204. Wellington's Political Story 1
The crimson banner was blown by the wind, and the white sun and black cross pattern showed a hint of evil in the majesty, and combined with the black wall around the Watson family manor, there was a look of "no one should approach".
Today, the Watson family manor looks particularly dignified, and the human warriors who are in charge of the daytime guard wear heavy full-body armor, and drive their horses to a kilometer outside the castle to establish a cordon to stop anyone who wants to get close, fortunately, Watson Castle is located on the outskirts of Wellington, otherwise, they are afraid that they will cause chaos in the capital of Bugas.
"Giggle......
The sound of the wheels of the carriage galloping on the road was heard, and as soon as the leading human warrior saw the blood rose banner on the roof of the carriage, he immediately divided the team on both sides, and when the carriage was about to enter the "encirclement", the human warrior leader pulled the halter of the war horse, turned around, and ran towards the castle with a group of warriors guarding the carriage.
The convoy galloped all the way, and when the soldiers guarding Watson Manor saw the familiar faces, they immediately beckoned their companions to use all their bodies to immediately push the big iron gate open, and the carriage ran behind them, leaving a cloud of smoke and dust behind the high-speed wheels.
When he came to the door of the main building of the manor, before the carriage stopped, he saw the door kicked open by the people inside, and Philip, who was holding Grace, ran out of it, and nodded at Adrian, who was already waiting here, and said nothing else.
"Pool of Blood!"
"Follow me. "The Prince of the Blood Clan has already received Philip's magic letter, a duke is a valuable asset to any Blood Family, and he naturally has to do his best to save it.
The servant on the side was going to come and pick up Grace. Philip shook his head: "I'm going to send it over personally." With that, he followed Adrian firmly into the depths of the building.
The prince, who looked old on the outside, ran faster than Philip, a young man, and if he hadn't stopped and waited for Philip, he would have disappeared long ago.
When the two stopped, Philip stood at the doorway of a stone engraved with the Mark of the Watson family and Cain, the god of the bloods, and four female bloodlines exuding a powerful aura stood at the door, looking coldly at Philip behind Adrian, whose eyes were so cold that they pierced his spine.
Adrian turned. To Philip, he said, "Your Excellency, the Earl." There is a pool of blood in front of it, and it is the forbidden land of our clan, please hand over Grace to the four elders. ”
Philip didn't seem to hear Adrian's words, and he resisted the gaze of the powerful blood clan elders. He glared back. A powerful momentum erupted.
Adrian stood in front of Philip's line of sight. Interrupting Philip and the elder's gaze, he sighed and said, "These four elders who control the blood clan won't even give me face, Philip, please rest assured." Grace is also a member of the Watson family, and the Duke's bloodline is also precious to us, so rest assured, we will do our best to heal her. ”
"You promise?"
"Guaranteed by the honor of the god of Cain. Adrian shook his head helplessly, the person who saved his family had to promise an outsider that what was going on!
Philip heard Adrian swear by his faith, so he unexpectedly handed Grace over to the elder of the blood clan who had just looked at him, but she didn't expect that she even nodded at Philip, as if appreciating his love for Grace.
Watching Grace disappear behind the heavy stone door, Philip gradually calmed down and said to Adrian: "Your Royal Highness, there is something you can take a look at, Grace was injured because of this thing. ”
Back in the carriage, Philip took out the magic sword that had covered the bronze, and Adrian's pupils shrank the moment he started, and he looked at Philip in disbelief.
"Is this true?"
"You can try. ”
While the others were still in the dark about the dumb riddles they had told each other, Adrian swung his sword and pointed to a wooden bench in the courtyard.
Red fireballs erupted from the sword and struck the bench where no one was sitting, and the next moment, the bench was blazing with fire, and in the surprised eyes of the Watson Bloodline, their old and respectful patriarch shouted wildly at the sky
"Cain is on it! I feel the power of magic!"
Although it is not a powerful magic, it is a great thing in itself to make the bloods who are almost insulated from magic feel the magical energy, and the speed is amazing, and the superior body of the bloods is paired with magic weapons, even if it is a very rudimentary fireball technique, it can also make them improve a lot.
Just imagine, when a swordsman and the blood clan are evenly matched, both sides do not have much energy to attack again, at this time, the blood warrior suddenly swings his sword, and a fireball hits the swordsman who can no longer launch his fighting spirit, and then, the swordsman is reduced to ashes in the flames.
Philip was treated to a very high standard in the Watson family, and Philip was treated to a feast with good food and drink, and of course, a huge contract for the manufacture of magical weapons was also placed in front of Philip.
However, Philip did not give an immediate reply, he was doing this to imply to the Watson family that if Grace was treated well, he would lower the price more normally, and if something happened to Grace, just wait and see that number change from huge to sky-high!
Leaving the Watson family, Philip has another important thing to do.
The carriage carrying Lord Lobit turned to Wellington's Upper East Side and drove into the manor with the blood-colored rose flag fluttering. As Philip's liaison officer in the family, as soon as the carriage stopped, Mullen took the initiative to step forward and open the door for Philip.
"Young master, the master is in the deduction room, and he told you to go directly to him when you come. "Mullen addressed Philip as a servant, and although he had a military position in the First Guards Army, he always put himself in the position of a retainer.
With Nicholas returning to the town, the Blood Rose Manor seemed to be a little more lively than before, the heads of the various branches of the family came and went here to do business, the head of the Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Rose family came to report to the treasurer, and the officials and councilors who asked for Nicholas were waiting in the meeting room, Philip suddenly felt that the Blood Rose Manor was almost an office.
The officials, merchants, and family stewards who came here showed enough respect for the next head of the "office" of the Ross family, and Philip nodded his head and greeted him with a smile on his way to the deduction room.
If you know it, you say, "Hello, Uncle So-and-so." ”
If you don't know it, just say, "Hello, welcome to the Blood Rose Manor." ”
It is impossible to tell that Philip has ever been estranged from his relatives.
Pushing open the white gate wrapped in Phnom Penh, I heard Elder Lena's high-pitched and slightly shrill female voice: "Impossible, it must not be passed, even if we use the method of supporting the "Dacia Wheat Subsidy Act" to get their support, the group of fellows in Komajini will be dissatisfied again, they will say why the wheat planting area in Dacia is not as large as theirs but can be subsidized, they plant more, but they do not have a penny of subsidies.
In addition to her fairness and strictness, another important reason why Lena can become the leader of the neutral faction within the family is that she is also a member of the Imperial Diet, and she will participate in the political deduction of whether the royalist party can pass the bill.
As soon as Philip walked into the deduction room, he could see that the venerable old lady was talking impassionedly, and it seemed that there was a bill being discussed again today.
Sitting opposite her, a slightly younger, millet-haired middle-aged man frowned, slammed the tip of his nose on the table, and said: "Let's do the opposite, tell the Republican congressmen of Dacia that if they don't know about us this time, we will increase the subsidy to our allies in Komajini Province, so that he can taste the taste of being dumped in the big grain province." ”
"Dom, you're a devil, but it's a good idea, and I'll talk to them. Lena cursed, facing people outside the family, she had always been afraid to show her sharp fangs.
Although the problem of voting in one province has been solved, Dom's troubles do not seem to have dissipated, "Don't be too happy, even if we get the vote of Dacia Province, we are still far from the half, the empire has more than thirty provinces, and now one palm on our side can be counted, or the royalist congressmen are more united than the Republicans, I don't dare to imagine that this vote can be passed, even so, the biggest variables in this bill are not these, more importantly, many people waver." ”
Speaking of this, Dom seemed to sense that someone was standing at the door of the room opposite him, raised his head, and smiled at Philip: "Ah, Philip is here, I'm not saying that I don't have confidence in the bill you made at all, it's just that it's too sudden, and we don't have time to prepare." ”
The people in the deduction room looked up in unison, and greeted Philip with a smile, and Philip naturally responded one by one, preparing to walk to his father and sit down.
