Chapter 251: Heir to the Throne
The city of the royal capital, the city of the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is located in the lower reaches of the Nibel River, backed by majestic nameless mountains. The entire city is made of solid granite, and the gates alone are twenty meters high. The other buildings in the city are even taller and more majestic, and people feel an inexplicable pressure from afar.
I'm afraid that only the palace of Dragon Island can be compared to it.
When Lauren found Hank, he was directing the unloading at the docks, which was already the third batch of bicycles and tricycles. Looking at the crowd around me, it is estimated that before it gets dark today, the whole ship will be sold short.
"Lord Lauren, why are you here?"
Hank was surprised to see Lauren wrapped in a thick robe.
"It was Lord Renault who asked me to bring you something. ”
Hank's expression was grim, and what needed to be escorted by Lauren in person must be extraordinary.
So they immediately rushed to Hank's residence, and asked the Black Iron Army to set up a tight sentry, and after making sure that no one was watching, Lauren took out a huge ancient book and letters from his backpack.
Hank actually read the letter that Renault wrote to him, except for a few simple words of praise, a lot of space left is Renault venting his dissatisfaction with the newspaper, and hinting that Hank is more aggressive in front of those court scholars, and can be as harsh as he can when selecting content, after all, he is the editor-in-chief of the "Black Iron Town Daily", and he can't be looked down upon.
For this reason, Hank shook his head helplessly and smiled, those court scholars are all old antiques, and the content written by them is monotonous and old-fashioned, if it were not for His Majesty the King's approval, Hank would have driven them away a long time ago.
Now that he has Renault's opinion, he has decided to teach the old antiques how to write their manuscripts starting tomorrow.
Finally, at the end of the letter, Renaud told him to read the ancient books first, then the letters to the king, and finally to the palace as quickly as possible.
Hank opened the ancient book and read it in detail from beginning to end, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and finally there was dense sweat on his forehead.
Isn't it too inappropriate for Renault to give it to His Majesty the King for inspection, and is he not afraid that the King will suspect his intentions?
However, after reading the letter written by Renault to the king, his heart finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Lord Renault is the most powerful businessman, it is estimated that when the temple knows that they just helped Lord Renault ask for a large sum of money from His Majesty the King, his nose will be crooked." ”
"But Lord Reynolds said that it is difficult to say whether His Majesty will give money or not. ”
"Absolutely!"
Hank knows the nobility of the royal capital, and he knows His Majesty very well. He liked honest people the most, so Renault simply sent this ancient book to him, which seemed reckless, but in fact it was very much in line with His Majesty's appetite.
Some gold coins are nothing, they have ruled the Oro continent for thousands of years, and the gold coins have been able to pile up into mountains.
Moreover, the last time the second prince Norman came to him, in addition to talking about the newspaper, he also put forward his willingness to buy weapons from Black Iron Town again with great caution.
Hank decided that the king would not let go of this great opportunity to win over Renault, but the result was destined to disappoint His Majesty.
Early the next morning, Hank went to the palace and handed over the thick books and letters to the king.
"Thank you, Mr. Hank. ”
Unexpectedly, the king didn't even go through the letters and ancient books in front of Hank, and sent him away with a faint word.
For this reason, Hank wondered in his heart, could it be that His Majesty the King suddenly changed sex?
Immediately after Hank left, His Majesty returned to the back garden of the palace, lay down on a comfortable chaise longue, and had the court doctor put a black ointment on his face.
The second prince, Norman, stood aside with a smile, his eyes glancing at the ancient books from time to time, curious but inconvenient to ask. Because His Majesty the King doesn't know why, he has had a toothache since the day before yesterday, and he hasn't slept well for two nights.
"Norman, I know you're curious," said the King, breathing, "but I want you to read Reynold's letters for me first." ”
Norman had no choice but to resist his curiosity and read the lengthy letter.
"This kid is very long-winded. The king covered his face and said, "Take a look at it first, and pick out the key points for me." ”
The only point of the letter is that Renault is crying poor.
His Majesty the King frowned, the lord asked the king for money to build a city, this is the first case in history, why did he think I would give it?
Norman was also puzzled.
So both of them set their sights on the thick tome.
Turning the first page, His Majesty's face instantly turned cold.
"Did Renault say where he got it from?"
"Yes, it was given to him by the bishop of the temple himself. ”
Bang –
His Majesty slammed the table and shook the teacup to the ground.
"These gods are trying to sow discord between us and Renault. ”
Norman looked solemn, frowned and asked, "Do you want me to teach them a lesson?"
His Majesty waved his hand and vented, and his mood quickly regained his calm: "No need, since Renault sent the ancient book here, it proves that the provocation of the temple has not worked at all. ”
"But what he meant in his letter was that he wanted to ask the royal family for gold coins, is this a disguised threat?"
"Oh, my dear Norman, your thoughts are always so direct. His Majesty suddenly laughed, "Renault is a smart man, and he has enough strength, he will not disdain to play such a despicable trick." He made this request just to show the temple that the relationship between our two races was still as close as ever.
"You go and inform Mario, let him go to the vault and count the 10 million gold coins and give it to Renault, be high-profile, and it is better to let the whole continent know about it. ”
Norman took the order and left.
After he left, a wonderful figure came out of the flowers next to him.
She had waist-length blond hair, a beautiful face, and a delicate green diamond between her eyebrows. A white gauze dress set off her near-perfect figure.
The lotus step moved lightly, bringing a burst of fragrant wind.
Seeing her presence, His Majesty's toothache seemed to be much better.
"When did you come back, my dear daughter, Posia?"
"Dear father, it's been two days since I came back, and I went to the Silver Armor Army to have a look, so I came to greet you today. ”
"You're a girl, why do you like to fight and kill as much as your Norman brother?"
Pothea smiled and sat down beside His Majesty, the eldest child of the King, the eldest princess of the royal family. She is also the king's most favored heir, helping with government affairs since the age of fifteen, and also serving as the commander of the Silver Armor Army.
Without asking for instructions, she looked through the thick book and read Renault's letters, and it was evident that the king's trust and favor for her had reached an extraordinary level.
"Are you really going to give Renault gold coins?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Percia just thinks that the people of the Franklin family don't seem to be worthy of being so wooed. ”
The king touched her head dotingly and smiled kindly: "You have grown up, and there are some things I think it is time for you to know." The account in this book is true, but it is not the whole story. In the summer, I'll take you to the family library and let you know the truth. ”
"Really? I can't wait!"
Portia asked happily, knowing that the royal library was only open to the king and his heirs. Due to the exceptional location, access is only possible for a short period of time of the year.
The king finally made up his mind and publicly declared Portia his successor. (To be continued.) )
