Chapter 1016: Viscount Gwill and his family
"To Sir Gwell......
Viscount Gwill's eyes swept over the opening line of the letterhead, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
The Magic Emperor, Maggie Isser, had sent him a letter, but before he could open it, he knew what it was about.
There was a sense of elegance between the lines of the letter, and the lingua franca of the floral body looked pleasing to the eye, and if it weren't for the content of the letter that made him sneer, he might have really collected it.
The words are elegant and beautifully written, even to give him a lifetime of time, and Viscount Gwilly does not think that he can have such literacy.
But what is the use of literacy? Can it be exchanged for money?
Sorry then, he doesn't need these things, and if he were to have the 'aristocratic reserve', then he would now be able to watch those fools continue to plunder the wealth of others, and he could do nothing himself.
This is going to kill him - if he can't continue to use the elves to plunder the riches, he might as well die!
The ability to gain a good reputation and the benefits of the riches that he received from the fools and the wealth from the trade with the elves would double his worth.
He used to be just an insignificant little person, but now, he has become a respected 'man of insight'.
Now those stupid elves are probably still very grateful for his help, if it weren't for him to take the lead, how could those stupid long ears take revenge on the nobles of the empire?
Seeing the end of the letterhead, Viscount Gwilly tore the letterhead to shreds, a contemptuous smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my majesty, forgive me for not honoring your wishes, for I am not your vassal......" Looking at the scrap of paper on the table, Viscount Gervais couldn't help but say this in a dramatic tone, and then burst out laughing.
Every inch of skin on his face was filled with a smile, and excitement spilled out of the corners of his eyes.
He did it, he did it all!
If it was in the past, he naturally wouldn't dare to go against His Majesty's wishes, after all, he was just a small person, a small nobleman who could be seen everywhere in the Kurkut Empire, compared to other nobles, his family was poor, the geographical location was not very good, and there were no special products in the territory, the only commendable thing was that there were many mountains in the territory, maybe when he would be able to discover a vein of rare minerals?
Although his ancestors had entrusted the desire to 'discover the vein' to their children since 200 years ago, and it was passed down from generation to generation, no trace of the vein was found until his generation.
Now he no longer has to hope that a vein of rare minerals will be found in his territory to turn over, because he has become a well-known 'representative of the noble spirit' by his own efforts.
He 'repented' and found that the world contained too much pain, and wanted to do everything in his power to change the world, and the first step in changing the world was to free their elven allies!
Their elven allies suffered, deprived of their freedom, imprisoned in one dark and desperate cage after another.
There, their dignity was trampled on, their bodies were humiliated, this kind of thing was intolerable to him, he had to judge all these evil deeds, he had to go and save the elven allies!
Of course, this is just a talk, in order to show his 'remorse', he also exempted the people from taxes for three years, the purpose is to show his sincerity.
From that time on, no matter how much he oppressed them in the first place, those foolish mud-legged people began to shout their names, and when they saw outsiders, they would boast about how wise their lords were, and really did they not know that they wanted to keep themselves exempt from taxes.
But it didn't matter anymore, he was going to cut taxes after that, and continue to show his generosity and repentance, and only then would he be able to lead the idiots to attack the next target.
Viscount Gwillis was well aware that the group of fools under his leadership had been keeping an eye on his position, because after each Operation to Rescue Elven Allies, he was able to gain the most benefits.
But he won't give those guys any chance, even if he will sacrifice a small amount of interests because of this, he has to sit in this position!
Let those mud-legged people continue to sing their praises of their wisdom and make their fame resound throughout the empire!
After laughing, Viscount Gerwell calmed down and began to think about the next countermeasures.
It is impossible to use such a strategy too much, and if it is used once or twice at most, it will be questioned by others, and even the great nobles and emperors will directly intervene in this matter.
Even if they give some benefits to the great nobles of their subordinates at the end of each action, if they continue like this, even the great nobles will look at the wealth in their hands.
Nothing can be gained by a single compromise, and even coveted by weakness, so Viscount Gwilly is not prepared to continue to be 'weak'.
For humans, he can't hire too many powerful retired mercenaries, nor can he have too many troops, compared to those big nobles, his own strength is still too weak, if he is coveted by the big nobles, in case he doesn't plan to pay most of the benefits, he will definitely be attacked......
So, at this time, he should ask the elves for help!
The corners of Viscount Gerwill's mouth curled slightly, those fools who acted with him may not have thought of this yet, but from the beginning, he was aiming for this.
From the very beginning, he directed and acted in 'Repentance', and everything he did was to make the family stronger.
It takes time for a family to grow, and it takes at least one to two generations of hard work to make the Gwell family rise to the level of middle and high-level nobles, and it is completely wishful thinking to become a big noble.
Therefore, Viscount Gwill did not expect that he would be able to make the family a 'big noble' in his generation, because he did not have enough time to accumulate wealth and power, but he was sure that the Gwill family would be promoted to the level of middle and high-level nobles in a short period of time under his leadership.
And his dependence lies in the 'elves' - yes, he depends on the power of the foreign race!
From the first action, vague thoughts had already crossed his mind.
- If he can't rely on the power of human society to become a middle and high-level nobleman, then maybe he can use the power of the elves.
Since then, he has been 'doing good deeds', the purpose is to let the elves see that he has reformed and take active action, and he was the first nobleman to contact the elves, and after that action, it was he, not Charlemagne's chief 'Gleason family', who planned all this.
Whether he is the root of all evil, or the 'elven avenger', he doesn't care about any of that.
All he cared about was his own family, and he believed that he had enough ability to elevate the family to the level of a mid-to-high-level nobleman, and that would only require a little effort on his part.
Now he thinks that the time has come, and now he can use the power of the elves to protect himself and his family with the power of the elves.
Because he is the leader of the 'operation' and the nobleman who is most concerned about the 'operation', with all this, he can already ask the elves to protect him - as long as he explains his dangerous situation.
He was confident that if he expressed his danger, the elves would come to his aid.
"I will lead the family to become a middle and high-level nobleman, or even a great noble......" Viscount Gwillis muttered to himself, sitting in his study, facing the study that was empty except for him.
