Chapter 584 The Vision of the Empire!
As an imperial noble, Romeo had some integrity and didn't pester anyone.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't want to pay attention to him, he stood there, with a hint of surprise and disappointment in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and turned away.
The dignitaries who observed this scene all silently labeled the two newcomers as difficult to get along with.
In any case, Romeo was a handsome and good-natured imperial noble, and his ability was recognized by everyone.
The Romeo Chamber of Commerce under his control almost monopolized the trade of several nearby towns.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he was making a fortune and a rising star.
Except for his sexual orientation, which was somewhat different from ordinary imperial civilians, Romeo could be said to be a typical example of an excellent imperial noble.
Even such an imperial noble, Su Chen and Xiao Ningxue, two outsiders, were unwilling to get along with him.
It can be imagined how arrogant the two were and how difficult they were to get along with.
These imperial nobles were limited by their vision and information, and they were a little wrong.
The two did not reject Romeo out of arrogance.
They just felt from the bottom of their hearts that the two sides were not of the same kind, and it would be better not to have any relationship in the future, so they chose to leave.
It was indeed not very polite to leave without saying a word, but it could also play a good role in showing one's attitude.
I felt that the attention of many dignitaries was diverted from me and no longer paid attention to me.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and guessed the psychological activities of these people.
"It doesn't matter. Their attention is not only of no benefit to me, but all bad."
"It would be a good thing if they stopped focusing on me."
Thinking of this, Su Chen reached out, picked up a small cake with a fork, and put it into his mouth.
Most of the guests at this banquet had an unspeakable stench all over their bodies, but the food at this banquet was really good.
They were all small world delicacies that were difficult to buy in the outside world and only these dignitaries could enjoy.
There were many differences in the flavor of the food in the God Realm.
If you savor it carefully, you will find it has a special taste, which makes people feel happy physically and mentally.
At this time!
A heavy sound of footsteps came from the darkness.
Everyone focused their eyes on the general, wearing armor, holding his helmet under his armpit, with a solemn face and eyes straight ahead, walking step by step to the center of the banquet.
The silvery white moonlight hit here just right, and as the magic lights used for lighting around him went out one by one, the general's presence was highlighted.
Under the moonlight, the tall and burly general with a scar on his face and a calm and majestic temperament was like a god of war descending from the sky, with an extremely good temperament.
Everyone tacitly quieted down, except for a few people who whispered quietly in the darkness where the magic lights went out.
The general coughed, his eyes swept around, paused for a moment on Su Chen's face, and finally paused on the three old men.
Su Chen keenly observed that the pure black dresses worn by the three old men looked low-key on the outside, but were actually extremely exquisitely made.
Dark golden lines were drawn into a complex and complicated magic circle, covering the three old men.
Its color was perfectly hidden under the black silk thread, making it difficult to distinguish.
Xiao Ningxue said: "The effect of the magic circle should be self-cleaning, strengthening toughness, and stress-resistant protective shield."
"I saw in the newspaper that there are magicians selling services to make these magic circles, and the price is very expensive."
"A self-cleaning magic circle alone costs an ordinary dock worker thirty years of income without food or drink."
"They weave the magic circle into the clothes, which must be a more complex and expensive process. The cost is relatively much higher."
"Even the imperial nobles have to bite their teeth and spit blood to take out this money."
Su Chen immediately understood what Xiao Ningxue meant.
The clothing specifications of the three old men are the highest in the venue, even the generals can't compare.
They should be the largest imperial nobles in the city under the feet of the two, and there may be no one else.
"Baron John, Baron Morrodo, Baron Mobius."
"It is my honor that you three can come to the charity dinner tonight."
Sure enough, the general ignored the others and greeted the three barons first.
The three old men nodded, with amiable smiles on their faces, and responded to the general's greetings one by one.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the charity dinner seemed to become much more harmonious.
But then, the general's face changed, he stood up straight, and went straight to the point:
"The reason why I asked you all to come today is mainly to raise funds."
"This fund will be used to maintain the normal operation of the city, including the military expenses of this general's army."
"In addition, it also includes providing food, drink, defecation and urination for those imperial civilians during the blockade."
"This general is not a character who likes to talk nonsense, so let's start fundraising directly."
As he said, the general raised his hand.
Two soldiers hiding in the dark suddenly came out with a small table.
They placed the table not far in front of the general, one person spread out a notebook on it, and another took out a pen, ready to record something at any time.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all understood what the general meant.
It is not easy to take out a large sum of money at once, so the general thoughtfully prepared a check service for them.
They only need to make a promise with a few words, and the general's soldiers will fulfill their promise without them having to work hard!
With a cough, the general said expressionlessly: "As the leader of the army, this general also needs to do his part."
"How about this, from this general's private vault, allocate 3,000 gold coins as military expenses!"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed!
How big is 3,000 gold coins?
An ordinary imperial dock worker can earn about three imperial copper coins after a busy day.
Two hundred imperial copper coins are roughly equivalent to one imperial silver coin.
It takes about 1,200 imperial silver coins to exchange for one imperial gold coin!
And so on.
You can imagine what a terrifying number 3,000 gold coins is.
The general transferred money from his left hand to his right hand.
He said that he donated his own money, but in fact it was used as military expenses, and he could take it back at any time with any reason.
Of course, it doesn't matter how much money is donated.
These dignitaries are different.
Once the money is donated, it will probably be gone!
Now, the general deliberately donated so much money himself.
Isn't this just putting them on the fire?
It seems that if they don't spit out a mouthful of blood today, they will not be able to pass the test!
