Book of Gods and Demons

In the evening, at the foot of Mount St. Hild.

At the crossing of the mountain, in the grove on the side of the road, several carriages with imperial royal emblems inlaid on their doors were lined up and parked there.

Several royal knights stood idly aside, watching vigilantly not letting go of any wind and grass around them.

In the clearing surrounded by several carriages, Friedrich was holding a thick, large book with a cowhide cover, sitting on a pony, frowning and constantly turning the pages of the book.

After turning over a dozen pages, Friedrich cursed in a low voice, closed the book heavily, and threw it on the grass at his feet.

It can be seen that on the dark brown cowhide cover, a few lines of gilt characters are printed with the title of the book and the author's signature-"Discussion on the Command of the Battleship Fleet", the author is the first-class admiral Mayat of the Ice Sea Kingdom.

"It makes no sense, Lucien, it makes no sense."

Frederick exclaimed angrily: "The so-called large fleet, the total number of large and small caliber naval guns in the fleet exceeds 15,000... Among them, there are no less than sixty battleships at all levels. Damn it, sixty!"

Frederick stood up, drew out his sword, and cut off a small tree with the thickness of an arm around him.

His dark gray eyes flickered, and he roared angrily: "Ice Sea Kingdom, when it has begun to discuss the conventional tactics of the large fleet, the entire Deren Empire, emptied all the maneuvering power, can not piece together a large fleet!"

"Discussed the shipbuilding plan for twenty years, twenty years!"

"In the past twenty years, how many new-style warships have we launched in total? I can't bear to say that number."

"I can't understand why the equipment from the shipyard, the engineers, designers, and skilled workers that were stolen from the Kingdom of Saint Xia are actually controlled by the army?"

"It's so interesting. The army of a country controls the lifeline of the navy."

Lucien was sitting on another horse, reading the "Emperor Capital Daily" delivered by train this morning. The train speed is limited. The content in this newspaper is old news nearly ten days ago, and he still reads it with gusto.

After listening to Friedrich's rant and complaining, Lucien patted his head helplessly: "His Royal Highness, what can I do? I entered the Kingdom of Saint Xia, plundered those shipyards, and snatched back so many engineers, designers, and skilled workers. Yes, it is the Army."

"With that person's means, these resources are naturally under the control of the army."

"So, this is also one of the purposes that His Royal Highness allows you to come to Tulum Port-the Imperial Navy must have its own marine force. A navy with a lame leg cannot compete for that one anyway."

Friedrich put his saber in a big tree, he folded his hands on his chest and looked at the top of Mount St. Hilde: "Yes, this is one of the purposes of my coming to Tulum... Marine Corps Command Have you chosen the position of the player?"

Lucien smiled and nodded: "It's not bad. They assigned us the original Tulum Port Customs Building. It is a very strong fortress building, very practical and suitable for headquarters."

Frederick’s expression turned gloomy again: “I don’t like that building. I’ve been shelled and killed people... But, well, now Tulum Port, let’s not count. Wait, wait. After our Marine Corps' combat power has taken shape, we will come to care about these side matters."

On the bell tower of the cathedral, six bells ringed flutteringly.

Lucien stood up, took out a small gold pocket watch and looked at it, and said loudly, "Your Highness, get ready to go."

"The customs of the South, the coming-of-age ceremony for important members of the family, guests start to enter the venue in the afternoon, with refreshments, drinks, and beverages. It is a formal social tea party."

"Starting at six o'clock, preparations for the dinner party with the main goal of showing off financial resources will begin, and the main course will be cooked in public... I am curious what the main course of the Rittal family is preparing tonight."

"The dinner party officially starts at seven o'clock. The time from 6:30 to 7 o'clock is for the protagonist of the coming-of-age ceremony to perform a certain talent show. You know, it's like a male peacock opening the screen. This is to show off feathers and attract A means of the opposite sex."

"After a short dinner, the dance begins at 8 o'clock, and it lasts until late at night, even early in the morning."

Lucien put the small pocket watch back into his chest pocket, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's a very complicated and boring procedure, much more fancy than the adult banquet in the imperial capital. But understandable, isn't it?"

Frederick drew his sword and retracted it back into its sheath.

He said with heartfelt emotion: "Yes, understandable...they have money, so they can squander it wantonly. And we have to come to the door personally to give grown-up gifts to the son of a little hillbilly Jonker. "

Lucien sighed: "For the military expenses, your highness, for the military expenses."

Frederick sighed: "Yes, for the golden golden mark... the respectable grandmother back then, for the golden golden mark, to make concessions to those **** big rich men, in the traditional military aristocratic system of the empire. Besides, it opened up the chaebol and aristocratic system..."

"Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible." Friedrich shook his head painfully, and stepped into his carriage with sighs and sighs.

In the carriage, the well-dressed Henie Wei sat there with no expression on her face.

Frederick took a deep look at Henie Wei and said in a deep voice: "Dear Henie Wei, today, you can’t be willful. Laugh, you must smile brilliantly, and then go and get close to Joe’s mother, sister, and younger sister. ."

"I don't care what means you use, I don't care how humiliating you feel. In short, you have to eliminate your bad impression in their hearts."

"You want to be a friend of the ladies of the Rittal family, even if you can't be a caring girlfriend, you have to be their friend. Remember?"

Henie Wei closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them, and then smiled: "Dear Frederick, of course I know what I should do...for the navy!"

Frederick smiled, he gently patted Henie Wei's little hand, and said solemnly: "For the navy!"

Frederick sat heavily on the seat of the car. After a while, Lucien ran into the carriage. He smiled relaxedly: "The bigger the man, the later he will arrive. This is the privilege of the big man... just now The motorcades of the Marquis of Seak and the Duke of Ross have passed, and we can also set off."

"As the imperial royal family, you can't arrive earlier than them." Lucien whistled lightly.

"I agree with this point of view... If not, I would like to see Joe's talent show, we should press the line until seven o'clock before arriving." Friedrich shook his finger: "Lucien, do you think, our hillbilly What kind of talent show will Jonker's fat son give us?"

There was a brisk, ridiculous laugh from the carriage.

Several carriages left the grove and returned to the road outside, rushing briskly all the way towards the Vertu family mansion in the mid-levels.

Both the Marquis of Seac and the Duke of Ross passed one by one, so Frederick will undoubtedly be the latest guest to arrive...More than two hours in advance, he waited in the woods on the side of the road. Is this the effect?

On the grass in front of the main building of the Rittal House, the arrival of the Marquis of Siacques did not make any waves.

After all, he is right next to Hessian, surrounded by so many dukes and marquis families, among them, more than half of them have more power and influence in the imperial aristocracy than the Marquis of Seak.

It was the presence of Duke Ross that caused a small commotion.

Including the several big figures around Hessen, who were also from the Duke's family, followed Hessen and went to the gate in person, respectfully welcoming Duke Ross with his left hand bandaged.

Everyone knows that a free port and three provinces in the Southern Special Administrative Region are the territory of the Duke of Ross. No matter how powerful a noble family is, they must get the approval of the Duke of Ross if they want to share the benefits of Tulum Port. .

Duke Ross, who is surrounded by stars in the middle like a moon, is in a good mood. Wearing a red dress and hat with azaleas from the Scarlet Mountain, Duke Ross shook his small folding fan briskly and smiled happily.

"Hey, you are welcome, Joe is a cute and capable little guy, oh, I still remember the first time I saw him, he was just such a small little one."

"Unexpectedly, he will be an adult in the blink of an eye. It's incredible. Hey, I'm just here as an ordinary elder. Don't be restrained, celebrate and be happy."

"Your Excellency Rose is right, I am just an ordinary friend here." Friedrich's motorcade arrived just in time, and two dull-faced ceremonial officers shouted out a string of Friedrich's. Title, the red-faced Frederick walked out of the car with a loud laugh.

A low, exaggerated exclamation sounded from the crowd.

For the coming-of-age ceremony of the youngest son of the Ritto family, it is not counted that so many top nobles came, but there were also royal family members specially attending.

No matter what purpose these people came to Rittal's home, they attended Joe's coming-of-age ceremony.

Regardless of the reason, in short, Rittal’s influence in Tulum Port is now evident.

Hessen raised his brows and glanced at Duke Ross quickly.

Duke Ross smiled slightly ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and nodded lightly.

Hesse took the other six members of the Seven-member Committee, and a large group of leading figures in Tulum, enthusiastically greeted Friedrich.

"His Royal Highness, your presence has made the Rittal Family panic."

"Oh, no, no, Lord Hessian, just treat me as Joe's ordinary friend... From now on, I will be based in Port Tulum. I hope that I can truly become Joe's friend. What do you think?"

Hessian bowed at ninety degrees and assured Friedrich: "This is a matter of course. Please come in, Your Highness."

After busying for a while, when Hesse accompanied Frederick and Duke Ross back to the main building, Joe, who was forcibly dressed up to show off, was walking out of the porch of the main building and walked up to the porch of the main building. A high wooden platform.
