Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 338

A ray of morning sun pierced through the icy clouds, and the air was filled with the characteristic smoke and fire in the early morning in the southern region.

Mr. Rogue, the president of the "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce in Rock Creek City, woke up slowly to the chirping of macaws.

He pushed away the local singing girl who was sleeping soundly beside him, dragged his bloated body to get up from the gorgeous golden silk wood bed, and then, under the careful service of the maid, he squeezed himself into a set of velvet clothes that became narrower and narrower. In pajamas.

President Rogge staggered to the balcony in accordance with his past habits, facing the still cold early spring wind, overlooking the farmers, craftsmen, and all living beings rushing past the foot of his mansion in the outskirts of the city.

Then he opened his pajamas and started peeing down, reveling in the sound of cursing from downstairs.

Sometimes, the life of the rich is so unpretentious and boring.

Although the life of Rogge, the president of the "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce, has become increasingly extravagant in recent days, to the point where even His Majesty the Emperor in the Purple Palace of the Imperial Capital is envious, but Rogge believes that his own glory and wealth are all important. is his righteous riches;
After all, if it wasn't for him, who accidentally helped a group of suspicious refugees more than a year ago and sold them a batch of food and supplies that could not have been sold, the "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce, which was already on the verge of bankruptcy, might have really failed. It will decline from then on, and become the deepest stone that no one cares about in the latrine of the history of commerce and trade in the southern border;

But who would have thought that the deal that Rogge reached in desperation would become the biggest opportunity for this small rock creek city chamber of commerce to come back to life?

After helping the group of refugees going south for a long time, even Rogge had almost forgotten about it and devoted himself to the deteriorating business of the chamber of commerce. A shocking news came:
A brand-new aristocratic territory has been established on the land of cracking souls;
Their name is Frost Maple Ridge, and they are the gang of refugees that Rogge once sold supplies!

If Chairman Rogge wants to write a memoir of his life when he is approaching old age, he thinks to himself that he must regard that stormy night as the pinnacle of wisdom in his life—on that night, As if inspired by the Holy Spirit, Rogge rushed to Frost Maple Ridge in the rain, and reached an agreement with the old man named Johanson Joel that the "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce would continue to sell supplies to Frost Maple Ridge!
Rogge used his natural business sense to realize that a new territory created by a family business may be the best home for those goods in his chamber of commerce that have been unsalable for a long time due to poor investment!

Therefore, although he could see that this "Igor family" who was displaced was very cash-strapped;
Therefore, although he knows that the Grand Duchy of Houston has issued an extremely strict trade ban on the land of the broken soul;

Therefore, although he cut the profit of the Chamber of Commerce from 50.00% to an unprecedented 40.00% in order to sell goods to Frost Maple Ridge;

But Rogge firmly believes that the Igor family and Frost Maple Ridge are the biggest bargaining chips for their "New Boston" chamber of commerce to come back to life!
As it turned out, he was right.

Not long after, Mr. Johnson Joel of Frost Maple Ridge sent an order to the "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce:

They need food, they need tools, they need wood, they even need weapons!
Rock Creek City is the trading hub of the entire southern border of the empire. With Rock Creek City embargoing the land of cracked souls, it seems an impossible task to sell supplies to Frost Maple Ridge;
But Rogge did it: under his command, the "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce successfully transported large sums of entrepreneurial materials from under the eyes of the Grand Duchy of Houston, across the Lionheart River, through various disguises, bribes and deceptions. Frost Maple Ridge provided important primitive accumulation for this new territory on the wasteland.

"New Boston" and Rogge's road to riches began from here.

Roger found in disbelief that although the people from Shuangfengling looked sallow, skinny, and poor when they passed by Dayanxi City, but now they are extremely generous when doing business, as rich as they are. Planed an elf treasure house!

For more than a year, almost all external purchases in Shuangfengling have been carried out through Rogge's "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce. This huge smuggling group in the southern border has also become the behind-the-scenes support for the Igor family's comeback.

Originally, Rogge was just planning to make a fortune by taking advantage of Shuangfengling—after all, the bigots in Shuangfengling made a lot of money, and the amount of profit given was enough to make capitalists go to the guillotine, while Rock Creek City After the civil strife, trade control was relaxed, and the cost of smuggling goods was even reduced a lot;

However, the real benefits of this trade agreement are even yet to come!

In recent months, Rogge has received a series of heavy news almost in a daze:

For example, Elliot Igor, the young lord of Frost Maple Ridge, whom he only met once when he was transporting goods to Frost Maple Ridge, was actually conferred the title of Duke by His Majesty the Emperor!

For example, the little lord of Shuangfengling has actually become the "President Southern Military Affairs" with all the power!
For example, in the last few days, he just learned that the Igor family defeated an army of tens of thousands of orcs by themselves, and became the heroes of the country protecting the southern border of the empire!
When he heard the news, Rogge was extremely keenly aware of the precursors of the earthquake in the political situation of the empire, so he released the news intentionally or unintentionally, cryptically pointing out to the local merchants that their "New Boston" chamber of commerce is actually the city of Shuangfengling. The only official partner of a rising political star!

It's going to be a disaster all of a sudden.

The "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce, which used to be hated by people and hated by dogs, was full of guests and visitors almost in the blink of an eye, and the local businessmen who came to give gifts and flatter them all had the same request:
Your Lord Rogge is merciful, can you share with us the trade agreement you signed with Lord Igor?
——Seeing the civil strife in Rock Creek City and the rise of Frost Maple Ridge, even the dullest businessman has noticed that the chief boss of the southern border of the empire, the most ingratiating imperial lord, and the most profitable trading partner may not be able to do so right away. To be replaced!

As a result, Rogge's "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce, relying entirely on its exclusive trading rights with the Igor family, has become a trading giant in the entire Rock Creek City and even the Southern Governor's District. The sale of the contract made a lot of money!

There is a Tao, when one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

And on the road to "obtaining the Tao" in Shuangfengling, Rogge is willing to be a cockroach, let alone a chicken or a dog!

Now, on the wall of the lobby of his house, there is still hanging a huge oil painting "The Duke of Frost Maple Ridge in [-]" which Rogge bought from a painter of Frost Maple Ridge at a high price;

Every morning, the first thing Rogge does when he goes downstairs is to kowtow to this benefactor!

At this moment, he was standing on the balcony, pissing downstairs with no quality, while shaking off his body like a fat pig, he was thinking about whether to simply move the "New Boston" Chamber of Commerce to Frost Maple Ridge ?
In the past few days, I heard that the Duke of Houston has been staying behind closed doors, and that the entire Rock Creek Castle is controlled by the "Black Priest", the grandson of the turtle who suddenly appeared...

Rogge felt that the decline of this old city in the southern part of the empire had undoubtedly been revealed. It was obvious that Frost Maple Ridge on the Land of Cracked Soul was the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, exuding youth, vitality... and gold coins everywhere.

"New Boston" was originally made by the Igor family. Now leaving Rock Creek City and settling in Shuangfeng Ridge first seems to be the best strategy for the future...

Rogge was just thinking about these business issues, and wandered to the downstairs hall. First, he knocked on the portrait of Elliot Igor, who he admired the most. Then he wiped a few handfuls of oil on the chest of the maid next to him.

After finishing these routine tasks, President Rogge walked to the desk at the edge of the hall.

As usual, the table was piled with letters of all kinds, basically flattering words from local chambers of commerce, workshop owners and landowners.

Rogge pushed away these useless pieces of paper, picked out a few love poems sent to him by a down-and-out noble lady, briefly read them, and then threw them away without mercy:
Since the "New Boston" sparrow turned into a phoenix, even President Rogge, who was praised by the wind as "beyond the wild boar and the domestic pig", even has suitors.

There are many descendants of imperial nobles whose family fortunes have fallen, leaving them with a meaningless title. For these downcast nobles, marrying their daughters to wealthy businessmen is the only hope to achieve the combination of wealth and status and revive the family .

Of course Rogge knew about the flamboyance of this group of people—he was very happy to let him sleep with a few noble ladies, and get married?Fuck you motherfuckers.

Of course, he also clearly knows that the Duke of Shuangfengling, who is far away on the south bank of the Lion Heart River, is even the most sought-after in the entire southern aristocratic circle-every day, there will be love letters and letters that are like a flood flood. Fly to the Phoenix Terrace, the land of broken souls, with the pigeons in winter:

You know, the Duke of Shuangfengling is single and still young and handsome. If the noble ladies in the south see him, they will all have green eyes and open the gate to release water...

But Rogge didn't care whether his stepfather would find a stepmother.

His concern is business.

After cleaning up a pile of useless letters, Roger finally found the only thing worthy of attention in the deepest part of the table:
Those were two letters carefully sealed with wax. The wax with the pattern of a goshawk spreading its wings was printed on it. Although it was as bright red as blood, it was more golden than gold coins in Rogge's opinion——

——Because this is a letter from Frost Maple Ridge.

President Rogge solemnly opened the first letter, put on a monocle and read it carefully, with a pious expression as if Moses was receiving the Ten Commandments.

The content of the letter is the same as usual. It is written by Johnsen Joel, Minister of Internal Affairs of Frost Maple Ridge. It is the purchase order of Frost Maple Ridge this week. It was all handled by New Boston.

It's the same this time: In the letter, Mayor Joel explained to Rogge carefully that Frost Maple Ridge needs them to help transport (writing transport, read as smuggling) three large trucks of high-grade paper, twenty barrels of dwarf spirits, Ten barrels of "Orwell's Heart" wine, materials for building mills and other conventional supplies, as well as dangerous goods such as crossbow arrows, armor maintenance oil, gunpowder...

Rogge picked up the quill pen, copied the order sent by Mayor Joel on another piece of paper with ease, and then simply outlined a few strokes, indicating where each item should be purchased from for the lowest price.

When he goes to the chamber of commerce in the afternoon, he will hand over this order form to his subordinates—in today's "New Boston", President Rogge no longer needs to worry about the specific procurement and transportation matters, and his subordinates will be responsible for it.

After dealing with the order letter, Rogge turned his attention to another letter from Frost Maple Ridge.

In one night, Frost Maple Ridge sent two letters with winter embracing pigeons. This kind of thing is unusual: in the memory of President Rogge, it seems that it happened only a few times in the past year, and there was something Need an urgent purchase.

Roger carefully picked up the letter, opened the envelope with a letter opener, then picked up the letter paper, and casually glanced at the signature;
Then he fell off the chair with a "plop", and his severe excess weight almost knocked the luxury building out of an earthquake.

——Because the signature of this letter is no longer the usual "Your Faithful, Johansen Joel", but a flamboyant "Eliot Igor"!
Rogge lay on the ground in a daze for a long while, then turned over on the spot, and just turned on the floor towards Lord Elliott Igor... Ah no, a father who is more dear than his father—— Precious letter, I bow respectfully.

Then, he sat back on his chair in fear and looked at the text of this heavyweight letter.

To President Rogge's surprise, the text of Lord Elliott Igor's personal letter was actually very simple, with only two sentences.

The first sentence is: Get out and go to the south gate of Yanxi City;

The second sentence is: come to see me.

President Rogge felt that his brain was short-circuited.

Rock Creek City... South Gate... "Meet Me"?
Lord Duke Igor, what does this mean——

A deafening cannon blast once again knocked poor Chairman Rogge off his chair, his buttocks fell backwards, and he fell hard to the ground—if he was born on the earth hundreds of millions of years ago, then this The butt will undoubtedly be the culprit in the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Just when Rogge was still looking out of the window in panic, trying to find the source of the loud noise, the voice of Tom Lawrence, director of the Frost Maple Ridge Political Department, which was amplified by magic and very familiar to President Rogge, The voice rang out over the southern district of Yanxi City:
"President of the Empire Southern Military Affairs, Duke of Shuangfengling Eliot Igor, and the Supreme Governor of the Southern Border Anthony Dimitri, and the 36 princes of the southern border of the Empire, please kill the treacherous traitors today, Suzheng Chaogang, Kuangfu Emperor's House, Consolation to the heroic spirit!
The humble servant of the Emperor of the Empire, Eliot Igor, hereby declares to the Most High Holy Spirit:

My family did not damage even an inch of land in Rock Creek City. The Grand Duke of Houston provoked the border for no reason and harmed our people. This is a hatred;
Although there was a quarrel in Yanxi City, I still repair it. I set up a monument to swear that no one from the Igor family will cross the territory.The Grand Duke of Houston revived his oath, bravely crossed the border, and attacked the Phoenix Terrace at night, this hatred is two..."

When Chairman Rogge heard this, he jumped up from the ground like a spring, and then jumped out of the villa without looking back amidst the loud and sonorous reading, and scrambled towards the south of Rock Creek City. Run in the direction of the door.
