Lord: I have a skill talent tree

When Duke Baldwin walked up to the big fat man, he put a hand on the other person's shoulder, and then pulled the big fat man from his seat without saying a word.

The big fat man was caught off guard and fell on his back.

At the moment when he fell, the big fat man suddenly realized that something was going to happen today, and the Duke made it clear that he was going to be used as a scapegoat.

So after being pulled down, he ignored the pain of hitting his head on the ground and immediately stood up and knelt at the Duke's feet.

While hugging the Duke's calf, he cried loudly: "Your Excellency, I have neglected my duty. Please forgive me once.

I promise you there will never be a next time. "

Duke Baldwin didn't pay attention. He raised his foot to break free from the opponent's restraints and kicked the opponent's shoulder, knocking the big fat man down again.

Then a short whip appeared in his hand like a magic trick. He held the short whip and without saying a word, he whipped the big fat man on the ground hard.

Suddenly the crackling sound of whipping and the man's wailing echoed through the entire conference room.

Everyone present was a little overwhelmed by this sudden scene.

They didn't know why the Duke, who was always known for his gentleness, was suddenly so irritable today and even went to the scene to take action himself.

But they knew that there must be no unnecessary movements at this time, otherwise they might be the next person to lie on the ground and be beaten.

Therefore, they all stood quietly and watched in tacit understanding.

Every time Duke Baldwin swung his whip, he made great movements, as if he was using all his strength.

It felt like he was not reprimanding the garrison governor for his negligence, but just to vent the anger that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

Just like that, he whipped the big fat man hard and repeatedly, hitting the big fat man's skin and flesh to pieces.

I don’t know how long it took, but Duke Baldwin seemed to be tired from the beating and stopped whipping.

He was breathing heavily, and maybe his body was too tired, so he was swaying a little.

When the people next to him saw it, they wanted to help him, but he stopped him with his hand.

Then he threw away the whip and took off the glove on his right hand, revealing a hand covered in rashes and slightly deformed.

Then he took a deep breath and said calmly to the big fat man on the ground:

"Huh...Okay, Donald, give me a gift! Then you can leave!"

When the big fat man named Donald heard this, his eyes were full of despair.

However, he did not dare to resist, endured the pain in his body, and got up from the ground.

Then he crawled in front of Duke Baldwin, gently held the Duke's deformed hand with both hands, and kissed the back of the hand covered with disgusting rashes.

Finally, with the support of several guards, he left sadly.

After he left, Duke Baldwin silently put on his gloves, then walked up to Paul, took his hand, and led him to the fat man's seat.

Then he personally pulled out a chair for Paul and said with a smile: "Please sit down!"

Paul was startled by this sudden courtesy, and of course he understood what it meant.

But because things happened so suddenly, I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and replied: "I don't dare!"

"If I tell you to sit down, sit down!" After saying that, Duke Baldwin pressed him on the chair, then looked around and asked everyone: "Do you have any objections?"

If in normal times, Duke Baldwin wanted to arrange an important position, everyone present would rush to express their opinions.

To put it more plainly, it is to arrange your own people.

But today, everyone surprisingly unanimously expressed no objection, and even praised the Duke for his good arrangement.

Seeing this, Duke Baldwin smiled slightly: "Very good! Since everyone has no objections, let's continue the meeting!"

After saying that, Duke Baldwin sat back on his seat.

"Okay! My dear Mr. Paul! Now that you have analyzed the matter, please tell me what we should do."

The Duke named Paul as soon as he came up, which made Paul feel like he was being targeted, but he still stood up bravely.

"If you want to know how to deal with it, you must first understand why Marlow City funds Red Rose, and what is their ultimate purpose?"

"Oh?" Duke Baldwin smiled and nodded: "Why do you think it is?"

"Since ancient times, business has always been for profit. Maruo City is willing to do business with Red Rose, perhaps because Red Rose promised them huge profits.

If this is the reason, we just need to steal Red Rose's business.

However, I personally think the probability of this situation is very low. "

"Why do you think so?"

"Judging from the known information, the Maruo City Council took the initiative to find Dawn City, and it did so when Dawn City was about to run out of resources.

People have always been there to help the urgent but not the poor, to help the strong but not the weak, but Maruo City did the opposite.

This is not in line with common sense. I guess they must have their strategic purpose. Paul replied respectfully.

"Then what do you think their strategic purpose is?" Duke Baldwin asked again.

"I'm sorry! Lord Duke, I don't know.

The only thing I can know now is that they seem to intend to keep the war in a state of equilibrium. As for why they want to do this, I can't understand it! "

Duke Baldwin waved his hand: "It doesn't matter! Based on the current situation, how do you think the problem should be solved?"

When Paul saw Duke Baldwin asking questions again and again, he felt frightened.

In fact, Paul knew exactly what Marlow City wanted and how to deal with it.

It is also clear that the Duke is asking questions constantly because he wants to praise him.

But the Duke does not know that the more he praises him, the more people will be jealous, and he will end up with enemies all over the place.

Paul has realized that he can't go on like this. What he needs to do now is not to act too stupid in front of the Duke, but also not to act too dazzling in front of everyone.

In fact, he has already done this before, but the Duke still wants to ask.

Paul felt it was necessary to end the Duke's question, so he slowly replied: "I think we should put pressure on Maro City through His Majesty the Emperor.

Forbid Maro City to participate in our civil war.

However, I think this strategy may be useless.

Since Maro City has set up such a situation, and it is a civil organization, and it is under the guise of humanitarian aid, they must have prepared a response method.

Therefore, this trick only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.

If you want to solve the root cause, you must first know what Maro City's real purpose is.

As for this point, as I said before, I don't know.

So I'm afraid I can't provide effective advice.

I hope you will forgive me, Duke."

When Duke Baldwin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he showed his admiration for Paul without concealing it.

The same is true for the great sage Conrid beside him.

Conrid has been paying attention to everything in the conference room. For him, he didn't like this young man who loved to show off at the beginning.

However, since you can say that it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, it means that you have a way to solve the root cause, but you can stop when you see the good.

This not only leaves room for others to perform, but also gives the superiors the opportunity to guide, fully demonstrating the stability and moderation that an excellent adult should have.

Perhaps it is time to consider bringing him into the family.
