Chapter 143 Human favor of the southern city-state
"Do you know? I heard that Marquis Rudolph is getting married!" An drunkard said to several other friends that this was the news he had only received, saying that the owner of Rome Island was preparing for his wedding.
"Yes, you just know? It has been prepared for several days. Another tablemate said, "I got the news yesterday."
"I don't know whose girl is so blessed that such a daughter is better than 100,000 gold coins." A man joked.
"100,000 gold coins? You poor man who has never seen the world, you have this daughter with at least 10 million gold coins!" Obviously, someone knows the market better than him: "Romai Island's annual income will never be less than 100 million gold coins, and those arms alone are profitable."
"Romai Island is too rich. After fighting on the southern front for so long, you can tell how many refugees and slaves have been wrapped up by Romai Island. Look, now the street is no different from before the war, and there are fewer beggars." Another person said enviously.
"Isn't it? The merchant ships on Rome Island never go back empty, either steel or crystal, and then there are a large number of slaves. However, I don't know why, the food is bought less and less. Is it eaten on Rome Island?" The person who just spoke said.
"Elf slaves have now become scarce, and dozens of gold coins can't be bought. Who dares to go to the elf forest? Each empire is stricter than the other. It really offends the elves. Where can I get the weapons? People who know the news of the market said.
"Do you know what happened to the pirate disaster a few days ago?" A curious man asked, wearing a sailor's blouse, which seemed to have not gone to sea for a while and was much cleaner.
"God knows what's going on. In the past few days, people who dared to go to sea have not encountered those sea monsters that roar loudly, and everyone thinks that the sea monsters have left this sea area. A few days ago, some people said that the sea monster came to mate in the past few months, and then returned to the deep sea. Another sailor-like man said.
"I don't know what it's like for the island owner's wedding on Rome. I want to see it." A young man said that his body was dirty and looked like a cooli.
"Get out of here, who doesn't want to go? I heard that tens of thousands of barrels of elf wine alone have been prepared." When it comes to elf wine, the drunken man's eyes shine.
"My God, tens of thousands of barrels? Let me go! Please, God!" Another drunkard prayed loudly and pointed the remaining half of the bottle at his mouth and filled it again.
"Forget it. If it works, I would have been invited long ago." The drunk with light in his eyes replied to him, and then fell asleep.
"I heard that the Marquess of Rudolph is the most beautiful woman in the world, and that woman can take people's souls away in the blink of an eye." The young gossip man continued.
"Nonsense, the bride of the owner of Rome Island is Meadow. I've seen it. It's indeed a beautiful girl. She and the island owner of Rome Island have known each other for a long time." A dock worker said with a proud face.
"Oh, I've heard what people say, hey hey." The young male worker smiled awkwardly and was not ashamed to spread rumors at all.
Similar talks filled the whole thunder province for a while, spreading all over the ports and docks of Mahu Port.
In the king's castle of the Principality of Luolei, the king of Luolei Province is discussing with his advisers about the upcoming wedding on Rome Island.
"For the sake of the gods, this is an important opportunity for us to please Rome Island, and we should congratulate them." An old minister said.
"Yes, we can prepare some gifts for the Marquis Rudolph." Another minister also suggested.
"He doesn't lack gold coins at all. You know, he is much richer than me. Of course, he can't send beautiful women. Send power? He can influence many empires. What power will he like here? The king suddenly found that the island owner of Rome was better than himself in all aspects, and he was a little jealous.
The ministers also feel that this gift must be given, but it is really difficult to choose a gift. The owner of Rome Island can be said to lack nothing. At a young age, he dominates one side. His men are loyal to countless times, and his financial resources are unmatched. The tree backed by the elf forest is powerful. Now he welcomes the wedding and embraces it beautifully. When I returned, I really couldn't think of what kind of gift I could send to impress the Marquis Rudolph.
"Your Majesty, we can give him a reputation!" Just when everyone was at a loss, a minister smiled very shamelessly and said that he was full of bad water.
"Quickly!" The king said quickly as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"We can ask for the name of a duke for him in the Southern City-state Council!" The minister said with a smile, "Grand Duke Rudolph, I think he will be interested."
"I'm just a duke! You idiot!" The king said angrily, "I'm 57 years old this year! Just got to the Duke's position! He just turned 22 this year! Are you going to become a grand duke?"
"Your Majesty, although he has a title, he doesn't have your land, does he?" The minister explained, "He only got a name at most, but we don't need to give anything. Isn't it a good gift?"
"Well, what you said makes sense. Well, just do as you said. Send two teams of envoys, one team to congratulate Grand Duke Rudolph, and the other team went to Cochi City to report this award to Speaker Meuse. I believe he will agree, hehe. The king also smiled and ended the meeting.
Soon, an envoy rode a high-headed horse to Cochi, the largest city in the southern city-state, where the city-state council is located. With the request of the Grand Duke of Luolei, they asked the southern city-states to promote the young and virial Marquis Rudolf Arcado as duke.
Before waiting for a reply, another envoy team to celebrate the wedding of the owner of Rome Island has set out. They set out with a congratulatory letter congratulating Duke Rudolph's wedding without any gifts.
The official envoy of Romem Island was sent to various empires and principality, announcing the wedding of the owner of Rome Island. The same envoy was also sent to the Elf Forest, and Harmon and others were invited to their wedding celebrations. But the envoy who went to the elf forest to deliver letters was left in the elf king city, because the elf queen's face was like frosty after reading the invitation, and her cloudy face was full of anger, tearing the letter paper in her hand to pieces. And immediately ordered the detainment of the envoys of Rome Island. Of course, Arcado is not aware of all this. He is busy being his own groom.
