5 Frederick's morality
When Otto realized that "it is better to kill him seriously than to know it", Frederick's secret words came: "How many minutes are left?"
"Two minutes and thirty seconds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Otto retorted viciously: "Visually that woman has a D cup Oh, there are only two minutes left, can you finish eating! Chew your underwear raw, you just wait for indigestion, stupid brother!"
Suddenly, the curtain of the royal carriage was lifted, and a small snow-white hand with an emerald green agate chain stretched out and beckoned vigorously.
Frederick ignored the pained Otto, and hurriedly pressed the decorative sword at his waist, trotted under the carriage window, and through the gap in the curtains, only Lily's sharp chin could be seen.
Lily stooped down to see Frederick coming, hurriedly stuffed a ball of swollen fabric from under the curtain to him, and hurried to the window and said, "Don't show it to anyone, and don't tell anyone." ”
"How many ounces?" Frederick's heart fluttered, and he decided to pay for the gold.
Lily asked through the curtains, "You said it, you agreed to any price." ”
"Everything in the world. You can say yes. "Frederick valued heritage more than anything else.
"Your coat is so warm. Let's exchange it for a coat. The female officer said through the drooping curtains.
Scrooge Frederick quickly calculated that the red Earl's coat was lined with mink velvet, 2 ounces of gold thread strokes, and high-grade thick velvet, and its price was conservatively estimated to be 4 ounces of gold, equivalent to 4 gold coins.
It's so distressing that I'm like a knife.
Happily, the less fabric the women's clothing is, the more extravagant it is, and this expensive underwear is only slightly cheaper than the coat of the Van Krange aristocracy. Besides, completing the task can directly bring 300 ounces of gold to the account! After redeeming William's Manor, there is still a huge sum of 100 ounces of gold left!
I can finally have a good meal!
Frederick settled the account in a second, and then immediately agreed: "My pleasure, Mademoiselle. ”
"Goodbye then, Your Highness the Earl. Keep it a secret. Lily hurriedly said goodbye and summoned the maid to board the carriage and urge the horse. Frederick was pardoned, and ran to Otto with his booty in his hands.
Otto gritted his teeth and said with jealousy: "Brother, there is still a minute and thirty seconds, and you may not have time to eat this underwear......"
Then Otto saw Frederick holding the round underwear that was still warm, burying his head in it, like a long whale sucking a hundred rivers, taking a deep breath and sniffing the mountains and seas.
Otto's eyes fell, his jaw fell to the ground, and he was stunned, the "restrained and weak brother" in his heart shattered to the ground, and a "wise and martial brother" rose from the ground.
Then Frederick put it away, waved his hand away, and shouted arrogantly: "See? See? The trial is complete! Young brother, do you think that a mere trial can defeat me? No one can stop me from inheriting the inheritance!"
Otto stared at Frederick's domineering back in amazement, and heard him shouting repeatedly: "No one!"
Then Otto chased after him indignantly, pestering his brother to protest: "Damn, you told Lily that you wanted to eat!
Frederick pushed him away: "Seeing people talk about people, talking about ghosts, this is my rule!
"Well, brother. ”
"What's the matter?"
"What about incorruptibility, my brother has discarded his precious qualities for the sake of 300 ounces of gold, and he has not hesitated to abandon his twenty years of integrity and shame! From a greedy and weak and useless person with a choice disorder, to a delinquent young man who has no temperance and no incurable incurability!" Otto tried to hurt Frederick who was victorious.
"Listen, I haven't changed at all, and I'll stick to my principles until the day my principles change. Frederick said viciously, poking his brother in the chest.
Otto opened his mouth wide, feeling that his brother's ability to play with words had reached the point where he could not parry.
"And the festival is like a winter coat, which sooner or later has to be put on the shelf. Frederick muttered and walked away, "Let's face it, we all know that when we are weak, we will do our best to keep our morality, and we don't have time to care about this luxury!"
"Morality?" asked Otto.
"Yes, morality. Everyone has a moral standard line in their hearts, and if this bottom line is exceeded, the brave may defect for loyalty, the coward may fight for his beloved, and the butcher may stop because of compassion. That's morality. Frederick poked himself in the chest and declared categorically: "And being a wise lord is the morality I want to abide by! I want the Bafarian farmers to plow the land steadily, the Bafarian blacksmiths to work profitably, the Bafarian prostitutes to receive customers safely, and the wealth created by the people to belong to them instead of being drained by damn inflation, this is the morality I want to abide by! Otto, the truly powerful lord, is not a warlord who crusades from east to west, but an idealist who can protect the wealth of the people!"
Otto stared at his brother's back and muttered as if awakened from a dream, "So you will do whatever it takes to fight for the inheritance." So you are desperate to become the supreme lord of Bafaria, Lord William, Count Frederick!"
"So, my dearest brother, do you know what morals you ought to abide by?"
"What is it?"
"Give me the damn 300 ounces of gold and tell me what the rest of the legacy is. ”
Otto stood still, and he said softly, "I'll give it to you after I take out 300 gold coins." As for the next inheritance, it is what you need most urgently at the moment - the high-grade imperial soldier inherited by the William family, with a two-handed sword, and an ideal messenger. ”
Frederick's eyes widened.
An emperor-level weapon that can exert terrifying power in the hands of well-trained Van Knight nobles, the ideal messenger is the sword that my grandfather used to fight. Tens of thousands of people have witnessed the use of this imperial sword by Archduke William to cut through the walls of the enemy.
When the Grand Duke wielded his great sword, the sword trail fell to the earth like a round hook moon, and the enemy's city wall was cut to pieces by the sword technique that fell from the sky, and the bricks and stones burst out, and the earth-shattering dull sound lasted for a full ten seconds, splitting the wall into a straight and erect rift, like a gap in the front teeth.
That battle made it clear to the world that there would be no more fortified cities in the world in front of Fort William's power sword, and this ruined sword made Duke William of Bafaria famous on the mainland.
This is an imperial soldier who broke through the formation and destroyed the city, and it is a symbol of the martial arts and lords of the William family.
To establish the prestige and prestige of the first heir, this sword must be possessed. This one-of-a-kind Imperial Soldier will allow the young Earl to increase his appeal by leaps and bounds, quickly winning the allegiance of Bafaria's army and vassals.
But this power sword has been missing for 7 years, and I am afraid that no one knows its whereabouts anymore except for the vanished Duke William.
Whether or not you can exert the power of the imperial soldier is one thing, and whether you have the fate to wear the family imperial soldier is another crucial matter.
Frederick asked eagerly, "Then what are the conditions for the next level of trial?"
"I'm not going to tell you yet. Otto said calmly.
Frederick frowned and raised his head, and an unprecedented sense of crisis came to his face. He had a strong premonition that even more terrible trials awaited him.
