265. There is always agreement on such issues
The down-and-out nobleman who looked like his family was ruined only began to explain what had happened to Bai Yi after a series of apologies, he seemed to have been hit very hard, his thoughts were very confused, and his words were even more incoherent, but fortunately, with Wentini on the side to help explain, Bai Yi barely figured out what was going on.
The young nobleman who looked to be in his 30s was named Earl Hodder, the title was hereditary, the family's previous ore business was good, and the ancestors were also broad, but then suffered a painful loss because of a failed plane development, and since then it has been in a slump, and it has inevitably gone into decline, although it is not to sink here, but it is not far away.
But fortunately, his family's network is still there, so he was found by Wentini and invited him to join the gang to act as a middleman, and he himself also turned out his wife and coffin book, ready to do a big job.
It's just that this person has a lot of ambition, and he is unwilling to see the Dowler family occupy a dominant position in this huge market development, so he pondered the trump card that Wendini has in hand, the matching magic circle on the glider, he stole a few, and found the great sage of the Mystery Gate and the people of the Mage Association, trying to decipher or imitate this set of magic circles, so the previous scene happened.
Knowing that he had caused a catastrophe, he naturally regretted it, but he had already staked his entire wealth into it, once this business was robbed, his fate could be imagined to be miserable, so he could only find Wendini to confess, and the two came to Bai Yi together.
After listening to this narrative, Bai Yi didn't care much about the copying of his work, but first asked Wentini, "In that case, did you bring this traitor to me because you wanted me to take his life for you?" To be honest, I still have students here, so it's not convenient for me to do this kind of thing! ”
The Count was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and actually lowered his head and began to cry.
"Their family and our family are family friends, they have been friends for several generations, and they have helped each other, so my father asked me to let him go in the face of his ancestors." Wentini said angrily.
"Is that so? I almost thought you had a crush on him. Bai Ye said a little funny.
"Who would look at this kind of waste that is not enough to achieve more than to fail?" Wendini puffed up and kicked the Earl on his knees, grunting him into the corner.
"What now?" Wentini, who had just used violent means, immediately changed into a pitiful little girl's demeanor, took the initiative to sit next to Bai Yi, took the initiative to get close to him, learned the coquettish way learned from Xiao Miya and them, shook Bai Yi's arm, and said: "Master Hope, you must help me this time, if this business is yellow, not only us, but also your share of the money will not be earned." ”
"Obviously they are all mature social people, why do you still learn to pretend to be tender as a little girl?" Bai Yi said angrily, "Let's take a look at the ban issued by the Mage Association first." ”
In principle, he shouldn't be in charge of the between these merchants, but the materials he used to make the magic circle have been bought, and even a batch of finished products have been made.
Wentini hurriedly took out a page from his arms, handed it to Bai Yi respectfully, and then continued to sit beside Bai Yi like a well-behaved little girl, watching him quietly read the ban on the paper.
The content of the ban is quite simple, the most crucial sentence is that this magic used to guide the glider in the direction of flight and extend its magic wings has been preemptively patented by the Mage Guild, and all other similar products are defined as illegal imitations and are prohibited from circulation and use. The rest describes the style and effects of the newly developed runes by the Mage Guild.
The guiding circle will be plagiarized by others, and Bai is also mentally prepared for this kind of thing, and he has prepared a strong backhand to prevent it; However, this shameless act of preemptively registering patents and issuing injunctions was beyond his expectations, and this mage association is also an authoritative organization, so it really didn't expect it to act so dirty.
After Bai Yi pondered for a while, he asked again: "There should be other forces behind this, have you checked it?" ”
The Mage Association is not short of money, let alone ways to make money, even if that trade route is very profitable, it should not be in their eyes, let alone do so, so Bai Yi pondered that there should be other forces involved in it.
"I've checked, and I can vaguely see the shadow of the Duke of the South here." Wentini said with some distress.
"Tsk? Such an imperial minister would take a fancy to these small businesses? Bai Yi asked a little funny.
"We didn't believe it at first, but after many searches and verifications yesterday, there were indeed the duke's hands and feet, but I don't know if he was personally involved." Wendini replied. It can be seen that the sudden entry of this duke is the main reason for her to be so distressed, their business is no longer done by the Dowler family, but a combination of merchants and nobles, the volume is not too small, and it is not the kind of soft persimmon that can be kneaded and rounded, but compared with this southern duke, I am afraid it is not enough.
The so-called Duke of the South, whose full name is Archduke Lynch, is the same as Archduke Enlight, who has just broken out of the family ethics tragedy, and is the founding father of the Vosa Empire, because its fief and sphere of influence are located in the south of the empire, and is also known as the Duke of the South. Now, because the Grand Duke of Enright is cursed and tortured, unable to participate in political affairs, and his sphere of influence has begun to shrink, this Grand Duke Lynch has a faint feeling of being the first powerful minister of the empire.
It's just that in Bai Yi's opinion, what kind of bullshit empire double wall? A psychopath who likes her husband's ex-offense; A traitorous villain who came to compete with the people for profit, can this still be called a double-walled villain? The lower limit of the double wall is about the same.
"It seems that I really have a relationship with the duke..."Bai Yi sighed in a low voice, and began to wonder whether to meddle in this matter, if he did, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble, and he himself hates this kind of intrigue between powers; But if you don't interfere, it seems a little inappropriate? Not only did his own interests suffer, but also Wentini.
He'd be more inclined to meddle himself, but this matter still needs to be discussed with the other Void Walkers.
"What's there to talk about? My students? How decisive were you in saving the Guf Plane in the first place? Has it been worn out by a peaceful life? Need I remind you again? You are the Fifth Walker of the Void, the Void's Agent, my personal disciple, and the next heir of the Ruther Empire! Are you going to bow down to a mere duke? The magician asked a little unhappily in the void, in the eyes of he, who was used to being an emperor, this kind of thing didn't need to be asked at all, just face it.
Come on, your empire is long gone... None of these names worked...
"I support your choice, and I agree with Your Excellency the Magician." The lord also echoed: "I hope Your Excellency, you are too indifferent to the fact of power, this is not necessarily a good thing, and it may not be beneficial to our follow-up plan to get out of trouble, you don't need to ask us about this matter, this is an excellent time for you to show your strength and majesty." ”
"Hehe, if it were me, I would solve all the problems with a perfect assassination." The assassin also supported Bai Yi's views from the side.
"If I were to judge, I probably wouldn't care about these troublesome things, would I? But I hope you want to do it, just do it, as long as you don't take the opportunity to kidnap beautiful girls again. The Assassin girl also said something that was in line with her cute setting.
"In the future, you have to save some money, I'm not the kind of person who can't make money." The warrior also said lightly.
Even scholars who have always been very mild-mannered said: "I think that money doesn't matter, the point is that this guidance circle and glider are the inventions of you and Your Excellency the Engineer, although they are just handy works, but this is also your thing, there is no reason to be snatched away by others for nothing, so I support you, I hope Your Excellency." ”
Speaking of which, there is no need to ask more, the lich and the demon do not need to ask to know their opinions, and in the end, on this matter, the Voidwalkers actually surprisingly agreed?
You know, in the past, when Bai Yi planned to meddle in this kind of troublesome matter between nobles, their opinions were often difficult to unify, but this time it was really rare, probably because it involved their own economic interests, right? All of a sudden, these Void Walkers have become incomparable?
Voidwalkers aren't such generous people.
Since the opinions are unprecedentedly unified, Bai Yi has nothing to hesitate about, and in reality, he also came back to his senses, and said to Count Hodder, who was shrinking in the corner and rubbing his waist: "Go to the big mansion on the left hand side outside, find the housekeeper over, and say that I have something to look for him." ”
Although now Vidnian has run away from home and has a posture of cutting off contact, but Grand Duke Enright himself does not seem to think so, although Vidnina's previous maid team has not come again, but those housekeepers and maids still live in the mansion next door and have not left, with a posture of always ready to serve the young lady, which is obviously from the duke's instructions, and he is still reluctant to give up this daughter.
"As for you, go upstairs in my study and get a few pages of stationery, I'll write a few letters." Bai Yi turned his head to Wentini again.
Bai Yi then thought about it, almost forgot the most important thing, and hurriedly called the big fox over and said, "Go and take Sonny into the yard and water my flowers for me." ”
