Chapter 102: Power and Money Trading

If Sean had no roots, the matter would have been solved.

Don't think that the officials of the Solo City Hall are so honest, but he is entangled with Angie Bena, and the city hall officials can only deal with it impartially.

A privileged class like Swendi has always been a special thing, and many things are a matter of one sentence, how have you ever seen this kind of Tai Chi pusher who does not touch responsibility, and it is strange that his nose is not crooked.

There was no way, Swendi used the Holy Aether Holy See relationship, but he didn't expect that the other party was not good, and he actually took refuge in the Witches' Secret Society cleanly.

The Angel Bena, who had a relationship with each other, was very fond of her, and was ready to find an opportunity to develop a romantic relationship, turned out to be a witch in the witch's secret meeting, which greatly reduced Swendy's sense of her.

What surprised Swendi even more was that the Holy Aether Holy See, which had always been rigid, became so soft when it arrived in the Diocese of the Manyu Army, and it was an incredible thing to put it in the plains of Asia Minor, and those witches did not dare to show their faces at all, and those who dared to come out were all burned at the stake.

That's what the world is. Conrad was surprised, "It's better to rely on people than on yourself." ”

"How?" said Swindy, with an interested look.

"If you want to completely shoot the other party to death, it is impossible in a short time, but there is a way to make the other party uncomfortable. Conrad said meaningfully.

"How?"

"What the other party wants to do, the other party can't do. Condra saw Swendy's expression of listening before continuing.

"Didn't the other party collude with the corpse collectors to transport those seriously wounded gladiators to rescue them? We let them not have this chance! When the time comes, they will either be executed directly on the spot, or they will be stabbed afterwards, no matter how strong their medical skills are, they will not be able to bring the dead back to life, right?"

Swendi slapped his thigh hard, "This method is good, why didn't I think of it before? In this way, no matter what they want to do, the plan has to fail, just do it, they make me feel bad, I make them more uncomfortable!"

Immediately after that, Swendi showed a look of embarrassment, "This method has to be cooperated by those big slave owners, I am an outsider, please don't move them." ”

Swendy would never admit that he had disregarded the rules before, acted in an extremely domineering style, sent the Valesta Butcher down, and offended those slave owners, big and small, and now he had no face to beg others.

Conrad is also the master of the monkey who is stained with hair, the monkey spirit monkey spirit, and he has made preparations for the investigation in all aspects before coming, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Lord Viscount, my Lord has some connections in this area, and he will naturally make a match, before coming, I have visited several of the largest slave owners in the Manyu Army, and they are deeply sympathetic to Lord Viscount's suffering, they have also suffered dumb losses similar to Lord Viscount, but they are weak and do not want to cause trouble, if Lord Viscount is willing to take the lead, they will organize people in the industry to support Lord Viscount. ”

After listening to Conrad's explanation, Swendi couldn't help but glance at his new chief of guard, and sighed in his heart, he is also the chief of the guard, why is the difference so big, look at how good the chief of the guard is.

It's good to be yourself, Herbert is a martial madman, he knows how to fight and kill all day long, but at least there is force, and now this is a stupid idiot, except for eating, nothing else.

"This time, I accept the love of Lord Baron, and I will definitely return it if I have the opportunity in the future. ”

The steps of the people are all paved to the feet, and Swendi has no reason not to take the opportunity to go downhill.

Conrad was indeed all-encompassing and efficient, and Swendi had just nodded his head when there was a grand party that night.

The participants were all prominent members of the Manyu military domain, who were more or less associated with slave gladiators, mainly the minor local aristocracy.

Not to mention a big man like Duke Borg, even if it is those hereditary earls and hereditary viscounts, Patrium may not be able to invite him to come in person, let alone Conrad, the chief of the personal guard with his name, usually can't even enter people's mansions.

Even the minor nobles in these places were apparently selective, most of whom were close to the Holy See and expressed their dissatisfaction with the new medical treatment, either privately or publicly.

When these people get together, they naturally smell the same, and they consciously or unconsciously pull the topic to the medical center.

"That slave-born bastard, it is becoming more and more unlawless, my slave has been saved, and I, as the master, do not know, I went to the door to ask for the return of my slave, and asked me for twenty silver coins, what are you kidding, a cripple with a broken leg, even asked me for twenty silver coins, I can buy two good new slaves. ”

"That slave of yours just can't get on the table, he can only warm up at the beginning, let alone break his leg, even if he is in good condition, he won't survive the season, just treat him as if he is dead. ”

"That being said, this is not the case, whether it is dead or alive, it is all my slaves, whether to give it away or not, then it is up to me to say, what is his behavior of taking it without telling him? Robbery and robbery! The behavior of robbers! The people in the city hall are blind in their eyes and deaf in their ears? This kind of shop is also allowed to open? This kind of behavior is also allowed? This is the atmosphere that corrupts our Solo City. ”

"Those people in the city hall are only focused on money, as long as your money is in place and you pay enough taxes, they still care whether you slaughter pigs or slaughter people, not to mention, there is Miss Angel Bena in the way, and those who tend to be inflammatory, they must turn a blind eye. ”

"Anything, once that demon girl is involved, it will be no good thing, I really don't understand, what does the Duke think, he actually allowed those demon girls to roam freely in our military territory, since those demon girls came, nothing good has happened to our military leader, if you want me to say, you should send those demon girls to the stake, believe in the God of Truth, and promote the Holy Aether Holy See is the right way, since the Holy See established a church in my town, those Diao people are obviously much more docile. ”

"This kind of slander, don't talk nonsense, the Duke does this, naturally has his own considerations, you only see the good of the Holy Aether Holy See, you don't see his disadvantages, you don't see how big the Holy See is in the plains of Asia Minor, many people only know the Pope but not the king, and in some places there is even a matter of replacing the royal power with divine power, the royal family of Lancelot has formulated a lot of policies to restrict the Holy Aether Holy See in recent years, and the royal power and divine power in the royal capital are even more fierce. It is precisely when the Duke sees this that he will turn a blind eye to the development of that group of witches, in order to limit the rapid expansion of the Holy See and benefit from it. ”

"Sir Gao Zhi, the analysis is three points, the Duke formulates policies from the entire military leader, how can we figure it out at will! Everyone be cautious!

I heard that the protagonist of tonight's banquet is the viscount from the royal capital, and I heard that he was also disgraced in the infirmary, and I also heard that the notorious butcher of Valletas is not dead. ”

"I've also heard that it was saved by the people of the medical clinic using dark sorcery, and it is said that a lot of animals were sacrificed and pulled back from the hands of death, and you were all present at that game, but Sir Starbuck didn't spare his hand, and he could survive that kind of injury, which is a bit unbelievable, anyway, this medical clinic is still a bit of a doorway. ”

"It's just a pretence! Who can say for sure if it's a real Valletas butcher? Maybe the medical clinic has hired a man of similar stature to deliberately disguise his scars and advertise his medical skills in order to promote himself? This is the usual trick of those liars! I haven't heard that guy in the medical center is demented, except for eating, just eating, the original owner went, he didn't admit it at all, and he almost didn't tear the viscount's hand, even if he had a brain problem, he wouldn't be so thorough, if I want to say, it must be an impostor. ”

"It's not that simple, that Viscount has another big knight by his side, the imposter in your mouth has no power to fight back, the other party has such great ability, and with such a big capital, you can casually find a big knight of similar size to pretend to be?"

"Don't forget that behind the other party is a witch secret meeting, for them, this is not a difficult thing?"

"It doesn't matter if he's an imposter or not, what does this matter have to do with us? That guy deserves it, if he wasn't so arrogant, how could there be so many things?"

"That Lord Viscount did act a little arrogant, but he was young and vigorous, and it was understandable, since they had already admitted their mistakes, this matter was revealed, but I don't know, what is the purpose of Lord Baron Patalum in inviting us to gather?"

"What else can I do, of course, I want to please this viscount, and borrow our hands to continue to fight with each other. ”

"Then fight with the other party, just us, but I heard that the viscount has not been idle recently, even Bishop Alva and Brother Jensen have been invited, and in the end there is still nothing to be done, what can we do with our little arms and legs?"

"The nature is different, if they make a move, it is likely to cause a full-scale war between the Holy See and the Council, we don't need to resist each other, we just need to deal with our gladiators, and don't give the medical center a chance to pick up the leaks, which is the biggest blow to them, Lord Baron Patlem should take a fancy to this!"

"This is indeed a method, but it is too bloody and cruel to do so, and I am afraid that it will cause bad results among gladiators. ”

"Hah...... It's a bit ridiculous to think about it, when will gladiatorial fights stop being bloody? When will gladiatorial fights stop being cruel? Do you care what those slaves think? Should you say that you are merciful? Or is it the kindness of a woman?"

"How can this be considered a woman's kindness? I just have room to be a human being, and since they have already died once, it is their fate to be saved, so why should we do it to the end, and even block this opportunity? It will only provoke the greater resentment of the slaves. ”

"Hey, do you still expect those slaves to think that we are okay? As long as they give them a chance, they will want to hang us all, the role of this kind of people is to create wealth for us, if they don't have this role, they have no meaning in life. ”

"Your thinking is not right, it will only increase the hatred of those gladiators for no reason, sooner or later they will not continue to endure it,-for-tat with you, how will you deal with yourself?"

"It's not easy, kill them all and change to another wave of gladiators!"

"Butcher, what's the difference between you doing this and being a butcher?"

"What qualifications do you have to say about me? You and your family are the biggest slave owners among us, right? Your gladiators have also participated in competitions and amassed wealth......! You're not going to tell me you're going to respond to the free-slave order and give those slaves their freedom, are you?"

"Not necessarily now, but I will do it one day in the future, because this is the general trend in the future, you always say that after the slaves are freed, our land will be barren and lose our wealth, but the Lancelot royal family has been in charge for so many years, and the plains of Asia Minor have not only not been barren, but have become more prosperous, and the financial deficit of the royal family has been completely reversed, and it is not impossible to surpass the Kingsley family and become the richest family on the mainland in the future. ”

"I think you're stupid at reading! If you want to accumulate a wealth that surpasses the Kingsley family by farming, don't be delusional, the wealth produced by a small mine is enough for you to produce in a city of tens of thousands of people for more than ten years, and there are people who are the plains of Asia Minor, not your poor country, if you drive all the slaves to farm, I dare say, in less than ten years, your family will be defeated in your hands. ”

"You ......"

"Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, the main owner is here, listen to what they say!"

Although these people are talking and expressing their opinions, they are just letting their mouths go in their own small circle, in fact, they know that it is not among them who can really make decisions, but the small circle where Swendy and Conrad are.

There were only five or six men there, but they were all real big slave owners, and none of the gladiators under their command were less than a hundred, and there were many of the best of them, and the number alone accounted for two-thirds of the rest of the people present, and when they made a decision, the banquet was basically settled - politics has always been a power game for a small number of people, and that has never changed.

Whether it was Swendy, Conrad, or those big slave owners, they were all full of spring breeze and smiles, and it was obvious that they had achieved satisfactory results in the secret talks just now.

Swendy and Conrad have power, and those big slave owners have money, and when a mutually satisfactory result is reached, it is the most typical power-for-money transaction, and as for the benefits sacrificed, it is just a group of inconsequential slave gladiators who have no human rights in the first place.

Of course, this is a secret and unfair, and as for the price paid by Swendy and Conrad, no one knows that the big slave owners announced their decision in this regard.
