Lord of War

The Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance has special envoys stationed in all countries on the Miracle Continent.

These people represent the will of the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance. The biggest role of them stationed in different countries is not just to be responsible for the acquisition and sale of resources, but to be able to communicate with high-level or target people in various countries in the first place, so as to achieve some purposes-for example, in the previous When Sean ransacked the entire gray shadow black market, the special envoy of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Union to Ryan immediately entered the Ryan Palace to meet King Ryan, and asked for a strict interrogation of Sean, otherwise Ryan would be blocked Duchy trade moves.

It is precisely because of this incident that Ryan's nobles are very aware of how deteriorating the relationship between Sean and the Pangea Chamber of Commerce Alliance has been.

At that time, even the nobles of Ryan held a joint signature event, demanding that Sean be severely punished-of course, for the nobles, they were just jealous that Sean had an important gateway to the wild land. As for the losses caused by the Alliance of Chambers of Commerce blocking the trade routes of the Principality of Ryan, they don't care much about this, after all, this is a relative loss.

Because of this, when they saw that the special envoy of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance to Ryan, who represented the will of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, also appeared in Xiao En's mansion, almost all the nobles who set their sights on themselves held a kind of optimism. play mentality.

When the special envoy got off the carriage and hugged Xiao En affectionately as if seeing his parents and gave him a gift, all the nobles who were about to watch the show were completely dumbfounded.

At the same time, in the highest tower of the Lane Palace, which overlooks the surrounding area of ​​the entire Lane Palace, King Ingus Lane of Lane is witnessing the commotion on the Seventh Avenue of the Kingdom.

Of course he knew the mentality and thoughts of these nobles at the moment.

The division of the two noble factions inside and outside the Great Wall is an unavoidable trend, even if he is the king of this kingdom, he still cannot stop this trend. The only thing he can do is to guide and try to avoid the confrontation between these two factions. That's why he put Floris Hellman in Fort Tonis. As long as this person exists, the two sides with Fort Tonis as the boundary will not have too intense conflicts and conflicts.

But in this way, he is tantamount to allowing the free development of the two major noble factions - in the imaginable future. Once the nobles inside the Great Wall go to the territory of the nobles outside the Great Wall, or once the nobles outside the Great Wall enter the territory of the nobles inside the Great Wall, the contradictions that have been accumulated between the two sides will completely erupt. Although this outbreak is still in a controllable state, whether it will become the fuse of a civil war because of this is something that even the wise King Ryan cannot guarantee.

In particular, he also conferred the title of the last Duke to that Sean Connery.

"Floris,

Do you think it's right for me to do this? "

Although this old man was getting old, but his majesty was getting heavier, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows beside the tower and asked in a deep voice.

Stand behind this king. It was the middle-aged man exuding a strong dark aura, the one who was only loyal to the throne and not the royal family. The power he holds in his hands is a veritable king of darkness in the entire Kingdom of Ryan. Even the other two people who are qualified to sit alongside him in the underground power will not dare to trust him in the slightest. After all, Flo The meaning represented by Reese Hellman. It's not just as simple as the king of the dark world.

"Your Majesty, for the prosperity of the kingdom, some victims are always needed at times." Floris Hellman replied softly, "This is an era of natural selection, since Lord Sean has what we urgently need , then our choice of him is the biggest profit, that's all.... As for those who try to trouble him. As long as Mr. Xiao En doesn't speak, then we can continue to stay neutral."

"Do you think Xiao En can't speak?" Hearing what Floris said, Ingels smiled, "The conversation yesterday is enough to prove that this little guy is far more difficult than Asuna back then. entanglement... If this little guy is not born to be good at aristocratic management, then it can only mean that behind him is a staff think tank who is very familiar with the rules of the game among the aristocrats. If this is the case, this think tank alone is enough to be a duke gone."

The higher the title, the higher the status naturally, and the corresponding things that need to be dealt with and the people to communicate with are also different.

This is the field of vision determined by height.

The reason why veteran nobles can become veteran nobles is not just because they have enough years to accumulate heritage. Just running one is a valuable experience that has been explored through the joint efforts of multiple generations. And many emerging nobles don't understand this truth, so even if his meritorious service is enough to become a duke, in the end he will lose his duke due to many problems, and even ruin his own life and years of hard work and achievements.

Floris Heilman was slightly startled. After hearing the evaluation of King Ingels, he thought about it carefully and realized that in the secret conversation yesterday, it was not Ingels who had always been dominant. It's not the person sitting on the throne, but the Sean Connery who looks extremely arrogant!

Whether it was the duke title he obtained, or a series of post-war rewards, allowances and compensations he received from the royal family, when he thought about it carefully at this moment, they were all obtained by stepping on the bottom line of the royal family. Although this kind of clearly marked price situation will indeed make the royal family bleed, at most it will only make Ingels feel a little helpless, but it will not end up with an evaluation of arrogance, ignorance and greed. After all, the price Sean wants is not at all. Not outrageous.

However, this kind of unreasonableness is only for the Ryan Kingdom.

If it was still in the principality period, then even Ingels might not be able to pay, but for the newly annexed Kingdom of Dabion, he has not had time to completely digest the spoils, and even Ingels is only interested in the things in the treasury. With a rough understanding of the situation, Sean's request was very shrewd and capable.

Floris thought for a while, and suddenly thought of someone: "It should be Hella Nugus."

"Nugus?" Inges, the old man, raised his eyebrows. "Didn't he destroy the entire Nugus family? Why are there still people from the Nugus family?"

"Yes, almost all the members of the Nugus family have been wiped out, except for this Hela Nugus. At the beginning, she was the target of Mr. Xiao En's magic circle teleportation and beheading tactics. After that, this Nugus The future heir of the Si family officially joined Lord Sean, and now he has changed his name to Hella Garcia." Marquis Flores said softly, "And according to the investigation. In fact, not only Nugus, but even Hastings The family was not exterminated as it said on the surface. At least according to the current information, at least two people in the Hastings family survived, and they were all taken under the command of Mr. Sean. Among them, Sean Holme was The illegitimate son of Domingo Hastings, the former patriarch of the Hastings family. And according to various signs and information, this illegitimate son is not a law-abiding person."

"It seems that our Duke of the Void is not a peaceful person." The corners of Ingels' mouth slightly raised, "Dare to use people who have been exterminated by themselves, this kind of courage is not something ordinary lords and nobles can possess. Finally The important thing is that the woman from the Nugus family is actually willing to give advice to our Duke of the Void, even calculated to such a shrewd degree, I suddenly look forward to what our guests will encounter when they talk to this Duke. situation."

"Will the members of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance turn their faces directly?" Floris said a little uneasy.

"Flip? You see, we just sold that piece of information yesterday, and today the special envoy rushed over in a hurry. Is this the rhythm of flipping?" Ingels said with a smile. "Before, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has been putting pressure on us to deal with our Duke of the Void, and even threatened to block and interrupt our trade. This time we should ask for some interest from them. Anyway, we sold the information to them. But whether they can get what they want from our Duke of the Void, that's what they need to worry about."

Speaking of which. Ingels Lane showed a meaningful smile: "If I were a member of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, then I would definitely not turn my face."

at the same time.

In a small reception room in the main building of Sean's current mansion named Void Mansion, two people were sitting.

Sean, and the chamber of commerce alliance special envoy who came on behalf of the trade capital.

As for Asuna, Hatch, Kos and others, Sean did not accompany them. Anyway, the relationship between Sean and them was also established on the battlefield, which is a kind of mutual trust beyond friendship. So it doesn't make much difference whether Sean entertains them at this time, not to mention that Cecilia, Cefanio, Reina and others are all present, which is enough.

So at this moment, Sean's meeting with this special envoy is what he really wants to do.

In particular, Sean noticed that the special envoy's self-proclaimed "representing the trade capital" rather than "representing a certain chamber of commerce". This is enough to prove that the joint council of the top ten chambers of commerce in the trading capital has reached a unity. Otherwise, even the special envoys of these chambers of commerce in various kingdoms would not use such important words as "representing the capital of trade".

But even so, Sean was still a little surprised.

Because the special envoy didn't say anything, he first sent a gift to Sean, saying that it was congratulations on his becoming a duke.

And this gift. It was also one of the reasons why Sean couldn't refuse to let the old man enter the mansion.

It was an oval-shaped sapphire about three fingers thick and as long as Sean's palm.

There is dense water vapor flowing in the gemstone, and if it is in a completely enclosed dark environment, this gemstone will even emit a soft azure blue brilliance. But in the hand, there is a refreshing feeling that can make people feel peaceful, especially the silky smooth feel, which makes people love it. But what really makes people care about is not these, but the huge magic power fluctuations that this gemstone has so restrained that if you don't check it carefully, you won't find it at all.

This gem is the azure crystal, which is as famous as the scarlet flame.

An elemental crystal representing the power of the water element.

At the same time, it is also the most important material for the evolution of marshmallows to the next stage!

Sean doesn't believe that the members of the Union of Chambers of Commerce will not know the value of this gem. After all, this is the top ten chambers of commerce that stand at the top of all chambers of commerce in the entire continent. Small chambers of commerce struggling to earn name recognition and thin margins. So pure elemental crystals like this fall into the hands of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and will always be a priceless treasure.

But at this moment, it was used as a stepping stone to meet Sean. Sean used his ass to figure out what the Chamber of Commerce Alliance members were planning.

"If I remember correctly, your Chamber of Commerce Alliance once wanted to ban me. Even when I was fighting against the Kingdom of Darbion, you still wanted to cut off my retreat." Sean made a tsk-tsk sound, but his hands The action on the phone was not slow at all, and he directly hacked this gem, "It seems that I have nothing to say to your chamber of commerce alliance?...Master special envoy, you go slowly, I don't want to delivered."
