Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

At this point, it can be said that the Franklin side had already put forward the conditions for Asturian to join the empire.

Divide the output of the Mithril Mine in two, the portion that belongs to the royal family will be handed over as a tax package, and the rest of the Mithril output will continue to be used for Mithril coinage, to pay off previous debts, and to continue to maintain trade with the Orcs.

The latter part of the Mithril output is equivalent to being freed from the control of the Asturian royal family, and this part of the Mithril will be circulated in the form of currency in trade, by magicians, by orcs, by merchants, and by any creature who may have a relationship with the Free City.

Philip did not know if such an outcome would satisfy His Majesty Edward and the Marquis of Regina, and he roared as much as he could in front of the Free City, but finally relented.

However, he still did not immediately agree to Wang Qinian's request, but decided to immediately repair a letter, telling the city of St. Quentin about his brief experience in the city of freedom and the conditions he had heard.

He himself remained as an emissary, enjoying Franklin's hospitality while awaiting instructions from St. Quentin.

With Franklin's consent, Wang agreed to take a group of men out of the city to meet Viscount Philip's daughter, Brengalia.

It is worth mentioning that the messenger from Mordo, the Count of Sheldmont, left the Free City early in the morning.

Obviously, this gentleman has seen through Wang Qinian's tricks, and let the envoys of all parties know that the other party has a zài, and even meet directly, the purpose is to raise his own value.

But under the same conditions, the possibility of the Free City surrendering to Asturias is far greater than that of Modo, and the only thing that can compete is the Orcs, but the possibility of the Free City falling to the Orcs is also very small.

The swift departure of Count Schedermon made Wang Qinian feel slightly regretful, if Asturias refused to agree to the conditions, and Modo could agree, the Free City would choose the latter.

After leaving the city, Count Schedermon was glad that the city of liberty was not suspicious, and he had made a gesture of leaving in anger because he had been snubbed at the ball.

Xue Demeng felt glad that he was leaving, but at the same time, he trusted his judgment even more, and Franklin and the others were already doing their best to tackle the Viscount Philip.

Looking at the outline of the wilderness city that had been blurred, Count Schedermon sneered, he only came with a very low hope that the free city would directly belong to Modo, this possibility is very small, unless there is no competitor, only Modo alone to deter the country.

When the messengers of Asturias and the orcs appeared at the ball, Count Sheldmont knew immediately that this was impossible.

All he could do now was to join up with the White Feather Legion as he was coming, tell the Sù Legion what he had learned, and then hope that the White Feather Legion's thunderous blow would take the Free City before Asturias came to his senses.

------------

When Wang Qi began to prepare to go out of the city to meet Miss Burren Galia, the undercurrent in the city also began to surge.

"There's news, there's news. ”

Herman and Valery woke up from their closed eyes and took the news from their men from the Lord's Mansion.

The eyes and ears they had paid for with a lot of money finally came from the city lord's mansion to send news again, informing Wang Qinian that he would be going out of the city to meet Sir Philip's daughter.

The person they bought was only a servant in the city lord's mansion, and it was already the limit to be able to spread such news, so it was impossible to spread all the qiē that was born at the ball, and his vision was limited, even if he witnessed some, I am afraid that he would not realize the complexity of the struggle and the meaning behind it.

Therefore, from the human state, the orcs, and the free city, Herman did not know that if the dark merchant Duncan was personally sitting here, he might smell something unusual because of the arrival of the messengers of Asturias and Mordo, and the Mithril coinage line, so as to avoid some reckless behavior.

"It's so good that we've finally arrived. ”

Herman said excitedly, Valery also nodded, since accepting this task and being sent to deal with Wang Qinian, he has not had a chance in the past few months, so he can only stay in this room to monitor and wait for the opportunity, almost like being in prison, if he was not afraid of Duncan's anger, he would have wanted to go back a long time ago.

"Call all the men in the city back at once, assemble here, and then go out of the city in batches to meet the cage and prepare to snipe at the target. ”

"Yes!" all the black-clad men in the room replied in unison, and like the two leaders, they had been waiting impatiently, hoping to kill that annoying target quickly and go back to enjoying the life of wine and women.

---------

Wang Qinian didn't care too much about the departure of Count Xue Demeng, whether the earl's departure was intentional or really because of a momentary mood, thinking that he was left out in the cold, because the purpose of the Free City is only to have one party willing to accept his own conditions, if the two parties have the same conditions, they choose to hug with thick thighs, and the orcs are only used for bargaining.

When Franklin finally agreed to the additional terms offered by the orcs, the secret pact was concluded, and the Free City used the Orcs, and the Orcs used the Free City in the same way.

Although it is not a good thing for orcs to get the teleportation magic array, if they can't pass the level in front of them, don't think about how good they will be in the future.

And the collapse of the power of the Free City is definitely not a good thing for Wang Qinian, for example, the threat of the dark merchant will be plumped up immediately.

However, even Wang Qinian did not expect that Mr. Duncan had gone crazy enough to not only send a group of thugs, but even a formal slave hunting group for him.

Wang Qinian rode on the beast riding war horse, waiting for the carriage in the city lord's mansion.

The silent street was just him and the guards around him, who were about to go out of the city together to meet Burren Galia.

He didn't bring too many guards, because this was to greet, not to fight, not to show force, and the other party was a woman, and excessive display of force was easy to cause disgust in front of her and in front of the Viscount Philip.

Now is the critical time in the negotiations with Asturias, and any move that causes the other party to resent it is unwise, otherwise the viscount would not have been overstimulated to think that the Liberty City had a strong military power that would be detrimental to the Empire, and that such a message would be passed on to the city of St. Quentine.

At this time, it would be wisest to wait for the reaction of the city of Saint-Quentin in a gentle and low-key manner, and try to maintain a good relationship with Viscount Philip.

Therefore, Wang Qinian's pick-up move this time is a gesture of goodwill to Viscount Philip, but there is no need to make it seem like he is showing off his might.

The reason why he agreed to take Catherine with him at the ball was also based on the fact that he learned from the viscount that Philip's daughter Burren Gallia was also a fan of Catherine, so it was undoubtedly easy to get the favor of the eldest lady by bringing her idol.

Wang Qinian didn't know anything about this young lady, and he didn't expect his flattering behavior to play much of a role in the negotiation between the two sides, just that this young lady didn't bring additional variables or negative effects because of the benign interaction generated by the initial contact.

A qiē is still on the political zhì on its own interests and considerations to game, the city of freedom has been as planned as possible, and has made a lot of preparations.

The final result is no longer something that Franklin or Wang Qinian can control, as the so-called plan is in people, and success is in heaven.

The carriage approached slowly, a luxurious three-sedan carriage large enough to fit a large bed and a table.

"Catherine, are you in there?" asked Wang Qinian.

Catherine needed to go on an envoy with Wang Qinian, so she stayed in the city lord's mansion after the dance last night, and then went together in that horse in the morning to meet Miss Gallia of Burren.

This carriage was specially prepared for that young lady to show the importance of her, plus her favorite movie star accompanied her in the car to climb her, it shouldn't be difficult to get the favor of that noble lady, right?

"Yes, I'm in it. Catherine's voice was a little nervous.

Wang Qinian didn't care, and waved his hand to signal that the team could come out.

The cavalry of the Guards of beasts and horses marched forward in a crowd of carriages, and some of the carriages were also entering the gate of Guò as they passed through the gates.

Someone in the carriage opposite seemed to see Wang Qinian, and someone stretched out the carriage to say hello to him.

"Hi Solomon, here we are. ”

The identity of the person Wang Qinian recognized was the rotating mage Gu Elo whom he had met when he went to the Wizards' Guild to become an official mage.

"Great, please, the promise of Free City will not change, whether it takes your help or not. ”

Guero nodded, retracted into the carriage, and Wang Qinian's team stopped, allowing the carriage to pass through Guò before leaving the city.

This seemingly inconspicuous encounter at the gate of the city, only Wang Qinian and the other party knew the meaning, and after Wang Qinian left the city, within this day, 6 more magicians arrived in the city of freedom.

After leaving the city, Wang Qinian led the team to the wilderness in the direction of St. Quentine, according to Sir Philip, counting the itinerary, Miss Burrengalia's party should be almost there, as long as it meets halfway, the escort back will be completed.

An hour after the team left, a subordinate suddenly reported that Catherine in the carriage in the center of the team had something to look for Wang Qinian.

Wang Qinian was a little surprised, he came to the side of the carriage, slowed down, and rode along.

"What's wrong, Catherine?"

"It's a little trouble, I don't know if I should tell you?" Catherine snapped out.

"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly. Wang Qinian felt a little bad.

"That orc, the Wolf named England, may follow. Catherine said.

Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, and then understood in Catherine's account that England had been pestering since he saw Catherine at the ball, even this morning, early in the morning, to see Catherine again, but it did not succeed.

Wang Qinian couldn't help but subconsciously look behind him, Wolf might really be behind the welcome team.

For this impulsive and belligerent Wolf, Wang Qinian has no good way, and now he needs the support of the orcs, and England's elder brother Winston and Sidipater are still hiding in the city lord's mansion.

For the future situation, if there is a qiē shun lì, then all the back hands are not needed.

However, once the situation deteriorated, the Free City spent a lot of money this time, and the debt crisis that was told to Viscount Philip earlier was not self-defilement, but fact.

From the beginning of the plan, the coinage output of Free City was deliberately used mainly for transactions with ordinary merchants, while transactions with orcs were secured by bank notes, which were not originally direct debts, and with the support of Mithril Mine, the redemption of bank notes was guaranteed.

But if the Mithril Mine is to be handed over to the Asturian royal family, the bank notes will be turned into waste paper.

Because of this, the orcs may intervene to stop it, and it will become a backhand for the future Free City to deal with the threat of other forces, as well as the magicians that Wang Qinian met when he left the city.

It is the Guild of Wizards of the Free City, a magician secretly invited in return for the minting of Mithril, and any magician who is invited to come to the Free City in the name of academic research as long as they are willing to accept the invitation, all the expenses are paid by the Free City.

During the invitation, if someone attacks Liberty City, these mages will act as another follow-up to Liberty City.

Even if the worst is not expected, each Mage will be rewarded with twenty Mithril coins, each of which is now worth thirty mana points in the Mage's Guild.

This expenditure alone shows that Franklin and his family are really sparing no cost in order to deal with this crisis, and at least hundreds of magicians will come to Liberty City because of this.

Of course, most of the mages who come are mid-level and low-level mages, and high-level mages will not come for a mere reward worth 300 magic points.

More mages could have been invited, but due to the inconvenience of inviting magicians to be detected by Modo, Free City asked not to invite Modo's magicians as much as possible, and Gu Ero met by Wang Qinian was one of the few magicians from Modo.

Therefore, even if the young Wolf followed behind the team, it was not convenient for Wang Qinian to drive him away, not to mention that he had not done anything excessive.

"Leave him alone, he won't be in Liberty City for long. Wang Qinian comforted.

Catherine tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and at this time, other voices faintly came from the carriage, which made Wang Qinian's face change suddenly.

"Who's in your car?"

"It's me, Teacher Solomon. A voice came out of the carriage with a slight fear, and it turned out to be Agatha.

"You, why are you in the carriage?" Wang Qinian's head suddenly became bigger.

"I want to come out and see, I'm bored at home all day. The little girl who was about to grow into a girl said confidently.

At this time, Catherine smiled bitterly: "Actually, the little trouble I wanted to talk about just now is this." "PS: Do you want to put a wedge in front of the text
