Norman left the Earl's Court and failed to find a chance to ask Lancelot, as Derrick was sitting next to him.

He glanced at Derrick, a very short boy looking sideways ahead, intently watching, as if there was a great drama going on.

They were now on their way to Mannheim, and there was a lamp hanging from the roof of the carriage, and the modest light illuminated the interior of the carriage in a dim light, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere was quiet.

Norman followed Darik's line of sight and saw that there was nothing but the closed door of the carriage.

I don't know what exactly this guy is looking at.

Norman whispered to himself, and suddenly Darik spoke.

"Alan. ”

Norman looked at Darik.

The two of them were sitting facing each other, one of them sitting on one side, and it could be seen that Derrick had turned his head back and was looking at Norman.

"Earl Billy likes you very much. ”

Norman nodded, not knowing whether it would be better for him to give Darek a smile or a modest expression. I couldn't choose for a while, so I had to be expressionless.

But Derick didn't care, and continued: "That's good. There are some things I would have liked to tell you slowly, but now that the Earl likes you so much, I thought that perhaps I should have told you these things in advance. ”

"As you know, Count Billy is the son of Grand Duke Roberts, and he has the right of inheritance of the Grand Duke, but Lord Count doesn't care about this matter at all, so Master Bella has told him many times, but Lord Count has always only dealt with it superficially, and now Master Bella is not in Nicaro for a long time, and Lord Count doesn't need to deal with it......"

As Derick slowly spoke, Norman finally got a general idea of what was going on with Earl Billy.

To put it simply, this Count Billy is not concerned about the inheritance of the title of Grand Duke, but Bella and Derick are very concerned about this matter, so Bella is a red-robed mage who has put Nicarro's excellent living environment and has been running around to collect talents for Count Billy, and Derick has been dreaming about this matter all night.

Now that Derrick is talking to Norman, he hopes that Norman will take this opportunity to win the favor of Count Billy to contact Billy more and guide the topic, so that Billy can pay more attention to business, do more things for the Grand Duke to see, and stop indulging in chess, drinking parties and other entertainment activities all day long.

After hearing this, this Darerick seemed to be an auxiliary minister between his words, so it is no wonder that he was so arrogant when he found Norman today.

But now his attitude has softened and he is much more approachable, obviously because he is jealous of Norman's status in Billy's eyes, and he has something to ask for Norman, which is why he can bend and stretch.

Faced with Dareek's instructions, Norman casually responded: "Okay, okay." But in my heart, I thought that it was about him.

He was completely distracted, but it made Darik very comfortable, because Norman was not pampered, which seemed to him to be a good comrade.

So the momentum of the auxiliary minister came out again, pulling Norman along the way to guide the country, from Duke Roberts's eldest son all the way to the third son, all of them were not in his mouth, and in the end, it was the fourth son of this waste who had the greatest hope of inheriting the title.

Derrick's logical analysis, which he knew how detached from reality he knew with his ass, made Norman secretly admire it in his heart, and it was rare to be blind to such an extent. However, of course, it will not be shown on the face, and it is only in harmony along the way, until Derick has already talked about the two of them being crowned earls after Count Billy inherited the title and became the Grand Duke, and the carriage finally arrived in Mannheim.

This carriage was from the Derick family, not Mannheim, so they were not allowed to enter, and the two of them had to walk under the school gate in the direction of the dormitory.

Along the way, Norman listened to Derick's scolding all the way, and finally finally walked to the dormitory area and the two went their separate ways, so that they could finally talk to Lancelot, and asked their doubts to know what Lancelot thought, but Lancelot did not answer his question immediately, but told the story.

"In our earth world, there used to be a grand duke named Cao Cao......"

Lancelot told the story of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Norman listened to it with a sense of understanding, and after some hesitation, he asked, "Do you want ...... Let me learn Cao Cao?"

"Yes. ”

Norman was shocked.

Lancelot actually wants him to become the Grand Duke?!

This step of coercing the Son of Heaven is not difficult in Norman's opinion, just like Count Billy, Norman feels that he can deal with him without the help of the Templars, but the key is that the step of making Count Billy the Grand Duke is too difficult!

Derick had just analyzed the other three sons of the Grand Duke for him, although there was an obvious tendency in Derik's words, and those three sons were worthless by him, but from some factual data, it can still be seen how big the gap between Earl Billy and these three elder brothers is.

Aside from the sidelines, let's talk about the followers, the followers of Count Billy's elder brothers are either the prefect of the Treasury or the general of the Nicaro City Guard, and who are the followers of Count Billy? According to Derrick's words, it is likely that there are only three people, Bella, him, and Derrick, one red-robed mage wandering around, and two black-robed mages who are still studying in Mannheim, what is the comparison with others?

The difference in strength is too great.

Even regardless of the followers, as far as the sons themselves are concerned, Earl Billy does not have the slightest advantage.

Billy was just an ordinary man, neither a mage nor a knight, and according to what Daerik had just said, his brothers were all black-robed mages!

Not to mention that Billy is busy playing chess all day long, and his brothers are "intriguing" (Derick's words) all day long, and the ambition gap between them is also very large.

No matter how you look at it, Count Billy has no chance of winning if he wants to stand out from these sons, so Norman is very disdainful of Darerick's babbling dreams, and he deals with it very casually, and he never thinks that he really wants to help Billy fight for any title, but he didn't expect Lancelot to think the same way.

"It's impossible!"

Norman dismisses the plan as unreliable, and tells Lancelot what Derrick has revealed in combination with what he thinks of himself, so that Lancelot realizes how low the likelihood of success is for the idea, but the conditions that are unfavorable to him are not as bad as Lancelot thinks.

"It is sometimes not a good thing that the followers are too strong, and the present Grand Duke sees that the followers of his sons occupy those important positions, will he not have the slightest idea?Especially the second son, who is close to the general of the city guard, has not the Grand Duke worried that his second son will not be able to wait one day and want to usurp his throne? ”

"It's not a disadvantage to have no ambition, it's a good way to protect yourself. Even you, a follower of Earl Billy, think this is a useless fellow, and there is no hope at all in the fight for the title, what do you think the other three sons will think? They will only fight each other to the death, and no one will pay attention to this Earl of Billy, which makes us safe and gives us a chance to develop quietly......"

Lancelot's language skills are very good, and the analytical angle is even more tricky, Billy, who was originally inferior in Norman's opinion, is actually promising in Lancelot's mouth, the key is that at first glance it seems to be really reasonable, and there is no way to refute it.

So Norman was a little moved by what he heard.

And at the end of the day, Lancelot threw out the last condition to win.

"The most important thing is that these sons only have the nobles of Nicaro as their followers, but Count Billy has you, and thousands of wise forbidden spell mages from the earth world to advise him, whose followers are really powerful, so why don't you have faith?"

Lancelot's last words could be said to be boastful, but Norman listened to it and suddenly realized in his heart.

That's right, although their strength seems to be weak and insignificant in reality, but behind him Norman is the thousands of wise forbidden mages of the Earth world who are trying to figure out a way for them!

The more Norman thought about it, the more moved he became, and coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes' words thump in his heart.

If this succeeds, he will be the de facto Grand Duke and Emperor of the Soil of Francis!

From farmer to grand duke...... The temptation was too great for Norman to resist, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It's decided, and it's done!
