"Hahaha, you're so funny. A fat man with a mustache smiled exaggeratedly, then turned his head and beckoned in the direction where Murphy was, "Mr. Murphy, come here, I'll introduce you." ”

Murphy casually placed his goblet on the tray, and then walked over to the fat man with a smile on his face, who was none other than his newly climbed Earl Rog.

"This is Lord Belvian, and this is Mrs. Roaina. Count Rogge said that the man he introduced, Belvian, was handsome and tall, had a good skin, and had a glamorous woman by his side.

Murphy responded enthusiastically, greeting Bellevian and Roaina, and even flattering them, but Belleveven was very arrogant and ignored, but Mrs. Roaine seemed to be quite interested in Murphy.

"So you're Mr. Murphy, and I heard you're serving Lord Rogge right now, aren't you?" Roaina's eyes flashed, and she looked at Murphy with a slightly seductive look, as if she had seen some kind of prey.

However, Murphy knew that this woman was not trying to seduce him, but because Earl Rogge had recently gotten out of a predicament, and it was said that he had hired a man who was good at investing, so this woman would look at him differently.

And he was trying to get in touch with Belvian and Roaina, and the people behind them.

The political situation of Aurora, the contradiction between the north and the south has always existed, but it was safe and sound before, because the power of the north has always been above the south, after all, many years ago, when the third king of Zhenqing promoted the royal power, he successfully greatly weakened the military power of the southern nobles.

Over the years, it has been the northern aristocracy that has formed close alliances with other tribes. Take control of the military in your hands. The southern aristocracy, on the other hand, controlled a large amount of domestic and foreign trade. In terms of economy and domestic affairs, the alliance of barbarians and orcs in the north is much worse, and they have to rely on the south, and between the two parties, there is also a prime minister, Carlo Grenan, a politician who is a southern mage and has the ambition to bridge the rift between the north and the south, and also has high enough prestige to be the prime minister. Only then can we effectively make the contradiction between the north and the south less prominent, and we can also work together with the outside world.

But in recent years, the situation has changed somewhat, the changes in the neighboring countries have affected Aurora, and the southern aristocracy is very envious of the development of the neighboring countries, believing that if some developments are implemented in Aurora, they can not only enhance the national strength, but also accumulate more wealth for themselves, such as stock trading in Asturias, futures trading, etc., and the development of banks can also provide capital for themselves; in fact, it is not only the southern aristocracy that thinks so. Even some merchants and knowledgeable people in the north saw this change and thought that it should be emulated. Unstoppable.

Aurora's northern faction holds most of the power, but this faction is very complex, with the royal family as the core, with the support of traditional northern nobles, and the support of the orcs, the orcs do not form a tribe, but they are a mountain in Aurora's army, with two legions and even all orcs, and the influence from the Eastern Beast Alliance, Tiger and Slack are "good friends" of the northern nobles Although the economic and trade controlled by the northern forces is far inferior to that of the southern nobles, they have at least one city that is no less than that of the south, that is, Turing City, which is headed by Tiago, and the objects of Turing City's trade are the orcs, relying on the monopoly trade with the orcs.

Aurora's occupation and plundering of the Alien Plane over the years has lagged behind other countries, and the reason for this is that in the face of Asturias's anger and revenge, both sides suffered a lot of losses, but Asturias is in a period of rapid development and can recover, while the Kingdom of Aurora will inevitably be dragged down;

However, with the influence of the outside world, the south is increasingly demanding free trade, and the north is required to release more political power and free trade opportunities, such as putting down the confrontation in Asturias, normalizing relations between the two countries as soon as possible, increasing trade opportunities, so that the merchants and nobles of Aurora can justifiably go to Asturias to make a fortune, and do not have to be afraid of investing in the stock market in Asturias like Count Rog, because after all, the relationship between the two countries has not been normalized now, and in case of another fight, Count Rogge may suffer great losses if he does not recover his investment in time。

This form is now complicated by the recurrence of King Harrison's old wounds, such as today's party and ball, which is mostly from the South, with a small number of northerners who are close to the South or who are also dissatisfied with the northern faction.

Murphy's current Belleveven background is not simple, his brother is now the Marquis of Gerald, who is now the most likely potential leader in the South, so his pride is understandable.

The Marquis de Jayde's goal now was to take the place of Prime Minister of Callogrenan, and the vast majority of nobles and merchants in the South supported this, because many people believed that Carlogrenan was too old to reconcile the contradictions between the nobility of the North and the South as before, and others believed that Logrenan was increasingly leaning towards the north, and that the South needed its own men to take the throne to contain the north and fight for its own power.

There are constantly people coming up to clink glasses with Baron Belvian, including many counts like Rogge, and even marquises, even if some do not have titles, they are also famous warriors or merchants of Aurora, Aurora has always been regarded as a barbarian country, but this also has an advantage, that is, they attach importance to force, their noble titles, and military merit awards very early, so many nobles have a close relationship with the army, and even the title of war merit obtained from the war, but the respect is still on top of those hereditary titles, of course, if the people with hereditary titles can have more strength, then it is another matter。

"I'm sorry, Count Rog, and this Mr. Murphy, we have to leave for a while. Belvian pulled Roaina and walked away.

After leaving a little, after dealing with the other two smiling businessmen, the two hid in a remote corner, at this time the pre-dance conversation had ended, and began to play soft pop music, from the projector of Titania, the music was the new song of the famous wood elf singer Ciri of Asturias, although the self-proclaimed more open southern nobles also did not like unfriendly countries, but for these interesting goods many years ago began to contact and like, and then scolded while buying.

Roaina complained a little: "Why don't you let me get in touch with that Murphy, I heard that he made Rogge's fat pig make some money recently and make up for the loss." The Asturians hate it, but we don't have to worry about money, and your brother doesn't need it?"

"Be quiet. Belvian changed slightly, almost wanting to cover Roaina's mouth, the matter she just mentioned that the Marquis of Gerald was in need of money was very subtle, and after listening to it, it was possible to have some associations, and then perceive some of the Marquis's plans.

"You know what, it's really low-eyed. The Baron said coldly, "Yes, my brother needs help now, but he already has someone to support him." ”

Belvivan's words couldn't help but feel a little proud, although Murphy's attitude was respectful enough, he couldn't help but subconsciously want to be cold because of his disgust for the Asturians.

That's right, the battle in which Aurora also went to war because of his revenge on the Eastern Beast Alliance was mainly fought by the northern nobles, but the southerners also had a huge hatred for the Asturians, and even after twenty years had passed, this hatred still existed.

However, the fundamental reason that can make Belleveven stubborn, as he said, is because Marquis Gerald already has supporters behind him, willing to help Aurora's southern nobles.

Murphy didn't know what Belleveven and Roaina were doing towards him, and he was regretfully spreading his hands to Count Roger.

"Don't worry, you helped me, I will definitely find an opportunity to introduce you to many opportunities, as long as they are willing to believe in you like me, you can open up the situation here in the royal capital. Instead of dancing to the music, Count Rogge and Murphy found a small table in the corner, and the two sat down, and the waiter next to them immediately brought a goblet full of wine.

Murphy sat down, and from certain directions, began to roll winks, or a noblewoman quietly raised a goblet to him.

The parties and balls of the nobles are, to a certain extent, also a good opportunity to look for opportunities for each other, create ambiguity, and even find lovers.

Murphy was famous under a Saxon duke, and even got the favor of the duke's niece, he is not too strange to this kind of aristocratic circle of exchanges, but he is a little worse, mages and high-level samurai are born in the same social status as ordinary nobles, and even the boundaries between these have become more and more blurred, many times they are overlapping, the general small and medium-sized nobles, not all can inherit the family position, the second son of the family often has to get a family support in adulthood to set up their own door, and most of them are impossible to establish a branch family that is not inferior to their own family。

He replied to the secret summons with a slight toast, and at the same time said to Count Rogge: "Lord Earl, with all due respect, your investment is too conservative, I have helped you earn back your previous losses, and you have also taken back most of what you were robbed by the orcs before, why don't you take this great opportunity to listen to my full investment in stocks." ”

Count Rog smiled awkwardly, his previous trading caravan had been robbed by orc bandits. His caravan was originally to open a trade route between Turing City and the south, acting as a second-way trader, buying orcs' skins, raw materials, etc. from Turing City, and then transporting them back to the south for resale, and at the same time, he would also transport goods from the south to Turing City for trading, and the back and forth would not be empty.
