Victor's carriage disappeared at the end of the boulevard. Caterina put away the smile on her face, glanced at Sylvia, and then at Trisley next to her, and saw that they were still looking at the road where the carriage was moving, and couldn't help frowning slightly, looking preoccupied.

"Caterina, what do you want to ask?" asked Sylvia without looking back.

Caterina pursed her lips, her misty eyes immediately became firm, and she said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Victor built a large-scale church in Randall, but he didn't consult you in advance. He expressed his will and ambition very clearly...... I don't understand, why are you sharing the coinage rights of Kinsor with the Randall family?"

Sylvia turned gracefully and said to Caterina with a smile, "When His Majesty Clement visited Randall's Domain, Victor and I talked about building Randall's Cathedral. ”

"As for the coinage...... Sylvia walked along the boulevard in the direction of Goldwater City, her shoulders straight, her long blue skirt covering her boots, and her whole body gliding on the ground like a cloud, showing the grace and nobility of the queen. The well-trained sword-wielding guards quickly dispersed in all directions, Caterina and Trisley following her.

"The right to mint money should be exchanged for rock bricks. Rock bricks are an invention of the Randall family. Is there anything wrong with us sharing the minting rights with Victor?"

"But......" Katerina hesitated, but said, "However, Randall's Cathedral surpasses the scale of Goldwater City Cathedral, and fifty years of construction is enough to whet the appetite of the church...... It is true that the rock brick technology was provided by Victor, but he could not exchange the rock brick technology for the coinage rights...... Randall's territory is close to the port, there is a cathedral, and you have to give Victor the coinage rights of Kinsor, and there will be two central cities in the Centaur Hill!"

"Your Highness, allow me to advise you, I think you are spoiling Victor too much. Caterina half-knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said, "The coinage cannot be shared with the Randall family. ”

Sylvia stopped, turned around, picked up Caterina, and smiled, "I'm not here for you, the coinage is my dowry for you...... Wouldn't you love to be a Golden Bloodline, my dear? ”

Hearing this, Trisley's mouth immediately pursed, she was happy to have a child with Victor, but she didn't want the idea of the family's high-ranking female knight to fight Victor.

"Well, I take Victor as my brother. Katerina said indifferently.

It's nice to be a brother...... A hint of imperceptible joy rose in Tracery's pale blue eyes.

"Brother, what's the use of brother?" Sylvia rebuked in hatred, "The knight of the golden blood echoes the elemental sea. Giving birth to a golden bloodline is equivalent to priing open the door of the elemental sea, avoiding the process of life and death trials. Even if you can't make it to the Golden Level, you can still live to be 120 years old...... What's more, Victor tastes very tasty. She licked her red lips, raised her chin at Trisley next to her, and said coquettishly, "Don't believe me, you ask Trisley." ”

Trisley's face grimaced, and she turned in silence and stood still, pricking up her ears to hear Caterina's answer. If it was usual, she would have left long ago, so that Sylvia would not have let Sylvia laugh.

Caterina was playful, deliberately lengthened her voice, and muttered, "Really, then I'll have to reconsider...... But there's no need to worry, Victor will fall as soon as he pushes it anyway...... Isn't it, Trisley?"

Trisley was ashamed and annoyed, her face flushed, and she stomped her foot and snorted, "I don't know!"

Sylvia and Caterina laughed wildly, and the stiff atmosphere vanished. Caterina raised her hand and brushed her hair, and said softly: "Madam, Victor has comprehended the surge, and he will inevitably awaken the wind and become His Highness of the Golden Bloodline. Like you, I hope he will go further...... However, he is not His Highness after all, and it is still unknown whether we will be able to obtain the right to mint coinage...... Did you promise him too soon?"

"You think I'm doing it for myself?"

Silvia's teasing gaze made Caterina feel ashamed, and she quickly adjusted her mind and calmly stared at the eyes that were as long and pure as the sky.

Rock bricks are lightweight, strong, regular, easy to transport, easy to build, production raw materials can be found everywhere, and the production cost is low. According to the estimates of the scholars of the York family's secret castle, the construction period of producing rock bricks to build a castle is reduced by 40% on average and the cost is reduced by 7% compared to mining heavy limestone to build a castle, and it can also build castles in complex terrain, such as mounds and steep cliffs. This means that the liege's control over the territory has been qualitatively improved.

Especially in the era of great exploration, rock brick technology will make all the forces of the human kingdom crazy, and even cause war.

It was not possible, nor necessary, for the Yorks to monopolize the rock brick technology. The point is, what benefits should be gained in exchange for rock bricks?

In the beginning, the York family was isolated and sparsely populated. Sylvia plans to spend twenty years to cultivate her strength, and then build hundreds of rock brick castles and fortresses in one go, first holding the people and horses firmly in her hands, and finally using the rock bricks to negotiate with the major forces. However, Victor came up with water conservancy projects and new agriculture and animal husbandry, and the situation of the human kingdom changed abruptly, and the kingdoms turned from internal friction to external expansion. The power of the House of York has grown by leaps and bounds, and the Pope has formed an alliance with Goldwater City. Before Sylvia could make a strategic adjustment, Victor came up with another golden potion and a golden group. The common interest brought the House of York and the House of Augustus together. The House of York inexplicably fulfills what they have been pursuing for centuries - squeezing into the inner circle of the Kingdom of Gambis.

The more relaxed the external environment, the better the rock brick technology can be sold at a good price.

Based on the monetary theory proposed by Victor, Embiter proposed to exchange the rock bricks for the right to permanently mint money.

Victor believed that the ancient Sol Covenant would one day collapse and that gold and silver would circulate freely. But this was not in the interests of the House of York. Embiter gathered the scholars of the family, carefully studied Victor's monetary theory, and came to the conclusion that gold and silver could not circulate freely. For neither the Church nor the royal families will give up the right to mint gold and silver sols. The Church rules the lower classes with their faith, and the king rules the upper nobility with his blood, and no one has the power to overthrow the ancient Sol Covenant. Only new currencies such as Randall's Copperpenny will appear, such as silver pennies and gold pennies.

If the York family gets the permanent right to mint gold and silver soles, the benefits of the rock bricks can be maximized.

Embiter made a detailed plan to unite the major forces of the Gambis Kingdom as much as possible, and within three years, throw out expensive iron bricks and exchange the fine iron of the Centaur Hills for iron reserves. The lords of the Kingdom of Gambis would have welcomed this very well. Wait for the family's finances to weaken, and then come up with shocking rock bricks. Then, the kingdom of Gambis stepped in and summoned the royal family to force the church to revise the Sol Covenant. From then on, the royal family and the House of York were free to mint gold and silver soles without the arbitration of the Church and the Silver Tower, and the House of York enjoyed the right to mint coinage in perpetuity.

It's almost impossible for this plan to fail.

First of all, the free minting of money can alleviate the contradiction of the shortage of currency in circulation, which is in the fundamental interests of the royal family. If Auguste wanted to resist the Yorks' acquisition of coinage, they would be under pressure from both internal and external. Because the Great Lord of Gambis himself did not have the right to mint money, the most important thing was to get the technology of rock bricks.

Secondly, the Knights of Radiance have a deep connection with the Sarsan royal family, and they are also in desperate need of rock brick technology. Without the support of the Knights of Radiance, the Cardinal Council and the Presbyterian Order were powerless against the united secular lords.

The benefits of the Yorkist family in freehold coinage are obvious. Since then, the family has enjoyed the economic rights of the royal family, minting coins when there is no money, and the finances have been in a relaxed state for a long time. Even if the York family's secret gold mine and three silver mines were exhausted, they could still buy gold and silver ore from other families. What's more, there will always be gold and silver mines in newly opened territories.

Politically, the House of York was permanently equated with the royal family, and was able to attract the participation of knights and nobles. Coupled with the Rock Brick Fortress, Golden Elixir, and Alien War Beasts, the Yorks' roots are incomparably stronger and more difficult to shake.

Yes, all of this in the family was brought by Victor. Katerina is grateful for this, and she is deeply attracted to Victor's talent, blood, looks, mysterious, and soft personality. When Caterina is bored, she also fantasizes about talking to Victor to relieve her deadly loneliness. But private feelings are one thing, the political principles of the family are another.

Bishop Perrault brought the design of Randall's Cathedral to Black Castle, and when Caterina saw it, she immediately shuddered. Only then did she realize that under Victor's weak and handsome appearance, there was an ambition that did not live under others.

All this is the result of Sylvia's connivance. However, the scale and duration of the construction of Randall's Cathedral have reached the bottom of the York family!

Victor rushed over from Randall, and before he arrived in Goldwater City, Sylvia urgently summoned the family's high-ranking knights and inheritance scholars, and showed the report sent back by Alina in public, saying that Victor awakened the surging talent of the moon elves, and would inevitably be promoted to the golden bloodline, and he came for the shops in Wild Willow City, and asked: What does Victor want most?

The family's heir scholar replied that Victor wanted more than anything he could get. Since he had secretly formed the Golden Regiment, it meant that both the Golden Regiment and Yeliu City were available to him. And the free minting of money that he proposed was what he wanted most.

Sylvia said: Then share the right to mint the currency with Victor.

There was an uproar at the meeting, and the Duke of York was the first to oppose it, saying that he would rather give the shares of the family's shops in Wildwillow City, and even the Two-Headed Lizard Chamber of Commerce, to Victor to help him keep Lady Judy, rather than give him the right to mint money. Because, the York family's rock brick technology and gold potions, Victor has them, and he still has the will to be self-reliant, and if he gives him the right to mint currency, Blackcastle will not be able to restrain the Randall family. The top priority is to use Wild Willow City to stabilize Victor first, and then find a countermeasure, at least to get the permanent coinage right first. This plan can't be known to Victor!

Sylvia said: The family also has everything, so it needs the golden bloodline even more. I'd rather not have the benefits of the bricks than lose Victor!

The Golden Bloodline is, of course, the most important. Without noble bloodline, the family lacks centripetal force, and the larger the territory and the more wealth, the stronger the strife among the family members, and it is easy to disintegrate from within.

But can the coinage really satisfy Victor? He has already shown signs of self-reliance...... In case, if he used the rock brick technology to negotiate terms with the kite castle himself, wouldn't the family get nothing? Embiter's delaying strategy was the safest plan.

Unfortunately, Sylvia did not listen to the persuasion at all, and proposed two conditions to Victor with the coinage right:

First, except for Sophia, Catherine, and Gillian, it is not allowed to hook up with high-ranking female knights other than the York family.

Second, the abandonment of Yehliu City, which is not allowed to interfere with the layout of the kingdom against the Buryat family.

Victor immediately agreed and left happily.

Caterina couldn't understand it even more now, since you want to entrap Victor, then don't mention any conditions, just give him the right to mint currency, and then help him keep Judy, isn't it better? What's the point of mentioning these inexplicable conditions? Victor doesn't just push down, then have the energy to mess with flowers and grass outside? These are all the requirements of a female lord for her husband, and they are not at all the performance of a wise leader.

Katerina now suspects that Sylvia is already in love, and her IQ has plummeted.

"Honey, you made a mistake. ”

Sylvia saw through Caterina's thoughts, and smirked, "I know Victor better than you, he designed Randall's Cathedral to show off his architectural talent and artistic talent, just as he invented high heels, just to satisfy the aesthetic desires of the moon elves. He didn't even realize what it meant that Randall's Cathedral was larger than Goldwater City Cathedral?"

"Hmm. Trisley nodded approvingly, and her face once again flushed with shyness, looking particularly delicate and moving.

Caterina looked sympathetically at the two transcendent female knights in front of her, who were too close to the elemental sea and were so absorbed in the taste of worldly love that they had been fascinated by Victor.

What can I do?

Caterina shook her head and sighed, "The construction of Randall's Cathedral has begun...... In any case, Victor's design is enough to illustrate his ambitions. ”

"This is the result of my connivance, he is the man I have cultivated. Sylvia said happily, her blue eyes filled with undisguised pride.

"Caterina, your second mistake. You have not taken the right attitude towards a true Highness!"

"What?" Caterina looked at Sylvia in shock and asked hesitantly, "You mean, Victor? ”

"The bloodline has not yet reached the golden level...... But he is indeed a Gold-Tier Wind Marksman, and his strength is equal to that of a Gold-Tier Tempest Knight. Sylvia nodded solemnly and chuckled, "Victor has a secret that only I know...... His spiritual power can grow violently, and now he has reached the lowest level of Golden Knight spiritual power. Needless to say, my lover is a Gold-Rank Dasher, and if he comprehends the talent for wind talk, he will definitely be a legendary highness. ”

"See? Among the strong men of the human race, except for me and Turnans, no one can guarantee that he will be able to defeat Victor, at least not catch him. No matter how soft Victor is, his strength reaches this level, and it is inevitable that his character will become stronger. Randall's Cathedral is a logical fit. ”

Sylvia's eyes sparkled and she asked, "Is it my fault?"

"Of course it's your credit......," Caterina murmured, "We have two Highnesses of the House of York, or are they the most difficult ones?"

"That's right. Silvia bit her lip and said bitterly, "It stands to reason that I should live with Victor, but I have higher expectations for him, so I have no choice but to continue to indulge him for a while." However, Victor's weakness lies in his fragile body and beauty-loving nature. ”

"So there's the first condition, and he's not allowed to hook up outside?" asked Tracey anxiously, then bowing her head shyly.

"Yes. Sylvia nodded and said solemnly, "I only let a few of you high-ranking female knights know about this secret. The project on the other side of the Temperance Gate now needs to be guarded by a high-ranking knight with a water elemental affinity. Audrey, Ulena, and you, in pairs, take turns guarding the Temperance Gate to prevent the underwater fishmen from attacking the craftsmen who are rushing to repair the docks. I will create the conditions for you to be close to His Highness Randall, and as for whether you can seize the opportunity, whether you are willing to seize the opportunity or not is up to you. ”

The Golden Knights have an unrivalled attraction trait, and they simply have no chance of developing their own clan on their own. The high-ranking female knights of the faction are attracted to it first, and then the supreme power of the big family will be transferred to the golden knight. The entire force belongs to the Golden Knight, so why should he work so hard to develop his family. It's like the Marquis of Golon, who now wields the power of the House of August, his wife is Roland's aunt, and his son has the right to inherit the throne.

How could the House of York let His Highness Randall run away? What does it matter if Randall leads the construction of a cathedral? What does the right to mint money count for?

Caterina's mindset immediately changed, only to hear Trisley say, "Audrey and I were the first to go!"

The relationship between the Viscount Fred and the Duke is delicate and belongs to the position of mutual moderation. Caterina also doesn't want Audel and Ulena to get too close, and she approves of Trisley's arrangement.

Sylvia sighed and said with a calm look in her eyes, "I made a mistake too...... I believe that the woman Victor loves the most is me. This is determined by the bloodline nature of the Moon Elves who strive for perfection. With the purification of the blood of the Moon Elves, the gap in life levels will make Victor gradually alienate the mortal woman. Just like His Majesty Ravin, the companions who can finally accompany him are the Golden Knights. Judy's interests are insignificant in my eyes, and I don't need to greet Victor for this little thing in Yehwillow City, it's nothing more than to give Judy to him as a maid. ”

"Because of my insignificance, I almost fell into the trap of the Augustian family. Sylvia turned to Caterina and said, "Randall has a population of 100,000 and it makes sense to build a cathedral. But do you think that Archbishop of Téne can agree that Randall's Cathedral is larger than Blinor's Cathedral?"

"How did I forget about it...... Isn't it?"

Sylvia bowed her jaw and said, "What shouldn't have been agreed, Seon actually agreed." It's a pity that although Lazarus is gone, his connections are still there. Perot came to me with the blueprints of Randall's Cathedral, and I was also surprised. Perro also told me that the Mithril reserves in Blinor Cathedral were not enough to build a small circle in Randall's Church, and that it would take at least four months to mobilize Mithril from the El. Hehe, four months, won't I stop Victor from building a cathedral of astonishing size? Archbishop Tyan didn't give me time to react at all, where did his Mithril come from? ”

"Why did the royal family help Victor build Randall's Cathedral?"

Caterina took a breath and said gloomily, "For the sake of our quarrel with Victor. ”

"yes, it's a suspicion...... Duke Joshua happens to suggest that Primo's relationship with Victor will hinder the layout of Wildwillow. For such a trivial matter as bringing down Judy, I naturally don't need to inform Victor...... Hehe, there is a rift between the two sides, at this time, who will His Highness Randall turn to for help? His lover Catherine, and Margaret Wellington happened to take over the Wellington family's shop in Wildwillows. She and Victor have an affair. ”

"I ......," Caterina opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start.

"Don't worry, my dear, you're now the head mother of the York family, not the young lady of the Joshua family. Sylvia took Caterina's hand, smiled and reassured, and said, "Duke Joshua may not know. ”

Trisley's cold and pleasant voice came from the side, "Sylvia, since August wants to compete with us for His Highness Randall, why do you want Victor to give up Wildwillow City?"

Sylvia was silent for a moment, shook her head and said, "I've always suspected that there is a wizard in the Kite Castle who can improve the bloodline, and it is very likely that Victor's Moon Spirit was purified by him. Because Victor's mother is in the same situation as Queen Irene. But how can Victor's father be compared to the Golden Knight? Victor's mother's early death is enough to explain the situation. I speculate that the bloodline of Victor's Moon Elves has not progressed for a long time, and the Augustian family has abandoned him. Victor awakens to his talent, and August wants to get him back......"

"It was I who made His Highness Randall what he is now, how can I allow Victor to leave me!"

Sylvia's long hair fluttered without the wind, like a real spiritual power that overshadowed both Caterina and Trisley.

The Spirit Knight calmed down and said with a faint smile: "I'm worried that Auguste's wizard will leave countermeasures on Victor, and the worst case scenario is to destroy his bloodline...... Maybe he might be able to raise his bloodline and promote the Sun Elf! I can't risk it...... So, I tolerate Catherine's pursuit of Victor, and I can tolerate Auguste's petty means of separating me from Victor. So, we have to pretend not to know and get Victor to give up Wildwillow. ”

"I see. Caterina said convincingly: "Your Highness, if you give Victor the right to mint coins, he will never say it." Auguste's attempt to win him over with the shops in Willow City would only be a joke. Everyone can see that His Highness Randall is unshakable and loyal to your feelings!"

"His relationship with me is unshakable!" Sylvia rolled her eyes and pouted, "It's true that I'm loyal to him, and he's ...... me Hmph!"

"It doesn't matter if you give August a child of golden blood, if they can get Victor to be promoted to the Sun Elf, give them two...... But Victor must belong to me, only to me!"
