Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass and left Madam Anne's residence with a swagger.When some servants saw the Marquis de Lamanche coming out of Madame Anne's residence, they were accustomed to it, but just lowered their heads and went about their own business.

Isn't it just the absurd thing of the aristocratic master, I have seen it a lot.

Back in his guest room, Ma Youfu undressed and went to bed.

He closed his eyes and began to check his state.

He obtained power from Keluo, the god of civilization, and after two levels in a row, he could already cast third-level spells.Now there are six new spells on the spell list, which are:

One level spells "Mage Armor" and "Magic Missile".

The second-level spells "Sunfire Protection" and "Repair Construct".

The third-level spells "Dispel Magic" and "Acceleration".

In addition to this, Yoof Ma also gained two new abilities.

One of the "golem making" is a professional ability that an artificer will automatically learn after reaching the sixth-level mid-level rank.The other one was supposed to be the "rank ability" obtained by professionals who passed the breakthrough test and were promoted to the mid-tier rank.

But now, the rank ability has been upgraded to "Nano Power" by Ke Luo, the God of Civilization.

"Since I have been upgraded to level [-] ahead of schedule, I can also advance the plan to make the golem. I will send a message to Lance tomorrow using the communication technique, and ask Juvenir to transport some abandoned golems. Then I will get it from Philip III. My own reward. After getting the ether crystal, I simply made my own golem in Ghent..."

……

The next morning, when Mrs. Anne, who lived in the Margaret Palace, went to Youfu Ma to sign a contract, a few fast horses galloped out of Spring Spring on the other side.

These knights, wearing the flag of the Austrian public, arrived in Ghent more than two hours later.

In front of the main entrance of "Old Vanderbilt", a time-honored luxury hotel that is as famous as "Silver Herring" in Ghent, Albrecht, headed by the knight, dismounted first.

The tall young man from the border area of ​​the empire went straight to the largest guest room on the third floor and opened the door.

"Wolfgang, good morning."

The young man who was reading the documents at the desk took off his glasses, got up and said, "Albrecht, why did you come back to Ghent? Did you annoy Her Royal Highness the Princess and get kicked out of Longquan Palace?"

"Mr. Consultant, if you mock my employer like this, I will definitely deduct your salary."

"It doesn't matter." Wolfgang shrugged, "I get ten years' salary from you, it's not as good as an annuity from my family."

The personal advisor came from a famous wealthy business family, Fugger.Most of the minerals in the Principality of Austria are managed by the Fugger family, and the cooperative relationship between the two parties can be described as close.

Wolfgang came to serve as an advisor to Albrecht, the heir to the duchy, and it was also a nomination submitted by the Fugger family.

Although they did not give in to each other in words, Wolfgang and Albrecht were still monarchs and ministers and had a good relationship.

Albrecht was not polite, and sat down on the soft chair, straight to the point and told what happened in Longquan Palace yesterday.

"...That's the way it is. The Marquis of Lamanche acted detached and did not participate in Princess Marie's test. But he became the final winner. If I don't take action, I will definitely not be able to marry Princess Marie."

"I sent someone to Bourges yesterday to deliver a letter to Charles VII." Wolfgang laughed. "The French king knows that his important ministers may marry Burgundy, and he will definitely do his best to prevent it. I believe Lamanche The Marquis is a sensible man, and will not provoke his lord at such a time."

"But now Princess Marie has the autonomy to marry." Albrecht shook his head. "Even if the Marquis of Lamanche quits himself, I may not be able to marry the little princess of Burgundy."

Wolfgang smiled bitterly: "This is fate. Who would have thought that this little princess would actually awaken the power of the dragon vein?"

Just when the two were at a loss, an attendant hurriedly knocked on the door: "Sir, a letter from Vienna!"

Albrecht hurriedly opened the door and brought the letter that still had the power of the communication technique.Looking at the signature of "Maria" on the envelope, his frowning brows suddenly stretched.

"My sister has a letter!"

"Ah, if you have the advice of a clever Austrian princess, Albrecht, your chances of pursuing a Burgundy princess are much better."

He opened the envelope and read the elegant letter with Wolfgang.

"Brother, I have learned about the latest situation in Ghent. I think, from the public test items of the Burgundy princess, the quality she values ​​most for her future husband is the aptitude for the king. The proud dragon bloodline, It is impossible to be in the company of mediocrity. As the heir of the great Austrian Grand Duchy, my brother has learned the art of ruling since he was a child. I believe that you can defeat other suitors and win the heart of the princess of Burgundy..."

The content in front of the letter is to encourage Albrecht and hope that he will not lose confidence.The content of the second half of the letter was so dangerous that the two men's eyelids jumped.

"His Royal Highness Teresa actually... let us incite the lowland merchants against the Duke, and even cause a big riot?" Wolfgang's lips were dry, completely shocked by the content of the letter.

Albrecht felt similarly.

"First incite the lowland merchants to cause a riot, and then help the duke to quell the rebellion. As long as he shows his excellent military ability in the process, he will definitely impress the little Princess Mary and win her heart."

"It is indeed feasible in theory. I heard that the situation in Flanders has been quite unstable recently, and the textile guild has complained about Philip III from top to bottom. But in practice, I am afraid it is not so easy." Wolfgang frowned.

Albrecht paced around the room and finally decided to take his sister's advice.

"Well, my dearest friend. I always think too much and decide too little. Now that you have made up your mind, I will do my best to help you achieve your goals," Wolfgang said. With your all-knowing genius sister in the back, we're sure to succeed."

Albrecht nodded solemnly.

Most people don't know that Princess Teresa, who is a low-key and secretive Habsburg family, is the most outstanding heir to the family, and she is also the chosen one who shoulders a major mission in the family legend.He, the heir to the real duchy, was also convinced by her.

Chapter 130 Seven

"In Fort Ward, there are two big families who have been enemies for generations, namely Hohenpullen and Obsburg..."

In the study, Yofu Ma was wearing a loose and comfortable robe, writing the love novel he promised to little Princess Mary.Although it is based on "Romeo and Juliet" as the basic framework, since Albert's tragic marriage is to be alluded to, it is naturally more appropriate to move the stage of the story to Germany.

He has already decided that the names of the hero and heroine are Frederick and Teresa.

These are all very common names in the German region, and they are by no means meant to insinuate or play tricks, really.

Yofu Ma has only seen the movie "Romeo and Juliet", and even forgot a lot about the plot.But it doesn't matter, as long as you grasp the elements of "freedom", "love", "tragedy" and "coincidence".

Anyway, Yo-Fu Ma doesn't insist on writing any masterpieces.With his own fame and status, and taking advantage of the wave of ideological emancipation from the Renaissance, it is not difficult to set off a momentary popularity.

However, writing serious novels is obviously not as smooth and easy as writing color novels.In one afternoon, Ma Youfu wrote more than 3000 words.

When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Anne came to the study and ordered several maids to put the food in order.

She was about to leave, but Yofu Ma grabbed her slender hands: "Let's stay and eat together."

Mrs. Anne broke away symbolically, but to no avail, she sat down next to Yofu Ma's temperament.

She has been working as a secretary by Yof Ma's side for three days.The Marquis of La Manche obeyed the agreement and did not forcefully occupy her body.However, as a secretary, she would inevitably have to spend a long time alone in a room with Yoo Ma, and would inevitably have all kinds of physical contact.

At first, Mrs. Anne resisted, but gradually, she got used to it helplessly.

Rumors began to spread in Longquan Palace that Madame Anne had become the lover of the Marquis de Lamanche.Even Philip III has heard of it.

However, he did not make any statement, and was even happy to see it happen.

Because this means that the relationship between Mayouf and the Duke of Bedford will further deteriorate, and Burgundy can calmly watch the tiger fight.

After dinner, Mrs. Anne poured a glass of after-dinner wine for each of them, and then sat down obediently beside Youfu Ma.

Yofu Ma handed her the manuscript he wrote today and said, "Madam, this is the result of my writing today. Please give your opinion after you read it. Also, check for spelling errors."

Mrs Anne took the manuscript.

I have to say that this is the time she looks forward to the most every day when she gets along with Youfu Ma.This Seris may have various shortcomings, and he likes to bully himself badly, but in the field of literature, he is indeed talented.

She started to read the text full of anticipation, and even Yofu Ma took the opportunity to put his hand on her shoulder, ignoring it.

"Lord Marquis..." After reading about half of the manuscript, Madam Anne clenched her legs uneasily and asked with a little hot cheeks, "Your story is very good, but I have a question."

"Please tell me, for my first reader, I definitely know everything." Yofu Ma laughed.The hand that was around the lady's shoulder began to slide down gradually.

"You...Didn't you say you want to write a love tragedy? Why do you want to add a lot of descriptions of the intimate behavior of the hero and heroine to the plot?"

"Mrs. Anne. Tragedy is the destruction of good things for others to see. And the joy of men and women is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful things in the world. In the first half of the novel, how sweetly our protagonists love each other, how stinging the ending is .I even plan to let the heroine die after being pregnant with the hero's child."

"You really are a devil who plays with the characters in the play!"

Mrs. Anne couldn't let go of the thought that the two young men in the novel were destined to end in ruin.She also ignored Ma Youfu's hand that was making trouble around her waist, and wailed: "Mr. Marquis, can't you change the ending? If you really let Frederick and Teresa and the unborn child together It's so heartbreaking to die. The readers must have a hard time accepting it."

"This is art, dear Annie," Yoof Ma laughed. "But if my dearest first reader would beg me more earnestly, I might change my mind."

Looking at the man's smirk, Madam Anne almost fell into his arms.

At this moment, an attendant outside the door announced: "Lord Marquis Lamanche, Miss Vera has arrived at Longquan Palace."

Yofu Ma immediately changed his expression and said with a serious face: "Okay, Mrs. Anne, let's be here tonight. If you need your assistance in the future, I will send someone to inform you."

In any case, the Duchess of Bedford is still sitting on the England side.Youfu Ma and Vera are discussing important matters, and she must not be allowed to be present.

What is this called?

Being treated like this by a man, Mrs. Anne felt a sense of cheapness that came and went.However, it was useless for her to express her dissatisfaction. She could only glance at the man resentfully and leave.

After a while, the dark elf girl Feng Puchenchen walked into the room.

Yofu Ma ordered the servants to go down to prepare food, and poured a glass of wine for Vera himself.

The lover's consideration made the dark elf girl very satisfied.

After soothing the joy of reunion after a long absence with a long kiss, the two sat down at the dining table.

"Lord Marquis, I passed by the Duchess of Bedford just now. Did she go out from here? Her clothes seem a little messy to me."

"Mrs. Anne is just making a cameo as my secretary. She was helping me proofread the manuscript just now, and we were sitting a little closer on the sofa."

Ma Youfu's statement is basically the truth, but obviously it can't satisfy Vera's curiosity.So, how he would rescue Mrs. Anne in the cave, and then the two reached an agreement and said it.

Of course, he chose to hide the information about the two gods.

After listening to Yofu Ma's story, Vera smiled and sat in his arms: "My lord, I didn't expect you to be a real lover."

"How do you say this? I admit that when I treated Mrs. Anne, I acted recklessly, and even deliberately did not suppress some evil thoughts. But the main motive is still political interests."

"This is your genius, my lord. Mrs. Anne is a clean woman, and she has a good relationship with her husband. If you use ordinary methods, no matter how much favor you give to Mrs. Anne, you will not be able to break through her defenses. She will use money and power in return, but her heart will never fall. But now, when a man who is both righteous and evil..."

Listening to Vera's eloquent analysis, Youfu Ma always felt that this little girl was thinking too much, and her thinking was dilapidated.

Gently flicking the dark elf girl's smooth forehead, Youfu Ma said, "Okay, don't analyze it indiscriminately. Let's get down to business. How did you gain from this trip, and how did the lowland merchants react?"

Chapter 130 Eighth

"Businessmen in the entire lowland can be roughly divided into three groups: the Netherlands, Brabant, and Flanders." Vera, who has traveled all over the lowland these days, began to introduce Ma Youfu one by one, "Let me talk about the Netherlands first. . Not long after this region joined the duchy, there are still some doubts about Philip III..."

"Don't worry about this, I have already received a promise from the duke, which can be used as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Dutch businessmen." Ma Youfu told Vera about the results of his previous discussions with Philip III.

Vera continued: "The industry in Brabant is relatively complex, and the textile industry does not occupy an absolute dominant position. Many traders are not workshop owners, but middlemen engaged in entrepot trade. In addition, the sugar industry in Antwerp is also developing rapidly. The raw sugar imported from the southern coast of the Mediterranean is refined here into white sugar and sent to Britain and Germany, and even further afield in Eastern Europe."

"That is to say, Brabant merchants are not as eager as textile merchants in other regions to join the North France Trading Company, and then open up new wool trading routes." Mayoufu said.

"Yes." Vera nodded, "However, it is not difficult for the Brabant merchants to convince them. The Champagne trade route controlled by the North France Trading Company is very attractive to them, and you and the Queen have a partnership to run the business. The amber candy business has developed a reliable distribution network. Antwerp sugar producers would definitely dream of getting up there.”

Whether it is amber sugar or white sugar, in this era, it is a high-end consumer product for the wealthy class. In order to open up sales, connections and power are more useful than shrewd business acumen.

If the Antwerp sugar makers could use the Queen of Anjou's connections to market their products to the entire French aristocracy, the business would surely grow rapidly.

Youfu Ma immediately agreed with the dark elf girl's suggestion and praised: "Vera, your business acumen surprises people from time to time. The business talents of the Medici family are truly well-deserved."
