Proof of the Sun King

The atmosphere in the banquet hall of Marienburg was hot, and the big businessmen gathered together to discuss how to give this disobedient king of knights a slap in the face and make him remember.

In the opinion of this businessman, Ryan should not do anything, that is, he would not ask them to borrow money when he was short of money, but wanted to build up the Bafengshan national debt, which had to be borrowed from Marienburg. They absorbed the deposits of the bourgeoisie through the channels, and left them without giving them any benefits. Not only did they not hand over the spoils of the Great Crusade to them, but they also did not allow them to participate in the dividends. This really made the business princes of Marienburg angry. Itchy teeth.

Originally, the Great Expedition was about making money with anger, making money with everyone, and sharing the profits with everyone. Now you are making a national debt to bypass us to raise military funds in Marienburg. What does this mean?

In simple terms, this is called fishing out of bounds.

Just when everyone was hotly discussing, Viscount Casanova, the chairman of the second largest Chamber of Commerce Gentlemen's Union in Marienburg, felt a little different.

In the resplendent Coburg banquet hall, gorgeous banquets and **** after ball, the party is going on continuously, the big businessmen of Marienburg and various artists, nobles, socialites, poets or academics attend Partying and making friends, eating together, discussing all kinds of avant-garde art and fashionable dress, talking about old world news and attending dances, everyone is dressed in bright clothes, and many of the delicious wine and food at the banquet are bought by many people who work outside. The great luxury goods people enjoy themselves in the luxurious manor belonging to the Viscount Casanova.

After a brief discussion about how to crack down on the Bafengshan national debt and force the Brittanian royal family to submit, Viscount Casanova sat in his luxurious private office, watching the dance floor below dancing to the music through the Phnom Penh window. People, Marienburg's second-largest trader always felt that something wasn't right.

I can't seem to say exactly what's not quite right.

Casanova is less than 50 years old this year. He has inherited a very rich legacy from his father, Cabalredo, and has further carried it forward. This businessman is worth hundreds of thousands of gold marks. The field covers every industry in Marienburg and radiates the entire empire and Britannia, and also has trade contracts with the high elves.

The Viscount sat on the desk made of fine wenge and the owner's chair on the single sofa. He thought repeatedly, what was the problem?

Is it Van Hoogelsmann?

No, the predecessor of the Juton Chamber of Commerce was a descendant of the royal family of the Juton Kingdom, which used to be an independent kingdom that existed in what is now Marienburg about 2,000 years ago, and was later conquered by the Emperor Sigismund II and was Merged into the Empire, after the Three Emperors Rebellion, Marienburg gradually began to become completely independent and separated from the Empire, until after the Great Holy War Marienburg once again swore to the new Emperor, the Savior Ludwig, but maintained its independence and autonomy. , This group of people is afraid that the world will not be chaotic before they can make money. They may no longer have the idea of ​​​​returning the country, but they are second to none in terms of maintaining independence and making money.

Is it Merry Adabe?

It’s not like, Adabe’s idea Casanova can be said to know very well, the underground world of Marienburg has always had a distant talk, that is, who can get cheap from Adabe’s hands, it must be his That thing is waiting, obviously he is eyeing Queen Surya, maybe others don't know, but Casanova has a deep understanding of what Adabe does and his character.

So what exactly went wrong?

"President, this is the guest list for today's visit." Casanova's secretary, a blond woman with huge long legs, wearing a white shirt, red coat and hip skirt, walked over tenderly. With long, wavy, honey-gold hair, it looks beautiful: "Do you need to take a look?"

"Bring it." Casanova smiled and motioned the secretary to hand over the list to her. The female secretary was overjoyed when she saw this. She quickly approached and bent down on purpose, so that the Viscount could see the scenery in her neckline, and at the same time, her finger was on Casanova. Nova's palm lightly stroked.

This is some kind of code, Casanova naturally understands, and Dahaoshang shook his head: "Not tonight."

The blonde female secretary was a little disappointed, seeing that Casanova had a firm attitude, so she could only nod her head, twist her body, and leave the room.

Casanova smiled meaningfully after looking at the back of the female secretary. Apart from pouring tea and water, handing over documents, and resolving his needs, his female secretary was basically useless. At the beginning of his career, his eleven female secretaries were all such women. Each female secretary was full of confidence that she could become his wife, but none of Casanova's female secretaries was over twenty-four years old. of.

This is almost tired of playing, it's time to let the director Johannes help him find a new one.

and many more! Casanova suddenly realized something, this guy immediately took the list and read it carefully.

That's right! Archduke Schultz is not here! He did not participate in this banquet!

The reason why Schultz didn't come is very normal, because Ryan used his channel to issue Bafengshan national debt, so the controller of Marienburg needs to avoid suspicion, no matter how the businessmen of the city council discuss the Bafengshan national debt and secretly interfere, On the bright side, panic remarks and selling anxiety are constantly being spread, and Schultz has always remained silent!

The businessmen, they all thought that Schultz kept silent all the time just to avoid suspicion, but Casanova had a vague feeling.

Schultz's silence may not be avoiding suspicion.

"Come on, arrange a carriage for me immediately, I'm going to the Marienburg City Council Hall!" Casanova raised his head suddenly.

"But now, sir, there is a banquet." Johannes, his steward, came in from outside, surprised by the order of his lord.

"Didn't you hear my order?!"

"Yes! Master, I'll prepare now."

In this way, Casanova's own luxurious manor Coburg is still holding a grand banquet, but the owner of the manor is riding a carriage and disappeared into the quiet night.

About twenty minutes later, Marienburg, Amber Avenue, Marienburg City Council Hall.

Archduke Vander Cooper-Schultz, who has ruled Marienburg for three decades, is sitting in his luxurious office with an artifact, a golden key, in his hand.

This key is called the "Key to the Gate of Marienburg City Council". This key has the blessings of Hendrick, the **** of high-elf wealth, the lady of human wealth, and Mannan, the **** of sea. Owning this key means not only having one of them Strong power also means having the supreme authority of the city of Marienburg.

"Casanova? It's a rare guest. You're not holding a banquet at your manor. Why are you here?" Archduke Schultz sat behind the desk. The large desk was filled with many exquisite decorations. Marin The Grand Duke of Fort was wearing a silk dress with a fox fur coat over it, with a deep smile on his face.

"The banquet is a bit boring, so I came here to have a look." The president of the Gentlemen's League put his eyes and attention on Schultz's table. In addition to the common patterns of skulls, irises and double-headed eagles, Casar Nova also saw some new small sculptures.

A beautiful female warrior wearing golden ornate plate armor with a lot of scriptures on the plate armor, with wings on her back, holding a long sword, soaring in the sky, burning some enemies, she is not wearing a helmet, her face is full of tears. Is it a devout fanaticism, and to Casanova's surprise, there is actually an iron halo behind this female warrior's head? !

Hey, if the romantic Adabe saw such a sacred and inviolable woman, he would probably react immediately, Casanova thought.

Another trumpet sculpture is a statue of a man dressed in blue full-body plate armor, with a laurel crown on his head, holding a huge flaming sword, and standing proudly. The man's large face is both handsome and infectious. , and full of charisma, obviously a warrior, his navy blue armor is covered with a pattern of golden double-headed eagles, a large "u" symbol on the shoulder armor, and a ribbon on it, Cassano Wa wanted to read the words on the ribbon clearly, but he was a little short-sighted and was too embarrassed to get too close: "I can't believe that you have such a hobby, Grand Duke? What is this, a chess piece? That group of imperial nobles' games?"

"A chess piece? That's right." Schultz was sitting behind the desk, he noticed that Casanova seemed to be interested in these figures, so he smiled: "It seems that you are interested in Your Excellency the Saint Celestine. Interested in the great Lord Guilliman? Too bad I can't give this to you, because it's what he gave me."

"Saints? Great Your Excellency? I don't even recognize them." Casanova really had some thoughts in his heart, but when he heard Schultz say this, Dahaoshang immediately changed his attitude: "How could I treat such obscurity? The guy is interested, Celestine? Guilliman? There are no two of them in the history of the Empire, at least I haven't heard of them."

"Hahaha~ Read more, young man." Schultz smiled, a light flashed in the Grand Duke's eyes, he got up and took out two goblets and a bottle of Palaon brandy from his wine cabinet: "Casanova, we've known each other for nearly forty years. You were a ten-year-old at the time... Would you like a drink?"

"Of course, good wine is always sacred." Casanova took the glass: "Forty years ago, you were like this."

"Hahaha~" Schultz and Casanova clink glasses. The two of them took a sip from the glass goblet and sat down.

The moonlight fell on Schultz's office, behind Casanova, the Archduke of Marienburg and the Senator of the House of Lords of Marienburg looked at each other, not saying a word to each other, Schultz seemed very calm and patient, Casanova Nova was watching the Grand Duke's every move, but the person in front of him seemed to be impeccable, and he could never see anything.

Casanova knew Schultz. He was very aware of the horror of this grand duke. Before his father Caballero died, he told his son not to go to war with Schultz, even if he did. Leave room for mediation.

After a while of silence, Casanova said, "Have you heard about the latest thing?"

"Well, I heard." Schultz nodded.

"What about the House of Lords?"

"Of course, I know." Schultz continued: "I can only keep silent out of suspicion. After all... Marienburg is a free trading city, they have the freedom to choose, no matter what they do, as long as I will not object to those who conform to the rules, after all, everyone is an adult, and they have the right to do so, whether they support it or oppose it."

"Understood." Casanova nodded, and he stood up: "Then, I'm really bothering you so late, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Schultz stood up and wanted to see off the guests, but Casanova immediately signaled no, and the second-largest merchant in Marienburg quickly left the office and the city council.

Schultz watched Viscount Casanova leave, and when he looked down from the window and saw Casanova board the carriage, he smiled sarcastically: "Caballero has a good son."

On the carriage, Casanova frowned. He sat in the luxurious carriage, and after thinking for a long time, he shouted to the outside: "Johannes, how much has the national debt of Bafengshan fallen?"

"It fell, it fell sharply. I won't talk about the first issue of Bafengshan government bonds. The second and third issues of government bonds are now being sold all over the city, because of people who can't take action." Director Johannes didn't quite understand the card. Why did Sanova say this, but he still said: "The national debt originally worth ten gold marks, now as long as someone gives six gold marks on the black market, many people are willing to do so."

"Six gold marks? Johannes, so, I'll give you five thousand gold marks." Casanova whispered: "Secretly, go to the market to buy Bafengshan national debt! For ten gold marks, we will use hardware marks for it. Collect, how much is how much you charge, do you know?"

"Yes, but sir, wouldn't you do this..." The manager hesitated.

"Hmph, it's only five thousand gold marks, you just do as I say." Casanova has made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll start doing it tomorrow."

"Remember, you must keep it secret, slowly and little by little."

"Yes!"

…………I am the dividing line that closes little by little…………

A week later, the old world, Brittany, the city of Jean, the castle of the Dukes of Mousillon, the palace of the king and queen.

The knight queen Surya, the lake **** witch Morgiana, and the Duke of Winford, François, were sitting together and discussing the formation of reinforcements.

Morgiana had received an oracle from the fairy in the lake, asking François to form a new reinforcement. The scale does not need to be too large, but the momentum must be large enough. François quickly understood Lane's thoughts. , Laozhangren immediately began to concentrate troops in the whole country. In this great expedition, the Duchy of Bastogne and the Duchy of Winford, which sent the most troops and the most elite, gained the most, and the proportion of profit was the largest. Laozhangren's treasury is now full of people from looting. The gold and silver, various ores and a lot of rare treasures obtained by the green skin, the knights and nobles headed by him are full, and naturally they will fully support Ryan to continue the expedition~www.wuxiaspot.com~François Yi At the beginning of the call, a large group of knights responded. The knights of the whole kingdom were coveted by the huge profits brought by the Great Crusade. When they heard that the Great Crusade still needed people to participate, the knights immediately gathered, and François carefully selected Eight hundred knights and more than two thousand knight retinues were carefully selected to form an army of about three thousand people, ready to set off.

"The momentum must be big enough, father, the more powerful you are, the more obvious you will help Ryan and the others." Sitting behind the furniture made of high-quality white jade, Suria, dressed in a valiant and valiant figure, dressed as a female knight's standard shirt and breeches Seriously said to François sitting opposite: "As for whether or not to support Ryan and Bellegar, it doesn't matter, the speed can be as slow as possible."

"Hahaha~" François is now at the peak of the Sanctuary, and the old man laughed and touched his goatee: "I understand, Suria, I don't need to remind you, you underestimate me too ?"

"This is not to underestimate you, François, the expedition army has now stopped retreating, and they can only move forward now." Morgiana frowned: "...I always felt that I had to go to the front in person, but Ryan can't do anything about it. disagree."

"I also want to go to the badlands to fight alongside Ryan, but our best support for Ryan now is to stabilize the entire kingdom, Your Highness Morgiana." Surya has not known how many times she has refused Morgiana to go. The idea of ​​the bad land is gone, and the female knight is always full of patience and a certain playful tone.

While the three were still discussing, the head maid Sylvia came in from outside.

"Her Majesty the Queen, Her Royal Highness Morgiana, Her Excellency Francois, we have guests, the famous merchant from Marienburg and the actual control of several major guilds Adabey Huntsman is now outside the castle, he wants to meet you."

"see me?"
