Warlock Royal Family

There is no doubt about the role of money in politics. A new trade route is likely to become the cornerstone of a new power.

The money-making project has started smoothly, and Ladislaus has made progress on another mission.

Through the introduction of Baron Galliani, Ladislaus met Michelangelo, one of the greatest artists in human history.

This character is a great artist but also a stubborn little old man. Ladislaus has already experienced it, although he started with a very low profile to cater to Michelangelo's temper.

"I have admired you for a long time, Your Excellency Michelangelo, it is a great honor to meet you."

Very ordinary opening remarks.

"I don't have any title of nobility, so I don't deserve to be called Your Excellency. You can just call me Mr. Ladislaus." Michelangelo threw back the polite words unceremoniously.

"What?! Don't you deserve a knighthood for such a great artist?" Ladislaus asked in a strange manner.

Indeed, it should not be a problem to give him a lifetime noble title that cannot be passed on to future generations in Michelangelo's name.

Baron Galliani knew it was not good when he heard this, and they were on their way.Baron Galliani has reminded Ladislaus of various matters, including absolutely not mentioning the issue of noble status. Why did Ladislaus break the taboo as soon as he came up?

Ladislaus naturally has other considerations, because now besides the task of "Helping Boss Silica recover his strength", the system has released a task of "Recruiting talents" to him. Obviously, Michelangelo, one of the three masters of the Renaissance If Kiro can poach corners, it will naturally increase the reputation of Ladislaus.

Not to mention the other two masters, both Da Vinci and Raphael passed away a few years ago, and the last "three masters" condensed all the glory and brilliance.

Therefore, Baron Galliani mentioned that Michelangelo was a little dissatisfied with the Medici family's title of nobility. Ask this person's Ladislaus to do the opposite, and deliberately provoke him.

Sure enough, Michelangelo was furious.

"A knight, a lifetime peer, I have left so many masterpieces that can be passed on for 1 years, but only deserve a lifetime title?! Why, because my father is just a judge, a lifetime peer?, because I'm just a stoner, a scribbler, far inferior to you warlocks who are born to feel the magic net, and also inferior to you rude barbarians with swords?"

The irascible Michelangelo spat not only on Ladislaus's head, but Baron Galliani also swept into the "rude savage".

Baron Galliani is very familiar with his friend's temperament, but he just shook his head with a wry smile. With this temperament, the noble young master Ladislaus may immediately turn his back on him. Old friend turn around.

This old friend once scolded his benefactor face-to-face, the previous generation of the Medici Patriarch.

The contemporary Medici cardinal granted him the status of knighthood, but he also publicly rejected it in the Florentine Council, and made a lot of nonsense.

In Baron Galliani's opinion, the cultivation of the son Ladislaus is not as good as that of the Medici Cardinal, but the reaction of Ladislaus is far beyond his expectations.

"I understand your anger very well. On the earth, there are no immortal empires or immortal heroes. Only civilization and art are passed on forever. I am willing to entrust the territory of a Bohemian monastery to you , and grant you a knight title that can be inherited, what do you think?"

Michelangelo was startled when he heard the words, and then let out a contemptuous laugh: "Hehe, I said no matter how stupid you are, Galliani can't stop telling you not to talk nonsense. So you You are so stupid that it’s beyond Galliani’s imagination, what are you? You also want me to work for you? The Medici Cardinal gave me an annuity of [-] thalers every year. I think I sold you Not enough."

It turns out that although the "rights" are not enough, they are very "affordable".

But Ladislaus was not annoyed, and continued tepidly: "It is true that six thousand talers is a huge sum of money, and I cannot afford it, but apart from providing you with these money rights, I will I can offer you something else."

Michelangelo looked at the brash Ladislaus out of the corner of his eye, waiting for him to say something.

"As I said just now, there is indeed no eternal empire in the world, but eternity is such an abstract concept. Since Caesar and His Majesty Augustus in ancient Rome for more than 2000 years, the majesty and honor of the emperors of hundreds of generations are now arranged in order In the Reichstag in Frankfurt, 2000 years may not be as good as eternity for mere mortals, but they are not too far off."

The Holy Roman Empire should be said to have originated from Otto the Great 500 years ago, but Otto the Great traced back to the legal line and claimed to be the heir of the ancient Roman Empire.Therefore, from the Caesar to the recently deceased Maximilian I - the Habsburg emperor, the statues of all emperors are displayed in the Kaiser Hall of the Frankfurt Imperial Diet in turn.

Ladislaus is implying that Michelangelo can take the line of Emperor Charles V. Being able to make a statue of the emperor is undoubtedly the greatest compliment to an artist. Only leaving his masterpiece in the Caesar Hall, Only then can it be said that he is the greatest artist of his time.

Michelangelo had a bad relationship with Da Vinci and Raphael throughout his life. Of course it was because of his violent temper, but the deeper reason was also a competition for the honor of "who is the genius among geniuses". Already dead, Michelangelo has gained a slight upper hand by relying on serving the Pope Elect.

But if he can win the two honors of the Pope's Palace and Caesar's Hall at the same time, Michelangelo will undoubtedly go one step further, and he may be able to jump out of the "Three Heroes" and become the only "superstar".

The honor of illuminating the annals of history, and of course the lucrative reward for serving Emperor Charles V, made people like Michelangelo think seriously.

After thinking for a long time under the expectant eyes of Ladislaus, Michelangelo still said: "I'm sorry, I can't just give up my benefactor, the Medici family."

However, Ladislaus' hard work was not in vain, "But I am really looking forward to serving His Majesty Emperor Charles V. In order to thank you for your proposal, I will make the arm you want for free."

Michelangelo really wanted to leave his masterpiece in the Caesar Hall, but Ladislas was only able to pull the strings. He still had to compete with other emperors' royal artists and sculptors, such as Titian of Venice.

Michelangelo couldn't make up his mind to take risks, but he was also willing to show favors. If he had a day of Ladislaus and went up to the next level, and gained more weight in front of the emperor, then Michelangelo could naturally follow this path. The line has also risen with a rising tide.

Although Ladislaus did not complete the system tasks, he saved a lot of money, and let Baron Galliani see his talent by the way, which is considered a big gain.
