Lord of terror

"Marriage is the most important contract. Your marriage must bring you the most beneficial pillar. Your future children are the continuation of the contract. I can indeed serve as the basis for your cooperation with the Manton family, but That's just because I'm familiar with both of you. I, a person who has completely separated from the family, cannot establish a strong bond between you and my family."

The captain was not sad at all, he calmly explained the problem to Kunz.There is even the kind of anger facing the parents of wayward bear children.

Kunz, who was originally very tender, had his eyes widened.

[This... this time I want to speak for the captain, you can't apply your ideas to the captain.For people in this era, even if it is not the magical world, marriage, in-laws, and marriage are not as beautiful as you modern people understand, and are closer to a "contract where two people and two families live together."Don't think that he doesn't love you. For them, love and family can indeed be separated. 】

He didn't mention this method, because in his calculations, this method is really equivalent to no.Now the grand duke came up with such an unrealistic plan, which is equivalent to fishing with a straight hook, but didn't Kunz just take the bait in a hurry?

But Butler J can't persuade him now, which makes his system very irritated.We can only look at the future development. Fortunately, Grand Duke Manton is not a complete liar. His identity is real, and the future cooperation will be real.So, it is better to persuade.

"Then are you going to get married in the future?"

Just in case it's gone out temporarily...

"No, the appearance of you is already amazing. I'm actually surprised that I can allow another person to touch me unscrupulously. Besides, I don't have a territory that needs an heir."

"The captain, do you think you can share me with others? Can you allow me to touch you with the hands that have touched others?"

"..." The captain's brows trembled, "You... really asked a good question."

"Captain, you are not willing to abide by the old rules of this world, otherwise you would not be standing here." The captain was so proud that he despised many things and many people.But maybe it's habit?After all, he is also an "uncle" in his forties. While despising him, he also thinks that others should abide by the rules, including Kunz.

"Also, I don't have a piece of land in the future, so I have to let someone else inherit it."

"...yes...no more..." The captain's brows were in deep thought, and his eyes were bright. He rushed to Kunz and hugged him in his arms, "I..." Looking into Kunz's eyes, he I'm still a little embarrassed, after all, Kunz was "pointed" so righteously just now.

"Captain, we are married and will be together forever."

"If I can really survive..."

"No, if there is no other way, we should get married."

"Okay... Regardless of success or failure, at least when things have a result, we will get married."

When the two came out, I nodded politely to them.Kunz was very embarrassed. In the past, he hated watching TV dramas when the main character suddenly came to have a romantic relationship during a big event, and he ended up doing it.

Back in Kunz's office, Uriel Manton was not surprised when he saw Wandian's appearance, and he smiled at Wandian in a friendly manner.

"Let me talk about what everyone cares about." Uriel put down the biscuits and sat up straight. "The empire has not done anything yet. One, we don't want to go to war. In a war with the Knight Principality, our country will definitely lose. Yes, we can't beat the Knights." Principality. The empire launched the war just to extract money and food from us, and to kill our talents."

The empire, us, and the nobles are important pillars of the Sherfer Empire. They should be a whole, but the great nobles, at least the great nobles of the Manton family and the imperial family, have reached this point.However, this is the information that Uriel voluntarily released, and the truth needs to be confirmed by more information in the future.

"Secondly, Qiao Ang doesn't want to be charged with the defeat of the war. After all, he still wants to be the future emperor. After you left, he is trying to push his older brother and younger brother up."

Qiao Ang is the name of Prince Yatesina. Currently in the cooperation stage, calling a bastard by his name instead of his title is also a way to get closer.

It's not a good thing for Qiao Angla's own elder brother and younger brother... He is using them as a shield, and there will inevitably be conflicts between the royal brothers.

"Three, the emperor is waiting for the Menac Federation to offer more benefits. He is getting older, and his appetite has not diminished, but it has become bigger and bigger. But I can't figure it out. He wants to annex half of the Menac To fill the contract, I still think about going to war with the Knight Principality."

When mentioning the emperor, Ulier looked solemn and wary. Qiao Ang was a bastard, and so was the emperor, but that didn't mean the emperor was a fool.Kunz also warned himself to be vigilant. After all, the royal family dominated the whole matter against the captain. As a result, the captain fled the imperial capital. The seemingly powerful Grand Duke Manton could only suffer from being dumb. They were greedy and despicable, but they Not weak.

"Fourth, the current empress is more willing to see the battles of the older princes than to see them make great contributions to the empire."

It's good news again, the royal family has a lot of conflicts.

"Don't worry about Qiao Ang or anyone in the royal family sending a small group of troops into the Principality of Knights. The princes lack courage and connections. The emperor has no intention of going to war for the time being, and the queen does not want to suffer losses. We don't want to see them go to war, so these few days The manpower at each position is being strictly monitored. At present, all their troops have no intention of preparing food, grass and equipment."

Just in case, holding up the writing board, the communication with Grand Duke Manton was of course written in the common language of the Sherfer Empire: The Menac Federation is eager to go to war?What if they use their own people to pretend to be the troops of the empire?

"Your cursive characters are so beautiful." Uriel praised, "Your proposal is also a very novel point of view, so there is no need to worry about someone pretending to be it. There are countries favored by gods, and the eyes of the gods are bright."

In case of a little sincere thanks: Thanks for the explanation, I am less knowledgeable.

In other words, this kind of country with gods as backers on its head is equivalent to installing the eye of the sky.They still ignore the power of God.

Just in case I put the pen on the clipboard.They really hadn't thought about this angle before, and it wasn't because the captain was hiding it, it was because of the social and cultural gap between the two sides.It is good to be aware of this at this stage.Otherwise, if something really comes to an end, the information will not be equal, and a huge price will be paid.

"Before that, those few had the same interests in treating you. But with the appearance of Baron Monroe, there will be a rift in their common interests. I heard that the last time the scepter The attitude of coming here is not very good? Then when he comes next time, he will become a sweet and lovely person. "

The captain rolled his eyes.In case it looked expressionless, in fact he just suppressed the urge to shiver.

Kunz is naturally horrified by this adjective, but he still has a question: "How strong is the captain to make them work together to calculate like this?"

Uriel raised his eyebrows, smiled mysteriously at Kunz, and saluted him using milk tea as a wine glass: "You are really serious cuties, the emperor is used to doing things after the overall situation is confirmed, and the princes are only concerned about the situation now." Walking around the narrow place in front of the emperor's eyes, none of their people would move too fast.

At present, one third of all the great nobles support Joon.One-third prefer Feidenan and Norberto, Feidenan is the second child, and Norberto is the youngest fourth prince.The remaining one-third wait and see. "

万一点举牌子：看起来是1:1:1，实际是1：0:0

Ulier: "Very correct, no matter who prefers Feidenan and Norberto, or those who wait and see, they will not easily stand up to express opposition or support. Only those who support Qiao Ang will clearly contribute and speak out for him But their support is only because Qiao Ang will be the next generation of emperors, but... what can the emperor bring to us big nobles? Especially that greedy idiot Qiao Ang, more taxes, and our Are the clansmen sent to the battlefield to die? You are the guarantee of more interests, but first, you have to prove that you are indeed the guarantee of interests."

That's why he said that the existence of Kunz made the plan half possible.That one and a half refers to the division of the nobility.

"I..." Kunz's blood boiled at the words, the captain pressed him on the shoulder, and Wan Wan hurriedly pushed a teacup to Kunz's eyes [Drink some tea, drink some tea. ]

【calm!You have to calm down! 】

Kunz: "..."

He calmed down, isn't Grand Duke Manton now hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with them?How did it become "Munro must show that it is a guarantee of interests"?

Ulier took another sip of tea and looked at them with a smile: "Cooperation is for both parties, isn't it?"

Kun Shengguadanzi felt his back was drenched in cold sweat. He was a social fear with a serious lack of experience in dealing with people. If he was the only one communicating with an old fritter like Grand Duke Manton, he would really sell himself. I am still grateful to others.But isn't the Grand Duke afraid of becoming angry when he communicates with an important future partner like this?

"It's really a pleasure to talk to you. You are a pure and sincere young man." Ulier praised.

In fact, that is pure and sincere, you can just say that Kunz is stupid and sweet.Obviously, this guy has figured out Kunz's bottom line in a short period of time.

"Several caravans of the Manton family are already on their way out. I know that there is no shortage of luxury goods in your land, so what they brought are grain and ordinary cloth, as well as some seeds and breeding stock. Before I came, I also helped Mushell solved a problem. By the way, do you want slaves?"

"……want."

"You can rest assured that the Manton family is not keen on large-scale slave trading. The slaves to be transported to you also need to be purchased by our caravan on the way here. The person in charge of the caravan is your cousin Albert. Talented, but very honest and obedient. How about paying the first batch of goods with sugar crystals?"

He simply and neatly presented the initial investment. Even though he knew it was the other party's method, Kunz subconsciously felt grateful. After all, Monroe, who was closed on all sides, needed it so much.Even if it wasn't for free, just because it wasn't for free, the gratitude is even deeper.

It's not that Meng Luofei doesn't have something, what they don't have is channels.

"Of course no problem, thank you very much." Candy can finally be sold in a fair manner.

"So... can it be cheaper than selling it at Fanwatina?" Uriel winked pitifully at Kunz.

"We have dedicated business personnel." Kunz held back this time without being reminded, and Kunz raised his hand to introduce just in case.

Just in case: I'm happy to have a formal business meeting with the person you sent.

"That would be great." He nodded politely at Wan, and then glanced at the captain, "Albert can make business decisions on my behalf, but if he does something wrong, Selfie can... "

"No, I refuse. I have already left the Manton family, and I will not represent the interests of the Manton family in any matter." The captain directly interrupted his own father's words, and showed a smirk at him With a smirk, "We believe in the Manton family, believe in your sincerity in cooperating with us, and even more believe that in the near future, more businessmen will come to Monroe to conduct more comprehensive and extensive cooperation with us. Transactions. Behind these merchants, even if there are no other nobles standing, there will be various churches."

So there is no need to thank the old fox in front of him, he really just came early and by coincidence.

"Cough! Thank you for your dedication. Then, in this cooperation, what can we, Meng Luofei, do? Personally speaking, how can we solve the curse on Selfie."

"You shouldn't thank me. Your affection for Selfie is even more admirable." Uriel looked away from his own son, and when he looked at Kunz, a gentle smile appeared on his face , "The royal family, the church, and the great nobles, all three forces have taken action. The great nobles are easy to solve. We have a [-]% chance of achieving it on them. You only need to bring more land, population and wealth. gone."

Well, it's like relying on Geji Geji.Fortunately, this is also in line with the interests of the Geji Geji. The big nobles want more land, expand their power, and directly crack the cracks. This kind of method that is complicated, takes a long time to take effect, and cannot achieve complete rule is much cleaner.

And when the big nobles felt that the Geji Geji were useless and even posed a threat to their rule, the Geji Geji were already strong enough to act freely.

"Then there is the royal family, including the eldest prince who passed away. The first three princes are all sons of the former Queen Morphein. But the current queen is also from the Morphein family. In fact, they are half-sisters. Morphy Because the daughter of the Grand Duke and his first wife is the former queen, and the daughter of the second wife is the current queen. The Moorfi family is very close to Qiao Ang, and they are also close to the other highnesses. The nobles who support Qiao Ang, More than eighty percent because they are allies of the Moorfins."

Kunz: "Support people in common because you are allies, and not allies because you support people in common?"

"Yes. And Morphine supports Joon only because Joon is healthier and stronger than his elder brother. Therefore, we still have a chance to shift their attention from Joon to the young Fourth Highness. This kind of transfer is in the interests of the queen. As for the emperor...he is a little more difficult to grasp, but he chose to confer Qiao Ang as the prince of Yatesina, which is also related to Fei Denan's lack of self-motivation.

But an old lion, he was not too fond of his elder son.Otherwise, he would not hand over the matter of attacking the Duchy of Knights to Joon, and agreed with him to sign a contract with the Sun Lord in such a way.What happened to Selfie blew up the Manton family, so why not slap the other great nobles?The aristocracy is a whole. "

Even if the nobles intervened in this matter, and no one was relentless when they dug a hole for the Manton family, but afterwards, even during the matter, the nobles who did this could not say that they had no shadows in their hearts.After all, they are all nobles. This time it is the Manton family who are unlucky, and they will be buried next time.

I feel that Grand Duke Manton's words are very profound and simple. He should know the three who are doing it. Except for his own son, the remaining two don't have a deep understanding of the nobles.

Kunz: "...the imbalance of interests within the royal family, is there a chance to tear them apart?"

"It's easy to tear apart, but it's very difficult to tear it big enough to make them give up Joon and suffer backlash. This requires constant political means to do it, but only the remaining half become opportunities. And what is almost unshakable is the divine right."

"Team...Selfie is a firm believer in the Sun Lord!"

"Selfi is also the person who has the best chance of taking over the 'scepter', and the current scepter has been in power for 860 years."

In a word, Kunz shut up.It turns out that this theocracy is not the church, but the favored ones.

The favored ones are the eyes and ears of the gods, walking on the earth on behalf of the gods, they can really receive the gods.In terms of status, it is even higher than the pope, because the pope even has to communicate with the gods through the favored ones.

Moreover, as long as the god's favor is there, the favored one can live forever, almost forever.The only problem with becoming a favored one is that you have to be close to your god.

The example around me is the peasant woman who is still living with the slaves in Meng Luofei. She obviously has a noble status and great strength, but she must always wear coarse clothes and cannot enjoy any luxury.Although the priests of the baby-carrying lady also require simplicity, but if they enjoy it a little, the baby-carrying lady will not be punished by heaven.As long as the job is done well, the gods are very lenient to the priests.

But the scepter is different. The Sun Lord himself advocates pleasure and indulgence.His life is the most extreme joy that mortals can imagine.And he can still have eternal youth... some gods don't make him happy, would he be willing to give up?Normal people will do everything possible to kill all competitors.

Kunz, who was getting more and more excited after being told by Grand Duke Manton, only felt that he had been splashed with cold water.

"How to make him let go?"

"I don't know." Uriel didn't argue, but shook his head frankly, "The current scepter... used to have a worldly name—Shoggart Manton. He once convinced me that he was already in that position I'm tired of sitting on the throne, and now I have paid enough. Therefore, if you shake him, the only chance is not the Sun Lord, or the Church of the Sun Lord, but other favored ones, and other churches. Whether you can let They take their places."

"..." Even the old knight didn't say anything similar to letting go of the scepter that day. Although the favored ones stood with their gods, they were all "favored ones". This is also a kind of interest group. .

"Anything else to ask?"

Kunz had a bunch of questions he wanted to ask, but they were all questions that he could ask the captain or Butler J after Uriel left.He looked at it, and raised the writing board in case: Obviously there is a lot of unhappiness between the royal family and you and your friends, so why don't you cooperate?

Uriel tilted his head: "The history of the empire is too long. As one of the 45 grand dukes of the empire, the history of our Manton family is even longer than the history of the empire. The situation of other families is similar. Because the history is long enough, there are too many loves and hatreds between our families, and we are too familiar with each other. Every family has betrayed other families. In fact, we do not have complete enemies with each other. But let alone who you are friends with.

Moreover, we are all equal, even the poor Huerta family is also equal.The result of equality is that it is impossible for anyone to stand up as a leader. "

Just in case: What did the Manton family think about the slave trade?

"Our family generally buys and sells a small amount according to needs, and does not regard this thing as a serious errand." Uriel picked up a biscuit, "The biggest business of the Manton family is salt, followed by alchemy products. Xie Er The largest slave trader in the Fu Empire is the Bardek family, that is, the family called the Peacock Grand Duke."

Although it is said that there are no outright enemies among the nobles, when talking about the Badek family, Uriel showed undisguised contempt.That's not how he reacted when he mentioned the Morphine family.

Kunz knew about the Peacock Duke. Compared with the level of power and status, this family is more famous for their appearance, and they like extravagance in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Isn't the biggest slave trader the Morphin family?" Kunz asked subconsciously.After all, the few incidents related to slaves that happened in the territory were caused by the Molfeyin family.

"The Morphine family also has a slave caravan, but their family mainly sells 'exotic goods', while the Bardek family sells everything."

Odd goods... the word circled in Kunz's mind.He didn't see the situation of the orcs with his own eyes, so the impact was not big, but those living "works of art" really made him extremely sick whenever he thought about them.

The author has something to say: Kunz: ヽ(ー_ー)ノ I am God! !

Captain: →_→

Kunz: _(:з」∠)_The captain is supreme!Long live Captain!
