Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 624
On December 12, Valkyrie Kesha left Faroland.

No matter how much nostalgia and reluctance she has in her heart, she still walks without delay.

Even when she walked so simply and freely, it gave Ren a feeling that he was kicked out by the Valkyrie...

Then there was no accident, once he returned to before liberation, he lived a miserable life of living alone again, with no one to wash and cook, no one to share the same bed, no one to talk to each other... Food and living depended on himself .

"Degenerate, it seems that the sugar-coated shells of decadent capitalism have eaten too much."

Suddenly, Ren, who was not used to being taken care of by anyone, sighed.

As for his servants and subordinates, they were naturally on vacation too.

Although the cold peak is on the street, but the Chinese New Year is about to come, Ren, as the kingdom's conscientious entrepreneur, social activist, philanthropist, and model of the new aristocracy...he generously gave the cowboy Garcia and the maid Beatrice their annual leave.

But there is no need for him to return to Bushen City himself.

Although he is from Bushen City, Miss Catherine is no longer here. He doesn't even have a property there, and he dropped out of school, so there is no need to go back.

Therefore, he was left alone in the entire villa for the time being.

However, Ren is not really alone. Arturia is about to go home to spend the New Year with him.

Although it is not the Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year still needs to be celebrated more or less.

So, Ren announced that he was healing at home. Two days later, he found some people to repair the courtyard and walls that were damaged due to the battle with Hanfeng.

"It's time to buy some new year's goods. The market will be closed soon. Although I have stored some ingredients and drinks before, but the foodie king is going home, I'm afraid it's not enough..."

Ren remembered the terrifying appetite of King Dumb Mao, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He found an interesting thing before.

When he was at home with the girl, the ingredients in the refrigerator seemed to be consumed faster than when he lived in the villa with six or seven servants...

"I think she not only has the heart of a dragon, but also the appetite of a dragon!"

Can't help complaining, facing a full-length mirror, Ren put on hairspray and sprayed on men's perfume.

Then, wearing a suit and leather shoes, he put on his tie, picked up the silver inlaid mahogany cane beside the hanger, put on the jazz brooch, and left the gate of the small villa.

However, before Ryan got into the carriage, a group of "sharks" who smelled blood quickly surrounded him.

"Master Ackerman, hello, I am a reporter from the Faroran Post, may I interview you?"

"Hello, Sir Ackerman, I am a reporter from People magazine. We want you to be on the cover of the next issue of the magazine, is that okay?"

"Young Master Ackerman, hello, I am a reporter from the Wisteria Daily..."

……

As soon as Ren ran out of the villa, he was almost blinded by the flashing lights.

A group of reporters and photographers with cameras or notebooks seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and they immediately crowded up. There were more than a hundred people than last time.

'Could it be that I'm so handsome that I've become a traffic star? '

The attitude of the reporters made Renn a little suspicious-whether he was too popular recently, or the reporters were full.

In fact, he still underestimated the influence of the killer "Han Feng".

That is the man who has become an urban ghost story, and even included in the collection of Faroland's folk horror stories.

Moreover, he is the most newsworthy in the entire city of Melova now!
Today is December 12th, the declaration of war ceremony, and the auction has long since ended. People like "The Butcher" Carl and the head of the Knights Templar, Gonzalez, have already left.

And as the new year approaches, the saint "The Horn of Dawn" Wade, Alex the Axe, the Valkyrie, Princess Sophie, Michelle the "Holy White Sword", and even Hal the "Human Dog"... They all left one after another.

At present, in Melova City, apart from the saint "Queen of Nightmare" Lucy, the most famous one is Master Ackerman.

Lucy has been very low-key recently and has nothing to interview. After being beaten up, the Lord Marquis of the Principality of Ron seemed to understand something and dared not propose to her again...

As a result, Sir Ackerman, who has been doing things and making constant moves, has naturally become the darling of reporters.

"Line up and come one by one."

Surrounded by reporters and unable to get out at all, Ren regretted giving his servants and subordinates a holiday.

Invincible, he lost his way again and had to accept an interview.

"Master Ackerman, may I ask, are you staying at home for the past few days because you were seriously injured after being attacked by Hanfeng?" A reporter lady with long wine-red hair asked.

Ren began to open his eyes and talk nonsense:

"Yes, I was seriously injured and just recovered a little bit today."

Although the injury was completely healed by noon the next day, he didn't want others to know that he was extremely resilient. The less people knew about Avalon's trump card, the better.

"Sir Ackerman, can you tell me why Han Feng wanted to assassinate you?" asked another lady reporter.

"Who knows, maybe I'm jealous of my good looks." Ren replied lazily.

Reporters: "..."

Such perfunctory remarks certainly did not satisfy the reporters.

The crowd began to question him, and the news about the dry line was relatively well-informed. Some people asked him if he had offended the "Night Clown", trying to sound out his tone, trying to dig out breaking news.

In this regard, Renn was like-"Well, what you said is very reasonable, and the question is very standard... But it's not a piece of cake, I don't know anything."

Han Feng is the trump card of the "Night Clown". With his death, this underground organization should stop for a while in a short time, and maybe they will give up targeting him.

Ren and the Night Clown are not immortal.

At this time, he will not say something that should not be said to continue to sow hatred.

Let's pass the level of the ghoul family first, and then he will definitely take revenge viciously in the future!
"Master Ackerman, a week ago, I had the honor to interview 'Holy White Sword' Michelle outside the train station. He spoke highly of you and said that you are a real fighter with rich combat experience and strong strength... …

How do you feel about his high recognition? "

Seeing that he couldn't find anything of value, a fat reporter changed the subject.

As soon as this question came out, many reporters stared intently at Ren.

This is actually very rare, and Michelle basically does not boast.

"Nowhere, compared to me, he is a real warrior, either killing the demons, or on the way to kill the demons... I admire his courage and perseverance.

In my opinion, he is a man of noble character and integrity! "

Ren coughed lightly and started a business exchange.

People carrying people in flowery sedan chairs and flattering each other are just basic operations. Besides, he admires the man with the paralyzed face.

He talked to Michele a few times after breaking the demon realm together.

Michelle, known as the "crazy dog ​​of the church", thinks that she is just an insignificant "scavenger".

He regards the demons as "non-recyclable garbage". For him, hunting demons is as common as sweeping garbage every day.

In fact, among the powerhouses of the younger generation in mainland China, Michelle is not necessarily the strongest, but his record is the best.

What impressed Ryan the most was that he once said a famous saying - "This world is filthy again."

At that time, Renn was so shocked that he almost thought that Emperor Qitian had come to the world...

In short, this is definitely a ruthless person, and there are still many opportunities for him to deal with Michelle, because next February, he will take King Dumao to Wisteria City, the capital of the kingdom, to participate in the "Saint Selection" of the Church of Light.

So, in front of the reporters, Ryan began to brag about Michelle.

He almost didn't describe the other party as a saint in the world, "the light of the righteous way", an angel of justice... Finally, the reporters got tired of hearing the business bragging and changed the subject:

"Master Ackerman, this time you planned to kill Hanfeng...

Therefore, there are some rumors in the market that you have an affair with Princess Sophie or the Valkyrie, so you can get their full help. Is this true? "

"Rumors are all rumors. It's just an ordinary cooperation. After all, Han Feng is a wanted criminal in many countries."

Ren, of course, shook his head in denial.

There is more than just an affair between him and the Valkyrie...but the relationship is not suitable for exposure, although there are actually some people who know it.

A certain reporter did not give up:
"Really? This plan is obviously led by you, and they are all cooperating with you... Is there really nothing between you?"

"No, don't make up your mind... However, I have admired the two princesses for a long time. They are the goddesses in my heart." Ren replied solemnly.

Reporter A became excited: "Do you like them?"

Ren: "Of course, I don't think any man will dislike them, after all, they are so beautiful..."

Reporter B: "Then which princess do you like better?"

Ren: "Princess Keisha, she is more in line with my aesthetics. To tell you the truth, she has always been the goddess in my heart."

Reporter B: "Excuse me, are you planning to pursue Valkyrie?"

Ren: "Of course."

The reporters on the scene were suddenly excited, they smelled big news.

Reporter C squeezed the crowd away and asked loudly:
"Master Ackerman, Princess Kesha has many suitors, including princes from many countries and heirs of the Duke's family...Although you are also very good, how do you ensure that you can defeat many rivals in love?"

Ren snorted, and said domineeringly:
"Because I am more determined than them, and I admire her more. If I have the chance, I would like to drink the Valkyrie's bath water!"

Reporters: "..."

There was a moment of silence, and then the reporters had an orgasm.

"Oh my god, this is crazy!"

"This... is really amazing."

"Master Ackerman, may I ask, are you serious?"

The flashing lights kept on, and many reporters were excited, pushing each other, trying to get Ryan to answer his questions, and some people were scribbling in their notebooks.

"Shock!Master Ackerman expressed that he is willing to drink the bath water of Valkyrie! "

"Princess Keisha's Strongest Licking Dog—Sir Ackerman!" "

……

Many reporters are already thinking about tomorrow's headline.

You don't need to guess, unless something unexpected happens, Master Ackerman will definitely take away the headlines of tomorrow's news, at least the headlines of the entertainment section of the newspaper.

Ryan's words ignited the enthusiasm of the reporters, the atmosphere on the scene was high, and there were more and more questions.

Reporter A asked again: "May I ask, what do you think of the killing of Earl Ang's son by Zamo, a native Kangao?"

Ren narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't think there's anything to say about it. Of course it's wrong to kill people, and the people of Kangao... But the earl's son is a scumbag, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil.

This kind of rubbish, living is also a waste of food, it is better to die early! "

These highly offensive speeches once again excited the reporters.

Even if someone knew that Sir Ackerman had conflicts with certain southern nobles, it was still newsworthy.

There's no need for Ren to be polite, just spray your spirits and be angry.

Kingdoms generally do not allow open and aboveboard fights between nobles.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to hit the door directly, and it is impossible for Earl Ange to bring a group of masters from the noble alliance and strongmen of the temple to beat him up. Attack each other in the newspapers.

Reporter B: "Do you think the Earl's youngest son deserves to die?"

Ren: "Isn't this obvious? In broad daylight, it's a bright day, and it's really scumbag to rob other people's women! I think Earl Anger should clean up his family tradition."

Reporter Ding: "Do you think the earl has no way to teach his son?"

Rennes began to rant about his old opponent:
"It's not just a lack of parenting, it's connivance. Can the earl's youngest son be considered a human being? Usury, prostitution, drug use, prostitution, oppression of tenant farmers in the territory... It's just a pile of stinky shit!

I'd like to ask Earl Anger how he cultivated a stinky fresh shit. "

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Some reporters couldn't help laughing, Sir Ackerman's words were too sharp.

The interview has been carried out in a fiery atmosphere, and after being surrounded for almost a whole morning, Rennes was let go by the reporters.

Renn's words are astonishing, not because he only wants to be in the limelight and grandstanding, but because he has many considerations.

Not to mention that the relationship with the Valkyrie will be exposed sooner or later. Now, the more social attention is paid to him, the safer he is...

.........

The next day, December 12, the sky was bright and clear, and the wind was smooth.

When journalists' interviews with Rennes appeared in major newspapers, his high-profile gesture and amazing remarks caused a huge sensation.

"Snapped!"

Inside the castle, with a newspaper in his hand, Earl Anger became more and more annoyed as he read it, his face turned livid, and he smashed his wine glass to pieces!
In the interview about Ren in this newspaper, without any other questions, almost half of the page was devoted to slandering and mocking the Southern Aristocratic Alliance.

The Ange family was the first to bear the brunt, describing his son as a piece of shit, and he deserved to die... How could the Earl bear it.

"Ryan Ackerman, you bastard! How dare you humiliate me like this! And those native baboons, damn it, damn it! You all deserve to die!"

Earl Ange swung his arm in anger, sweeping the breakfast on the table to the ground.

"Get out, get out!"

There was a crackling sound in the restaurant, and cups, dishes, knives and forks, milk, bread and other things fell all over the floor, frightening the servants to tremble and retreat in a hurry.

"My lord, Chief Inspector Omar rejected our overture... just now, the native Zamo was taken away by the people of Bureau 7, and he will be imprisoned for ten years."

At this time, the thin old butler in a white magic robe walked over with a helpless expression.

"Kill my son, attack my castle, and let the Ange family's majesty be demolished, and I will be sentenced to ten years?! Those indigenous baboons are too bullying! Too much bullying!"

Earl Anger's face was livid, and he cursed with a ferocious expression.

"Master, in order to cope with the current situation on the plain, the kingdom needs the support of the Kangao people in the hinterland of the plain, so it will naturally favor them..." The old butler looked distressed.

"I understand, I understand, I just can't swallow this breath!"

Earl Anger tore up the newspaper and said through gritted teeth.

He hated the rambunctious Ryan Ackerman, and he hated the Kangol people even more.

After attacking the castle and killing the family members, he was unable to deal with the murderer in the end. This is undoubtedly a provocation and humiliation to the authority of a nobleman!

Earl Anger wanted to skin the native Zamo alive, but it was a pity that the 7th game intervened, and he dared not object at all!

Compared with many other countries in the mainland, the power of the Faroland royal family is quite large.

Politically, the nobles at all levels, especially the upstarts (such as Rennes), basically belong directly to the king, instead of allegiance to each other like other countries, which strengthens the centralization of the royal family.

Economically, the royal family of Faroland has the monopoly of salt and iron.

In terms of currency, the royal family has the sole right to make currency.

The territory belongs to the lord, but in three aspects, the royal family successfully intervened.

The first is city building and the currency system.

Not only the construction of the castle requires the approval of the royal family, but also the management of the city (including the port) must be participated by representatives of the royal family, and the royal family also draws one-tenth of the taxes.

The royal family has regulations on the mining and smelting of iron, copper, gold, silver and other metals in the territory-copper and iron can be mined and smelted by the lord himself, but gold and silver must be mined and smelted under the supervision of the royal family.

The royal family collects one of the coins, and is not allowed to mint coins privately, only allowed to sell to the royal family (the price is of course different).

The second is military.

Freemen are allowed to bring their own weapons, while knights are allowed to have a team of ten people, hereditary knights are allowed to have a team of 50 people, barons are allowed to have 200 people, viscounts are allowed to be 500 people, earls are allowed 800 people, marquises are allowed 500 people, and dukes are allowed only 4000 people. The military establishment of [-] people has made clear regulations in the military.

(Farolan does not have a field duke, and the title of court title will not be mentioned. Duke Norton is a joke, and he can be humiliated and beaten by Rennes who has just been promoted to a master.)
Third, in terms of justice.

The Public Security Bureau has no right to intervene in ordinary cases that occur in the noble's private territory, and the judicial organization established by the Lord's Mansion will try them.

But once extraordinary people and demons are involved... Bureau 7 has the right to intervene and deal with it, and its authority is higher than that of the lord.

All the nobles control their own cities, land tariffs, their own army, and mint coins at will. The royal family's territory is small, and the royal family can't even command the next-level vassals...

All of the above are old events of the Fourth Epoch.

therefore.

Even if the people in the 7th round didn't give any face, and took away the native Zamo, Earl Anger would not dare to fart!
"Ahhhhhh!"

Earl Ange was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.

In fact, compared to the murder of his son, the trampling of the authority of the lord by the natives was what he could not tolerate the most.

The Aboriginal Zamo was taken away, making the Ang family almost a laughing stock—even the murderers who killed the direct family members could not be dealt with. Of course, this is actually related to the aboriginal riots, otherwise the 7th Bureau may not come to interfere.

As for the fault of the 7th round——Earl Anger didn't even dare to think about it.

The old butler pondered for a moment before saying:

"Master, I always feel that this incident, although it seems like an accident, is a bit strange, and it seems that there are black hands behind the scenes...

Maybe it has something to do with Ryan Ackerman. "

Behind the scenes?

Earl Anger was taken aback, suppressed his anger, and began to think.
