Bright Era

In the Pearl Shadow Club, a luxuriously furnished living room, a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak, a black cylinder hat and holding a black wooden staff sat quietly on the sofa. His clothes are very clean and concise. Although the materials are extremely high-quality goods, the style of the clothes is so low-key and conservative, just like his appearance and temperament.

Although his appearance is not surprising, the middle-aged man's eyes are very clear and bright, like two stars, and even gives a very clear and cold feeling. He sat there quietly, and the meeting room naturally became quiet. Even the two maids standing in the corner of the room did not dare to make any noise.

Lin Qi looked at the middle-aged man carefully for a while through a small hole specially used for peeping behind a huge oil painting, and could not help but nodded. This middle-aged man's personal strength is not very good, the magical power fluctuates at a mere high-level, and the magic fluctuates impetuously, giving people a feeling that it may break at any time. Obviously, this magical cultivation base is forcibly accumulated with medicine. from.

But his eyes are very bright, which means that he is energetic and must be outstanding in IQ.

After thinking carefully for a while, he released a huge amount of spiritual power to cover the entire small building, and thoroughly searched the surrounding movement. Lin Qi changed the face of Earl Longshan and walked out of the secret room that was peeping slowly, from the side door. Walked into the living room.

Arda and Bilibili turned into two ordinary guards and followed behind Lin Qi, and then Arda waved to the two maids to leave the living room. As they passed by, Alda swiftly placed one hand on a certain maid’s He grabbed a handful on her chest, and dropped a few gold coins in her bra.

The middle-aged man saw Alda's every move clearly, and he couldn't help but glance at Lin Qi in amazement.

In his opinion, it is impossible for a close guard around a powerful nobleman to perform such abrupt behavior. But since Arda did so, and Lin Qi, the "Earl Turing", did not show any performance. Either this guard had something special and enjoyed very special treatment, or he was the "Earl Turing". 'Absolute confidant.

Slowly standing up, the middle-aged man took off his hat and bowed deeply to Lin Qi: "Your Excellency Turing!"

Lin Qi looked at each other majesticly, and gently lifted his left hand with the big gemstone ring, and said calmly, "No need to be polite! Excuse me..."

The middle-aged man straightened his waist and said to Lin Qi neither humble nor arrogant: "You can call me Goring, Goring Tartal Greenland! On behalf of my loyal master, I extend my sincerest greetings to you."

Lin Qi sat opposite Goring. He raised his legs and looked at each other, and said solemnly: "Please sit down... Tartal Greenland, this surname has a very peculiar charm. If I'm not mistaken," , Tartar should be a place name in Wudalian Island, and Greenland, this surname should belong to, um, please forgive me for not being a good guess!"

Goering smiled and shook his head. He sat back on the sofa, put the cylinder cap on his knees, and placed the black wooden staff meticulously beside him. He smiled and said, "Your erudition surprised me. Indeed, I have one sixteenth of the fox blood in my body."

With a fox blood, Lin Qi gave Goring a surprised look. No wonder his eyes were so bright, so bright. In his bloodline, he has the blood of the wisest race among the orcs.

Slowly nodded, Lin Qi said solemnly: "Can I know the name of your loyal master?"

Goering said cleanly: "His Royal Highness Latus! The grandson of His Majesty Saint Louis XIII. I bring his greetings and his kindness. His Royal Highness Latus hopes to get your help and is willing to give you The most sincere return."

Arda came over with two wine bottles. He quickly opened the cork and poured a glass of wine for Lin Qi and Goring. Then he naturally took another bottle of wine and walked to Bilibili. The two demons sat aside, and you drank one bite at a time.

Goring once again looked at these two guys in surprise. When his loyal master met the guests, he was so unscrupulous as the family's guard. This was the first time Goring saw such a thing. Don’t the nobles obey the etiquette the most? The rigid aristocratic etiquette is annoying, but all the aristocrats are observing those ancient rules. Such a lawless guard is really tai chi.

Taking a sip from the wine glass, Lin Qi smiled and shook his head: "Please forgive them for their randomness. They are all old brothers who have followed me for many years. We were born and died together. Therefore, please understand that they are in my They have privileges around them. Unlike other guards, they have privileges."

Suddenly nodded, Goring smiled understandingly. The information bought from the intelligence dealers also pointed out that before Earl Longshan inherited the name of the family, he seemed to have been in some special business for a long time, so he was very lustful, and many of his actions were like that. The weirdness is incompatible with the traditional aristocracy.

Seeing Alda and Bilibili's affiliation today, Goring roughly knew what the so-called special business was. If it is not a bandit, then it is a pirate. Apart from this kind of trade, where can such a group of unruly and crude goods be raised?

"His Royal Highness Latus, you need your assistance!" Goring said solemnly: "I have come with the utmost sincerity, so I am not willing to deceive you with lies, let alone delay your precious time. If the Longshan family supports His Royal Highness Latus organized a resistance army to overthrow the rule of Holy Light I. You will be knighted by the Prince of the Gaul Empire, and your domain will become a dominion!"

Lin Qi's eyes blinked, the prince with the dominion?

If ordinary people hear this news, they will go crazy with excitement. Because with the dominion, a prince is likely to become the founding king in a hundred years! Do you want to be a prince who only promises, or do you want to be a king with great power? Ordinary people don't have the slightest hesitation at all, can they give up their lives for this rich condition?

But for Lin Qi, this condition is really not attractive enough!

Shaking his head gently, Lin Qi said solemnly: "In the Vias Federation, the Longshan family can obtain similar conditions. Frankly speaking, the dominion? This is not very attractive to me! As long as I am willing to pay gold coins , The aristocrats of the Vias Commercial Federation can sell everything!"

Goring pursed his mouth, he said solemnly: "This is the greatest return that His Highness Latus can provide. You have to understand that even the emperor of the empire cannot give you high returns. Dominion, a hundred years from now. Become a new kingdom, and you will be the founding monarch of a kingdom!"

Lin Qi frowned, and he shook his head gently.

Own a kingdom? The risk is too big, the goal is too big, and too eye-catching!

Even though the Duke of Green Forest and the Earl of Longshan are also very eye-catching, they are just two powerful nobles of the Vias Commercial Federation. Their combined military strength is not enough to affect the situation on the mainland, even if they and The Caesar Empire was tossed and turned upside down, and it would not attract the attention of all countries.

But once a country is established, it will really be hell. Isn't that the initiative to jump out and let people study everything up and down inside and out?

With the strength of the Jinbei family and the Silver Iris family, don't they have the power to build a country? It's not that it can't, it's that it's unwilling. It is the most sensible way to be a hidden family with strong influence and enjoy the treatment of the emperor without having to bear the risks and responsibilities of the emperor.

"I'm sorry, to me, the title of dominion or prince doesn't make much sense."

Lin Qi frowned and tapped his finger lightly. Before Goring could speak, Lin Qi said coldly: "But I am not completely rejecting His Highness Latus' request. I just want something else to do. Return!"

After sipping the wine in the glass, Lin Qi said solemnly: "Go back and say to His Royal Highness Latus, saying that if I help him ascend to the throne, then he needs to give me a special permit— -Permit me to monopolize the operation of food, medicine, ordnance in certain areas of the Gaul Empire. The size of these areas monopolized by me depends on how much assistance His Royal Highness Latus needs from me!"

Putting up a finger lightly, Lin Qi said relaxedly: "For example, now I have given His Highness Latus assistance worth 100 million gold coins, then in the future I will get a provincial monopoly in the Gaul Empire. Right. Two hundred million gold coins is the monopoly power of the two provinces, and so on for the rest! How many provinces are there in the Gaul Empire? Are the 27 provinces? The highest amount of assistance I can provide, It's 2.7 billion gold coins!"

2.7 billion gold coins?

Goering's body shook, he was so wise, he still felt golden light in front of him!

This is enough to form a strong enough army to pull the Holy Light I from the throne, right? After all, Holy Light I did not fully grasp the situation of the entire Gaul Empire now, and there were still many nobles who were dissatisfied with him lurking.

2.7 billion gold coins are enough to do many things.

But what "Earl Turing" asks for is the monopoly right to operate food, medicinal materials and ordnance, etc.! These things are the lifeblood of the country, how can one person be in control at will?

Lin Qi squinted at Goering, he said lightly: "This is an investment, and it is extremely risky. Since I dare to invest a lot of money, I must see a sufficiently plentiful return! If it weren't, why would I be for no reason? Spend money?"

With a wicked smile, Lin Qi waved his hand: "Go and ask His Royal Highness Latus!"

"I think he will not refuse my kindness. And the specific terms, we can'slowly' talk about it!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start (qidian.com) ) Vote for recommended votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
