In addition, the issue of the protagonist's personal force has actually been arranged, so there is no need to worry about this, although it is not a routine, but it will not abuse the master.
===================
The brightly lit hall was full of people, and looking at the colorful crowd, Wren's attention was a little distracted. Three months have passed, and when he came to this city, it seemed like yesterday, that unique banquet made him murderous, if it weren't for the mockery of those people to him, it is very likely that he would choose to spend five years in this city in a dull way, make a little money, and then go back to the imperial capital to be a happy merry man. It's often like this, and there are so many "what ifs" and "ifs" after the past.
He is not a person who likes to be looked down upon, which may have something to do with the experience before the time travel, or in the previous life. He is upright, he doesn't like to be in the same stream rather than not, and he always believes that gold will always shine one day. He refused to be camped by dogs and flies, just because there was only a small wisp of righteousness left in his chest. He is not a "gentleman" in the true sense of the word, but he is definitely not the kind of villain who can have no lower limit in order to cling to the powerful, he respects authority and believes in truth.
But in exchange for what?
The bench has been on the bench for more than ten years, and the level has gone up, but the power has never stopped in his hands. What ambitions, what lofty ideals, are always unwilling to vent resentment in the dead of night.
After crossing over, he saw a political struggle that was even more brutal than that world, and the little integrity that was left in his heart finally exploded, subverting the past and becoming a different person. He suddenly understood a truth, no matter how wonderful your ideals and aspirations are, no matter how lofty your political ambitions are, whether you really do everything for justice or not, you must have power in the first place. He also understood why the ancients often said that a husband should not be without power for a day.
It's like this city, if he doesn't have power, he is persecuted and oppressed by many forces, and he can only hide in the city lord's mansion and tremble, will the city still shine like it is now?
The sudden noise in his ears caused Wren's dilated pupils to spin and shrink, and his dull eyes also converged, and he slowly got up and looked at the front door.
Prince Kant changed into a royal orthodox dress, showing his dignity in bright red and showing his dignity in gold, and the pink flower collar with gold wire strokes held Kant's chin in the middle, making his complexion look whiter by three points. There was not a single wrinkle or dust on the well-ironed clothes, and a golden lion cub was embroidered on the black pocket towel exposed in the pocket of the jacket.
The green stones of the cufflinks are made into a rich triangle by the lapidary, and the collar is a bright yellow six-pointed star-shaped gemstone that reflects all kinds of light.
The whole set of clothes has the dignity that the royal family should have, but it will not look too old-fashioned like the old-fashioned dresses worn by those old antiques, and it will have the vigor of young people.
As soon as he entered the hall, the laughter and chatter of the people instantly dropped to a minimum, and everyone looked at Prince Kant, the well-deserved host of the dinner. In the face of countless eyes, Prince Kant is obviously not afraid, born in the royal family, he has enjoyed countless baptism of gaze when he was a child. He walked with graceful steps, and every step out seemed to be precisely measured, not a single cent, not a single cent. He even smiled at the corner of his mouth very kindly, but not too close, and kept the most appropriate angle.
He constantly released good-natured glances at people and nodded slightly to express his easy-goingness.
This is a very well-educated prince, many people think so, and even make some people retreat into the crowd in order to avoid the dazzling light on Prince Kant's body.
Wren greeted him, this was not a formal meeting, and the so-called banquet had nothing to do with formality in nature. He took Kant's hand and held the glass, and the crimson wine hung a red curtain on the wall of the glass with the slightly shaking glass, exuding an intoxicating fragrance. "On behalf of Ortlenburg, I welcome the visit of Prince Kant and pay tribute to him. ”
People raised their glasses one after another, and with Wren shouting the honorific words of "Respect the Prince", the sound of the crystal cup touching was as dense as a blue pearl falling on the plate.
Prince Kant took a glass of red wine from the tray in the handmaiden's hand, and raised it in the same respect, "To Ortlenburg!"
It was a very harmonious start, no one made trouble, and there were no accidents, and in order to avoid problems, Prince Kant let people watch Joberg and did not bring him to this dinner. Joberg couldn't figure out his position and did something harmful to him, which was tantamount to losing value for a figure like Prince Kant, who was born at the center of the political maelstrom. Man is an animal of interests, everyone has his own value, when a person's value is infinitely close to zero, that is when he will be abandoned by the entire social system.
After the first glass of wine was drunk, Prince Kant gave a face-saving salute, which made the people of Ortlenburg present very excited, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
The dancers brought in by Alma dressed in simple clothes and began to sing and dance on the dance floor, and these very characteristic dances opened the eyes of His Royal Highness the prince from the imperial capital. It's not that His Royal Highness doesn't live, but the characteristics of this place are something he hasn't come into contact with. The dance of the imperial capital is more inclined to the style of soft, charming, gorgeous, and bright, located on the border of Ortlenburg, and the dance of the dancers has more of the heroic spirit that the dancers of the imperial capital do not have, and has more of the taste of decisiveness and killing.
Tired of seeing soft and weak girls, this kind of female man seems to have a special charm.
Sarcomo looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, and kept giving Wren a look, he still received the exact news at noon before rushing from the city next to him, hoping to see His Royal Highness, and it would be better to have a chance to meet. Through cooperation with Rennes, the development of the Bell Chamber of Commerce has entered the ultra-high-speed fast lane, and the monopoly brings not only huge profits, but also more important channels and networks.
This also made Sarcomo deeply aware of the failures of the past, and the Chamber of Commerce was reluctant to contact the nobles in the past, because they were afraid of being killed by the nobles for money. These nobles really wanted to rob the merchants' property, and there was really no way to stop them, and the existence of the death order almost gave the nobles unlimited power. If only 100,000 gold coins were enough to atone for their sin of seeking 150,000 gold coins and killing them for money, they would certainly raise their butcher's knives without hesitation.
The reason why the two sides were able to coexist peacefully and peacefully in the past was that the aristocracy looked down on the merchants, and this discrimination allowed many merchants to avoid trouble. The second is that the merchants form a large chamber of commerce, the power of one person may be limited, but the power of a chamber of commerce is enough to make the nobles look sideways.
The Black Clergy and Shadow Dancers never considered whether the buyers were nobles or pariahs, and as long as they could afford enough money, assassinating the Emperor was not out of the question. Moreover, the death redemption order is not considered at all for these killers, they will not consider paying money to save their lives, and their professionalism is admirable.
Now the Chamber of Commerce led by Sarcomo is willing to intersect with the aristocracy, because the benefits of the monopoly are enough to cover the benefits of their last three months in just one month, and this is only in the province of Bell, what if the scope of this trade becomes larger?
Then the profit will definitely be more, but there is a premise, if you still want to play this game in a wider environment, it is absolutely impossible to rely on Rennes alone, and you must find another person with enough influence to be a backer. Who has the thickest thighs in the Orlando Empire?
Apparently royalty!
Turning a blind eye to Sarcomo's various meaningful eyes, Wren and His Royal Highness walked to the corner where there was no one on the side, and began their first formal conversation.
"I'm sorry for what happened in February and March, I couldn't do it at that time. Prince Kant shook his eyebrows appropriately, making him look very annoyed, "You know, although I am a prince, I don't have any power. ”
February and March was when the political tsunami in the imperial capital reached its peak, and it was not only Wren who suffered, but there was another heir of the holy bloodline who was also submerged by the tsunami, but the other party was better than Wren in that he had more background, at least he did not stand on the wrong side many times, and he remained in the imperial capital, not being kicked out like him. In addition, dozens of nobles have been removed from the list, some have died directly in the resettlement area, and some have been exiled to the border cities, either alive or dead.
It was definitely a disaster, as Prince Kant said, in such a political struggle that covered almost the entire upper echelons of the empire, he would just be a prince if he didn't stretch out his hand, and if he stretched out his hand, he might be exiled.
This way of talking by retreating is very flattering, at least it will not arouse the disgust of others, and the corners of Wren's mouth are slightly upturned, indicating that he has accepted the kindness of the prince.
Prince Kant laughed a few times, raised his glass and took a sip, the sweet wine awakened the sleeping taste buds, he shook the crystal cup, and said: "The main purpose of visiting His Excellency the Baron this time is to hope that His Excellency the Baron can help me in the matter of dividing the feudal country!"
