Seeing that the "allies" were being scolded and retreating, Prince Albert on the side couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.

"Lady Sophia, you are being a bit snarky, aren't you? Everyone is a colleague, look up and don't look down, think before you speak. ”

"Huh!" Sophia turned her head and stared at Albert like a cat in a hurry, "Now you know that you are called Madame?" Didn't you just call me by name? ”

"How about saying I'm scathing, I'm scathing! There is no contradiction between me and Count Puran, and if he hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have wanted to scold him, but I would have a big contradiction with you! How dare you jump out?! ”

Prince Albert was dumbfounded for a moment, and was about to speak when Sophia stopped him.

"The last time I cooperated with you, I originally thought that the volume of the puller was about the same size as mine, and I could earn a little more money by then! I didn't expect you to be so timid, and you actually quit at a critical moment! Do you know how much I lost that time! A whole five billion! ”

"It's okay for me to smash your shop, if you hadn't hid it well enough at that time, I would have blown you up! Cowardice! ”

Prince Albert's standing up did make a difference, attracting Sophia's fire against Puran, and he couldn't talk about it.

The various nobles present knew a little bit about that incident, and it was then that Sophia discovered that a piece of land in a neighboring country contained a huge amount of magic concentrate, worth more than ten billion.

So he began to make a plan to trade with neighboring countries in the name of friendly trade, and then buy the land use rights around the place for 200 years, announcing that he wanted to establish a trading city connecting the two countries. The people of the neighboring country sent people to explore the land and found that there was no problem, and that it was still of some benefit to their own country, so they sold the right to use it to Sophia.

But Sophia's capital reserves were insufficient after buying the surrounding land at that time, so she found Prince Albert and planned to join forces to gradually buy the land that really contained magic concentrate, because after the previous behavior, the people sent by the lord would not investigate carefully, and Sophia sent a mage to use some means, and there would not be much problem in taking down the land rich in magic concentrate.

At first, Prince Albert agreed well, but as Sophia submitted the application, Prince Albert suddenly repented, Sophia's capital chain was broken all of a sudden, and she couldn't pay enough money to buy the land that was really rich in magic mines for a while, so she went everywhere to sell her property in exchange for funds, and her move happened to be discovered by the secret agents of the neighboring country in the royal capital.

After the news came back, the neighboring countries became suspicious and sent people to re-explore the entire land, and sure enough, they found a huge magical essence contained under that land. So he rejected Sophia's application, and Sophia's previous five billion gold coins were all lost, and she got some worthless vacant land, so she could only establish a trading city between the two kingdoms according to the plan she had announced at the beginning, and it was impossible to put those lands there.

Several years have passed now, and one-fiftieth of the cost of 100 million has not been earned. This is the only business that Sophia has lost since she took charge of Auguste, and it can't be said to be a loss, but it can also make money, but after a long time, a hundred years, you can collect the cost.

Albert's whole person suddenly became embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "But you are really inappropriate, I think the risk is too great, if I am discovered, my money will be wasted." ”

Sophia angrily wanted to go up and give him a shoehorn in the face, "You don't think it's right, don't promise me in the first place!" At the critical moment, you are about to succeed, and you say you won't do it! I was really blind, I couldn't have found you in the first place, and it was impossible for anyone present to do such a thing. ”

Albert was speechless.

After Albert finished attracting firepower, Count Puran finally finished his blood and stood up, "Now we are talking about whether this kid can be a logistics officer, don't go elsewhere." ”

"Aside from my personal vendetta with him, can he be trusted by us as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child? Leave our supplies to him to transport, who will be responsible except for mistakes? I'm not at ease myself! Everyone present is not at ease! ”

"Not exactly." Earl Norton said quietly, then stood up and walked to Claire's side, putting his hand on Claire's shoulder: "I am quite relieved of him, the materials of our Ansel family are handed over to him, and I believe that it is better than everyone else." ”

Count Puran's eyes widened, he didn't expect that someone would come out and wade into the muddy waters at this time.

Prince Albert was also shocked, his youngest daughter is going to marry the young master of Earl Norton, aren't we in the same camp? Even if you don't help me, you won't stand on Sophia's side.

Sophia smiled like a flower when she saw Earl Norton standing over, and glanced at the other two provocatively, "How is it now?" Two against two, our numbers are even. ”

"What a number! We are not more than anyone. Prince Albert blushed his neck and shouted, "We are just stating the facts, he is a child, and it is very likely that something will go wrong by letting him take over such a big matter the first time." ”

The rest of the nobles present were also a little worried, Claire looked a little young, and she was afraid that she would not be reliable.

"If something goes wrong, I'll take care of it!" Sophia shouted.

Puran yelled, "Responsible? Are you responsible? This is war, not a playhouse! ”

The situation suddenly became a stalemate, and neither side would budge.

"Little friend! Why are you here? A peaceful voice came.

Everyone turned their heads, and when they saw the comer, they got up from the sofa one after another, bowed slightly, and said in unison: "Merlin Law Saint!" ”

Then he saw Edith next to Merlin, and said hello, "Hello Miss Edith." ”“

The Earl of Puran and Prince Albert instantly put away their hideous faces because of the quarrel, and greeted them with the most friendly smile: "Merlin Fa Sheng! ”

Edith nodded politely, while Merlin completely ignored the greetings of the nobles and walked straight towards Claire, he had lived for so many years, and these nobles had changed one after another, and he was in no mood to get to know them.

Merlin pressed Claire's shoulder and said excitedly: "I originally planned to look for you after I was done, but I didn't expect you to come to the royal capital." ”

"Busy?" Merlin said again.

Claire looked around the scene and said slowly, "It should be...... Don't be busy. ”

"If you're not busy, find a place to talk to me." Merlin took Claire's arm and walked out.

Count Puran opened his mouth, not daring to say anything, but was a little glad that Claire was gone.

"Wait a minute." Claire suddenly shouted to stop, Merlin turned back in confusion, Claire replied, "I'll say something, I'll go with you when I'm done." ”

Count Puran and Prince Albert's hearts suddenly lifted, young master! Let's go! We know it's wrong, you said you knew the Merlin Saint! How dare we provoke you!

Claire glanced at the frightened two and smiled: "Actually, you have always said wrong, I am not seventeen or eighteen years old, I am only sixteen years old now." ”

When Merlin heard this, he felt that something was wrong, looked at Count Puran, and frowned, "The son of the Karl family, right?" ”

Count Puran lowered his head in fright, not daring to look directly at Merlin, "Yes, Merlin Fasheng. ”

"I haven't seen Carl in a long time, you have time to talk to him and let him come and see me."

Count Puran's heart trembled as he listened, wondering what he meant by this sentence, whether he was beating himself.

Hurriedly said: "Father-sama is on the Flame Plane, he already knows the news of your return, and when you go to the Flame Plane, my father will definitely look for you." ”

"Well, that's good." Merlin said, grabbing Claire by the shoulders and taking her away.

When others looked at this, they didn't know that Merlin was supporting Claire, and Count Puran was sweating all over his face at the moment, and he almost collapsed and couldn't stand.
