The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

"I think you can understand me, brother Charlotte."

"I understand a little bit."

Charlotte admitted.

"The casino is what you prepared, Earl De Vos, is it a further stepping stone?"

Talking to smart people is indeed worry-free, but if the partner you cooperate with is too smart, sometimes it will make people feel uneasy.

Earl De Vos felt a little conflicted.

He could see that Charlotte was definitely not someone in the pool, one day he would go to a higher stage, but at the same time, of course, he hoped to continue to occupy a dominant position in the cooperation with Charlotte.

"Indeed, the casino is the stepping stone I have prepared. A business that does not require too much investment and can obtain multiple outputs will undoubtedly prove to the Duke that the two of us are capable."

"And now, those damn businessmen are blocking our way..."

Earl De Vos's words paused here.

"Brother Charlotte, what do you think we should do now?"

Chapter 69 Chapter 68 What a nobleman should do

For the sake of ostentation and face, in the previous visits and meetings, even if it was not at the meal time, De Vos would order his servants to prepare quite rich meals, but this time he did not even prepare a cup of tea.

This is not to say that there is any conflict between Earl De Vos and him, which is why this situation occurs. It is probably just because of the mood of Earl Devos, which is really not very good.

The "gift" that was finally prepared was spoiled by a businessman who appeared out of nowhere. Of course, it was impossible for Earl De Vos to swallow this breath.

After thinking about it for a while, Charlotte knew that it was better not to say anything about her suggestion of the strong man cutting off his wrist.

"Earl De Vos, I have such an idea about our casino."

said Charlotte.

"In the recent period of time, I have actually been preparing for a brand-new entertainment method. Although I don't know exactly how the actual effect is, I am quite confident that this new entertainment method can reverse the casino's current situation. facing decline."

"Oh, a new way of entertainment, I know, Brother Charlotte, you can always bring me new surprises."

Charlotte's words successfully dissipated the anger and dissatisfaction on Earl Devos' face.But after a few seconds, the expression on his face became a little playful, and Charlotte also saw a hint of coldness from his unchanged smile.

"The new entertainment method is very good, and I also believe that your method, Brother Charlotte, can help us attract many guests. But it is not enough, far from enough."

"not enough?"

Charlotte considered Earl Devos' speech.

"Which aspect is not enough?"

"It's not a purely commercial competition, absolutely not."

Count Devos shook his head slightly.

"This is a battle between merchants and nobles, Brother Charlotte, do you understand what I mean?"

There is nothing incomprehensible about the struggle between the two classes, so Charlotte nodded.

"It's good to understand, but it may be that you haven't been a nobleman long enough, brother Charlotte. Let me teach you now."

The fingers of Earl De Vos' right hand tapped lightly on the table, and the cold aura emanating from him became more and more obvious.

"For those untouchables who dare to attack the nobles, forgiveness has never made any sense. If you forgive them once, they will only make more progress next time. So in my opinion, that Mr. Aldridge and his family , the most suitable place for them to live in is the dense forest on the border."

"exile?"

Charlotte asked in a low voice.

"sleep."

Earl De Vos replied loudly.

"Things like exile may still bring us some trouble in the future. Only the dead will not bring us any trouble."

Charlotte was stunned. He, who traveled from the modern society, was indeed shocked by the words of Earl De Vos.

W sauce did say something similar to him, but Charlotte just thought that the Sarkaz girl was joking with herself.But now that Earl Devos mentioned this approach again, Charlotte knew that neither W nor Earl Devos meant to joke with him, they really wanted to do this.

Maybe it's because Charlotte hasn't been exposed to this aspect since traveling, so Charlotte hasn't had a deep understanding of it, and now he suddenly reacted.

There are indeed many differences between the land he lives in now and the land he used to live in.

Count DeVos can decide the fate of other people's family so lightly. In the eyes of Earl DeVos, Mr. Aldridge's family seems to be just a group of animals. Whether to kill or not depends on whether Earl Devos wants to do so. Do it, which made Charlotte feel a little shuddering.

This is a land with imperfect legal system and brutal violence. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as cannibalism. In this land, justice and truth will always be in the hands of people with big fists.

This is probably the real reason why W seriously emphasized to him in the previous conversation that only enough violence can allow him to realize the ideas in his heart safely one by one.

"Brother Charlotte, are you alright?"

Earl De Vos looked a bit puzzled, because in his perception, as a member of the aristocratic class, even if Charlotte hadn't done such a thing herself, at least she would have heard of it, shouldn't You'd be right to be so surprised.

"Ah... no, I'm actually fine."

"I'm not surprised, just worried."

Charlotte tried to hide her emotion.

"Will there be some bad consequences in doing so?"

"Bad consequences? No, Brother Charlotte, you have to trust me. There are many things that are not as complicated as you imagined."

Earl DeVos smiled and shook his head.

"As long as we are more secretive when we do it, who will know what we have done?"

Yes, Earl De Vos, you can do it silently, but the girls around me can hear what you say.

The other three girls may not have had much reaction yet, but for Linguang, who has always abided by the knight's creed, it seems that she has no way to accept what Earl De Vos said.But because of Charlotte's presence, it's not easy to have a direct attack, so he just sat on the chair and didn't sulk.

"Earl Devos, I..."

Charlotte wanted to say something.

"Listen to what I have to say, my brother Charlotte."

Earl De Vos interrupted directly.

"I know what you are worried about, but in the final analysis, we didn't take the initiative to pick things up, did we? Mr. Aldridge violated the rules of the game first, and we chose to overturn the table as a last resort."

"What's more, I still have some kind of friendship with the captain of the Kasimir patrol team. Even if someone with a heart finds out something, they won't suspect it on the two of us."

The referees, circumstantial evidence, and organizers are all mine. What do you want to fight against me?

For some reason, Charlotte remembered such a line from Stephen Chow's classic movie "Shaolin Football".

In the past, he didn't have a deep understanding of this classic line, but after hearing what Earl De Vos said, he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand a lot of truth.

"So Earl De Vos, when do you plan to do it?"

Charlotte said, Linguang's delicate body shook undetectably.

"Of course, the sooner the better. If you don't like things, you don't have to let them appear in your sight all the time. But..."

Earl De Vos glanced lightly at Lin Guang who was sitting not far from Charlotte.

"Brother Charlotte, I can give you a face, you can try your way first, if it really doesn't work, then you can only use my way to deal with this problem."

……

Can this meeting be regarded as a breakup?

It should be okay, after all, after leaving Earl De Vos's castle, both Charlotte and Linguang looked a little ugly.

Sitting on the carriage back to her castle, Charlotte closed her eyes, and there were many thoughts in her mind that she hadn't considered much before.

In fact, not long after the crossing, Charlotte already had the idea of ​​having her own personal armed force because of her lack of security, and she also put this idea into action.He bought slaves, and at the same time made Linguang an instructor in military training.

Charlotte believes that as long as he is given another one or two years, he can make all these slaves become qualified fighters, and then adding the forest guards, Senomi and others who have appeared around him one after another, he can Possess a personal armed force sufficient for his own protection.

But after the meeting with Earl Devos ended today, Charlotte realized that his original idea seemed a little too naive.

Because of the gap in strength, Earl De Vos can lightly decide the fate of Mr. Aldridge's family today.Then by analogy, in the land of Casimir, people who are stronger than themselves can be said to be everywhere. If they want to decide their own life and death, will it be an easy task?

If in a certain day in the future, there is a situation where the emperor wants his ministers to die and the ministers have to die, what should he do?

Charlotte never thought of himself as a loyal minister, and he never thought of being loyal to the eldest prince, His Royal Highness, whom he had never met before.What he agreed to Linguang was only to protect the land of Casimir, not to protect a specific person on this land.

What is certain is that if a situation arises that requires him to be a victim, there is no doubt that he will resist.But as for how to resist, being able to have enough resistance is something he must think about in the future.

And more importantly, according to W Sauce's investigation and what Charlotte saw and heard, he can judge that the day when Casimir's class conflicts will definitely not be too far away.

The battle between the two royal highnesses played a role in fueling the flames, pushing the aristocratic class and the capitalist class, who had already had deep grievances, to the opposite side that could not be reconciled.

If there is a mighty bourgeois revolution in Casimir's future, then as a member of the aristocratic class, it seems difficult for Charlotte to be alone.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to confess directly to Earl De Vos that he has no interest in power, and he has no intention of participating in the conflict between the two classes. He just wants to do what he likes like Earl Anthony. idea.

It's just that if he really did this, will Earl De Vos definitely let him go?

Everyone is innocent and guilty, Charlotte does not understand this truth. When a person has a large enough interest in his hands and is known by someone who cares, don't expect to live a peaceful life.

If you can't get it, destroy it, just like Earl De Vos said before, only the dead will never reveal the secret.

"Control—"

The carriage stopped.

"Little Charlotte, we're here."

W sauce's voice brought Charlotte back from contemplation.

"Sorry, I lost my mind."

He shook his head, and after paying the fare, he followed in the footsteps of the girls and walked to the field outside the castle.

Linguang is a very responsible and good girl. Before returning to the castle, she had not had time to rest for a while, so she immediately dragged Senomi to continue her military training.And W sauce and the forest guard were by Charlotte's side, but at the moment Charlotte was still a little absent-minded.

"Little Charlotte, sister, I want to know what you are thinking~"

For everything about Charlotte, W sauce has always been full of curiosity.

"I... what am I thinking?"

Charlotte talked to herself, and then shared all the thoughts in her heart with the Sarkaz girl.

"Oh, so you are worried about this, little Charlotte."

W sauce said thoughtfully.

"Little Charlotte, you think far ahead. Sister, I have never thought about this issue before."

"I won't believe even a punctuation mark in what you said."

"Hey, sister, I'm telling the truth."

W sauce patted Charlotte on the shoulder with a little dissatisfaction.

"Did you forget that sister, I am really a Sarkaz mercenary? People like us who lick blood at the tip of a knife are already living a day-to-day life, and there is no need to think about this kind of long-term problem."

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Charlotte's answer was a bit perfunctory.

"Then think about it now, what should I do in the future."

"Don't think about it, just fight if you can beat it, and run if you can't beat it."

"Don't make trouble..."

Charlotte sighed.

He didn't need to analyze too much, he knew that what the girl W said must have been read from the books in his room.

However, a large part of the reason why the great man put forward the term protracted war at the beginning was because the Celestial Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and it has enough depth to support long-term guerrilla warfare.

But this is the world of Terra. Mobile cities are the mainstream of this world. Casimir is such a small place. Where can he go?

"I need some weapons and equipment. If there are firearms... um, I mean blunderbuss, w sauce, can you help me get some back?"

"No, even if it is me, it is difficult to do such a thing."

W sauce shook her head honestly, but when the disappointment appeared on Charlotte's face, the Sarkaz girl followed up.

"I have no way of getting guns, but I know where to buy them."
