Chapter 52
Ten days later, in the palace of the Grand Duke of Dominque in Nurentak, the southern capital of the Kingdom of Herenys, a well-dressed nobleman was holding wine glasses and forming a small circle to talk.
Viscount Nolan took a glass of red wine and raised his glass to Fang Chen: "Caesar, congratulations on your successful joining the Black Spirit Academy!" ”
Fang Chen smiled and said, "Thanks to your token!" ”
Viscount Nolan reminded, "I thought you would stay in the Black Spirit Academy all the time to learn magic. It's not a wise choice for you to come back now. The crown prince Bolun publicly tore up his marriage contract with Farentina, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Domingue, which was an insult to the Grand Duke of Domingue and he would definitely start a war. It's too late for you to go back and learn magic! ”
The Black Spirit Academy is the terrifying force that controls the Kasna Empire. If Fang Chen was going back to study magic, even Grand Duke Domingue would not be able to stop him.
If Fang Chen wasn't a player, he would have taken refuge in the Black Spirit Academy to avoid this pointless and dangerous war. However, since he is a player, he can only participate in this war and do his best to win this war.
Viscount Nolan and other well-informed members of the southern aristocracy had already guessed that war was about to break out, but they could only follow Archduke Doming, because they also had no choice, and if they betrayed Archduke Doming, they would be wiped out by the Grand Duke's direct troops.
Fang Chen smiled and said, "This war is both a crisis and an opportunity!" Without this war, when would I be promoted to Viscount? ”
Viscount Nolan said solemnly: "If war really breaks out, our two families must join forces!" ”
Fang Chen started by hunting monsters, and the number of monsters slaughtered was calculated in tens of thousands. Viscount Nolan is naturally willing to join forces with such a ruthless person.
Fang Chen said: "No problem! ”
Viscount Nolan said: "Grand Duke Domingue is here!" ”
A middle-aged man with a height of 1.9 meters, a burly figure, wearing a pitch-black dress, short brown hair, and his hair was already slightly gray, and his appearance was heroic, like an angry lion, strode in.
Beside the middle-aged man, there was also a middle-aged man who looked five points similar to him, but was obese and had a belly as if he was pregnant in October.
Viscount Nolan lowered his voice and pointed his wine glass at the angry lion-like middle-aged man and the beer-bellied man, respectively: "Those two are Grand Duke Dominque and his younger brother Baron Bolev!" ”
The Grand Duke of Domingue came to a podium in the banquet hall, looked down like an angry lion, and said, "Everyone, please listen to me quietly! ”
The banquet hall suddenly became quiet.
"The crown prince Bolun has publicly torn up his engagement with my daughter Farentina. This is an insult to me and to all the southern nobles!! ”
"Those idiots of the Central Aristocracy, when we fight monsters on the border, they will only hide in a safe place to have fun."
"I once proposed to the royal family that they should give a sum of money to support the nobles who lost their territories in the Demon Tide War, and support us nobles who fought for the country. But they arrogantly rejected me!! ”
"The idiots of the royal family and the central aristocracy want to watch us be drained by the demon tide and then annex our territory."
"The monsters we hunt are all bought by the royal family and the central nobles at low prices, and then they sell us food, armor, and weapons at a high price and plunder our wealth!"
"Can you tolerate those fools staying in safe places, watching us fight monsters, then swallow our territory and plunder our wealth?"
The Grand Duke of Domingue spoke loudly in an incendiary tone, like an angry lion.
"Intolerable!!"
"Those damn fools don't deserve to occupy the fertile land!!"
"Let the royal family change a king!! Let the idiot Rani VI step down! ”
“.…..”
Several of the great nobles such as the Count of Rhine shouted loudly, and then all the southern nobles in the hall roared loudly.
The southern aristocracy fights with the monsters in the Black Forest Mountains all year round, and there is a great demand for weapons and armor. Merchants supported by the royal family and the central aristocracy sold weapons and armor to the southern nobles at high prices, and bought monster materials from the southern nobles at low prices.
The fighting power of the southern aristocracy far exceeded that of the central aristocracy, but due to the long war, the southern aristocracy was also generally poor, and did not have a good opinion of the central nobles who harvested their wealth through trade.
The Grand Duke of Domingue raised his voice and said, "I declare war on the royal family from now on!" I will lead you into the heart of the kingdom and plunder the wealth, land, and women of fools who are not worthy of the noble name! Until the royal family declares its surrender, a new king is replaced, and everything we ask is met! ”
"Declare war!"
"Plundering their wealth !!"
“……”
The nobles in the banquet all had a hint of excitement in their eyes, and they roared loudly. They have long been dissatisfied with the royal family and the central aristocracy, and they also covet the wealth and land of those nobles.
After the declaration of war, the Grand Duke of Domingue stepped down from the podium and talked to the many nobles one by one.
"I've seen the Grand Duke of Dominic! I'm Baron Caesar, and it's an honor to meet you! ”
When Grand Duke Domingue came to Fang Chen's side, Fang Chen saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.
Grand Duke Domingue smiled and said, "Baron Caesar, I know you!" You are one of the most wonderful young people in our South! I've heard that you want to restore the glory of your family, so this is your best chance! As long as you seize the opportunity, you will definitely become the count of the kingdom and restore the glory of the family! ”
Baron Bolev's eyes looked at Fang Chen, a trace of contempt and disdain flashed in his eyes, and he stood beside Grand Duke Dominque with a big belly, without saying a word.
Fang Chen said, "Grand Duke Dominic, you have declared war on the kingdom today, so we should be able to attack those stupid and greedy central nobles, right?" ”
The Grand Duke of Domingue encouraged, "Of course! Do it! ”
Fang Chen said: "I understand! ”
Grand Duke Domingue encouraged Fang Chen a few more words before leaving, heading to the next nobleman's side.
As soon as the banquet was over, Fang Chen left the Grand Duke's Mansion and came directly to the Adventurers' Guild in Nuren Tucker City.
Dan Luo, the leader of the C-class adventure group Giant Blade Adventure Group, sat on a wine table, raised the beer glass in his hand, and grinned: "Caesar, I didn't expect that when we met again, you would really become a baron of the kingdom!" ”
The other members of the Giant Blade Adventure Group also looked at Fang Chen, their eyes flashing with awe, envy, jealousy, and other looks.
The profession of an adventurer is a profession that licks blood from the knife edge, and it is a profession that makes money with his life. Many adventurers spend money like water when they are young, and when they are old, they will be very miserable, even worse than farmers. Becoming an aristocrat is the life goal of most adventurers.
