Chapter 44: Short-sightedness
The owner of the castle faced the direction of Sarn City, shook the amber wine in his hand, and said with a comfortable face: "The high-level officials of Sarn City know that the supreme wizard Griff has deliberately alienated himself from the Syndicate Federation in recent years, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that he wants to break away from the old master and go it alone. “
Maligaro also replied, "Over the years, Griff has been working hard to manage the influence of the East Storm Ocean Company in neighboring countries, trying to break away from the syndicate federation, maintain its own independence in production, sales, and property pricing, and obtain more profits. But he even desperately squeezed these wizards who usually seemed to be high-minded, holding all their money in their hands, so that his subordinates had no ability to be independent at all. And in order to continue his cultivation of spells, he also owes heavy debts of varying amounts!"
Duke Bartholomew also concluded: "Yes, how can these people be willing to be slaves and servants all their lives, and they will only become powder kegs that are about to explode." Griff, Griff, this will be your greatest failure, your ambition to control everything......"
Duke Maligaro smiled again: "Wait for us to overthrow the old man's Eastern Storm Ocean Colonial Company, and then wait for the price from the three major federations, and unite other forces on the continent and cross-continental forces such as the Tyrannical Guild to form a new type of trading company to divide the wealth of this continent." The warm ocean currents around the continent and beneath the giant volcanoes feed hundreds of millions of sea tribes and an astonishingly rich marine resource. As long as we operate a little, we will be rich and invincible!hahahaha~"
The butler, dressed in a black crisp woolen tuxedo, stood three meters behind him and then said in a respectful voice.
"Lord Duke, it's almost time! ”
Bartholomew turned back to the butler and smiled indifferently.
Later.
At the sound of the old butler announcing the arrival of his master, more than 60 people, including church priests, nobles, and wealthy merchants, in the wide hall, looked up at him together, caressed the delicate handrails carved in ivory and decorated with gold, and slowly walked down step by step with a smile on their faces.
After returning the salute to the crowd, the Duke sat down on his throne as smooth as the Duke of Ivory, and announced, "Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet today. I would like to assure everyone here that all the work is taking place now is only a temporary pain. And this will be a new beginning, a ~ new era of capital in the interests of all!"
Duke Bartholomew laughed and waved to the servants amid the raising of a large number of glittering wine glasses and heartfelt praises like a tidal wave.
The long-prepared illusion fireworks suddenly roared outside the castle, and it was not until high in the night sky that they bloomed into rows of blessings from dragons and snakes, which lasted for a long time over the castle, as if the gods themselves had sent down the blessings of spring!
The castle suddenly thundered with joy and sang like a warbler.
Staggered.
The sound of people complimenting each other and the sound of wine glasses clinking are mixed with the sweet smell of various intoxicating liquors and foods, and spread all the way to the distant horizons.
High Mage Griff stood at the top of the high wizard's tower, the cold mountain wind howling in the sky, he stood like a cold but determined rock sculpture on the open platform at the top of the tower, staring at the castle of Duke Bartholomew in the distance below.
"Pretend!" he coldly burst out of his mouth a few words: "Do you really think that others don't know your little tricks without bells and whistles? You ridiculous and ridiculous inbreeding deformities! Think you can stop my great ambition by uniting together? Hmph, I think you can still bounce for a few more days!"
But—more than fifty years later, the castle still stands tenaciously and has not been swallowed up by the city of Sarn, which it has single-handedly propped up.
I have to admire the tenacity and forbearance of the Bartholomew family!
If it weren't for the obstruction of these old multinational aristocratic forces who married everywhere, and a few churches that were faintly hostile to wizards, their lofty ideals might have been realized in a small way.
It is precisely because of these poor insects crawling at the feet of the gods that they have obstructed and colluded in every way that the "wizard blood" plan that they had prepared to launch ten years ago has been repeatedly delayed.
Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but snort coldly - those Muggles who can't spell for life, sooner or later I will clean you completely!
You garbage that has polluted the blood of noble spellcasters, and it is a blessing for humanity to be extinct as soon as possible!
In this world, human beings are no match for ogres and giants in terms of physical fitness, no match for greenland spirits and lizardmen in terms of adaptability, no more than gnolls and centaurs in terms of endurance and migration, and far behind the dragonmen and Naga of the Eternal Continent in terms of comprehensive ability.
How can human beings stand on this vast and endless land?!
Only Spells!!
With spells, human beings can build tall walls to block the robbers of all races within tens of days, and with spells, human beings can make the blades in their hands stronger than the steel weapons of giants; with spells, human beings can firmly suppress those races whose bodies are stronger than themselves and whose adaptability far exceeds those of themselves in large and small battles; and with spells, human beings can establish great civilizations on all continents in the entire plane!
Even the bureaucratic and authoritarian Empire of Great Yadongsi, the central emperor of its unified continent, the "New Emperor", also encouraged its people to study spells and change their class and destiny through learning!
However, there are many people who don't know how to do magic at all, who occupy a lot of land and minerals, and often use high prices to extort the money of the spell master, and even openly bargain with the spell master who protects them when a war breaks out between humans and foreign races!
These ignorant and cowardly commoners, these greedy and short-sighted aristocrats, these paranoid and arrogant priests, it is these large numbers of inferior populations that make up the majority of humanity and dilute the hard-won caster bloodline!
Only this race, where everyone understands and knows magic, can stand tall among the nations of the world!
Therefore, only by thoroughly cleaning out the garbage that can't spell in the human race can the "elite" of the human race build a truly perfect human world!
In order to ensure the prosperity of the human race!
I have worked all my life to realize this noble dream!
But the ignorant and greedy idiots have repeatedly added stumbling blocks to me, but it has always been in vain!
He thought to himself: "Don't you know that my grand plan is about to begin!" As soon as Clement brings back that thing, he can immediately begin the long-brewing plan. The ridiculous guys down the hill thought they were stealthy!
You'll all be swept away by me when the time comes!
All grasshoppers and ants that hinder my lofty ideals will be crushed into blood by the supreme power of great magic!
And those idiot wizards who have quietly made secret tunes with Bartholomew, when the time comes, will have to recognize the reality and continue to contribute to my great ideals.
You, you, always thought I was too authoritarian.
Hmph, it's actually you who are short-sighted!
As soon as this dream is realized, all wizards will forever be above all the powers in the world, and they will become the privileged class that informs everything, and will gain endless wealth and glory!
You fools, you fools, will soon regret it!
Hahaha......
