Vanasirie Palace, which is the most important place in the whole of Franciscans, is also the residence of Duke Roberts.

This large castle in the heart of Nicaro has more than 200 rooms, and it takes a long time to walk from the gate to the hall, and now Norman and Billy are walking to the hall, with a neatly dressed servant leading the way.

Although Billy was the son of Grand Duke Roberts, according to the rules of the kingdom, he moved out of Vanassery Palace after he had the title, and for the current Vanassery Palace, he was a guest, so they had to be led in by servants according to the normal rules of hospitality—even if the Earl could walk where they wanted to go with his eyes closed.

In the process of moving forward, Billy asked Norman in a whisper: "The bookstore makes so much money, when will you give me the 'dividends' you said?"

Norman asked rhetorically, "Lord Earl, have you been short of money lately?"

Billy hesitated for a moment and said, "You know, I've been attending a lot of balls lately, and I've had quite a few balls. "Ever since Norman helped Billy get on the bandwagon with the Skull and Bones Club, Billy, who had always been transparent, has slowly started to become popular, attending proms more often than before, and not even playing chess.

"I've heard that bookstores make dozens of quintalans every day, so we've already earned back all the money we invested, right?"

Norman nodded, "The initial investment is earned, but the money we earn is used to recruit workers and expand production." As you know, Count, our goal is not just Nicaro, but the entire Franciscan business needs us to expand, and with our current production and manpower we are obviously not enough......"

Norman actually quite understands Billy's thoughts, and if he himself was not so long ago, he would only see immediate benefits like Billy now.

But unlike him, the son of a peasant, Billy is the son of a grand duke, and his vision is so short-sighted, it is no wonder that he is not favored by everyone like that.

After some reassurance by Norman, Billy's restless heart, which had been stirred up by his new friend, gradually calmed down, and the two continued to follow the servant onwards, and in a short time they came to the hall, and then walked through to a small parlor.

Today was a private dinner at the Grand Duke's house, and he called several of his sons, except that when he called Billy over, he called Norman by the way.

"The family feast should be just a front, and Grand Duke Roberts's main target this time should be you. ”

This was the Templar Order's analysis, and it was.

When Norman and Billy arrived at the smaller parlor, they saw that there were already two men inside, one was Archduke Roberts and the other was Billy's third brother, Count Herbert, who were chatting.

After the two said hello and sat down, the Grand Duke left in a short time, and called Norman out by the way.

There was no need for the Knights Templar, and Norman himself could tell that the most important thing about today's so-called family feast should be this conversation, and everything else was just incidental.

This parlor was on the second floor, and Norman followed the Grand Duke out of the parlor, first to the left, after walking for a while, and then up to the third floor, and then turning right into a room, and after the two entered, the servant outside consciously closed the door to the study.

This is a study, in the middle of the position is a large desk, behind the desk, against the wall there are several large bookcases up to the ceiling, each bookcase is full of books, full of dense, it looks very spectacular, and it can show the wealth of the owner of this study.

There is also a ladder on the far right side of the bookcase wall, which can be pushed, and the function is supposed to be for the owner of the study to push over and climb up to get the books.

The Grand Duke Roberts came in and walked to the back of the desk and sat down, but he didn't beckon Norman to sit down, so Norman didn't dare to sit down, so he stood for the time being, looking at the Grand Duke in front of him.

Brandry was also looking at him, his eyes were quite strange, mixed with curiosity, inquiry, interest, appreciation, etc., but he just didn't speak.

Brandry didn't speak, and Norman couldn't speak, so he just stood and looked at him.

Brandry looked at Norman like this for a long time before he finally spoke: "I heard that the Nicaheim Chamber of Commerce was founded by you?"

Sure enough, because of this incident.

Due to the abundance of cheap and beautiful books, the strange new word "Nikhaim" has recently become the hottest term in the whole of Nikahim, not to mention the nobles and wealthy merchants who have been stealing Nikhaim's books lately, and even the commoners who have nothing to do with books and do not know a single letter have also known about Nikhaim.

Norman replied, "Yes." ”

Brandry asked, "Won't you lose money by selling your books so cheaply?" I also bought a set of your Sacred Texts, which are very beautiful, and not much worse than those copied by the most experienced scholars, but the price is too much worse. ”

Norman replied cautiously, "Because of the new method and the large number of shipments, I won't lose money for the time being." ”

Brandry nodded and asked, "What is the method?"

Norman's heart tightened.

Brandy: This is what they want to do.

Fortunately, the Knights Templar had already dealt with this, but I don't know if it would be useful to face this Franciscan emperor...... But now I can't take care of it, now that I have decided to do this, this kind of thing will come sooner or later.

Norman kept his voice as steady as he had rehearsed many times, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Grand Duke, but I don't have this business alone, and I need my partner's consent to decide whether or not to disclose it to you." ”

Brandy was a little surprised by Norman's uncooperation and boldness, and after one look at Norman, he said, "If you're talking about Billy, then I'm sure he'll agree, maybe I should have someone call him over?"

Norman nodded and said, "I'm sure Count Billy will agree, but I think we need to get the consent of the other partners." ”

"Other partners?"

Brandry was stunned.

In his investigation, the owner of Nikaheim is Norman, and the two responsible persons, Darick and Curtis, are just Norman's subordinates, and that Darick is still Billy's follower, so it is obvious that this Nikhaim is Norman's doing, and his son Billy may be the big boss behind the scenes, but he didn't expect that there would be other collaborators.

Norman's cooperation with the members of the Skull and Bones Guild was carried out in the tombs, and due to the high-end and concealed nature of the Skull and Bones Society, Brandy, the Grand Duke, did not investigate these things for a while.

"Yes, other partners. ”

Norman named the partners one by one, "Lisa King, June Rodriguez, Joseph Avari, Armstrong Moore......"

Brandry listened, the stunned expression on his face gradually faded, his expression calmed down, but his heart slowly set off a huge wave.

There is nothing terrible about these names of the Norman newspaper, although they are all elites, they are just some young people, and what makes Brandry's heart ripple is what these juniors represent.

The Kim family, the Rodriguez family, the Avari family, the Moore family, the Perez family, the Howard family, the Richardson family......

Nicaro actually has dozens of aristocratic families involved in this matter!

If Nikhaheim is just an ordinary shop, then Brandie may still be able to believe that it is just something that these juniors play with themselves, and has nothing to do with the family behind them, but the technology that Nikhaheim now has in mass production books obviously has great potential and can even influence the times, how can you make Brandy believe that this matter is just these juniors playing by themselves, and has nothing to do with the family behind them?

And in the face of such a huge force knotted together, even Brandy, the native emperor of the Franciscan leadership, had to be afraid.
