After sending off the night watchmen, Phoenix stayed alone in the hotel living room for half an hour.

During this period, even the family knights and close secretaries stayed outside the door obediently and did not go in to disturb her.

Phoenix is ​​weighing the pros and cons of going deeper with Charlie Rex, now Lord of the Innadrix, and the Nightmare Butcher behind Charlie Rex.

Among the five earls of the Rhine Kingdom, the Otis family is not the weakest, but it is not the most powerful one either—the Odis family must maintain a good relationship with the two families in the same situation in order to avoid the territory and business being destroyed. The two most powerful cannibalize.

The situation of being coveted is not pleasant, and the grandfather and great-grandfather of the Otis family used to worry about it.

The elder brother and younger brother enjoy the privilege of being born in the great earl's family. Only Phoenix, who was born as a woman, can understand his father's anxiety, and thus gain his father's attention and trust.

At that time, Phoenix didn't understand the complicated undercurrents in the upper echelons of the kingdom, but she knew what it was like to be coveted—when she was only a teenage girl, there would always be incompetent and confident trash Believing that the property and power of the Austen family could be obtained by conquering her, the daughter of the Otis family, she performed some clumsy and ridiculous stupid performances in front of her, and arrogantly thought that she did not even have the wisdom to see through their despicable intentions.

The Otis family is eager to change the situation, and has been preparing for this for a long time.

Charlie Rex has excellent governance skills, which is the evaluation made by Phoenix after silently observing the operation of the city hall for several days.

But Charlie Rex is not considered a good leader, he did not convince the local nobles of Inadoli to use him.

To some extent, Charlie Rex was even opposed to the local aristocracy-he failed to get involved in the pillar industry of Innatrix, whether it was because he was excluded from the core interest circle of the local aristocrats, or because he was so confident There is no need to get involved in this part of the interests, it can only prove his lack of leadership skills.

If Phoenix still thought that Charlie Rex should not cooperate with the Nightmare Butcher in a hurry before coming to Inadoli for inspection, then after the field investigation, Phoenix’s thinking has changed to: If there is no Nightmare Butcher’s full support, then Charlie Rex is not qualified to rise to the top.

After changing the observation target from Charlie Rex to the Nightmare Butcher behind him... Phoenix's observation plan suddenly became difficult.

This black magician who only stays in the city lord's mansion every day and doesn't go out easily has no way of observing!

Even the clerks and operators of the city hall can't even feel the existence of the master behind Inadoli's shocking changes-he basically won't appear in people's field of vision!

Phoenix even sent someone to Westham to interview the locals. As a result... even the people of Westham were quite at a loss for the special existence of the Nightmare Butcher.

Although it is unbelievable, the fact is that the Nightmare Butcher has almost no sense of presence in the land of Inadoli.

Even if the undead he summoned ran all over the streets, even if the "Talantan goods" of unknown origin he produced flowed into thousands of households, people still didn't have much impression of him.

This made Phoenix very entangled... After all, he only heard the testimony of his own brother Parker, and the explanation from the Gold Coin Church, but it was impossible for Phoenix to have a clear understanding of this legendary black magician.

For example, at this moment, Phoenix needs to think over and over again when making a judgment-does the Nightmare Butcher really not know that the vampire bounty 60 years ago is out of date, or is he deliberately doing it?

For the former, it's not quite like it.

Based on the cooperation request that the Nightmare Butcher once made to his younger brother Parker, he really doesn't seem like an old-fashioned old man who doesn't understand the changes in the world.

If it is the latter...there will be more problems when you think about it.

Did he deliberately let the Church of Gold Coins have the idea of ​​"taking advantage" and let Bishop Lee Jean get used to using his undead unknowingly, making Bishop Jin more and more involved with his undead, getting deeper and deeper? ?

Will Bishop Lee Jean's advantage at this time become a bargaining chip used by the Nightmare Butcher to coerce Bishop Jean in the future?

The Gold Coin Church's preference for money is well known, as long as there is a suitable price, they are even willing to send night watchmen to shine the shoes of the nobles.

The Nightmare Butcher obviously didn't have enough financial resources to make the Gold Coin Church bow down, otherwise he wouldn't conquer a city and grab the local gray industry first.

Putting a bridle around the neck of the Gold Coin Church with the method of "giving up profits" is no worse than throwing money... At least according to Phoenix's current observations, the local church has unconsciously accepted the undead that should not appear in human cities , and will take the initiative to find the nightmare butcher to hire undead to solve the trouble.

"As expected of a person who has spread legends before I was born."

Phoenix exhaled lightly and picked up the cold tea.

The Nightmare Butcher showed an attitude of being able to cooperate and communicate, and he didn't open his mouth like a lion, and was even willing to give up some of the benefits. With the nature of the Gold Coin Church, it's not unusual to hold his nose to make a deal with him.

So for the Otis family, is the Nightmare Butcher a tradeable target?

Phoenix held the teacup in his hand and turned it gently.

She is not afraid to cooperate with tigers. Since her father, Count Otis, decided to give her a chance to see if she can show more valuable talents than being a tool for marriage, Phoenix has never been in an environment lacking in tigers.

The only question is, how big is the appetite of the legendary tiger like the Nightmare Butcher.

"Perhaps...it's time to meet this legendary figure."

Phoenix closed his eyes and opened them suddenly.

Even if it is an evil dragon... as long as it is beneficial to the long-standing purpose of the Otis family, she will not lack the courage to join forces with it!

"Does the little Otis girl want to see me at last?"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Qiu, who was disturbed in his meditation, couldn't help laughing when he heard the news personally sent by Charlie Rex.

"...I thought you would refuse." Rex said strangely.

"If it is a well-protected greenhouse flower like Master Parker, then there is really no need to see you again. The value of this young master has been fully utilized when we met last time." Yang Qiu laughed and teased Rex. , "Phoenix's words... I know she makes you very uncomfortable. Not many men can accept the kind of scrutiny that measures people's value, especially when the other party is a young lady of marriageable age. It will make a young man like you feel to be offended, right?"

"Why did it come to me again? I don't dislike anyone, she is a guest, and I'm not so narrow-minded." Rex defended shyly.

"This kind of explanation that is getting darker and darker is really nostalgic. I also had a period of excess self-esteem like yours more than 200 years ago." Yang Qiu chuckled, "Okay, Rex, we should be happy that the Otis family sent you It's not just young master Parker, but also people who do practical things like Phoenix. Haven't you noticed that she has some Zhao Zhenzhen's temperament, although it's just a little bit, and the essence is far away, but that's not the case. The problem of this lady is just a difference caused by different worldviews and growth experiences."

Rex's tiger body shook, and his attitude immediately became serious...

Yang Qiu, who accidentally crossed over to this world in the autumn more than 300 years ago, at first really thought that he stood on the shoulders of a civilization giant and looked down on the arrogance of the low-latitude world. It was the hard and long struggle for survival that time wears off. These things will kill him. His biggest problem—the cost of underestimating the "indigenous" is his life, and he has only one life.

The earth civilization was not superior to other worlds from the very beginning. The ancestors of the earth who gave birth to writing but were still ignorant struggled in the dark years without historical records. It is likely to be longer and longer than the contemporary earth people imagined. long.

Rex in front of Yang Qiu was originally just a "demented bat brother" waiting to die in the Sorensen Mountains, but Yang Qiu roughly changed his life trajectory and pushed him to the position of puppet lord to receive education from the national team Now, more than half a year later, there has been amazing growth——

"So... she's not disgusting or criticizing, and she's not just looking for information. What she's doing is measuring the value of Inadoli as an ally with deep cooperation?" Seriously thinking about it , Rex gave his answer.

"Yes, Zhao Zhenzhen may not have told you, or may have told you, but you didn't care... She judged that the Otis family had the intention of launching a war, and she had already prepared for it for a long time." Yang Qiu is still very happy to see that the tool people are getting better and better, and said with a smile, "None of the domestic magazines and newspapers have published relevant reports, and Adela III, who has frequent contacts with the capital, has not received relevant information, which shows that Odi The Si family kept this matter very tight. Then Phoenix, who came to visit on behalf of the Odis family, will of course not reveal his intentions before confirming whether Inadoli has cooperation value."

"But the Odis family sent her here, which already shows that the Odis family has a tendency to form an alliance with us, and we are their top priority." Rex reacted quickly and said, "No, if It’s not that we rose suddenly, then the Odis family would choose the Bartleis family as an alliance, and it would be much easier to cooperate with the Bartleis family than with us, as long as Earl Odis is willing to let go of his support for Adela III to strive for advancement. Duke, Adela III will do his best to help!"

"Their family needs the fighting power of the Bartles family's city defense army, and our undead defeated the city defense army, so Phoenix brings her family knights to the city hall every day to observe our undead!"

Yang Qiu nodded and said with a smile: "Then tell me, is it necessary for us to accept the olive branch that Odis's family handed over?"

Knowing that Yang was testing him, Rex thought carefully for a while before saying cautiously: "I think...it depends on who the enemy of the Otis family is. If the Odis family is against the lords of the Rhine Kingdom Initiate a war, then we should not participate in it. This will expose us to the eyes of all the major forces in the country. It is not a good thing for us. Inadoli needs more time to develop, and it is not appropriate to become an imaginary enemy of a certain force too early .”

Yang Qiu smiled approvingly and nodded again.

Innadelli’s development path actually does not require any complicated political struggles. It is enough to have the national team build a cadre team, send talents to build infrastructure, and develop steadily—flat push—and develop an infinite cycle.

What Yang Qiu needs to do is to protect this foreign regime, which is still in its infancy, from making enemies everywhere prematurely and attracting too powerful enemies... Otherwise, how could he tolerate those nobles staying in the same city as him and breathing the same way? fresh air?

Hanging the city gate to show the public is the best destination for those fat-brained guys.

But not engaging in dirty methods does not mean that you can not understand dirty methods.

The greatest means of protection for children from being harmed is not to prevent children from receiving correct sex education but to see advertisements for aphrodisiacs all over the street. In the same way, the means of protection to prevent the immature regime from dying is not to let the regime People inside don't know what conspiracies and tricks are.

Rex, a pure idealist, also learned to weigh the pros and cons, which is enough to prove that the work of the national team is fruitful.

When Phoenix officially visited Yang Qiu in the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Qiu asked Rex to accompany him to see for himself how the daughter of a great nobleman and a mature local politician would perform on formal occasions.

So... Rex saw with his own eyes a beautiful woman dressed up to attend, radiant and dressed like a courtesan on the cover of Wangdu Fashion Magazine.

"Good day, Mr. Yang, you are younger than I imagined." Phoenix with his bright red lips covered half of his face with a delicate fan, like a shy noble lady seeing an excellent gentleman who makes people's heart beat Smiling at Yang Qiu that way.

Rex: "..."

He suddenly felt that a woman is suitable for the job of a politician... The iron lady who runs to the city hall in a horse riding suit every day, turns into a lady when she says she is a lady!
