"Our situation in Daris is getting better and better, we have annihilated the last disobedient tribal force in Half Moon Province last month, and the development of several mineral deposits in Half Moon Province has been put on the ......agenda," said the middle-aged man with a wine glass, surrounded by several peers, who were saying something that Durin was completely unaware of.

Even if he only heard this sentence from passing by, it was enough to make Durin realize that the empire, and indeed the whole world, was finally about to open some kind of door to him.

Maggs noticed Doolin's expression, and as the two walked forward, Maggs said, "In that incident...... You know what, some of the nobles have transferred their property and power abroad, and except for a very few poor people who are not pitied by Lady Luck, everyone else is mixed well!"

Mags forced His Majesty the Emperor to relinquish the power in his hands, and some nobles firmly stood on the side of the royal family, which is now the old party. There was also a group of people who followed the emerging Magus, and these people were now the New Party. But in addition to the new party and the old party, there are actually some nobles who have not made a choice, and they are not grass on the wall, and they chose to leave the empire early in the face of a dilemma.

A change of power often means a terrible war, and these nobles are unwilling to let the centuries-old family work be ruined by a few people, and of course there are good reasons for their departure.

Neither supporting the royal family nor Magus, they chose to avoid it.

In the process of moving overseas, it is inevitable to encounter some unfriendly places, and the natives of many places are jealous of the wealth held by these nobles, and wars break out.

It's just that these natives don't know that even if these nobles leave the empire, there is still the empire behind them to support them.

Whether it is material supplies or guns and ammunition, as long as they can get the money, the cabinet will approve it for them to "expand their territory".

The place where the nobles went the most was the southern continent, which was vast and sparsely populated, and there were many small islands, and most of the forces existed in the form of tribes, which avoided the outbreak of large-scale full-scale wars, and was conducive to the nobles to occupy the local area and develop resources smoothly and continuously.

After more than 20 years and almost 30 years of "development", these aristocrats have brought the "fire of civilization" to the local backward indigenous tribes, and made many still very backward civilizations feel the light and heat from advanced civilizations.

It is said that the largest slave organization in the world was organized by some nobles from the Empire. Of course, this is definitely a slander against the empire, a slander against Chiguoguo, how could an empire that has nurtured thousands of years of brilliant civilization do such inhumane things?

In addition to the slander of human trafficking, the overseas aristocracy mostly deals in ores and luxury materials, such as the teeth or feathers of certain animals. There is an organization that claims that over seventy-six species of creatures have gone extinct in the past thirty years due to overkill, and that most of the material has ended up being sold to the Empire and the Federation, which are also responsible for these extinct creatures.

The empire is not in a hurry to deny such accusations, after all, there is also a federal companion, isn't it?

"Some of these people have returned to live in the Empire, but some are still living outside, don't offend them, don't be too accommodating to them. Maggs finally mentioned Doolin, but he didn't say it thoroughly, because he felt that Doolin should be able to understand it.

As the empire grew stronger, it was only natural that it would become more attractive to the nobles who had been transferred out in the early years. Even if they run those poor places as if they were the imperial capital, they can't change the fact that they are the countryside in the ditch. Only by returning to the Empire, to the nobility, will they be able to attain true peace.

It's just that these people, especially the new generation, are used to using killing as a way of negotiation outside, and they are not very suitable for a civilization like the empire, and it is inevitable that some contradictions will arise. In all the conflicts that have occurred in the past, the cabinet has always been on the side of the empire, after all, these nobles can no longer be regarded as real imperial nobles, at most they are only indigenous nobles.

This engagement ceremony attracted many people, in addition to these nobles who had migrated overseas that Durin had not known before, there were also some nobles who were very low-key on weekdays, looking around the entire venue, nobles could be seen everywhere, Durin had never seen so many nobles!

In addition to the aristocracy, there are also many real "new aristocrats", in layman's terms, big capitalists.

Immediately after being released from the cage, capital has become an irrepressible expansion into a twisted monster, and at some point even politics must make concessions to capital, which has also made these successful capitalists the group that has benefited the most in this new era, and on the basis of money, they also enjoy a lot of power that money may not necessarily obtain.

Like ...... As soon as Durin was about to see if he had any acquaintances of his own, he saw a playboy with a young girl in his arms waving at him, and there was no doubt that there would be no one else but Henry who could make such a move.

Magus also saw Henry and chuckled, "Your friend is greeting you, aren't you going to respond to him?"

Durin knew that this was Maggs quietly mocking him, and he replied quietly, "Okay, Uncle Mags!"

No matter what expression the old man had on his face, Durin walked towards Henry, he didn't expect Henry to come, in fact, not only Henry came, but his father also came.

After all, this is the marriage of the top wealthy families of the Empire, and as the steel tycoon of the Empire, Mr. Knight will definitely appear on the scene. If he hadn't been there, the next day there would have been a deliberate push for ridiculous rumors like "Shocking! The truth about the disagreement between the steel tycoon and the upper echelons of the empire!" could have been spread the next day, and there would have been a bunch of fools who would take these rumors seriously.

"Mr. Knight......", Durin is Henry's friend, then Nate is his elder, he should naturally greet first, and at the same time stretched out his hand.

Knight didn't dare to snub Durin, shook hands with him quickly, and also showed an approachable attitude, it seems that everyone here is very approachable, but only here, only today.

"Thanks to you taking care of him in the west, I didn't let him get into any trouble, I often say I want to meet you, but this guy always forgets about it. Nate let go of his hand and expressed his kindness to Durin very kindly, seemingly forgetting that there was a time when Henry lent the manor to Durin and caused him to lash out.

Durin glanced at Henry, and the little girl she was holding, although he knew very well that a family like the Iron Tycoon would inevitably abide by certain rules, and knew that this reality was cruel, but when it happened in front of his eyes, Durin was still a little embarrassed.

Henry's original wife is the eldest daughter of John of the George family of the newspaper trust, in the eyes of many people, this must be a happy couple, two families with little difference in marriage, representing the interests of the two families together The young couple will spend their lives very happily. However, the George family is in the middle of the road, and Henry did not bring his original wife to appear on such an important occasion today, which means that he is very likely to have divorced the eldest daughter of the George family, otherwise he would never dare to bring a lover to appear on such a formal occasion.

However, this kind of thing is also normal, after all, the George family has completely declined, and only Nasha is left as a direct heir, still attached to his wing.

Henry's divorce from his wife is actually the best ending, at least the woman can get a lot of money to spend the rest of her life, instead of dying in the hospital due to some kind of illness in a certain period of time.

Durin gathered his thoughts and leaned forward slightly to maintain his etiquette when facing his elders, which also made Knight very comfortable, "Henry is a very reliable friend, I have seen such good qualities as loyalty and honesty in him, and it is also my honor to be friends with Henry." ”

"Actually, I was supposed to visit you, Mr. Knight, but you may have noticed some news about me, and I've been so busy in the past few years that I've neglected it, so I'm sorry. ”

Knight waved his hand, "Hey...... It would be too strange for us to say this, but as long as you are interested, you can come to your house whenever and wherever you want, and I warmly welcome you on behalf of all the members of the family", he raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses before Durin went to entertain the others.

Looking at Durin's back, Knight shook his head while laughing, people really can't be compared, a self-made kid can get to this point, all about luck is jealousy, the key is his personal ability. Glancing back at Henry, he snorted twice, it's better not to compare, it's easy to get angry if it's more.

As if sensing some subtle changes in Mr. Knight's mood, Henry stopped communicating with his girlfriend and looked at Mr. Knight, "Maybe I'm not as good as you need, but I'm at least honest and loyal, this is my shining point, you can't ignore my good points just because you don't like me." ”

Nate looked at Henry, Henry was also a little stubborn to meet Knight's gaze, after a while Nate lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, and after a while, the smell of wine poured out of his mouth with a voice, "Have you ever heard of someone who describes a merchant with the words honest and loyal?", after speaking, he left here without looking back, and went to socialize with the others, leaving only Henry, who was meditating, standing in place.

"Why does that sound so harsh?!", he thought.
