There was a sudden silence in the living room.

The kingdom of Biberach is not very rich, it is surrounded by four countries and orc tribes, a lot of financial funds are invested in the construction of the army, and the royal family and nobles are a little tight.

So, whether it's Queen Rose or Earl Neville, they don't have the habit of thinking of throwing money at problems.

Charles's speech instantly stopped the two of them.

Before they could come to their senses, Charles recounted his plans.

The plan is very simple, which is to take a dragon flight to a place where people live in the snowfield, and when you get there, ask if there is a ready-made sale, sell if there is, and find a way if there is none.

The two were quickly convinced by Charles, the plan sounded fine, and it made sense that there were people living near the hot springs in the snowfield, and Earl Neville sighed, and then nodded.

"I'm going too!" Emma was the first to jump out after Grandpa nodded.

"No!" was the first to object, Charles.

He didn't want to take this "little dough" with him, now the dough has been torn into noodles, and it has been partially fermented, so something will happen.

Count Neville also said with a cold face: "You can't go. ”

Emma pouted and left the living room without saying a word.

Earl Neville shook his head helplessly, it seemed that his granddaughter was a little too spoiled.

Charles didn't care, but set his eyes on the large table in the living room, and the map on the table.

Earl Neville smiled and looked at Queen Rose, and the queen had a helpless expression on her face.

"I didn't think you'd be caught in Charles's way. Earl Neville said to the Queen.

Queen Rose sighed, "He has indeed grown up. ”

With that, she beckoned to Charles, and then came to the table.

On the table was a map of the northern part of the kingdom of Biberach, the area where the Charles family's domain bordered Baron Eberbach to be exact.

Baron Eberbach was a vassal of the Marquis of Hermannlik, and his domain was south of Charles's house, and a small river from the maple grove flowed through Charles's house and then to his side.

It is said that when Ru's father was a child, he had a quarrel with the current Baron Eberbach and lost, so he urinated in public into the creek and shouted for them to drink his own urine.

Later, Ru's father was broken off a branch by Grandma St. Angel passing by, and then pressed to the ground until his buttocks bloomed.

The two families were friends in the previous generation, and the daughters of the Eberbach family in this generation, Massa and Mira, have been good friends since childhood.

It was only nine years ago that Massa was caught and abused by bandits on her way back from her grandmother's house in the south, and it was Elizabeth's caravan that exterminated the bandits and rescued her.

At that time, Elizabeth asked the local nobles to send Martha to the nearby temple of war to recuperate, but she left three years later and never returned home.

Charles later made a name for himself with the elves, and Baron Eberbach wrote him a letter thanking him for saving his daughter.

Now, on the edge of the Barony of Eberbach, there is an underground labyrinth for an hour, and the entrance formed by the natural collapse is only about twenty meters from the border between the two families.

Charles glanced at the map on the table as he entered, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

This underground labyrinth looks so large that the Kingdom of Biberach must have done a preliminary survey, and according to the map, sixty percent of the labyrinth's area has been discovered beneath the territory of the Charles family.

The labyrinth economy can make a place rich quickly, set up a stall near the entrance, build a hotel, and those adventurers can give the territory a steady stream of wealth.

According to traditional rules, the labyrinth under Charles's territory belongs to him, and if the two parties want to jointly develop it, the benefits are distributed according to the area.

Now the approach of the Biberach side is a bit unauthentic, first of all, they did not inform the Charles family of the matter, and secondly, they surveyed the labyrinth under the Rujia territory without authorization, which is an infringement of the interests of the Rujia territory.

However, he also left some room for negotiation, and when he entered the living room, he shouted Sister Rose instead of Her Majesty, obviously because he didn't want to put the contradiction on the surface, and everyone resolved it privately.

If Charles talks about this as soon as he comes up, Queen Rose will be at most businesslike, at least not a loss. Now that Charles can help Earl Neville find a cure, the queen has to admit to curing her magic teacher.

Charles took a closer look at the report on the map, it was a man-made labyrinth connected to the underground lava leylines, and a large number of fire crystals had been generated in it over the years, and the economic value was very high.

So he pointed to the small river in his territory on the map, and then drew a short line to the top of the maze, and said: "The maze is too dangerous, my family is not short of this money, it is better to let the water flood." ”

"When the time comes, the water will be hot and rich in fire, so I'll open a hot spring hotel to earn some pocket money for the people. ”

Earl Neville smiled on the other side of the sofa and said, "That's good, I'm going to get a discount on the hot springs." ”

Queen Rose's face darkened, and she said seriously, "There are many fire elemental creatures in the labyrinth, and there have also been flame banshees, and possibly the Flame King, for which we have lost a lot of people. ”

"If they come out of the ground, not just your home, the northern part of our country will be in a disaster. ”

"Only when this problem is solved and our country has no worries can we send troops to support the knowledge city. ”

"For this reason, I found Igarashi Blue Road, and after he gathered his companions, he asked him to go on a crusade against the Fire King, and the rest of the adventurers would be able to solve it. ”

Charles saw her so open and honest, and he also directly stated his plan.

He drew a circle with a diameter of four hundred meters at the center of the maze entrance and said, "I have two proposals. ”

"First, I plan to build a labyrinth business district here, and the land you have over there is rented by me, with a lease term of 99 years, and forty percent of the income from the business district is used as ground rent. ”

"Second, I'll build an entrance and exit on my side, and then build a wall to separate the two sides on the dividing line, and everyone will play their own games. ”

Queen Rose frowned and said, "Forty percent is too little." ”

Charles smiled and said, "Eleven percent of the money you make yourself may not be more than thirty percent of what I earn." ”

As a result, Queen Rose began to play tricks, she leaned next to Charles, and said in a delicate voice: "Little Charles, you see that we can't do five or five branches, didn't you say that you wanted to marry your sister when you were a child, and there are many people who testify to this." ”

Watch the lively Earl Neville squirt out a sip of tea.

Charles, who also had a black line, said: "Regardless of the laws of any country, what a child under the age of six says has no legal effect." ”

Rose raised her hand and poked his head with her finger a few times as before, and said, "I really hurt you in vain before." ”

"By the way, why didn't you say you wanted to marry me after you were five years old?"

Charles pretended not to hear what she was saying, and he couldn't tell the truth that you stopped developing laterally after the age of fourteen, and that your current figure is only a little better than Artoria's previous size.

At this time, the Earl Neville said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I think that the first suggestion of the Earl of Maccaden can be agreed, and his ability to make money is obvious to all. ”

He used the title of nobility, which was an official proposal to the queen.

Queen Rose propped her hands on the table, staring at the map steadily, thinking in her heart.

After half an hour, she whispered to Charles, who had already run over to chat with Earl Neville, "I agree with your first suggestion, but I have one request. ”

Charles stood up and asked, "What request?"

Queen Rose said, "In fifty years, if anything happens to the royal family of Bibrach, you will have to protect the royal family." ”

Charles said, "No problem, I can agree to that." ”

According to his guess, Queen Rose should be worried that the invasion from the necromantic realm will not expand, so she should leave a way back. And the relationship between him and the dragon is obviously not ordinary, and it's just right to be lonely or something.

He doesn't like to deal with Rose very much, this queen is actually a straightforward and decisive person, cutting off the heads of nobles is cut off from house to house, and he will accept it when he sees it.

The big guys set the general direction, and the rest of the trivial matters will be discussed by their respective subordinates, and now Charles's family's business is still a five-party trusteeship, and the custody contract will expire after a year.

When Earl Neville saw that there was nothing wrong, it was like pulling Charles to the study for a deep talk.

He had just tested Charles's magical knowledge and found that this kid was not simple, so his heart of research immediately burned.

But at this time, Emma came back with a mace, and she said to Charles, "I want to compete with you!"
