"This is Earl of Kalikas, from Mecca, west of the Empire. He is responsible for providing most of the weapons of the Imperial Army."
"This is Earl of Chismairs, my former partner, but now he doesn't sell clothing and switches to building materials and stone business!"
"Mr. Dadanyabanov, he is almost named Earl by His Majesty! The wine tycoon in our glass is produced by his winery! If there is a problem or a taste of the wine we drink today, you must settle the score with him!"
Holding my hand, Duke Simea smiled and introduced these strange guests to me one by one. These strangers are all around forty years old. I have never seen strange faces before, but their names are definitely not strangers. These people are all rich people in the empire who are as famous as Duke Simea! Kalikas is called the "Weapon King", Miles is the "Building Materials King", and Banov is the "Wine King". When the noble children of the Fabir family introduced themselves, they often spoke... Which generation of great-grandson of Rez, I am the number one in the genealogy, and how many brilliant things my ancestors have done... There are so many verbal words.
But when Duke Simea introduced them, he was not so verbose. His name and business were used, and his origin was clearly explained in just a few seconds.
I understood as soon as I heard this, these people were all the emerging rich people in the empire. Since the former imperial emperor issued a decree that titles could be bought with money, the rich people who had too much money to buy the title of the count, and they had lived up to the aristocratic addiction. Of course, the titles bought were just a false name. Compared with hereditary titles like me, they could not enjoy real power.
Facing the rich man who toasted me frequently, I felt a little dizzy
Although they are not as famous as the Dragon Warrior, these people can stomp their feet to reduce the money in their pockets by half of the money they spend on the market tomorrow by going to the market to buy vegetables tomorrow
Usually, I just heard the name of these people but didn't see them. I didn't expect that now they were all standing in front of me, smiling and holding up their wine at me.
The Duke of Simea was obviously in a very good mood. At the end of the introduction, he got a little lost. The fifth stranger was a short and fat pumpkin. He smiled and put his waist on his waist, patted his bulging belly and said to me: "Earl Xinghali! Look at him, he looks like a pumpkin, but in fact he started his business by growing pumpkins! People call him the pumpkin king! But now he not only grows pumpkins, grain, wood, fruits, and as long as it is a profitable business, he does it all! He is so greedy! That's why he eats his waist as big as a pumpkin!"
Duke Simea's humorous words made several people laugh together. Obviously, he had a very good relationship with these people. The big pumpkin, which he had damaged, also burst into laughter.
The first person toasted me was Mr. Miles. He was short and had a hooked nose. His left eye was very inflexible and lacked in anger when it turned. I looked carefully and found that his left eye was fake.
"Marquis of Sauneda, this time you flooded Garris, but it caused us heavy losses!"
The old thing is mentioned again, and it is another embarrassing thing. Fortunately, my skin is already very thick-skinned. I smiled and was about to speak, but the tall and thin wine king next to me came out to make things happen for me.
"Miles, it makes sense for them to cry. You, the most profiteer who sells stones and wood, hopes most is that earthquakes occur every day and all the houses collapse! This time, as you wish, everything has washed away. Did Garys have no stones when he rebuilt it? I think you are laughing in your dreams!"
"That's right, you are the one who laughs the happiestly here! The most proud person dares to cry here and be punished for drinking!"
Fat pumpkin-like joy
Count Harry also took the opportunity to make a fuss and pinched his nose to drink.
The three of them started to make trouble unscrupulously, poured wine to each other, ignoring the contemptuous gazes of the other nobles next to them.
I didn't pay much attention to these three nouveau riche who couldn't get on the table. However, the tongues of the wine industry tycoon and the empire who had been silent next to me made me particularly careful.
The three of them were fighting aside, Murdos
Mr. Boman was the deepest one. He held a wine glass in one hand, and his eyes looked at me quietly through the red wine that was about to see the bottom.
He was medium-sized, with a little white hair mixed with hazel eyes, blue and white skin, and not very outstanding. However, when he looked at me through the wine glass, he added some kind of spirit to his originally unremarkable appearance.
As for the wine industry tycoon, he seemed to be more interested in the wine in the glass than me. His right hand holding the wine swayed slightly, allowing the orange-red wine to keep spinning in the transparent glass.
Occasionally, pick up the cup, put it on the tip of your nose and smell the wine, and then take a sip.
Seeing my eyes resting on him, Murdos
Then Mr. Boman smiled at me stingyly and gave me a glass of wine
"When flooding Garris, I lost a newspaper! However, flooding Garris has tripled my newspaper sales. In summary, I still want to thank you!"
"I don't want to say anything else, I can only say, thank you! Thank you very much!"
I touched the glass with him and drank the wine in the glass together
I did not tell the story of his entrusted help from Duke Simea in public. These rich men suddenly gathered together and asked me to come over. What is the reason? Before I figured out all this, the less I said, the better, the better
Earl Boman spoke, and Earl Cas, who had been shaking his wine glass, followed and looked at me with gratitude: "I have left nearly a hundred barrels of good wine in Garys's cellar, and a few of them have been stored for more than three hundred years. That is my lifeblood! When Garys escaped this time, the Marquis sent troops to help and transport them all out. I am very grateful to you!"
I felt ashamed in my heart. At that time, I sent troops to transport property for the rich and powerful people first, just to please these people and to create less enemies for myself in the future.
"I said Banov, after all, you've forgotten the buckets of wine in the mill! Don't keep silent all day long, just be sure to drink."
Duke Simea slapped Banov's shoulder with a palm and said with a smile: "If you really want to be grateful to Marquis of Souneda, then give the bottles of good wine you have hidden in your house to Marquis of Souneda!"
"Isn't that killing him?"
The fat Count Pumpkin next to him suddenly made everyone laugh again
They are not as serious as the Fabir family, and they laugh whenever they want. Facing these emerging nobles from businessmen, I feel a sense of indescribable ease in my heart.
Murdos Poman seemed to be the leader of these people. He toasted me with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "
Earl of Saunada, this time you flooded Garris, which really caused us great losses
But we are all sensible people, and we also know that you have no choice!
If the empire perishes, we will have nothing left!
We all know this in our hearts. To put it bluntly, we should also be grateful to you! So you don’t have to take this matter to heart!"
I was so moved that I almost shed tears. Over the past few months, I have suffered a lot for this matter and have been rolled enough. I didn't expect that the upstarts who I have always looked down upon for using money to buy titles can be so reasonable and speak for me. I suddenly felt like I met a confidant.
"Earl Sulnada, we have heard of your name! During the battle of expedition to Asania a year ago, you led your army around half of Asaminya and returned to the empire from the cracks in the sky. I began to pay attention to you at that time! This time you flooded Garis, and your courage and mind are unrivaled..."
Earl Cass didn't say anything before, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I found that he had a sweet mouth. He knew that he was trying to praise me, but he was still fluttering with praise.
"When flooding Garris, we have suffered a lot of losses! But if the empire is over, we will not be left with half a penny! What's ridiculous is that some people can't even tell the truth. In this matter, you can't get involved with the Marquis. If you are still Marquis, you are commanding the army, I'm afraid that half of the Warcraft Alliance will not leave the empire alive."
"If everyone is as sensible as you, I will not have fallen to this point."
It is rare to be praised by others. I immediately felt a big favor for these people. At the same time, I also had an indescribable resentment towards Ruyue and his daughter. I worked hard for you, but you treated me too much!
With a good start, the following words will be a very pleasant conversation
I am used to being scolded. The first time I found that I was appreciated and valued, it turned out to be this beautiful thing
The conversation with the Duke of Simea did not end until the ritual officer shouted "Your Majesty is here"
I said goodbye and returned to my seat, but found that Brigitte was there long ago, drinking slowly with a glass of wine alone. There were seven or eight empty cups on the table.
At this moment, Emperor Ola and the Queen walked into the center of the hall with a smile, holding hands and stepping into the center of the hall.
From the perspective of intimacy, it is impossible to see that a very unpleasant thing had happened before.
Arriving at the center of the hall, Emperor Ola began to recite today's dance speech
"I'm back and having a happy chat"
Brigitte glanced at the Duke of Simea, then looked at the emperor, her tone was very strange, "There is a saying I don't know whether I should say it or not..."
"What are you saying, aunt, what else can you say to me?"
Aunt Brigitte's face suddenly became serious, and I felt that she didn't seem to be happy that I had a deep relationship with the rich.
"You'd better keep a distance from those people! Especially that Mr. Kalikas"
" Why"
"Those people are a bunch of wolves!"
Brigitte gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words from her teeth.
" Wolf"
I was shocked. I didn't take my aunt's words too seriously. The expression on my face also showed all the thoughts in my heart.
Brigitte glanced at me, and at this moment the maid handed over the wine plate. Brigitte took a pole of wine, raised her head and drank it all in one sip.
"This is my advice, and it is also what Lagus asks me to tell you! Stay away from them, otherwise you will be gnawed with the bones of the belt and the bones of them!"
I was a little shocked. I didn't expect that my aunt would object to me being with Duke Simea, nor did I expect that the indifferent Ragus would give me such advice
I only met these people today, but he seemed to have the ability to foresee what happened today and knew in advance
"Are they really wolves? In my opinion, they are just a group of nouveau riche who have money and are desperately trying to climb up."
"How much do you know about those people? I have known them for almost twenty years!"
"When I came back this time, I realized that Bordeaux was actually mixed up with the daughter of Duke Simea! This bad boy hides everything from me! It's really a headache!"
"What's wrong, aunt, are you against them being together? Kama is a little fierce, but she is a good girl. I can guarantee this."
"I know, I mean her father! Whether it is Duke of Simea, Kalikas, and that Boman, these three people are all characters that cannot be involved! Don't get involved in them anyway! Merchant, do whatever you want for your benefit, be careful not to be deceived by their sweet words."
I didn't ignore the aunt's words, but I still don't understand why Brigitte sees them like this
"Isn't they really that scary Duke of Naruyak..."
"The guy Ruyaki is just a clown, and when the drama ends and everything ends, it's the moment he leaves!"
At that moment, Brigitte's voice suddenly became cold and his face became gloomy.
"The aunt's eyes are so terrible!"
I suddenly realized that Aunt Brigitte, who has always been gentle, would have such a fearful side.
"It seems that you don't take my advice very seriously!"
My aunt still let me see it
The aunt turned her head and faced Emperor Ola, and smiled at him, but her voice became profound.
"When it rains, some pedestrians on the road carry umbrellas, and some don't. People who don't carry umbrellas always try their best to squeeze under other people's umbrellas. Sometimes, a few people have already squeezed under the umbrellas. The belated people can barely squeeze in, but they can only stand on the edge of the umbrella. Although most of his body is covered and protected by the umbrella, the rain dripped down the edge of the umbrella, which made his body exposed wetter, so it is sometimes not a very wise choice to squeeze into other people's umbrellas!"
At this moment, there was a burst of warm applause around. It turned out that the emperor's dance speech had mentioned Brigitte's name, and everyone's eyes suddenly came here.
"You should choose your own way! I can only talk about this. The most venomous snakes are often the least silly ones! Compared with those who are used to playing political games, you are too young! Stay away from them and listen to me, that's right!"
Slightly said, Bi Ji stood up and walked towards the center of the hall. The crowds in front of her separated and gathered again, and soon covered her in the crowd.
"What's wrong, Da Xiu, your face is very bad! What did the aunt tell you just now?"
Looking at the aunt's back, I was stunned for a while. Sheila came over, stood beside me, and held my hand
"I just said something to me, and the group of Duke Simea, who led me to the past, what was the purpose of Sheila? Your thinking is clearer than mine, so analyze it for me."
Actually, I have my own ideas about Aunt Brigitte’s advice.
"If you stand on the edge of the umbrella, you will be wet, so I will squeeze into the umbrella! Let my whole body be protected by the umbrella!"
The Queen's umbrella may not be reliable, and Duke Xijiangya and his group may not rely on it, but there are two umbrellas in the empire that can definitely shelter me from the wind and rain.
These two umbrellas are Ruyue, and the other one is her baby girl
"This is Earl of Chismairs, my former partner, but now he doesn't sell clothing and switches to building materials and stone business!"
"Mr. Dadanyabanov, he is almost named Earl by His Majesty! The wine tycoon in our glass is produced by his winery! If there is a problem or a taste of the wine we drink today, you must settle the score with him!"
