"These books were purchased by my father from markets, black markets, and individuals all over Miracaesa, whether it was epics, magical research notes, autobiographies of great people, novels, and materials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just that most of the books in it are a little pitted......" Kanina, who was holding her brother Wesk, walked into the huge study with a smile, turned around, and said to the two of them.

"Some pits?" Hearing Kanina's words, Eluya asked with some confusion.

"Because some of the books are too old, and the arguments on them are all arguments that have been eliminated, so it doesn't help to read them, and we are not researchers, so we can't use those things." Amelia, who was holding little Alex, explained to Elua.

With that, Elua and Muka nodded, and together with Kanina and Amelia, they entered the library-sized study.

At this moment, in addition to the four of them and two babies in the study, the children of Lu Ming's grandchildren such as Lisa were also here, and Jack, Bajieton, Princess Ella and others were also in the corner of the room, holding a few of Lu Ming's own research notes on miracles, spells, and magic and some experiences to record.

After saying hello to the others, Muka, who somehow became his uncle and grandfather, took his girlfriend to pick up two or three books from the bookshelf casually, sat on the sofa, and read them carefully.

However, neither Muka nor Eluya thought that the book they were reading today would have a great impact on them!

The book that Muka was reading was the [Noble Strategy] that Lu Ming brought back from the imperial capital, while the book that Eluka was reading was a masterpiece called [Gangqi and Magic].

[Noble Strategy], as the name suggests, is to teach the nobles the art of scheming that has been passed down since ancient times, which can make it easier for the lord to control his territory. It's just that it's not easy to implement. Because it is very clear in this book that killing and torture are not a long-term way to control the territory, judging the situation, making your territory grow as soon as possible, and then controlling people's hearts is the right way. But this kind of difficulty is not something that a child who is only nine years old a day away from and has never learned how to manage the territory before can learn it all at once.

But from this book, he got an inspiration, an inspiration on how to take back control of his territory from the hands of his family.

Unlike themselves, who were able to keep up with the progress of Erepos, the old guys in the family were a beat slower than the lords of the other viscountdoms in whatever they did. Under their control, although their own territories are rich, they are far less developed than some territories that are not as rich as their own territories. Every time I went to Agamemnon for a meeting, I would be ridiculed by those poor lords.

So after being inspired by this book, he had the idea to regain his own power and develop the viscount of Hector into the third most advanced region in the true sense of the word!

Besides, those old guys are really too much of a way. Every time he makes a decision, whether it's right or wrong, those old guys will escape and oppose it, even if the consultants arranged by my sister and brother-in-law say something good, as long as it is proposed by myself, those old guys will also oppose it!

Now that I think about it, the reason why they oppose it is not that there is anything wrong with those policies at all, but that once they agree to the decisions they propose, their own power will be curtailed. It's not good, those guys will assassinate themselves because of power. Moreover, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Errepos. There was a time half a year ago when a baron's family was full of clan elders who were dissatisfied with the power in the hands of the baron and assassinated the baron.

Although the result of that incident was that the barony became someone else's territory, since there was such a thing, then why didn't he guard against both?

After much deliberation, Muka invited one of Lisa's children to be his bodyguard. In this way, on the one hand, it can paralyze those people and make them think that the child is here to play, and on the other hand, because these children are their own family relatives, and there is a fundamental difference between those who have passed many generations and are hardly old people in the same family. At the very least, the children's focus will still be on Odysseus's side, not Hector's.

In this way, the third oldest ten-year-old boy, Kurakdes Lu, the third son of Lu Ming's eldest son, Wesk Lu, came forward to agree to Muka's request, and through the hints of Sham and Lily, he also got the command of the three knights in Lu Ming's personal guard. It's just because those old guys are not satisfied with the Hector Collar and want to stretch their claws towards Lu Ming's Odysseus Collar. This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Sham, Lily, and Finner, and the reason why they didn't do it was just because they didn't want to tear their faces.

And now...... It's different.

As for Elua, there wasn't as much as Muka thought.

In the book she read, it was written about the experience of a powerful man with a name and surname in ancient times.

The most powerful thing about this strong man is not anything else, but while he cultivated to the dragon blood brave, he was promoted to the spirit of magic.

It's scary. You must know that although the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is not uncommon in Mirakaisa, all of them are one main and one auxiliary, and it is not said that both powers have been cultivated to the highest!

Therefore, the person who does this is either a genius who shakes the past and the present, or a person who is favored by the gods. Their experience is rare and valuable for anyone!

Next to the book, there are two reading notes written by Lu Ming and Sham, many of which are based on the contents of the book and their own ideas, and the theories generated by them are very useful for Elua!

This made her involuntarily come up with the idea of making herself stronger, so as to kill all those competitors and inherit the Siegfried Collar.

Her strength, combined with Mka's scheming, allowed the two viscounties to develop rapidly, allowing them to realize their ambitions even greater.

It can be said that these books are the forbidden fruit that allows them to breed ambition, and they are also the ladder that allows them to soar. The difference is whether they can control their ambitions.

Just like Lu Ming, he also has ambitions in his heart, but whether it is successful or not, ambition has nothing to do with it. It is impossible to succeed without ambition and ability. But when it has the ability to cooperate, ambition is no longer ambition, but ambition!

The difference is the difference between the winners and the losers.

-----------------------------------

As time passed, the time came to the last day of December in Miracaisa.

At this moment, the whole Odyssey City is enjoying the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, and many people choose to stay at home with their families, waiting for the arrival of the new year.

And Finner and Mena, who were far away in the imperial capital, had no way to go back to Odysseus to reunite with their families, and they could only spend the New Year with little Albert in the mansion.

However, the two of them did not forget about Lu Ming and the others, and sent some things back to Odyssey City in advance as New Year's gifts for Lu Ming and the other sisters. Of course, the children, they didn't forget either.

Sitting in the study, Lu Ming took a letter sent back by the two of Filner, thinking about the two of them and their youngest son Albert.

On the desk, there is a rough gemstone that has not yet been polished, which is said to be a New Year's gift for him. Although this is not the final product, it also makes Lu Ming very happy.

The New Year's gift he will receive is a gift that all his wives will fund and prepare together. Filner and Mena sent back only a portion of the raw materials, and it was unknown what kind of gifts they would receive in the end. But at the very least, a gift full of love.

Just as he looked at the words of love and about his youngest son, Albert, one of his guards came in and reported to him: "Your Excellency, the Grand Duke and his fiancée, as well as the Archbishop of Emplo of the Church of Light, the Count of Lothric of Agamemnon, and the relatives of several of the ladies. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ming had no choice but to put away his beloved wife's letters, and went to the living room to see the Grand Duke and others.

Because of the New Year, Archduke Ferram and the others have returned to their own principality, so the Grand Duke of Raels, who feels that his Grand Duke's mansion is a little lifeless, and Archbishop Losric and Emplo, who have no family in Erepos, came directly to the Odyssey City to celebrate the New Year. At the very least, there are more people and a little more lively. For this reason, they brought all the servants and stewards of the mansion who had not returned home. It makes the living room very lively now.

Pushing open the door, Lu Ming first saluted the Grand Duke according to etiquette, and then greeted the parents of his wives, and finally was surrounded by a large group of children.

After a series of activities to give candy and money to Poke Balls, Lu Ming finally sat down on the sofa and took a breath.

And the Grand Duke of Raels looked at him with a playful face, so that he couldn't help but say: "After you get married, it will be the same!" Moreover, the number of the Ammon family is much larger than mine! ”

Hearing Lu Ming's angry words, Grand Duke Raels smiled slightly and said, "But at least for now, I'm still a person who can watch the fun!" ”

"......" As soon as he heard this, what else could Lu Ming say? He could only silently point to the back of Archduke Raels. Then I started watching a family farce.

After a while, Lu Ming took his eldest son Wesker, eldest daughter Emma, and youngest daughter Alex from Kanina and Amelia, and put them on the sofa where he was sitting, and let them sit on the sofa where he was, laughing while chatting with Archduke Raels and Count Losric.

"Now that the Siegfried Collar is in a mess, if you don't plan to make a move, I can only take matters into my own hands and solve the Siegfried Collar's affairs."

"Ziegfried's affairs, you can take care of it. But in any case, Siegfried is the viscounty of Musberheim, and if you interfere in the affairs of that side without permission, will Brooke allow it? ”

"I have dealt with Brooke's letter, and although he is still very polite in his letter, he has no objection to it. In addition, he is now purging his Earl's Palace, because he has found that there are also Evennes' people in the Earl's Palace. ”

"It seems that he has changed from an unsuccessful stinky boy at the beginning to a qualified nobleman! At the very least, I know how to remove the danger around me. ”

Speaking of this, Lothric took out a small notebook from the inside pocket of his clothes, flipped through it, and said to Lu Ming and Grand Duke Raels: "Because Odysseus led the purge of the Evil Spirit Church, the entire Erepos is now carrying out various purge actions against the Evil Spirit Church. Most of the people of the Evil Spirit Church now do not dare to approach Errebos anymore and flee to other principalities. But according to our investigation, in the Duchy of Yaru, there is a beast-eared woman named Falsels, who is collecting people who have fled to the evil spirit church in Yalu, and is transforming their bodies somewhere in the Duchy of Yaru, combining them with some battle puppets, preparing to stage a coup d'état and control the Duchy of Yalu in her own hands. Moreover, these people and the Alpha Empire are also a little unclear, and it is possible that they will defect to the elves in time of war! ”

"Because it's in the Principality of Yalu, we can't interfere, can we only be careful of them? Ah~It's really unpleasant~! Hearing Lo Slick's words, Archduke Raels lay down on the sofa and said helplessly.

And Lu Ming, who was coaxing the child on the side, said: "It's not easy to say about the situation of the Yalu Principality now, if the Yalu Principality is really taken away by these people from the Evil Spirit Church." It's likely that we, Tartarus, and Amp will have to fight the Duchy of Yaru first, and then go to war with the Elves! ”

"yes!" Loslick nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Grand Duke Raels thought of a solution, and immediately said to Lu Ming and Lothric: "You say, how about we use shadow creatures to enter the shadow world, and exterminate those evil spirit churches from here?" Ferram and I have secretly trained an army of small but all swordsmen, and they should be able to accomplish this task! ”

But as soon as Archduke Raels finished speaking, Count Lothric, who was an advisor, couldn't help but glance at Archduke Raels and said, "You and Archduke Ferram did this without me and Count Winsland and spending more than 10,000 gold coins?" ”

"Forehead ......"

"More than 10,000 pieces, enough to recruit an army of about 7,000 people. If it is an elite army, so many gold coins, it can almost train 3,000 people. These 3,000 people, combined with the shadow creatures, can basically fight those people of the Evil Spirit Church, and they can't use the shulker technique. As long as the people of the Principality of Yalu pay attention to the threat posed to the Principality by those of the Evil Church of the Evil Spirits, they can almost defeat these people before the people of the Evil Church carry out a coup d'état! After carefully calculating, Lu Ming gave his opinion on the Grand Duke's proposal: "So, I think the Grand Duke's idea is feasible!" ”

Hearing this, Lo Slick no longer bothered about the Grand Duke not telling him about this advisor before spending money indiscriminately. Instead, he began to hold a pen, write and draw in a notebook, and also pulled Lu Ming's father-in-law, Count Vlad, together to improve the plan to eliminate the people of the evil spirit church in the Principality of Yalu.

Soon Archbishop Emplo and the old Viscount Ozmoz also joined in, which made Lu Ming's mother-in-law a little unhappy, after all, it was a little strange to plan these things for the New Year. However, she didn't bother them in the end, on the one hand, because they were nobles and had to think about these things and prepare for next year's war, and on the other hand, because of Lu Ming's persuasion and the smiling faces of the three cute children, there was no need to go to those guys to talk about those things that made people unhappy.

Although, his little grandson is not here...... (To be continued.) )
