Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

"You seem to be more enthusiastic than ever today, and what do you want to ask me to do?" Yofu Ma asked.

This is the fixed communication pattern formed by the two.Women use themselves to please men, and men use power to repay women.Happy to work together, get what they want without any emotional baggage.

"Lord Marquis, don't be such a disappointment. Am I just a power-hungry machine in your eyes that uses my body for profit?" The girl's purple eyes were filled with charming water.

Is not it?

Ma Youfu thought so in his heart, but he didn't understand the style: "Then let's continue to enjoy this night. Well, it seems that under the gaze of the gods, it feels particularly good."

Vera picked up the glass and tilted it slightly.

The bright red wine dripped down slowly, and the slightly drunken coolness spread between Yofu Ma's legs.

Then, the girl knelt down to the ground, like a docile female beast, crouching under the man...

After an unknown amount of time, Yofu Ma let out a sigh of relief and sat by the altar.Vera straightened up, her throat wriggled a bit, and after a few sips of wine, she said with a bitter face, "It tastes really weird."

"Try a few more times and you'll get used to it. Maybe next time I'll eat some fruit ahead of time? It's a pity that I haven't discovered America yet, otherwise I'll come back with some pineapples." Youfu Ma stroked the girl's hair and said something that only he could understand. if.

Vera didn't care, just leaned against his arms.

After getting along with Yo-Fu Ma a few times, she also gradually understood the character of this Seris.Although he sometimes said some inexplicable things, on the whole, he was a good man who was smart, learned, educated, noble, and respected women more than all the European nobles he had ever met.

Not to mention the power and wealth that the other party now holds.

Even if the two sides are only combined for interests, she doesn't hate this status quo.Wouldn't it be nice to be a mistress of a marquis?

"My lord, I hope to become the general manager of a trading company," Vera said.

Since the first time she dealt with Youfu Ma and suffered hundreds of millions of losses, the dark elf girl learned her lesson.

If you have any requirements, just ask Yo-Fu Ma directly. As long as you don't exceed the bottom line and spend a pleasant time together, most of them will be done, and you don't need to play too much scheming.

Yofu Ma, who had been concerned for a long time, nodded: "Yes. Compared with strangers, of course I am more willing to entrust my career to a woman who has a skin-to-skin relationship with me."

Of course, he didn't believe this in his heart.

The woman of the Medici family cannot be completely believed.

Vera was very excited when she got the job she was thinking of.The branch that his father belonged to was not doing well in the family.

The current head of the family, Cosimo de' Medici, the standard-bearer of justice, would rather give most of the family business to his sons who suffer from gout and basically can't even get out of bed, rather than take a second look at Francesco, Send this nephew and niece far north of Italy.

This life of depression, humiliation, and almost exile made Vera accumulate anger in her heart.She is eager to make a career, so that the head of the family who always thought he could control everything in the family, taste the taste of failure.

Moreover, I have to take revenge on my sister who betrayed her family and caused all these tragedies.

Becoming the general manager of the North France Trading Company is only the first step, and there are still many goals in the heart of the dark elf girl.

She said, "Lord Marquis, I want to go to the lowlands, can you accompany me?"

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the lowlands? This winter, the road is not easy to walk."

"Yesterday, I received a letter from Ghent. The merchants of the lowlands are very interested in the North French Trading Company. They hope that the Medici family can help to speak a good word and let you agree to their shareholding."

Since the "Crystal Night" (the London mob besieged the mansion of the Burgundian merchants and smashed the pure and transparent crystal glass windows, hence the name), the Burgundian merchants felt a deep crisis and began to look for a way out. .

Not only did they need psychological security, but they also wanted to find an alternative to English wool for the weavers as soon as possible.

Although the raw materials from the UK were cut off, alternatives could be sought from the Iberian Peninsula.But it is not easy to re-open a trade network.

The mob in England wants to kill, so wouldn't the nobles of Castile drink the blood of foreign merchants?

Burgundian merchants were looking for suitable collaborators in Castile.The relationship between France and Castile has always been good.Then the Marquis of La Manche, who is very popular in the French court and attaches great importance to commerce and trade, must be able to match up the merchants in Burgundy.

Coincidentally, Yoof Ma does have this ability.

The Count of Armagnac, who has friendship with him, is an influential prince in the south of France.The Armagnac family also had a lot of contacts with the Iberian nobles across the Pyrenees.

Youfu Ma frowned slightly, considering Vera's proposal, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The merchants of Champagne were certainly not as financially able as the merchants of the Lowlands.Letting them join the company is definitely an act of bringing in wolves.

And this wolf is a huge, strong and fierce head wolf.

However, with the financial support of the lowlands, as well as a large-scale fleet and a large number of sailors, the development speed of the French trading company will undoubtedly be as fast as a rocket.

Seeing Yoof Ma's hesitation, Vera said: "Mr. Marquis, if you are worried that the lowland merchants will become too powerful after joining the company and threaten their dominance, it is not necessary. Because these people are not united. The Dutch merchants and Frisian As a businessman, there are quite a few contradictions."

After Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester married Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut, the expedition to Burgundy failed, and he could only watch Philip III achieve military victories one after another, occupying territories such as Hainaut, and was incompetent and furious.

In the end, the Countess of Hainaut had to hand over the governance of the domain to Philip III, and recognized him as her heir, retaining only three empty titles.

However, although Philip III got what he wanted, but the new territory was soon, and the ruling power was not stable.

The Dutch merchants who have newly joined the Principality of Burgundy, their counterparts from Flanders and Brabant, will not sit down and eat together.

If you can make good use of the conflict of interests between them, the fierce and cunning wolf will also be tamed into a husky wagging its tail obediently.

Seeing that Youfu Ma was still thinking about it, Vera added: "Sir, you are my biggest support for revenge, and the trading company is the cornerstone that can help me realize my dream. Our careers are closely linked, and you should trust my sincerity. "

"If I can get you completely, the trust between us will be even better."

"What an insatiable man." Vera smiled and drew a circle on the man's chest, "I have three parts of purity. The first part has been dedicated to you, and the second part must be reserved for a suitable time. But tonight, I will allow it. You take away the third purity."

Youfu Ma swallowed his saliva and his breathing became rapid: "You mean..."

"The house has been cleaned up in advance."

"But in this sacred temple...isn't it a little out of place?"

"Don't those virtuous priests do less of this kind of thing?" Vera bit her lip and lay down on the altar, "Come on, Father. In the witness of the Seven Saints, please use your stick and ruthlessly The punishment for disobedient children!"

In the room, the sound of gasping came one after another.The candlelight flickered on and off, reflecting on the solemn statue.

Chapter 120 II Princess Mary's Marriage

After sending Vera, who was walking awkwardly, back to the hotel, Youfu Ma returned to the manor with light footsteps.

After much deliberation—not in some kind of hyperemia, he decided to make a trip to Ghent to meet the lowland merchants.

Anyway, the conflict between Britain and France has stopped completely because of the weather. He has nothing to do except study the golem all day and make some magic props.

Even Marguerite returned to Troyes.

Baron Harperdinner has recovered, and as a wife, she must accompany her husband back home.

In fact, with Yo-Fu Ma's current power, it's no big deal to keep Margaret by his side and reveal her lover's identity. Baron Harperdinner still has to rely on Amber Candy to make money to pay off his debts.

But Margaret couldn't keep her face down after all, and Yoof Ma also felt that it was not a good idea to be too blatant.

This marriage was arranged by Charles VII himself for Margaret, and Yofu Ma openly intervened. Wasn't he hitting His Royal Highness in the face?

Since you've done something immoral, it's better to keep a low profile.

The next morning, when Ma Yofu was arranging travel arrangements, he received another letter.

The gorgeous letterhead was covered with a golden seal, as if there was an air of luxury full of Riffel blowing toward him.

"My lord, this is a letter from the Duke of Burgundy," said the attendant who delivered the letter.

Youfu Ma nodded, opened the envelope, and unfolded the letter.

Philip III invited Ma Youfu to Ghent to attend his daughter Mary's 14th birthday party.They also need to formally introduce their family members to him, so as to enhance the friendly relationship between the two parties and so on... and so on.

The most critical information is left at the end of the letter.

The Duke revealed his true intentions.

He was attacking Calais, but the battle was not going well.So I hope Ma Youfu will lead the artillery unit to help out.Of course, the Saintess had better be able to go with them.

To this end, Philip III is willing to provide a batch of precious magic materials to Ma Youfu - including several ether crystals.And when the French attacked Paris in the future, he would lease the newly minted "Monster Cannon" from the Brussels Artillery Factory to Mayouf at the price of one dinar per day.

With a total weight of five tons, the monster cannon is made of wrought-iron technology and can fire stone bullets weighing up to 400 pounds.Although it was one-third smaller than the Urban cannon that later broke Constantinople, it was still an unquestionable killer in the siege battle.

Youfu Ma was not short of money to manufacture such heavy stone shooting guns, but for one or two siege battles, it was not cost-effective to spend a lot of money to manufacture this kind of cumbersome weapon that was destined to be eliminated.

Anyway, he happened to be going to the lowlands, so he simply agreed to the invitation of Philip III.

But Jeanne could not go with her.

She left for Chalon a day ago to assist the church in investigating the strange fog that occurred during the Battle of Chalon, as well as the corpse of Le Camus and the disappearance of Bishop Beauvin.

As a cultist who was wanted by the church, after Le Camus died, the body was naturally checked repeatedly by the priests and confirmed that there was no abnormality before handing it over to Charles VII for burial.

But in the end, something still happened.

The church suspected that Le Camus' corpse had a lot to do with the previous fog, so it organized the Court of Purification to investigate.However, the Tribunal believed that the matter involved cultists, and that the fog that appeared during the Battle of Sharon was not a phenomenon of the intersection of the celestial spheres, so it requested that the investigation be handed over to itself.

After some wrangling, the Tribunal and the Purification Chamber formed a joint investigation team and went to Chalon.

Donatello lobbied, the Holy See had a good impression of Joan of Arc, so this time she was named to assist in the investigation.In addition, An Wen, who has a good understanding of the undead in other worlds, also went with Jeanne.

Through the technique of communication, Philip III soon received a reply from Ma Youfu.

Knowing that Joan of Arc could not come to the lowlands, the duke was a little disappointed.He also wanted to introduce the Holy Maiden to other members of the Knights of the Golden Fleece.Afterwards, Philip III offered Volgar a short-term contract, hoping that the famous mercenary general would go to Ghent with Youfu Ma to make up for the military vacancy caused by Joan of Arc's inability to travel.

Valgar readily agreed.

If you are idle in the winter, you are also idle. It is better to make some extra money.Anyway, the shield dwarves in the Alps are used to the cold and are not afraid to fight in winter.

After several days of preparation, on a rare sunny day after the blizzard stopped, a team of [-] dwarf mercenaries and [-] humans set off from Lance.

Due to the frozen river, the team had to travel by land.

Although the marching speed was very slow, since Ma Youfu invested money in advance and prepared complete measures to keep out the cold, the loss of personnel due to low temperature on the road was minimal.

After the army arrived in Cambrai, Mayouf met with the ministers sent by Philip III to greet him.

"Good day, Pastor Milot, we meet again." Yofu Ma got out of the carriage and said hello to the increasingly wealthy Pastor Milot.

"After Dijon left, in less than three months, you have become the leading aristocrat in France. All European monarchs are talking about the name Ma Youuf. And I, still only a small servant by the duke's side, doing reception every day. An artist's boring job."

Youfu Ma knew that this was nothing but self-effacing words.This priest is a close minister of Philip III, often in charge of handling various documents, participating in decision-making, and having considerable influence on the duke.It's not as simple as a little secretary.

"Isn't it good to wander in the sea of ​​art every day? Unlike me, I have to be busy with war every day and exhaust my energy." Youfu Ma also took a shot at Versailles - although the Palace of Versailles has not yet been built.

"Lord Marquis, you don't look like you work every day." Pastor Milot glanced at the carriage, "I haven't asked yet, this beautiful lady is..."

"She is Vera from the Medici family. Because of some business matters, she went to Ghent with me." Youf Ma said.

Vera nodded to Milot in the car, dignified like an aristocratic lady traveling for the first time.

"Ah, Medici, may the Seven Saints bless the generous Cosimo!" Pastor Milot returned a salute.

It seems that he has a good impression of the Medici family, who has always been a patron of art.

Yoof Ma and Milot walked in the front, and the others followed far behind, so as not to accidentally overhear the conversation between the two.
