Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 774: Giving birth to a hundred children
The conversation with Lyudmila lasted about more than an hour.

During this period, most of the topics people talked about were serious.

But at the end of the story, Lyudmila never mentioned why she came to Midwinter.

Bai Yu intuitively felt that her purpose in coming here was not pure, not just to protect Cordelia's safety.

There must be other missions.

The church does not have the ability to send saints to take action. What can make saints take action is probably their own sense of responsibility and mission.

……

When it was time to disembark, the two parties had to say goodbye temporarily.

Cordelia held Bai Yu's arms and was reluctant to let go, but could not disobey Lyudmila's order and left with three steps.

Her place of residence was the church in the middle of winter.

Donghuang Group has been cultivating for several years in the middle of winter.

Bai Potian shifted his focus to the market here two years ago, and he did not hesitate to set foot in Midwinter himself to open up the market here. In his opinion, Midwinter is a piece of cake, and whoever has the ability to open the market can do it. Taking my first bite of crab.

Therefore, to defeat the nobility, we must start from within the nobility.

The nobles were dissatisfied with Bai Potian's canonization, but they did not dare to attack him, for fear of being defeated by the ten evil men of the East. However, force alone was not enough for market behavior. The nobles controlled the industry. For the upper, middle and lower reaches of the chain, the business strategy to block Bai Potian is very simple.

"Grandpa appointed it."

"Designate?" Bai Yu frowned: "You don't even ask for my opinion?"

Bai Yu: "?"

The biggest difference between Protestantism and the Holy Church lies in the different subjects of belief and the different holders of religious authority.

Midwinter is also a country that combines politics and religion.

As a neighboring country separated by a strip of water, there are also a large number of believers of the Holy Church in the middle of winter, but it is impossible for the Roman Church to reach out to its territory in the middle of winter.

Bai Yu asked, 'Where to go next'.

The former was the Winter Queen, while the latter was the Roman Emperor.

It's just that the market in mid-winter is not a market dominated by free economy at all. In all walks of life, the cake has been divided up by the nobles. Rushing into this market will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and turmoil in many aspects.

On the other hand, Baiyu is much more relaxed. At least you can go sightseeing at will, and you don't have to worry about the high pressure in the capital in the middle of winter as in Pyongyang.

The Holy Church also exists here, but because of Protestantism, its influence is not great.

As a saint, Cordelia naturally cannot run around at will and must stay inside the church of the Holy Church.

Therefore, the method adopted by the royal family is relatively simple, which is to open up faith and allow any faith to take root, even if it is some partial sect or gods that have been proven dead in history.

The sect that the royal family believes in is called Protestantism... The number of overall belief sects is so large that it can be said that a hundred schools of thought are contending.

So Melusina's next words came naturally.

This is not a dispute of faith, but it is obvious that Midwinter is also very careful about these outsiders.

Melusina smiled and replied: "Your fiancée's house."

"Grandpa may be confident that if you see that girl, you will most likely like her."

"Thinking too much."

Bai Yu shook his head. He didn't really go to the extent of falling in love with someone he met.

Dormitory 303 cannot be regarded as a normal situation. If he had not personally gone there five hundred years ago, experienced life and death hardships together, and had a emotional foundation, how could he have taken action against Jeanne, and how could he have abducted an entire dormitory? return.

Melusina smiled lightly and said: "I know you are dissatisfied with arranged marriages, but you still have to go. You can't embarrass the Laurent family, right?"

……

Later, during Melusina's introduction, Bai Yu learned about the situation of the 'Loranging Family'.

As for the grandson-in-law that the old man had been thinking about for a long time, he actually already had a satisfactory candidate in mind.

When Bai Potian came here to expand the market, he also needed connections.

If he wants to develop industry along the aristocratic route, he must support a noble family. This method is the simplest.

After careful selection, the most important thing is the current Laurent family.

Laurentine is a family that migrated from Rome. It is considered a semi-fugitive. It has been more than four hundred years since it took root in the middle of winter.

It's just that the Laurentian family lacked enough help and support. After receiving Bai Potian's support, it developed rapidly in just a few years.

Bai Potian sent various wealth, resources, etc. in the name of betrothal gifts... On the surface, he was seeking to marry Laurentine's daughter Ilsa Laurentine for his grandson...

But in fact, this marriage is more like an exchange of interests, a marriage based on interests.

It doesn't matter whether Bai Yu likes Ilsa or not. As long as she occupies the position of fiancée, then Donghuang has reason to continue blood transfusions.

Even if Bai Yu eventually marries another woman, it does not mean that the engagement between the two parties is abandoned.

After all, Midwinter and Rome did not share the same marriage laws.

After figuring out the logic in this regard, Bai Yu felt complicated.

"The old man is really an old fox." "Didn't Her Majesty Lyudmila already evaluate him? She said that grandpa is a cunning businessman. Her evaluation is correct."

"I just didn't expect that even this engagement itself was a fraud." Bai Yu sighed, "Although I don't have to worry about it, I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"The Laurentine family needs this name, so grandpa gave it to them, and there is nothing to complain about. Ilsa Laurent also enjoys praise in the aristocratic circle in Midwinter, and her reputation is far and wide. You may not like her. ." Melusina said with relief.

Bai Yu is not unhappy at all, but he feels that the calculations are very tiring, there are too many tricks, and the urban routine is too deep, and he wants to go back to the countryside.

He asked: "Does my sister also want me to marry this Laurence?"

"As long as you are willing, I will support you in whatever you do." Melusina was as doting as ever.

Bai Yu held her hand, put it in front of her lips and kissed her: "What if I want to propose to my sister?"

Melusina showed a trace of surprise and pause at this question, as if a lifetime of running lights was swirling in her mind. Then she lowered her eyes, with a charming smile, and said with certainty: "At that time, I Will gladly accept it.”

She took out her hand and gently smoothed the folds of Bai Yu's collar: "But now, we are still brother and sister... You should pack your clothes, show your best side, and go see your fiancée. It’s for Donghuang’s initial capital investment.”

Listening to this coaxing tone, Bai Yu sighed helplessly.

Melusina smiled and let go, turned around and said she was going to the bathroom.

She went to the bathroom and locked the door.

Holding the hand that was kissed just now, his lips were close to the kissed spot.

Her breathing was short and her whole body was hot. At that moment, she almost lost control.

He is not as calm, calm, intellectual and elegant as he appears on the surface.

She wanted to hold him down on the table until he begged for mercy, twice in a row.

In the bathroom, there was the sound of water dripping.

Her fingers were stained with water from unknown sources, and Melusina took out a tissue and wiped her fingers.

Her self-control is getting worse day by day.

"Bad brother..."

She licked her lips: "So, how can my sister bear it?"

Melusina suppressed the dark desire tumbling in her heart, thinking silently, if you really propose, then I will definitely give you ten children; if you don't dare, then don't blame me for giving birth to a hundred secretly.

……

In the middle of winter, all nobles have large houses. It is not only their residence, but also a place for banquets. It is said that in the middle of winter, there are at least five places where dinners between nobles are held every day, and the food and clothing expenses are Blood, sweat and money.

Noble manor, Laurent family.

There will be no banquet or entertainment today.

There was a tense situation at the family meeting table.

Blood feuds among nobles were not uncommon, because there was only one position for the heir and only one position for the head of the family.

Laurent is not a family with a sparse population. On the contrary, it has everything that a noble family should have.

The patriarchal faction and the Presbyterian Church constitute the power duality of the Laurentian family.

Originally, with the support of Bai Potian, the Lorenning family developed rapidly, but accordingly, due to the strength of one faction of the family heads, the power of the other faction gradually decreased. In order to make up for this lack, some family elders chose to cooperate with Other nobles join forces.

Bai Potian represents the Donghuang family and Roman power, but some big nobles are not happy to see him support the Laurentian family through marriage, and then march into Midwinter to break the nobles' monopoly on the Midwinter market.

If they just maintain a balance, it won't lead to a tit-for-tat scene at the family meeting.

The starting point of the conflict was... Laurent Ning's head disappeared not long ago.

The only legitimate daughter left by the head of the family is Ilsa Laurenin.

So a meeting began around the issue of inheritance.

To inherit the position of head of the family means to hold power.

Some people support Ilsa to succeed the family head, and naturally there are opponents... The opposition supports the family head's younger brother, Ilsa's biological uncle, to come to power.

A fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides, and even today they have not been able to come to a standard conclusion.

At today's family meeting, the backbone of the two factions' elders were so furious that they almost took action directly.

Until one of the elders said angrily: "Ilsa will get married sooner or later. She has made a marriage contract with the young master of the Bai family. How can she inherit the position of head of the family!"

Originally this marriage contract was the strongest bond between the two parties, but now it has become a weapon used by the other party to attack difficulties.

The elders of the Patriarch Faction also had to cease their activities.

They couldn't make up their minds about this either.

The reason for supporting the family leader is because Bai Potian and Donghuang Group are behind the family leader faction, but this does not mean that they are willing to hand over the family to Donghuang.

"Then cancel the engagement."

Ilsa, who was sitting in the position of the head of the family and acting as the acting head of the family, spoke up.

In front of all the elders, she repeated loudly: "When the other party comes, I will personally explain that this engagement is abandoned!"
