Chapter 196 Scam
The city of Kareni, this is the strategic front tooth of the northern part of the empire.

The Grand Duke and Marquis are one of the real great nobles in the United Kingdom. The former can only be conferred on princes with royal blood, while the latter is the only great noble title that can establish a marquis without royal blood.

How many Marquesses are there in the whole of the United Kingdom?

The number of them is even rarer than that of the Grand Duke, because it is natural to entrust the land to the blood of the royal family, but to entrust the blood of the non-royal family, unless you have made great achievements.

So is helping the United Kingdom occupy the North an unworldly feat?

The answer is probably somewhere in between.

But Vega didn't think that the United Kingdom would hand over Kareni's strategic front tooth to him as a marquis' fief, because even in the United Kingdom, there was no precedent for entrusting a strategic city to a grand duke.

The king was also afraid that the enfeoffed country would wait for an opportunity to rebel.

If the royal family of the kingdom treats their own royal blood like this, will they be so generous to someone with a foreign surname?

The answer is undoubtedly "no"!
The actions of the United Kingdom are not in line with the actual situation at all.

Now calm down and think about it carefully, in the process of cooperation and negotiation, the other party didn't seem to hesitate at all, and directly offered him a condition that he couldn't refuse.

boom!
Veigar slammed his fist against the wall angrily.

He now admits that he was dazzled by the grand welcome ceremony at the beginning and the big pie drawn by the other party, but Moore Alban obviously played him like a child, isn't this a bit too much?

The trick unfolded in an instant.

Veigar did not leave, but sneaked back to Moore's manor. He had to investigate the truth of this matter no matter what.

----

Alban Manor, drawing room.

Charles Alban stood beside Moore who was sitting in the main seat. He repelled the steward and servants, and then said: "My lord father, isn't the price you paid too exaggerated? The Kingdom will really honor him." ?"

"When did I say I was going to honor it?"

Moore's amiable expression disappeared, replaced by a look of disdain: "How much knowledge can a young boy have, just draw him a big pie, and worry that he won't be used by us obediently?"

Charles Alban's pupils shrank: "Father, are you cheating on that brat?"

"Can teaching children be cheating?"

Moore sneered and said, "It's time for innocent children to wake up. In this world, effort and gain are always proportional. Those who are not greedy, heh... deserve to be deceived to death."

"Father is wise."

Charl Alban asked cautiously: "What if that brat suspects that we won't keep our promise?"

"Suspect?"

"You are not a businessman, and you don't know much about human beings."

Moore shook his head, and said with a look of hatred: "Our chamber of commerce has issued something called 'lucky ticket', as long as you spend a copper coin, there is a small chance of getting a 1000000% return. What do you think? Is there anyone to buy something?"

"If it's just a copper coin, of course." Char said firmly.

Moore nodded and continued: "Later there were rumors that my 'lucky ticket' was suspected of black-box operations, but there was no evidence to prove that the rumors were true. Will you continue to buy at this time?"

Char hesitated.

In the end, he nodded and said, "Although I also have doubts, I will continue to buy."

"exactly."

Moore Alban said disdainfully: "Although I did operate in the dark and most people began to suspect it, my business did not decrease much because of it, but increased steadily. Do you understand now?"

Charl looked suddenly enlightened.

He looked at Moore with admiration and said, "Father, what do you mean, even if that little devil has doubts, he will continue to do it in the face of huge interests, and even deceive himself, so that it will be used by us in the end?"

"Yes."

"Those adults are like this, let alone a child."

Moore Alban said affirmatively: "Creatures like human beings are born with a fluke mentality. As long as they don't hit their heads and bleed, they will never wake up. I have even seen some stupid people people, even when they know the truth, are still deceiving themselves."

"Teachable." Charl Alban looked at Moore admiringly.

at the same time.

Veigar outside the door showed a self-deprecating smile.

Everything was as he expected, and Moore was indeed deceiving him. He was not the kind of person who was dazzled by huge benefits. To be precise, the less he paid and the greater the benefits, the less secure he felt.

In Vega's view, the probability of giving and benefit is directly proportional.

If it were an ordinary bargaining chip, Veigar might believe it, but Moore wanted to play such an exaggerated play. Isn't it a little underestimated that he grew up under the red flag and suffered from "I, Qin Shihuang, Play money' to destroy the traveler?

"Sure enough, I was underestimated."

When Veigar finished listening to such a conversation, he quietly left Alban Manor.

The reason for leaving is very simple. The first is that the duration of the deceitful technique is almost up, and the second is that he is not 100% sure of winning the opponent. Veigar does not want to startle the enemy.

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Veigar has already made plans. He wants to convey the news that Alban's business family is a branch of the kingdom's intelligence organization to the empire in exchange for a reasonable amount of military merit.

However, it needs to be carefully observed which general to convey to. If you meet someone who is unkind, it is very likely that the credit will be taken away. After all, the heart of defense is indispensable.And he still has plenty of time, it is best to report to the military after finding out when the Kingdom Army will attack Kareni for the second time.

There is a saying how to say it, it seems to be called 'fat and then slaughter'.

The idea is made.

Veigar walked towards the business district with a happy mood. As for the anger of being deceived and betrayed, he had long since forgotten about it. Betrayal, once the benefits are large enough and the contribution is small enough, it may be established at any time. Seriously. You lose.

Come to the business district.

Veigar went straight to the magic item shop in the professional union of the imperial capital.

His purpose is very clear, that is to see if there is any cheap third-order shadow magic that can be purchased. After all, he still has 3 gold coins and [-] skill points that he has not used.

Even if the level of a professional cannot be improved for the time being, he can still enhance his strength through the study of magic. Now the only thing Vega believes in is great strength.

Because anyone may betray you, but only you will not betray yourself.

If supremacy is the end of a smooth sailing life, then great strength is the foundation of one's life.
