Act 390 The Redemption of Nerus IV
"Really...... Tired......"
Nerus IV lay down on his chair tiredly, grabbed the Chinese wine in his hand and poured it into his mouth.
The people of Black Rock have always been happy to drink.
Since the opening of the sea route, all kinds of products from Huaguo have suddenly poured into the seven southern countries, forming a trend. Although the higher-ups of the Black Rock Kingdom unanimously resisted Stormwind's forces from passing through Echo Canyon, it did not prevent them from being enthusiastic about Chinese wine.
The existence of Stormwind City is to compete with them for business in Black Rock, as the so-called peers are enemies, and it is normal for things related to vital interests to look at each other wrongly, but in the words of the Black Rock nobles - the wine is innocent!
Therefore, all kinds of goods from China represented by fine wine in the high-rise of Heiyan have always been selling well, although the goods imported from Baisha Port have increased a lot along the way, but they can't stop the enthusiasm of Heiyan people.
After a glass of wine, Nerus IV finally felt better.
During this time, he has been circling between the other six kingdoms, and in order to fill the hole in the basket poked out by the blood god official Gloria, a lot of his brain cells can be wasted!
This is no easy task for the Black Rock people, who are known for their bravery!
At that time, when Nerus IV realized that there were too many people to know and could no longer be forcibly covered up by force, he immediately sent people to invite these "strayers" into the palace, and then began a heartfelt conversation.
Except for some guards and the like who didn't need to care, there were only four people who really needed to be dealt with - all of them were high-powered and wealthy nobles without exception!
A king, a duke, two marquises, and behind each of them stands a country!
It was all the blood priest Gloria who deliberately selected the target, and she thought that such a combination was enough to spread the word about the cooperation between Nerus IV and herself.
But in the eyes of Nerus IV, the problem of these four people was not impossible to solve through trading.
Compared with modern countries, although this kind of aristocratic rule often rushes into anger and raises troops, when it really can't be fought, these aristocrats often behave more practically and have no downline than modern politicians - modern politicians are at least subject to the supervision of public opinion, and dare not do things too far, but in Anglia no one will supervise those nobles.
If you don't talk about private transactions that I don't say, who can know?
Although there is no doubt that a piece of fat will be bitten off by these guys, at least it will not be as tragic as the whole incident being exposed.
If the matter of trading with the undead is really completely exposed to the world, the affairs of the six kingdoms will be left alone, and the opposition within the Black Rock Kingdom will be enough to overthrow the royal family from power!
Even if Nerus IV had reached a tacit agreement with most of the powerful nobles before the operation, and the forces of these nobles were more or less involved, if the matter was revealed, the first choice of these people would be to break out a coup d'état to kill themselves, and then pour all the dirty water and evil on themselves!
As for themselves?
Of course, while enjoying the flowers and applause, I hid in the room and continued to count my little money.
How could he Nerus IV let such a thing happen!?
After the five of them sat down in the study, Nerus IV happily told all about his dealings with the Blood Priest Gloria, of course, some of the more irritating parts were abbreviated and adapted, and the content was generally correct anyway
But even with a lot of modifications, when it was confirmed that he had conspired with the Blood God Officer Gloria to deal with the Blood Castle Legion, if it weren't for the fact that this was the royal palace of Black Rock, just hearing the first few words of Nerus IV would have been enough for these people to slaughter the people in front of them!
Under the deterrence of the guards outside the door, the four of them finally listened to the story of Nerus IV honestly.
Until the end, they couldn't believe that the Black Rock Kingdom, which was originally the vanguard of the undead, actually colluded with the undead and took the initiative to sacrifice the Blood Fortress!
Even if they get it back afterwards!
As for the various reasons offered by Nerus IV, such as making the Six Kingdoms feel the threat again, knowing that the undead have not been defeated; For example, without the support of the Six Kingdoms, Black Rock's economy will collapse.
And so on for reasons that were not accepted by the four of them at all, as the most important giants in their respective countries, they had long taken care of similar dramas, but no one had ever dared to do so much with Nerus IV!
To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than profit!
For the sake of profit, there are not a few nobles who have sold their souls to the devil in history, and now there are only more Nerus IV who does business with the undead.
And now, the means used by Nerus IV to settle this matter is still profit!
First of all, Nerus IV made it clear to them that there was no benefit in exposing it!
Whether it's for them, for their country, or for the whole human world!
Once this kind of thing is announced, then there is no doubt that the Black Rock Kingdom will fall into a civil war.
Indeed, it would not be difficult to take advantage of this opportunity if the six great kingdoms united to divide the Black Rock, and the reasons were all ready-made!
But what's the use of getting the land in Black Rock?
It is said that there is nothing wrong with birds not pooping, and the barren land is difficult to fill even the stomachs of the peasants who live here, and there is nothing of value at all except for a few mines, and what is produced here is unruly berserkers.
It's hard to rule, there's no income, and you even have to put money into it, and you have to face the hot potato of Echo Canyon, not to mention the military expenses and casualties incurred when attacking Black Rock.
Who would want this kind of place!?
As for letting the Black Rock people themselves punish His Majesty?
Sorry, they're not naïve enough to think that those Black Rock nobles are clean under their butts, and who can guarantee that the new king who came after taking out Nerus IV didn't participate in the trade with the undead?
Such a big thing can not be done without the cooperation of many nobles!?
Therefore, it would not do them any good to make the matter public, except to completely mess up the Black Rock Kingdom and create mutual distrust within the Seven Kingdoms! A Black Rock that was crippled by the civil war also needs blood transfusion from the Six Kingdoms, otherwise don't expect to be able to hold the Blood Fortress, how much difference is there between this and before the fight?
After making this clear, Nerus IV put forward his own conditions for the exchange of interests.
The Black Rock people don't like too many bells and whistles, and they don't produce those here, so the conditions of Nerus IV are very straightforward, how many supplies have your family supported to Black Rock, I will add a zero to return it later! Moreover, he promised to give the four families a treasure that could be selected from the treasure house of the Black Rock Royal Family!
At the same time, Nerus IV would write five confessions in his own hand, signed by the five men, and each of them would keep one copy, so that neither party could repent.
