United Duchy, Grand Duke's Palace, United Parliament Chambers.

The meeting was attended by the new naval chief, the interior officer, the treasurer, and the senior instructor like an old monk.

The Grand Duke looked at the Grand Instructor, his expression moved slightly, and he said, "The United Duchy has invested almost half of its financial resources, so is there no progress at all?"

Or are those magicians with the funds of the United Duchy not going to build any warships at all?"

The Grand Instructor opened his eyes and closed his eyes at the joint council, he was also extremely helpless.

There is no progress in the research, and there is a fart relationship with him.

As the Grand Instructor of the United Duchy, he is only responsible for ensuring the stability of the various sects of the Nine Duchies, and the construction of warships, which has nothing to do with him

Besides, in this conference hall, there were just a few people, and the Grand Duke was facing him, which made the Grand Instructor feel unhappy.

And such a council, the head of the Holy Knight Alliance, the generalissimo, who should be present, is not there at all, and the justices of the United Court.

The Grand Instructor has been dealing with the Pope, the President of the Wizards Association, the Wizard Elders of the Noble Alliance, and even the Goblin Elders and the Dwarven Elders.

He didn't have time to take care of any naval construction at all, and besides, as a senior instructor, his job was to deal with the beliefs of various ethnic groups, and he didn't know anything about the naval warship.

The Grand Duke was waiting for the Grand Instructor to speak, so that he could be charged with a crime and blast him out of the United Council, so that he could use the remaining half of his assets, and the Grand Duke was determined to build a navy, even if the United Duchy was buried, he did not care.

Seeing that the grand instructor opened his eyes, the grand duke looked expectant, not afraid that you will not admit it, as long as you dare to speak, then I have a way to deal with you.

Who knew that the Grand Instructor opened his eyes, squinted at the Grand Duke for a moment, and then closed them again.

The Grand Duke continued, "The United Duchy, so much financial investment, has not been successfully developed, this duke feels that the money is not enough, so the funds that were subsidized to the Grand Sect of the United Duchy in the past have been allocated to the construction of the navy!

The grand instructor still didn't say a word, and the grand duke's brows tightened, this old man is not easy to deal with!

The meeting broke out unhappily, and the Grand Instructor wore a magic robe embroidered with the coat of arms of the United Principality.

Escorted by the magicians of the Grand Sect Hall, he returned to the Grand Sect Hall.

In front of the desk, he kept shaking his head, "This grand duke, my brain is in water!"

Dare to take the funds allocated by the United Duchy to the Grand Sect to build a navy!

Do you not know, or have you forgotten, the Grand Sect, but the place that governs all the magicians of the United Duchy!

I still remember the last time, the magician rioted and directly demolished all the plaques in the Great Teaching Hall. ”

The broken plaque is standing in the corner of the instructor's office at this moment.

The matter of the magic power competition was arranged on him, and he was not given a penny, so the big instructor was reluctant to start.

Now it has intensified, and even the allocated subsidy has to be deducted, which makes the big instructor sigh.

Unable to sit still, he left the Great Recesaves and walked towards the Union Court.

The co-chancellor, looking at the chief instructor with a sad face, smiled slightly, and said, "Why do you have time to come to me today?

The Grand Instructor sat on the sofa and shook his head, "Not to mention the magic power competition, the Grand Sect Hall is about to be unable to open the pot!"

The Grand Duke wants to use the funds allocated to the Grand Sect to build the navy!

Let me be in charge of the magic power competition, don't give me a penny, no, and ask me to pay, where can I get money for him?

I've figured it out, if he really dares to do that, just prepare for the wrath of the magicians, I can't control it, it's a big deal that I'll stop doing this big instructor!"

The Justice of the United Principality smiled, shook his head, and said, "If you don't do it, who can do it?"

You don't want to think about it, there are so many magicians and so many forces in the United Principality, if it weren't for the Grand Sect to maneuver around, it would have been done a long time ago!

Take the Temple and the Academy of Magic, which are in a long-standing rivalry for your grant.

And the dwarves and goblins, too.

Without the control of the Great Sect, the United Principality would have to be in chaos.

Not to mention that there is also a noble alliance of elders, the elder group of the Magicians Association.

If this is all troubled, it will be a big trouble.

Magicians, no more than ordinary people, take a god-level magician, if you start a battle and destroy a main city, it's the same as playing!"

The Grand Instructor sighed and said, "Who isn't, but what can be done?"

Just this year, it took me a lot of effort to get the subsidy from the Academy of Magic.

The Pope has urged me many times, and I have supported me.

There are also goblins and dwarf Rao, but there are a few numbers, and it doesn't matter much if you drag it out.

However, the Wizards' Association and the Noble Alliance haven't given it yet!

I checked, and many of the mages in the United Duchy, the Requisition Office, and the Requisition are from the Noble Alliance and the Wizards Association. If you don't pay for this, it will be difficult to do it in the future.

I really can't help it, can you give me an idea?"

Looking at the appearance of the grand instructor, the justices of the United Principality also frowned, if this is left unchecked, the United Principality will definitely be chaotic.

However, this batch of funds is not a number, I don't know if the Ninth Duchy can hold it up?

The Chancellor, looking at the distant Ninth Duchy, was silent for a long time.

The Ninth Duchy, the Duke's Palace, Lord Duke looked at the Joint Justices and the Grand Instructor of the United Duchy in the mirror, and his brows tightened.

"Your Excellency, are you an old fool, are you?

Also, Grand Instructor, don't you have your funds under my control?"

Lord Duke, you don't have to think about it to know that this is a literary number, because the subsidies of magicians are different from ordinary people.

If this is agreed, the treasury of the Ninth Duchy will be empty.

The Grand Instructor frowned, and said unhappily, "Don't you want to leave?" Listen, you are going to be transferred to the First Duchy, do you want to be a good duke?"

The Grand Instructor looked threatening, Lord Duke of the Ninth Duchy, his heart trembled, if he offended the Grand Instructor, there would definitely be changes in his transfer to the First Duchy.

The Duke thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you don't have to worry, I'll give you an idea!"

Isn't the duke of the Seventh Duchy going to be transferred to the Third Duchy?

His Seventh Duchy, which is also a long-term financial self-care, must have a lot of savings, don't you want to ask?

If you can't open your mouth, I'll ask!"

The Grand Instructor frowned, glanced at the Chief Justice of the United Principality, and said, "Okay, contact him now!"

In this way, when the Duke of the Seventh Duchy was having dinner, a three-way call was started.

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy looked at the Grand Instructor in the water mirror, the Chief Judge, his brows tightened, and said.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that the subsidy of the Grand Sect is under the management of the United Duchy, right?"

The Grand Instructor said, "The construction of the Navy of the United Principality requires a huge amount of funds, so there is a gap in funds, so you can't get out, right?"

The tone of the grand instructor was not good, and the Duke of the Seventh Duchy did not dare to offend him, because any official with a big character could decide his life.

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy thought for a moment and said, "Dwarves and goblins, I'll take care of it!"

But, something else. I really can't help it!"

The Grand Instructor frowned and said, "Those two clans, it's okay if you don't give them, I'll tell you the truth, I don't plan to give them again!"

You have made it clear to me, you, the future Duke of the Third Duchy, do you still want to do it!"

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy suddenly got up from the dinner table and said, "Don't worry, I'm not done yet, in this way, I'll take care of half of the rest, the Seventh Duchy has been hit by a blizzard, and the finances are in difficulty! ”

"What are you here? Don't you know about me?

The blizzard in the Seventh Duchy and the shortage of wood are still solved by the Holy Seven of the Temple.

What did you do out of it? If you cheat and trick me here again, you will stay in the Seventh Duchy, stay for me!"

Lord Duke of the Seventh Duchy, with a glazed gaze, sat on the chair in front of the table.

If this is really agreed, the finances of the Seventh Duchy will inevitably collapse, and the consequences will definitely put the Seventh Duchy into crisis.

Closing his eyes, Lord Duke of the Seventh Duchy, gritted his teeth and said, "Half, I can only give half, if you want me to stay in the Seventh Duchy for the rest of my life, I will also be half!"

I can't bury the Seventh Duchy for your sake. ”

When the Duke of the Ninth Duchy heard this, he smiled and said, "I'll be responsible for the remaining half."

Do you see what you have forced people to become? Lord Duke of the Seventh Duchy, don't go back on the good half!"

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy directly turned off the water mirror, so angry that he couldn't even eat.

"Damn the Duke of the Ninth Duchy, I must be the one he is in front of the Grand Judge and the Grand Instructor!

It's pushing me into the fire pit, and if I get the chance, I'll kill you!"

The water mirror closed, the communication ended, and the faces of the justices and grand instructors of the United Principality overflowed with smiles.

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy also had a happy face.

"Let's go, find a way to get money!"

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy swayed out of the Duke's Mansion with a big belly.

This money can't come out of the Duke's Palace, he has a way, because he has squeezed out the assets of the nobles and the Magicians Association.

Those shops, but they are still in his hands. The League of Nobles and the Wizards' Guild have dreamed of taking it back.

On the other side, the Duke of the Seventh Duchy got up from the dining table and said, "Recently, there has been a lot of mining, and it's time to collect taxes!"

The order goes down, and all the knights will collect taxes for me, as long as they are on the street, wearing magic robes, and holding ore in their hands, they will collect money from me.

If you don't have any money, confiscate the ore from their hands for me!"

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard, who guarded the Duke of the Seventh Duchy, asked, "How much?"

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy held out a finger and said, "Half!"

Anyone who can become a duke of a country is not an ordinary person.

In the only remaining building of the Wizards Association, Lord Duke, drinking red wine, took a sip, rinsed his mouth, and sprayed it all over the ground in front of Elder Xu Weitus.

"Is this a bad wine bar, are you going to entertain me with this?" the Duke crossed Erlang's legs and glanced at Elder Xu Weitus.

Elder Xu Weites said, "Lord Duke, the Southeast Magicians Association, it is thanks to you that you can drink such red wine!"

Elder Xu Weitus, that is gray hair, he has been worried lately, his bones can't be sold, and he occupies a huge warehouse. The brain is buzzing, and there are signs of hair loss.

The treasury, but the treasury of the Magician Association, is now the asset of the Duke's Palace, and you have to collect money for it.

"Listen, you got a bunch of bones from the northern polar regions?" said the Duke, looking at Elder Xu Weitus.

Elder Xu Weitus's heart trembled, and his face was full of embarrassment.

"Lord Duke, don't you know, building the west of the city requires a lot of money.

Moreover, I can't get a penny out of my Southeast Magicians Association.

There is no way for those registered magicians to build the west of the city.

So, I just had to get some bones that didn't cost me money and wanted to see if I could sell them.

It's better to build the west of the city for the Duke, uh, by the way, get the shop back. ”

This last sentence is the point, the store, is the foundation of the Magician Association, as long as the store is taken back, Elder Xu Weitus, there is a way to make the Southeast Magician Association return to its original state. Even if it's just the shops in the first main city.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the Duke said, "The shop can be returned to you!"

Elder Xu Weitus, hearing this, sat up suddenly.

After a moment, calm down, the Duke will definitely not give it to him in vain.

Elder Xu Weitus asked solemnly, "Yes, all the shops?"

The Duke nodded, only to see Elder Xu Weitus close his eyes, and said with a resolute expression, "Do you want to get rid of the current Grand Duke, or do you want to kill the Duke of the Seventh Duchy?"

Lord Duke of the Ninth Duchy, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said, "No, in your eyes, I just can't tolerate others?"

Besides, I am the Duke of a country, when have you seen me kill someone?

Don't speculate here, if you go back and spread it again, it will damage my reputation!"

"What is that asking me to do?" asked Elder Xuwittus, puzzled.

"Here, hand it to him!" Lord Duke, asked the captain of the Holy Knight Guard to hand Elder Xu Wittus a note.

The note was written with a bunch of numbers.

Elder Xu Weitus, holding the note, his hands trembled, and his mouth was open, and he couldn't close it.

With trembling hands, he said, "Lord Duke, you want my life!"

Lord Duke frowned and said, "You think clearly, this is the only chance you can take back the Southeast Magician Association, all the shops, if you think it can't work, then I can only go to the Noble Alliance next door and take a look!"

The Duke got up to leave, but Elder Xu Weitus hurriedly stopped him and said, "I want to find a way, please give me three times!"

I'll get you the money!"

The Duke smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news!"

Finished, with the knights' guards, he walked towards William's castle, the only remaining stronghold of the noble alliance.

The Seventh Duchy, the Duke's Palace, the Lord Duke of the Seventh Duchy fiddling with a knight's holy sword.

The Great Elder of the Goblin Clan, the City Lord of Goblin City, the two of them, have been sitting here for half a while.

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy ignored them.

Grand Elder Paul Kochagin couldn't help it, and stood up and said, "Lord Duke, you can take care of your knights, they have gone to Goblin City to collect taxes.

Moreover, they directly robbed the blood-colored ore we had worked so hard to collect, you have to call the shots for us!"

"Oh, yes, how did I not know?" the Duke of the Seventh Duchy, continuing to fiddle with the Holy Cross Sword in his hand.

"Otherwise, call the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, and we'll face each other!" said Grand Elder Paul Kochakin.

"Go, call someone to me!" said the Duke of the Seventh Duchy with an unchanged face.

Grand Elder Paul Kochakin, who had just collected a large amount of blood-colored ore from the northern polar region, was stopped by the knights' guards as soon as he entered the city gate.

That's dead or alive, and you have to collect taxes when you open your mouth and close your mouth, and if you don't have money, you grab ore.

A full half of the blood-colored ore was carried into the Duke's Palace, and they even snatched the goblin clan's forge and used it to load the ore.

The city lord of Goblin City also took the opportunity to say, "Not only that, they collect taxes in Goblin City and rob the miners of the Goblin Clan, making everyone in Goblin City dangerous and reducing the population by half!"

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy frowned slightly, those people did not belong to Goblin City in the first place, most of them were mined by other Duchies of the United Duchy, and it was better to run.

Captain of the Holy Knight Guard, before the Duke of the Seventh Duchy.

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy pointed to the Great Elder and the City Lord of Goblin City and said, "You robbed the two of them, did you rob them?"

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard said, "No, I'm here to collect taxes!"

"Collect taxes? Do you collect such a fee? You come up and ask for half of it, half of it, you don't let people live!

I'm telling you, if you don't give me back the ore, I'm not done with you!" the Great Elder stood up with his cane.

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard snorted coldly with a slight smile and said, "Great Elder, if I'm not wrong, your ore was collected from the northern polar regions!"

There, it doesn't belong to the goblin clan, half of it, I already pity you, if the United Duchy knows, I won't give you a piece left!"

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard shook his finger and said.

The lord of Goblin City said, "Then you can't collect taxes in Goblin City, Goblin City has autonomy!"

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard, smiling slightly, came to the city lord of Goblin City and said, "Goblin City, in recent times, the people who have come are not from Goblin City.

I'm collecting their taxes, in other words, I don't collect taxes from your goblins!"

Grand Elder Paul Kochakin was so angry that he couldn't do it, but this was the Duke's Palace, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep half of his ore.

Sure enough, the Duke of the Seventh Duchy came to the Great Elder and said, "Who does you, the Northern Polar Land, belong to the ore collected by the Northern Polar Region?"

The duke's smiling face made the Great Elder's whole body tremble, and he subconsciously said, "It belongs to the United Duchy, the First Duchy." ”

"What about the ore that was gathered?" asked the Duke of the Seventh Duchy with a smile.

The Great Elder was silent, getting up to leave.

Stopped by the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, "You're leaving, and you don't say a word, what kind of place are you going to be?"

Grand Elder Paul Kochagin regretted stepping into the Duke's Palace a little.

"It's okay, just leave if you want to, I'm not an unreasonable person!

I can give you back that blood-colored ore!" The Duke of the Seventh Duchy pointed to the captain of the Holy Knight Guard and continued, "Hand it to him!"

A note full of numbers was handed to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder glanced at it and was stunned, "Lord Duke, what do you mean?"

"Take the money in exchange, if you don't have that much money, you, dwarves, do they have it?

Are they willing to spend money to buy it?" sheathed the holy sword of the Cross in the hands of the Duke of the Seventh Duchy.

The City Lord of Goblin City, and the Great Elder returned to the City Lord's Mansion of Linjing City with a note.

Glancing at the numbers above, the city lord of Goblin City shook his head and said, "I won't let you go, you have to go, you have to go, you see, what should I do now?"

Grand Elder Paul Kochakin leaned his cane on the ground and said, "No matter what, we can't let that blood-colored ore flow into the hands of the dwarves!"

Borrow it from me, go to the Wizards' Guild, the Noble Alliance, even if you go to the United Duchy Bank to take out a loan, you have to get it for me!

You're going!"

As soon as the City Lord of Goblin City returned to the City Lord's Mansion, his butt was not yet hot, and he was kicked out of the City Lord's Mansion by the Great Elder's cane.

Go straight to the Noble Alliance, get out of the Noble Alliance, and go to the Wizards Association.

Still didn't make up enough, and in desperation, he stepped into the United Silver School of the United Principality

The person in charge of the Union Bank pointed to the map on a mountain road in the west, "That's not enough?"

The Goblin City Lord closed his eyes, "How many are you?"

The head of the Union Bank drew a large circle on the map with a quill pen.

That big circle is just to avoid Lin Jing City.

"Fifty years!!" said the person in charge, putting away his quill pen.

The city lord of Goblin City looked at the map and his heart trembled.

In the past fifty years, the places that can be seen in the western mountains do not belong to Goblin City, and the ore collected from them does not need to pay taxes to Goblin City, and goes directly into the pockets of Union Bank.

"How much, leave us some?" said the Goblin City Lord pitifully.

The person in charge of Union Bank waved his quill again and circled a very large position.

"That's it, if you don't agree, you can go somewhere else and see who can get that much money!" The person in charge put away his pen and ink, and waited for the goblin city lord to agree.

In this way, the Great Elder of the Goblin Clan finally retrieved the stolen blood-colored ore from the Duke's Mansion of the Seventh Duchy.

Goblin City City Lord's Mansion, an elder said, "The number, it seems to be a little less!, why don't you go to the Duke's Mansion and ask?"

The Great Elder shook his hands and shook his head, If you go again, I am afraid that you will still bleed.

Duke's Palace of the Seventh Duchy.

The Duke of the Seventh Duchy furrowed his brows and said, "Take the ones you secretly left behind to the dwarf clan and give me a price to die!"

The dwarven patriarch Oak was also excited when he saw two baskets of blood-colored ore.

When I asked about the price, my jaw was about to drop.

"My knight, you're crazy, aren't you?

The Captain of the Holy Knight Guard of the Seventh Duchy said, "This is my private possession, except for me, then only the Great Elder of the Goblin Clan has it."

Do you understand that scarcity is expensive?"

Oak thought about it for a while, but still paid the money, this ore, turned back into a peerless weapon, will definitely be able to recover the cost.

The Duke's Palace of the Seventh Duchy, Lord Duke, collected a full three and a half taxes in a row throughout the territory of the Seventh Duchy. Even with the Kenglin Elite Clan and the Dwarf Clan, a large sum of money, he finally managed to make up half of the subsidy from the Grand Sect Hall of the United Principality.

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy was also unequivocal, pit the Magician Association, and made a large sum of money from the Noble Alliance to make up the remaining half.

At noon after the three, the three-way call started again.

The Grand Instructor praised the two Dukes, and the Chief Justice shook his head and said nothing.

The water mirror was closed, and the money was put into the teleportation array and sent over.

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The League of Nobles, the Wizards' Association, have also returned to normal, shops, auction houses, hotels, all returned to them!

In this way, I don't have to worry so much, and when the time comes, I can just collect a tax!"

Lord Duke of the Ninth Duchy, remembering the method used by the Duke of the Seventh Duchy, smiled slightly, and smiled unconsciously.

"Half tax, you're ruthless!"

In the Duke's Mansion of the Seventh Duchy, the Duke sat at the dining table, his constricted brows finally relaxed.

"If you're not ruthless, you're not going to be ruthless, where can you get him so much money!

If you don't be ruthless, if the Great Teaching Hall is dispersed and the magicians of the United Principality cause chaos, you will have a worse life!"

Lord Duke of the Seventh Duchy, that is also a heart, even with the Kenglin Elite Clan and the Dwarf Clan so many times, it is also unbearable.

The good heart attacked, and there was a nameless pain in the heart. Half a breath came over, and sighed helplessly.

"Well, how did I become a duke of a country?"

The Duke's Mansion of the Ninth Duchy, this Duke, has no good intentions.

Looking up at the direction of the aristocratic union and the direction of the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild. The Duke of the Ninth Duchy frowned, and said unconsciously, "Am I receiving too little?"

Isn't it too cheap to just give them like that?"

The Southeast Wizards Association, the headquarters building, Elder Xu Wittus, radiant entertained the elders from the headquarters of the Wizards Association.

"Rest assured, elders, as long as it takes a year, I will pay off the arrears to the throne, the Southeast Magicians Association, and make a big difference!" Elder Xu Weitus said a word, causing all the elders to nod silently.

"But are you really going to put that pile of bones out for sale?" asked an elder, untimely.

Elder Xu Weitus was not in glory, and his face was full of black lines.

The League of Nobles, William's Castle, James Bond also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Now, as long as we run it properly, we will definitely be able to get through it!"

James Iran shook his head with a big belly, and said, "Pete, the Western Chamber of Commerce, it's ruined!"

What we got back was an empty shell, what can we do?"

James Bond smiled and said, "Empty shell? That's because you don't know how to run a business!"

William interjected, "What is the way of doing business?"

James Bond continued, "It's about making an empty shell, digging it bigger, and turning it into a bigger empty shell!"

Because, in this world, as long as you don't want it, whatever it is, it's empty!

As long as you want, even a speck of dust is worth a thousand gold!"

James Bond was a businessman who could sell air for the price of gold.

Taking back the gold as a potato, his ability is not so simple.

However, the aristocratic alliance property of the Ninth Duchy is not something he can do alone.

A piece of news, like a bolt from the blue, hit James Bond on the head.

An order was handed from the hands of the subordinates to the hands of James Bond

The order was written, "Byzantium, will resign from the position of deputy head of the alliance and serve as the first person in charge of the nine principalities of the noble alliance!"

James Bond looked up and scolded, "I'll go to your uncle's! You are really good at picking the time, at this time, you don't do it, the deputy head of the alliance is not right, just to come and be angry with me!"

Byzantium was not the vice-governor of the alliance, but was willing to come to the Ninth Duchy as the first head, and that had to start from the Holy Seven of the Temple.

The Temple's Sacred Seven Rice Balls Tumin was severely injured, and as the head of the Retreat, she felt that she should go to the Retreat to avoid Martin Paruru.

So he took the opportunity to leave the Temple Order and came to the Magic Order of the Neighboring Nine Parish.

As soon as she left, Byzantium was the first to receive the news and immediately resigned as deputy head of the alliance and quit!

Since the new duke took office, the dispatch of the sacred-level magicians has been completely out of control.

No one cares anymore, and someone will ask in the past, your family's sacred-level magician, you can't move around, you have to maintain the stability of the United Principality.

Now, no one cares where you like to go.

The Generalissimo, the Chief Justice, and the Grand Instructor, who had been keen on managing this matter, were all three of them.
