Magic Industrial Age

When Karl Raymond and Afra Norman couldn't be together, Loy became a bastard.

But after Afra inherited the title of Grand Duchess of Norman, it also meant that she had to have children and had to get married.

Her husband came from a small family, and his cultivation talent and personal abilities were not outstanding.

The only thing he could boast about was that he was very handsome, somewhat resembled Earl Karl Raymond, and had a cowardly personality.

At that time, the Norman family no longer needed to consolidate its position through marriage, and Afra only needed a husband who would not cause hindrance, so she chose this one.

This one was also self-aware, and rarely appeared in White Castle or in the public eye.

Instead, he lived his little life in a manor outside the city, which was suffocating but also free.

However, he still successfully made Grand Duchess Afra pregnant three times, and then gave birth to two sons and a daughter, which was considered to have completed the mission of family inheritance.

The eldest son, Ryan Norman, is seventeen years old this year, has excellent knightly talent, is polite, and is also recognized as the first heir to the duchy.

In a sense, he is indeed Loy's younger brother!

However, I didn't expect to meet him in this kind of occasion?

Loy looked at his receding back and asked, "Is he always so maverick?"

Eva nodded slightly: "Young Master Ryan always likes to do unexpected things."

"Then let's go!"

Loy didn't waste any time, turned around and left, boarded the carriage, and drove away in the 'whinnying' sound.

He looked out of the car window, looking at the increasingly distant castle, like a lurking beast in the moonlight and darkness.

"If I hadn't felt his obvious hostility, I would have really believed Eva's words."

"But, we've never met before, why does my brother want to kill me?"

……

Inn, second floor.

When Loy returned, everyone was waiting, and many people gathered in the study.

Hoover, Ang, Oliveira, and Lilia.

They were all waiting for Loy's news and waiting for his arrangements.

Lilia was the most unrestrained, she directly asked: "Loy, how is it?"

Loy was very relaxed: "The situation is complicated, but I am sure of winning!"

Hoover spoke at this time and said: "Young master, I am in charge of some family businesses and have some contacts with certain nobles in Othel City.

Do you need me to go out and move around, find some nobles, or hold some banquets, or organize small salons, and also do some exchange of benefits."

Hoover understood the rules of the nobility, and what he said was the traditional way.

However, Loy shook his head: "You don't need to do anything, you don't need to manage anything, just stay in this hotel safely."

Except for Oliveira, everyone else looked at each other, not understanding why.

Hoover couldn't help but continue to ask: "Young master, really do nothing?"

"Listen to me, you don't need to do anything, they are not qualified to compete with me!"

After a pause, Loy said again: "On the contrary, we have to do a good job in the takeover and management of the Fresh Flower Territory after inheriting the title."

"Steward Hoover?"

"Young master, please give your orders!"

"I intend to let you go back to the Fresh Flower Territory first, it would be best if you can gather some forces and gather some manpower.

However, safety first, even if you don't do anything else, just find out the specific situation in the territory for me."

"Young master, what about the matters here?"

"There is nothing to arrange, anyway, there will be a result when the next noble council is held."

"Okay, then I'll go back tomorrow."

Loy looked at Ang again and said: "You and Steward Hoover go back together, take the thirty people under your command to protect Steward Hoover's safety,

And, clean up the underground world in the Fresh Flower Territory, their news is the most well-informed, and it is also good to collect a wave."

"I hope that when I arrive at the Fresh Flower Territory, I can know the most accurate situation of the earldom."

"Yes!" Ang agreed very simply:

Loy finally looked at Lilia and asked: "Lilia, are you willing to stay with me, or go back to the Fresh Flower Territory first.

There should still be a group of experts from the empire about magic mechanicals there, you should be able to learn some specific information if you go."

Lilia only hesitated for a second, and then said: "I'll stay with you."

"Then wait for a while, you can help me arrange those magic apprentices we brought, don't let anything go wrong."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

In a few words, Loy had already arranged everything properly, and everyone left to rest.

Loy put his arms around Lilia, exercised well, and slept soundly, without any worries.

……

It should be said that Loy's arrival was like a switch, or a signal, so that the activity of the nobles of the Norman Duchy suddenly increased more than tenfold.

Banquets, salons, and various invitations were everywhere, so frequent that even the nobles who had been to banquets for a long time couldn't bear it.

Even the ordinary residents of Othel City could feel the abnormality between the nobles.

Of course, most of them were happy, because the frequency of banquets and salons increased, they needed to supply more food and vegetables, and they could earn more money by being busy.

No matter which world, for ordinary people, life is better with money.

The activity of these nobles is, to put it bluntly, various collusions, various exchanges of interests, various compromises and disputes, in order to reach some kind of agreement.

According to the habits of the Noble Council, it is usually held on the 1st and 15th of each month.

But for the sake of the earldom, the speaker announced that the meeting was suspended once due to physical discomfort and postponed to the next meeting.

This speaker is not feeling well, not once or twice, with or without him, isn't the meeting still held normally?

But this time, he stopped a session, to put it bluntly, it was to leave enough time for those people to show off, take out money, promise benefits, so as to obtain greater gains.

This matter is really dirty,

However, sometimes, nobles are shameless, what can you do?

Of course, almost all the heirs are making various promises, various invitations, various salons, various banquets, and even fighting each other with swords and swords, and various duels.

Only Loy, who was supported by the Norman Grand Duchess, didn't even move!

He hardly ever left the hotel, and he also restricted the people below from wandering around.

Not to mention actively holding banquets, even when someone couldn't help but want to find out the details and sent an invitation, he directly refused.

This attitude of not even wanting to communicate really puzzled the nobles.

If Loy didn't want the title of Earl, then he wouldn't have to come back.

But since he came with great fanfare, and didn't even hold a banquet or open a salon, how could he win the support of the various seats in the Noble Council?

The most strange thing is that the Norman Grand Duchess didn't make any movement, as if she had given up, which is incredible!

However, news gradually spread, saying that Loy was a cultivation genius.

However, he is relatively slow in the most important interpersonal communication of the nobility.

This is not impossible, just like the descendants of the Freud family, who often have high talent and fast cultivation speed, but are also the worst in managing noble territories and interpersonal relationships.

Loy was classified into this category.

However, although Loy didn't go out to socialize, it would be wrong to say that he didn't have access to information!

The pretty girl Eva will always bring him the latest information, so-and-so has won the support of which member of the council and won three votes.

So-and-so's heir defeated his opponent at the banquet and was praised for his extraordinary strength and the power of a lion.

Of course, these are actually nothing, the most criticized thing is that someone has already drawn a map of the earldom.

Then, according to the summary of the news, various feedbacks, they actually began to divide the territory.

Who does this piece belong to, who does that piece belong to, which business of the Raymond family is promised to whom, and which business is taken away by whom.

Yes, they have defaulted to the decline and division of the Raymond family, as well as the ownership of this large territory and benefits.

That map is updated almost every day, you come and I go, it's so lively.

To be honest, even if Loy has a good temper, he is angry.

The feeling is like his money bag, a group of people reaching in to grab it, you one moment and me the next, impolitely, treating him as nothing!

Fortunately, all of this will come to a result half a month later, on July 15, 312 of the New God Calendar.

These days, he stayed in the hotel, naturally not doing nothing.

He couldn't cultivate during the journey, but now, under the arrangement of Deep Blue, he picked them up one by one.

Breathing method, meditation technique, tempering the body, secret holy technique, spear technique, sword technique, eagle eye technique, extraordinary combat skills...

He needs to learn and improve too much, and he really doesn't think those social interactions and banquets are necessary to participate in.

It is worth mentioning that he also tried the cultivation of [God's Sigh Dragon Might].

In the case of opening [Behemoth Heartbeat], at the cost of consuming soul stones, to temper his own soul.

If meditation is self-improvement, similar to climbing the stairs step by step, in addition to accumulating magic power, it can also help improve the soul strength.

Then [God's Sigh Dragon Might] is taking the cable car up the mountain, you have to spend money, and you can't enjoy the fun of climbing, but the scenery is also in full view.

Therefore, the benefits are naturally great, but Loy really doesn't dare to cultivate for a long time, the consumption of fighting spirit and soul stones is really exaggerated.

However, just when he was concentrating on waiting for the noble meeting to be held and forcefully slapping his face, the pretty girl Eva led him out again.

"Meet someone? Who to meet? Who is worth us going to meet so mysteriously?"

Loy was full of incomprehension, but the pretty girl Eva said: "This is arranged by the master herself.

Even she had to discuss with many parties before she could win this opportunity for you."

"So, this time, you must not drop the chain!"

After a pause, she said again: "The person you are going to meet this time may not be able to decide whether you inherit the title of Earl.

However, after you inherit the title, whether the territory will obey your management depends on whether they are willing to truly support you."

"If you get them done, you will at least solve half of the problem."

Loy became curious and couldn't help but say: "So faceful?"

"That's quite faceful!"

"If you say so, I'm really interested! Let's go, let's go, hurry up, hurry up!"

The second update will be revised again, please wait a moment!
