Chapter 442, The Season of War!

———— (omitted above)————

The next day, exhausted, cheek-sunken Aaron lay in the carriage back to Cormier, occasionally twitching a few times, already looking like a dead dog.

Yesterday until the last minute, Aaron was sure that Nestia was serious.

She really wanted the few people who participated in the hot spring bath to witness the most precious moment of her life, and Drow's brain circuit was so strange, compared to Eleanor's desire for no one to participate in her and Aaron's two-person world, Nestia was eager to show her and Aaron's good deeds to her competitors.

At that time, the situation was chaotic, and Eleanor, who was reluctant to come, was tied up by Nestia and Charlotte together, saying that she had to participate, Charlotte excitedly said that she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and Egil, who wanted to participate the most, had proposed to Aaron before to "have a nest of dragon eggs with me", but did not come - the big dragon dragon was too excited to count the money, and fell asleep on the pile of treasures.

What happened after that, only Aaron's aching spine, stiff shoulders, and numb waist knew.

Hmm~ It hurts!

Aaron was lying on the carpet in the carriage, his face was pale, he vaguely remembered that he had met the defending commander Nestia at the end of the wheel battle, and the dark elf sister made Aaron only have the reaction of pumping air with a small electric motor.

Hiss~

Gently rubbing his waist, Aaron leaned back in the chair under the service of Kyoka's maid, letting the fluffy cushions and powerful cushions support his body, and began to deal with many matters.

Well, she was involved last night.

The maid Kyoka only wears a standard black and white maid dress with a woolen trench coat, not the improved maid costume in Aaron's previous life, but the most orthodox black and white skirt in the Victorian style during the British Empire.

Aaron remembers that the maid should have been a full-time maid costume from a noble manor in France, but it gradually became what it is now in the process of dissemination, and it can only be said that human desires and imagination are infinite.

Slaanesh!

But even the most serious maid outfit can't hide Kyoka's proud figure, the breasted neckline and the surrounding circle of white lace are held up high by her proud bust, but a thin belt outlines her devilish waistline, and the wife under the long skirt wears only a pair of the most delicate velvet impermeable white stockings on her feet, stepping on the walnut floor covered with cashmere carpet, sitting next to Aaron, looking at Aaron from time to time, her face is as red as a ripe peach, and her moist and shiny skin has a thick flush.

Kyoka was in the last golden age of a woman, she was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, this woman was a real stunner, according to her, her husband Sir Raymond was in the prime of life when he first got married, but within a few years of marriage, his eyes were black, his cheeks were sunken, his body was emaciated, and he lost 30 pounds.

From this, it can be imagined that this thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman still has such an amazing appearance, what should she look like when she got married when she was about eighteen years old.

Aaron experienced it last night, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that this Lady Raymond would be widowed early, even if there was no monarch to intervene, Sir Raymond probably wouldn't live for a few years.

In all fairness, Kyoka has indeed begun to age, there is already a trace of crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her skin is not as shiny and beautiful as Eleanor Charlotte, and some parts have begun to sag, this is a woman who can't know what skills, what class level, what kind of magic, she ages quickly.

Luckily, she met Aaron.

Aaron needs her alive, she needs her to be glamorous, young and beautiful, so that Nestiana can take her place for a long time.

Kyoka will be Aaron's first contract sorcerer, and Aaron will be the suzerain of Kyoka, giving her strength and youth...... By the way, also test the practical application of the Golden Rule.

When Aaron looked at Kyoka, she was naturally looking at Aaron as well, but there wasn't much she could imagine in her barren brain.

Damn, why is it so comfortable?

Certain...... Be sure to ......

No, no, as a Bode noble, how can it be like this, the concubine is obviously coerced and intimidated......

"What did Ana say?" Aaron leaned on the backrest tiredly, he looked at the papers, outside were his silver dragon knights, all the possessions were collected by Charlotte into the space ring, and the big dragon dragon was riding and playing outside, and from time to time there was a hahahaha laugh...... The legendary young dragon can control gravity, and the most ordinary pack horse can easily carry the big dragon dragon that controls his weight under 100 pounds (almost 90 pounds).

It's so fun to ride a horse, but I don't know what it's like to ride a dragon, and Da Longlong is thinking about giving it a try next time.

Eleanor had been hit by the darkest night again last night, and the poor lady had forgotten that she had been coerced for the first time, and was currently in self-shut-up, and Charlotte was playing a game with Bouille...... Although Bouille didn't participate last night, Aaron faintly felt that the fairy princess might have peeked, and as soon as she saw Aaron today, she was so ashamed that she turned herself into a mushroom beast, and deliberately said something that Aaron didn't understand.

Mr. Ana said...... "Kyoka told Aaron what she knew.

Dorn and Varro met and bonded with the monarch, and the three of them formed a team, and the monarch told Dorn that he knew the whereabouts of an Imasca, and that if Dorn was interested, they could go and see it together.

Wizard Mechanic?

Dorn was a little interested, as the Emperor Fist didn't think he should return to the 40K universe empty-handed, he should either salute the Emperor's resurrection, or give the Emperor Fist a gift beyond the Mountain Formation to those who were not his true heirs.

Aaron understands that as for how to settle the Dorne children in Castle Joy, the task has fallen to Nestia, who will find them a suitable place in Baldur's Gate.

Then there's Ammon's Chanem Rescue Squad.

Ammon formed a team of five, she, Jahira, Khaled, Dinah Hei, and Minsk.

Aaron also saw Minsk's cute mini space super hamster for the first time - Bubu, although it is a mini space giant hamster, its size is only held in the palm of Minsk's palm, and it seems to be no different from ordinary hamsters.

But Aaron could feel that Bubu did have a special trace of blood in his body, which could be telepathic.

Dina Black is as her name suggests, just like Cui Heizi, so black that she can't see her facial features clearly, and she doesn't even have Cui Heizi's white hair, the black-haired black-skinned witch has the ability to be passive and invisible in the night, her temper is not very good, but she is still a good person, when she heard Aemon's request for help, she agreed to join without hesitation, and even bargained.

This is a very valuable quality for the caster, and Aaron gave her a magic scroll of amber magic crows as part of the reward.

As for Minsk, Aaron gave him a disposable magic wand, and he told Minsk with a bad taste that as long as he used it in times of crisis, he didn't have to care about the rest of the matter.

The effect of the wand is that Bubu will become fifty times larger, becoming a real "space super-giant hamster", the kind that can release atomic breath, and the transformation time lasts for three minutes.

Seeing off Dorne and the Sovereign, sending Aaron off and his rescue team, Aaron checked the Silver Dragon Knight's casualties and other precautions,

His mind shifts to the Devil Merchant Bald Singer, and Morgan says he wants to introduce him to another big devil, and they have a big deal.

"Well, what should I do now?" The topic abruptly stopped, and the wife and maid knelt next to Aaron, very confused.

"Smile." Aaron didn't even lift his head.

"Huh?"

"Just smile." Aaron continued to look at the papers.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and after more than half an hour, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Your Excellency, there is a situation." The Silver Dragon Knight Ramsey knocked on the car door: "A group of Serre's red-robed mages have stopped us!" ”

"They say there's a wild mage named Nera hiding in our convoy and wants us to hand her over?"

"Ranhr Mage Nera?"

………………

Susar, the capital of Cormier, the palace of Obeszir, the study of the princess regent.

When she heard a rhythmic knock at the door, the regent Alice Serre looked up from the pile of papers, and with a faint glow of magic, the pile of papers she had processed was automatically sorted into folders, and then the bureaucrats naturally followed her instructions, and behind her, a thick collection of dossiers, meeting materials, and the notes of Yasan IV filled several large bookcases.

The place is full of valuable knowledge, some of which are worth more than a noble manor, a row of fireproof, dusty, burglar-proof and detectable magic released by Kelburn-Black Rod himself, and some books with magic locks.

"Come in."

Alice Searle rubbed her eyes, she stretched out in annoyance, the regent had always felt that she was a warrior, a general, a marshal, but now she had to devote all her energy to dealing with the affairs of the country, and she would often rather go into battle alone against a hundred berserk goblins than look for those few useful words in a long circle of parchment, among the thousand words of the bureaucrats, and give her own instructions.

Why is this happening?

As Alice's voice sounded, a middle-aged male nobleman with a serious and old-fashioned face and an appearance of about forty years old walked in, he was the new Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer, Fortischu, the former Chancellor of the Kingdom of Finance Olivier and Aaron's aunt Melly had just scolded each other on the red carpet in front of the palace, it was originally a court joke, Olivier did not use this incident to describe "There is a crazy woman in Salian's house, begging me to visit her in the tavern".

However, with the rise of Aaron, no one joked about Aunt Melly anymore, on the contrary, Olivier was "retired" when the term of Minister Olivier arrived, and Alice Sell took the initiative to invite Aunt Melly and Olivier to have a meal to resolve the "misunderstanding".

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was slightly attached, put a thick pile of documents on the table, and said slowly: "Your Highness, the Silver Chamber of Commerce has delayed the total tariff report for trade for a month, which is the sum of customs duties and luxury taxes, port taxes and customs clearance fees for three years, including military escort fees, trade purchases and ground rent for merchant posts, please take a look." ”

"Last year, the Silver Chamber of Commerce paid a total of about 300,000 gold lion coins to the kingdom's treasury, and the biggest profits came from silver emulsion, chaos raw cola, and new stockings."

"Take less?" Alice Searle was stunned for a moment.

300,000 Golden Lion Coins?!

The total financial income of my Cormir Kingdom for the whole year is only one million.

She took the document and glanced at it: "...... Very good. ”

The Regent's face didn't fluctuate, but the heel of her shoe, which tapped quickly on the carpet under the table, revealed her thoughts.

As a powerful royal state in the center of the kingdom and a high-quality port, Cormier is naturally very wealthy.

But Cormier is also very short of money, after Yasan IV, the country will restore the army, resume production, and restore the population It takes a lot of real money and silver, and the country of the Purple Dragon needs to train more Purple Dragon Knights, compared to the 2,000 official Purple Dragon Knights when Yasan IV was alive, and now the Purple Dragon Knight Headquarters of only 800 trainee knights always makes Alice Ser feel uncomfortable.

There is also the training of war mages, newcomers learning magic are all money-burning businesses, the eldest lady has been clamoring for the best wizard tower, Alice Searle originally planned to build Charlotte in 30 years.

As for now? Hmph~ You ask Aaron for money!

Far from it, this tariff income ...... Alice Searle thought that this tariff revenue was almost equal to one-third of the income of the kingdom's treasury, which could not help but make the princess satisfied with her wise decision and the promotion and discovery of Aaron herself.

As long as trade is stable, tariffs flow in and wealth flows in and out, the economy will be revived, the kingdom will be strong, and the glory of Ahsan IV will be restored.

"Your Highness, here's another piece of news."

The Chancellor's face was not optimistic, he took out another document, and said in a deep voice: "This is some gossip we received, it seems that many nobles in the kingdom are a little dissatisfied with such a huge profit, they think that the historical mission of the Silver Chamber of Commerce to develop and research and development has been roughly over, and the next step should be to 'nationalize' the technology of silver emulsion, implement a monopoly system, and control the technology in their own hands." ”

Nationalization?

Alice Searle took it and looked at it when she heard this, and the regent sneered and shook her head: "This nationalization, will it become a national or a nobleman?" Will it become public, or will it actually become private? ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not answer, he only reminded the princess that there was a risk of a sudden motion in the Kingdom Council, and as for what to do, he only had the right to suggest: "However, Your Highness, there have always been rumors among the people that His Excellency Aaron Salian implements a different system and system in the Sunset Territory than our Cormier, and he has formed a knight order called the Silver Dragon Knights, and Susar does not seem to have any ...... for him at all Restraint capacity, is this something to be aware of? ”

“…… Still overfed. Alice Searle sighed, she also wanted to move: "There is no war, these guys are all idle and about to get sick." ”

"It just so happens that the treasury has just received such a large sum of money, and the timing is almost right...... The King's mobilization order was issued, I want to form a kingdom army after this year's autumn harvest to recover Tifanton in the north, and every kingdom nobleman must participate! That's an order. ”

"It's the season of war!"
