Don't call me evil god

The banquet halls in Monge's luxurious manor and the palace are completely different styles.

The latter more highlights the respect and status of the royal family, and all behaviors should comply with etiquette requirements;

The former...is more like an activity place where you can have fun.

In the huge banquet hall, the dignitaries held hands with their female or male companions and elegantly held clear glass goblets filled with expensive drinks of different colors.

Nobles and businessmen gathered here, talking loudly, talking about topics that most ordinary people would probably never be exposed to in their lifetime.

"Middleton, how are you doing lately? The shipping routes in the Northern Kingdom are frozen? Is your ship back?"

A thin middle-aged man with two thick dark circles on his face, wearing a slightly exaggerated light green dress. Two young, beautiful and wealthy female companions held his arms on both sides in a decent manner. , maintaining a professional smile.

The man called Middleton was a fat man with a big belly and some redness on his face and neck. When he heard someone calling him, he turned around. When he saw the other person, he laughed heartily and said, "Of course! God of Wealth bless you." ! This year I was pretty lucky. The fleet was safe and came back in the last few days before the route was frozen! ”

"My captains told me when they reported that on their way back, they saw several unlucky ships that had just left the dock and collided with icebergs floating on the North Sea! They immediately had to be towed back to the shipyard for repairs, and they would be thawed in the coming spring. Don’t even think about going back to Starosh before, just stay in that snow nest and spend the winter!”

"Then - get me a batch of the goods you brought from the north in advance! You know, as you get older, ahem, you are always a little unable to do what you want."

"Serving the king loyally, I may die on the battlefield one day. Although I don't want to die, but since there is no way to do this, I must live one day at a time and not waste every opportunity to enjoy it!"

Middleton immediately understood and laughed strangely: "I understand, I understand! You have to be moderate, Viscount Francisco! Which of them are you going to spend the night with tonight?"

Viscount Francisco, with thick dark circles under his eyes, raised his head very proudly:

"Who? Are you looking down on me too much?"

"I am the most masculine and charming man in Starosh. Of course I want all mature men!"

The two of them laughed strangely.

The female companion next to her also showed a coquettish smile in cooperation.

Similar scenes play out repeatedly in this magnificent banquet hall;

The nobles talked about their business, daily life, and other people's gossips. During the conversation, they finalized several large orders with profits of hundreds of gold coins.

certainly.

In this gathering organized by Monger, the protagonists of the event who attracted the most attention and talked about the most were Pet, Miranda and Lancelot.

To be precise.

Their focus was on King Cheridin's plan to establish an operational legion.

Because this matter is really related to their vital interests.

"What do you mean, do you think this can be done?"

"Humph! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

A nobleman with a ferocious face denied it nonchalantly: "I admit that His Majesty the King's idea is very good and naive, but does he have money?"

"The legion needs to be paid to recruit people, and money is needed to purchase weapons and equipment, not to mention the expenses caused by daily training and various battles."

"He can't afford it. He can't even pay for the military expenses of the King's Army. How can he expect to form a new army?"

"If we hadn't worked tirelessly to help His Majesty the King guard the border defense line, the eastern region would have definitely suffered next year! At least half of the people would have died."

"Everyone should remember what a mess the eastern region of this country was like before the Manorial Nobility Act came into being."

Some nobles who were originally from the east, or whose hometowns are relatively close to the east, but have now become "locals of the royal capital" expressed support.

"You're right, His Majesty the King wouldn't want to see that kind of scene!"

"If he wants to stop the monsters from outside the borders of the kingdom, he must rely on our power!"

"As long as everyone ignores His Majesty's thoughts, he will naturally give up."

"Kenridin thinks we can't see his true thoughts?"

"What a warning from the dragon, it sounds like that. If there really is a more dangerous monster, since the dragons have issued a warning, they will definitely come to help, right?"

"That's it! That's it!"

"There are so many mages in the Magic Hermitage. Aren't they interested in dragons? Let them guard the border defense line together. Isn't it much better than setting up some kind of action army?"

The nobles were all shouting.

Pater was mentioned three times.

To be more radical, just say it directly:

"Just those three little brats?"

"It's easy for young people to get excited by Ken Ruidin's words. How can it be so simple to organize and coordinate an army? Do they understand? They don't have that ability!"

Those who are more conservative and think more cautiously:

"What if they really agree to His Majesty's request?"

"That's not easy!"

The radicals showed disdainful smiles on their faces: "What is your Majesty's reason for appointing them?"

"Are they heroes? Are they powerful?"

"If you really count them, we killed so many monsters during the monster red tide. Rounding it off, we can also be considered heroes of the kingdom, right?"

"If people find out that these little guys are not that powerful, your majesty will definitely not dare to go against the public opinion and force the commission to them, right?"

The other nobles showed some thoughtful expressions on their faces.

When dealing with evil people, you should use the method of punishing bad people and bring them to justice;

When doing business, you should be good at using various business war methods, kill your peers, pursue them relentlessly, and kill them all;

There are also corresponding methods for dealing with heroes and saints.

If the conditions are right, they can even be completely ruined.

Someone turned around and asked the fierce-looking noble who denied it at the beginning:

"Marquis Madison, what does Lord Mung think? What does he think of the Action Corps...?"

Marquis Madison showed a confident smile on his face.

"Don't worry, everyone."

"As before, Lord Mung firmly supports everyone!"

"Regarding the matter of the Action Corps, Lord Mung will not donate even a single gold coin to the Kingdom's treasury. This is his attitude. Unless His Majesty completely abandons his stupid and naive ideas!"

"He specially held this banquet tonight just to test the ideas of those little guys!"

"No matter what different ideas they have, Lord Mung will make them face reality."

There are 5 more, tonight
