The Capetian family, including Fatima and many more of the old northern nobility, had a group of "thinkers" in the family, who were not given any formal titles, but some called them "elders". So there is such a thing as the Elders, in fact, all nobles will not admit that there is such an organization in their family, and anything that can influence and threaten the ruling power of the head of the family does not exist.

These people can be called the elders of the family, and they do have an obligation to provide their own wisdom, but it is impossible to form a group with rules and hierarchies.

This time, it was Solo's seventh uncle who proposed to cooperate with the Fatima family, and he believed that the "Odis effect" could be replicated and had a high success rate. People only saw the rapid rise of Otis City and the economic effect brought by Otis City, and subconsciously ignored that Otis City actually did not have any pillar industries at all. Whether it is a casino or other entertainment, there is no technical threshold.

There is no technical threshold, it is completely possible to replicate this set in the newly established special zone city, plus the people of the city hall can be replaced by the people they support or even their people, and the windfall profits brought by a commercial city like Otis are enough to make several families unable to survive. However, there are also some predictable problems with simple and crude copying.

Innovation issues, authority issues, policy issues.

Needless to say, the city of Otis was planned by Durin, and it is also foreseeable that some projects in the city of Otis will continue to be strengthened and updated before Dulin leaves the city of Otis. They don't have talent in this area, they need to be introduced and trained, it takes time, maybe they can surpass Doolin, maybe they will never find this person who can surpass Doolin. This meant that they would only be able to run behind Doolin's ass in the new district, so they had only two options.

Either find an urban designer who is better than Doolin, or get Doolin out of Otis.

The second question, the question of authority, is that the ruler of a city is naturally the mayor of the city hall, but the city they want should not be decided by an official who decides what they run, what they don't run, how much money they should pay each month, and what they should do. They need a character who can stand up as a leader, to use against the town hall. It doesn't matter if you can make the mayor their own, but no one can guarantee that they will be able to influence Mags's decision-making and leave him with important positions.

The last question is, what if Magus and the New Party leaders wanted to experiment with more new things in the new special zone and refused to copy the city of Otis directly? This is not impossible speculation, the city of Otis was a "testing ground" for Mags from the beginning, and he asked Doolin to try many things here, such as prohibiting the existence of any monopoly and buying and selling, prohibiting excessive interference of the workers' unions in the planning of the city hall, and many other things.

At the moment, the people who have come to Maggs are very good, and Durin is very capable and daring.

What if Mags they have a new idea, and the new special zone is not allowed to operate casinos, and those special goods are not allowed?

So this requires a leader to come forward and talk to Magus, to talk to the New Party, and the Fatimas are obviously the most suitable people to work with. The Holy Maiden with the flame has not yet taken a back seat, her influence among the nobles is definitely one of the best, and Magus herself is also one of the great nobles of the Northlands, and has a deep friendship with the Fatimid family, so it is not guaranteed that Her Excellency the Holy Maiden will be able to convince Mags to make him waver.

For these reasons, the elder Capet family owner chose to let Solo come to the initial contact, and if there was no excessive disagreement between the two sides, they could start a full cooperation.

Solo and Felica talk a lot, almost all of them are him, Felica is listening. It wasn't until he was a little thirsty that he remembered to ask Ernest to get him some water, "Therefore, on behalf of myself and the head of the family, I would like to ask for your cooperation with His Excellency Fatima, which is very beneficial to both of us. Everything that comes with the profits and effects of Otis City will make some changes to the dead North, and although I don't want to admit it, we are already behind the South in some ways. Now, this is a very good opportunity to bring us back to the leadership in some areas, and I ask you to convey my comments to His Excellency Fatima. ”

Her Excellency is actually in this manor, which occupies the largest area in the entire empire, and is the largest in this manor except for the royal buildings. There are a total of nine buildings in front of and behind, covering a vast area, and it is as large as the royal palace!

His Excellency Fatima lived in the rearmost and most luxurious building, which was once the residence of Prince Komoz.

However, Solo is not qualified to meet Fatima, his status is too humble, although he is also one of the nobles of the Northlands, he has not been recognized as the heir of the next generation of the Capetian family, and second, he does not have any title, so he does not even have the right to meet the duke, unless he can represent the entire Capetian family and has a token given to him by the head of the Capetian family.

The social interaction of the aristocracy was so complex, and the strict class system and rules were the most powerful way for the aristocracy to consolidate their dominance.

Feliga nodded, "I see, I will convey your thoughts and those of Lord Capet to Grandmother, and Grandmother will be very happy." By the way, Mr. Solo, have you ever been to Otis for yourself?"

Even if Solo was reluctant, he nodded without changing his face, and Feliga asked again, "Is it fun there, have you talked to Dorin, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Faced with Felica's curiosity, Solo could only praise Durin against his will, "He is a very good young man, at least among the young people I have seen, there are only a few people as honorable as you who can surpass him, he can be regarded as the pinnacle of the common people!"

"As for the city of Otis...... I didn't stop by last time I was going to work, but I heard that a lot of things were interesting there. ”

If Dulin is the best in the Empire, then he may be second, thinking about it, there is nothing to praise and praise Dorin.

Then Solo got up and took his leave, the purpose of his trip had been accomplished, and he did his best to analyze the advantages and benefits of the cooperation between the Capetian family and the Fatima family, and he did his best, as for how His Excellency chose in the end, it was not up to him to influence.

After Solo left, Felica went back to the house and met the Holy Maiden, who was dressed as before and sat on a chair made of steel, without any cushioning, and the whole chair was black. She also had white-blond hair and wore an iron crown, an honor bestowed upon her by the Emperor for her service to the defense of the Empire's northern borders.

When Feliga came in, Her Excellency the Holy Maiden still had her eyes closed, and when she entered, Her Excellency the Holy Maiden slowly opened her eyes, and the whole room seemed to be swept by the cold light of a sharp sword, and several subordinates lowered their heads, and a layer of goosebumps had been raised on their bare skin in the air.

Her Excellency has suppressed a total of seven rebellions in her life, and there is an organization called Scarlet Dawn that constantly assassinates nobles in the north, shouting the slogan "Blood opens the curtain of dawn, fight for freedom" and constantly inciting slaves and untouchables to revolt and rebel, and every time a nobleman is assassinated, there must be a rebellion in the place of the nobles. The most serious of these was the assassination of two marquises, and the whole county was in turmoil, with more than 30,000 people participating in the rebellion.

They robbed and killed nobles, plundered the wealth of merchants, and then armed themselves with looted weapons and attempted to expand outward. But no matter how great the rebellion was, it was eventually suppressed by Her Excellency the Holy Maiden herself, a duchess in military uniform on a war horse, a duchess who constantly killed in order to stabilize the imperial power.

A pastor once saw her and fell to the ground in fright. He told people that His Excellency the Holy Maiden of Fatima had hell in his eyes, and he saw countless souls howling in the hell in her eyes!

"What's the matter with the Capetian kid?", with her identity, status and seniority, calling Solo a kid can be said to be a face, at least she knows and remembers this person.

Felica walked to the side of the Holy Maiden with the corner of her skirt and conveyed what Solo said word for word, and the Holy Maiden sneered and closed her eyes.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that he sounds so good, so go to Otis City, see for yourself how Otis City has changed, and then come back and tell me what you've seen!", she waved her hand, "Go ahead!"

Feliga saluted and retreated to the door and turned to leave the room, the moment she left the room, she breathed a sigh of relief, although her grandmother was old, but the momentum on her body did not decay at all, but became more and more fearful!

It's also a good thing to be able to go out for a walk, Felica has actually been moved by Solo's words, the city of Otis is not far from the north, located in the heart of the empire, one hundred and seventy-one kilometers south of the imperial capital. With a slight shake of your hand while making a map, you can include the city of Otis in the north, which means that many things in the city of Otis can also work in the north.

The huge difference between the north and the south has made the efforts of some people have not been successful in the end, and the economic and cultural difficulties from the south are difficult to integrate into the local area, and perhaps something new can be found from the city of Otis.
