GOR Chapter 335 "Lufic"
Time finally passed the last day of the 962 year of the Empire.
On this night, in the Imperial Capital, Du Wei's invention of "fireworks" became the best-selling item in the shops of the Duke of Tulip Family. Even the Imperial Palace came to purchase several large carts of them.
In addition, Du Wei also ordered the factory to rush out a batch of small fireworks suitable for civilian use to sell to the civilians of the Imperial Capital.
Taking advantage of the festive season at the end of the year, a large number of gold coins once again flowed into Du Wei's pocket. As for Du Wei's number one business CEO, Zuckerberg, he was beaming with joy.
That night, in the sky above the Imperial Capital, the brilliant fireworks flashed all night long, illuminating the sky as if it was daytime. A special regulation was issued in the Imperial Palace's square. Here, Du Wei's special tribute to the Imperial Palace was to set off the largest fireworks. This thing was much more majestic than the "Goddess of Twilight's Forgiveness" that Du Wei made to celebrate his mother's birthday.
Looking at the huge fireworks blooming in the sky, Du Wei did not run to the square to watch the ceremony. Even though countless nobles went to the square in front of the Imperial Palace to see the ceremony, Du Wei said that he was sick and resting at home.
He sat alone on the highest floor of the Duke's mansion. His legs were leisurely propped up on the eaves. Next to him was a bottle of fine wine. Even though the night was cold, Du Wei looked very comfortable.
"Another year … I'm alone again." Du Wei sighed, picked up the bottle and took a sip. Then he laughed and shouted to the starry sky in the distance: "Happy New Year!"
His heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of loneliness. Du Wei had been in this world for many years. Although he felt that he had gradually adapted and even integrated into this world, sometimes he was used to calling himself a "Roland". But the old saying of the Chinese was very good: Every festive season, one would think twice of one's family.
Only in this kind of festival when everyone was celebrating would the loneliness in her heart flash like a ghost, constantly reminding herself: I am different from the people in this world.
In fact, when Du Wei thought about it now, such a sigh was somewhat absurd.
Originally, he thought that he was just a person who had transmigrated from his original world. But only now did he realize that he had actually spent several lifetimes in this world! Aragon, Du Wei 1 … Hmph.
According to this calculation, the time he had spent in this world was even more than the time he had spent on Earth in his previous life.
"Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly. Who is the butterfly and who is me?" Du Wei laughed at himself.
In the distance, the streets were bustling with noise, and in the distant sky, fireworks were blooming one after another. The festive atmosphere on the streets could be smelled from afar.
At this moment, Du Wei's heart suddenly fell silent …
Since she had already blended in, why did she have to have such a childish mentality?
Looking at the street in the distance … Everyone must be in a joyous mood right now. Today, even the servants of the Duke's Mansion had changed into new clothes.
Thinking of this, Du Wei suddenly had an impulse … Looking at the distant street, he could faintly see the flashing lights of the fireworks.
"Actually, how many people know? I didn't make these fireworks to make money at all. " Du Wei whispered to himself: "I just want to make this world as much as possible like my original world."
When a person is lonely, in fact, the more they yearn for those lively occasions. If a person wanted to die, at this time, they would instead lock themselves up.
But Du Wei …
After drinking the last mouthful of wine, he suddenly threw the bottle down from the roof, patted his clothes, and laughed: "Stupid, stupid!"
Then, he flew down from the top of the building and landed on the ground. Then, he strode outside.
Arriving at the front hall of the Duke's Mansion, when the servants saw their master, they immediately stopped and saluted from afar. Du Wei smiled faintly and quickly walked past. Walking to the door, Du-Wei could hear the crackling sounds of firecrackers coming from the distance, causing the impulse in his heart to grow even stronger.
He casually waved his hand to dismiss the few guards: "I am going out for a walk, no one is to follow me … en …"
As he said this, he suddenly saw an honest, even somewhat timid youth standing in the corner in the distance. Du Wei smiled and beckoned with his finger: "Lufei, come with me for a walk."
This Lufei was naturally the "future King of Nanyang" from Nanyang. At this moment, he had no choice but to stay by Du Wei's side, enduring the fear of Du Wei all day long. He even became his horse driver.
Looking at the fearful expression on Lufei's face, Du Wei's attitude today was particularly amiable: "Okay, kid, don't talk nonsense, come with me."
With that, he strode out of the Duke's Mansion. Lufei didn't dare to delay and could only obediently follow behind.
The fear of Du Wei was deeply imprinted in his heart. At this moment, the more amiable Du Wei was to him, the more Lufei feared him in his heart.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, turned two streets and arrived at the bustling area of the Imperial Capital.
Lufei quietly followed behind. Du Wei gave him a rare glance and smiled: "Are you afraid of me?"
Lufei tried his best to shrink back a bit. Seeing the fear in the boy's eyes, Du-Wei couldn't help but smile. Reaching out his hand, Du-Wei patted the boy's shoulder: "Very good, I am very satisfied with your performance. Remember, you are afraid of me, this is very normal, there is nothing strange about it. In fact, as long as you don't disobey me in the future, I won't punish you. Also, I don't want you to become a coward because of this. Remember, you are a person who may become a king in the future. "
With that, he gently pushed the youth and then pulled him to walk side by side with him.
On the bustling street, there were many young children jumping around and setting off fireworks. It seemed that Du Wei's new toy was very popular.
"Mas, master …"
Lufei suddenly hesitated and timidly opened his mouth. Although he was afraid of Duwei, but after all, he was still a teenager. Looking at the bustling street and the fireworks in the hands of the children, he couldn't help but show a trace of yearning: "You, you today … …"
"Why am I so gentle to you today?" Du Wei faintly smiled, then he whispered: "Lufei, you are not from the Roland Empire. Your hometown is in the Southern Ocean, that is to say, you are a foreigner."
Then he whispered something that only he could hear: "And I … am also a foreigner."
Du Wei suddenly walked to the side of the road and pulled two children who were preparing to set off fireworks. Then he took out a gold coin from his pocket with two fingers and smiled: "I'll use this to exchange for the things in your hands, okay?"
Although the two children were playful, their age was enough to distinguish the amount of money. Looking at Du Wei, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly nodded. Without waiting for Du Wei to speak, they hurriedly threw the fireworks in their hands on the ground. Then they took Du Wei's gold coin and ran away.
"Here, take it. These are all yours. If you want to play later, go ahead."
Du Wei sighed and touched Lufei's head: "A child is still a child after all."
In Lufei's black eyes, there was a trace of something other than fear. There was a faint trace of emotion.
When they reached the intersection of the street, they saw Lufei happily lighting up a firework. Within the firework, there was a dazzling spark. Lufei's young face was filled with excitement and joy. Du Wei sighed in his heart and couldn't help but think: Am I too strict with him?
With this idea in mind, Du-Wei even bought a bag of candy for Lufei during the next stroll down the street. The master and servant each held a bag of candy in their hands and ate it as they walked.
Gradually, under the lively atmosphere of the street, the coldness in Du Wei's eyes faded bit by bit. It was as if he had really integrated into the atmosphere. Lufei also unconsciously raised his head and no longer had a timid look. Of course, whenever he faced Du Wei, he was still full of reverence.
When the two of them reached the end of the street, they turned a corner. The rest of the road was not so bustling. Du Wei suddenly saw a small pub on the side of the road, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
It was the night of the New Year. Most people wouldn't come out to eat or drink. Moreover, it was almost late at night. If such a tavern was still open for business, how could there be any business?
With a trace of curiosity, Du Wei casually walked into the door of the tavern. After walking in, he found that the tavern didn't look very prosperous. The hall was very narrow and dark. Judging from the environment and decoration, it was also slightly old-fashioned. It was somewhat out of place with the festive atmosphere outside.
In order to save money, only two lamps were lit.
At this moment, in the empty hall, there wasn't a single customer other than himself.
A teenager wearing a waiter's uniform saw Du Wei come in and quickly greeted him enthusiastically. Behind the counter, a woman in her thirties also quickly came out.
Du Wei withdrew his gaze and casually found a chair to sit down.
"Respected customer, what would you like to order?" The teenager opened his mouth, but his speech was somewhat unclear. It seemed that he was very unfamiliar with the words. It seemed that he was a newbie.
Du Wei smiled and took out a gold coin from his bosom and put it on the table. "Just get something to eat and drink. It's cold enough. Make a brazier next to me."
Seeing this gold coin, the waiter's eyes immediately widened in shock. Next to him, the female boss hurried over with an embarrassed face and respectfully said to Du Wei: "Guest … … You, such a gold coin, we don't have anything here that is worth this price … …"
Du Wei saw the other party's embarrassment and said, "It doesn't matter. Just get some of what you have here. Treat the extra as a tip for the waiter."
From the facial features of the waiter and the female boss, he could tell that the two of them were either mother and son or siblings.
Soon, the food was served. The female boss was very honest and didn't lie. There really wasn't anything good here. The food served was just a bowl of steamed meat and a plate of salt-boiled beans. In addition, the wine was served. Du Wei took a sip and found that it was a relatively weak wine – fortunately, it was strong enough.
The female boss looked somewhat frightened. "These are the only things left in the shop. We really don't dare to accept your gold coin ….. please ….."
Du Wei gave a faint smile and said, "It's nothing. Since I have already given it to this child, there is no reason for me to take it back."
Lufei had been following Du Wei for the entire night. Seeing Du Wei's amiable attitude towards him, his courage seemed to have grown. He coughed and stood behind Du Wei. Then, he said to the female boss, "This is a reward from our master. You should accept it. Our master has a noble status. How can we take back what he has given out? "
After having the boss and the waiter leave, Du Wei pointed at the chair beside him and said, "Lufei, sit down and drink with me."
The youngster was stunned. He looked at Du Wei in disbelief.
"What are you looking at? Are you afraid that I will eat you? Sit down. I want you to drink with me. "Du Wei said indifferently. Lufei quickly sat down.
After eating some food, Du Wei was very satisfied with the food. The salt-boiled beans were very tasty. The meat was also very soft and fragrant. It would appear that the skills of the boss here were quite good.
As for Lufei, he carefully placed his buttocks on the edge of the chair. He dared not reach out to eat. Du Wei smiled. He didn't know why, but tonight, he suddenly felt some pity for this youngster – perhaps it was because they were in the same boat.
