Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 96

  Chapter 96 Earl Stewart

  When David found the office in Wangdu that was responsible for handling pioneering affairs, and handed over his materials and application, he only got one reply: leave the address and wait for the notification.

   "Fortunately, there are gold and jewels given by Varian." After hearing the reply from the reception staff, David knew that this matter might not be so easy to accomplish, and he might not waste much time in the capital.

  And the capital will not provide any board and lodging for David, Sharon, and Newton. Personal problems such as living and eating must be solved by David himself.

   Fortunately, David brought a lot of gold and jewels when he came out this time, and Newton led the two of them. After exchanging all these things into the currency of the Kingdom of Tilan, they had the foundation to live in the royal city for a long time.

   "The outer city saves money, but the staff here don't go to the huge, chaotic outer city to find people."

  David and others can only choose to live in the expensive inner city, but it is not easy to live in the inner city, and it is not enough to have money.

   "You need to issue a certificate."

  The hotel owner told David that if he wanted to live in the inner city, even if it was only a short-term stay, he must have an official certificate to prove that David was staying in the inner city reasonably before he could stay in the hotel here.

   In addition, it is also possible to have a guarantee from a local noble in the capital. The guarantee of the noble has the same effect as the official certificate.

   Helpless, David had to go to the development affairs department again, and asked the reception staff to help issue a certificate, for which he spent a little extra gold coins.

   Seeing the satisfied smile on the other party's face, David also inquired by the way, under normal circumstances, how long would it take for the application document to be approved?

Maybe it was because the light of the gold coins was too dazzling. The receptionist who was confused told David in a much gentler and kinder tone than before: "There is no exact time for this matter. If you are lucky enough to be noticed by the people above, It will be processed in two or three days; if you are unlucky, it is not surprising that it has been left there for several months without any response."

   Moreover, David wanted to 'declare his allegiance to His Majesty the King' this time, so this matter was a little more troublesome-if the upper-level officials who dealt with it thought it was such a trivial matter, they still wanted to obey His Majesty the King? It is not impossible to just throw this application aside and eat ashes.

   "Understood, thank you!"

   Reaching out to shake hands with the other party to express gratitude, the reception staff had some doubts in their eyes, but disappeared after feeling the hard touch from the palm, and returned with a brighter smile.

   It's just a smile, and I didn't mention half a word about asking for help.

  David cursed inwardly, then left the office with a smile on his face.

  No matter what, the certificate was issued at any rate, and then I took the certificate to the hotel to book a room, and paid a one-month deposit directly.

   "Pay a one-month deposit directly? Do we have to stay here for that long?" Sharon looked at the environment of the hotel and was very satisfied with the condition of the room.

  The decoration is very simple and very clean, the furniture does not feel damaged and old, the bedding is almost new, and there are even green plants in the room, I don't know where the boss got it? The weather is just starting to warm up now, right?

   Several people booked a suite, which has three bedrooms, a shared living room, a simple bathroom and toilet. The toilet will be cleaned every once in a while to ensure that it will not affect the guests.

  This kind of environment and service is indeed worthy of the high accommodation fee.

"I don't think it's possible to get things done in a month." David is also very satisfied with the environment here. The price is a bit expensive, but he is not short of money now: "I am looking forward to it now, and someone will come to find something quickly coming."

According to Newton, the Kingdom of Tilan respects the strong and places great value on those with strength. David wondered if there were any noble children who suddenly wanted to take part in the scene of robbing women because of Sharon's beauty. In the end, he was beaten to the ground by the beauty Sharon. Such an interesting anecdote may attract the attention of some people, and then notice that he, the village head of Winter Village...

   "Wait, is there something wrong with this plan?"

   "What's wrong?"

"According to the development of the traditional story, shouldn't you stand up and overthrow the nobles who want to **** me, stage a hero to save the beauty and attract the attention of the big shots?" Sharon listened to David's plan while eating. Hearing and hearing, why is he busy with work? David, the official village head, was actually watching the fun from the sidelines the whole time?

"That kind of story is too clichéd." The Kingdom of Tilan has been strong for so many years, and it is estimated that such things as heroes saving the beauty have happened countless times. In comparison, there is no beauty who should be the victim who directly kills the other party. Attract attention?

  Even though this is a world with mysterious power, in most people's minds, beauties are generally to be protected, not to stand out and protect others.

   "Well, it makes sense." Sharon inserted a piece of meat, put it in her mouth and chewed slowly a few mouthfuls: "Then what should I do? Wandering around the city?"

  Since she wants to make some noise and attract some people's attention, then Sharon can't hide in the hotel and not go out, otherwise, no matter how good-looking she is, no one will see her!

"No, if my guess is right, someone will take the initiative to send you to your door to be beaten soon." David took a sip of the juice, and then looked at the thing in his hand with satisfaction: "This is good, it tastes as good as it tastes." Like grape juice, what is this?"

  Nearton next to him was concentrating on destroying the food in front of him. After hearing David's question, he turned his head and glanced at him, then stared at David with an expression of caring for the mentally retarded: "Grape juice."

   "..." David coughed a few times to ease his embarrassment, and he couldn't explain why he asked such an imbecile question. He didn't even know that there were grapes in this world, after all, he had never seen them in Iron Tree Fort.

  The country bumpkin's label couldn't be removed at all. David ate quietly, and then waited for the fish to take the bait.

  Unexpectedly, the fish took the bait faster than he expected. Before the meal was finished, someone came to the hotel and asked to see Sharon by name—the guard asked for his name when he entered the city.

The door of the apartment was knocked. David was waiting for the other party to open the door and come in. Unexpectedly, the other party was very polite. Seeing that there was no response, he knocked a few more times, and did not open the door until David said please come in. walk in.

   "Oh, I'm sorry to disturb your meal."

A handsome long-haired man walked in. He looked about 30 years old. He was wearing a gorgeous dress and shiny leather boots on his feet. When he came in, he saw several people eating and immediately expressed his gratitude. apology.

   "Sincere apologies for my presumptuous visit."

  Waving his hand, the attendant behind him walked up to the man with a box in his hand, then held the box in front of him, and opened the lid.

  There are necklaces, earrings, and rings all made of rubies, which are obviously a complete set of jewelry.

  Sharon sat across from David, and both of them were facing the door. At this time, she got up slightly and approached David, complaining in a low voice: "This scene seems to be different from what you planned."

   "Excuse me..." Of course David noticed this, but what could he do? Isn't the Kingdom of Tilan being complained about as barbarians by people from many countries? Why are everyone so polite?

"In front of you is Earl Sutton Stewart of the Kingdom of Tilan." The attendant holding the gift box solemnly introduced the identity of his master to David and the others, and at the same time reminded David and the others that they should treat the Earl as they should. respect.

  David and Sharon had already left the dining table, got up and walked to Earl Stewart and gave a simple salute.

  The etiquette actions of the two are not very standard, let alone respectful, but this Earl Sutton Stewart doesn't care about such trivial matters at all.

  Since entering this room, Sutton Stewart's eyes have been on Sharon, and the expression on his face that he saw his favorite prey is very obvious. As for David and the old alchemist Newton beside Sharon, he wasn't even interested in glancing at them.

   "Nice to meet you, beautiful lady, welcome to Tilan, if possible, I sincerely invite you to have dinner."

   "This..." Sharon didn't know how to deal with it. If the opponent came in very forcefully, it would be easier to deal with the posture of trying to **** her away, just roll up her sleeves and start fighting.

  Now the other party came up and apologized first, then gave her a gift, and then politely invited her to dinner. She couldn't just go up and punch someone, right?

   "What should I do?" She asked David next to her in a low voice. She thought maybe she could accept the invitation? Anyway, it's just a meal: "This man seems to be very talkative, maybe I can ask him to help me during dinner?"

   "Don't rush to agree, just take a few words to see the situation." David coughed a few times, trying to pull the attraction of the man whose eyes were locked on Sharon's body: "My lord earl."

"Oh?" Sutton Stewart heard someone calling himself, even though he was busy looking at Sharon, this wonderful new prey, he still parted his eyes and glanced at the side from the corner of his eye. After the glance, he immediately turned his attention The force turned to David: "This is David, right? The village chief of Cold Winter Village."

"Yes."

   "I was too rude just now, I hope you don't take offense." While speaking, he gently waved his hand to the attendants behind him, and immediately another attendant came out, holding a long box in his hand. Open the lid of the box, revealing the gorgeous long sword inside: "This is a meeting gift for Mr. Village Chief."

  After that, Earl Stewart's eyes seemed to be shining, and he looked back and forth between Sharon and David: "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite the two of you to have dinner with me?"
