Every afternoon at half past two o'clock, there were suddenly more carriages on the streets of Qiqiu City.

Sumptuous carriages drove through the aristocratic quarters in the north of the city, transporting their owners into the luxurious mansions.

The bell rang at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the nobles of Qiqiu City ushered in the salon time of the day.

These nobles formed social circles because of hobbies, interests and other factors, and these overlapping social circles formed a huge social network.

Newly dressed aristocrats bring their wives or lovers into the living room of a house and talk about the latest news and the ups and downs.

Also noble, at this moment our Lord Earl of Maccaden is trying to dig forward in a sulking cave.

The nobles of Seven Hills City naturally didn't know, let alone cared about what the Earl of McCaden was doing, they kept chatting in the living room, and then began to exchange the latest current affairs.

There was a small circle within the big circle, and the three young barons sat around and tasted a bottle of wine that had just arrived.

Although the wine is not an aged wine, it has its own characteristics.

A glass wine bottle sits on top of a coffee table, with a thin parchment label attached to it. There was no text on the label other than last year's date, except for a picture of several young and beautiful girls lifting their long skirts and exposing their calves and happily stepping on grapes in a wooden basin.

The new wine pleased the three of them and made their conversation stronger.

Suvawe shook his glass and said casually, "Have you heard, the confirmation of this bond sale is Her Highness Linda." ”

Orviedo leaned back on the couch, his eyes half-asleep squinting, and said, "Does anyone know how our Highness Linda would have thought of issuing bonds?"

Frascati was picking up the bottle and admiring the label on it, and he whispered, "I heard that our King was so angry when he found out about this, he thought that His Highness Linda had been deceived by the little white face, and almost took all the griffin knights to the royal expedition in person." ”

The reason for Linda's issuance of the bonds, Frascati, who served in the royal palace, did not know, and Antoine II did not reveal the slightest rumor about it.

Oviedo whistled, "I'm sure Your Majesty can do this." ”

"Cheers to Your Majesty's bravery!" Suvawe raised his glass, and the three of them touched one together.

Suvawe put down his glass and asked Fraskati, "What is your Majesty's attitude to this matter now?"

Oviedo also tilted his head to Frascati's side, which was the most important concern for the rest of them.

The attitude of Antoine II determined the actions of these minor nobles of them.

Frascati whispered, "Your Majesty called Baron Rhine to the palace this morning, and then Rhine left with a smile. ”

"Shall we make a bet?" Orvieto sat up straight with excitement, "just bet on how many bonds our Majesty will pay for himself." ”

As soon as Oviedo's words fell, a group of butlers suddenly walked into the living room, and they all came behind their master and whispered a few words.

The butlers who had finished the conversation quickly withdrew from the living room, and the topic of the nobles in the living room immediately changed.

Orviedo sat there with his head down, as if he had lost a hundred Orray.

"You're a minute late. Suvawe said to Orvieto with a smile.

Frascati also looked at Oviedo with a smile, "When it comes to things involving Her Royal Highness Linda, Your Majesty always reacts so quickly. ”

Suvawe continued: "Her Highness Linda is also really interesting, because people who have bought her bonds can deduct half of the transaction tax on the amount of the bond in the form of half of the tax rate when they trade in her territory. And non-Bischbergers can only buy up to 40 percent of the total amount of bonds. ”

At this time, Oviedo raised his head, looked at the other two people, and asked, "Have you noticed the amount of bonds that Your Majesty has purchased?"

Suvawe and Frascati looked at each other, then it dawned on them.

Suwawe smiled and said, "We didn't send birthday wishes to Her Highness Linda last year or this year. ”

Fraskati replied, "Yes, you have to make up for it." ”

Gift-giving is a science, especially in politically charged circles. Factors such as the identity, relationship, and appeal of both parties determine the value of the gift.

Except for someone who has a lot of money and is willful, and often gives away whatever he catches.

Although Antoine II loved Linda, the gifts he gave on Linda's birthday every year did not exceed the unspoken rules of the country.

The nimble-minded aristocracy quickly understood what Antoine II meant.

After Suvawe asked his butler to buy some bonds, he took a sip of the wine that the beautiful girl stepped on, and then said, "Our Majesty really loves Her Highness Linda." ”

The other two, who had also just arranged for their butler to buy bonds, were smiling and picking up their glasses.

After all, the nobles did not trust Linda's ability to repay, and this time Linda issued a bond equivalent to the income of her territory for several years, and even Antoine II did not think that Linda could repay that much money.

But his daughter's bond could not be sold and did not look good, so Antoine II thought of this way to get other nobles to accept the bond.

"It's good that Your Majesty didn't make it too difficult for us. "This year's focus is on food." ”

Oviedo, lazily leaning back on the couch, asked Frascati, "Are you still sending someone to the elves this year?"

Frascati shook his head, "I'm afraid not, I can't rob the royal family, I want to contact the super blue dragon." ”

"Do you have a way?" asked Suwawe in surprise.

Frascati nodded slightly.

The nobles of the court, who did not have fiefdoms, made up the bulk of their income by commerce, and the massive drought was an opportunity for them to make a fortune.

A faint voice reached the living room, and Orvieto's eyes widened as he ran to the window as fast as Suvawe and Frascati could not react, staring intently at the sky outside the window.

"What's going on?" the other two came to Oviedo's side, looking at the sky as well.

At this time, there were also two nobles in the living room who realized that something was wrong, and they came to the window as soon as Oviedo.

"Dragons!" said Orvieto in a deep voice, "several dragons have flown over, and I heard them chirping. ”

At this moment, several black dots appeared in the sky, and then the black dots began to grow larger and larger, and they were dragons carrying huge box-like objects flying in the sky.

Not long after, the "flights" of the Super Blue Dragon arrived outside the city of Qiqiu City.

The three of them glanced at each other and saw that the others were also confused.

It is not surprising that the dragon "flight" and "express" appear in the king, but the frequency is very low, once or twice a month.

And it is unheard of for several dragon "flights" to arrive at the same time.

They exchanged views with the other nobles in the living room, who were unable to tell what was going on.

At this time, the intelligence dealers in Qiqiu City were simply carnival, and one piece of information passed from their hands to the hands of the nobles of the royal capital.

The latest news comes one after another, and every message can make waves.

The Forge Temple sent a cardinal and an archbishop to the City of Seven Hills.

The second group to come out of the "airline cabin" was Schuster, the royal steward of King Auston I of the Kingdom of Relic in the east.

The third group appeared to be a figure hated by the people of Bischberg, the old lady Redkin who came to the royal capital of the enemy country in the name of the vice president of the Wudaokou School of Magic and Technology.

When the news of the appearance of the fourth group of people came, the nobles who received the news all had "you teasing me" expressions, because that person was the butler of Earl Charles Macgardenen, who had become famous all over the world under the propaganda of the elves in the past two years.

However, something even more challenging happened, and all of these visitors went to the hotel where Linda's vassal Baron Rhein stayed.
