Franklin and Chris had always had a good relationship with Solomon, and they also helped to overthrow Margaret, agreeing to create friction at the time, and then forcibly expelling the Mithril Mine garrison near Free City to lure Freria's Guards to attack.

Although it didn't work, Freiris ignored the strict provocation of the central authority of the Free City with the most prudent strategy, and only wanted to wait until the end of the battle of the East Beast Plains to deal with it, and finally forced the third duke to make a political promise and interest support to Duke Aldrich, and launched the so-called "Qing Jun's side" rebel army, which made Siting lead part of the Guards to attack.

But Solomon still cherishes the love of the Free City, compared to the Third Duke and Aldrich, the Free City supports him more reliably, not to mention that he also has a different relationship with Agatha, not to look at the face of the monk but also to look at the face of the Buddha.

Franklin and Chris weren't troublemakers, and Solomon couldn't help but wonder what they were sending to see him for.

This must be a bit of a heavy one, otherwise Franklin would have had another way to contact him, such as a magic fax through the guò banking system, rather than having to send someone.

On the way to the meeting, Solomon guessed, but for a while he couldn't think of anything Franklin would be so cautious, the Mithril Mine is now also in the hands of the Free City, and the kingdom has not been recovered, Solomon intends to acquiesce to the actual control of the Free City for a few years and then take it back, which can be regarded as a reward for the Free City.

So what else would happen?

When Solomon saw the visitors from the Free City, Rao was already surprised, but he had already guessed something.

Because he thought that Bernhard would come at most. That's an old friend of his, too. But what he saw turned out to be Franklin himself.

Suddenly, a bad feeling came over Solomon. "Something happened, you actually came in person. ”

Franklin turned his head abruptly and stared at Solomon like a beast, and Solomon felt a little weak.

"Are you the person Agatha likes?"

Solomon wanted to tell a lie, but he honestly said, "Yes, she likes me." ”

"Oh my God. Franklin's eyes suddenly shattered like glass, and he raised his hands to cover his face and muttered, "I don't know." How did this qiē happen and how long has it been?"

Solomon's lips opened and closed, closed and opened, and he was a little embarrassed to tell Franklin how he had a super-friendly relationship with his daughter, and he really didn't know what to say, especially now that he was a married man.

Franklin's voice was sleepwalking, frustrated, "Well, you don't have to explain anything to me just yet. Because that's not the most important thing, although I certainly wouldn't approve of your relationship becoming like this. But who's to say it's already happened. ”

"Actually, Agatha and I are quite happy. Solomon hastened.

"But she's missing now. Franklin exclaimed.

"Missing?" Solomon was finally surprised, this girl was fine a month ago, and he didn't see her for a month, because he had asked for leave from the Wizarding Institute and Cecilia, and she planned to go home to see it, and the afternoon before leaving, she had a special affair with Solomon.

"When?"

"Half a month ago, she returned to Free City, and came back to visit me, and I was so happy that I did something stupid to think about now, and I told her that she was of marriageable age, and that the son of the Aldrich family, the only son of Count Gustav, and several other candidates were interested in marrying us......" Franklin's voice grew lower.

But Solomon had a rough idea of what was going on, and Agatha happily went back to her family, but Franklin told her that she should consider marrying, and the girl disappeared.

Solomon breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this is at least not the worst outcome, if it is kidnapped it will be more troublesome, but it is also a real headache.

“...... She was in a hurry, and she didn't take a lot of things with her, maybe because she was afraid that I would really marry her off, and I rummaged through some of the things she left behind, and found one or two of them that you gave her, so I guessed your relationship ......." Franklin's voice was old and tired, "and then I will use my strength to find her." ”

"Where is she now?" said Solomon in a deep voice, "as long as you know her whereabouts, I will go and meet her, and she will not blame you." ”

In the face of Solomon's "kindness", Franklin nodded and said, "I think the same way, maybe only you can get her back to me." But her whereabouts, I can only find out that she entered the county of Mistry. ”

"Mistrith," Solomon said in a lost voice, "how did she end up there?"

Mistri County was home to the Bourbons, so how could Agatha go there? Solomon couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there were still Bourbon people in there?

Franklin's words quickly cleared his doubts, "She wants to avoid me, don't you know that the Bourbons are claiming that they are willing to see a new alien plane they have discovered open? That alien plane seems to be somewhat powerful, and the Bourbons are unable to establish a foothold there, and recently I don't know why it was suddenly announced that it could allow any adventurer to enter, on the condition that they assist the Bourbons in establishing a fortress city there and guarding it." ”

Solomon immediately summoned Gera and ordered him to immediately investigate what had happened to the Bourbons.

In the evening, he was rewarded with a general understanding of the affairs of the Bourbons and the relationship with Agatha.

This should all happen around the Ligurian plane, with the strength of the Bourbons, they can't conquer the Ligurian plane alone, and they are unwilling to give up before, Krausa has the heart to persuade his father and family to throw out the interests of this plane like the interests of Solomon to the Fadel plane, or contribute to the kingdom, but ask for a permanent monopoly on the right to operate, or simply go public in the form of shares, raise funds and unite with the other two dukes to join the shares, and establish a large private army to obtain greater benefits.

Most of the kingdoms will not agree to the first option, the permanent monopoly is too lion's mouth, and Solomon's Black Rock Plane is the first to eat crabs, and it has only been a hundred years. Of course, this is different from the great nobles opening up the plane. These families have private armies. They will hide it and not report it, and then open it up on their own with their own private army, and will not ask the kingdom for help, and the kingdom will not be able to interfere.

But the military power of the dukes has declined, and the Ligurian plane is a silver-level plane, and the Bourbons themselves can't eat it at all, so they will keep dragging it out.

Instead, Kraussa wanted to imitate Solomon's stock listing. Although it is a little different, Solomon was originally listed by Fadell Plane Development Co., Ltd., which held the monopoly of Fadell Plane, while Krausa wanted to list the stock that the company could get by holding Liguria, including land and sovereignty, and would become an independent kingdom outside of Asturias. He intends to raise funds in the form of shares and gather powerful families to seek to develop together, which is equivalent to establishing a state in the Ligurian plane in the form of a company.

This plan can be said to be too ambitious, and even the Bourbon family itself cannot agree to it, because even if there are responders, the Bourbon family will have to invest many manpower and material resources, and if it fails, it will be over.

Plus the changes in the back. The matter of the Ligurian plane was put on hold for the time being, and the big plan could not be carried out. But the merchants of the Bourbon family also needed to recruit guards to travel between the two planes, and the matter of Liguria was no longer just news, but many people knew about the existence of this plane.

But after Solomon proposed the Plane Control Law, there was not much time left for the Bourbons.

First, this plane is already known and cannot be hidden, and second, it is difficult to hide the source of any plane that wants to conduct large-scale trade.

It is not denied that legendary mages and some high-level mages can set up dimensional passages after knowing the plane coordinates, but unless you do not conduct large-scale trade, only a few mages trade alone, or the transaction volume is extremely low, and the scope of involvement is very small, otherwise as long as it is large-scale trade, this is impossible to hide, especially in Asturias, where industry and commerce are becoming more and more developed, the tax vertical collection and management system established by the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been independently investigated, and Solomon has also clearly stated in the plane control law that a special vertical industrial and commercial organization will be established to regulate trade; technically, the larger the portal, the more difficult it is to hide the impact on the environmentAny family that has set up a private portal, unless the portal and cargo area set up are kept within a very small range and do not expand, and they have to use a magic array that consumes extremely mana power to cover up the energy fluctuations of the portal, so that it is possible to hide the detection.

However, in terms of cost, this is obviously not cost-effective, it is very likely to be a loss-making transaction, the scope is small, the smuggling is sneaky, and it has to spend a very high price to cover up, so if the trade maintained by the private portal is not so profitable that it can only lose money.

Apparently Liguria could not do this, and Solomon refused to let go of the proposal of the Plane Control Law, so the Bourbons had to settle for the next best thing, but even then, they still had to have a real stronghold in Liguria before they could present to the Kingdom that they were the actual and main pioneers of this plane.

After this purpose is achieved, they can enjoy monopoly rights and interests as forerunners of the development of the Ligurian plane after the implementation of the Plane Control Law, or partial monopoly rights.

So now the goal of the Bourbons is no longer to unrealistically see this plane as their own unique backyard, but to confirm their identity as pioneers as far as possible, which must be done before the plane control law is passed in parliament, where they have to build an effective stronghold.

After talking to Solomon, Kraussa finally persuaded the elders of the family, and then contacted the commodity exchange to promote the establishment of a Ligurian Development Co., Ltd., and the Duke of Bourbon personally visited the other two dukes.

This company is ready to go public to raise funds to establish a private army, and it is impossible to conquer Liguria, but if it is only used to establish a real bridgehead and stand firm, it is enough to confirm the identity of the main pioneer, and the Bourbons can hand over this plane to the kingdom, just like Solomon did in the Faddell plane, only to get monopoly trade and other rights, so that there is no need to worry about subsequent military spending, occupation and maintenance.

So what does this have to do with Agatha?

The relationship lies in the fact that because Liguria is semi-public, there have always been adventurers recruited to become caravan guards, and even the Bourbons will receive some high fees, and some risky caravans, explorers, and magicians will be secretly allowed to enter, so these acts have been a bit semi-public long ago.

As a result of Franklin's visit to Solomon's investigation, Agatha left the Free City and ran there, perhaps thinking that she could escape her father's forced marriage.

In short, she went to the county of Mystry, and it is not known whether she joined the caravan or went to Liguria as an independent explorer and independent researcher.

Three days later, Guerra reported to Solomon after an in-depth investigation into the incident, and there was no other indication that she was still in Mistri.

And if the Bourbons were crazy enough to rob her before the invention in the hope that Solomon would not come up with the plane control law, then they should have negotiated with Solomon a long time ago, instead of frantically having afternoon tea with Kindleberg of the Commodity Exchange all day long, hoping that he would help speed up the process.
