All the contract girls want to marry me

Although the Clare Empire was large, it could only accommodate one emperor.

If Matthew participates in the election, although he is not guaranteed to win against his father, the threat will definitely be much greater than that of the Hoffenhager family.

Although Matthew had an agreement with his family that he would never run for emperor of the Clare Empire during the lifetime of the Windsor Emperor, the agreement was only valid until it was broken.

If Matthew turned his back and refused to admit his guilt, could they still kill Matthew?

Thinking of this, Wendy's face became even more ugly.

Although Andre was annoying, he never lied, so Matthew did make a promise to his subordinates to fight for the throne before setting off.

Being an official under a duke or king, the room for advancement is ultimately limited.Only when you work under the emperor can you achieve the level of a supreme minister.

Obviously, before reaching an agreement with the Himilon family, Matthew already had ambitions to become an emperor.

Wendy was in a bad mood.

You clearly want to be the emperor, but you make a promise to him that you can't fulfill. Isn't this deception?

Andre, this pretty and shameless pretty boy, has been around Matthew for some time and has won Matthew's trust. He is obviously a person sent by the Dawson family, but he can charm Matthew into his head. It's really disgusting!

Thinking of this, Wendy looked at Matthew with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

He said nothing more, but it was clear that he needed an explanation from Matthew.

Andre and Wendy stared at Matthew with their beautiful eyes at the same time, which made Matthew alert and sobered up a bit.

These two noble gentlemen are both of great strength, of extraordinary origin, and have beautiful looks that make girls jealous.

In some ways, they are quite similar.

Of course, Matthew would not refute Andre's words, nor would he blame him for leaking secrets.

In fact, this is no secret.If Matthew didn't want to be emperor, he wouldn't be so active in joining the war.

People can tell lies, but not what they do.

If Matthew said that he did not want to be emperor without conscience, it would only make people look down upon him.

He put down his wine glass and said solemnly:

"Andre is right. These people follow me not just to be the king's subjects, they want a higher position of power. And I also want to have an extra crown on the Lundbell family's emblem. crown."

Wendy's expression was complicated, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and his expression changed from disappointment to relief.

Matthew was right. At this point, he could no longer decide whether to be emperor or not.

The merit of supporting the establishment is the greatest achievement.

None of the civil servants and generals under his command could refuse this temptation.

It is said that there was once an emperor in human history who was woken up by his ministers in his sleep and put the crown on his head before he could react.

The Kingdom of Perth was almost a kingdom that Matthew single-handedly won, and there was no doubt that he became the king here.

When Matthew returns to the empire with a crown, it makes sense that he would want to compete for the throne of emperor.

Seeing the sudden change in Wendy's expression, Matthew naturally knew what he was thinking.

He put on a serious face and said very seriously: "Wendy, although you have not been with me for a long time, when did you stop talking to me when you see me?"

Wendy was stunned by Matthew's words.

Matthew not only promised that his subjects would compete for the throne, but also promised that the Himilun family would not compete for the throne. These two things are completely contradictory, so there must be some broken promises.

Thinking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said softly: "I don't understand."

"The agreement I made with you is still valid. This is my promise to you and it will not change."

Matthew's words were an understatement, but it was like thunder to Andre's ears.

The family spent so much resources to support not just a kingdom, but an empire!

If Matthew gave up becoming emperor for the ridiculous so-called promise, the family's investment would be greatly reduced.

Although he has never been too concerned about family affairs, Andre is a member of the Dawson family after all.If the Dawson family does not do well, he will also be affected.

Moreover, his father has always been very kind to him, and he does not want his father's interests to be harmed.

He took a swig of wine angrily, his voice even trembling.

"Matthew! If you agree to Wendy's conditions, are you going to break the agreement with our Dawson family?"

Seeing Andre's eyes turn red, Matthew sighed softly and said calmly: "Andre, we have known each other for a long time. How could you misunderstand me so much?"

"Misunderstanding? But you said you won't compete with the Himilun family for the throne. Is it a lie?"

"Of course not. I said no fighting means no fighting."

"You!" Andre originally thought Matthew would give an explanation, but he didn't expect him to admit it shamelessly.

It really is a new generation replacing the old one.

He has followed Matthew for so long, and how many times he has been through life and death, but he is actually not as good as this pretty-faced prince?

Andre's mentality exploded instantly. He stood up suddenly and prepared to leave.

Matthew didn't expect him to be so impulsive, so he quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve to prevent him from leaving.

"Let go! I'm not your wife, what does tugging look like!"

The angry words blurted out, and Andre suddenly felt that the words seemed to be a little linguist, and his face turned red. In order to cover up his gaffe, he put his hand on the hilt of the dagger and shouted in a deep voice:

"If you don't let me go, I will draw my sword."

"If you're willing to do it, then chop it off."

Matthew simply acted rogue.

"If you don't believe me, there's no point keeping these hands. Just kill them."

"Shameless!" Of course Andre couldn't cut it.

Looking at Matthew's calm expression, he always felt that something was wrong. Under Matthew's tugging, he sat back in his seat angrily.

Facing Wendy's gentle and somewhat proud expression, Andre bit his lip to stop his anger.

Getting angry at Wendy at this time will only make you look more embarrassed.

He would like to hear what other magical insights Matthew has to say.

Seeing that the two noble gentlemen had fallen into misunderstandings, Matthew smiled and shook his head, reminding:

"Did you make a mistake? I won't be the emperor of the Clare Empire, but I didn't say I won't be the emperor."

"With the Kingdom of Perth as the center, if we can double the territory, it should be enough to establish a new empire."

The territory of the Kingdom of Perth is not small, and it is basically high-quality land. There is no desert, Gobi, or large areas of unusable dense forests and swamps.

If we look at the cultivated land area alone, the Kingdom of Perth has almost 60% of the empire.

Not only is the Kingdom of Perth completely self-sufficient in food, it can even be exported in large quantities, in exchange for precious resources for the country.

Although the Kingdom of Perth is just a kingdom, it does have the makings of an empire.

As long as the territory is doubled, the empire's basic base will be there.

Both Wendy and Andre were stunned. They had indeed fallen into a blind spot.

Matthew was a vassal and elector of the Clare Empire, and he wanted to be emperor, so they naturally thought that Matthew wanted to be the emperor of the Clare Empire.

Who would have thought that Matthew would want to start his own business.

Wendy and Andre breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and there was less hostility in their gazes.

For the Himilen family and the Dawson family, this result is not perfect, but at least it exceeds the bottom line.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, the three people no longer talked about state affairs, but began to recall the various things that happened in this war.

Just when they were getting a little drunk, various commotions gradually occurred in the city.

"Look, what is that?"

"Father, look! Which group does that huge blue bird belong to?"

"What a blue bird, please be respectful, it's obviously a mythical beast!"

......

Listening to the original discussion in the distance, Matthew knew that Xiangrui was coming.

Blue bird?That's the Ice Phoenix!

There was a smile on Matthew's lips. He wanted to see how powerful the ice phoenix was.

Chapter 179 The Phoenix Appears

No matter how many years have passed, people who witnessed the birth of the Phoenix will never forget what happened that night.

Old John, who was drinking in the bar, was squeezed out of the bar amidst the commotion and followed the crowd towards the north of the city.

The soldiers worked hard to maintain order, and there were constant shouts and curses.

Although the soldiers were a little confused about what was happening here, the fact that so many people wanted to go out still made them panic.

The soldiers enforcing the curfew tonight are all troops directly under the Lundebel Territory. They have strict military discipline, but they did not take any drastic action just because the citizens were excited.

After asking the superior officers for instructions, they opened all the city gates so that anyone who wanted to go out and watch the excitement could go out.

Tonight, there is no curfew in Mantou City.

If it were not for the discipline, some soldiers would also want to join the carnival crowd.

They also saw the blue light emerging from the north of the city.

With a light of this magnitude, it was obvious that something big was about to happen.

It's human nature to join in the fun, and they are no exception.

People who came to the north of the city gradually discovered that the birthplace of blue light was an isolated peak in the north of the city.

This high mountain called Divine Bird Peak is very famous. It is said that a bird-shaped mythical beast appeared here tens of thousands of years ago.

Although this is just a legend, the name of Divine Bird Peak has survived.

The blue light soaring into the sky appeared on Shendiao Peak, which made people wonder a little bit.

People with more active minds are already wondering whether the two events are related.

The foot of Shenniao Peak was crowded with onlookers, but no one dared to climb the mountain.

For ordinary people, this mountain with a height difference of nearly 1000 meters from the ground and surrounded by cliffs is a bit difficult.

For experts above level seven, climbing may not be difficult, but who knows what is on the mountain?

Strong people cherish their lives. They may like to take risks, but they never like to go up and give away things for nothing.

No one wants to climb a huge, lonely mountain full of unknown risks until they know what's going on on the mountain.

If there is a fool who is willing to be the first to die, they won't mind.

Matthew, Wendy, and Andre also mixed in with the crowd and came to the foot of the mountain.

Of course Matthew knew what was about to happen on the mountain, but Wendy and Andre didn't.

The basic principle of secrecy is that the fewer people who know the secret, the better.

Except for the planner Matthew, only Han Xing, Shirley and Xiao Fenghuang knew the details of this [Phoenix Arrival] plan.

Although Andre knew that Matthew was planning something related to auspiciousness, he didn't know that Matthew had successfully summoned the Ice Phoenix from another dimension.

He also pulled Matthew with interest, guessing what the blue light meant.

"The artifact must be a super artifact with ice attributes!" Andre said with great certainty.

"That's not necessarily true. I've read relevant books in the Royal Library. Some mythical beasts make quite a lot of noise when they wake up, and can even trigger supernatural phenomena."

Wendy said disapprovingly.

Although there was no real reason, butting cattle with Andre seemed to be one of his great pleasures.

Andre rolled his eyes at him, mocking this pretty boy from the royal family in his heart, but when his words came to his lips, he turned into a sly one.

"Really? Supernatural visions are not fixed. If it weren't for the short interval between the last miracles, I would have said it was a miracle."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Matthew quickly stopped it.
