The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

"Fresh vegetables and fruits are sold cheap."

"Hey, the one over there, the one who looks very strong, our engineering team is short of people, and the meal is provided and the treatment is favorable, so come or not."

"Hey, freshly baked bread, buy one get one free, which knight brother, knights are half price, would you like some? Yes, two copper coins."

"Tam? Your family is back! Great, just come back, just come back! Don't you plan to leave this time?"

Walking in Donglan City, I saw the busy crowd, the motorcades coming and going, the construction sites under construction everywhere, and a smile from the bottom of my heart could not help but appear on the corner of my mouth.

Rome was not built in a day. Even if a large amount of money is invested regardless of return, the current urban reconstruction project is still in the cleaning and transformation of the old city, and the supply of materials only slightly improves the living standards of the people. In fact, the living standards The improvement is not big, but what makes me happy is the mental outlook of the people who have gradually improved.

Donglan Principality traveled north all the way, saw enough suffering and misfortune, and felt worse and worse.

After encountering misfortune, people always have a bitter look on their faces, and even more distressing numbness and bewilderment in their eyes. I know that when a person has no expectations for the future, when he is sure that life will only get worse At that time, no matter how strong that person is, his mental outlook will still get worse and worse, and he will not even have a future for himself, so naturally he will become more and more indifferent to others.

reason? Probably it's just that this troubled country will encounter new catastrophes.

In that year, Lan country was overthrown, but they did not fall, and they did not separate during the nearly hundred years of losing their homeland. Two hundred years ago, Dong Lan was gradually eroded by the war of neighbors, but they still persisted, more than 20 years ago. Having lost the last piece of mining area they depended on for survival, they are still struggling. A year ago, when the old emperor died in battle. They risked their lives to follow the fourteen-year-old princess in a desperate charge and achieved a miraculous victory.

They are not supermen with iron will, they are just mortals who miss their homeland. Perhaps this deserted northern land is just a useless wild land in the eyes of outsiders, but for the people who have lived here for generations, this land remains Too much nostalgia and reluctance.

Outsiders can't understand these northerners' nostalgia for their homeland. Perhaps, they are as strong and unchanging as the northern glaciers, just because they are rooted here, and the stubborn souls of the northerners hope to stick to the homeland created by their ancestors.

"As long as we don't starve to death. As long as the flag doesn't fall down, we can grit our teeth and survive."

But not long ago, they finally couldn't stand it any longer. During the year from the death of the old emperor to Renee's return with supplies,

Many people finally left helplessly because of their choices.

I know. It's not their fault, and they haven't broken their vows.

The people of Lan are never afraid of sacrifice and war, they are only afraid of not seeing the future.

When the shadow of the war faded, the devastated farmlands and villages turned into a desperate situation, and the winter was approaching. The wolves looked around, but the family didn't even have rice for the winter. When familiar neighbors starve to death or freeze to death on the street, and when the life-saving food for this winter has not yet arrived, even optimistic people will also consider their own future.

"It doesn't matter if I die, but my boy, he's not wrong at all."

No one can watch their children starve to death in front of them. The people of Lan who left could not be blamed at all. Even though they knew that they would never be able to return after leaving this time, and most of them would die on the dangerous road, they still had no choice but to choose to leave in three steps.

What is more cruel and ironic is the departure of these people. Instead, the originally insufficient disaster relief food played a greater role. Last winter was the least dead in recent years.

No one can be blamed for this cruel reality. If one insists on finding a scapegoat, it may only be the Lanzhi royal family who did not shoulder the duty of protection. that generation.

Therefore, even though Orlando had guessed that Orlando had some bad intentions, Renee, the descendant of Lan, did not even hold the ceremony of enthroning as queen, but still gritted her teeth and embarked on the journey. After all, if you do nothing, you are dead. If you have a glimmer of hope, you can fight for it.

It should be said that there is no unparalleled road... If I regain my physical body and return to the surface one year later, I am afraid that there will be no Donglan Principality by then. If it is not angry at the aggressiveness of the Oran Empire, it is impossible to meet Renee up.

But at this time, after the lively and noisy homecoming ceremony the day before yesterday, many things have changed. At least, everyone's eyes are less dazed, and they have more expectations for a better future.

"Did you see it? The old city in the west of the city over there has been converted into a military camp group, which is the legion of His Royal Highness Roland."

"Back then, I was the first to arrive at the recruiting site, but it's a pity that I was just a little short of passing."

"Blow it up, who doesn't know that although there are many legions and battle groups that have already started recruiting, the threshold is actually very high. The first level is the physical fitness test. How many sandbags can you carry, skinny and monkey-like? The first level It was brushed down, and it was almost blown?"

"I know so clearly, don't you also..."

"I've made it to the third round at least! I, Aiken, don't intend to give up. As long as there is another legion, I will try again. If it doesn't work, I can go to the city defense army to be the leader! By the way, there is also the Church of the Law , They also recruit people. It is said that they will also teach combat skills."

Obviously the same was brushed off, but the strong man Aiken showed off proudly, and the surrounding crowd also exclaimed, as if they saw some great strongman.

The country is weak but the people are in danger, and the people of a weak country are cheap. No nation understands this truth better than the devastated Lan people. Even after the Church of the God of Law is established as the state religion, Donglan has become a permanent neutral country in a sense. But everyone can understand the harsh reality. The northern orcs may go south at any time, and the neighboring countries around them are ready to move. If you don't hit others, others will come to beat you.

In this world where the law of the jungle is the mainstream, if you want to achieve true neutrality, you must have the powerful force to maintain absolute neutrality in the chaos.

The establishment of each legion now will become a reason for all the citizens to rejoice. After all, this shows that the soldiers who protect themselves are stronger and the country is becoming stronger. At the same time, these new legions can also give young people enough Development opportunities.

Avalanche defenders, long wind knights, legendary names and occupations jumped out of history one by one, and those legendary heroic deeds are attracting every young person. They also look forward to making history with their own hands.

Although serving as a soldier in the past was very enthusiastic, but it could only be said to be for a living, but now, it is under the premise of protecting the family and the country. Looking for a future, the enthusiasm of the two is completely incomparable.

And when the citizens are proud to serve in the army, it is enough to prove their confidence in this country. Of course, this is their confidence in me, the legendary Paladin Prince Roland.

This is not the happiest thing, but the most impressive thing, I am afraid that the people of Lan who left before began to return to their homeland.

And when word spreads that the legendary Prince Roland returns with his legions, his homeland comes alive again, even if the situation remains uncertain. Lan Zhimin still chooses to return, and every day there are motorcades and individuals returning to their homes.

Outside the gates of the city were already crowded with all kinds of carriages and travelers waiting to enter the city, and the streets were full of returnees who were full of hard work but with happy faces, "How are you all, I'm finally back." "I'm back? Come back I’ll be fine. I’ll be fine when I’m back.” Responses came one after another, and the returning travelers were curious about every change, not uncommonly pointing at the flag of the legion, and it’s not uncommon to catch acquaintances and ask them to the end.

This is just the beginning, the only people who have time to return now are the immigrants from neighboring countries who have not gone far, and as the news spreads, I am afraid that the people of Lan who have left this country in the past 20 to 30 years. They will all consider whether to return, and as the battle flag of Lan is raised again, the people of Lan who have been separated and separated will surely reunite again.

And not far from me, a group of travelers who have just returned, some wearing thick cotton caps, some wearing light feather caps. Judging by their completely different attire, they obviously returned from different countries.

Originally, it was probably just people who had just returned home talking about their feelings in a foreign land, but in the end, it turned into a complaint meeting.

"...even if you are lucky enough not to encounter wild animals and robbers. After completing a long-distance migration and not being pushed to the limit, who wants to leave their hometown. Is it good to live a completely unfamiliar life in a foreign place with a strange language? That kind of local people always staring at you with the eyes of thieves and barbarians, does that feel good to you? That sense of isolation when you open your eyes and look around is all foreigners and foreign languages, sometimes It was so disorienting, it made me feel suicidal."

It was a young man, but from the dark bags under the eyes, depressed face, calloused hands and rough skin, he looked like an old man in his forties or fifties. Apparently there is a feeling of aging beyond the actual age.

"When you are discriminated against and bullied because of your foreign accent, you don't even dare to argue. Who can understand the kind of aggrieved annoyance. In the heavy work of making a living, the lonely nights spent alone on festivals in my hometown, I miss my hometown and my hometown. You can’t sleep at night with your family and friends, who can feel the feeling of being torn apart between the ups and downs. And as long as you show it, you are more obviously different.”

This middle-aged man, who is in his prime and should be the most able to work hard, is also average. As he talked, recalling those past events, he slapped the wooden table with his wine glass angrily.

"I finally made new friends. During the chat, I said unintentionally, 'Dong Lan? Oh, I know, it's the barbarian tribe that is about to destroy the country. Are you the legendary barbarian princess?", the next Everyone laughed, but in order not to be isolated, they were so angry that they wanted to fight each other desperately, but they had to try their best to apologize and pretend not to care. It's so embarrassing and uncomfortable!"

The girl who was filled with righteous indignation said the same thing. Judging from her angry appearance, she seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances.

After complaining, there was an inexplicable silence, and everyone suffered a lot, but after finding the silence, no one knew who took the lead and raised the wine glass, facing the west of the city, which was the direction of the barracks.

"Thanks to Her Royal Highness who has held up this flag for so many years... At least, we are back, and there is still a place for us to come back under that flag. So, everyone, be happy, and cheers for our better life in the future Bar."

Even though the burden of life has crushed his waist, the young man's heart is not dead yet, and he is still looking forward to a better tomorrow.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness Roland for giving us a reason to return... No matter what happens afterwards, at least I can die in the land of my ancestors. Probably, we just need a reason to return home."

Middle-aged people are more realistic, but the awareness that even sacrifice is okay makes people feel extraordinarily heavy and desolate.

"grateful......'

It was obviously a word of gratitude, but the toast became more and more sad, so some people couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey, hey. Don't say it's like going to the execution ground right away. You didn't see the return day ceremony that day. His Royal Highness Roland's legion is super powerful. Those undead knights are elite soldiers who have fought for more than three hundred years. They are all from us. The heroic spirits of the country! With them as the core to build a new legion, it will be invincible, our country will only become stronger and stronger, and our life will only get better and better."

The one who interrupted suddenly was not Aiken who was bragging about how he passed the test but was unfortunately defeated. At this time, he took the initiative to come over.

"You guys, think too much. Hehe, you don't know how powerful our new guardian is. The bone dragon of the dragon knight is so huge, bigger than the city wall. Do you know who it is? He is our The last dragon knight in the Land of Misty Kingdom, the knights subordinate to His Royal Highness Roland are all so powerful, he himself..."

Aiken boasted about the Homecoming celebration and appearance. He is even more proud than his own glory. All kinds of rumors are mixed with the real information, and all kinds of legends are crowned and worn. It didn’t take long for them to become a nine-foot waist, nine heads and two wings that can breathe fire. Demigod monster.

The returning traveler was already full of curiosity about what happened these days, even though Aiken's words contained obviously inappropriate boasting and nonsense. Still getting more and more excited.

Under the constant questioning from the audience, Aiken became more and more energetic. When he said too much, others interrupted and corrected him. The atmosphere in the tavern is getting hotter and hotter.

"Say it! How difficult this opportunity is. So many ace knights form their own legions, and they are all taught by hand. You don't know that during the test, nobles and lords from all over the country came. But they were all rejected. Come down. I, Aiken, are actually just a little short every time. Maybe as long as I pass this level, I can become a knight under His Royal Highness Roland. That will not only be my personal glory, but also the honor of my Edith family. The glory of the times, if you can hear this news, I am afraid that the dead father will be happy to get up!"

"Go ahead, you have been defeated so many times, and you still have the face to brag about. I think you have no hope, go to the city defense army and be the leader."

"Hmph, just wait and see, I won't give up if I don't become a knight! After I finish this cup, I'll try it in the newly formed Silver Cross Squadron. Do you dare to follow?"

"What dare not! Go together!"

Well, these guys were blushing, getting more and more excited, and dancing, and almost rushed out to sign up for the test on the spot.

"...The Silver Cross Squad must learn to use elemental power. This guy's intelligence is less than nine, it is absolutely impossible to pass."

The Silver Cross Group is the Magic Sword and Magic Spear Group that Fendak and Lani are preparing to build. After my Silver Sword Group was ruthlessly dismissed by everyone, the crossed long sword and staff that represent magic and martial arts The emblem became the origin of the name of this battle group.

I have known the selection criteria of that battle group for a long time. I looked at the strong man Aiken who was still boasting among the crowd, and shook his head. While not optimistic that he could be selected, he smiled and left three Copper coins, ready to check out and leave.

"Aiken? Let's write it down first, at least he has a sharp tongue, but you can ask Kelly if there is a shortage of publicity talents."

At this time, I swaggered and wandered around at will, but I didn't have to worry about being recognized by others.

"Uncle, a glass of fruit wine is only two copper coins."

"Let me give you a tip, I am happy today."

Yes, that teenage brother actually called me big brother, but because of my current appearance, I really look like a middle-aged uncle.

The Time Distortion Ring that changes the age of the appearance is the best disguise. Just change the age, put on a wig and a fake beard, I don't believe that anyone will associate a middle-aged knight with a beard with Prince Roland.

Of course I am happy, the lovely Lan Zhimin in front of me, how can people be unhappy.

Walking in the streets, although it is not my task to understand the people's sentiments, the thriving and positive spirit of the people in front of me gives me a little more confidence.

Even if the standard of living is still difficult, even if there is a possibility of war in the future, as long as the people believe that the future is bright and the country will become better, then no matter how hard life is, they can face it with a smile. As long as they trust me, I will It is sure to lead them out of the quagmire.

"Well, let's take a private visit with a micro-service. It's definitely not to escape the endless clerical and administrative work. Damn, let me have a look at the army's logistics and farming in the coming year. Are you planning to exhaust me?"

Count the time. Now the palace should have discovered my cheating, and remembered that Kelly, who often "surprises" people, is probably handling endless business affairs on my behalf.

Considering that Kaili will probably take the initiative to find some "fun" after being buried in the sea of ​​bitterness full of resentment, I am considering the possibility of not returning home tonight.

"Well, I'm not being a hand-off shopkeeper, but trusting my subordinates to take the initiative to delegate power. Let's just say that when I go back... To be safe, I'd better bring some desserts to coax you. I remember there is a good cake nearby. store."

Considering Kelly's deceitful temperament, I think it's better to bribe her a little bit. According to past records, she should have a sweet tooth.

But then, when I was looking for a cake shop, I saw one first. Of course, I was in a good mood and looked at the sign in front of me. I don't even know what to say.

[The Absolute Gentleman Alliance mercenary group directly under His Highness Roland is recruiting, do you want to serve His Highness Roland? Want to get the chance to be a priority cadet of the Royal Order? Welcome to the League of Gentlemen! We are His Highness's most trusted subordinate war group, we can talk to His Highness directly! 】

Well, the mercenary group that was established on a whim at the time was not in charge of it when we arrived in Defende, and once I quit the management, it was natural that Beifeng, who was the deputy head of the group, would take over. Looking at the three-story mercenary group headquarters and the people coming and going, it is obvious that this inexplicable organization has been strengthened by it!

As for recruiting people under my banner, I don't have any objections. After all, the mercenary group is indeed still in my hands, but I don't worry about it. But still...

[As long as you can prove that you are also an absolute gentleman who understands true love, you can also directly become one of us without inspection. 】

People don't know how to complain about this recruitment notice, don't they think there are not enough freaks and gentlemen, and when I walked in full of righteous indignation. But he heard even more speechless cries.

"Why, why did you reject me to join? I am clearly a real big breast connoisseur!! I am not tolerated by the world."

"Hmph, superficial, love only because of one characteristic? Doesn't that mean that as long as they meet the characteristics, anyone can do it? Do you think a real gentleman is such a superficial thing? Your understanding of true love is too superficial!"

Momo's angry scolding echoed back and forth in the corridor, but I had the urge to turn around and run.

"This is what I heard: All appearances are false. If you see that there are no appearances, you will see the Tathagata. Young man, you have fallen into a demon, and you are a true gentleman. What you love is the beauty in the false shell. We abandoned the virtual image and went straight to the real. But you lost your heart because of that feature, and you fell into a lower position."

Hearing the words of an eminent monk, I was immediately stunned, and it took me a long time to straighten it out, but Casio's explanation had already reached my ears.

"Brother, what you mean is that you are just a fake gentleman who is paranoid about a certain characteristic. A real gentleman loves something only because he loves it from the bottom of his heart, not just because of a temporary characteristic. True love comes from the heart, and Not appearance."

Not to mention the audience in the room, I was taken aback by what they said.

"People are in love and desire, come and go alone, live and die alone, suffer and enjoy themselves, and there is no substitute. Go, my way is different!"

"Brother means that we live in this world, but we are lonely in our hearts. What we long for is too special, because it is often difficult to have a close friend who can talk to us about our thoughts, but you are not our fellow, so Please go."

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, this is that and that? This is almost becoming a gentleman's philosophy? If this continues, is it necessary to set up a cult of worshiping the sad wind?

"Speak human words to me!"

But as soon as I rushed in with a roar, I immediately regretted it. As soon as the door opened, Momo, who had been waiting for a long time, hugged me.

"Haha, Little Luoluo, I knew you were outside the door! I have been waiting for you for a long time."

While resisting the dark elf knight who was entangled, I heard the irritating commentary that was still going on.

"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles. They are like dew and electricity, so you should observe them like this! Goodness, my way is not alone!"

"Brother, what do you mean, Momo, she doesn't use the naked eye at all, she sees through all the illusions just by intuition, and knows that the middle-aged man is her favorite wife under the surface! This is the gentleman who is right. Wait a minute ...The eldest sister Momo's favorite wife, isn't that...His Royal Highness Roland!"

"The wind is blowing!"

"Brother means, run!"

Well, looking at these guilty gentlemen who are scattered like birds and beasts, I have no possibility of killing them all. Except for the female elf who has been entangled with me like an octopus, it is that familiar figure.

"Roland!! Long time no see!"

"Amyra!"

"All dharmas are born by fate, and all dharmas are destroyed by fate. Your Highness Roland, this lesbian has been here for a long time, and you are indeed attracted by her fate. Great kindness!"

"Brother, you are in serious trouble..."

This time, Casio's commentary was finally interrupted.

"Shut up!" "Shut up!", ()
