Chapter One Hundred and One: Strange Aristocrats

In the eyes of many nobles of Roland City who do not know the Davo family, the current patriarch of one of the four wealthy families of the imperial capital, Master Dante Davo, is a low-key and even very withdrawn nobleman.

Because the Duke has not appeared in public at all since he came to Roland City, no Roland people have seen His Excellency the Duke so far. He was reluctant to show up for such a momentous event as Empress Bixia's arrival and the memorial ceremony of the Grand Duke of West a year ago.

The more mysterious things are, the more curious human beings are, the better they are at guessing and analyzing, using their imagination and releasing all kinds of strange and strange rumors.

Therefore, there are a lot of rumors about this duke, and the more positive speculation is probably that this duke is not in good health, and he is more aware of current affairs and is reluctant to come forward to affect the government affairs of Roland City, and is committed to cultivating the first heir of the family, Miss Hiro, to take the throne, so he has delegated all his powers, and so on.

And there are many more negative rumors, such as this guy is arrogant and indifferent, and he doesn't even bother to say hello to the empress when she comes, or that this duke's majesty nests in the mansion every day eating, drinking, getting drunk, dreaming and dying.

Even the more outrageous statement is that the Duke is extremely embarrassed to see people because of his own cultivation inheritance. Of course, zuihou is pure nonsense, after all, there is a big lady of the Davo family who has a bad temper but looks and figures are the best choice, and often shows up, and I am afraid it is impossible to say that the genetic mutation of this family is unreasonable.

The West's family had actually sent people to collect information about the master, but even from the intelligence gathering in the imperial capital, the Duke of Dante Davo was also virtuous in the imperial capital. It is said that the only few times he appeared in public was a few decades ago, when he was given the title of duke by the previous Emperor Olympus. and at the memorial ceremony after the death of Olympus III, and later he did not even attend the enthronement ceremony of Empress Doro.

"Could this guy belong to the royal opposition faction?"

At first, a lot of people thought so. However, it was later discovered that the Davo family also rarely had even ceremonial exchanges with other families in the imperial capital, and even often talked about the Degens family, the leader of the royal opposition, and there were countless disputes between them, and judging from various intelligence analysis, they were not deliberately pretended.

"The disagreement between the Davo family and the Degens family, one of the earliest speculations is this, in fact, the relationship between the two families was not bad more than forty years ago, and it was relatively harmonious, but then His Excellency Dante Davo, um. He was only ten years old at the time, and he had a big argument with the current patriarch of the Dragonborne, Rexter Degens, which later led to the breakup of friendship between the two clans......"

Hart, the half-elf clan patriarch in charge of Roland's intelligence department, said the information about the old yellow calendar that took a lot of time to investigate, but his tone was a little confused.

"What kind of dispute can cause two great nobles to break off their relationship?"

“...... Well, judging from the information," Hart glanced at the information in his hand again with some unconfidence, and said with some hesitation: "It seems that it was because of the incident of fighting for food at Dante Davo's birthday party, so the two patriarchs who were still children fought at that time, which led to the later ...... I think maybe there's something wrong with this information. ”

All the family members who were present to listen to the information at that time nodded at the same time. It is completely impossible to feel that such a trivial reason will lead to the breakdown of the originally harmonious relationship between the two families, or even turn against each other.

....................................

"Anything is possible with this shijie. ”

Achieved made a little arrangement to have a maid disguised as a member of the Golden Chrysanthemum Guild who was attached to his baron's mansion. A special box is delivered to the Duke of Davo's mansion and a name slip is handed over. Of course, in order for everything to go well, it is inevitable to send a little janitor or something, these are small things.

This is a very simple and common way to give gifts. However, the gift is indeed aimed at the other person's preferences. Especially for a man with a special temperament like Dante Davo, ordinary gifts will certainly not impress him. You need to do what you like to have a chance to meet him. Get the opportunity to network.

Due to his unique knowledge of much of these famous figures, Head's approach to intelligence gathering was unique. It was also very targeted, so he only sent a man to a nearby targeted place to test it slightly, and then confirmed his judgment and formulated a plan.

Because the gift he had given was very much in line with the master's wishes, Hede was able to get the opportunity to meet the patriarch of the Davo family.

Although Dante Davo is over 50 years old, he looks similar to a middle-aged man in his thirties, because after reaching the master's level, he can prolong his life to a large extent and maintain his physical condition at the best level.

The iconic black hair and purple eyes are a fixed feature brought by the bloodline and inheritance of the Davo family, and because the crystal nucleus that the Davo family's demon inheritance needs to take is very special, so Duke Dante not only looks a slightly dark and healthy complexion, his face is handsome, and he also has a special demonic charm in his temperament.

"I loved the gift you sent. Dante Davo got straight to the point, "Tell me which part of the pterodactyl meat it was, and although I could tell it was pterodactyl, I was surprised that it was not able to tell which part it belonged to." ”

Hade still saluted according to aristocratic etiquette before replying, "That's the crystal meat near the pterodactyl crystal nucleus, with a little special treatment. ”

"Oh, no wonder it tastes so special. Dante was visibly interested, and invited Hade to sit down and began to talk to him about the choice of cooking ingredients.

"The piece of crystal meat wrapped in the crystal nucleus in the body of various demonic beasts is located in the center of the blood, vein, nerves and source power transmission in the body of demonic beasts, and it does have very high nutritional value, but due to the influence of various attribute source forces, the general taste of this crystal meat is very weird, and it is not very suitable as an ingredient, I have studied it for many years to come to this conclusion, but now there are other possibilities. ”

"How exactly do you get rid of this smell?" asked Dante Davo with great interest.

Heide didn't sell it, and replied directly: "It uses a special fruit produced by the Elven Empire, the purifying effect of the Dragon Wood Fruit. The peculiar smell of this piece of crystal meat was removed, so that the most tender fleshy part of this demonic beast could become the top ingredient. Especially dragon monsters. ”

"Dragonwood?" it seems that Dante Davo did not know about this particular fruit.

"Well, it's something very special. Recently, I am preparing to start a farm for livestock and wood dragons, specializing in the production of dragon wood fruits. ”

Hede, of course, had already prepared, he took out a box and took out the alchemical glass bottle inside, which contained a clear liquid with a pale green color.

"It's the juice of the dragon fruit, although it's not much. Head explained. "However, the amount of crystal meat outside the crystal nucleus in the body of various demonic beasts is not large, so it only takes a few drops to remove the special smell of crystal meat, and then it is much more convenient to carry out various seasonings. ”

"It's a really nice side dressing. The handsome patriarch of the Davo family smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I like your gift very much. ”

................................................

To put it simply, Dante Davo, the patriarch of the Davo family, was actually a chef who was obsessed with cooking...... He has loved all kinds of cooking skills since he was a child, and he is not even willing to inherit the family business and get involved in complex aristocratic circles, but the Davo family has always been a family with not too many descendants, so some things are not up to him.

But the patriarch of the Davo family, whose ideal was to be a great chef, had a strong affection for the food he cooked with great care, and a very strong sense of self-esteem for his own skill, and could not be criticized for his hobbies and ideals at will.

In fact, Dante Davo is very talented, even if it is not too much to call it a genius. He didn't pay much attention to inheritance and cultivation at all, and put a lot of energy into his hobbies, but his own cultivation inheritance advanced rapidly. At the age of ten, he broke through the fourth-order strength, which can be called a miracle in the history of the human empire.

With excellent strength and the family background of the duke's heir, he is handsome and outstanding, and he is simply the pride of the sky. Inadvertently, Dante Davo overpowered another genius of the time. That is, the heir of the dragon vein, Lexter, is a big cut, which makes the heir of the dragon vein family who has been working hard to cultivate but was left behind by such a guy very unhappy, and he is extremely jealous of him.

On Dante's tenth birthday. He cooked his own delicacies to entertain his close relatives and friends. But his parents felt that he had spent so much effort on such a trivial matter, and they did not praise him. Depressed, he was later sneered at by Rexter, the heir to the Degens family at the same time. This made him fight with the heir of the dragon vein at that time.

"You idiot, you've spent your whole life in the kitchen doing what slaves do. ”

It has to be said that the patriarch of the Dragon Veiners, who was only eleven years old at the time, already had very broad ideals, and scoffed at Dante's ridiculous ideals, and then often ridiculed his hobbies, and hyped up the Davo family's boys in his own faction's aristocratic circles as a waste.

"The megalomaniac of the Degens family, you will regret it later. ”

Although Dante Davo has special hobbies, he is not a very kind and generous person in essence, and he has not hidden his bad feelings for the Dragonveiner family since then, and this genius is indeed very qualified, and it only took half of his efforts to match the genius heir Renxter who is proclaimed by the Dragonveiner family in all aspects.

From then on, the two boys began to pull each other's backs and hit their opponents in various ways.

The vicious rivalry between the two geniuses intensified until they were sixteen years old, and an incident occurred that made them complete enemies.

It started because Dante Davo fell in love with a commoner girl who also loved cooking.

However, just as the aiqing between the nobles and the commoners usually had a difficult development with a happy ending, Dante was not allowed to formally marry the commoner girl as his wife in the first place. And then his vicious rival, Lexter Degens, who was already calling himself Serapod at the time, also secretly intervened.

There is nothing to say about the detailed process, it is nothing more than the set that the children of the nobility often do. In short, the ordinary looking and not even very good look, the civilian girl, unfortunately died.

Dante Davo will never forget the corpse of the commoner girl he deliberately found, the original chubby simple girl was dried by the Serapod Dragon King using a special method, and he also left a note anonymously.

It reads: "I helped you make her body so beautiful and moving." Thank me. ”

Dante, who was sixteen at the time, was strong and did not have any emotional fluctuations. Not even a single tear was shed for the poor civilian girl, he just silently cremated her body. Her ashes were carefully collected and treasured.

Dante Davo was silent for a while, and then one day he seized an opportunity to engage in a "duel between the nobles of Friends" with the lone Lexter.

The duel between the two human young geniuses, who had also reached the eighth order at the age of sixteen and had initially comprehended the domain ability, only took ten minutes to duel this time, and both of them were very cautious but did not hesitate to make a ruthless move. However, after all, the two of them were still young and vigorous at the time, and they both used their momentary blood to promote their emotions, and when they arrived at Zuihou, they had already used the power of the domain that they had not yet fully mastered without any scruples.

Therefore, the consequence of this duel is that the two young geniuses have been hit hard like never before, and it is basically a lose-lose ending, and even brought serious sequelae to the two genius boys. The power of the two people's unique realm had begun to show its edge at this time, and the damage they had suffered to each other could only save their lives with the best efforts of their own family. It is impossible to completely eradicate the damage caused by the power of the realm in their bodies.

Olympus III, who was still alive at the time, heard the news and personally intervened to stop the split between the two families, which was likely to be caused by this incident. With the intervention of the royal family of Olympus, the matter was not included in the records of the House of Heraldry, and remained in the hearts of a few insiders.

"These two little guys are really ......," Olympus III shook his head with a wry smile and made a comment, "The two peerless geniuses who might have broken through the master realm before the age of twenty-five were abolished like this." ”

Although the two once-in-a-century geniuses cannot be regarded as falling, they are equivalent to abolishing most of them.

As a result of this influence, it was not until he was thirty-seven years old that the Serapod Rexter Degens broke through his boundaries to become a master and become a veritable king of dragons. With a nickname that only a few people know, Dante "The Devil" Davo did not become a master until he was thirty-nine years old.

Although since then under the surveillance of the Emperor of Olympus. For the time being, neither of them continued to hit each other with direct means.

The price paid by the two affected their lives, and at the same time, it also affected some subtle changes in the aristocratic circle of the entire imperial capital.

However, this past hatred made both of them determined to destroy everything for the other. As time went on, both young people became more deeply aware of the many things that would go into understanding the feud thoroughly. It's not just as simple as completely destroying the other party's existence.

In short, this event led to a change in Dante Davo's ideals.

I'm sure to cook Lexter's corpse into the finest dish and enjoy it slowly. This was the vow that Dante Davo made in his heart at that time.

So his hobby since then has been studying how to cook food with dragon ingredients, and he has not cared much about other things. Step by step, with the steps of each noble son, political marriage. Serve in the army and raise offspring. With the support of the family, he slowly climbed up, and his qualifications still ensured that his status as the first heir had not changed in the slightest.

But even so, Dante did not forget his hatred for the Dragon-Veiner family. This hatred did not fade with the passage of time, but gradually expanded in his heart like fermentation.

This also caused Dante Davo to be very dissatisfied with the gradual gain of power by the royal family in recent years, and he did not have a good impression of Empress Dolu and the royal faction.

This has gradually made the Davo family a somewhat neutral position now, not participating in the royal faction, and also having a bad impression of the Dragon's Pulse faction, I have to say that Dante Davo is actually a nobleman who is not very qualified, because even if the current situation has no advantage for the Davo family, he has not chosen to forget the hatred.

This information was well known to Blade, although with the death of a few insiders, no one except for the two parties knew about it, and even the current Empress Dolu did not know.

So he thinks it's very likely that the Davo family will become an ally in advance. After all, in the original course of history, after the "Bloody Empress's Birthday" incident of the Iron Empress Dolu, the Davo family immediately turned to completely support the Empress, and the patriarch of this family was not even interested in power, and giving him the opportunity to eradicate the descendants of the dragon vein bloodline was the greatest reward.

..........................................

After playing with the bottle for a while, Duke Dante remembered that he didn't know the name of the black-haired young man, and couldn't help but smile a little apologetically and said: "I'm a little paranoid about my hobbies, and when I talk about it, I will be too involved and forget etiquette, judging from your name, you should be a member of the West family, right?"

"Yes, my name is Have. Head briefly introduced his name and identity.

"Hmm. Duke Dante nodded slightly, and after a while, he said slowly: "So your intention to be a lobbyist for the West family today?"

"Actually, I was looking for some investment. Hade didn't immediately indicate his intentions, but moved on to another topic, "That is, the property of the dragon wood fruit, I wonder if His Excellency Dante has any intentions?"

"Let's talk about it first. ”

Even if he rarely shows up, it doesn't mean that Duke Dante doesn't know much about interest analysis and verbal communication, so he didn't reply immediately.

Cooperation can start small, and Hede knows this, so he tries to start with the hobbies of the patriarch of the Davo family first, and slowly bring them closer with some small interests that are not very big.
