Chapter 336: The Mission (Part II)
"Your Majesty, Renee the belongings she took with her. It's a huge amount, and it's all that should be dedicated to Your Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, that quaint, was originally an imperial baron, was rewarded by the emperor, and actually took refuge in outsiders, Your Majesty should send troops to attack!"
"Your Majesty, Ani, and his parents, but they were all cultivated by the Clyde family, and they took all their belongings with them, which is clearly a betrayal of the empire!"
"Your Majesty, Elaine, she was originally going to be promised to Your Majesty, as the imperial concubine, that Salin was lawless, and she actually stayed by her side, please send troops to attack!"
The four counts were all angry, and they still had some contempt for Ojavis, the young emperor. With this hand, Salin took out tens of millions of gold coins from the four major families. These four counts have not gone crazy, they are already considered strong-minded. Therefore, the four of them unanimously asked the emperor to take back his order, and if it was Chanak the Great, give them a hundred dares, and they would not dare to speak like this.
"You're so loyal!" said O'Jarvis, smirking sarcastically, and counted them one by one.
"If Renee hadn't gone to Metatrin City, the wealth she controlled, about 500,000 gold coins per year, was mainly given to the province of Pollockro, where the Tiffany family was located, and Gu Ya was rewarded by her father, but a baronet, and in the Roland family, could she still inherit the title? His parents, I know, were already great magicians at that time, but they were immediately placed under house arrest by you in Holy Rock City, and Aini was sent to the Phoenix border. Elaine, become my princess? Rawls, do you believe what you say?"
The four counts changed color, they didn't expect O'Jarves' tone to be so harsh, you know, now in the Holy Rock City, most of the power is controlled by Sephiroth, and the four of them are the emperor's cronies and most powerful supporters. How could Ojavis be like this!
"You all want to attack Metatrin City. Very good, go ahead, I won't stop you, each of your own private soldiers is more than the number allowed by the duke, think I don't know?"
The four counts were frightened at this moment, and all rose from their chairs and knelt before the young emperor.
"Get up, I'm going to kill you, and I'm not going to let you into the palace at all. Don't look at my father's death, in this Holy Rock City, as long as I say a word, anyone can be killed in an instant. You think those magic clocks are ornaments?"
The four counts glanced at each other, and all stood up, but no one dared to sit down in their chairs anymore, and one by one bowed their heads, waiting for instructions in front of Ojavis.
"Father just spoils you too much...... O'Jarvis took a breath, and only said after a while: "You have to know how to advance and retreat, what's the use of you bewitching me? Even my uncle doesn't recommend sending troops to attack, just rely on your strength, and if you go, you will die." I don't know yet. The Pope himself organized an army of 100,000 men, which was completely annihilated in the northern wilderness by the army of Metatrin City. ”
The counts of the four major families were really scared at this time, their news did not come as quickly as the royal family, before this, Metatrin City was defeated and retreated, and the soldiers were defeated! The Holy See Expeditionary Force, after defeating the army of the King of Rexshire on the border, was like a bamboo, and Metatrin City did not hesitate to burn down its own town and burn all the grain to stop the expeditionary force.
Now they learned the news of the total annihilation of the expeditionary force.
"The city of Metatrin has been established, and Salen is now the first king, and he has asked my sister to send ten magic chariots, and as a gift, I have accepted. I told my uncle to prepare the envoys and go to Metatrin, do you understand?"
"Your Majesty......"
"We get it. ”
The four earls were dejected, and O'Jarvis didn't intend to continue to embarrass these four people, so his tone changed, and he said: "I have already considered trading with Metatrin City, Metatrin will have a magic core deal with the royal family, so you don't have to interfere, but the empire has always been short of metal deposits, you can go and operate." ”
The four counts immediately rejoiced, because in Qinyin, all the mines were owned by the royal family. They can't get their hands dirty. What Ojarvis meant was that the four families could run these businesses abroad, and in that case, their profits would at least double.
O'Jarvis's words were too red, and the four old fellows could no longer consider the issue with their original attitude.
"Your Majesty, since the royal family has decided, we will naturally obey the order, but this mining business, if we do it, will it ......?"
This is a sign of weakness, they have long been involved in the mineral business abroad, but in the territory of Qin Yin, they still dare not engage in it. Because the other nobles are staring at the four of them. These four lords are not high, but they are extremely favored, and if you want to bring them down, you have to find problems in the law.
However, the four of them were outside the law, and they would never allow the miners to enter the territory of Qin Yin. When it comes to related issues, it is better to spend more money than to go around from Alchemy City to launder the goods.
"Working with the nobles of Metatrin will not be in this trouble. ”
The four old guys were depressed for a while, after all, they wanted to run a business overseas, but they wanted to cooperate with those juniors who had separated from the family. It's just that. For the sake of money, I can only endure it.
"Your Majesty, Duke Balde has asked to see you. "There was a message from the palace guards, and O'Jarvis waved his hand to tell the four counts to stand down, and then he ordered someone to invite the Duke of Bald in.
The Duke of Bald was not yet forty years old, and his father died early, so he entered the House of Commons at such a young age. Because of his experience in the army since he was a child, Duke Balde's appearance is mighty, and his shrewd and capable appearance is very pleasing to Sephiroth.
Qin is still martial. There is no nobleman who does not learn swordsmanship. This Duke of Balde's father disciplined him strictly, and as a hereditary duke, he was not bad, and he had the level of a high-level swordsman.
"Duke, please be seated. Ojarvis straightened up in his chair, not slacking off as he had done to the four counts.
The palace guards served tea, and Duke Balde first saluted, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I was called by the prince this morning, and I haven't eaten yet." ”
Ojarvis immediately called in and prepared refreshments for Balder. If two people want to get down to business, it's impossible to have a banquet.
"Uncle told you to go, what's the matter?" O'Jarvis himself took a piece of dessert and ate it slowly, and the two of them seemed to be a pair of harmonious ministers.
"The prince was very dissatisfied with the war in Garulan, and called all the first dukes of the House of Commons and asked us to send troops. ”
"This is also the right reason, if you transfer troops from Shengyan City, the imperial capital will be empty, and it will not be good. Ojarvis said lightly.
"Your Majesty said yes. The twelve dukes all agreed to send 10,000 troops, and the prince himself estimated that he would also mobilize about 50,000 horses, plus the temporary conscripts, there should be more than 200,000 troops. ”
"Uncle recommended you to be an envoy?" said Ojarvis.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Duke Balde replied with a wry smile.
"It's a good thing, the duke, and the war between the Holy See can't end in ten or eight years, and my uncle probably wants to push the front to the east of the Caucasus Mountains before winter. To fight, you need a magician, Metatrin City produces magic cores, Balde, you go this time, you must talk to Saleen to understand, Holy Rock City wants him to support 100,000 intermediate magic cores every year, and in terms of price, I can only give him half of the market price. ”
Duke Balde was taken aback. "Your Majesty, how is this possible?"
Although Bald is not a mage, he knows that at half of the market price, the city of Metatrin loses at least tens of millions of gold coins every year.
"What's impossible, I'm paying directly, all in cash, without any delay, he makes a lot of money in such a big business. If you sell it yourself, it will cost countless manpower and material resources. ”
When Balde heard O'Jarvis say this, he suddenly became annoyed. Said: "Your Majesty, so to speak, Alchemy City earns so many more gold coins from us every year......!
Ojavis waved his hand and said, "Alchemy City is not something you can provoke, this matter must be done secretly." This year's magic core, I want to buy all of them, and I can increase the price. Once the situation is broken in Garudan, we will organize an attack, and when the time comes, the local nobles will not be able to think of it, and I will let my uncle command the army, sweep away the four principalities, and then march into Tangulas. In this way, the consumption of the demon core is extremely terrifying. ”
When Balder heard the emperor say this, he also woke up to the fact that even if Alchemy City controlled the price, Holy Rock City did not have much to do. You can't force someone to sell the core at a reduced price. No wonder the Emperor sent the Duke to envoy Metatrin, such a big deal was worth the trip himself.
"On this mission, you must carefully observe how much strength Metatrin City has. Since I recognize him as a king, don't be arrogant. ”
"Minister...... Got it. "Although Balde is in the House of Commons, it is related to the rise and fall of the imperial capital, and he will definitely stand on the emperor's side. The business of 100,000 demon cores, and it is half of the money, which is extremely beneficial to the attack of the emperor ** team. It's not that this demon core Holy Rock City can't afford to come out, but if the war continues, Holy Rock City can't sit back and eat. After thousands of years of accumulation, there will always be a day when the consumption will be clean, and we must take precautions.
"The Tiffany Grand Magus has returned to Holy Rock City, I will send her to follow you, and then add four sixth-level magicians, you can rest assured that you are safe. Over there in Guderian, I'll give you the order to escort you through Phoenix. ”
Sephiroth had also said these things, but when he heard that it was an eighth-level magician who followed him, Balder was still very happy.
"You will stay in the palace today, the list of gifts has not been made yet, and you will be ready to go almost tomorrow. ”
"Your Majesty, in such a hurry?"
"Well, there has to be a hurry. It will take you two or three months to travel tens of thousands of miles. My sister asked me to send people over before October arrived, otherwise, the business of the magic core would have to wait for next year. ”
