Chapter 619, the City with Every Inch of Land and Every Inch of Gold

The warm welcome of the Nuer people made Ryan and his party very proud, because maybe even if Karl Franz came in person, the proud Nuer people might not have such a grand welcome ceremony and such a big battle. , even the newly promoted Alfred felt good about himself, including Ryan, who was standing with Emilia, couldn't help being a little proud. He was holding little Frederick, and his son also straightened up proudly. chest.

The authorities were fascinated. At this moment, Suria, who was holding Little Devonhill in her arms, smiled and shook her head. The female knight knew everything clearly.

Actually Emilia played a little trick.

She took the child and appeared with Ryan. In this case, Nuer must also show the highest standard of courtesy and welcome to welcome their duchess and the heir of the duchess, and bring Ryan with her by the way.

So is Noor really welcoming Ryan?

Surya only responded with a sneer.

But something happened that Suria didn't expect. Emilia immediately sent little Frederick to Ryan's hands, and then hugged Suria very enthusiastically, with a bright smile on her face, making her Accepting the cheers from the people of her territory together with myself, the citizens of Nuer cheered louder and louder: "Sister Suria, do you like it?"

"Emilia...thank you." Suria could only show a slightly embarrassed yet polite smile, hugged little Devin Hill and Emilia, and accepted the cheers of the crowd.

Grand Marshal Erstein of Nur strode out. He saluted the Duchess of the Empire, and then a group of nobles from Nur. Each of these nobles wore sharp long swords and a standard firecracker. , Grand Marshal Nur with a big brown beard came to Emilia: "Your Majesty the beloved Countess, welcome back to your faithful Nur."

"Earl, is there anything going on in the city while I'm away?" Emilia asked lightly.

"No major events have happened in the city, but it is worth mentioning that the famous murder in Brunswick, that is, the massacre of the von Lack family, also affected the city." Generalissimo Ersch of Nuer Tyne didn't dare to neglect the Duchess of the Empire's question, and he immediately replied: "Both Baron Werner and his heir died in that disaster. The inheritance of the mansion is constantly being contested, and everyone is waiting for your judgment."

"I will give a fair judgment." Emilia said skillfully: "But I don't know anything about the situation at the moment. I must understand the process and result of the matter."

"Of course!" Erstein nodded, and his report was over.

"My Countess, in a few days it will be the birthday anniversary of the savior Ludwig." At this time, a righteous bishop wearing a black priest robe, holding a golden griffin and a double-tailed comet scepter Walking up, he has a big bald head, and he looks not young: "We hope you can host."

Kasmir IX, one of the two great chanters of the Justice Church and the person in charge of the Justice Church in Nur, is extremely powerful in this city, and even the Countess Emilia must consider His opinion: "Of course, I would."

"My Countess..." Various nobles and church personnel approached one after another, and expressed their requests to Emilia. It seemed that Ryan was ignoring Little Frederick, and he himself did not He didn't mean it, but he was teasing his son.

"Dad, look, mom is always like this, she doesn't play with me~" Little Frederick is very sensible, he shrugged his shoulders in a decent way: "And those uncles in black, they don't play with me, or Hello Brunswick, Godfather, Mr. Gelt, and Grandpa Ludwig will play with me~"

"I want to play, I want to play~" Little Devonhill also stretched out his two little hands, struggling in his mother's arms: "I want to play with Ami Donkey!"

"Ami Rabbit!"

"Ami Donkey!"

The quarrel between the two children made the big nobles present not only smile,

At this time, Theodore Bruckner, the senior officer of Nuer and the champion of Nuer, also came up: "Welcome to Nuer, Your Excellency Ryan."

"Hello, Theodore." Ryan had met Senior Judge Noor, and he nodded while hugging little Frederick who was climbing up and down in his arms, and he had greeted Mrs. Nuer .

"Okay, let's go in." Emilia finished dealing with the affairs at hand, and she immediately signaled everyone to enter the city. It can be seen that she is a little impatient with these things, but as the ruler of Nur, she must complete a series of things .

The brigade slowly drove into the city.

If the impression that Brunswick brought to Ryan was that it was crowded and noisy, that it was the magnificence and chaos that combined all the characteristics of human beings, and that it was a splendid and magnificent picture composed of virtues and vices under countless chaos and the appearance of all beings, Then Nur is a brilliant diamond cut extremely neatly.

The streets and buildings of the entire city are like a neat chessboard. Under the design of the planning and design masters of Nuer University, Nuer, an imperial gem, has been perfectly regulated to the extreme by the power of order. The streets are clean, orderly and straight , street lamps and flower beds, buildings of basically the same height, prosperous streets, and bright tones highlight the prosperity and vitality of the city.

And similarly, the whole city is full of black smoke, and the Nuer Military Factory is working at full capacity, producing a large amount of military supplies. Shrouded in acrid smoke. Ashes are like raindrops, falling from the sky from time to time.

Noor is a model of order, showing all the goodness of order, but also the necessary evil that belongs to order.

Many dwarf craftsmen settled here and opened foundry factories with the convenience of the Reik River, because the oak barges on the river brought a steady stream of ore and coal. At the same time, Nur was also the main temple and headquarters of Valenna, the goddess of justice.

"I would rather have a bed in Nur than a house in Wesson." Ryan rode on the body of the pure-blood elf war horse Putao, smiling and saying a word that has been popular in Nur for hundreds of years, the Duke turned towards his wife She blinked her eyes: "Sulia, guess how much gold kroner this house on our road is worth?"

"...500 gold crowns?" Su Liya hugged her son, and the female knight gave an answer casually. Ryan could see that she was a little upset because of being swayed by Emilia, so he also talked to her intentionally .

Five hundred gold crowns is enough to buy a nice two-story house in the capital of Brittania.

"No, guess again." Ryan still smiled: "It's low."

"One thousand?" Surya frowned.

"Twenty-five hundred gold kronor." Ryan laughed, pointing to a two-story house with a small courtyard on the street and said: "Just such a house, two floors, with 4-5 A room and a small courtyard cost 2,500 gold crowns to buy in Nur. Based on the annual salary of 50 gold crowns for a craftsman, he would have to save 500 years of salary without food or drink. Noor buys a house."

"... Is the land price so high in this place?" Su Liya was a little stunned when she heard the words, and the female knight thought that if she calculated it this way, the 10,000 kroner dowry Angron gave herself would only be enough to buy four houses in Nur?

"That's right, this is Nuer." Ryan nodded again and again, and he smiled more happily: "And Nuer is not like Brunswick, everyone is welcome to enter, there are only two ways to live in Nuer, One is to find a way to buy a house in Noor, but like I said, that’s a task that takes more than a lifetime for a lot of people.”

"The second way is to rent a house, apply for a temporary residence permit, and rent a house in Nur. Even for a small room, the annual rent is about 10-15 gold kroner, but this is the price you have to pay to stay in Nur."

"Even though the land price in this city is frighteningly high and the rent is ridiculously expensive, there are still countless young people who come here every year looking for opportunities." Alfred also smiled wryly. The Knight Commander of the Knights Templar recalled that even with his own salary, it would take him several years to buy such a house in Nur without eating or drinking. .

"Hey, Ah Fu, if you have a suite in Nur, it wouldn't be so troublesome at the Magritte State Hotel." Ryan remembered something, and smiled playfully: "I want to marry a nobleman from Nur Miss, you can’t do without a suite! Your Excellency Patriarch Alfred?”

"You can't do without a suite? What do you mean?" The female Norscan Ingrid obviously didn't understand, she yelled: "What are you buying for such an expensive thing? It can't become stronger, just have a place to sleep. ?”

"Hahahaha~" Ryan laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

"What are you laughing at?" Ingrid became a little annoyed. She knew that she was not Ryan's opponent, so she could only glare.

"Nur's conditions are like this." At this time, Emilia, the Countess of the Empire, who had dealt with everything, said with a smile: "Maybe for you Norscans, it is enough to have a place to sleep. But for the Nuer people, and even the entire human race in the old world, if the house is not their own, they can’t sleep well, or at least it’s not solid enough. They would rather spend decades and the accumulation of more than two generations to acquire a If you don't own a house, you won't be willing to use the money to enjoy it... Erstein, tell them, how much is your house worth?"

"My house is located in a corner of Nurnei City. It covers an area of ​​about one acre. There are fifteen rooms in the house, a stable and a courtyard. The estimated value is about 23,000 gold marks." Grand Marshal Erstein of Nur Yin replied respectfully: "But I want to correct a small mistake made by Your Excellency the Countess. I didn't buy my house, but obtained the ownership of this land through military exploits. I gathered people to build it. We agreed that, The house built is much more comfortable to live in than the house bought.”

"Twenty-three thousand gold marks..." Except for Ryan himself, everyone in his team felt pears.

But this is Noor, every inch is precious.

Across the Rick Bridge that spans the entire Nuer city, and beyond the shantytowns is the Temple University area, where many ancient famous schools of the empire are concentrated. Nuer, the academic center of the entire empire, was probably established here, as well as the Nuer military factory and the Nuer military factory. The Gun Academy, and the temple of the gods of the old world are also established here. Like Brunswick, Nuer also has a large zoo and a large wizard guild like the Imperial Royal College of Wizards. It can be said that this city As the capital is well-equipped, if Karl Franz wants to, he can move to Nuer to work tomorrow, of course, the premise is that Nuer's mistress agrees.

After the temple university area, in the northeast corner of the entire city, there is a wealthy area, where Nuer's nobles, generals, mage leaders, and the city council are located. After the city council is Emilia's elector Hou Palace, Emilia's palace has more than one hundred rooms, with independent city walls, bell towers, and towers.

Ryan and others naturally stayed at the Palace of the Elector.

Large room, luxurious wooden floor, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, various decorative sculptures and expensive oil paintings, Ryan leaned on the soft sofa chair with some relaxation: "It's really luxurious, my Duke's castle is completely inferior to this place , Emilia lives in a really nice place."

Devonhill and Frederick ran to play together as soon as they entered the palace. Little Frederick said that he would show his baby to little Devonhill, leaving space for the two adults.

"What? If you want, I think Emilia would like you to move here permanently." Suria sat opposite Ryan, and the female knight said with a half-smile: "At that time, I can only be with you. Devonhill mother and son lived together, and then missed his cruel father together."

"Suria!" Ryan was amused, and he shook his head again and again: "Do you think I am someone who would do such a thing?"

"Who knows?" The female knight shrugged meaningfully. She wanted to say something, but Ryan approached with a smirk, picked her up by the waist, and put her on his lap: "You are jealous, my lady."

"I didn't." Surya blushed and looked away.

"You're still jealous." Ryan smiled and reached out to brush her long golden curly hair, hugged her in his arms, and deeply inhaled the fragrance in her hair.

"She has an entire city, an entire province, tens of thousands of troops, and wealth that cannot be estimated at all." The female knight finally sighed softly, leaning on her husband's chest: "Her How much gold kroner is the palace worth, can you estimate?"

"A palace has a price, my wife, you are priceless." Ryan rolled his eyes and said affectionately: "No matter how good a palace is, it can't compare to you and Devonhill, where you are , is my home, and that's just my house, it's different!"

"Lyan~" Surya blushed, and stretched out her hand to twist Ryan's waist in reproach: "When did you learn these words to coax women? Why are you like the jesters in the noble court?"

"This is not coaxing you, this is a confession of true feelings." Ryan kissed his wife gently on the mouth, and suddenly became interested: "My wife, while Emilia is busy, the two children are together again Let's play, shall we go shopping together?"

"What are you going shopping for?" Su Liya also became interested.

"Walking around, by the way... Let's also check the mansion of the Von Lacker family and see if we can find any clues to the Carpe Die Association?"

"okay then!"
