Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

On the outskirts of Clair

City, Duke Murong is a fief of Duke Murong Although it is the jurisdiction of Clar City, it is actually a certain distance from Clar City.

Duke Rothschild's carriage drove into Duke Murong's fiefdom.

In the fields of the fiefdom, the slaves worked hard with their backs to the loess, and the prison slaves with leather whips roamed the fields, and when they noticed that someone was lazy, they rushed up and whipped the slaves.

Duke Murong of the Xinqiong Empire and Prince Murong of the Ziyun Empire are the same clan, and during the period of the Daqiong Empire, the Murong family established a close relationship with the royal family of the Daqiong Empire as a marriage.

Subsequently, a branch family was gradually formed in Daqiong, and the relationship between Daqiong's Murong family and Daqiong's royal family was the same as the relationship between the Rothschilds and the Clar royal family, which was married from generation to generation.

Until the Great Qiong Empire split and the Xinqiong royal family was hollowed out by Bill, the family went into decline and was also divided, and part of the Xinqiong Empire remained in the Clare Kingdom close to the Purple Cloud Empire.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Xinqiong's Murong family still has a lot of property, plus it actively establishes contact with the Murong Kingdom of the Purple Cloud Empire and receives support, and it is also one of the best families in the Clar Kingdom, not much worse than Rothschild.

It is also one of the three giants of the royal capital, and there is also a large fiefdom in the royal capital as a place for the core activities of the family.

The carriage drove into the Murong Manor, and a luxurious castle was erected in the manor.

In the manor, there are even groups of privately armed soldiers armed with steel swords and leather armor.

Above the castle, you can also see ballistas and trebuchets.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the castle, Adelaide was surprised to find that the guards at the gate of the castle were actually wearing heavy armor and holding heavy spears!

Not only that, but on the castle walls, groups of patrolling soldiers were all wearing heavy armor.

Both the Imperial Law and the Law of the King of Klar explicitly forbade any noble private soldier to wear armor and carry heavy weapons in formation.

Although these nobles are a privileged class, the real ruler of the kingdom is the royal family, and the royal family does not want the nobles in the kingdom to support themselves and then threaten the royal power! Because they themselves are political individuals with independent economic and military power, they are capable of threatening the rule of the imperial court! They are even more taboo about the existence of nails in the territory they rule that can threaten their rule.

Because of the Rothschilds' close ties to the royal family, Adelaide never thought of breaking this law.

He could have guessed that other families might have secret weapons in stock, but he didn't expect this Murong family to be so rampant, openly arranging these armor-wearing guards at the door of the house, as if others didn't know.

"You are Lord Rothschild! please come with me!" said

the castle door, and a servant walked out, toward Adelaide.

Adelaide followed the servant as he walked through the luxurious castle, which was even a little surprising to the extent of his possessions.

Because of its close relationship with the royal family, the Rothschilds have always kept a low profile, and the castle is not particularly luxuriously decorated, at least not like Murong Castle, where countless precious stones are inlaid in the corridors, pearls are made into curtains to hang by the windows, and gold and silk are made into carpets!

Adelaide was taken to a luxurious council chamber, where more than 20 people in gorgeous clothes were sitting eating and chatting, and each had two maids waiting.

"Adelaide! Long time no see! We've been talking about it for a long time, and you've been calling you over many times, and if you don't come this time, we'll have to go to your estate! Everyone, this is the patriarch of the Rothschild family!"

a middle-aged man with a beard on his chin stood up and walked towards Adelaide with a smile.

The others also stood up and greeted Adelaide.

"Adelaide, this is the patriarch of the Zhao family in Purple Cloud City, Zhao Xing!" "Long admiration! Lord Rothschild

!" "Hello Lord Zhao!"

Adelaide returned the salute to the southerner, and then walked to Duke Murong's side, leaned over to Duke Murong and asked in a serious whisper

,

"Murong Shixing, what do you want to do?" I see that the private soldiers at your door are all armed with weapons prohibited by law, and now you have brought the Duke of the Purple Cloud Empire, aren't you afraid that Su Zheng will find out and attack you?"
