After the fat nobleman left the carriage, he did not immediately go to Queen Mary, as he had said, but walked around the palatial corridor, and finally came to a remote room.

The original main hall is now available for the queen to live in, so the owner who once lived here, the mayor of Saxophone Town and the main messenger behind the Gray Eagle Mercenary Regiment, can only live in the side hall now.

However, even the "side hall" still has a gorgeous decoration, precious calligraphy and paintings, rare animal skins, smooth and shiny marble tiles, as well as crystal chandeliers hanging overhead when passing through the corridor, large bright red wooden doors, and gilded brass door handles...... They are all from the hands of first-class designers in the kingdom, the price is expensive, and there is a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.

In short, the whole house is out of place with the atmosphere of the whole town.

The fat aristocrat sighed inwardly, feeling that his friend was too stupid...... To put it mildly, it's a pig's head.

There is no benefit in building such a house in every way: the people in the territory will think that you are looting the people's fat and ointment, and the nobles who come here for private visits and the extraordinary people who pass by will think that you are a hillbilly, and you may even be watched by thieves and even robbers who pass by: build your house so conspicuously that you don't steal from whom, who you don't rob?

The town of Saxophone is located on the border between Silent Hill and the County of Glenn, and the people who stop and rest here are far from safe.

And—

Why not invest your gold in something more meaningful?

Hubert was heartbroken.

How many workers, how many ships, how many factories could be built for the cost of building such a house?

For a "new aristocracy" like him, it is basic common sense that only by constantly investing money in new industries can wealth remain alive forever. Because money will continue to make money, and as long as the money is in your pocket, you will always maintain your own status and that of your family.

- Times are different.

The old aristocracy, whose minds are full of words such as "blood" and "glory", may not be able to understand it, because they are forever indulging in the glory of the past, and occasionally give birth to a few sober people, but they will treat them as aliens, expel them, or even exterminate them......

Therefore, they are destined to drown in the rolling tide with the so-called "dignity of the nobility".

This is not lying, or exaggeration.

Hubert, who had been a member of a prestigious family with a long history and had since switched to the aristocracy of the South, was both a beneficiary and a constant spectator.

Ever since the southern aristocracy began to build their own fleets and massively promoted the popularization of alchemy factories, thus grabbing an astonishing fortune, they were not satisfied, and soon hit the old nobles with their ideas-

For them, those ordinary people themselves do not have much oil and water to fish, not to mention that they still need to hire people to work for themselves, at this time, there are a large number of tenant farmers, slaves, slaves, and occupy the vast land resources of the so-called famous families, in the eyes of the new aristocracy is undoubtedly the biggest ...... "fat sheep".

Hubert has never seen a declining aristocratic family sell their possessions and fields, and even sell all the items handed down from their ancestors, just to continue to ensure a luxurious life of drunken money, but never want to make progress; What's more, they will marry their daughters to wealthy businessmen they once looked down on in exchange for money.

Although they have an "aristocratic spirit" on their lips, they have no dignity at all since they did this kind of thing, right?

Who, then, is insulting the spirit of the kings and nobles who have been handed down in this country?

Hubert knows who is right and who can represent the general trend of the future -

When the Age of Discovery was kicking off, everything was quietly changing.

Of course, the group of people with the highest eyes in the center of the royal capital can't all be fools, and they naturally see the threat of the new nobles.

At first, no one paid attention to it, but when the power of the southern aristocracy quickly grew, they naturally found out what a huge threat the existence and behavior of this group of people would bring to the old system, as well as the existing impact, so they would consider suppressing it through political and even military means.

Naturally, the new nobles would not raise their banners and surrender, and they were also recruiting troops to secretly exert influence through the local councils. The "new army" that the kingdom now has in place was established under their active advocacy.

As a result, the dispute between the two sides has become more and more intense and has become increasingly fierce.

Hubert was a staunch neo-aristocratic faction. It's just that he didn't expect that he once met his best friend when he was studying in the royal capital, but he turned to the royalist party.

Obviously, at that time, like himself, he looked down on the group of guys who valued bloodline and actually relied on the old and sold the old, and looked forward to one day changing the country......

Hubert thinks he's still on the path to realizing his dreams, but instead of becoming his companion and being ousted from the center of power and sent to the border, Hubert is now learning like the rotten and backward old-fashioned aristocracy!

......

He finally came to the door.

"Hubert, how's it going?"

At this time, his friend was pale, leaning against the door, and his body was still trembling slightly.

The man was half frightened to death as he watched the servant beside Mr. Rasputin wield the sword and witness the terrifying force inflicted.

"It's not going to be good. Those two people have already come, and I can't stop them. Wizards are also a group of moody people, and although they are not in trouble now, no one knows if he will suddenly turn his face...... You might as well pray for yourself. ”

The more Hubert thought about it, the more he was in a bad mood, and said coldly.

So, Mr. George, the mayor of Sachs, who was standing in front of him, trembled more and more violently, and the expression of the horse was about to faint.

Seeing the other party's pitiful appearance, although Hubert's expression was serious, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.

In the past, when they were in the Royal Academy, the two had a very good relationship.

They were not taken seriously in the first place, and later when they were students, they invariably revealed the concept of so-called "rebellion", and the relationship with their families was very stiff.

In a sense, the former Browning George is the person he values the most.

Hubert sighed, his voice softening.

“...... Her Majesty the Queen is about to meet them. Then you will appear again as your master and make amends to them...... I guess that's the most important thing you should do right now. ”

Regardless, he was kind enough to give advice.

However, what Hubert didn't expect was that after he thought about his friend so diligently, the other party showed a hesitant expression.

"I'm entertaining guests right now, so ......"

"Guests? Who is it? You're kidding?! Hubert roared angrily, "Who better to ...... than the arrival of a leader of the Blacktower."

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of golden light out of the corner of his eye. It was the long fringed hair of a young woman, reflecting a dazzling glow in the sun.
