Chapter 454: The Beginning of the Fall (I)

Let Albizi sit down first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

From time to time, a small man walked into the study led by Domina.

His round body was like a leather ball, and he wore a plain gray coat, and his golden hair was tied back in a small braid.

There is no ornament on the hand, only an iron ring with words printed on the thumb of the right hand.

Glancing at the two old acquaintances sitting in the chairs, Padrelo, who had just met Melbourne downstairs, cleared his throat a little awkwardly.

Originally, he thought that 'Lord Ross' was not right, and he was already in a preemptive state of sending him to the north to find the Holy See, but he didn't expect that these two families had longer legs than them!

Almost as soon as the Petsein line was broken, they quickly made changes.

Compared with the big nobles who are loyal to the royal family and tie their interests to each other, their centripetal force towards the Ainomosen royal family is not so strong.

Moreover, those damned nobles have always looked down on them, and the family has spent a lot of effort just to marry the daughter of an earl, and the result is still excluded from the top circles in the country.

The bastards who value tradition and glory don't like their filthy nouveau riche very much.

But now the situation has changed.

If the family can get on the warship of the Holy See... To hell with those damn bastards!

And having just seen the people of Albizi, Padro already knew that this war was doomed.

Albizi, who completely supported half of the kingdom, had already faintly fallen to the Northern See, but the decline of the Scorching Sun family from the ancestral bloodline was so obvious that even a blind person could see it!

With one hand on his chest, Padro bent down slightly, "Hello, Your Excellency, I am Padro Rothschild, and I have come here to discuss a business with you on the orders of 'Lord Roths'. ”

Unlike Victor's rhetoric, as soon as Padro came up, he almost said directly how much they could benefit from the defeat of the Scorching Sun royal family.

With a smile on her face, "Domina, find this Mr. Padro a chair and ask the cook to get some refreshments." ”

Then looking at Padero, Mien smiled, "My life has always been very simple, I hope you don't mind." ”

They could see that without even saying it to Meen.

In the study of the Pope, who is at the peak of his power, apart from the door and the teapot on the table, the only thing that can make them look at the whole room is probably the small cashmere carpet on the floor.

And the Pope is just like he said, wearing a simple white robe without any ornaments, and he has been washed many times.

There is no decoration on the hands, and even the pen used for writing is a big road.

You must know that even if they are themselves, the pens they use are all privately made by everyone.

But the more this happened, the more the three felt that the Pope was much more powerful than they had imagined.

Being in a high position but still liking simplicity... Or unpretentious, which in itself is a great test of human self-knowledge.

The pursuit of enjoyment is a common trait of all human beings.

On the other hand, it seems that the competition on the material plane no longer applies to this otherworldly existence.

And they have done their homework before coming to the Holy See, what kind of existence the first pope is, just legends and rumors, can be seen in the tube.

Take the soldiers who returned alive from the siege of Highland City, and everyone admitted that they saw 'God' on that day!

If you just say it, everyone will definitely think that he is crazy, but tens of thousands of people, including the Knight of Myne and his lieutenants, are all talking about the same thing, then it is worth pondering.

Saying a rare thank you, Padro carefully sat down on the chair brought by Domina, and continued, "We operate many industries in the south, lending and trading are only part of our family's business, I heard that the Northland Ice Fields are rich in magical creatures, so I came here to get your permission so that the family's caravan can legally conduct business activities there..."

Before Padro could finish speaking, Melbourne suddenly interjected, "Your Excellency Padro, the business in this northern part of the country has always been the business of my family, and besides, why don't you go to the royal family of Berland for what you call 'legitimate commercial activities'?" As far as I know, all taxes are collected by the kingdom. ”

Especially when it comes to the word 'legal', Melbourne almost gritted his teeth.

The Rothschilds' legitimate business activities?

It's the funniest joke of the century!

What can you expect from a family that made its fortune by lending at high interest rates and smuggling on a large scale.

In this regard, Victor deeply agrees, they are also rich and rival countries, but it is that their Rothschilds are not treated well by the upper class, and he can't think of anything other than these reasons.

Padro's face remained unchanged, he looked at Melburne and said lightly, "Albizi, please pay attention to your identity, I am talking to the Pope, is the Northland Ice Sheet your family's private hunting ground?"

Just after meeting, the smell of gunpowder filled the room.

Albizi only gave the news of his cooperation with the Holy See to the Duponts, and did not choose Rothschild, precisely because they did not like these greedy and bloodthirsty parasites.

But what I didn't expect was that these guys actually found themselves here!

Minn leaned back in his chair and smiled, and said methodically, "You must all know the purpose of coming here, but my time is very valuable, and if you are just for quarrels, I'm afraid I'll have to pick another free day." ”

He was completely unhurried, and now that the initiative was in his own hands, Mien was happy to see them conflict, whatever they tossed.

Hearing Meen's voice, the two of them stopped.

Melburne bowed slightly to Meen, "I was rude." ”

Padro snorted coldly, sat down in his chair and straightened his body, and was silent for a while before continuing, "Since the Pope has said so, then let me also make it clear, the royal family of the scorching sun has slaughtered thirteen missionaries in spite of opposition, and has waged war in the north, I think that even the Great Light of mercy will not be able to forgive their sins, and we, the Rothschilds, are willing to reassure the Light of our faith by withdrawing all funds from the Royal Family of the Scorching Sun." ”

Pausing slightly, "You may not know that Lord Ross was baptized to return to the Light a month ago, and this decision is also his desire to contribute his own strength to punish heretics. ”
