mechanical court

Elle Romeo squinted her eyes, raised the corners of her lips, and burst into a bewitching smile.Accompanied by a full-blown smile, she seemed to be shrouded in darkness. That elegant and dark charm was more intense than wine, and it was enough to drag people into the abyss of sin.

"..."

Even Ivan, who had made enough mental preparations, still lost his mind for a moment when he saw Ellome, who suddenly turned into a witch.

"That's a good test."

At this moment when she couldn't guard against it, she suddenly grabbed his collar and lifted him up. Before Yiwen had time to react, his lips were suddenly sealed.

This kiss was like a female dragon rushing towards her prey, swift and fierce.

Yiwen was kissed so hard that he couldn't guard against it. Before he could taste the beauty of the beauty's passionate kiss, he suddenly felt a warm and swift air flow between those two cherry lips.

It was like a sprinkler at full power, pouring air into his lungs with a destructive force.Ivan wanted to exhale forcefully to relieve the pressure, but Elulomei pinched his nose and his body was wrapped in her seemingly soft arms—like a monkey under the Five Fingers Mountain, unable to move.

Soon, Ivan felt as if his eyes were staring at Venus. His body was like a balloon inflated to the limit, which might explode at any time, but the greedy urchin was still trying to blow it——it was going to explode!

Cocoon yourself!

At the moment of losing consciousness, this word suddenly flashed in his mind, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.

"..."

After confirming that he had fainted, Ai Luluomei moved her lips away, let go of her hands, and let Ivan fall straight on the ground.

Her eyes twinkled slightly, she licked her wet lips, raised her head and took a deep breath, and called the adjutant's name:

"Lenny!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of sharp blades piercing the air, the red-haired girl crossed the window like a javelin and landed straight in front of her. When she raised her head, the red glow on her face was faintly visible:

"Knock him in the trash can and take him away."

With a victorious smile on the corners of Elle's lips, she straightened her long hair, and a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes—this guy is not big, but he is quite courageous, and he has swelled to such an extent after not seeing him for a few days. Give it a good beating.

"Yes!"

After taking the order, Renee looked down at her titular lord, like a frightened big cat, arched her back in an instant, and subconsciously let out a short and rapid scream:

"oops!"

"..."

At this time, Yiwen was completely reduced to a salted fish that had lost its vitality, lying lifeless on the floor, only his body twitched from time to time, showing that he was still alive.

------

When Ivan woke up again, he found that he was staying in the dormitory where he was temporarily living. He just sat up from the cold floor and found that the female officer Renee was sitting on the chair opposite, looking at him with piercing eyes, with a gleam in his eyes. A bit of admiration and sympathy.

He quickly checked his body and found that everything seemed to be fine except for the stench emanating from his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief:

"I'm still alive...how wonderful!"

"If you weren't the Sun King, you would probably have been mummified by now. To some extent, you are really brave. As far as I know, you are the only one who has the guts to say that to Her Royal Highness." .”

"I... just tell the truth." He continued to make up in embarrassment.

"I hope you won't regret it."

Renee shook her head with a heavy expression, and the sympathy in her eyes grew stronger. She walked up to Ivan, hesitated, and finally patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Believe me, the matter has just begun. Your Highness has just begun. I have never been teased by a man before, so I will never let you go so easily."

Chapter 48 Arithmetic

The day of the charity auction.

The ceremonial cars gathered from all directions, the doors opened, and luxuriously dressed upper class people and their female companions stepped out.

Wearing a white sash, shaved hair, and anointed with holy oil, the head of the attendant stood by the door, and recited the family names of the guests forcefully.

The waiters in charge of receiving guests are all in white robes with big bald heads - Menesians pay great attention to trimming their hair, even ordinary civilians need to keep their beards and hair neat, nobles will also pluck their body hair on this basis, and priests to symbolize Pure, even the eyelashes and the hair of the private parts have to be clean.

……

As the guests walked through the gates and tidy corridors, the melody of the music became clearer and clearer. The dark and deep front hall of the Temple of Hades also gave them a unique experience.

The decoration of the temple is simple. The dome of the central hall is about 30 meters high. On more than a hundred crystal lamps, only a few white candles symbolizing sacrifice and mourning are lit.There are no handsome men or beautiful women among the waiters, they are all insiders of the temple, and there are no fine wines and delicacies in the trays they hold, just simple water, melons and fruits.

The windows on either side were wide open, and dust flew in golden light, illuminating the outlines of the reliefs between the walls.Realistic portraits of the disaster-stricken areas are placed everywhere, and the miserable conditions of the victims, hungry and cold, make people feel distressed just by looking at them.

The orchestra sometimes played bleak and sad music, and sometimes played chant-style music. The combination of various factors made the noble men and women who were laughing and laughing involuntarily calm down one by one.

The shopping guides saw the figures of the nobles from a distance, and greeted them eagerly, and the attendants moved with them carrying brochures of all kinds of jewelry.These people have undergone professional training from Yiwen. Although their manners are not elegant, they can't fault them at all.The appearance is not so handsome and beautiful, but it is easy for people to let go of their guard, with an amiable smile, making the gentlemen feel at home, and at the same time, they feel a sense of intimacy.

The reason why they showed such enthusiasm was because Ivan promised these people that the more items they sold, the more dividends they would get.You may not have to worry about eating and drinking for a few years if you do one vote, is there any reason not to work hard! ?

……

As the core area of ​​the auction, the atmosphere inside the Pluto Temple was relatively calm, because the nobles deliberately maintained elegance and calmness. They wanted to compete for treasures, but they were unwilling to lose their dignity.

In sharp contrast to this is the terrace and square of the temple, which is surrounded by manicured shrubs, majestic and detached.It was originally a sacred religious site, but it was turned into a vegetable market-like scene by wealthy merchants.

Like wolves smelling blood, the merchants followed the shopping guides to visit samples in groups of threes and twos, bid with each other, and even got red-faced because of some disputes over certain goods, requiring the appearance of the crusaders to maintain order.

And in the outer area, close to the street, there are tents scattered in the open space, and civilians with some spare money come in and out, trying to find some cost-effective household items.With ample supply, most people find their ideal item.

Due to the experience of the previous life and the protection of the Sun King, the auction went smoothly despite minor twists and turns.

Ivan hid behind the scenes the whole time, while listening to the voices of nobles and gentlemen bidding for jewelry and antiques, he nervously calculated the amount.He knew very well in his heart that he had offended Ai Luluomei a lot a few days ago, and if she was allowed to find fault, he might lose all his skin.

"Sixty-three thousand deben, plus 72 deben, plus... a total of 81 deben!"

He calculated the numbers on the rough straw paper, and after calculating the price of the auction for half a day, he was slightly relieved.

Only a few hours later, jewelry worth 80 deben was sold. The enthusiasm shown by the nobles in the auction exceeded Ivan's expectation.

"Your Majesty...you...you figured it out?"

Standing behind him, Yassin looked at the densely packed numbers of blue stars with an expression as if he was reading a bible, and then looked at Ivan, the pious expression on his face became a little stronger.

"Yes."

Ivan nodded indifferently, and considering that the other party had never been in contact with Blue Star Numbers, he explained patiently: "It is more complicated to calculate in hieroglyphs, so I will replace it with some simple symbols, just a little trick, don't worry about it." .”

"But you are faster than the most senior accountant!" Yassin said with reverence.

The Menesians call it the Tears of Atum and believe that they are a nation bred by the holy river, because the regular flooding of the river will bring fertile silt, which is the guarantee of a good harvest of food.But while ensuring a good harvest, the river will also flood all the field boundaries, so every time it floods, the fields must be remeasured and calculated.
