Chapter 425: Each Has Its Own Will

"Lord Eckert Wimbledon, one of the five leaders of the Bucks Merchant Circle. You've seen him once in the Marquis's Palace, I don't know if you remember......"

Sophia took Victor's arm and walked through the garden, saying as she went, "Eckert is in charge of six caravanserais, and they are in charge of a trade route from the southeastern territory of Doddor to the Neville Basin. He traveled back and forth between the Dwemick family's Rock City and the Smirlow family's Iron Ridge City all year round, and rarely returned to Blinor. ”

There is no memory of Lord Eckert in the little baron's will. He's an inconsequential passerby. But Eckert is currently in the hands of Victor. As for his specific itinerary and location, Victor does not know.

The gold recovery potion has a great deal to do with the knight family, and Victor's use of it to lay out the strategy of the golden group will definitely cause the York family to investigate and secretly investigate. The effect of the recovery potion is against the sky, and Victor can't think of a perfect way to whitewash it. No matter how he laid it out, there would be a flaw in Sylvia's eyes.

The black pen traces the white paper, and the more you draw it, the darker it becomes. Pretend to be smart in front of smart people, and the more you pretend to be stupid, the more stupid you become.

Since this is the case, then simply leave it out and let the smart people make up for it by themselves.

Victor made a request to Balor, but did not ask for details of the execution. The old spy didn't know the true value of the recipe, and his plan must be full of holes. Sylvia asked, but Victor didn't know, didn't explain, and didn't hand over. As long as Sylvia can't give up the huge benefits of the recovery potion and the Golden Regiment, the York family will naturally cover up the source of the formula for Victor and promote the development of the Golden Regiment, ensuring that the energy of key medicinal materials continues to flow from Arret to the Centaur Hills.

Victor had a lot of thought in his plan to fill in the gaps. He's absolutely sure.

Isn't that what the rock bricks are?

Sylvia just didn't say anything, and Victor knew it.

The technology of the Alchemy Empire must be taken out and used, and there is no possibility of strict secrecy. Alchemical creatures are Victor's core secret. Sylvia had visited the Secret Castle of the Hills, and the alchemy humans had been dangling in front of her more than once, but she had not been able to find anything abnormal, and Victor had nothing to worry about.

"Eckert? not impressed...... Go ahead, dear. Victor shook his head honestly. He did not know Lord Eckert.

"The Borui used violent means to intimidate the outlying members of the Stag Merchant Order in the Kingdom of Dordor and force them to join the Southwind Chamber of Commerce. However, the high-level leaders of the Bucks Chamber of Commerce resolutely resisted the oppression of the Nanfeng Chamber of Commerce. Eckert is one of them. Because he bears Wimbledon's last name...... It is almost impossible for the Southwind Chamber of Commerce to reuse Wimbledon of the Bucks Merchant Order, unless they are willing to give up their nobility. ”

Sophia continued, "Eckert personally sat in Ascending Rock City and secretly clashed with the minions of the Southwind Chamber of Commerce. More than two months ago, he abruptly left Ascending Rock City, taking only a few henchmen with him. But Eckert reported to me the reason for the desertion. The letter stated that he had intercepted an important piece of information concerning the transactions of the Borui and the Lords of Dord. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, and being hunted down by the Dwemick family and the Bore, Lord Eckert plans to hide his whereabouts and secretly sneak back to Blinor. Twice he reported his trip to the Marquis's Court with a red-eyed raven. He was last seen on the southern border of the Kingdom of Dord. It stands to reason that he should have entered the Gambis more than a month ago...... But Eckert has not been heard from since. I'm sure he's missing. ”

"You didn't send the knight of the Marquis's Court to fetch him?" asked Victor.

"It's sent, but I haven't found anyone at all...... Eckert brought three released crows, and we had to keep in touch with him in a single line. How do you let my knight answer him?"

Sophia shook her head and sighed, "You also know the situation at Wimbledon in Gambis, we pass on by family name rather than blood. Each generation of marquis and their successors were hardly immediate family members...... I, the Marquis, don't even have Wimbledon blood. Lords like Eckert and Abel also don't have Wimbledon blood. In fact, they traded under the name of Wimbledon, and were not loyal to the Marquisate's Court. ”

"Do you suspect that Eckert took refuge in the Borui people, and that he deliberately faked his death by disappearing and faking his death to save his family and title?"

Sophia nodded and said, "It's very likely. Whether Eckert was really killed by the Borui or betrayed me, it turned out just as badly. If the noble leaders of the Bucks Merchant Group all suffer from accidents, the Merchant Group will soon fall apart. With that, Sophia leaned into Victor's arms and said softly, "Honey, you promised to help me...... I'm sure you'll help me, but I must go to the kingdom of Dodor now. ”

Victor put his arm on Sophia's shoulders, looked directly into the purple eyes, and said in a deep voice, "At the invitation of Count Hora Ludwig?"

The little husband is good at everything, but he is jealous and always sees his partner as his vassal and does not allow others to get involved. But this also shows that he is emotional, and he is very attached to himself.

Sophia felt helpless and had some sweetness. She bit her red lip lightly and said aggrievedly: "Didn't I refuse Ludwig's gentlemanly gift? Why don't you believe me? Accepting the invitation is just an excuse for a foreign visit." I need to meet His Majesty Friedrich. Regardless of whether or not there is progress in my negotiations with King Dodor, I will be able to stabilize the hearts and minds of the Bucks merchants. ”

Dord's envoys repeatedly expressed their admiration for the Marquess of Wimbledon on several occasions, both in public and private, and in accordance with the courtship etiquette of a knight, gave Sophia a set of jewelry and invited her to visit the Ludwig family.

The dispute over the Blue Amber Hotel has made Hora a laughing stock in aristocratic circles. Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but Hora admitted that she was rude, mistaking Viscount Randall for a noblewoman, and praised the Moon Elf nobles for their unparalleled beauty. According to his words, the person who should be embarrassed is Viscount Randall.

Sylvia is in the city of Blinor. Who among the nobles of Gambis would dare to laugh at her lover for being like a noblewoman? Envoy Dordor had already apologized and paid a ransom of 50,000 gold soles, and it would be a little too much to talk about it.

The turmoil at the Blue Amber Hotel soon subsided. Hora triumphed at her wit.

However, how could the Blue Sparrow family let the Earl of the Golden Sparrow family pass the test easily? A basin of dirty water was splashed.

It wasn't long before there were rumors in the city of Blinauer that Count Hora Ludwig was a good man and not a woman. said that he is still unmarried but has two beautiful female probationary knights, just to hide his character flaws. Otherwise, why does he always praise Viscount Randall's looks?

This rumor is not only disgusting, but also vicious.

Knights who cannot reproduce bloodlines have no status in the family. Edward August was crowned king, and envoys from all over the world gathered in the city of Blinor. Once the rumors spread, the impact was very bad.

Hora finally panicked, and after some consideration, he began to openly express his admiration for Sophia, trying to turn the Blue Amber Hotel turmoil into a rivalry between two male nobles.

Reproduction of bloodlines is always a big problem for knights and nobles. The aristocratic circles greatly despised the deranged knights, but the pursuit of heterosexual partners by knights was a matter of good talk. Regardless of whether the other person is married or not, the knight has the right to express affection, and if the other person refuses to be courted, he must not be stalked. As long as this is done, it is a romantic gentleman's love, and both parties will be praised by the aristocratic circle, including the partner of the courted party.

You are very good, but my lover rejected you, which means that I am better than you. If you dare to die, believe it or not, the white gloves will smash you in the face? What? My lover promised you...... White gloves smash you in the face!

On the other hand, Hora had not yet courted Sophia, and Viscount Randall had a hand with him. In fact, he was making a mockery of Victor's narrow-mindedness and lack of gentlemanly demeanor. Sophia, of course, would not accept the courtship of Count Ludwig. In case she accepts, Hora will have a big deal to surrender to Victor and admit defeat, anyway, she will fight, lose, lose, and lose her money, and no one can laugh at him anymore.

Hora was very good at calculus, but she didn't know that she had completely offended Victor. Of course, he didn't care even if he knew, after all, it was Victor who tore his face first.

Count Ludwig did this mainly to eliminate the negative impact of the conflict with Victor. But he may not have had other thoughts.

Sophia is so beautiful, to say that Hora has no idea about her, Victor ten thousand don't believe it.

The atmosphere of the aristocratic circle is like this, and it is useless for Victor to regain his anger. Some noble ladies deliberately find someone to court, accept a gentleman's gift, and then elegantly refuse, so as to raise their worth. Gillian has been courted by more than thirty people, and she also shows Victor a gentleman's gift. Victor was furious, bought it all at a high price, melted it into a ball, and threw it into the Jinshui River.

Sophia's suitors are not a hundred but eighty, and she has already given Victor enough face by rejecting Hora's gentlemanly gift.

The gentleman's gift is a medal of charm for a female knight and a threshold for knightly courtship. The female knight refuses to court, accepts the gift, and recognizes the nobility and sincerity of the suitor. Rather, it is contempt for the suitor.

"Yes, you turned down Ludwig's gentlemanly gift...... For the past few days, his face has been ugly. Victor let go of Sophia, looked her in the eye, and asked, "If that idiot helps you solve the South Wind Chamber of Commerce and just asks for a one-night pleasure, will you agree or not?"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled, "My dear, your jealousy is terrible...... Do you think Hora has what it takes?"

"What if Friedrich asks you for love, what are you going to do?" Victor's gaze became unfathomable and aggressive.

Sophia was furious and said with a cold face: "Victor, you treat me as your personal belongings, it's too much! If King Duoduo pesters me, will you throw white gloves for me?"

This question was like a sharp arrow that nailed Victor in place. He bowed his head in contemplation, and Sophia's face was dark. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was dull and cold.

After a long pause, Victor looked up and sighed, "Embiter is right...... He said that I was too greedy and always wanted to take my partner for myself, but he didn't understand that high-ranking female knights are strong first, and then women...... The strong need respect, and if you want to leave me, I respect your choice. But I want to know, in your mind, who is more important, Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce or me?"

Sophia's heart was sour, she took Victor's hand and said apologetically, "Don't be angry, dear. I was in a hurry just now,......" she bit her lip and said softly, "I'm very happy to have me in your heart." Although the high-ranking female knights want to get you, they are not willing to leave you. However, as a Silver Rank Transcendent, you must learn to respect our will. You want me to submit to you, unless you become a powerhouse above the Golden Rank. Perhaps, there is another way......"

Sophia put her arms around Victor's neck and smiled sideways, "Give me a child...... No, two. You give me two children, and I will always serve you, please you, and belong to you alone. ”

Victor was overjoyed, wrapped his arms around Sophia's waist, and said with a smile: "Isn't this simple? We will definitely have children...... Just wait for my bloodline to be purified and completely stabilized. ”

"Simple, are you sure?" Sophia raised her eyebrows and shook her head with a smile: "The more powerful the transcendent creature, the more difficult it is for the heir." His Majesty Ravin had five Golden Knight companions and gave birth to six heirs. Except for the Empress of Iron Mountain, who gave birth to a pair of twins, the other highnesses all have only one child. ”

"Your Moon Elf bloodline is still being purified, and everyone is expecting you to become the second Sun Elf. The female knights surround you and pamper you just to get a place in advance. Suppose you let them see no hope, who would want to waste their lives in endless waiting? ”

"Ah...... You, do you see it all?" Victor stammered, dumbfounded.

Sophia pursed her lips, let go of her arm, and said angrily: "When the Kite Castle held a feast, so many high-ranking female knights were aiming at you, except for Sylvia, me, and Judy, you only made eye contact with Catherine. Are you blind to us? Roland is not so fierce to you because you beat Edward's mother's idea. ”

"You don't have to worry. Roland did not give a clear warning that she supported Catherine in her pursuit of you. Sophia's tone was languid, but her slender hand twisted her husband's waist.

"You haven't answered my question head-on. Victor rubbed his waist and grinned.

Sophia looked at Victor for a while, and said seriously: "I have stepped on thorns and thorns along the way, and I have never let go of what I have grasped! If I can't catch the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, I have to hold you firmly." ”

"My dear husband, you don't want to get rid of me! ”

"Are you satisfied with the answer?"

Victor exhaled and said meaningfully, "Very satisfied!"

Sophia was free and easy, and never asked Victor rhetorically: Who is more important, Randall or her?

As a man, how could Victor's magnanimity and open-mindedness be inferior to his own woman?

Emotional factors aside, Sophia will play an important role in Victor's plan. Her position determines Victor's attitude.

When Sylvia got the recovery potion, it was the moment when the golden group turned from darkness to light. If the Golden Regiment wants to develop, it must unite with the powerful lords who master the business path. Therefore, it needs an agent on the surface.

Sophia is a worthy candidate.

She has the ability to reduce the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce to zero, turn from light to dark, and instantly enrich the strength of the Golden Regiment. Only in this way can the Golden Regiment be affirmed by the Lords of Strength.

On the other hand, Sophia abandoned the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, and the fundamental contradictions between her and the royal family disappeared. Kite Castle will not deprive her of the title of Marquis, because her husband is Victor. The House of Augustus would welcome a marquis of the royal capital with an ancient bloodline. Moreover, their mastery of Victor's descendants is conducive to strengthening the influence of the Kite Castle on the Centaur Hills.

Sofia's position is secure, and she will also dominate the Golden Regiment over Victor.

Of course, it is in the best interests of Victor to personally take charge of the Golden Regiment. However, compared to the Golden Regiment, Victor's lair is more important.

Victor has mastered the main materials of the dragon vein elixir, and can continue to cultivate loyal family elites. If Pinghu Town can get the casting right of Copper Sol, Victor has the technology of fire crystal furnace, and the casting of Copper Sol will only make money and not lose money, plus the two cornucopia of the Joint Stock Chamber of Commerce and Yeliucheng. The transformation efficiency of the Golden Regiment's human and financial resources has been diluted by Randall.

In the long run, with the strength of the Alchemy Tower and the Randall family, it will not be difficult for Victor to rebuild a golden regiment. But in his heart, Victor doesn't want to go toe-to-toe with Sophia one day. She has no chance of winning, she is still so beautiful, and her temperament is stubborn, once she breaks up, it will be difficult for the relationship between the two to be bridged. And all this was caused by Victor.

Aside from the love of husband and wife, Victor has few means to restrain her.

"My dear, don't rush to the Kingdom of Dodor. I already have a vague idea that can help you get out of this situation once and for all. Victor paused, shook his head, and said, "I still need a little more time to refine this idea." ”

"Really?"

Sophia's eyes lit up, and she said suspiciously: "You're not making me happy, are you? ”

"Uh...... The key to solving the problem is still the lack of loyalty of the Bucks business group. Victor had to take out some dry goods and order her.

"Not loyal enough?" Sophia frowned, thought for a long time, and finally asked in a silky voice, "Honey, can you be specific?"

"Don't use your talent for seduction. Now my mind is all about you...... I forgot all about it!"

Victor knocked his head in annoyance. Immediately afterwards, the slightly cool red lips were imprinted on the mouth, and the soft tongue crossed into the mouth, and the sweet taste was intoxicating.

After kissing her husband for a long time, Sophia licked her delicate red lips and asked with a smile, "Do you remember it now?"

"It's too bad to forget about it. ”

"Hmph! To help you remember, you slept alone tonight!"

"Oh, think about it a little more. We need to enlist Sylvia's support first, or if she cuts off Neville's trade with the Bucks merchants, you'll have to be the Viscountess of Randall. ”

"yes, that's the most critical question. ”

Sophia was sad, like Xizi holding her heart, and asked delicately, "When are you going to find her?"

Victor gave up his plans to run the X-3 and silently appreciated the beauty of the charm talent, saying, "Today, the Senate has held a meeting to discuss the Fish-Man War and the establishment of the port. Sylvia must be in the Senate, and I'll go see her. Honey, are you still satisfied with my attitude?"

"Of course. Tonight, Natalia and I will be preparing a family dinner and waiting for my love's return. Sophia lifted her skirt and gave grace.

"It's funny to say, the same Marquis of the Royal Capital, we don't have a seat in the Senate. Victor shook his head and walked towards the inner mansion of the Marquis's Palace.

Before leaving the garden, Victor paused, turned around and said, "That's right. If King Dodor dares to stalk you...... I will kill him. ”

Looking at her little husband's confident and powerful back, Sophia only felt that the sunshine in the Houfu Garden was unprecedentedly bright.
