In the early days, the court counts were actually very noble titles, they were only temporarily recruited from the realm to the royal family, belonged to the king's favored ministers, and were in charge of a certain palace of the royal family, and his authority could even rival that of the prince when necessary.

However, the most likely scenario for an empty title like this is to seal it indiscriminately. The nobles with territories are generally much better than those upstarts in terms of etiquette, and naturally they are not as good as the nouveau riche to please the king. Slowly, the court counts began to bestow on those who did not have a domain, which gradually evolved into a symbolic honorary title. Even a person like Oakes, who has professional expertise and is also serving the royal family, is also canonized as a court earl, but in essence he is only equivalent to an adviser to a certain aspect of the royal family.

So when it comes to understanding the royal family, Oakes should be the best to do.

"His Majesty the King is a decent man, so he deserves a decent ransom." Zhao Gao gently comforted Henry VI, who was about to wake up, and at the same time turned to Oakes and said, "You should be able to understand what I mean. ”

"Of course, my honorable master." Count Oaks can be left and right in the court, and he will definitely not be a stupid person, Zhao Gao's words made him feel a lot more relieved, because he has the value of existence in Zhao Gao's mind.

As a captive, there is a possibility of living if you are worthy.

"May I ask, what can I get out of it?" Oakes plucked up the courage to ask. He calmly put his clothes together, although they were still in tatters, but the clown-like appearance was long gone, and the aristocratic temperament returned to him.

From this point, it can be seen that he can have today's status, and he is by no means just relying on luck.

Zhao Gao smiled, just out of danger of his life to talk about the conditions, the greed of this court earl can be seen. He thought for a moment and replied, "Life and freedom." ”

"Thank God." Ochs made a reverent cross, which he had dealt with most of the times when he had been in worship, and this piety had only occurred once when he had been made a court count, and in his case faith was a bargain, and God wanted to obtain his faith, and apparently to satisfy his demands.

"Venerable master, if you pay other conditions, then I will find a way to escape no matter how risky I am." When Oches finished praying, he rejoiced, "For the higher the price you pay, the more likely it is that I will be killed, because you do not need to pay someone who has returned to the arms of the Lord." But since you're only willing to pay for life and freedom, oh, thanks for life and freedom, I'm willing to try a bigger possibility if you don't mind. ”

The biggest item given to this C-level plot unit by the will of the world must be the intelligence level, so far, Oakes's thinking is extremely clear, and even if Zhao Gao stands in his position, the choice he makes may not be better than him.

"So what?" Zhao Gao didn't expect that his casual trick Leng Zi would have such a big effect. What he was most worried about was that he couldn't figure out the conditions that the world's will promised him, but now that he has a "traitor", this benefit is likely to be much greater than expected.

"Under the conquest of the great former king, His Majesty Henry V the Brave, the Scots ceded a large territory to the north. But it is all a colony of indigenous barbarians, not to mention England, even the nobles of Wales do not look down on this land, if you will allow me to give me a small piece of land around Aberdeen, I will fight for you ten times the ransom! ”

Oakes' tone was humble, but the meaning of his words was clear, and this crisis turned into an opportunity for him to transform from a nominal court count to a field nobleman with a territory.

Aberdeen is by no means the wild land he said, and Scotland is by no means a barbarian settlement that no one wants, and in terms of rank, this territory is even higher than Belfast, which Zhao Gao just obtained from the will of the world. However, Zhao Gao never minded being generous to others, anyway, this place belongs to the British royal family, since Oakes wants it, then let him fight for it himself.

"Okay, but when you're talking about the ransom, I'll be given priority to some advanced special options." Zhao Gaocai doesn't care if Oakes can understand it or not, anyway, with the translation of the world's will, he can understand what Zhao Gao means.

Sure enough, Oakes' face showed a flash of ecstasy, obviously Zhao Gao agreed to his request and sent him to be in charge of the negotiations, so there was a lot of room for manipulation in the interests of the upper and lower hands.

By this time Henry VI had fully awakened. Although his level is as high as A+ in history, and his absolute strength is higher than that of everyone present, most of this identity comes from his bonus as the King of England, and most of his abilities are only reflected in the aura. Now the short sword that represents force is also being played with by Zhao Hand Master, and he is only a prisoner, he doesn't even dare to cry out loud, and he has the qualifications and willingness to talk about what to resist or not.

Zhao Gao is not good at appeasing children, and Zhao Fujin, who is like an uncle, probably does not have this skill, and at this time, it reflects the role of Fang Jingshu, who is a good wife and mother. It was only for a while, Henry VI actually stopped crying, and sat on the chair peacefully, playing with a toy given to him by Fang Jingshu.

After all, even after a rigorous royal education, Henry VI was only a child in his own right.

"There you go." Zhao Gao waved his hand impatiently at Oakes, and the envoy of the Duke of Bedford had already arrived, and after briefly meeting King Henry VI of England and witnessing that he was safe and sound, he conveyed the meaning of the Duke of Bedford.

To Zhao Gao, it has become an option to choose from.

"The Duke of Bedford is willing to offer the following conditions for the redemption of King Henry VI of England, please choose three of the following options:

A: Territory granting, Duke Bedford will randomly grant you a territory of rank D on behalf of the British King;

B: War reparations, the British royal family will pay 10,000 pounds. (Plot currency, used in all European plot worlds.) ）

C: For the plundering of artworks, the British royal family will randomly compensate ten pieces of antique artworks with a value of not less than Grade B. (A special item that can be exchanged for currency in the European story world, or gifted to a story character to gain a large amount of friendship.) ）

D: Be famous, your bravery will be a legend in the land. (+2 Legendary, +1 extra for European story worlds)

E: Royal Secrets, you will get ten items of no less than C-level, random type and random effect.

F: Iron Blade, you will get a blacksmith shop that makes iron weapons, and you will be given 10 iron weapons to your soldiers on each episode day during the war.

G: Cowhide Boots, a C-tier class equipment that provides a pair of Cowhide Boots for all infantry units, increases agility by 2, defense by 3, increases movement speed by an additional 5%, and is affected by terrain by 15%.

H: Guard Talisman, you will receive a temporary Talisman for 1000 A-Rank Guards Knights or a permanent B-Rank Guard Warrior.

I: King Armor, you will get a piece of armor of no less than gold in the King's Arsenal, with random type and random quality. ”

The long column made Zhao Gao dizzy, but he just glanced at it, and silently chose to give up, and then sent Oaks as an envoy to the camp where Duke Bedfu was.

PS: Give me a few more words to make me feel like I'm not on a stand-alone machine, okay?
