Gold is Justice

His cautious appearance was naturally noticed by Chao Tide. The prince didn't say anything, but sneered secretly, and then continued: "I heard...you have betrayed the royal family now, and even plan to fight with the entire Blue Bay Empire." Enemy, isn't it?"

Faced with such a problem, Norris did not directly deny it.

That's right, the sudden arrival of the Prince of Tides did make Norris a little nervous.After all, I grew up being educated to respect the royal family since I was a child!And the reason why he was able to become the lord of a city was also thanks to the support of the royal family.

But...but!

The profit that the element machine can bring is really too big!

Relying on the strong productivity brought by the element machine, he can not only produce more materials with fewer hired workers, but also use these abundant materials to fully destroy those cities with underdeveloped economies.

Relying on the element machine for the past two years, the wealth he has been able to extract has even exceeded the past five years!

This almost [-]% profit was terminated by an order from the royal family of the Blue Bay Empire.

On the one hand, it is the royal family who have been taught since childhood to be loyal.

On the other hand, it is his own source of income!

As a normal person, it is self-evident which side he should choose, right?

At that moment, Norris let out a little breath, crossed his hands on the table, and said slowly: "Your Highness, this is really not a betrayal. If His Majesty suddenly issued an order, no one in the entire empire is allowed to compose musicals." , to advocate painting, music, and dance, the purpose is to prevent the entire country from being corrupted by such things... I believe you will have opinions, right?"

The corner of Chao Tide's mouth twitched slightly for Norris' response, but soon, he still maintained a calm look, and sat lazily on the sofa.

He looked at the very nervous viscount in front of him, couldn't help but chuckled again, and said, "Norris, if I want, I can kill you right now."

Norris took a deep breath and continued: "I know. But I also know that His Highness, Your Highness Tidal, would not treat me in this way. Therefore, I will not carry any guards Next, I will meet you alone."

Chao Chao sneered again: "You seem very relieved that I won't do anything to you?"

Norris continued: "Because I know that your ultimate goal is definitely not me. Although I hope to make money, I don't want to make things unresolved."

Tide heheed for a while, then slowly leaned out his upper body, looked at Norris coldly, and said, "The trouble is unstoppable? You mean...that woman kidnapped my sister, this kind of thing ?"

Of course, Norris knew that he would talk about this issue sooner or later. He exhaled a little, adjusted his breathing, and said, "Believe it or not, Your Highness Tidal, I don't know about the kidnapping of the Eldest Princess. And when I know At the time, Her Royal Highness the Princess was already within the control of her influence. I also wrote to her, trying to persuade her not to do such a terrible thing..."

Having said that, Norris paused for a moment, as if observing the response of the tide.

After seeing the coldness in Tide's eyes, he thought for a while and continued——

"Although...she still doesn't seem to want to let Her Royal Highness leave, but according to the news I got recently, she didn't treat Her Royal Highness badly. She eats, drinks, lives, and travels in the same way as her guild members, and she hasn't been treated badly. .”

Snapped--

Suddenly, the tide slapped his thigh, interrupting Norris' speech.When Norris was so surprised that even his butt left his seat a little, Tidal leaned back on the back of the sofa and said slowly——

"For members of our royal family, if we are not treated preferentially, it already represents a kind of bad treatment. We eat, drink, live and live like those inferior people? Why have members of our royal family been reduced to the point where we have to eat and drink the same things as those slaves?"

Norris didn't dare to make any statement on this, so he could only remain silent.

But after seeing the tide, he stopped talking after a while, so he could only continue to speak——

"Your Highness, are you here this time to save the eldest princess?"

Regarding this question, Chao Tide exhaled slowly, and his complexion gradually softened.He stretched out his hand and patted his thigh lightly. After thinking for a while, he said slowly——

"My younger sister... Her closest relative should be the elder brother."

"On weekdays, elder brother dotes on her the most. Not only when my elder brother was the prince, but also to protect him no matter what, even after he became the emperor, he still loves her very much."

"My elder brother often said that in order to train him to become the future emperor of the Blue Bay Empire, the father and mother spent too much effort on him, and they didn't have time to accompany me and this sister. Therefore, he has to take responsibility. , take care of me and the girl Amusement Cheese as much as possible..."

"Especially Tianjiu Cheese, she is a girl, so my brother dotes on her the most, no matter what he does, he must take care of her. Hehe, sometimes, even I feel a little jealous."

Tidal raised his hands, began to lean on the sofa in a more relaxed posture, and continued to say——

"As for me... Haha, that girl and I simply don't get along. The two of us often quarrel on weekdays, and I often punish her. Thinking about it carefully, the strange appearance that she was suggested to wear at the beginning was used to cover up, it is also true. My idea. I didn't expect that she would be happy to wear it like this in the end, turning the palace into a small monster garden."

Norris didn't dare to interrupt the memory of Tidal.

However, from his words, Norris could tell that although the prince said that his relationship with his sister was not very good, the casual smile on his lips, and the fact that he just heard His Highness the Eldest Princess and the mermaid Norris could more or less see the prince's concern for the eldest princess from the vague anger that Zhige showed when he was traveling together.

Chao Chao shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know what that girl thinks of me. Maybe she thinks I'm just a bad brother who is annoying, hurtful, and always makes her unhappy. But it doesn't matter, I also I think so. So... I didn't even think about saving this stinky girl this time. But my brother gave the order, and I have no choice but to try to save her."

Seeing that Tidal was smiling so happily, Norris also laughed immediately, and said, "In this case, I will immediately write a book and let Song of the Mermaid release him immediately! I believe Viscount Garcia would not dare to let him go."

Chao Chao nodded, waved his hand, and agreed to such a thing.

But when Norris was happy, Chao Chao's complexion changed. He exhaled and said, "Just don't write about me in the letter. Just say that you are advising her to let her go in your own way. In addition, A little……"

Having said that, Tide paused for a moment, and waited until Norris showed a puzzled and inquiring expression before saying again——

"Also, don't call her Viscount Garcia, now... she is... Earl Garcia."

Obviously, when talking about the title, Chao Chao had a distinct displeasure on his face.There is even a gritted hatred.

As for Norris, he is also on the spot now.After all, he is just a viscount, and that woman... Now, she is already an earl?

"Garcia... Earl? Mr. Ariel Garcia Count? Your Highness, this title... Is there any mistake?"

Chao Chao exhaled, tried his best to relax himself, and said slowly: "No mistake, it's my brother, what's wrong with his brain, after that woman did such a thing, not only did she not revoke her title, Even raised her a level. It's just ridiculous!"

"Also, my elder brother not only granted her the title of Earl, but also gave her the jurisdiction of the entire marginal province. Heh... In my opinion, this is completely crazy!"

Hearing the news, Norris lowered his head and thought for a while, then boldly said in a low voice, "Excuse me...about this matter, Earl Garcia...do you know?"

Tidal raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "I should know soon. My elder brother sent me here to do this. Now I have sent someone to contact her, just to let her know Thank you Dade, don't make mistakes."

At that moment, Norris suddenly understood the key issue.

Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor has not taken any action to revoke the title, and obviously has not formally regarded Ariel as an enemy.If you think about it this way, then the attack behavior of the Royal Knights may not be in line with the real thinking of the royal family.

Now, instead, the emperor has added officials to that woman, and even handed over the entire marginal province to her jurisdiction... That means that it is obvious that the royal family not only has no hostility towards her, but even thinks that Ariel Garcia is someone who can continue The existence of wooing!

So, the purpose of sending this prince... who is also Ariel's lover over this time is to repair the relationship and resolve the misunderstanding.

How, then, was it possible for a man, after such a substantial act of rebellion, to remain in the favor of the royal family?

The obvious answer is that Ariel Garcia is a woman.

No one ever imagined that a woman could actually act in an out-and-out rebellion.And I have heard before that His Majesty the Emperor admires this woman very much, maybe there are other emotions in it?

After figuring this out, Norris immediately felt that his situation was much easier.After all, if the royal family didn't intend to be completely hostile to Ariel, wouldn't it be even more irresponsible for him, a subordinate who has never really been hostile to the army so far?

What's more, in the future, he may have to pay more attention to that earl to please him, so as to facilitate his future path?

"Then, when does Your Highness plan to go get in touch with your mistress? Or should I ask her to come here while I'm writing a letter?"

At this point, Norris had completely stood up from his seat, slowly walked out of his desk, and stood in front of Tide who was still sitting, like a qualified servant and his master.

"This? Didn't I just say that?" Chao Chao waved his hand very unhappily, "I have already let my men go down to contact that woman. My brother asked me to come and talk to her about this matter. My men and her Talking is the same."

This time, Norris's original sense of peace of mind was stunned again.

Hmm... His Majesty the Emperor asked the prince to talk about reconciliation, which is easy to understand.

But now the prince is acting like he doesn't want to meet his mistress at all...and even asks his subordinates to talk...

Is there really no information error here?

But it's useless to think too much, after all, the identity of the earl is already obvious, I hope that Ariel Garcia can understand the painstaking efforts of His Majesty the Emperor...

At that moment, a smile appeared on Norris's face again: "That's natural, that's natural. I believe Earl Garcia will be able to understand this kind of thing. Then, Your Highness, you will wait with Her Royal Highness after Her Royal Highness returns. Leave? Or do you want to stay with me for a few more nights? Although Xihu City is a small city, we have all the entertainment activities here. Also! I recently asked our opera troupe in the city to learn from Your Highness your new creation The musical "Love of the Mermaid"! I hope to invite you to watch it!"

Originally, Chao Chao's face looked very dispirited.

But after hearing that there was a song and dance performance, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked magnificent!

"Hehe, "The Love of the Mermaid"? Didn't expect you to know this drama in such a remote place? Well, it is indeed a drama that I got by chance. It's just... your small troupe is just imitating , I really don't expect to be able to show much of the original quality."



-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"When it comes to issues related to the common people, things can never be easily solved. Only by doing it repeatedly, doing it a little bit, and doing it persistently, can we slowly turn things around."

"I don't want to see a human tragedy like Mr. Gatlin's anymore. It is a tragedy. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, I need everyone who can join me, and even mobilize the entire Pelican City, to solve this problem."

Facing Ariel's narration, everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.

After thinking for a while, Xiaoyuan Cheese nodded and agreed: "Mr. Mayor is right! We can't let Du Lengjia's problem continue, I believe we will succeed!"

With Xiaoyuan Cheese taking the lead, other government officials naturally nodded one after another.With everyone's approval, Ariel finally showed a smile on her face again, nodded, and said——

"Then, why don't we start now? Do you have Du Lengjia in your hands? If you have, please hand it over."

Ariel knew that these words would offend people now.

Even, I will offend these people who have accompanied me to the present and will continue to go on for a period of time in the future.

However, if the problem is not solved here, then these small problems will gradually accumulate in the future and eventually become a big problem.

Therefore, even if she wants to offend people now, she must find out all the problems at this time... Before everyone has formed an interest group because of Du Lengjia, at this time, she must solve these problems in one go. Knock it out!

"Du Lengjia? Are there... among us?"

Accompanied by Ariel's question, some of these government officials immediately showed a very uncertain expression.

They kept looking left and right at each other, looking at the expressions of everyone around them full of doubts and vigilance.

To be honest, Ariel doesn't really like the feeling of letting the people fight against the people... After all, it's a bit of a diversion.

But to achieve such a thing, relying on the people to supervise the people is undoubtedly the most effective way.

Moreover, from the expressions on these people's faces, Ariel has more or less determined that several people are likely to be hiding Du Lengjia, and she is waiting for them to turn themselves in... or be exposed by others.

"(Fairy speaking) Sister Mint, did you get this refreshing drug from those human smugglers last time?"

While Ariel was staring at the human beings, there was a small commotion among the flower fairies on the other side.

The talking flower fairy is a little flower fairy with pink hair, and she is now smiling at the flower fairy next to her with blue hair and a slightly mature expression, and now she has lost her permanent smile.

The flower fairy called Mint was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head, looked around and looked at her companions who also turned their heads, and said: "(Fairy speaks) Those medicines? Those medicines...I use them For research. I want to know why these drugs are so popular with humans, so that they can be incorporated into our products... Why do you look at me like this? I also want to make us more money."

The flower fairies on the side tilted their heads, not knowing how to deal with this matter.At this time, a flower fairy flew forward and told Qiangwei about this matter.

After hearing the news, Qiangwei was slightly taken aback, and the ever-present cold smile on her face also disappeared.She turned around, flew to Mint's side, and looked at her.

Mint shrank her neck, looked at the majestic gaze of the acting leader, and was speechless for a while.

Qiangwei looked at Mint silently, and after a long silence, she said: "(Fairy language) Do you still remember how our queen continued?"
