None of it seems to have anything to do with you, so you agree to all three of the proposals, triggering the "Roar at the Stake". You cast a spell to contact Melanie and urgently put the slaves to work, and the slaves criticized your actions in the secret room, and the nobles happily praised the new Viscount for his good manners, and the meeting was filled with a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

You made a very good first impression on everyone.

You put Hathaway's hand on your other shoulder. She asked Lohoyo if there was any meaning to the three proposals.

"Not for the time being, but in the long run, the Western Realm will intensify friction with the Heraran Arcane Association, most of the mages have their own research rooms or secret bases, not that they can be expelled by expulsion, maybe the guild will receive relevant commissions soon; the more mercenaries in the north, the more stable the situation will be, but the mercenaries and adventurers have a very close conflict of interest, eating different meals in the same bowl, sooner or later the adventurers will be squeezed out of the north and forced to go south; the more the army is expanded, the higher the maintenance cost, and the sooner the war with the Sand will break out。 ”

Hathaway's cheeks twitched. But in the end, it's always the matter of other lords' own territory, and it's really not easy to meddle.

Lohoyo reminds you that the next step is the "middle thing".

"A proposal of medium importance will involve the interests of other lords, and the rules of the game no longer follow the rules of the game, you win once, I win once. In most cases, 4/5 of the nobles need to agree to get a "medium thing" passed, just like when you proposed the construction of a teleportation station, where opposition is the norm, and bribery is the norm to persuade more supporters. ”

A small and medium-sized nobleman pressed his hand on the table and said:

"For the third time, I asked for a comprehensive reduction in the commercial tax on black tea and tea in the east. Now the tax rate is too high, and many tea estates in the west and central and southern borders are facing great pressure. ”

Agree—Several nobles from the west and north have expressed their opinions. Opposition - The nobles of the south-central and eastern borders have expressed their opinions. The approval rate is less than 4/5. It seems that this matter has been mentioned repeatedly for a long time, but it has always been impossible to pass.

Hathaway asks why the South Central is opposed?

Lohoyo replied, because none of the great nobles of the Central and Southern Realm owned the tea estates. The East Border will not agree to it 100 percent, so this crucial vote in the Central and South Border has become a bargaining chip to ask for high bribes. It is said that the new marquis only wanted a large amount of money and troops, but the small and medium-sized distribution could not provide him with a satisfactory amount.

"I beg you to object. ”

Ha?

But tea or something, it has nothing to do with the guild.

"That way you'll soon get a bribe. Lohoyo laughed.

So, you also raised your hand in disapproval.

The meeting was not long, and it ended unhappily. The tea issue will never stop there, and the small and medium-sized distribution will continue to attract more supporters. You have just left the conference room and walked into the lobby of the temple when a man with a slightly familiar eye salutes you respectfully. Who's coming?—Hathaway is a messenger beside Viscount Eliabes.

With a bright smile on his face and a small packet of black tea leaves in his hand, the messenger respectfully follows you back to the Adventurer's Guild while greeting you. "It's so good that the adults are so angry, and at first glance, they are in good health, so that my family can rest assured. He has always been worried about you, worried that you are too tired, so he sent me to bring you a small bag of fine black tea. This is one of the best tea leaves in the kingdom, and even the head of Elander drinks it. ”

Hathaway took the tea and smelled it, it was really good.

Obviously, such a small packet is just a sample, and it is not a bribe. This guy is here to pay bribes, right? You guys are sitting in the guild's reception room, looking at each other.

“...... It turned out that the rumors were true. ”

The messenger smiled and turned to look at Lucy Xia next to her, who was a little closer to you. Then he continued: "My lord has prepared a special gift for you, and I am worried that if the rumors are wrong, I will pat the horse's leg on the horse's leg. As he spoke, he took out a document from his arms, handed it out with both hands, and when he saw that Hathaway was just about to take it, he immediately withdrew his hand and handed it out again, until you accepted it yourself.

Written above is the profile of a female humanoid.

A, Fallen Angels. This beautiful woman with blonde hair and golden eyes, her wings have not yet turned black. She lost her connection to the Celestials and was weakened by the Slave Catcher's Arcane Caster, equal to level 13 but with a higher health force than humans. There is a collar around the neck, which must also be worn, otherwise it cannot be tamed.

B, Minotaur subspecies. She looks like a cute brown-haired girl with a pair of horns on her head. It is written that he is 1.8 meters tall and has a lot of strength, but there are still many habits similar to the real Minotaur, and he has been weakened by the slave hunting team, which is equivalent to level 13 but has a higher life. There is a collar around the neck, otherwise it cannot be tamed.

C, Succubus. A beautiful crimson woman with two tiny horns on her forehead and a pair of bat-like wings behind her. The standard succubus, unnerfed, is equivalent to a level 13 elite, can read minds, and can transform the evil camp similar to Elizabeth, can only charm one target at a time, and can rely on kissing to suck the seduced or willing to dry, even lethal. Has no negative effect on your greatsword artifact. There is a collar around the neck, otherwise it cannot be tamed.

It seems that the rumors have really spread.

You must never take off the collar or you will get into trouble, but wearing it will also cause another kind of trouble. In addition to having fun, it seems that he can't be accepted as a subordinate.

D, or refuse.

You take a pen and scratch the information, and no matter how you choose, the messenger doesn't intend to respond immediately in front of the other women. He just got up, saluted respectfully, and once again recommended that you taste the tea from Viscount Eliabes, and then departed.

"It's a bribe, isn't it?

"It's just tea, take it, and then agree. ”

"Wait, isn't it true that there are "middle matters" that need to be dealt with in the future, and you have to give bribes to others?

Lohoyo smiled and shook his head. Once their interests were involved, the nobles immediately disregarded any favors, such as the group of nobles in the east who would not agree to reduce the tea tax rate anyway.

What do you mean by "big things"?"

"Refers to the drafting of laws that involve the whole country. Lohoyo thought for a moment, "Let's take a few well-known examples - the "Anti-Slavery Act" and the "Anti-Asian Race Act" were passed by nearly a hundred nobles gathered at the Phantom Conference Table and tossed and tossed for half a month. Essentially, it was a proxy war after the King, Elander, Val, Saint-Sisilang, and Svane were under pressure from each other. "Big things" require 5/5 unanimous approval, and it's been a long time since anyone discussed big things, after all, it hurts the bones. ”

The otaku mage received the contact,

Teleport to a guild on a remote island, with a team of artisans. He was stunned when he found that Lohoyo was also there, and then turned to you and said, "Elder, Sheng Hui, the total cost of building a teleportation array is ......."

You waved your hand,

Tell him that money is no longer an issue. How many Iron Golems have been delivered!
