Rebirth of the Viking King

Du Lang narrowed his eyes and frowned into the character "Chuan".

Every word spoken by Patriarch Francis seems to be very reasonable, but when combined together, it gives off a sense of fraud unique to ordinary people in the market?

But the last sentence is quite true.

If this blind thing really cheated him, no pawn shop in the 1,200 cities in the entire Western Continent would dare to collect his iconic property.

Eighty percent of the Solonis family's family fortune was accumulated with the support of the "Illuminati". At this time, completing the mission of the Illuminati is the top priority.

Nodding in silence, Durang took off the diamond ring on his finger and handed it to Francis along with the emerald ring on the round table.

The old dean smiled and put the two heavy rings into his arms, his eyes almost turning into crescents.

"I will do my best to fulfill my mission. Within ten days at most, I will ensure that my Duke appears in Paris!"

"Well, didn't we say there was a second thing coming?"

"The second thing is, what do you want your brother to do?"

Durang stared at Francis with sharp eyes for a full minute. During this time, he quickly integrated all the known information

(My judgment was correct!)

(This old guy is just a lustful, greedy, profit-seeking villain!)

After coughing twice, Du Lang revealed another reason for his visit.

"It is said that you and Duke Loki have a pretty good relationship. When you divide the fiefdoms, others can only passively accept it. Only you, Mr. Francis, can take the initiative to choose a suitable position."

"Your position in the Duke's heart is not low!"

Not surprisingly, this must be the information sold to Durang by the ubiquitous information dealers of the Vulcan Cult. The old dean laughed awkwardly and did not answer directly.

He is the chief culprit for betraying all the people of England and causing devastation in the seven countries.

This is not a record worth showing off, and the old patriarch himself knows it well.

"If you can, I need you to do me a small favor."

"This matter has nothing to do with the country, it is a private invitation. If you can complete it, the Solonis family will always regard you as a friend!"

"I can even take you into the palace and meet the big shots who truly stand at the top of the Western Continent!"

The old dean's unyielding eyeballs paused for a moment.

He could hardly believe that what he heard was true.

What is the purpose of human life?

A hundred people will tell you a hundred answers. Although the answers that first emerge from the brain vary, there is one thing that everyone has been doing subconsciously since human beings began to live in groups.

This thing is called "changing one's own class."

In a slave society, slaves want to become slave owners. Slave owners want to obtain official positions, petty officials want to become high officials, and high officials want to be emperors.

In all dynasties of human civilization, 99% of people are trying to accomplish this thing.

However, few succeed.

The biggest obstacle lies in finding a suitable guide.

Between different levels, the almost completely closed circle makes the passage up and down the circulation extremely narrow.

In the eyes of Parisian civilians, the bosses in the handicraft workshops who wear gold and silver and shout around are already the masters. Ordinary migrant workers struggle all their lives to find the wealth they have.

However, as soon as these workshop owners walked into the house of Father Francis, they immediately turned into scoundrels who couldn't fight back or scolded them.

Their raw materials were in the hands of the old imam.

The old patriarch is the father of all of them.

Francis has completed the transformation from civilian to official. If he wants to go up a level and reach the real core of power in the Western Continent, it will be very difficult.

Don't talk about him, even Duke Loki at this time is completely outside the circle of others. No one will bring him in, and he will have to hover outside for the rest of his life.

The reason is not difficult to understand - the leader also has to bear risks.

This is equivalent to forcing an extra chair into the original dining table for 10 people. Although everyone is still full, having one more person is not a comfortable thing after all.

If this person brings disaster again, the person who led the way will immediately become the target of public criticism.

The "Waldorf" family in Constantinople at this time is the best evidence.

They brought the Viking princess into the upper class of Constantinople and succeeded in getting her the resources she needed. However, with the invasion of Bakanbusi, all the Romans who followed her to the Dragon's Breath Plateau to pan for gold were wiped out.

If Mohlantin did not return to Constantinople, the Romans would naturally have to blame the "Waldorf family" for this debt. If Emma hadn't become the chief explorer of the Royal Academy of Sciences in recent years, and the old Gore controlled this waterway to the New World.

The Waldorf family's social reputation is in jeopardy.

**

No matter how you think about it, the "Thoronnis" have no need to improve themselves in the social class.

First of all, today is the first time the two of them have met.

Before today, "Diamond Flower" Durang, like Edward "Long Legs", was a legendary figure to the old patriarch. They were no closer to the old imam than the earth was to the moon.

Secondly, Francis was born into the common people. He does not have a strong family to support him.

This means that bringing him into the game is equivalent to bringing a blood-sucking insect that can only suck blood. He will not bring any benefits to the Plantagenet family and will only find ways to drain their resources.

In the end, the old dean still knew himself.

He knows what his reputation is like in the Western Continent. To describe what he did as "double-faced" is a compliment. The vast majority of righteous knights simply disdain to talk to someone like him who has turned his back on the Holy Light and has no sense of honor.

Even when they saw him on the street, they looked at him with disdain and took a detour.

In stark contrast to him is the "Solonis" family to which "Diamond Flower" Durang belongs.

The Saulonis family is able to rule half of the city of Paris. This cannot be accomplished by just one "Illuminati".

Their family motto is "Solonius walks the talk."

These eight shortened characters are like a business label attached to the backs of all clan members. Du Lang demanded that the dignitaries in the palace and the servants in the mansion must abide by it unconditionally.

The Solonis family can be held responsible for any claim they boast, and they can lose money, stores, and even the lives of their people.

But we must not lose the credibility of our tribe.

The name "Thoronius Family" was created through the use of this shortened slogan by more than ten generations of clan members. Hundreds of years later, almost no one in the entire Western Continent knew about it.

Because they always practice what they preach.

(Since this old guy said he wanted to introduce me to the king, it seems like this should be true.)

(Then the question is, what exactly is he asking for?)

(What is there that only I can do that he can’t do? That would make this old guy throw out such a price)

The old dean continued to raise his ears.

Durang said in a deep voice: "I need you to find out the location of the 'Asgard Portal'."

**

After saying these words, the old dean suddenly felt that the clouds were clearing and everything in front of him was instantly clear.

Du Lang turned out to be the same "sect master" he had seen lying in the crack of the wall, and they all belonged to the mysterious "Illuminati".

(Before I left Rainfall Heights, Duke Rocky repeatedly emphasized that I must be careful of the "Illuminati" spies in Paris)

(I didn’t expect that this group of talents would appear again after five months, and one of them would be the “President of the Chamber of Commerce”!)

(It seems that what Duke Loki said is right. This secret society hidden in the dark side of human civilization does have the ability to see everything in the sky!)

"Tsk tsk"

The old dean chewed his teeth and looked embarrassed.

"This is difficult!"

"Quite difficult!"

"Duke Loki is a noble person in my life. Everything I have today was given to me selflessly by the Duke!"

"As for the 'Asgard Portal', it is the lifeblood of all Vikings. If I leak this kind of information, I'm afraid all the Vikings in the entire Western Continent will regard me as their enemy."

"It's good to be able to enter the upper class, but I also have to live to enjoy it, don't you think?"

After a rather long silence, the old dean continued:

“But then again, as the Lord Edward Plantagenet once wisely said – everyone has a price on their head!”

"If you want me to sell my soul, it's not impossible."

"You have to pay more!"
