Chapter 219 Too lazy to cooperate with you

In addition to the Simbrika Peninsula, the territory of the Danma Kingdom also includes many large and small islands in the east of the peninsula. The cohesion among the nobles is like the beach by the sea.

It was not easy for a king like Valdemar to join these nobles together. Who would want to die in battle now.

The reason why these nobles listened to Valdemar's words these years was not only that the king could fight, but also because the kingdom of Sverrier, who believed in the Church of Nature in the dark land north of the sea, began to invade south continuously, and they needed a strong leader.

Valdemar blocked the attack of the Sverrier Kingdom by fighting against the countries of the Dark Land in the north and cooperating with the Piast Kingdom in the south.

Now that he is dead, the Kingdom of Piast is disabled, and the Kingdom of Svirrier immediately clamored to fight south.

So the nobles of Danma Kingdom panicked and tried every means to find support, including asking Duke Wesson for help.

Preben was not joking when he said that he cleaned Margaret's bedroom. He is now the spokesperson of the nobles. A good king is a good king, no matter whether the king wins the battle himself or finds a helper to be his mistress."

It was probably not the first time Margaret had heard such words, so she did not get angry, bit her lips, and silently shoveled the dirt.

Frederick looked at the drainage ditch beside the vegetable shed leading to the small river in the distance, and did not make a sound for a long time.

"There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests." He said calmly, "I have seen it."

Preben nodded. "That sums it up pretty well."

Frederick smiled and asked him, "What can you give me? Cookies, mink, or pork?"

Preben looked wonderful, and glanced at Margaret next to him.

Frederick shook his head when he saw it and said, "She can't do it. After working for a long time, she can't dig a two-meter ditch, wasting food."

Margaret was so angry that her lips were bleeding, and Preben asked Frederick helplessly: "Then what do you want?"

Frederick said firmly to him, "I won't send troops. I don't have that many people. If I have more people, do you still expect Flensburg to get them back?"

He made a lot of money in this battle, and the seized Piast army materials alone kept the Dawn Chamber of Commerce busy until now, not to mention the various ransoms and war indemnities.

But no one would think that he had a lot of money. If Frederick could spare his hands, he would definitely occupy one or two cities in the Kingdom of Danma and make a big deal.

Now the Danma Kingdom is only facing the threat of war, and the north has not really come to fight, so those nobles still dare to play tricks and use Margaret to pay off their debts.

If they had given out real money in the first place, Frederick would still have sold them the captured weapons, so don't even think about it now, just wait to be robbed.

Preben was brought by Psyche, and Frederick wanted to give Psyche some face, it was not good to drive him away directly.

So Frederick looked at the sky and said to Preben: "It's all here, let's go after dinner."

Seeing what he said, Preben knew that this matter was useless, but there was another matter, and he asked Frederick: "Duke Wesson, is His Majesty Valdemar's king's ring in your hand? "

When Frederick collected the spoils, he took away the power ring, personal ring, and saber, waiting for a large ransom.

"What, you want to go back and put it on?" he asked Preben.

"No, no, no!" Preben hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head. "I don't have that idea. I just want to wait to get paid as soon as I wake up, instead of worrying about how to get money to pay people when I wake up."

Frederick said: "Anyone who wants to come to me."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Oh..." Preben glanced at Margaret, and said to Psyche, "It's maddening to compare people to others. I really envy Richard Nall."

Psyche said: "Actually, Frederick is very talkative, but the premise is not to play tricks."

Preben shouted injustice: "I know you are his teacher, how dare I play tricks, if you make you angry, if you put a lock on my money bank again, I will be finished!"

Frederick returned to his residence, went to his study to find a map of the Kingdom of Danma and began to study it.

The Danma Kingdom is not rich in products and has no mineral resources, but the fishery is well developed. The mink fur raised with fish is of good quality and is the main export product.

Altaxia brought tea to Frederick, pointed to the small picture in the upper left corner of the map and said, "You might as well ask for their place on Cod Island."

Frederick was taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't Cod Island your Green Island territory?"

Altaxia replied: "The north is ours, and the south is theirs. There are many volcanoes there, and many fire crystals can be dug there."

Frederick shook his head and said, "That's even more helpless, how could they give up the place with the magic crystal mine."

Altaxia handed the teacup to Frederick and said, "Fire magic crystals are not that easy to dig. They require high skills, otherwise they will die. They don't have the skills, so they can only pick some in the mountains by chance."

Frederick asked her: "You mean you have this technology and want to cooperate with me?"

"Yes." Altaxia said, "I can find someone from Green Island to dig it, and we will split it up at that time. Recently, Teacher Psyche helped me improve one of my magics, which requires a lot of fire magic crystals as research materials. .”

Frederick smiled and said, "I'll just take down the whole island."

"Whatever." Altaxia said indifferently, "Anyway, Green Island thinks Cod Island is useless, and many exiled prisoners are thrown there. It’s the same as eating here with you.”

Frederick was speechless to the elder sister.

"That's it." Frederick looked at the map and said, "When that Margaret comes over, let her come to the study to find me."

Altaxia bad news asked him: "Shall I help you get everyone out of the house? The sound insulation is not good here."

Frederick was having a question mark, and Altaxia had an aunt smile on his face: "Oh, our master's hair has begun to grow..."

"Go, go!" Frederick became a little annoyed when he remembered being molested by her in the shower two days ago, "If you talk nonsense, I'll let you dig a well!"

Altaxia left with a smile, and Frederick drank his tea speechlessly, never expecting this elder sister to have such a side.

After a while, Margaret washed her hands and face and came to the study.

"Give me back my father's ring and sword!"

She still speaks so aggressively to this day.

Frederick said with a sullen face, "If I don't return them, they are my trophies. It's fine for me to throw them into the sea."

Margaret's face suddenly became ferocious, and she was about to strike again.

Frederick would not spoil her, he pressed her on the desk, lifted his defense and raised his palm towards the white gluteus maximus and slammed down "pia".

"You can't talk, right?" Frederick scolded while beating, "Now you are begging me, not me. Think carefully about how to speak when begging someone!"

In this battle at Bastion, a technician from the Springfield Armory personally operated the triple-mounted pea gun in order to obtain first-hand data. He was a promising young man, but he ended up with the enemy. Naturally, Frederick had nothing to do with Danma Good impression.

In addition, Margaret had been spoiled since she was a child, and she had never been beaten at all, otherwise she would not have messed up one after another, and finally angered Frederick out of control.

Margaret was stunned by Frederick's behavior. The pain brought her back to her senses and she burst into tears. She didn't cry so badly when she learned that her father died in battle.

The more she cried, the angrier Frederick became, and the harder he struck.

However, Margaret's voice suddenly became strange, and Frederick became even more angry, and his attack was much heavier than before.
