Bauhinia Boulevard, known as the most powerful street in the Duchy of Lorraine, can hit a viscount or earl by throwing a brick into the street.

In the deepest part of the avenue, in a mansion full of roses, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, listening to the report of his attendant.

"Last night, the Knights of the Eagle of the Habs Empire lined up on Chuck Street, and the Knights of the Bauhinia immediately gathered to prepare for battle, and later found that the Eagle did not show signs of moving to the upper city, so the guard was lifted, but the guards of the Duke's Palace still tripled. ”

The man laughed, "A knightly order of hundreds of high-ranking knights is enough to stage a small coup d'état, and the Duke of Lorraine has allowed them to roam freely in the city, it seems that he trusts the Habs very much." ”

The middle-aged man's name is Johnny, the head of the Medici family. The Medici family is one of the oldest families in Lorraine, and is very wealthy in the southern territory of Nasser.

Unlike nouveau riche like the "golden balance" Siegel, the Medici family is very low-key, and in recent decades it has been comprehensively attacked by Siegel commercially, but the Medici family still holds back.

"Interestingly, the Knights of the Eagle are targeting the Siegel family this time. ”

Hearing this, Jonny became interested, and he turned around and said, "Report in detail." ”

"According to the news from us in Siegel, someone has developed a potion to treat the invasion of evil spirits, and this matter has been confirmed by Siegel's young master Buck, so Count Buchko rushed to the lower city overnight, presumably to discuss cooperation. ”

"I don't know why, the Female Eagle Knights suddenly surrounded the place where they were negotiating, and there were signs of the activation of the forbidden magic array inside, and finally Buchico came out with a blue face, and went straight back to the house with Siegel's men and horses. ”

"Potions for the invasion of evil spirits, is this news accurate?" said Jonny's face was solemn.

"It should be eight or nine years old, there is a servant in the Siegel Mansion who has been invaded by evil spirits, and he will be fine for a few hours after applying the potion, which many people have seen with their own eyes. ”

The attendant raised his head and said, "If Lord Marquis wants to confirm, I will immediately send someone to verify." ”

"There is no need to verify, according to the style of the Siegel family, the servant must have disappeared, and those who saw it would deny it with their own eyes. ”

Jonny looked in a good mood, and he laughed and said, "Buccico, Buccico, you dug your own grave and handed me the shovel." ”

"Last thing, who is the person who developed the potion, and what does it have to do with Princess Loren of Habs?"

"I only know that my name is Damian, and I open a small shop on Chuck Street called the Dragon House, and I don't know the rest of the situation. ”

"Damian?"

Jonny remembered that more than a month ago, Grand Magister Merlin had taken in a student for the first time, and it was rumored that the student was from a humble background, an apprentice at a grocery store in Downtown.

"Didn't that guy Merlin take in Anna, the daughter of Princess Loren of the Habs and the widow duke, some time ago, if it's really that damian, it's the same brother and sister. Jonny muttered to himself.

"No wonder Buchiko is so anxious, offended Capone, and wants to talk about business with the three-headed dragon's people, if the soft one doesn't work, just come to the hard one, it's indeed your Siegel's style. ”

"But it looks like I've kicked an iron plate. A smile tugged at the corner of Johnny's mouth. "Since the murder and overselling failed and completely offended the three-headed dragon, then Siegel's only choice is to side with Schiller, I heard that the duke's hand has been wooing them for a long time, which is exactly what he wants. Jonny fell into deep thought.

The political arena of the Duchy of Lorraine is currently divided into two factions. One faction was the radical faction led by Field Marshal Moore, and the other faction was the conservative faction led by Schiller, the Duke's hand.

The main disagreement between the two factions is their attitude towards the Holy See.

The political opinion of the radicals is to downplay the relationship with the Holy See and move closer to the Holy See of Darkness.

The conservative position is to maintain relations with the Holy See while maintaining the status of a neutral state.

General Capone was single-handedly brought up by Field Marshal Moore, and Merlin and Moore had been friends for many years, so the "three-headed dragon" was undoubtedly radical.

And Merlin's students developed a potion to resist the invasion of evil spirits, which directly threatened the core interests of the Holy Light Church, coupled with the ambiguous attitude of the Duke of Lorraine towards the Habs Empire, this kind of situation is enough to break the current balance of power, so that conservatives see the danger of defeat, and then carry out a crazy counterattack.

"Since you have chosen one side of the golden scales, then the Vipers, who have never stood in line, may also choose a side. Jonny muttered to himself.

The reason why the Medici family was able to become the rock that stood tall in the river of history was not because of the perennial wall, but because every time they chose a side, they could choose the winner's side.

"Prepare your horses and head to Chuck Street. ”

Serpent Marquis Jonny wants to show Siegel's group of guys what Medici's kindness is.

.........

Damian slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.

He washed up briefly, then left the house, and staggered to the store with the smell of the hangover from last night.

Walking to the door of the store, he saw that the shark Gazo was talking to a middle-aged man, and the usually unruly shark boss looked very respectful at this time.

"What is sacred?" After the events of last night, Damian was now very disgusted with these noble lords.

Seeing Damian coming, Shark Gazo hurriedly stepped forward, "Where have you been, the Marquis of Medici is standing here waiting for you all morning!"

"Wait for me in the morning, and I'll still be a marquis, higher than the earl title yesterday, right?"

Jonny stepped forward as well and held out his hand, "Hello, Damian, I'm Jonny. ”

Damian shook his hand perfunctorily, "Hello, I'm sorry I'll open the store first." With that, he walked past the two of them towards the shop.

Shark Gazo followed, "As soon as I returned to the city today, my subordinates reported that your store was surrounded by a cavalry regiment last night, and they were all ready to organize people to rescue you, but then it was okay, what happened?"

"It's hard to say, I'll tell you slowly in the future. Damian glanced back at Jonny who was following behind, "What about this man?"

"O Marquis Serpent Jonny. Shark Gazo replied in surprise, "You don't even know about the Medici?"

"Lorraine's aristocratic family of high society, I only know of a Fonn, by the way, and a Siegel. ”

"The 'Viper' Medici is only stronger than 'Griffin' Foern, and as for what Siegel is even worse, now there are some laymen who say that Siegel is the economic hand of the Duchy of Lorraine, it's a joke, just the spar trade, they will never be able to catch up with the Medici. ”

"Marquis Jonny is a good man. Shark Gazzo said in a low voice, "I have a good relationship with General Capone. ”

Damian gave him a blank look, thinking to himself that the standard by which you judge things is that Capone says good is really good, right?

As he spoke, the three of them had already entered the shop, and Jonny looked around with interest, especially the stone statues.

"Master Duncan's work has the rough art style peculiar to the dwarves, but the details are devilish, and you can see the compassionate eyes of this elven goddess, which is very much in line with the nature and peace of the Nasa elves. Jonny couldn't help but admire.

Damian looked at him in amazement and asked, "How do you know it's the work of Master Duncan?"

Jonny replied, "I've known Master Duncan since he was a blacksmith, and I was about your age at that time, and I liked to run around the dwarven blacksmith's shop, rubbing soot all over it, and going home inevitably beaten by the adults. ”

Jonny said vividly, and Damian became interested, "You are a noble young master, why do you like to go to the dwarf settlement?"

Jonny was not shy about it, he said: "The adults in the family were talking to the dwarves about the spar business at that time, and I saw that those dwarf uncles were grumpy at the negotiation table, and they flipped the table at every turn, wondering if they were doing the same ......in private."

"Unexpectedly, the dwarves are really straight-tempered, and they are just as unambiguous as they are about to lift the table with their wives and children at home. ”

Damian laughed when he heard this, in the Blackstone Tavern, he did not see drunk dwarves, and it was indeed their favorite to lift the table, for which the Blackstone Tavern specially posted a notice "It is forbidden to lift the table, and the offender will be fined 5 gold." ”

After some conversation, Damian was able to let down his guard against Jonny, but he also understood that a marquis had been waiting for him all morning, certainly not to talk to him about dwarven anecdotes.

"Lord Marquis, is there something you have come over today?" Damian took the initiative to stir up the topic.

Jonny sat down in a chair in front of the counter and said with a smile, "Boss Damian, this place is called the Dragon Selling House, of course I'm here to buy something." ”

"I heard that you are selling a potion called Black Dragon, which can effectively heal the invasion of evil spirits, and we Medici sincerely hope to buy this item. ”

Damian didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, it was only confirmed that the potion was effective last night, and someone came to the door early this morning to ask for it, who leaked it?

He instantly thought of Butchiko's abominable face.

Damian said quietly, "I heard, who did you say?"
