The city of Kareni, which is the front tooth of the northern part of the empire.

The Grand Duke and the Marquis are among the true nobles of the United Kingdom, the former is only canonized to princes and princesses with royal blood, while the latter is also the only great noble title that can establish a princely state.

How many marquis are there in the whole United Kingdom?

The number of them is even rarer than that of the Grand Duke, because it is natural to divide the land among the royal bloodline, but canonize it to the non-royal bloodline, unless you have made immortal deeds.

So is it a lifetime effort to help the United Kingdom occupy the north?

The answer is probably somewhere in between.

Vega, however, did not believe that the United Kingdom would give up the strategic incisor of Kareni to him as a fief of the Marquis, because there was no precedent for dividing strategic cities to the Grand Duke, even in the United Kingdom.

Because the king is also afraid of dividing the feudal kingdom and waiting for an opportunity to rebel.

If the royal family of the kingdom treats their royal blood like this, will they be so generous to a person with a foreign surname?

The answer is undoubtedly "no"!

The United Kingdom's move is not at all in line with the actual situation.

Now calm down and think about it carefully, in the process of cooperation and negotiation, the other party does not seem to have the slightest hesitation, and directly throws out the conditions that he cannot refuse.

Bang!

Vega slammed his fist into the wall in anger.

He now admits that he was carried away by the grand welcome ceremony and the pie drawn by the other party, but isn't it too much for Moore Alban to play with him as a child?

The trick unfolded in an instant.

Vega didn't leave, but sneaked back to Moore's manor, where he wanted to find out the truth anyway.

————

Alban Manor, Meeting Room.

Charl Alban, standing beside Moore, who sat on the throne, rebuked the butler and servant before he said, "Father, is the price you have paid too exaggerated, and will the kingdom really honor it for him?"

"When did I say I was going to cash in. ”

Moore's amiable expression was gone, replaced by a look of disdain: "How much insight can a hairy kid have, just draw him a big pie, and worry that he will not be obediently used by us?"

Charl Alban's pupils shrank: "Father, are you deceiving that little ghost?"

"Can teaching children cheat?"

Moore smiled coldly and said: "It's time for the innocent child to wake up, in this world, the pay and the gain are always proportional, and the people who are not greedy enough, hum...... He deserves to be deceived to death. ”

"My father is wise. ”

Charl Alban cautiously asked, "What if that imp suspects that we won't keep our promise?"

"Doubtful?"

"You're not a businessman, and you don't know much about humans. ”

Moore shook his head, and said with a look of hatred: "Our Chamber of Commerce has issued a thing called 'Lucky Ticket', as long as you spend a copper coin, there is a small chance of getting a 1,000,000% return, do you think anyone will buy this kind of thing?"

"If it's just a copper coin, of course it will. Char said firmly.

Moore nodded and continued: "Later, there were rumors that my 'lucky ticket' was suspected of being operated in the dark, but there is no evidence to prove that this rumor is true, will you continue to buy it at this time?"

Char hesitated.

In the end, he nodded and said, "Although I will also be skeptical, I will continue to buy." ”

"Exactly. ”

Moore Alban said disdainfully: "Although I did operate in the dark, and most people began to doubt it, but my business did not decrease much because of this, but continued to climb, now you understand?"

Char looked like he had a sudden realization.

He looked at Moore with admiration and said, "Father, do you mean that even if that little ghost has doubts, he will continue to do it in the face of great interests, and even deceive himself, and finally use it for us?"

"That's right. ”

"That's the case with adults, let alone a child. ”

Moore Alban affirmed: "Human beings are creatures who are born with a fluke mentality, as long as they don't hit their heads and break the bloodstream, they will never wake up." I've even seen people who are stupid enough to deceive themselves, even though they know the truth. ”

"Taught. Charl Alban looked at Moore adoringly.

Meanwhile.

Outside the door, Vega smiled a self-deprecating smile.

Everything turned out to be as he expected, Moore was really deceiving him, but he was not the kind of person who was carried away by huge benefits, to be precise, the less he paid and the greater the benefits, the more insecure he became.

In Vega's view, the effort is proportional to the benefit.

If he had changed to an ordinary chip, Vega might have believed it, but Moore just wanted to play such an exaggerated play, did he underestimate him, a traverser who grew up under the red flag and was devastated by 'me, Qin Shi Huang, and money'?

"Sure enough, it's still underestimated. ”

When Vega had finished listening to the conversation, he quietly left Alban Manor.

The reason for leaving is very simple, the first is because the duration of the trick is almost up, and the second is that there is no 100% certainty of winning the other party, Vega doesn't want to startle the snake.

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. ”

Vega had already made plans to convey the news that the Alban merchant family was a branch of the kingdom's intelligence organization to the empire, in exchange for a reasonable military merit.

However, it is necessary to carefully observe which general to convey it to, and if you meet someone who is not ladylike, it is likely that the credit will be appropriated, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable. And he still has time, it is best to find out the time of the second attack of the Kingdom Army on Kareni before reporting to the military.

There is a saying that seems to be called 'fattening and slaughtering'.

The mind has been decided.

Vega marched towards the business district with a happy mood, as for the anger of being deceived and betrayed, he has long been forgotten, betrayal of this kind of thing, once the benefits are big enough and the pay is small enough, it may be established at any time, and you will lose if you are serious.

Come to the business district.

Vega made a beeline for the magic item shop in the Imperial Capital Professionals' Guild.

His purpose was clear, that was to see if there were any cheap third-order shadow magic that could be purchased, after all, he still had 10,000 gold coins and 3 skill points on him that he didn't use.

Even if the level of the professional cannot be improved for the time being, he can still enhance his strength through the study of magic, and the only thing Vega believes in now is strong strength.

Because anyone can betray you, but only you will not betray yourself.

If supremacy is the end of a smooth sailing life, then strong strength is the foundation of life.
