Chapter 513 Romeo and Juliet

The environment of the holiday villa has always been good.

Although there are more functional buildings now, such as schools, churches, medical centers and adventurer associations.

But Rand also paid attention to the attributes of living comfort.

The holiday villa is a place that Rand focuses on promoting and is used to attract talent.

As for comfort, you must not be casual.

Now that the "Photo Crystal" project has achieved initial success, Rand's cultural strategy will be gradually implemented.

Bolan is now dressed in men's clothes, looking handsome and handsome.

Of course, but for Rand, this is a complete beauty in men's clothing.

Anyway, Rand could no longer regard Bolan as a man.

"The Workingmen's Act." Bolan and Rand had always been exchanging letters, and Bolan had naturally heard of the Workingmen's Act.

Therefore, Bolan was also able to pay attention to some villagers who seemed to be working hard but did not have a good life.

"They work very hard," said Bolan.

"Yes, after all, they work for their lords without getting paid," Rand said.

"But since the villagers accept the lord's protection, they are also obliged to work for the lord for free." Bolan did not question Rand's meaning, but just wanted to hear Rand's thoughts so he took over the conversation.

"That's true, but if the money can stimulate their work potential, it's still worth it," Rand said.

Compared to feudalism and slavery, capital is definitely slightly more advanced, but Rand has no interest in promoting the budding of capital.

Rand did not intend to be ahead of the times; his philosophy was similar to that of Marcus.

Do what you can and make it better.

People's acceptance of change is limited, and many things change slowly from generation to generation.

If a change that would take a hundred years to complete is compressed into ten years, many things that were originally natural will become troublesome.

Also, Rand doesn't know what is right. This world is magical, and all kinds of supernatural powers are also progressing.

Who knows, maybe a true magic civilization will develop in the future? Rand is looking forward to it.

"Try this." Rand bought a string of bright red and crystal-clear "Tanghulu" in the food area.

Bolan glanced at it and did not take it. Instead, he bought one at the stall and ate one. "Syrup and hawthorn. Good idea."

Rand didn't care and ate the candied haws in his hand.

The sweetness of the syrup combined with the sourness and sweetness of the hawthorn is really good.

"Would you like to see a play next?" Rand asked.

"Okay." The White King was also somewhat interested in the projected crystal drama.

When the vampire disaster first began to emerge, Rand's "Scarlet Night" received a very good response.

Countless adventurers have already started their adventures with the goal of becoming a "hero".

Among them, various nobles realized the dangers of vampires in a timely manner, and the adventurers' investigations into vampires actually played a lot of roles.

Otherwise, the situation would not have developed to that point so quickly and led to a decisive battle.

However, this brave man...

"Am I that brave man?" After sitting in his seat in the theater, the White King blinked and looked at Rand.

Since the White King and Rand came to watch the movie, the theater had been cleared in advance.

The White King will definitely receive the highest level of diplomatic treatment in the Dukedom of the Moon.

"How do you know about the bounty on that adventurer?" Rand complained.

"Ellie told me." Bolan also found it a little funny. "It was me, Bolan Calant, who thwarted the vampire's conspiracy, right? Then I'm sure Grand Duke Rand won't go back on his word."

In fact, Rand was not reluctant to part with the money. He had actually already raised the funds and was almost making back his investment.

But Rand still felt a little sad that he had to give back the money that could have been stolen.

So Rand argued: "This is not fair. I was the one who caused the death in the end. At least I should get some money."

Bolan blinked. She found Rand's "stingy" look very funny.

Of course, Bolan has no shortage of money.

One thousand gold coins was not a completely insignificant number for the White King, but it was certainly not a huge amount either.

Rand is not really a stingy person, otherwise he would not have given those benefits to the villagers who came to work. Rand can definitely be described as generous when treating his allies.

But sometimes, Rand would show strange "stinginess".

Ellie also told her an interesting story. When cellar ice was first developed to sell iced fruit juices, Rand was reluctant to use ice to cool down even in the hot summer.

This seems to be completely inconsistent with the logic of a great noble, but it is very interesting.

"So you and I split it 70%?" Bolan felt a little funny.

"You three and I seven?" Rand asked hopefully.

"You three and I'll take seven." The White King made his voice sound a little colder.

"Impossible!" Rand was a little shocked.

"June 4th!" The White King snorted.

Rand glared: "Fifty-five!"

"June 4th," Ms. Bolan insisted.

"Five point five to four point five!" Rand gave in slightly.

"June 4th." Bolan insisted.

Rand stared into Bolan's icy blue eyes. Even in front of a king, he refused to give in. "Then you have to compensate me somewhere else."

Bolan crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly: "Tell me about it."

Rand looked around and made sure that no one was in the theater before he leaned over to Bolan's ear and said, "Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dinner?"

Bolan raised an eyebrow. “How dare you mistake me for a woman? Even if you were my sister’s husband, I would not tolerate such an offense.”

Bolan had already made up her mind not to let Rand go any further, but she also didn't intend to be too much of a spoilsport.

Rand was not in a hurry and looked at the curtain: "The show has begun."

The popularity of "Scarlet Night" has not completely subsided.

And Rand has arranged the beginning of a new drama.

In fact, it is possible to make movies using projection crystals, but Rand is not in a hurry to use more advanced art forms.

Rand is ready to strike while the iron is hot and increase its investment step by step. Otherwise, at present when Rand's influence is far from enough, it is very likely that some of its strengths will be "borrowed" by some people with ulterior motives, and then squeezed out by relying on geographical advantages or size advantages.

After all, nowadays, most people have heard of "Scarlet Night" rather than Moonlight Theater.

This is the opening of “Please enjoy Romeo and Juliet”.

The leading actors are Feng Ling and the Minister of Propaganda, Feng Ling plays Romeo and the Minister of Propaganda plays Juliet.

Of course, Rand could not remember the details of this classic drama, but she still knew its core ideas and some of its climaxes.

Rand also captured King Marcus, who was addicted to adventure activities, and improved the drama, and then drove this lazy and playful king back to the royal city to work.

When Marcus left, he repeatedly emphasized to Rand that he must keep a record of his adventures, as he would come back for adventures sooner or later.

Rand had no choice but to nod.

For someone like Marcus, the adventurer promotion system might be really interesting.

But for adventurers who make a living from this, it may just alleviate the grief of sacrifice and the pain of repetitive, boring and hard work.

Rand felt that the adventurer promotion system he set up was quite interesting, and could effectively manage adventurers and increase their trust and reliance on the Dukedom of the Moon.

This means that Rand can always have a troop of adventurers with a higher degree of obedience than regular adventurers.

This kind of force does not need to be maintained on a regular basis. They will take on tasks to support and improve themselves.

Bolan sat in his seat and watched the play.

Then there was silence until the end of the play.

The artistic standard is very high, but the conception is a little unlike what someone in Rand's position would have come up with.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The first thing nobles should consider is their family.

The reason why Bolan allowed Ellie to choose the man she liked was naturally because she was determined to take responsibility for everything for Ellie.

However, among the majority of the aristocracy, selfish behavior that ignores family interests is obviously not encouraged.

Born into a noble family, with noble blood flowing in his veins, completely different from that of the untouchables, he enjoyed a wealthy life and higher education since childhood.

The family has provided so much to its members, so naturally, the family members should give back.

If there is no family, then what is the difference between nobles and untouchables?

So at that time, Duke Thorn's aunt did not even resist Marcus' arrangement.

It's not that she can't resist. As the most powerful person and her elder, if she really disagrees, the former Grand Duke of Thorns cannot force her.

But when Marcus, the head of the family, made the decision, Eleanor, as a family member, still agreed to the arrangement that was simply incredible in Rand's eyes.

Of course, Eleanor is free now, her great-niece is married to Tanner, and she lives a comfortable life in a holiday resort as a staff member of the church school and a diplomat between the Thorn Family and the Nicholas Family.

And if she had resisted at the beginning, maybe Rand would not have been able to feel the sincerity of the Lord of Thorns at that time? Rand did not seem to be interested in promoting such a strange word as "love".

So now, inviting her to watch this film which will obviously not be shown to the public, what is the implication?

If two hostile families can have lovers, then there can also be love between the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law? Don't be ridiculous.

These are totally different things.

Bolan shook her head, but she was still very satisfied with the artistry and dramatic nature of the play.

As for the idea that Rand wanted to convey, Bolan made the decision at the beginning, which was to turn a blind eye.

After the play, it was time for dinner.

Ellie, of course, won't be there.

The dinner location is at a high point on the back hill of the sanctuary.

Rand set up a grill and placed the prepared meat on it.

The wind was cold, but the firewood flames shone brightly in the snow.

"Let's have something a little more fumed tonight," Rand said.

Bolan had no preference in this regard.

I chose my own fish to put on the grill.

There is only light and gentle snow tonight, and the bright moon can still be seen in the sky.

A grand duke and a king were sitting on a hilltop eating a barbecue.

"Want a drink?"

Bolan said casually.

Then the two of them ate barbecue and drank wine.

Wine and barbecue don't really go together, but neither of them cares.

There are bright lights at the foot of the mountain.

The relic lights illuminate the upper sanctuary and the lower holiday villa.

"When I first came here, this place was very shabby," said the White King.

"Fortunately, you didn't look down on me at that time and then threw a few thousand gold coins at me to let me leave Ellie." Rand began to tell a joke.

Of course, the White King didn't know the meaning of Rand's words, but he could sense the meaning.

"If I really think you are not suitable for Ellie, I might really do this." Bolan put the finished skewers in a small bucket on the side, and then joked.

If the White King had really done this, the story would not be what it is now.

Maybe Rand will overcome all obstacles, saying something like "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west", and then prove himself in front of Bolan, and then marry Ellie in a dignified manner?

I feel that this is not unacceptable.

But the relationship between Bolan and Rand will definitely not be as good as it is now.

Both of them were capable people, and they quickly finished the prepared barbecued meat and grilled vegetables.

"That's all for today." Rand clapped his hands and put out the charcoal flame, making sure it wouldn't reignite and burn down the mountain.

Although the probability of wildfires occurring on snowy days is very low.

"I'm going back to the White Kingdom tomorrow," said Bolan.

"In theory, your injuries will need treatment once or twice."

"The situation is not serious anymore. I will recover normally after I go back. It will take ten days or half a month to recover." Bolan explained, and then she looked at Rand, "Thank you for your treatment anyway."

The king's thanks should be a precious honor for everyone.

But Rand didn't feel much.

"Don't do strenuous exercise until your wound is healed," Rand warned.

Bolan narrowed his eyes and said abruptly: "I have had a very happy time these days, including today."

The snow that was originally falling gently seemed to pause at this moment.

Rand could hear Bolan's voice clearly.

Just when Rand was about to speak, he was interrupted by Bolan: "Take good care of Ellie, come to the White Kingdom to see me more often, and I have prepared a gift for you, although it's not for you."

"What?"

Bolan handed Rand a box with mysterious patterns on its surface.

"The energy in the heart of the Everfreeze Furnace is endless. This is a treasure passed down from the Calant family, but the family rules do not require that this thing must belong to the head of the family." Bolan blinked, "I think Ellie is already a qualified family member, so I decided to give this treasure to Ellie for safekeeping."

"You'll need it, won't you?" Bolan added, "I don't know what subsequent plots Grand Duke Vladimir has up his sleeve, and I have no idea what you want to do."

Bolan's ice-blue eyes at this moment gripped one's heart like a strangled dream.

"Don't die." Bolan and Rand were almost nose to nose.
