Imperial Crown

Chapter 49 You can live here if you want...right?

The carriage with the double magic array is cool and stable, and people can hardly feel it moving.

In the carriage, Nancy asked with a confident smile, "Jenny, do you think Raven will be stunned by me this time?"

"Of course, Miss Nancy." Jenny nodded vigorously: "These are all carefully selected by you. He is a small baron, and he will definitely be shocked!"

In order to prepare for this appearance, Nancy did spend a lot of time.

The original plan of 10 carriages was expanded to 12, all of which were white ivory wood carriages. This high-quality and rare wood is expensive. The cost of a carriage is 72.4 gold coins. Just a layer of varnish has a graceful and elegant luster, which can even be compared with real gold!

Under the carriage, there are double-layer magic arrays installed, one for temperature control and the other for vibration elimination. Although it is not large, it costs 327.5 gold coins.

Even the 24 horses pulling the carriage were carefully selected, with one-eighth of Warcraft bloodline, 62.44 gold coins each, with a shoulder height of 1.8 meters, a reddish body, flowing mane, and running like a ball of fire.

Overall, the cost was an astonishing 6297.36 gold coins!

"Goldenbright is such a poor place." Nancy said half complaining and half showing off, "Otherwise, I would never show up so poorly!"

Jenny wanted to remind Nancy that she was also so ambitious the last time she rushed to the government hall of Goldenbright, but the result was...

But now was obviously not the time to pour cold water on her. She followed Nancy's words and said, "You also said that this kind of place is very poor."

"Even the richest Goldenbright is so poor, not to mention the entire Eagle Territory. Raven must have never seen such a grand occasion!"

"Well, that makes sense. You are still a little smart!" Nancy nodded with satisfaction: "Wait, Raven, I want you to kneel down to welcome me in!"

The carriage stopped quickly, and a servant immediately got off the back carriage and unfolded a two-meter-wide, half-inch-thick red firefly velvet carpet, which was spread all the way from the door to the castle hall.

Nancy got out of the car with Jenny's help, and walked on the thick carpet, arrogantly walking inside.

Her eyes swept over the servants of Eagle Castle, and seeing them dumbfounded and dumbfounded, her self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

Country bumpkins are country bumpkins, and they all look ignorant!

But this good mood did not last long.

Because Raven's face soon appeared in her field of vision, not only did he not show any shock, but his face was calm.

Nancy's lips pursed at this moment.

Humph, just pretend!

She walked in front of Raven with impeccable elegance, raised her chin, and stretched out her right hand: "Hmm."

Seeing this, Raven sighed in his heart.

Although this Nancy looks like a child, she is really good at dressing up.

Her light red hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, and two slightly curled hairs hung on her temples, elegant and lively.

She wore silver teardrop-shaped earrings on her ears, and the rubies inlaid on them were crystal clear and bright, which complemented her bright temperament.

She had a smile on her lips, and her fangs were slightly exposed.

The luxurious orange dress outlined her slender waist and made her delicate collarbone more attractive.

"It's my honor to meet you, Miss Nancy." Raven greeted politely, bent down to take her little hand wrapped in white gloves, and kissed her hand.

It was obviously just a standard social etiquette, but Nancy felt a sense of victory in her heart.

Humph, no matter how arrogant you are, you still have to bend down in front of me, right?

"Baron Raven, your etiquette is impeccable." Nancy took back her palm with a bright smile on her face: "I am a little tired after a long journey. I hope you have prepared my residence."

"Uh...what?" Raven seemed not to hear clearly: "Are you planning to stay?"

Nancy was stunned for a moment, frowning: "Baron Raven, what do you mean, didn't you receive my visiting card?"

"Visiting card? What visiting card?" Raven blinked innocently, then looked to both sides: "Has anyone among you received Miss Nancy's visiting card?"

The servants shook their heads, even Patty did the same, but when she lowered her head, there was still a hint of laughter at the corners of her mouth.

Nancy bit her lip and turned to glance at Jenny, who lowered her head innocently.

This damn bastard, how could he be so shameless?

I even tampered with the date on the visiting card, using carbon powder mixed with silver powder to apply the "1" on the 12th. It looks fine, but it can be wiped off with a light touch, and the time of sending the visiting card is 10 days earlier.

She originally thought that Raven would reject her on the grounds of the date, but she didn't expect him to pretend that he didn't receive it!

How could he be so cunning? Did he see through my exquisite plan?

In fact, Raven didn't see it, but he didn't intend to admit that he received the visiting card, so no matter what tricks Nancy played around it, it was all in vain.

"Raven, don't be complacent. Anyway, my visiting card has been delivered. I will stay in Eagle Castle today!" Nancy took a deep breath and raised her voice: "Jenny, help me go in. I want to see who dares to stop the daughter of the Fox family!"

As soon as these words came out, Nancy saw Raven's face change, and the servants around him were also a little at a loss.

In the Keynes Empire, the nobility is everything. The untouchables who touch the nobility without permission will be whipped and beaten to death.

Not to mention blocking the whereabouts of a noble!

Nancy walked into the door with pride in her heart.

Raven, no matter what excuse you have, I can suppress you severely with my family background. This time, I still won!

This is a small step for me, and a big step for the Fox family to turn defeat into victory!

Snap——

A crisp sound rang out, and Nancy's foot, which was about to land inside the door, suddenly froze. She shuddered and looked at Raven reflexively, only to see the latter's hands slowly parting, with a sly smile on his lips.

This immediately reminded Nancy of the experience when she first met Raven. She shrank her neck slightly, but immediately straightened her chest.

I don't believe it. Do you dare to spank me in public?

Thinking of this, she shook her spirits and took another step.

Snap——

Nancy's body shook. If Jenny hadn't supported her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.

"Stop slapping!" Feeling ashamed and hateful, Nancy glared at Raven angrily:

"Don't you have any gentlemanly manners? I am the daughter of the Fox family. It is the honor of your Griffith family to live in Eagle Castle!"

Raven said nothing, but there was a meaningful smile on his lips, his hands gently stroking, and his eyes wandering between Nancy's waist and abdomen.

The latter felt her hair stand on end, her body swelled, and she almost reached out to cover her butt.

No, the last impression was too deep!

Nancy really couldn't get over this.

But the bold words had been spoken, and the people had already arrived at the gate of Eagle Castle. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to return home empty-handed at this time?

As a last resort, Nancy looked at Jenny for help.

The latter also realized that it was a critical moment, and had already started thinking about it.

In this situation, if she retreated, Miss Nancy would definitely not let her go!

With a turn of her eyes, a brilliant plan emerged.

Under Nancy's gaze, Jenny rolled her eyes.

This meant to hint that Nancy was pretending to faint.

As long as Nancy fainted at this time, then Raven had to arrange for Nancy to rest inside out of courtesy. Once she entered this door, it would not be so easy for Raven to drive her away.

Nancy's first reaction was anger. I was clearly asking you for help. What do you mean by looking down on me?

But immediately, she understood - this was asking her to continue to belittle Raven!

The first step to belittling others is to flatter yourself.

"Raven, do you know that I am the daughter of the Fox family? The Fox family is the earl family!"

"Did you see my carriage? Just this car team has 6,000 gold coins!"

"Can you, a small eagle leader, earn that much in ten years?"

Raven didn't quite understand Nancy's brain circuit, and sneered and asked: "6,000 gold coins are indeed not a small amount, but what does it have to do with me? Are you going to give them to me?"

"Do you only have money in your mind? How vulgar and low-brow!" Nancy condemned.

"As the lord of the Eagle Territory, of course I have to consider money." Raven asked as a matter of course: "Otherwise, what should I care about, artistic taste?"

Nancy heard the irony in Raven's words, and she asked dissatisfiedly: "If I give you money, can I move in?"

Raven thought for a while: "It depends on how much you can give."

"Angel Tears!" Nancy suddenly said.

"What?" Raven was stunned.

"1,000 bottles of Angel Tears, I want them." Nancy stretched out a pink finger: "Is that enough?"

Raven's eyes suddenly burst into the light of money, he swallowed and said: "Miss Nancy, Angel Tears are not cheap."

"It's just 1.7 gold coins per bottle, it's not like I can't afford it." Nancy sneered.

Raven laughed: "That was the previous price, the new Angel Tears is 2.88 gold coins per bottle."

What a greedy guy, he actually took advantage of this time to raise the price!

Nancy felt a little dissatisfied and said with contempt: "You just want money, then I'll make it up to you, 3,000 gold coins."

"Jenny, get the money!"

Two servants carried a large wooden box and placed it in front of Raven with a thump. The box was opened, and the golden light shone out brilliantly.

At this moment, Raven's pupils were about to turn into the shape of gold coins.

3,000 gold coins, what a huge windfall!

"Miss Nancy, oh no, Princess Nancy, you are simply the most dazzling pearl in the world!"

This time, without waiting for Nancy to speak, Raven changed his previous refusal attitude, knelt on one knee decisively, raised his right hand high, touched his chest with his left hand, and said in an almost chanting tone:

"Welcome to Eagle Castle!"

It seemed that he was afraid that Nancy would regret it the next moment!

Seeing this scene, Nancy's heart was suddenly filled with joy. With the help of Jenny, she walked into the hall with her head held high.

Hum, I knew I would be able to live in Eagle Castle!

Jenny supported her and praised her in her ear: "Miss Nancy, what you did just now was so elegant and domineering! With only 3,000 gold coins, that Raven knelt down in an instant."

"You are simply the smartest lady in the world, if..."

At this point, Jenny’s voice dropped because she noticed that Nancy’s face was getting more and more ugly.

"Jenny, we spent so much time preparing the scene just to calm Raven, right?"

Jenny nodded: "Well, yes, and the effect..."

"Don't interrupt me." Nancy stopped, swallowed, and continued: "In the end, he was not restrained, but refused me to come in."

"He won't let me go until I come up with 3,000 gold coins, right?"

Jenny still didn’t understand: “Yes…but…”

"But what but!" Nancy's voice was aggrieved and aggrieved:

"Doesn't this mean that the reputation of the Fox family is not worth 3,000 gold coins!?"

I spent more than 6,000 gold coins to create a grand scene, but it was of no use at all. Instead, I spent a high price to buy 1,000 bottles of angel tears, so I could move in!

At this moment, Nancy felt that she was a big injustice!

At this moment, Raven's voice sounded behind her: "Miss Nancy, would you like to take a look at our new product from Eagle Castle? You will definitely be as satisfied as Angel Tears!"

This sentence was simply another stab at her already scarred self-esteem.

The joy of victory disappeared at this moment, and instead he felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.

"Jenny, let's go!" Nancy shook off Jenny's support and strode upstairs with the dress in both hands.

Raven didn't have time to figure out Nancy's thoughts. At the moment, all his attention was focused on the 3,000 gold coins.

After breakfast, Raven immediately held a regular morning meeting.

Looking at Raven with a smile on his face, Denise joked half-jokingly: "Tsk, Lord Baron is really happy today. When I came back, your etiquette was not so thoughtful."

Raven smiled nonchalantly and said, "If you can bring 3,000 gold coins every time you come back, let alone kneeling on one knee, you can even let me carry you in."

In the past, Old Gordon would have felt uncomfortable with this kind of scene, but now he was watching it all happily.

After a detailed discussion last time, he was able to confirm that no matter what Denise had in mind, she could not escape the Baron's plan.

"With these gold coins in hand, many things should start to work." Raven patted the table and said seriously: "The venue of this press conference has been moved to Eagle Town."

Of course Old Gordon would not object, but Denise was a little hesitant: "The preparations in Goldshire are almost complete. Now that the venue is changed, will the time be too tight?"

Raven shook his head slightly: "No, hasn't the framework been set up in the warehouse? It can be directly transformed into a conference venue. It will give you enough time and make it easier to arrange."

"New luxurious materials are used in the construction, all appliances are made of natural crystals and precious metals, and the magic lamps are also installed!"

"Magic lamps?!" Denise was slightly surprised: "Isn't it too wasteful? If you buy a set of magic lamps, the 3,000 gold coins will be lost by more than half!"

Old Gordon rarely agreed with Denise: "Yes, Lord Baron, if you have the money to buy magic lamps, you can invest it in the construction of Eagle Town!"

"Sooner or later, you have to buy magic lamps." Raven glanced at the two of them and said rationally: "And for this press conference, Angel Tears and Angel Kiss are both luxury goods, and they need a luxurious environment. To set off.”

"I didn't do it before because I wasn't financially rich enough. Now that I have money, I have to do it to the extreme and strive to make a name for myself and win people's hearts in one go!"

Who will consume luxury goods?

Nobles who have too much money to spend, businessmen who want to resell for profit.

When these people buy things, they don’t seek the best, but the most expensive.

Once you get something, people will know that you have taste, status, and wealth!

So what is luxury?

In addition to the product itself, packaging and marketing are also top priorities!

Denise had been in the business world for many years and quickly understood what Raven meant. She nodded and said, "Well, it does make sense."

"Then it's settled." Lei Wen said with bright eyes: "Contact the Mercenary Guild immediately and send the invitation letter!"

Ten minutes later, Volav rode his horse to Goldsmith Town. Another hour passed, and dozens of couriers belonging to the Mercenary Guild drove their mounts and galloped away!

The roads are like the blood vessels of the Nord province, and the messengers are like the blood flowing in the blood vessels. They change horses without changing people, running day and night!

The first person to receive the letter was the nearest Iron Furnace Leader.

"Huh, press conference!"

Angel threw the invitation aside with a gloomy expression: "Since taking office, he has been doing these despicable things that only businessmen would do. This 'little bee' has really brought shame on the nobles!"

"Father is right." Mark agreed with a smile on his face: "This little bee can only do these things that only women like. It really has no manliness at all!"

Even though he said this, Mark's eyes were still unconsciously attracted to Angel Tears.

The taste is really wonderful, and the new packaging is really exquisite.

A trace of jealousy suddenly arose in his heart.

Even though they are about the same age, Lei Wen has achieved far more achievements than him. He couldn't help but continue to belittle Lei Wen: "Those who don't do their job properly, I wouldn't even go to his so-called press conference this time!"

"Hey, it was supposed to be like this." Angel coughed awkwardly and sighed heavily: "But this damn little bee, this time it hit the right spot!"

"Nowadays, people in the Nordic province are in a state of flux, and no one knows what the future will be like. His so-called press conference just provides a platform for everyone to communicate."

"I'm afraid there will be more people there than at Donald's funeral."

At this point, he suddenly raised his voice: "Judra!"

"Ah, father... Baron!" Judra came back to her senses at this time.

He hadn't quite gotten over the shock yet.

The people of the family in Mon'en City came back from the message, and there was already a considerable degree of chaos in Mon'en City, which meant that Nord Province was likely to usher in a major chaos.

Raven, on the other hand, had predicted this with certainty more than a month ago.

Time actually proved him right!

Glancing at his eldest son with dissatisfaction, Angel said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, you take Mark to the press conference. Remember, communicate with more people and strive to obtain more information, so go down!"

"Yes, Lord Baron."

"Yes, Father!"

The two stood up and left together.

Just when he was about to leave, Mark quietly put the bottle of Angel Kiss into his cuff.

At the same moment, inside Xuefeng Castle.

Butler Kent looked at the exquisite invitation on the table and asked tentatively: "Lord Viscount, are we going?"

As if he hadn't heard anything, John put the angel's kiss to the tip of his nose, enjoying the fresh and refreshing lavender fragrance:

"This little guy Raven can really surprise people."

Kent still didn't understand and asked: "Sir, what do you mean...?"

"Since he sent an invitation, why should I hold on to old things?" John said slowly, "What's more, you can also taste fine wines like 'Angel's Tears'!"

As he spoke, he held the newly packaged Angel's Tears in his hand, his eyes fell on the gradient label, and he read out loud with emotion:

"All things are false, all things are permitted..."

Not just Viscount John, this meaningful phrase echoed in all the noble families of the Nord province.

Some were surprised, some praised, and some were disdainful.

But no one can ignore this sentence.

The sample sent with the letter is not just the amazing new packaging of Angel Tears.

Angel's Kiss has aroused the curiosity of many people.

Although there is only one drop, it can leave a rich fragrance for 6 or 7 hours.

Most of the nobles received the letter, but not every messenger was able to fulfill his responsibility.

In the night, on the mountain road, a galloping horse fell to the ground with a stream of blood coming out of its neck.

The knight on his body was about to shout, but suddenly froze, as if being sucked by an invisible force, and his body suddenly began to dry up.

Just a few minutes later, the fallen horse stood up again carrying the messenger.

It's just that the war horse itself and the people on it have all turned into dry corpses, with only the eyes burning with white soul fire.

It has been transformed into an undead creature!

The Bone Knight rode his horse to the roadside, bowed down, and held a delicate parchment bag in his withered hands.

In the darkness, a figure wearing a black robe appeared, stretched out his palm covered with age spots, took the paper bag and opened it.

"Haha... 'Everything is false, everything is allowed?' What an extravagant and decadent slogan." The old voice was as harsh as a tattered bagpipe: "Seeing the winter moon approaching, the nobles of Nord Province actually still Don’t waste your time on this meaningless activity.”

"It's so corrupt."

Another man in black robes came up next to him and asked respectfully: "In this case, should we take advantage of this so-called 'press conference' to launch an early launch? If we can catch all those nobles, it will definitely bring great significance to the Nord province." The blow!”

"No need, the sect's plan is almost ready. Any complications at this time will only disrupt our deployment."

At this point, the old voice made a few scoffs like scraping swords: "Let these high-ranking nobles usher in their catastrophe in a state of drunkenness and dreams!"

"Let's go!"

It is not surprising that an invitation letter was not delivered, and this small episode disappeared without anyone noticing.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the time has come to October 27.

With the holding of the press conference, the popularity of Eagle Town suddenly increased a lot.

A series of exquisite and luxurious carriages parked in the newly opened square. From the clothes to the temperament of the people stepping out, everything showed the arrogance and nobility unique to the nobility.

The nobles met, greeted each other, chatted in groups, and naturally formed small circles based on region or blood.

Just then, the arrival of a carriage made everyone quiet.

At first glance, the carriage looks ordinary, and its material is just ordinary oak. But if you look closely at the coat of arms hanging on the carriage, you will find that it is extraordinary.

Two vipers entangled together, revealing their sharp fangs.

This is the symbol of the Slater family!

The carriage stopped, and a young noble with blond hair came out. A group of nobles greeted him: "Mr. Hyde!"

Hyde Slater.

The youngest son of the Slater family.

This man who had been cheated by Raven once had an icy pride on his face, and nodded slightly with an almost imperceptible amplitude as a return gesture.

Without a servant following him, he walked straight into the venue, and the welcoming maid saluted respectfully: "Lord Hyde, Baron Raven has prepared a separate box for you!"

"Very good." Hyde nodded slightly:

"Tell Raven to come and see me!"

...
