The sunlight passed through the windows of the Senate, leaving a row of bright spots on the birch floor. There was only one young aristocrat sitting in the conference room of Nuo da.
He has a pair of pure amber eyes, about 25 years old, wearing a brand-new Marquis dress, sitting leisurely in the special position of the SoLIM family. Perhaps it was a thought of a beautiful and interesting past. The warm smile on Zhang Junlang''s face made his slightly rigid facial features friendly and easy-going, as if he were a gentle and approachable young scholar.
However, his body was surrounded by the occasional Brown airflow, which reflected the light in his amber eyes. The invisible force field enveloped the young nobles for one meter. The indoor air was stagnant because of the presence of the elements of the void. But whenever the brown airflow touched the solid wood tables and chairs, it hit into a mass of dust and disappeared without a trace. The heavy earth element seems to be just an illusion of nothingness.
Only the earth knight who resonates with 36 elements can make the lazy and thick void elements lively and flexible. The emptiness and reality are commanded by the heart, such as the arm.
A majestic figure like a lion broke into the conference room, the heaviness in the room immediately disappeared, and the stagnant air resumed its flow. Two pairs of amber eyes collided, and the force field vision around the young aristocrat collapsed, as if nothing had happened.
If the silver earth knight is the Lord of the void element, the gold earth knight is the king of the void element. When the king comes, no matter how powerful the Lord is, he has to put away his arrogance and pay tribute.
Marquis goron frowned heavily and said in a deep voice, "you can''t even control the elements of emptiness, your excellency sorim?"
"That''s not true. When I attended the Senate meeting for the first time, I couldn''t help but want to play tricks." The young aristocrat smiled, his smile was calm and sincere, and his amber eyes had turned brown.
Marquis goron nodded and said, "Your Excellency SoLIM, you are in good condition. I sincerely hope that your Excellency will not attend the Senate meeting for the last time. Aren''t you going to arrange the clerk for this meeting?"
The Senate does not welcome extraordinary knights to the conference. They will have a strong sense of oppression on mortals and ordinary knights, and even affect the will of participants.
If an elder family appoints extraordinary knights to attend the meeting, other families can only send strong people of the same level to attend the meeting. The contents discussed by the Senate are related to the fundamental interests of the Lord group, and it is inevitable to quarrel and abuse each other. Ordinary nobles beat the table and throw the bench. It''s not a big problem. Extraordinary knights are not so rude. They can only mobilize vanity elements to express their strong dissatisfaction. The venue is full of elements. Don''t open the meeting. Just gesture your fists.
Than fist, who can beat Sylvia? How can the super strong represent the full strength of a political group?
Every talent is the protagonist of the Senate meeting. In order to avoid mistakes, participants usually arrange the family think tank in the lounge of the Senate. Their respective clerks record the meeting contents and pass them to the think tank to help participants make correct decisions.
Sylvia respected the Senate tradition and stayed in the York family lounge. But the old Marquis of SoLIM was running out of time. He had to attend the Senate meeting in person. It was hard for everyone to say anything. The Marquis of golon must come forward to suppress the situation and ensure that the meeting can be held normally.
"Family affairs have been arranged. As a descendant of SoLIM, I have a clear conscience. Now I''m more concerned about whether I can take the last step."
Marquis SoLIM got up and bowed, "Your Highness, although I am 22 years older than you, you are a pioneer on the knight''s road. I hope to get your Highness''s guidance."
"I''d love to see another royal highness in Gambis." The Marquis of Cologne gave a knightly salute, nodded and said, "if you have any doubts, just ask."
"About three years ago, I felt the call from the element sea. With the passage of time, the urgency of the elements in the void became stronger and stronger. My appearance began to become young, and my body and fighting spirit reached the peak state I had never seen before, but I couldn''t find the door to the element sea." The Marquis of SoLIM shook his head and said in a deep voice: "his highness of SoLIM family once said the importance and method of building Knight belief, but he did not elaborate on the details of how to communicate the element sea. I want to learn from your highness about the problems that need to be paid attention to in the trial of life and death."
Marquis golon''s jaw head said: "the root of a knight''s strength is the perfect control of the inside and outside. The balance of the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water brings a perfect cycle. However, the structure of the perfect cycle is quite stable, which greatly limits the improvement of ability. Therefore, the promotion of a knight is actually a process of breaking the balance and rebuilding perfection."
"The ancestors of the gold Knight of the SoLIM family belong to the silver blood. They are naturally able to disturb the element sea and break the balance limit from bronze to silver with the disturbance of the element sea. Therefore, the key to promoting the silver blood to the gold Knight lies in their own beliefs."
"We Golden Knights with bronze blood have faced two problems, breaking the balance and building faith. In short, we have no door. We can only attract the attention of the element sea by hitting the wall. Let the element sea open a door for us, then go in and come out alive."
"Breaking the balance is not a simple thing. Only the strong stimulation between life and death can break through the limitations of perfection." Goron sighed: "I was forced to go through the test of life and death in the knight stage. I survived luckily, and I got today''s achievement. In reality, the higher the knight''s level, the more terrible the test object will be. Therefore, few silver knights can pass the test of life and death. My advice to you is to forget everything, conform to the characteristics of earth elements, be calm and patient, and fight to death!"
"Thank you for your guidance." The old Marquis solemnly saluted.
"Then the meeting can begin."
Marquis goron found a chair and sat down in the corner of the conference room.
The participants of the elder family came in one after another, each with 5 or 6 clerks. When everyone was seated, the spacious meeting room suddenly looked quite crowded.
This is a very important meeting, which is related to the long-term interests of the kingdom of Gambis. The Golden Knight sat in the venue, the Regent presided over the meeting, the strength Lord personally attended, not to mention, but also brought the family''s academic advisory group. The peripheral lords of the elder family looked forward to it in the rest room. Whenever the hard-working clerk like a wild bee ran into the lounge to read out the progress of the meeting, they would join the scholar Advisory Group, discuss it one by one, and then watch the clerk pass on his suggestions to the patriarch of the meeting.
At the beginning, the Lords of power could maintain aristocratic elegance in front of the Marquis of goron and the Regent. But with the passage of time, the volume of the debate became louder and louder, mixed with the sound of "bang" and "bang" on the table. I''m afraid that''s why the Senate only uses cheap tables and chairs.
Finally, nbiser The roar of Duke of York ignited the enthusiasm of the venue. All kinds of abuse, ridicule and special greetings for aristocrats came one after another, and even the distinguished Regent of Williams burst out. The bee like hard-working clerk shuttled back and forth between the venue and the family lounge. With an amazing blush on his face, he said excitedly, "Duke York scolded his master as a mean and shameless villain. He knew to imitate the goods of Jinshui city. He also called his master a curly sheep."
"Curly sheep? Curly sheep follow the leader''s ass all day and fall off the cliff. He doesn''t know. He scolds his master for being stupid!" A scholar spat and shouted, "tell the host to ask the Duke of York to eat less cake. Large fur balls are particularly popular."
"What do you mean?" The clerk asked
The scholar denounced: "fool! Don''t you understand? The York family uses pig stomach to make grass filled balls... It''s tantamount to scolding the Duke of York as a fat pig and a big greedy bag!"
This is destined to be a long meeting. The Senate meeting room is no different from the noisy market.
There is only one reason for the noise in the market, that is money.
The port has not been built yet, so it is too early to talk about the distribution of interests in developing the southern continent. The Lords quarreled only about money.
In fact, everything that should be discussed had been discussed before the meeting.
Sophia regretfully told Victor that she chose to lead the construction of the port in chebman. Because the budget for the construction of the port under Randall''s collar exceeds 2.4 million kinsol, which is 600000 higher than that under chebman''s collar. In addition, she has to pay 800000 military expenses for the fishman war. The total expenditure exceeded 2.6 million, accounting for half of her total wealth.
2.6 million kinsol is a piece of fat that everyone wants to eat. But men and horses can only stare.
The Regent gave a good reason. The Marquis of Wimbledon funded the construction of the port, and she has the right to choose the location of the port. If you want to build a port, you can only pay out of your own pocket. If the York family had the money, they should build the three fortresses first. After all, the Kingdom exempted the York family from taxes for 20 years and allocated 1.2 million kinshores for the collection, processing and transportation of Fortress stones.
Of course, the Regent saved Sylvia some face. The York family can get 20000 kinsol in the fishman war. Who let the York family''s riverbank line be cleaner than the dog? There are only three or two groups of big fish and small fish. Even if you want to recruit more soldiers, there is no excuse.
The other families were too happy to carve up the remaining 2.58 million kinsol. Who can speak for people?
They all agreed that the main force of the army guarding the western border of the kingdom should always be on guard against the sudden attack of ant tide. Let''s leave it to them.
The chebman family got the biggest cake. They are responsible for the labor and raw materials for the construction of the port, and can make a profit of at least 200000 or 300000 kinshores. Strangely, the lounge of the southern lords group is colder than that of the York family. Marquis SoLIM did not bring a clerk at all and did not seem to be ready to participate in the discussion. The southern Lord family should discuss the details of cooperation at count chebman''s residence at this time.
The Joshua family is the second biggest beneficiary. As masters of deep water city, they are proficient in port and dock construction. Sophia paid the Joshua family 100000 kinsol for the port design. Moreover, the riverbank line controlled by the Joshua family is close to Firth lake, where the fish man population is quite dense, which is the preset main battlefield of Gambis. Therefore, in addition to earning a sum of military expenses, the Joshua family can also sell supplies to the armies of other lords and make a lot of profits.
In Victor''s eyes, Sophia is undoubtedly the biggest loser.
He spent 2.6 million kinshores and found nothing but sending the barbarians across the river.
What a loser... Even if you can''t get the ownership of the port, you can take the permanent lease of four port berths... The fishing industry of Jinshui River is an inexhaustible source of wealth.
Victor grieved for Sophia''s mistake and beat his chest and feet for the immature business rules of the human kingdom. But his idea has no basis in the law.
The wealth of the territory belongs to the Lord. Whose territory the port is built in is whose territory. Victor would never agree to overthrow this Lord''s law.
Because of this provision in the glorious code, the clergy of the church avoided secularization and the interests of knights and nobles were protected. At the same time, it also restricts the power of Fengjun, forming a game rule of "only taking by chance, not taking by force".
In Auguste''s eyes, Sophia''s wealth belongs to kite castle. The royal family left her 1.9 million gold sol entirely in the face of the legendary barbarian elder. Sophia knew very well that if she failed to trust the barbarians, she would lose her greatest political capital. So she did not hesitate to spend more than half of her wealth to complete the barbarian''s entrustment.
The chebman family paid too little to have a port. But if kite Castle wants to get the territory of the port, it can''t be too ugly. Marriage is the legal basis for dividing territory, and the exchange of interests is the hidden rule for seeking territory. The dying SoLIM family became the victim of the game between kite castle and local lords. But even so, the Regent spent some time trying to hand over the copper city to the chebman family.
Two months ago, Sylvia invited the future archbishop and the Marquis of SoLIM to a tea party. Williams immediately asked the current Archbishop to deprive the SoLIM family of the right to coin, so as to cut off the relationship between the church and the SoLIM family and turn the copper city into a lamb for slaughter.
However, the kite Castle did not kill the sheep with a knife, but wanted to protect the lamb.
As a monarch, the king cannot interfere or let others interfere with the legal inheritance of a family. This is the bottom line of the rules of the game.
If the old Marquis of SoLIM is promoted with blood, copper city will still be SoLIM''s copper city. If he falls, the lamb will seek the shelter of the chebman family. Kite castle just paved the way in advance, and did not violate the obligation of Fengjun.
The Senate meeting seemed to have nothing to do with the York family and the SoLIM family.
The Duke of York did not think so. When everyone enthusiastically discussed the proportion of troops, he raised the key question.
How many ships can a port take? Without enough ships, how can we transport enough soldiers to the southern continent? Without enough soldiers, how can we stand on the southern continent? The 70000 pioneers of Borui kingdom were pushed back by the barbarians on the south bank. Gambis doesn''t have 120000 pioneering troops, so there''s no need to take risks.
So we need to build a port.
Opening up territory is the basis for the Senate to hold a meeting. When it comes to development, the Lords nodded one after another, but Williams made everyone speechless.
You can do it yourself. Kite castle has no money. If you have money to support people to build ports, let''s talk about the new tax by the way.
The issue of the Senate has changed from the construction of Hong Kong to the discussion of the new tax. The Lord quarreled with the Regent.
The Duke of York duly took out the handwritten letter of viscount Randall, which said: Raven town welcomes the king''s tax official to settle in.
You can see. Sylvia and Williams have a tacit understanding.
**********************
"Sophia is not willing to invest in the construction of a second port in Renma Hill regardless of the overall situation of the South expansion strategy. Kite Castle scolds her first, then removes her title, and then reconstructs the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce. Sophia, as Viscount Randall, the remaining 1.9 million gold sol is not your money?" Sylvia sipped her coffee and said contentedly.
Victor couldn''t be happy.
The Viscount is rich, noble and powerful. She has a group of loyal knights. Behind her is a golden barbarian warrior and two barbarian weapon masters... If she takes charge of the silver moon manor, the Randall family will really change.
"My money is your money... Your money or your money." Victor put down the fragrant snow ear tea and said with a sad face.
Sylvia was stunned for a moment and was immediately overjoyed. She hugged Victor''s head and kissed him on his lips for a long time. She said with a smile: "honey, this love word is so beautiful... I will reward you tonight."
Victor licked his lips, looked up and asked, "have you ever thought about Nicole?"
"My problem is your problem, your problem or your problem."
Sylvia said with a sly smile, "I believe that with the charm of my love, there are no female Knights you can''t cope with, including our queen mother."
Victor touched his nose in embarrassment and muttered, "how do I feel that you seem to say the opposite..."
Sylvia knelt in Victor''s arms and laughed wildly. It took a long time to say, "my love, you really know yourself."
Victor just wanted to make fun of him. His ears moved and frowned. "The Senate has become quiet. What''s going on?"
Sylvia lifted the scattered hair behind her ears and said faintly: "the old guy SoLIM finally fought back... He just raised an interesting topic... Ha ha, it''s really interesting."
