't know how many regiments and squadrons have started recruiting, but the threshold is actually very high, the first level is the fitness test, you can carry a few sandbags, lean and monkey-style, the first level is brushed down, and it's almost blown? ”

“Know so clearly, don't you too.....”

“At least I made it to the third round! I Aiken don't intend to give up yet. If there are any more legions, try again. I can't do this. I can go into the city defense force as a major soldier! And, by the way, there's the Law Church, and they're hiring. Combat skills are also said to be taught. ”

Obviously it was brushed down, but the strong man Aiken was proud to show off, and the surrounding crowd was shouting, as if to see some great strong man.

The country is weak and dangerous, and the people of weak countries are cheap. No nation understands this more than the devastated Lan people. Even after the Church of the God of Law became a permanent neutral state, in a sense, Dong Lan became a permanent neutral state, but the harsh reality can be seen by everyone. The Orcs of the North are likely to move south at any time. The neighboring countries around them are foolish. If you don't beat others, others will beat you.

In a world dominated by weak predators, to be truly neutral, it is necessary to have a strong power to remain independent and neutral in the midst of chaos.

Now that every legion has been established, it will be a reason for all citizens to rejoice. After all, this means that the warriors who guard themselves are stronger and the country is becoming stronger, while at the same time these newborn legions can give young people ample opportunities for development.

Avalanche Defenders, Great Wind Knights, a legendary name and profession jumped out of history, and those legendary heroic stories were attracting every young man, who also looked forward to making history with his own hands.

In the past, military service, although active, can only be said to be a mixed meal, but now, in the context of protecting the homeland, to find a future, the motivation of the two is completely incomparable.

And when people are proud to serve in the army, it's enough to prove their faith in this country, of course, in me, the legendary prince of the Knight, Roland.

This is not the happiest, most impressive, but I'm afraid the original departed Lan people are beginning to return to their homeland.

And when the legendary news of Prince Roland's return with his legions spread, when his homeland emerged from the resurgence machine, even though the situation remained unclear, the people of Run chose to return, with convoys and individuals returning to their homes every day.

Outside the gates are packed with wagons and travelers waiting to enter the city, and the streets are full of hard-working but happy returnees, "How are you, everyone? I'm finally back.” “Back? Just come back. Just come back.” The answers fluctuated, and returning travelers were more curious about every point of change, pointing to the banner of the Legion was not a small number, and it was more common to grasp acquaintances and ask.

This is just the beginning. It is only a matter of time before we can return to our neighbours who are not far away. As the news spreads, I am afraid that the people of Lan who have left the country for two or three decades will consider whether to return or not, and as the flag of Lan again rises, the people of Lan who are already far apart will be reunited.

And not far from me, a group of newly arrived travellers, some with thick cotton hats and others with lightweight feather hats, apparently from different countries, based on their totally different attire.

Originally, it was probably just people who had just come home to talk about their feelings in a different country, but eventually, it turned out to be a grievance conference.

“... who is willing to leave their homeland even if, fortunately, they have not met beasts and bandits, completed long journeys and have not been forced to their limits. Is it nice to live a completely unfamiliar life in a strange language? Does it make you feel good to have people staring at you like thieves and savages all the time? The sense of isolation that opens its eyes and looks at all the languages of foreigners and foreigners is sometimes really confusing and makes people feel like they want to kill themselves. ”

That was a young man, but that black eye bag and depressed face, already full of cocoon hands and rough skin, was like an old man in his 40s and 50s, overworked and depressed, giving him a pale feeling that clearly transcended his actual age.

“When foreign accents are discriminated against and bullied, who can feel the impatience of not even trying to reason? In the midst of heavy livelihoods, that lonely night spent alone on the homeland festival, missing the homeland and family and friends who can't sleep at night, the feeling of being torn between the cumbers, who can experience. And as long as you show it, it's more obvious. ”

The middle-aged man, who should be able to fight the most, was also normal. He said, thinking about the past, he was angry to snap the wooden table with a glass.

“I finally made a new friend, and when I was talking, I didn't mean to say a word." Donglan? Oh, I know. That's the barbarian tribe that's going to destroy the country. Are you the legendary barbarian princess? ’The people next door laughed, and in order not to be isolated, they had to struggle with each other, but only try to make fun of each other, pretending not to care. It's so boring. It's so sad! ”

The angry girl said the same thing, and from the looks of her breath, she seemed to suffer a lot.

After complaining, the unknown silence, everyone suffered a lot, but after looking for silence, I don't know who took the lead in lifting the glass, facing west of the city, where the military camp was headed.

“Thank you, Your Highness, for holding this flag for so many years... at least we're back, and there's a place for us to come back under that flag. So cheer up, everyone, for the future of our good life. ”

Even though the burden of life had crushed his waist, the young man's heart was not dead and he was still looking forward to a better tomorrow.

“Thank His Royal Highness the returning Roland for giving us reason to return... no matter what happens after that, at least I can die in my ancestral land. Guess we just need a reason to go home. ”

Middle-aged people are much more realistic, but the kind of awareness that even sacrifices can make people feel extra heavy and sad.

“Thank you... ’

Clearly the words of gratitude were spoken, but the more the toast was spoken, the more sad it was, so some people couldn't read it.

“Hey, don't talk like you're going to a prison, you didn't see the Return Day Festival that day. His Majesty's legions are super strong. The Knights of the Dead have been the elite of 100 wars for over 300 years. They are the spirits of our land of Lan! Building new regiments around them will be invincible, our country will only grow stronger and our days will only get better and better. ”

The one who suddenly intervened was not just bragging about how he had passed Guan Cut General but unfortunately missed Aiken. At this time, he took the initiative to come here.

“You guys, think too much. Oh, you don't know how powerful our new protector is, that dragon knight's dragon is so huge, bigger than the wall, you know who that is? He is the last Dragon Knight of the Land of Lan. His Royal Highness's knights are so powerful, he himself..."

Aiken boasted about the Return Day celebration and appearance, more than his own glory. Rumors were mixed up in real intelligence. The legendary story Zhang Guanlidai, it didn't take long, and I turned into a demigod monster with nine feet of waist circumference and nine wings to throw up fire in their mouth.

Returning travelers are already curious about what's happening these days, and even if Aiken's words contain blatantly wrong exaggerations and nonsense, they still hear more and more.

Under constant questioning from the audience, the more vigorous Aiken said, and when he said too much, there were others who intervened to correct it, and you said, I said, the atmosphere in the tavern was getting hotter and hotter.

“Say it! This opportunity is so difficult, so many Ace knights have formed their own legions, this is a handheld instruction, you don't even know that during that test, noble lords from all over the country came, but the same was brushed down. I, Aiken, am so close to being a knight to His Royal Highness as soon as I pass this level. It will be not only my personal honor, but also the honor of generations of my Edith family. If I can hear this news, I'm afraid my dead father will be happy to climb up! ”

“Go, I've missed so many choices, and blow my face. I don't think you can count on it. Go to the city defense force and be a big soldier. ”

“Well, you'll see, I won't be a knight. I swear I won't stop! After I toast, I'll try the newly formed Silver Cross. How dare you follow me? ”

“Don't you dare! Go with him!”

Well, these guys say red-eared, getting excited, hand dancing, foot dancing, just rushing out on the spot to sign up for the test.

“... the Silver Cross will learn to use elemental power. This is less than nine intellect, there is no way to pass. ”

The Silver Cross Regiment, the Magic Sword and Magic Gun Regiment being built by Fandak and Lanie, and after my Silver Sword Regiment was eventually ruthlessly rejected by all, that symbol representing the crossing of the Magic Sword and the Staff Cross became the name of this Regiment.

I already knew the selection criteria for that regiment, watched the strong man Aiken, who was still bragging around the crowd, shook his head, while not seeing that he could be elected, but smiled and left three copper coins on the table, ready to go.

“Aiken? Write it down, at least your mouth is smooth, but you can ask Kelly if she lacks propaganda talent. ”

At this time, my big swing was random, but I didn't have to worry about being recognized at all.

“Uncle, only two bronze coins a glass of fruit wine. ”

“Give you a tip, I'm happy today. ”

Yes, the teenager actually called me Big Brother, but because of my appearance at the moment, I really look like a middle-aged man.

Time-distorting rings that change the appearance age are the best disguise, just changing the age, putting on wigs and beards, and I don't believe anyone will associate a middle-aged knight with a bearded scum with Prince Roland.

Of course I'm happy. How can the lovely people of Lan in front of me be unhappy?

Strolling in the street, although it is not my task to observe the people's situation, the thriving and positive spiritual face of the people in front of me makes me more confident.

Even if the standard of living is still tough, even if the future is likely to face war, as long as the people believe that the future is good, the country will be better, then life will smile again, and as long as they trust me, I will be sure to take them out of the mud.

“Well, by the way, why don't you give me a mini-service interview, definitely not to escape the endless paperwork, administrative work, damn it, the army logistics, farming next year, are you going to tire me out? ”

Counting the time, now that the palace should have discovered my escape, it reminds me that Kerrido, who is often a “surprise”, is mostly taking over endless duties for me.

I'm considering the possibility of not staying home tonight, considering that Kelly will most likely take the initiative to find some "fun” after being buried in a bitter sea of resentment.

“Well, I don't want to be a handshake, I want to trust my subordinates to take the initiative, so let's just go back and say this... for safety's sake, or bring some dessert, I think there's a nice cake shop nearby. ”

Given Kellina's unpaid nature, I think it would be better to buy her a little, and according to past records, she should love sweets.

But then, looking for a cake shop first saw one. Of course, I was not in a bad mood. I didn't even know what to say when I looked at the sign in front of me.

[The Alliance of Absolute Gentlemen's Mercenaries under His Highness Roland is recruiting to serve His Highness? Want a chance to become a preferred candidate for the Royal Knights? Welcome to the Gentlemen's League! We are His Majesty's most trusted squadron and we can speak directly with His Majesty!

Well, the mercenary regiment that was happily established at the time, when I got to Diffund, I didn't really care, and once I quit management, then naturally I took over as deputy commander, looking at the mercenary regiment headquarters and people on those three floors, obviously this unknown organization has grown!

As for hiring under my banner, I don't have any opinions. After all, this mercenary regiment is still in my hands, but I'm not relieved, but...

[As long as you can prove that you are an absolute gentleman who understands true love, you can also become one of us without examination.

Don't they think there aren't enough freaks and gentlemen, and when I walk in angry, they hear more silent crying?

“Why, why refuse to join me? I'm a real * * * controller!! I'm not allowed to be. ”

“Huh, superficial, just passionate about a trait? Isn't that what anyone can do as long as it fits? You think a real gentleman is such a shallow thing? Your understanding of true love is too shallow! ”

Momo's outrage swept back and forth in the corridor, but I had an impulse to turn around and run.

“As I smell: all the faces are false. If all are different, then so be it. Young man, you are bewitched, possessed, a true gentleman, loved by the beauty of that false shell, and we have abandoned the illusion to the truth. You've lost your heart and you've lost your virtue for that characteristic. ”

Listening to this as if it were a high priest, I immediately beamed, and it took half a day to sort it out, but Casio's explanation reached his ear.

“Brother means that you are just a fake gentleman obsessed with a certain trait. A true gentleman loves something just because he loves it from the bottom of his heart, not just because of a temporary characteristic. True love comes from the heart, not from the outside. ”

Don't talk about the audience in the room. I'm stunned.

“Man is in love, alone, alone, alone, happy, without generations. Go on, we're on a different path! ”

“Brother means that we live in this world, but our hearts are lonely, and our desires are too special, because often our hearts and minds are difficult to communicate with, but you are not one of us, so please go. ”

Finally, I can't stand it. Is this with that? It's almost a gentleman's philosophy? Is this going to be a sadistic cult?

“Speak to me! ”

But when I just rushed in yelling, I immediately regretted it. When the door opened, Momo held me for a long time.

“Drink, little Lolo, I knew you were out the door! You've been waiting a long time. ”

As I resisted the entangled Knight of the Dark Elves, I heard a raging narrative going on over there.

“Everything works like a dream bubble. If dew is like electricity, it should be like watching! Good, I'm not alone! ”

“Brother, look which Momo, she doesn't even have to look at the naked eye, just by her instincts to look at all the illusions, she knows that the middle-aged man is her favorite right wife! That's the gentleman in the process. Wait... Sister Momo's favorite wife, isn't that... His Royal Highness! ”

“The wind screams! ”

“Brother means, run! ”

Well, watching this faint-hearted, bird-beast-scattered gentleman, I didn't run out of possibilities, except for that elf who was already haunting me like an octopus, a familiar figure.

“Roland!! Long time no see! ”

“Emila! ”

“The laws were born and the laws were extinguished. Your Highness, this woman has been with you for a long time, and you have been drawn to them. Dae-sun!”

“I mean, you're in big trouble...”

This time, Casio's explanation was finally interrupted.

“Shut up! Shut up! ”
