Chapter 114: Fair Dealing
Duke Polk's first impression of Qi Han was that he was a somewhat elegant soldier, perhaps because of the characteristics of the blood clan, each blood clan did not have strong and strong muscles, and the weak white was close to transparent and mixed with gray complexion, which made the blood clan look a little sickly, and carefully examined Duke Polk's eyebrows and eyes, so it seems that Rosen's appearance inherited his father.

Duke Polk made a gesture of please, and the large center of the room began to assemble into a round table that was just large enough for five people to sit around, and then five chairs that looked comfortable and soft also stood on the ground.
The beautiful lady dressed as a housekeeper served delicate and beautiful refreshments to several people, and the tea set was carved from seven-colored crystals, accompanied by mellow black tea, which could indeed pray for the effect of relieving emotions.
After the beautiful lady butler left, Duke Polk placed a small terminal on the table. Fingers tapped rhythmically twice on the table. An image is emitted from the terminal.
The image is divided into three segments.
One is a dimly lit dungeon, in which countless prisoners are held, one by one, crowded with cages, but as quiet as death, no one speaks, and the face is covered with blood, facing the prisoner in front of the camera, from the blurred footage, you can also see that the person's eye socket is black. Apparently this is a very secret video, and the recording is not very clear.
The second section is Lin Ancheng, after nightfall, a large number of black-clothed people poured out from the corners of the city, sneaked into the homes of some people in Lin Ancheng, and after a while, they shallow out of the households.
The third stage of influence is the aboriginal riot in Lin Ancheng, I don't know how many aborigines, flocked to the main road of Lin Ancheng, carrying many coffins, marching in the streets, wanting to ask for an explanation from the immigrants for their dead family members, and even more radical people even demanded their lives to pay for their lives and blood debts. Banners denouncing the settlers were held high, and there were also aborigines piloting flying planes, pulling banners under the aircraft, bloody palm prints, skeletons, bloody footprints, red crosses, and other elements throughout the procession.
When the video was played, there was silence in the room......
"Duke Polk, may I ask what is?" Yao Wuling spoke first.
Duke Polk picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, "Let's start with the second video, those men in black are members of a group of aboriginal killer mercenaries, as long as their employer needs it, no matter who they are, they will go on a mission after receiving payment, and that night, their task is to kill people indiscriminately, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman." As long as you kill enough 444 people and pretend to be an immigrant, you will complete the mission. In the first part of the video, the men in black officially carried out the mission, and after the mission was completed, they were cut out of their tongues, their eyes gouged out, and imprisoned in the royal dungeon. In the third video, I don't need to say more, those are the aborigines of the Lin Ancheng riot. ”
"Blame the immigrants? Who is it? Why? Yin Miao'er said indignantly. She shuddered at the thought of the people in the image who had their eyes gouged out and were locked up in a dark dungeon.
"They're not going to blame the immigrants, they're going to blame us the Hocktons, and that's just the beginning." Duke Polk looked at the young immigrants opposite, sighed lightly, but kept the same gentlemanly smile on his face, "Those people want to catch the anger of the people and push the Hawkton family to the cusp, because the next day, someone reported that it was the Hawkton family who colluded with the immigrants to do all this." ”
"Why do you still have to involve us immigrants in the struggle of your royal family?" Hearing this, Yin Miao'er took the tea and drank it all, Yin Miao'er, who didn't like black tea very much, stuck out her tongue, "Dad Lawson, can you replace it with coffee for me?" ”
Polk beckoned the beautiful housekeeper to replace the coffee for Yin Miao'er.
"Because among you immigrants, there are half-bloods, even if you don't take this incident to suppress our Hawkton family, the half-bloods will also be targeted by the one in the palace. It's just a two-pronged approach. Polk replied to Yin Miao'er's question.
"Now Lin Ancheng is full of storms, and word of mouth is that the Hockton family and the immigrants are going to rebel." Rosen said.
"Duke Polk, since the queen has made so many small moves in the palace, doesn't the king care?" Qi Han asked out loud.
"Yes, yes, is the king just an ornament? He let the queen do whatever she wanted? Yin Miao'er was also busy echoing.
"O king! Hehe! Duke Polk, with his head down, watched his fingers rub his fingers on the handle of the delicate teacup, "This is a royal secret, and I want to talk to you about it." As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Qi Han, who was a little distracted, as if he was looking at another person, and as if he was looking at Qi Han.
"About thirty years ago, the king fell into a long sleep. This is a characteristic of the higher blood clans, which will sleep every once in a while, at least for decades, and at most for hundreds of years. The Hawkton family has guarded Gaia for generations, including the king's resting place. ”
"Don't tell us that the king's resting place doesn't even know the queen!" Yin Miao'er is straightforward and fast-talking, and she has the most problems among several people.
"The nobles sleep elsewhere." Polk said.
"You Gaia's king, so newcomer to your Hawkton family? Aren't you afraid you'll kill him while he's sleeping? ”
"Of course not, our House of Hockton has the blood seal of the king."
"What is a blood mark?"
"The king's blood seal is the contract, the king is in the Hockton family, and the king is in the Hockton family."
Let's get straight to the point. Duke Polk came to us, presumably there is a plan, what do you need us to do? Qi Han saw that Yin Miao'er and Polk were talking farther and farther away, so he quickly pulled the topic back.
"This ......" Duke Polk was a little embarrassed, slightly embarrassed by this and that, squeaky for a long time without saying why.
Lawson was anxious, "Let me tell you, father!" Rosen asked Polk for instructions, and Polk nodded in agreement.
"We are ready to evacuate Lin Ancheng and leave this place of right and wrong first. At present, the Anpuda family is supported and controls the army of Lin Ancheng, and the people who have been unable to make a career in the Anpuda family have also been promoted. This is no longer the case. The people of the Ampuda family mainly suppress our forces, and many of them have already suffered. Before the Imperial Army is explicitly disbanded, we must first make countermeasures. ”
"And where are you going to retreat? What is your response? Yao Wuling grew up in the family struggle, but he didn't know how this royal struggle was different from the family struggle, he was very curious.
"We want to disband a part of the Imperial Army first and quietly move into Huadu. Huadu is far away from Lin'an City, the environment and climate are suitable for survival, the economy is developed, the most critical point, Huadu is rainy, not conducive to air raids, once the war is launched, it can only be carried out from the ground, there is a valley and dense forest in Huadu, I have been to see, it is the best place to hide soldiers. Rosen deliberately accentuated the valley forest as he spoke.
As smart as Yao Wuling, he immediately heard the meaning of Rosen's painting, that Huadu Dense Forest is the territory of the Lingyun Mercenary Guild, and if he really wants to use it as a den to harbor the imperial troops, he must greet the master. Whether or not the Hawkton father and son rebelled had nothing to do with them, it was not his concern.
"How many people are you going to move in, and how long will it take? The most important point is that this is the second floating city of the Lingyun Mercenary Guild, and you have also seen the floating city. ”
"Don't worry, it won't affect the development of the Mercenary Guild, you also know that our Hawkton family's financial resources are still very strong, and our cooperation between the two sides is beneficial and harmless. Now the immigrants are under the care of the Holy High Priest, and even if the palace wants to investigate, they will not dare to act blatantly. We, we just have to wait until the king wakes up. Rosen said.
"Okay, you have to use local affairs to tell us as soon as possible, and today's talks are successfully concluded." Yin Miao'er said and was about to get up.
Her attitude made Hockton's father and son a little embarrassed, and many of the words they had originally thought of were useless, and the meeting, which she had thought would last at least half a day, ended in a few words.
"Oh! He's got something to do! Yin Miao'er pointed at Qi Han and explained the doubts of the puzzled Hawkton father and son.
"Yes, I'm going to visit the Magister Kite again! There is a magical skill to learn. Qi Han nodded politely to Duke Polk.
"I forgot to tell you, you'd better not go to the Flower Kite Magister, she's been placed under house arrest for recommending you to become a Magister. What magic are you going to learn? In the United Empire, there are also alchemists and magisters, although not as powerful as the Magister Guild, basic magic can still be taught. As soon as Luo Sen heard that Qi Han was going to find the flower kite, he stood up anxiously, he was really afraid that Qi Han would go to find the flower kite, and then let the woman's minions be buckled, so that the flower kite not only recommended Luo Shuihan, but also recommended Jane, so the city defenders just put her under house arrest.
"Why did you say such an important thing!" Yin Miao'er shouted.
Luo Shuihan didn't say that he came to Lin An this time to find the Flower Kite Demon Master! That's what I just knew! ”
"Flower kites are not in danger." Qi said coldly, "Then ask Lawson to help me introduce the magic master of the Imperial Army." ”
"It's all trivial, let him leave tomorrow to find you in the Floating City." Rosen smiled.
"No need, let's go directly to the Huadu Jungle." Yao Wuling spoke. The construction plan of the Huadu Jungle is to be carried out in the next month of the game time, and this thing will be brought forward as soon as it comes out, but the Hawkton family provides financial support and provides a safe place for their people, which is a fair deal.
"By the way, let me ask you another question, can you move in with the Magister, Alchemist, or Gear Forging person first?" Yao Wuling continued.
"That's fine, can you tell me why?" Duke Polk smiled and looked at the blood clan Yao Wuling in front of him, among the three, only Yao Wuling was a blood clan, so he had a little more racial closeness.
"Although the Hawkton family has sufficient financial resources, since they choose to hide, they have no financial resources on the surface, and sooner or later the treasury will be exhausted, in this case, the Lingyun Mercenary Guild can't rely on an empty mountain, I want to use your people to support yourself, and make a little money by the way."
"In that case, of course it's fine." Polk looked at Yao Wuling and nodded appreciatively.
"A month later, you will move directly into the Huadu Jungle, and this month our Lingyun Mercenary Guild will build there. As you know, we only bought the ownership of the place, and we haven't built it yet, and Rosen is still walking with us, so I can contact you or the Imperial Military Department if there is anything. ”
