Chapter 170: The Hand of the King

Margaret's brother was so excited that he stayed on deck even though it was snowing, not missing any opportunity to overlook the land.

"Let him go!"

Downton didn't meditate, but entered the independent real yĆ n room to be Xia Luo's assistant, and another level of the dragon guardian potion was overcome, and the distance to completion was just around the corner.

Margaret was very grateful, and the kind Downton gave her a taste of happiness, especially when her younger brother condensed the soul seed under the guidance of Homer's mentor, which made her overjoyed, which meant that her younger brother would become a superior magician and no longer have to worry about his livelihood.

Due to the bad weather, the return journey to Frankfurt took twice as long as expected, which also made Downton even more worried.

The heavy snowstorm that ravaged the sunset prairie also began to move south, invading the northern countries, and the winter snow of this year came very early.

When the dark clouds cleared at noon one day, the long-lost sunlight appeared, and the Ancient Spear arrived in the royal capital, and after a lapse of more than three months, Downton returned again.

"Descend and cruise the city!"

The co-captain gave the order.

When the battleship appeared over the city, the citizens on the street immediately let out a loud cheer, and some children even ran to chase the figure of the battleship.

In the past year or so, their lives have really improved, and they have more money in their pockets, which is naturally the credit of Downton, so they support him from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention that the hand of the king has such brilliant deeds.

Agagon was indispensable, and despite being a minister and overseeing the country's finances, he remained undiminished, and he remained committed to building a cult of personality in Downton's heroic image. So whatever he did, there would be propaganda agencies to beautify it and let the officially solicited bards spread it in taverns across the country.

Now in Frankfurt, no one remembers the king, let alone the prestige of the mean four dukes, Downton. is already in full swing, and the call for him to be crowned king is even more noisy.

When the warship landed at the palace's newly built airfield, Abagun was already waiting with his servants.

"Welcome back the King!"

Seeing Downton walk off the deck, Abagun immediately knelt down and shouted, deliberately omitting the word 'hand'.

Looking at the servants and guards who were on their knees, Margaret and her brother hugged each other nervously, not knowing which foot to take.

"Wow, my brother is amazing!"

When Elaine left. Downton was only a Duke of the West, and there was no such pomp at all, although she had seen stricter court etiquette in Versailles, but it did not belong to her brother.

"Master, you're back!"

As soon as Downton stepped onto the floor, Abagun immediately got up, followed by a trot, and then slipped to his knees. Stopped in front of him, then lowered his head and kissed his boots.

"You're a powerful minister, too. Pay attention to the image!"

Downton took a step back and lifted Abagon.

"No, Abagun will always be your goblin steward!"

Abagon was grateful, and without Downton, he would not be where he is now.

"It's been very tough lately, but I don't seem to have received your report?"

Downton walked along. Motioning for everyone to get up, he commanded, "You and I go to the office and introduce the nearest domestic form, right." Arrange their stay!"

"Yes, master!"

Abagun took the order, waved his hand, and immediately a head maid stepped forward to take care of everyone.

The goblin steward has too many official duties, although it wants to take care of the master's food and daily life, after all, that is only a qualification for close people, but it does not have the time and energy.

Downton didn't claim the title of king, nor did he give his sister a title of nobility, so it was a bit troublesome to call it, but fortunately, news came soon that she was actually the third princess of Saint Laurent.

"Your Highness Elaine, please go this way!"

Not only the head maid, but also the servants were quietly looking at Elaine, and they knew that Lord Downton loved this sister very much, and served her well, so that they could gain a foothold in the palace.

"Just call me Elaine!"

Elaine spun around and looked around curiously, "Can I walk around?"

"Of course!"

The head maid complimented, "You don't have to be restrained, this is your home, you can go anywhere, transform anywhere!"

"Great!"

Elaine cheered, no matter how big the Palace of Versailles was, it was not her own, but here, she could feel it, a breath of freedom.

"Sister!"

The younger brother pulled Margaret, the most luxurious place he had ever been to was the cathedral, so he was very nervous, although Frankfurt was a third-rate country, its royal palace was definitely not shabby, after all, the kings would carefully repair their residences.

As soon as Downton walked into the office, he saw a row of girls standing, holding a thick text in their hands, and couldn't help but nod.

Abagun was definitely a competent steward, and knew what to prepare for Downton as early as the time he greeted him.

"Let's talk about the domestic shape first, have there been any disasters?"

Downton walked a few steps, and was suddenly stunned, because he saw that among the female secretaries, there were actually five orc girls.

"Master!"

Seeing Downton's gaze, the five orcs immediately knelt down with nervous faces and kowtowed.

"What's going on?"

Downton frowned, you must know that there is an unwritten unwritten ~ rule that as a maid in the palace, if the king wants to, he can come at any time ~ Fortunately, these maids don't even need to give an identity afterwards, and can be sent away by giving some gold coins.

"They were all slaves, and when I saw that they were pitiful, I bought them on my own initiative and gave them a bite to eat. ā€

Abagon's rhetoric is beautiful, he looks like a gentleman, in fact, he looks good, buys it to warm the bed for the master, and when he is tired from work, he can press the female secretary on the desk to vent, otherwise there are so many orc slaves, why did he pick all the beauties.

"Hmm!"

Downton nodded, and glanced again, and Abagon's sycophant almost slapped the man's heart.

The female secretaries are all wearing tight-fitting uniforms, and the upper body is a translucent shirt that sticks to the flesh, and there is no underwear, and you can see the convex ~ point on the chest, as you walk. It also swayed, and the lower half of the body was a one-step skirt, and she wore black stockings on her thighs, which even reflected the smoothness of the chandelier, and crystal high heels on her feet......

"Abagon, do you think I look like a good~ lustful king?"

Downton asked rhetorically. He noticed that there were clothes racks at the door of the study, all of which were the coats of the female secretaries, obviously these fragrant ~ glamorous scenes were only appreciated by him.

"The combination of work and rest will increase the work efficiency!" "Abagon's face did not change, "the master is too tired and needs to relax." ā€

"Change this outfit!" Downton glared at Abagon, "Elaine is back, and you want her to hate you." Just say it!"

"Okay!"

Abagon sighed, if Elaine hated herself, her minister's position was probably unstable.

"Get down to business!"

Downton sat down at the back of his desk, and before he could do anything, a female secretary handed him a fountain pen.

"Thank you!"

Downton turned his head to thank him, but because he sat down, his eyes were right on the female secretary's chest, and a little red was extremely conspicuous.

"Do you want coffee?"

The female secretary endured her shyness. Whisper if you get Downton's favor. In the future, you will have the opportunity to enter the harem.

"Well, black tea!"

Downton shook his head, no longer thinking nonsense.

"The domestic situation is very good, and the people's income has increased, which is the best stabilizer, and their enthusiasm for work is unprecedentedly high!"

Abagon submitted a report. "We are in the honeymoon period with Bavaria, and with the development of underground trade routes, the benefits are growing like crazy. ā€

"We don't have to worry about selling our domestically produced goods at all, and other merchant groups go underground to sell things. We all need to deal with the dwarves and bid for the right to sell, we don't need to, you, as the divine servant of the Queen of the Rosespider, have great prestige among the dark elves, so Mosoblay City is open to us!"

"Hmm!"

Downton knows that the truth is not so simple, the eight housewives are not united, although they are xenophobic, but they are not stupid, watching the dwarves make a lot of money, and the national power is gradually peaking, naturally they don't want to fall behind, otherwise the dominance of the underground will be sidelined.

Why not have Downton provide surface commodities and sell extruded underground specialties for gold coins and resources, and make a fortune together?

"Now there are many merchant groups who have submitted letters of intent, hoping to join our merchant groups, share business information, and sell goods in Mosoblay City, of course, they will pay a high commission!"

Abagon pulled out another piece of information, "I think this is not only an economic activity, but also a political significance, so I have preliminarily screened some allies and are waiting for you to decide." ā€

"That's a good job, except for Bavaria, all the other eight empire merchant groups are eliminated, and then choose from those partners who are the first to follow us, I want them to know, follow me, there will be meat to eat!"

Downton browsed the text, with his current power, he didn't have to worry about the retaliation of the second-rate countries at all, as for the first-rate countries, there was Bavaria to resist.

Not to mention the relationship between Downton and Princess Sissi, the current trade between the two sides involves many fields, and the total amount is expected to reach 70 billion gold coins next year, and 100 billion the year after next.

Now in the second life, he will wake up with a smile when he dreams, after all, no one will dislike his too many gold coins, and his daughter's eyes on men are really sharp.

Now Downton has also begun to run his own network of influence, and he doesn't plan to just be a little king!

"Haven't there been disasters and riots?"

After talking about the economic aspects of the free trade zone, Downton asked the question that he was most worried about.

"No, with the fullness of the pockets, the people's ability to withstand disasters has greatly increased, and besides, this snowstorm is mainly concentrated in the sunset prairie, our country, only some areas have suffered from the cold wave, but I have already arranged relief materials!"

Abagon's brow furrowed, "The only trouble is from the Dragon Hills, where skirmishes keep breaking out!"

"It's sooner than expected!"

Looking at the casualty figures, Downton sighed. (To be continued......)
