Things from Another World

Cross Bartra, Duke of Abalon, is a very ambitious man. Abalon under his rule is strong and strong, and the fighting force is very fierce.

He has been craving for greater territory, greater power and voice.

The reason why the southern kingdom of Ronentrant has always been so weak is that it has nothing to do with the Duke of Abalon taking his soldiers out for a lap or two from time to time.

In the eyes of the residents of the Kingdom of Roninante, the Duke of Abalon is almost the same as the devil in the abyss. His name has a great effect in stopping the night cry of children.

Hoddin Gross, Grand Duke of Matannis, Lord of Matannis, the territory is located southeast of Yarinks, east of Abaron, and covers an area of ​​most of the coastal plain and two-thirds of Illus. Coastline.

Located on the Flash Coast, the huge port city of Fira is the most prosperous city of all the cities of the Illus Empire.

It has trade routes with the Kingdom of Solent, the Empire of Rennes, and the Kingdom of Ronantante, and the ocean trade with the Eastern Islands is also very frequent. The huge dhows bring various trade items to this day and night. In the city, the specialty of the Illus Empire is transported away ...

Although Matanni's military strength was weaker than that of Abalon, his economic strength was more affluent than that of the northern territories, Tares.

However, compared to the powerful Abalonian and Matani collars, what was really most important to the Illus Empire was the Taris collar, which was both military and economically balanced.

One of the reasons is that Tales has the largest group of magic metal mines in the empire. The Spade family occupies an absolute number of magic metal mines here, but in addition, the royal family also secretly opened up a small number of magic metal mines here. Of course, most of them are magic iron and Adamantite. Even Mithril is very small and the output is very low, but it is extremely important to upgrade the equipment of the Imperial Army.

The second reason may be to check the expansion of the power of the great aristocracy. At the time, the founding emperor of the Illus Empire, Gilad Illus, set the rules. The lord of the Taris must be a member of the royal family. To make up for the loss of royal family members' abandonment of inheritance, the tax revenue of Taris is also the lowest among all territories.

Now, Lord Taris, Nitro Illus, is Uncle Victor. He is already 68 years old this year. At the beginning, he voluntarily gave up his inheritance and inherited the status of Lord Taris.

It was ironic that the Illuth Empire had only divided three Duke collars, and now only the Taris collar was Victor's trust.

When the conflict between the royal family and the aristocracy was deepening, except that the Grand Duke Tares clearly expressed his support for Victor, the attitudes of the Grand Duke of Abalon and the Grand Duke of Mattany were ambiguous. Confrontation with the aristocracy, their attitude is more subtle.

Now, the Grand Duke of Abalon and the Grand Duke of Mattany are even more overwhelmed. The situation is all the more complicated when they do not even meet Victor on time.

Tang En frowned, and struck his arm subconsciously with his fingers: "Are the Duke of Abalon and the Duke of Mattany also aristocratic?"

"If so, it's easy to say."

Victor shook his head and said with a gloomy face: "The struggle between the royals and the aristocrats can also be said to be internal fighting. No matter how the result ends up, the meat will rot in the pot. I'm afraid they want to rebel ...

Tang En immediately understood what Victor meant: "Are you worried that they are secretly joining forces with a country?"

Victor nodded, this was the situation he was most worried about.

"The Duke of Abalon and the Duke of Mattany may also be delayed because of something. Even if they want to go against it, it is not a matter of a while, and there will be signs."

Tang En reminded Victor: "Rather than thinking about this now, think about how to curb the power of the aristocracy. This is the top priority. If the aristocracy is curbed, you will have other energies to solve Abalon and Matan. Things. "

"Also ... at least everything is fine now."

Victor could only comfort himself.

"Bang."

Victor asked immediately, "Who?"

"Father and mother have been waiting for you in the restaurant for a long time."

"Huh ... it's Ollie."

Victor relieved: "Come in."

Seeing Victor's appearance, Tang En shook his head. The castle might have been infiltrated by people from the aristocracy-it was really sad to be a king.

Aurelia pushed open the door and went into the study, then she saw Tang En, her smile on her face stiffened, and she gave a very natural greeting: "Count Tang, I didn't expect you to be here, to stay Have a meal? Tonight, my mother and mother prepared the special Rennes wild bacon. "

"No ..."

Tang En got up and laughed, "I still don't disturb your family reunion."

After knowing that Aurelia is the night song, Tang En felt strange to see her again.

After all, he tossed a noble princess so fiercely, almost shattering her dignity ...

If it was Tang En, he didn't think he could endure it, but Princess Aurelia had to endure it, which made Tang En's sincere admiration more and more ... excited.

Oops ... can't be too excited ...

Tang En took a deep breath. Before she could evade it, she didn't know it. Now that she knows her identity and still does that, the meaning will be completely different.

After watching Tang En leave, Aurelia's smile broke down immediately: "Father, why are you so good to him? You know how he treats me!"

"Trust me, Ollie, Down will be our hope to save this country."

The expression on Victor's face was very complicated, and such a thing that his family had to hide was a very heavy burden.

He patted Aurelia's head and said, "I know you're angry and hate him, but I hope you don't show it when you see him in this capacity, you must be patient ... after all, he doesn't I know Yege is you. "

Alleria said across her face, "I know, otherwise I wouldn't be smiling anymore."

Victor's face is complicated and his eyes are full of haze: "Oli ... Even if it is the father and me, I may not be able to protect you. If something really happens in the future, remember me, go Find Don, and only he can protect you. "

Aurelia yelled at her cheeks and said, "You won't find him! Brother can protect me! Besides, father, you are so strong, how can there be any accidents, don't talk nonsense."

"Your brother, how can he protect you now ..."

Victor shook his head, and Girard was sent to the Third Regiment of the Empire. He had not returned to Yalinks for several years. The father and the son had been communicating in secret letters, nominally in order to hone the successors of the Empire. The purpose is to protect him, and also to allow Girard to grasp the Third Army of the Empire as soon as possible.

The next day, Yalinks, who had just finished the Carnival of Radiance Festival, suddenly ushered in a wave of "strike hard". It was found that the tax officials who always liked to turn around and eat the card for the first time took an active action, almost together. At the same time, at the same time flooded into the carriage carriages of the Pranyi Chamber of Commerce around Yalinks, forcing the inspection of the books to check the tax.

Not only was the Pranyi Chamber of Commerce being audited, Victor, with the support of Tang En, simply went on and on, and took the initiative to bring the entire business alliance into the scope of the audit. It happened to be negotiated with Tang En There is a lot of business to come next. If you do a good job this time, you will have money for the hot pot chain ...

In addition to the business alliance, the Kadir family was also seeded. The stores and entertainment venues they operated were seized. It was announced that the Kadir family was suspected of tax evasion and therefore needed to check the accounts. But the real reason was clear. .

This is what Tang En countered.

"Are you finally standing in line ... Keke!"

Frank, who was shrouded in dense incense, suddenly coughed violently. After a moment, he took off the handkerchief, which was covered with dark blood.

Charles and Morton were startled: "Master Father!"

"What panic!"

Squint Frank scolded: "Do you think there is no cost to gaining power? This is a normal reaction."

Charles was still a little uneasy: "But you ..."

"I said, this is a normal reaction!"

Frank opened his eyes, and his dark eyes stared at Charles. As a son, Charles was sweated by his father and bowed his head unconsciously. He did not dare to look at Frank at all, and only said voluntarily: " You mean ... "

Frank was satisfied with his majesty, glanced at Morton next to him, and shook his head helplessly.

He was fainted.

Frank stood up and said quietly, "Charles, it's over to you for the family."

Charles stunned: "Master Father, are you ..."

"Next I have to fully grasp this power ... when I come out, it is time for us to settle accounts with Victor."

Frank squinted, like a Maitreya, with a mild smile on his face, but made Charles cold all over.

Father, less and less like that father.

"At that time, I can get real rewards, eternal life, powerful power!"

Frank said softly: "And you, my child, you will be crowned king and bring the blood of our Kadir family to glory."

At first, Charles, who was a little scared, was immediately tempted by Frank, and said enthusiastically, "I see, sir, I will work hard!"

"Very well, then I'm leaving ... by the way, clean this up."

When the voice came, Frank's figure had disappeared. Charles glanced at the pile of white bones next to the table, his heart was inexplicably cold, but he was quickly suppressed by the fanatical desire ...
