Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Sauron thought this way because, in the game, after Gustav fell seriously ill, Empress Nina gathered all her lovers together so that Williams could ascend the throne as soon as possible. Among them, three were Gustav's followers when he was Crown Prince. As Gustav became Emperor, these people gradually rose to high positions and became a force to be reckoned with.

It was this incident that made Gustav, who was originally able to linger on, so angry that he vomited blood and died.

Sauron quickly shook his head, interrupting his thoughts, and said with a smile, "You're wrong, this isn't refined salt, it's just common salt."

"Common salt?" Butler Munster looked at the 'refined salt' in his hand in confusion. He had never heard of such a thing as common salt.

Sauron said, "Common salt is a new term I've coined for this salt. As the name suggests, it's salt for common people to eat."

Butler Munster immediately cast a first-order apprentice magic element test on the common salt and found that the harmful elements in the common salt had not been completely removed and that some residue remained.

However, this kind of common salt is much better than crude salt that has not been processed at all.

"Every year, thousands upon thousands of people in the Empire are poisoned by eating unprocessed crude salt, and such misery grieves me," Sauron said with emotion, his tone revealing deep concern and a sense of responsibility: "After years of unremitting efforts, I have finally completed the refining technology for common salt. The biggest breakthrough of this technology is that it no longer requires the assistance of mages, and ordinary people can easily master it, thereby greatly reducing the refining costs."

Listening to Sauron's account, Munster felt as if his heartstrings had been touched and he couldn't help but fall into painful memories.

Those faces struggling in pain from crude salt poisoning, those helpless eyes, reappeared before his eyes. He knew deeply what kind of gospel Sauron's technology would bring to the people of the Empire.

Munster asked softly with some curiosity and anticipation, "Your Highness, this common salt is hard-earned, I wonder how you plan to dispose of it?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Sauron's face. He frowned slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

He sighed and slowly said, "Butler Munster, this matter of common salt is truly a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Naturally, I want to present it to my father, to show my loyalty and contribution. Moreover, I have also specially conceived a national policy for this, hoping to benefit the Empire's economy. It's just..." He paused, looking embarrassed: "This national policy is not yet perfect and I need to refine it further."

Butler Munster, being such a shrewd person, understood immediately upon hearing this. He smiled slightly and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Highness is thoughtful, which is truly the good fortune of the royal family. Since it is a matter that benefits the country and the people, this old servant will naturally do his best to assist Your Highness in presenting this good news to His Majesty. As for that national policy, if Your Highness needs help, this old servant is also willing to contribute his meager strength."

Upon hearing this, a flash of gratitude flashed in Sauron's eyes.

Butler Munster had seen through his intentions and was willing to lend him a helping hand. He secretly rejoiced in his heart that with Munster's assistance, this matter would surely proceed more smoothly.

So, he nodded and said, "Munster, I appreciate your intentions. If this matter succeeds, I will remember your功勞功勞. As for that national policy, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible."

Butler Munster respectfully agreed. The two men looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future.

… … … … … …

Late at night, inside the silent palace, the Emperor's bedroom was brightly lit. Emperor Gustav had just finished an intimate nighttime moment with Empress Nina and was now sitting upright at his desk, preparing to review the mountain of memorials.

Unlike other emperors, Gustav was a veritable night owl. As the night deepened, his spirit became more and more vigorous, as if the darkness gave him endless vitality and mental acuity. He scrutinized each memorial with rapt attention, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning, each decision concerning the rise and fall of the Empire.

Empress Nina tiptoed into the study with a late-night snack. It so happened that Gustav was laughing heartily. A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes and she teased, "Your Majesty, what interesting thing is making you laugh so happily in the middle of the night?"

Gustav's laughter gradually subsided as the Empress questioned him. He gently pressed down the memorial in his hand, avoiding Empress Nina's probing gaze.

"Oh, it's just that Montes mentioned some small episodes in Sauron's manor to me," Gustav said casually, his words revealing that he didn't want to talk more about it.

Empress Nina was extremely intelligent. Seeing that Gustav didn't want to say more, she didn't press further. She just gently placed the late-night snack on the table and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's late. You should rest early. These important national matters can be discussed tomorrow."

Gustav nodded, but secretly pondered in his heart: The matter of common salt is of great importance and there must be no mistakes.

Before things are settled, he must be cautious and not let any news leak out. And Nina, although she is one of the people he trusts the most, he has decided to remain silent on this matter.

At the moment Nina turned her back to Gustav, her originally gentle expression instantly turned into a terrifying storm cloud.

She knew the identity and means of that old fox Munster. He personally reported to Gustav, which was definitely no small matter. An alarm bell rang in her heart. That kid Sauron must be stirring up trouble in the dark again, making some small moves.

If Nicholas was behind it, Empress Nina might still be able to remain calm. She knew this eldest prince very well. He was ambitious but incompetent and would never amount to much. Not to mention that hot-tempered Empress Maria, she would kill her sons sooner or later.

But Sauron was a different story. If he could really break free from Empress Maria and be adopted by Empress Maria, he would become a strong contender for the position of Crown Prince.

Thinking of this, Empress Nina couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She understood that she had to take action immediately in order to be invincible in this battle for imperial power.

Since Sauron gave Gustav a little surprise at the Wenk Royal Manor, she could also send someone to pick up the bargain.
