Chapter 56 Arrival
After a night's rest, the journey to the Kingdom of Lorraine began again.
For safety reasons, they moved along the main road most of the time, but occasionally they would pass through the territories of some nobles. The local nobles would also actively cooperate, send people to escort, and appropriately add some resources to the convoy.
At this time, it also means that they can take a day to rest. After all, this is a long journey, so they naturally need to rest. Not everyone has the same physique as a knight.
For Yin Lai, this is also an interesting trip.
Along the way, Yin Lai saw a lot of interesting things, and occasionally collected some items that were not available in Junlin. Some of his knowledge also increased rapidly.
Ten days later.
The convoy reaches the border line.
After negotiation, the convoy successfully crossed the border and entered the Kingdom of Lorraine.
The Kingdom of Lorraine also sent a team of troops to meet them, and the convoy was guided forward.
Maybe it's true that on the day Yin arrived, he thought seeing the seven-leaf flower was a symbol of good luck.
The journey went very smoothly without any obstacles.
But think about it, after all, they represent the Byrne Empire this time. If anything happens, it will inevitably cause a huge dispute. That is what the Lorraine Kingdom does not want to see, so the Lorraine Kingdom will definitely guarantee
their safety within the borders of the country.
As for Yin Lai, he was also observing along the way.
In fact, the locations of the Byrne Empire and the Kingdom of Lorraine are similar, and they are basically in plain areas. However, as the carriage advanced, Yin Lai also discovered the differences between the two countries.
First is the land.
Perhaps due to the difference in location, the overall soil quality of the Kingdom of Lorraine is better than that of the Byrne Empire. This results in the Kingdom of Lorraine being able to produce a large amount of grain every year. In addition to being able to use it for its own use, it even exports a large amount of food to the Byrne Empire.
Yin Lai guessed that this was an important reason why the king chose to establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Lorraine.
Second is people.
Yin Lai obviously felt that the population here is not as large as that of the Byrne Empire, and there should be some differences between the people here and the Byrne Empire. For example, the people here are generally taller, and their eyes are big, and the main color is blue.
, very exotic.
Of course, this was just Yin Lai's simple observation. If he really wanted to understand the differences between the two countries in detail, he would need more detailed observation, but he didn't have that interest.
He came here on a public trip, not to check out the local customs.
In this way, Yin Lai enjoyed the scenery along the way and arrived at their destination.
The capital of the Kingdom of Lorraine - Turin.
This is a city that is no less majestic than King's Landing, and is even more prosperous than King's Landing. Thanks to the food business, the Kingdom of Lorraine may not be as strong as the Byrne Empire in terms of military strength, but its wealth is not bad at all, or even exceeds it.
This can be seen from the grandeur of the city walls of Turin. Whether it is the cannons every few meters on the city or the soldiers' armor reflecting the sun, they fully demonstrate the wealth of this country.
At the city entrance, they underwent extreme inspection as usual.
After the inspection, the carriage entered Turin.
"This is Turin?" Sitting on the carriage, Yin Lai looked outside.
At this time, the carriage was driving on a very wide road. The road was paved with stone bricks and was wide enough to accommodate ten carriages running at the same time.
There are shops on both sides. The shops are basically three floors or above. This is seen in Junlin, because the houses in Junlin are usually two floors. Of course, this is just a different habit.
Maybe it was because it was afternoon, so there were many people on the road. Most of the men were wearing gray clothes, while most of the women were wearing purple and red clothes, exposing their arms and calves, and wearing jewelry or even gems on their heads, which was very sexy.
This made many casual soldiers look straight in the eyes. You must know that in King's Landing, it is rare for women to dress so sexy outside. Even if you reveal too much, you will be arrested by the guards.
But Turin is different, women's status is much higher.
Of course, this is not without reason. This is because the current supreme leader of the Kingdom of Lorraine, Queen Cynthia, is a woman.
Yin Lai looked outside, and naturally there were people watching the convoy.
"Is this the symbol of the Byrne Empire?" On the road, a man asked an old man next to him.
"That should be the case. The symbol of the Byrne Empire is the black dragon. Look, the car at the front has the black dragon symbol!" the old man said, pointing to the car at the front of the motorcade.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know what they want to do in our country?"
"Who knows, that is a matter between the nobles and the queen, what does it have to do with us?" the old man said nonchalantly.
"Um, that's right, it has nothing to do with us!" Hearing the answer, the man was also stunned, but when he thought about it, that seemed to be the case.
Even if something does happen, what does it have to do with him?
Then the man observed the convoy for a while, then turned and left.
…
the other side.
The convoy also arrived at their destination under the leadership of a dedicated person from the Kingdom of Lorraine.
A hotel specially designed to accommodate foreigners.
But don’t think this is a bad place just because it’s a hotel.
Quite the opposite.
When Yin Lai walked into the hotel, he looked at the compact tiles on the hotel floor, the chandeliers worth at least dozens of gold tals hanging in the lobby, and the portraits hanging on the walls.
Only then did Yin Lai truly realize that the Lorraine Kingdom was really rich!
"Yin Lai, go to our room first!" Beside Yin Lai, Bachelor Laimeng patted Yin Lai on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow him.
The two followed a waiter who had arranged in advance and quickly arrived at their room.
The room was also very luxurious, with goose down mattresses, smooth bedding, and mahogany furniture. Yin Lai was fine, but Laimeng was a little stunned.
"Teacher." Yin Lai patted Laimeng on the shoulder.
"Um." Bachelor Laimeng recovered and said leisurely: "It seems that this alliance may not be that simple?"
??
Yin Lai frowned, does this hotel have anything to do with this alliance?
"Teacher, do you have any questions?" Just ask if you don't understand. This is Yin Lai's usual habit.
Bachelor Laimeng looked over, and then said leisurely: "I have been to Turin before, and it was also in this hotel, but that was thirty years ago, and I followed my teacher there.
But the king at that time was not the current Queen Cynthia, but King Harriman. At that time, this place was very simple, with only one bed and simple furniture, but it was also very rough. But look at it now, it's just a hotel, it's like this
Luxury, what do you think this means?"
When he said the last sentence, Bachelor Lai Meng looked at Yin Lai and said sadly:
"To be able to develop the country so well in such a short period of time, it seems that Queen Cynthia has no simple task. Can she really agree to the alliance so easily?"
That's it?
Yin Lai thought something had happened!
"But teacher, does this have anything to do with us? The negotiation should have nothing to do with us, right?" Yin Lai said with a strange look on his face.
Bachelor Laimeng:......
Chapter completed!
