Chapter 181: The Butterfly Effect
"No, no, no, there must be something wrong, definitely not!"
In the guest rooms of the ChΓ’teau du Cala, the Count of Mel was in a state of impatience, like an ant on a hot pot, constantly changing his steps, and wandering around the room with a restlessness and impatience that he had never felt before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Definitely not, absolutely not! But what's wrong, why can't I see it?! β
"I said Mel, can you stop for a while? You've been walking around my room for hours, you're not tired, I'm tired of looking, wouldn't it be good to stop and have a glass of wine? β
Curled up, lying in a corner of the bed, the Count of Senal, who was full of wine jugs and wine glasses placed at the head of the bed, said helplessly, and poured another glass of wine into his wine glass, and the pale yellow wine wafted out with an attractive mellow aroma, making people unconsciously roll in their throats.
"I tell you, this Munster mead, it's not bad! If only we learned this......"
"Wine! You're still in the mood for a drink! β
The Earl of Mel, who was already anxious, saw that the Count of Sennar was still idle to drink, and he was extremely drunk, he couldn't help but be nameless and angry, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he directly snatched the wine glass in Sennar's hand and fell to the ground fiercely!
"Ah...... My wine ......"
The Count of Sennar was dumbfounded, his eyes rolling back and forth with the wine glass that had been poured on the ground, although the mead had been dropped, but the wine was sprinkled on the ground, and its fragrance burst out at once, and the mellow aroma that had already lingered in the room became even stronger.
"Humph!"
"Okay, okay, I just don't drink it."
Seeing that Count Mel seemed to be on fire, Count Senal, who was still immersed in the aroma of wine and couldn't extricate himself, could only obediently raise his hand and surrender, and in order to show his determination, he even pushed the wine jug aside, which made Count Mel's face look better.
"Okay, now that I don't drink any wine, what are you bothering about, you can tell it."
"What else can it be for, what else can I worry about besides our alliance leader!"
Mel stopped, his tone filled with rage and helpless confusion.
"What's that, he put forward the conditions, and we agreed, wasn't it decided from the beginning! Besides, it's not bad for us, is it? β
"Fools, don't talk!"
Hearing Sennar say such dejecting words, Count Mel did not hesitate, turned his head and glared at Count Sennar again, and Sennar immediately became honest.
"Seriously, you don't think there's a conspiracy in this at all? Such good conditions, so good that I can't believe it, it's just digging out our hearts and lungs. I don't believe that our leader will be a good man who can give us money for nothing. β
"Maybe he's a good man?"
Sennar shrugged and said casually. Of course, he regretted it as soon as the words came out, because Count Mel's next stare came mercilessly.
"Okay, okay, I'll be serious."
Raise your hands, to say that this action is the second time, in order to prevent Count Mel from really being angry and causing some bloodshed in a moment of excitement, Count Sennar can only try to use his brains and say one or two plausible reasons.
"Even if it's a conspiracy, what? Are you eligible to refuse? Am I eligible to refuse? You and I both understand that this world still relies on strength to speak after all, even if our alliance leader makes excessive demands, as long as it does not deprive us of our identity and status, we can only endure it, and this time it is really good, even if it is a conspiracy, then he also gave us a fig leaf, didn't he? β
"But that's the land, the land ......"
"Mel! Understand! β
Count Mel was still hesitating, and Count Sennar's sudden roar completely woke him up from his confusion.
"That's the Grand Duke! It's the Grand Duke that you and I can't beat together! If we don't have enough strength to resist, then we can only obey! Temporary obedience to the strong is not humiliation, but to wait for the opportunity that belongs to us, silently accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to soar into the sky! β
"Charlemagne was only a little-known king before he unified Western Europe, and the glorious church was only a heretical sect in exile in Jerusalem before the coming of the Son, and even William, the king of England next door, was not he born as an illegitimate child? There is no shame in being weak, and it is shameful that the weak cannot see their position clearly. As long as he keeps enough capital, the salted fish will still turn over, and when the real dragon will finally fly into the sky, he will spit out fog day by day, and it is not impossible to surpass the Grand Duke once! β
Surprised, this time it was a real surprise.
It was as if Count Mel had met Count Sennar for the first time, and his eyes were full of disbelief. The man in front of him, he is no longer angry, confused, drunkard, but a real hero, a real hero, able to bend and stretch, can move and be static, movement is above the nine heavens, and stillness is hidden between the clouds and mist, full of great wisdom, in comparison, his little cleverness does not seem to be worth mentioning.
"Surprised? Read more books, and soon you will be like me. β
Sensing Count Mel's astonished gaze, Sennar smiled and said something like this. Although the Earl of Mel did not answer, his gaze clearly showed a meaning, read more books, you?
The Count of Sennar smiled again, and moved away slightly, revealing the windowsill he had hidden, facing a wall of snow-white slogans that could be seen even at night.
"Books are the ladder of human progress - the Grand Duke of Donchester."
Count Mel almost didn't catch his breath, believe it or not!
This slogan is actually the same as those high schools that carved formulas on the stairs in order to eliminate illiteracy, and the little Tang Grand Duke also wrote the slogan on every wall of the Grand Duke's collar. In fact, the one that the Count of Sennar is facing is quite good, if it is the one opposite him, it is estimated that what he will see will be 'wash your hands more, bathe frequently, and be healthy and good baby'.
"The best way to catch up with an invincible enemy is to learn everything about the enemy, the enemy's knowledge, the enemy's capabilities, the enemy's policies...... Reading is just my first step. β
"Mel, you are afraid of losing your land, but it seems to me that this is not an opportunity: in Munster, we have no way to find out the secret of the increase in grain production hidden by the alliance master, but on our own territory, can we not find out?! As long as we grasp this secret, then sooner or later, we can become as rich as the alliance leader. β
Count Mel, dumbfounded, speechless.
"Also, this wine glass......"
Ignoring Count Mel's reaction, Count Senal stooped down and picked up the wine glass on the floor, straightened it, and picked up the flask in the corner of the table, and the pale yellow liquor overflowed again, filling the room with a mellow aroma.
"I was not joking when I told you that the mead is delicious. I really want to learn this technique, so that by the time of the next food crisis, we will not only have honey, but also mead, and we will no longer have to be controlled by people like we are now. β
