Transcendent Noble

Nightingale Manor, the study room of the lord’s mansion, Victor sat behind his desk and read the sheepskin letterhead sent through various channels, all on which was information about the wizard attack in Shuitao Town.

Although he seems to be particularly focused now, the beautiful and alluring enchanting Wimbledon marquess knows that his husband has a multi-tasking ability. She sat opposite Victor, her slender palms resting her snow-white cheeks, and in an inviting tone, she said softly: "My dear, your bear group did a great job in the Nether Soul forest pioneering spot, but I helped a lot, Wimbledon The small mercenary group under the Chamber of Commerce was sent by me, and the bear group has its current scale."

Victor gave a faint "um" and continued to look through the sheepskin letterhead in his hand.

Sophia gritted her silver teeth secretly and said with a smile: "Thousands of mercenaries in the bear group have been able to support themselves, and the bear group’s income has a considerable surplus. As far as I know, the water season last year In the past four months, Xiong Tuan made at least 1,600 goldsall by shoveling out various expenses. Um... Guess how I control Xiong Tuan’s income in these four months?"

" The resources that Xiong Tuan obtained in the Nether Soul Forest were all purchased by the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce team. I set a good shipping price for them. I am supporting your Xiong Tuan by cutting the profits of the Business Group... …Hey, are you listening at all?"

Sophia got angry, stretched out her arms, and tried to snatch the sheepskin letterhead from Victor's hand.

The palm turns naturally, avoiding the grasp of the high-end Dame. There seems to be an insurmountable barrier between Sophia’s jade hand and the sheepskin letterhead, but Victor was indeed disturbed by his wife, so he had to put the letterhead Buttoned on the desktop, raised her dark and deep eyes, and said to Sophia who was lightly annoyed and angry: "Dear Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Sophia muttered moist and sparkling She swept all the sheepskin letter paper on the table in front of her, gave Victor a triumphant and charming look, and after a moment's consideration, he said: "My dear, you formed the Golden Group at the beginning, and you chose a business with a small number of people, and gathered a lot of people. The savage cottage is a node for private cargo transportation. Now, we have reached a secret agreement with several border lords, including Bronze Halberd City of the Diocletian family, Stonetred City of the Dwemek family, and count of Dolly De Kaiser. Leader, the Frost City of the Branstedt family... The route of the Golden Group from the north to the east has basically been determined. I think your secret business and savage cottages can be gradually abandoned. What do you think?"

Regarding the development strategy of the Golden Group, the main difference between Victor and Sophia lies in the savage cottage he has conquered in the early stage. Victor hopes that the Golden Group can continue to maintain these remote and secret business routes. Sophia is opposed to this. She believes that these wild cottages are worthless to the development of the Golden Group and should be discarded. The output resources of the cottages are still lowered by the local lord. Purchase at a price, and then flow into the bazaar opened by the High Lord.

From the point of view of profit alone, Sophia's proposal is more in line with the actual needs of Golden Group. The remote business roads and the counterfeit strongholds that Victor has worked so hard through are now very tasteless. The main reason is that the freight volume is limited and the transportation cycle is too long. This is because after the mountain people returned to the Golden Group, their population has grown significantly. It is certainly not enough to obtain food by hunting and gathering. Victor's smuggling caravan must find a way to deliver more food for them.

According to this calculation, nearly a hundred smuggling caravans are already a little struggling to make ends meet, relying on the huge profits of coffee to support them.

However, Victor has controlled about 150,000 mountain people and built more than 30 secret training camps deep in the forest. Every year, the smuggling caravan selects teenagers and girls of the right age from the cottage, and brings them into the training camp to receive loyalty education and martial skill training. This not only reduces the population pressure on the cottage, but also cultivates a group of elite and loyal warriors for Victor.

The children in the training camp practice the secret method of source blood, take the strong potion invented by Tofoven Master, and send an average of 200 Level 1 source Blood Fighters and 50 Level 2 source Blood Fighters to the Randal Family every year. Some People even have the opportunity to become a Level 3 source Blood Fighter, that is, a spiritual warrior with tenacious innate talent.

Victor hopes that the Golden Group will continue to maintain a secret smuggling business way and provide supplies for the copycat bases and secret training camps, but he is impossible to be honest about the training camp's existence to Sophia. This armed force, including the Shanzhai stronghold, is in the hands of Victor, and all kingdoms are distributed. Once things are revealed, they will be surrounded by lords everywhere.

Sophia did not know, and of course could not agree to continue to maintain the business channel doomed to lose money. If she understands the reason, who should be this armed force?

Golden Group adopts a shareholding system and has multiple partners. Sophia has the largest proportion of capital and has the most complete business channels, and even monopolizes the Barbarian trade. Therefore, she controls the operating rights of the Golden Group. In contrast, Centaur Hills only has the right to pay dividends. Although Victor has actual influence on Sophia, he wants the Golden Group to pay for the army and monopolize this armed force. From any angle, it is impossible to justify.

The two parties have been unable to reach a consensus on this issue. Victor’s coffee business, public carriage transportation system, candied fruit chain stores in major cities, and black market terminals have been delayed in delivering to Sophia.

Sophia doesn’t want to drag on any longer. Today must resolve these issues with her husband. She said sincerely: "My dear, the strategy of separating the shareholding system and the management right is proposed by you. I have already asked Golden The franchise lords of the Group have made corresponding commitments to maintain the neutral operation of the Golden Group and will never deliberately favor Centaur Hills. Otherwise, they will terminate the cooperative relationship with the Golden Group, and our previous efforts will be wiped out."

"It is obviously inappropriate to continue to maintain those business methods that cost more than profits. Even if I force them, the lords will have doubts and dissatisfaction, which will expose your mountain strongholds and smuggling caravans."

"My dear, I know that you have invested in the business network you built, and your subordinates have established a close relationship with those cottages. However, you should know that the trade volume of cottage products with the little lord has become smaller. , Has attracted the attention of the Great Family..."

Victor knocked on the table, interrupted Sophia's narration, smiled and said, "You are alarmist... Couldn't the clever Mrs. Count think of those in remote areas? The little lord is also the beneficiary of the smuggling caravan. They have been helping us to cover up... What is the Great Family if you don’t buy some mountain products?"

"The tight house needs to be repaired from time to time, But over time, there will always be problems. The appetites of those little country lords are getting bigger and bigger, how much are you going to take to buy them?" Sophia went around behind the table and sat on her husband’s lap, hugging his neck, intimacy Said: "We don't have to deal with the little lords. The lord they serve will solve all the troubles, so that the operating cost is the lowest and the profit is the greatest. I will provide a plan, do you think it will work?"

"Golden The Group paid a dividend for the first time at the end of this year. Although the amount is small, I am willing to pay you a sum of money from the dividend that belongs to the Marquis of Wimbledon to settle your smuggling caravan and some of the mountain people. In the future, This money is available every year, increasing or decreasing according to a fixed proportion. I only have one request to separate unnecessary smuggling trade routes and copycats from the Golden Group."

Sophia is determined to abolish it."

Victor did not comment on the redundant personnel and additional expenses of the Golden Group. He only said: "You are not going to manage the counterfeit strongholds and some smuggling business roads? I will continue to pay for it, but you just ask?"

"Whatever you do, it has nothing to do with Golden Group anyway." Sophia pecked Victor's lips and said with a smile: "However, I will pay you my own money, and your coffee business and candied fruit business will be handed over to Golden Group. .If you Reluctant to give up the private goods channel created by you, Golden Group can receive your Shanhuo business, but it is limited to Shanhuo...other products can only go through Golden Group's channels. "

" Give me a good price? "Victor rubbed his wife's little hand and said jokingly.

"Wishful thinking! "Sophia snorted, with a smile drawn at the corner of his mouth, said: "Peeling must be peeled off. The purchase price of mountain products is what I say. "

Victor shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, the price of mountain products is what you said. Anyway, they are picked up from the forest... How much extra bonus do you give me every year?" "

Sophia stretched out a white and clean finger, shook it in front of Victor's nose, and said, "10%...10% of the dividends of the Marquis of Wimbledon. "

"...too little. "

"A lot..." Sophia leaned into Victor's ear, spitting balsam, and said in a flattering voice, "Isn't my money inherited by our child?" Do you have the heart to steal money from your child? "

The beautiful Mrs. Count is acting like a baby, and it does something to Victor's. After all, the Golden Group is only part of his overall layout. There are more important things worthy of his attention.

The attack on the wizard in Shuitao Town has been passed to Victor's ears. Although the church tried hard to cover up the truth of the matter, a wizard who had been caught from unknown sources was purified in Sect Protecting Hall Square, and the attack was held in his mind. On the head. Victor used various channels to master some details, and then pieced together to restore the course of the matter.

Two of them were particularly noticed by Victor.

The attacker was at the time. Killing dozens of priests is not to say how powerful the attacker’s witchcraft is. In fact, witchcraft’s flaws are severely solidified, and the attack method is relatively single. Even if the puppet of the attacker cannot be killed, as long as the priest is present Fleeing, delaying time, waiting for the energy of the wizard to run out, there will be no death or injury so many people.

Paladin and red-clothed bishop's response is very bad. They choose to resist puppet witchcraft instead of Avoid its edge. This is because the wizard attacked the church, and the priest must hold on to it. Until the final line of defense collapsed, the survivors did not escape.

The time and place of the wizard’s attack were very precise. Provided information?

Second, the information showed that the witchcraft puppets withstood the holy fire and the evil attack, which shows that the sorcerer has already dealt with it, not only understands the divine technique of the priest and Paladin, but also the method of cracking it. .

How does the wizard do this?

The devil is a good explanation. Victor believes that this matter is related to the devil, but it belongs to the non-material level and reflects reality. In the world, there must be an accomplice, or someone who uses the devil.

This is normal. The wizard that uses the devil’s babble to gain knowledge and power has always existed. Just like Imerson, he also heard it occasionally Talking and expanding his witchcraft innate talent to reach the level of Legendary. Those wizards who can't hear the babbling of the devil are called really innate talents. In the era of Chosen One, they might even be a wizard apprentice.

This matter, the church will definitely follow it up. The problem is that the mastermind behind the attacker does not seem to be afraid of the church's follow-up.

Where does their confidence come from? What is their purpose for doing this. ?

Elizabeth whereabo uts unknown is nothing more than two possibilities. She was killed, or captured by some force. If she is alive, the golden bloodline will be difficult to conceal, and when she is promoted to the golden rank, Knight of the Legendary rank will be aware, and the person who captured her will be exposed. If Elizabeth dies, the church will inevitably launch big prophecy to find out the truth of the matter.

The mastermind hiding in the dark is not even afraid of big prophecy?

Yes, they are really not afraid, or they have the means to fight against big prophecy. Then this will be a very clear signal, and it will be sent to the Barcelius family.

The inquisition has cleaned out the rebels in the shadow priest, but someone is telling the Barcelius family that we are still alive, we have the power to fight the big prophecy, and we can still cooperate!

Contacting this unfathomable mystery orc war, Victor somewhat believes that the shadow priest can fight the big prophecy, to be precise, use it. Because the appearance of the Great Khan Centaur is extraordinary, it is reasonable that the Sidon Centaur race will not have two Legendary Great Centaur in such a short period of time. The aftermath of the big prophecy can do this, but whether there is human interference remains to be confirmed.

In any case, Victor has already suspected that the Barcelius family will have similar ideas.

According to Oroxia, Pope Lineage once raised the wizard, and Pantheon more than a thousand years ago is closely related to the shadow priest now. The difference is that Pantheon was controlled by the pope and finally got out of control; the shadow priest was made by the referee, and they fought fiercely with the oldest Holy Mountain monastery. And Holy Mountain monastery is very likely to master part of the inheritance of Chosen One wizard.

There is a certain probability that a wizard scholar supported by the church can study and improve the grand prophecy for the pope and the pope.

Apart from this, Father Miller is very suspicious, and Victor is sure that this Old Guy has intervened in secret. When it comes to prophecy and the devil, it's strange that he doesn't interfere.

However, Victor believes that Miller has no real connection with the Shadow priest. It is too simple for him to help the Shadow priest get rid of the enslavement of the court. If necessary, he will do that.

Lord of Radiance's favored person is too high, the shadow priest himself has the greatest probability, and the third object of suspicion, Victor is placed on the pope. As for Pope Clement, he might not be able to do that. Church does not want to see the Sasan Empire split, and naturally will not take Elizabeth away.

The Pope and Nahtigal have a deep background. Even if the Pope Lineage is now in captivity, Nahtigal knows the secrets of the church wizard very well. Moreover, Nahtigal’s profound mystery, Victor was a little bit unable to grasp their thoughts.

In short, we must try to test Nahtigal... Victor shook the head, turned his attention to Sophia, and said in deep thought: "Elisabeth Princess is missing, Sasan Empire must be in trouble, O'Rourke Sia sent a message to me and she decided to go all out to try to restore Iron Mountain. I understand the plight of the Barcelius family, but I am not optimistic about them... If Lord Iron Mountain and Lord Sasan can guarantee a stable supply of food to the Kingdom of Gambis No matter how they fight, it has nothing to do with me. This is obviously impossible. In the face of political interests, any promise is unreliable. Food supply will inevitably be used as a political bargaining chip for both sides... I hope you can design two sets of food from the perspective of trade. The purchase agreement, one for the Barcelius family and one for the Frederick Lie Family... I will compare it and see the reactions of both parties before deciding whom to bet on."

"I will draft a plan as soon as possible. ……."

As she was talking, Natalia hurriedly broke into the study and said to the adults and Mrs. Count who were hugging each other: "I just received an informal message, Howard .Testil and the chief inquisition rushed to the Sasan imperial capital, intending to propose to Her Royal Highness Oroxia!"

"What? Who are you talking about?" Victor stood as if he hadn't heard clearly. He got up and asked dumbfoundedly.

Natalia, who has obviously become younger and more beautiful, took a deep breath and said excitedly: "It is the head of the Radiance Knight regiment who is going to step down from her post in the church and give up the divine technique power of Paladin. , With Frederick’s surname, ascended to the throne of Sasan Empire, and proposed to the Duchess Aurochia Barcelius to marry him, the Queen of the Empire!"

"This...this also..." Sophia was at a loss and didn't know what to say, and finally commented: "This is too cruel!"

Natalia's face flushed with excitement, she asked curiously: "Oh Will Roxia agree?"

"Haha, how can you agree? My cousin doesn't even want to be decent, the Barcelius family can only admit defeat." Victor laughed and nodded: "This way Fortunately, Blood Wolf Fort continues to hold the Sasan Empire’s imperial power, and our food purchase agreement is guaranteed..."

Sophia unfathomable mystery glanced at Victor, faintly sighed: "How do you know Oro Will Xia refuse? What if she agrees to her marriage proposal and asks Howard to be the prince of the Iron Mountain Empire? Will Oroxia be afraid of him?"

"This... …Ha, it turned out that Tester would not agree. He was going to go into battle in person and form a showdown with the lords of both sides, forcing everyone to stand in line." Victor laughed self-deprecatingly, shook the head, his mouth was slightly cocked, and his eyes said brightly. "In that case, send out our'present', and then invite the Chief Referee Trigoval for me to come to Nightingale Manor for a private dinner."

"I have many questions to talk to him..."
