Viscount Barin returned to the Connor family's castle and easily met his father, Earl Connor.

He was like a Santa Claus, distributing a large number of gifts along the way.

Especially the brothers and sisters, each of them received a gift.

Viscount Barin carefully selected good things that were suitable for their age and status.

This made his elder brother Collison jealous, but after being warned by the earl several times, he did not dare to do anything excessive to Barin.

Moreover, Barin is no longer the same as before, and not everyone can give him a cold look.

At the door of the study, seeing his elder brother Collison who looked unhappy but tried his best to cover up, Barin's smile became even more.

This feeling... cool.

I like the way you are jealous and hate me, but you can't get rid of me.

Of course, on the surface, they are still brothers and sisters.

Balin personally handed over a box like the one in Kane's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, I heard that you like to play with guns recently. This is a gift I picked for you."

Collison took it with a smile, looking very touched: "My dear brother, I am very happy that you still remember me, your elder brother. I will definitely keep it well.

Go in quickly, father is waiting for you inside."

Balin smiled and pushed open the door. This time, Earl Connor was not reading a book, as if he was waiting for him to come back.

Collison followed him in and opened the box casually.

It was indeed a good thing, he liked it very much, but when he thought that it was given by Balin, he felt disgusted.

Earl Connor saw the brotherhood between his two sons at a glance, which was too fake.

But he had given up interfering, as long as he could save face.

As the Northern Principality became more and more powerful, Balin became more and more important in his eyes.

To be honest, Earl Connor never thought that things would develop to this point today.

Even if the Northern Principality unified the three kingdoms, he could accept it, after all, it was still within his cognition.

But now... the world is changing too fast, so fast that he can't understand it.

As a count who climbed up from the bottom, his thinking is open-minded, but he still can't keep up with the pace of the Northern Principality.

Fortunately, the family is developing well now. Even if you can't understand everything, it's definitely right to follow the strong.

As for the Bruno royal family, he has been completely abandoned by him.

"How is the family's fleet? The maritime trade has been very lively recently. I heard that the king in the capital has begun to participate." Earl Connor asked the question he was most concerned about.

For some reason, he decided to do maritime trade in Port Digen.

Unexpectedly, it became one of the wisest decisions in his life.

With the outbreak of maritime trade, the fleet's revenue has exploded.

Of course, this business is firmly in the hands of Earl Connor, and everything is handled by his confidants. He occasionally goes to the Northern Principality secretly.

But after all, it is under the name of Viscount Bahrain, so he has to ask every time.

Balin certainly understood what his father meant, and immediately replied: "I heard that the family's fleet has increased its income.

There is no bad news from the Duke's mansion. On the contrary, because of the opening of the railway, trade seems to be booming again.

Nowadays, the number of factories from Port Degen to Augusta City has exploded, and a large amount of goods are handled from the port. Merchants from several nearby countries like to come to purchase goods.

And I heard that the Duke appointed Viscount Lawrence as the commander of the Canard Naval Command to form a fleet in the New World.

Earl Jeffreys is doing well there, and can even provide a lot of raw materials to the mainland in return.

..."

A lot of intelligence, big and small, is unknown to foreign countries.

Only by being close to the power center of the Northern Principality can you receive these policies and news at all times.

Earl Connor knows the importance of intelligence, listens carefully, and even takes notes of some key points.

"......

General Virut has formed the First Infantry Division of the Principality, which is an elite force that is fully equipped with firearms, with a total of more than 10,000 people.

Everyone is saying that General Virut is the future Minister of the Principality's Army Department.

..."

Speaking of this, Balin couldn't help but envy Virut.

In terms of trust, Virut is really a first-tier player.

Since being recalled, the Duke will definitely take Virut with him when he goes out, and some close tasks are also given to him to perform.

In a short period of time, Virut has returned to the mainstream sight of the Principality.

Then he was ordered to form the first new infantry division of the Principality, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Just two years ago, everyone almost forgot that there was such a person in the Principality.

Earl Connor saw it more clearly than his son, and interrupted to point out: "This is the Duke of the North rewarding his merits.

At the beginning, Virut took a huge risk to promote the independence of the principality. The greater the pressure he suffered, the greater the reward now.

Every monarch will reward such a minister.

Of course, we have to admire the trust and magnanimity of this monarch and minister. If it were us...if it were other monarchs, we might not dare to value people like Virut. Praising him highly is the best outcome.

Don't envy Virut, you can't compare with him.

At the beginning...with his identity, status, and merits, there was no need to do this. Do you think he was speculating in politics?"

Bahrain nodded subconsciously, which was also the mainstream view.

If Virut hadn't succeeded in political speculation, how could he be so successful today?

Earl Connor sneered, stood up and walked around, picked up his pipe, lit it and took a puff.

"Ha! Does Verut need to speculate politically? Even if he does nothing, with his position under the Duke of the North at that time, do you think it is a high match for him to be the commander of the First Infantry Division?"

Others are blinded by jealousy, but Earl Connor is not.

He clearly remembers seeing this young man on the battlefield.

Since the Duke of the North started, Verut has participated in most of the battles. The great reputation of the Knights of the North has only been forgotten in a few years?

How many people were frightened by the Knights of the North at that time, thinking that it was just bragging?

The number of innocent souls who died in Verut's hands is more than many people have known in their lifetime.

Is it necessary for such a meritorious general to speculate?

Based on his merits and abilities alone, he is firmly in the first echelon of the Northern Principality.

Earl Connor carefully analyzed the reasons for his two sons.

Finally, he concluded: "Don't be blinded by jealousy. Virut and the Duke of the North truly trust each other. A knight is willing to give everything for his lord. Why shouldn't he be trusted?

Who in this world can compete with such a monarch and minister?"

The will of the people is the kingly way.

Earl Connor exhaled a puff of smoke. This is why he completely turned to the Northern Duchy.

Do you really think that a little money can make him change his attitude?

He knows better than anyone that advanced weapons, a lot of money, and wealth in the world are all false.

The will of the people is the real one.

Weapons also need people to use them. Money is useless in front of the iron hoof. Sooner or later, wealth in the world will belong to others.

After speaking, he sat down and put his pipe aside: "Come, let's count the accounts, and the father and son must also be counted clearly."

Of course, money is still useful to him. Anyway, he is not competing for the hearts of the people.

Really fragrant!!!
