In the dead of night, Sophia sat alone at the dresser.

The Randalls' dinner was over, and the guests returned to their respective guest villas satisfied. As the titular matriarch of the Randall family, she lives in the lord's mansion as a matter of course.

This spacious bedroom was luxurious and comfortable, but much more modest than the Marquis of Wimbledon's Court, but it was only one of more than 300 rooms in the Lord's Mansion, and the magnificent Silvermoon Manor was just a barren mountain and valley four years ago.

Covering an area of more than 6,000 acres, Yinyue Manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the landscape of the perfect integration of nature and humanity is unique, and the atmosphere is graceful, like the palace described in the bedtime story.

The most amazing thing is that the Randall family only spent 12,000 gold soles to build Silvermoon Manor, of which 5,000 gold soles were still paid to the architect Lord Anthony. When the guests heard about the cost of Silvermoon Manor, they were all in disbelief. Princess Angel said with envy that she was willing to exchange 500,000 gold soles for the design drawings of the giant brick kiln. The Duke of Embiser York, however, said proudly: "It's not a matter of money!"

It's really not about money.

Giant brick kilns made durable, lightweight mud bricks extremely cheap, and with cheap building materials, any architect could bring a fairy-tale palace to life. What's more, the hills have to rely on the green brick industry to maintain the construction progress of water conservancy projects.

Swap dirt for money...... That's a brilliant idea!, Sophia thought to herself.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Sophia didn't look back, and said lazily: "Dear little Victor, you forgot to knock on the door." ”

"The Randall family rule is that a husband doesn't need to knock when he enters his wife's bedroom. Victor walked in with a smile, "Also, beautiful lady, your husband would be happier if you could get rid of that 'little' word." ”

Sophia was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "And this kind of unetiquette family rules?"

"It didn't work, but now it is. ”

Reflecting Victor's imposing appearance in the mirror, Sophia sneered, turned around and said, "I thought you would be with Sylvia or Nicole tonight." ”

Sophia's red lips are raised, the pear vortex is shallow, her clear purple eyes are as clear as crystal, and she is wearing a short spider silk nightdress, revealing a pair of beautiful snow-white long legs, and her graceful body looms and is extremely seductive.

Victor secretly praised: It's really a stunner.

"Can I understand my wife's jealousy?" his gaze swept back and forth over Sophia's red lips, crisp breasts, slender waist, plump buttocks, and long legs, above board and unabashedly.

"If I say jealousy, will you believe it?" Sophia rested her cheek with one hand, the opening of her chest showed a touch of snow white and deep, her slender legs overlapped and entangled, she changed her sitting posture slightly, and naturally exuded the ultimate elegance and charm.

Looking at Victor's handsome face and aggressive gaze, Sophia couldn't help but laugh and smug a little.

The two have both the name of husband and wife and the reality of husband and wife, and it is reasonable for anything to happen, and a little ambiguity only adds to the fun and is harmless. Don't look at Victor's menacing appearance, in fact, he is not lethal, but tender and delicious, and can be ravaged at will.

What's more, Victor is delicate and handsome, like a weak teenager of 16 or 7 years old, and the small whirlpools around him from time to time add a mysterious temperament.

The beauty and elegance of the elves, the weak and mysterious temperament, the noble blood but not as domineering and dangerous as the golden knight, all these have a great attraction for the high-ranking female knights. Sophia also had to admit that the current Victor really made her heartbroken, and as for his lover on the left and right, it was also helpless. When Victor was in the royal capital, he was not also sought after by high-ranking female knights.

The pursuit of high blood is the maternal instinct of female knights, and if this motivation is lost, the entire knightly regime will collapse, and the knightly class will gradually die. As the saying goes, dragons do not live with snakes, and once the high-ranking female riders who occupy a dominant position in the family give birth to the family heir, they often choose to stay away from their weak bloodline husbands and pursue high-blooded golden knight partners, but the golden knights are strong and domineering, and it will never be a pleasant experience to be with them. Most high-ranking female knights can only live a lonely life.

Although, the Transcendent Knight can solve the bottom **, but this is not the right thing to do.

The High Knights, who have rejected humanity, are destined to be assimilated by the Elemental Sea, and that is no different from death.

Due to the physical and psychological differences, the male knights are responsible for defending the family and forging ahead, while the female knights are responsible for reproduction and raising offspring. Compared with male knights, they have a weaker belief in protecting their territory, and marriage, love, and children are important sustenance.

The sustenance and ties of the world are like kite strings, pulling high-level knights to swim in the elemental sea, and each time they cut a thread, their understanding of the origin of the world is more profound, which is related to the future path of the golden knight.

The belief that male knights are guarding the pioneers is extremely strong, and they can first part with love, marriage, and children's affection, and then slowly rebuild after returning. High-ranking female knights focus on the children of the family, but unfortunately most of the high-ranking female knights are very lonely. It is for this reason that the number of female Golden Knights is much lower than that of male Golden Knights.

Including the legendary paladins, there are currently a total of 59 Golden Knights in the human realm, of which only 7 are women. And Sylvia and Roland, they are a special case within a special case.

The Elemental Sea is always open to the Divine Knights, and it is constantly infecting the Divine Knights' elemental slots. Sylvia will not be easily assimilated by the Elemental Sea, but she must always maintain a mortal mentality, otherwise it is difficult to say whether she will live to be 120 years old.

As for Roland, she is a rare adventurer, an explorer, not a guardian. She is curious and passionate about everything in the mortal world, and if the guardians only have a dozen kite strings connected to the world, then the adventurers have at least hundred. It is almost impossible for adventurers to be lost in the power of the Elemental Sea. They always explore the laws of the real world first, and then find the corresponding origin laws in the elemental sea. In layman's terms, the real world in all its varieties is more attractive to Roland.

However, adventurers are an unstable factor for the family, and no one knows when they will run away and wander or do something jaw-dropping.

This knowledge was imparted to Sophia by Queen Seuss, and Eleano didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the barbarians, she was very interested in Sophia, to be precise, in the bloodline of the Juggernaut. Queen Cynthia told Sophia that as long as she could help the Eleano family obtain the Juggernaut bloodline, the Seuss Kingdom would be her strong backing, and she could even be canonized as the Grand Duke of the Kingdom.

Sophia was preoccupied with the affairs of the Eleano family, and the current situation of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce was enough for her to worry about. However, the knowledge and information that Cynthia conveyed was valuable, at least allowing her to see what the way forward.

The Sabertooth Tiger Merchant Group may not be enough to save me from being assimilated by the Elemental Sea, but if I add marriage and family, I may be able to take the most crucial step. But Victor is no longer what he used to be, will he ever love me again? If he really cares about me, he will do everything he can to keep me in the Randall family and be his wife. What about the business I worked so hard to create?

Thinking of this, Sophia sighed faintly and said, "I'm really a little jealous of Nicole, as long as she supports you wholeheartedly, you don't have to think about anything...... To be honest, I had a hard time doing that. ”

Although the two are legally husband and wife, they each have their own followers, and it is impossible for either to easily convince the other. Randall's Domain, plus Barony Phinicos, totaled more than 80,000 people living under Victor's wing. There are more than 90,000 core members of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce plus peripheral members.

In family politics, marriage and career are closely related, but if you have to make a choice, you must choose a career.

Victor is well aware of this, and his goal is clear: to swallow the backbone of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce and strengthen the power of the Golden Regiment. This peerless stunner can only be regarded as an add-on. As for whether she can achieve the pinnacle...... Sylvia had hoped for her, but now...... No one cares except Sophia herself.

"I wasn't with Nicole just now. Lord Boris of House Solim has spoken something to me, and he has asked for help from our Randalls, and I have come to ask for your opinion. Victor thought about it and decided to appease Sophia first.

"Boris Solim, first in line to the Marquis of Solim?" asked Sophia, surprised.

"Hmm. Victor nodded and said, "You should know something about the situation of the Solim family, the old marquis, who has little time to live, cannot control the situation of the family, and Boris is worried that their eldest son will be purged by competitors, so he begs me to help them." ”

Sophia raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to intervene in the internal affairs of the Solim family? ”

"That's right. Victor smiled: "Boris did not ask me excessively, he only asked me to shelter his young son and young daughter, and if the eldest son can survive the family struggle, the two children will be our attendants, crowning the surname of the Randall family." In the unlikely event that something happens to Boris and his bloodline, he hopes that while we invade the Southern Continent in the hills, his youngest son will be able to obtain a small fief and inherit the family name of the Solim family. To this end, he is willing to offer our Randall family a contribution of 100,000 gold soles. ”

"You promised?"

"Yes. I've asked Alina to arrange for Boris's children to live in Silvermoon Manor first. ”

Sophia frowned and said, "Why do I think there's a problem?"

Victor smiled faintly: "Those two children are quite talented, and 100,000 gold sol really makes me tempted." However, ......" changed his voice, and added: "This was originally a secret agreement, and Boris did not have any means to restrain me. So, he's using my reputation to get my opponents to throw a mouse...... Hmph, I took my illegitimate child who had no inheritance to visit Randall, but went back alone, who doesn't know that Viscount Randall took in Boris's children? Only he took the initiative to give up the title of marquis, and with my reputation, it was okay to save a life. Before the truth is revealed, Boris can be confident and bold to fight the careerists. ”

"Viscount Randall's reputation is more than 100,000 gold soles and two noble children. Therefore, I also put forward a condition. The Randall family purchased Softsilver ore from the Marquis of Solim at a price slightly lower than that of stone, with no restrictions on the volume of transactions and a period of no less than 20 years. ”

"Honey, are you really going to use Softsilver ore as stone?" said Sophia, mockingly.

"No way. Victor spread his hands and looked helpless, "The centaur hills lack stones, and the Solim family probably won't dare to sell the stones to us against the will of the royal family." Although Softsilver ore is of little value, it is still possible to fill the city walls. There's no way around it......"

Sophia was silent for a moment and sighed, "Actually, you don't need to ask for my opinion. ”

"I have a request for you. Victor smiled and said, "Pinghu Town needs to build a thirty-meter-high city wall, and I plan to use blue bricks to build the exterior wall, and soft silver ore as a stone filler. The 200,000 gold soles were almost enough to cover the cost of building the walls, as well as the cost of purchasing and transporting Softbank. However, softsilver ore has to be fired and cooled before it can be cracked into the shape of a stone, which requires a lot of charcoal. There is an almost endless list of spines on the periphery of the dark forest, and they make good charcoal. However, I don't have the money to buy that much charcoal......"

Sophia looked at Victor with a smile and said, "You want to borrow money from me?"

"Borrow money? No! I want to do a business with you. A futures business. ”
