Transcendent Noble

Tornance was born in the Aristocratic Family, a priest of El Kingdom. His great-grandfather and father were both fighting priests, and they died in the battle against the twilight jackals. The young Tornance was deeply influenced by his family and wanted to be a scholar priest. However, he has a strong physique, a firm belief, a simple mind, but he is not smart enough to learn even the most basic mathematics. For this reason, Tornance was not less ridiculed by his friends. Although he successfully passed the Holy Light selection of the monastery, he could only accept the enlightenment of Paladin, and eventually became one of the only five Level 6 Paladins, and it was the most powerful. one.

The name of the first Paladin did not change Tornance's yearning and admiration for priest scholar. When he was young, Tornance liked to listen to the negotiations between the resident priest and the lord. He could understand every word they said, but he didn't understand the meaning of the whole sentence. Tornance believes this is the wisdom of priest scholar, and tries to imitate it. He always remembers Clement's teaching: if you don't understand, ask until you understand.

So, the first Paladin became a well-known annoying spirit among the high-level priests. He has a strong curiosity about political strategies and the anecdotes of the upper-class nobles. Showing off knowledge is his worst hobby. Tornance always uses some secrets to whet the appetite of others. When you prick up your ears to hear the truth, he will tell you with regret: It's a big deal, I can't say it!

Bori Archbishop Oleg, Pope Clement, and Tornance's father came from the same monastery and were trained as a pastor apprentice under the same tutor. It can be said that Oleg and Clement have witnessed the growth of Tornance and are familiar with his personality.

Clement thinks Tornance is not stupid, but his body is too strong, his soul focuses on the control of himself, and he is not sensitive enough to complicated information. This is the commonality of the fierce warrior, which is as the saying goes: well-developed limbs and simple mind.

Simple people do things with extra concentration and long-lasting. Tornance honed martial skills can make the hair and eyebrows bald. Being stuck by this kind of guy makes anyone feel a headache.

Now Tornance has stuck to Oleg. The red-clothed Archbishop decided to satisfy the curiosity of the first Paladin, otherwise he would chat endlessly. Anyway, this guy's mouth is as tight as the city wall of the Southern Fortress.

"Okay. I'll explain it to you." Oleg sat down in the original position of the chief referee and said: "Marquis Sophia is a business nobleman. She completed the commission of the mountain tribe. Not only will she get a The followers of Urusa and the two weapon masters can also completely monopolize the trade of Arrett by virtue of the friendship of the mountain tribe. However, her relationship with the royal family of Gambis is bad, and the incident on O'gar Island made her realize that she has already been involved. After entering a few Great Influence games, Saber-Toothed Tiger Business Group is in a very dangerous situation. If she sends this group of Barbarians across the river, the Augustus family is very likely to unite with Lazarus and directly announce her death... This is almost certain Yes! So, she has to use the power of Barbarian to negotiate with the Gambis royal family, first try to keep her position, instead of considering the development of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Let’s look at the Sasan Empire again. The relationship between humans has always been cold. This time, they asked Marquis Sophia to lead Barbarian to go south, indicating that the mountain tribes can communicate with humans, at least they respect our human territory. For the Sasan Empire, this is an opportunity to form an alliance with Barbarian. Unfortunately, The mountain tribe found the wrong helper. The Sasan Empire could not allow the Three Kingdoms to get along with Barbarian, but they could not refuse Barbarian's request for passage... Who knows how these barbarians will react?"

"The Dean Friedes personally designed the route for Barbarian to go south, avoiding Dodo and Gambis Kingdom, from the secret trade road developed by Sophia directly into Naville Kingdom, then detoured from the wild to Suse Kingdom, and finally arrived at our Borui Kingdom. On the way, our church concealed Barbarian’s whereabouts and destination, and even King Naville didn’t know the specific information."

"Some time ago, the emissary of the head of the regiment brought me his In a personal letter, he hopes that the Borui Kingdom will leave Sophia. As long as Barbarian crosses the river smoothly, the Grand Chief and Dean Friedes will request Archbishop Lazarus and the Augustus family to announce Sophia's death through the Cardinal. In this way, it will be cut off. The relationship between the Three Kingdoms and the mountain tribes. The Borui Kingdom and the Sasan Empire have no fundamental conflict of interest. If the caravans of the Borui Kingdom want to trade with Barbarian, they must pass S The territory of asan Empire. Relying on its geographical advantages, Sasan Empire managed to form an alliance with Barbarian with the help of the caravan of the Kingdom of Borui. "

Tornance rolled his eyes for a long time, and said in a low, muffled voice: "The leader and Friedes are idiots!" Wouldn't it be better for Sophia to join Sasan Empire? "

"Because the Borui Kingdom has ships. Oleg touched his nose and explained helplessly: "The Borui Kingdom occupies the seven islands, and no one can threaten them. Sasanian wants to send Barbarian to cross the river by Borui people, Borui people want to trade with Barbarian and rely on the way of Sasan Empire, the two sides can only cooperate with each other. "

Tornance slapped his head and suddenly realized "Oh".

Oleg continued: "There must be minerals in Mount Arret, and the alliance between Sasan Empire and Barbarian is bound to break the existing Balance. A large-scale unification war is not the result we want to see. The trouble that Barbarian faces is also a real problem. Sasan Empire will not act rashly until the answer is clear. Who will ally with trouble? Keep Barbarian in Centaur Hills first, then try to find out the truth, and..." Oleg turned to Clement and said, "Actually, you want to direct Sylvia's eyes to Southern Continent, right? "

Clement nodded: "The philosophy of the Radiance Knight group is not wrong, but the style of action is too radical. The result of the direct confrontation between Sasan Empire and Spiritual God Knight is the full-scale battle of Two Great Factions. Fortunately, Viscount Randal turned out to be born, and his restraint gate is really a wonderful stroke. The lord of the south is heading south and the lord of the north is heading north. Internal conflicts should be resolved at the negotiating table. "

"Do you think that the new agriculture, animal husbandry and water conservancy projects are the work of the Viscount Randal?" Oleg asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure either. But... don't you know the level of the silver tower? Clement shook his head and said with a smile: "I carefully studied the changes in Centaur Hills and found that everything is related to Viscount Randal... I didn't doubt him before, but the child actually planted kidney beans on the hills. Launched the public carriage...The original idea is exactly the same as the new agriculture and animal husbandry and water conservancy projects. It is rare that he has a good impression of our church, so I want to meet him in person. "

"en! "Tornance is very serious and nodded, like an Archbishop.

Clement suddenly asked: "What's the matter with the Ephesus family?" "

Oleg pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "The Ephesus family has held the position of Minister of Finance for more than 300 years. Regarding this, Borui’s royal nobles have always criticized, and Ephesus has done nothing less to fight against political enemies. In order to maintain the smooth flow of trade, the Ephesus family maintains close contacts with the great nobles of other kingdoms. The Borui Palace ministers often use the Ephesus family contacts in foreign affairs. In recent decades, they even have the title of'Borui Foreign Minister'. Most importantly, they are too rich! "

"The Ephesus family has accumulated more wealth than any other ruling family. At this time, the spy who executed Gambis privately by the Marquis of Ephesus gave Duke Peter an excuse. I make sure that the family members of the Marquis of Ephesus are not implicated, and it is worthy of his annual donation of 5000 kinsoul. Oleg sighed.

The first Paladin came over and asked, "Ephesus is rich?" How much is it? "

"The accumulation of the Ephesus family over the centuries will not be less than 10 million Kinsoul. "Paused, Archbishop said again: "Five Great Families promised to use 1 million Kingsore to build the public transportation system of Borui Kingdom." "

"This is the internal affairs of the Borui Kingdom, and we will not interfere. "Clement laughed, and asked: "How does Ephesus Chamber of Commerce deal with it?" "

"The Chamber of Commerce is controlled by the ruling family in turn, and other families exercise supervision. The Peter family is the ruling family in this term, and the Duke of Peter has his eldest son Raymond lead the Chamber of Commerce. "

"In other words, the Peter family dominated this matter? "

"Yes. "Oleg is definitely nodded.

"Five Great Families constrain each other, and they can get involved in any issue about a year. Clement frowned and asked, "I'm curious, what price the Peter family has paid, and persuade other families to keep quiet about it?" "

Oleg leaned on the back of the chair, said with a smile: "It is reported that the Severin Master of the Peter family has improved the formula of the energy potion. The new potion is far more effective than ordinary energy potions and can be significantly Improve the success rate of Knight's promotion. "

"Improved formula? "Clement expression moved and asked: "Is the news true?" "

"My battle priest and Paladin are familiar with every Knight in the Borui Kingdom. The new formula cannot be hidden from me, and Duke Peter has no need to deceive me. "Oleg said: "There are signs that the new formula will use Yaruite's unique medicine ingredient. "

"This makes sense. "Lemonte nodded and said: "The trade of Mount Arret is related to the raw materials of the new potion, so the Chamber of Commerce cannot be controlled by the Ephesus family. No wonder their conditions for recruiting Sophia are so favorable. "

"Well, I think so too. "The first Paladin expressed his views very seriously.

Clement thought for a moment and continued: "Sophia rejected the invitation of the Borui Kingdom, and Centaur Hills will build a port again. Five Great Families may not give up. "

"Soft ones are not good, only hard ones. Seeing Clement's expressionless face, Oleg added: "Don't worry, I will never let Five Great Families ruin your strategic vision of going north and going south." "

"hmph. What am I worried about? The Borui Kingdom is located in the southeast, and others can't threaten the seven islands, and they can't help other forces either. The so-called tough tactics can only be shameless tricks. "Clement rubbed the mithril scepter and said indifferently.

Oleg gave a dry smile and said, "I don't know... The Peter family seems to have the confidence to make Sophia bow to give up." However, don't expect the Borui Kingdom to send scholars and craftsmen to help Centaur Hills build the port. "

Clement was silent for a moment, said with a smile: "This is a brand new beginning. Borui Kingdom’s failure to actively participate is their loss. "

————————

"This is a rare opportunity. It is your loss if you do not participate! "

The Whispering Hotel in the Honggang Wharf District, the meeting place for Masked Brotherhood members, the bloody boss Red Beard waving his furry arms, staring fiercely at the representatives of the major gangs, said gloomily: "To tell you the truth, Masked Brotherhood will be the periphery of the Southwind Chamber of Commerce from now on. Brotherhood is now in charge of our bloody hands. Whoever dares to ruin me will have to die! "

Taken in the arrogance of the red beard, the fierce and cunning gang leaders were silent. After a long time, a thin man with a vulture face opened the mouth and said: "Red... bloody hands Boss, it is of course a good thing that Brotherhood's influence expands to the sites of Dodo and Sasanian, but Chamber of Commerce serves the noble lords. We conspired with the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce. Isn't that courting death? "

"hehe, the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce is not an ordinary Chamber of Commerce. The director of the Chamber of Commerce is Knight..." Red beard looked around and said, "Don't worry, we don't need to deal with Wimbledon directly. Home of Chamber of Commerce. Those vendors who cooperate with the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce are the targets of Brotherhood. I want them to betray the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, no matter what means! "

"Of course there is no problem dealing with vendors. "Another gang leader said, "However, the colleagues everywhere are not good people. They are in contact with the sheriff. We mobilize the merchants to smash their signs." We are not afraid to fight the fire together, it would be fatal to provoke the sheriff. Don't forget, a year ago, a team of Brotherhood was in Deepwater City in Gambis, and even the double-sword Nicholai couldn't escape. "

"Double Knife" Nicholai is an elite mercenary trained secretly by Masked Brotherhood. A pair of scimitars makes Major Perfection a rare enemy. Unlike ordinary gang members, Nicholai is responsible for suppressing the bandits of Eastern Alliance. , Is a real warrior. However, Nicholai and his men died silently in Deepwater City in Gambis, and the Masked Brotherhood's stronghold in Deepwater City was also pulled up by the roots. Although there is no definite news, Brotherhood’s High-level leaders believe that Nicholai was dealt with by the Sheriff of Deepwater City. This incident once again proves that Brotherhood can never provoke the Sheriff’s commandments.

"Nicholai is dead, who can escape? No amount of human lives will be enough! "

"Yes, if you kill the watchdog, the owner is not happy. "

"This can't be anxious. "

Several gang bosses talked to each other, discussing spiritedly. Red beard stood up, propped up on the table and said: "The above matters are decided by the people above. I can't make it too clear, but I can tell you clearly that the Dodo Kingdom will never care about the life and death of those vendors! Sasan Empire won't bother about these things soon. Let go, everyone! "

The eyes of the gang bosses flickered, and the scene fell silent.

"peng!"

The wine glass fell heavily on the bar, an old dwarf Shouted from behind the bar: "Get out of here! I still want to do business. "

The old dwarf is the Whispering Hotel Boss. He has a bad attitude towards the boss of Brotherhood, but no one dared to express dissatisfaction. Red beard glanced at the old dwarf, then turned his head and said: "Everyone, go back and tell Brothers clearly. If you don't do this, you have to do it! It's gone, it's gone, it's all gone. "

Everyone got up to say goodbye, and did not forget to greet the old dwarf before they left. After everyone left the hotel, Red Beard said to the old dwarf: "Boss Hook, thanks to you this time. Otherwise the bloody brotherhood would be over. "

"I have retired, and now you are the boss of Brotherhood of Blood Hand. "Old dwarf Hook took out a cup, poured the wine, handed it to Red Beard, and asked: "Raymond Young Master accepts your suggestion?" "

"There is no explicit statement. "Red beard raised the glass, drank it, exhaled a strong and spicy drink, and said proudly: "It can be seen that Raymond Young Master appreciates me very much... Lower-class people, of course, have to be dealt with by lower-class people, nobles. Masters, you can think of a small role like a vendor. "

The old dwarf thought for a while and said, "Red beard, let the people below do the desperate thing, try to pick yourself up, so that you have the chance to be the boss of the tavern. "

"haha, boss Hook, I will be a lord! "Red beard laughed a few times, and said resolutely: "I must remember the words of the boss." "

" Just remember. From now on, the blood hand brotherhood matter has nothing to do with me. You don't have to come again. "The old dwarf lightly said.

"Boss Hook, this is my wine money. "Red beard showed a satisfied smile on his face, dropped a heavy money bag, and left the hotel swaggeringly.

The door was heavily closed, and the hotel returned to its former desertedness. A thin youngster from Walking downstairs, he said with contempt: "What an idiot! "

"Mouse, you don't have to be jealous of mortals. "The old dwarf shook his purse, and dozens of purple gold coin ding ding dong dong landed on the bar. The youngster rolled his throat and couldn't help swallowing. The old dwarf picked up a purple gold coin and threw it to the youngster. Asked: "Is the room ready? "

The youngster caught the purple gold coin and said with a beaming smile. "Yes, teacher." "

The old dwarf turned and climbed to the second floor, walked into a dark room, lay down on the wooden bed, closed his eyes, and meditated on incantion. A vague wave of waves pulled his consciousness far away. Where. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the blue sky.

"This body is not bad. "The old dwarf touched the strong muscles on his arms and said with satisfaction.

"I am the Speaker of the Shadow, who are you? "Not far away, a little boy asked, surrounded by a group of men, women and children.

The old dwarf stroked his chest and said, "Dear Speaker, I am the Shadow Councillor'Giant' . "
