The reception room of the Marquis of Wimbledon in the noble District of brinor city.
Sophia, dressed in a gorgeous Marquis dress and purple hair, sat on the throne and personally received Greer, a visitor from Teutonic principality Earl of the moon bear.
Different from the common handsome elegance of Southern nobles, the Earl of the moon bear is tall and burly, with deep hair and rough skin honed by wind and snow. His facial features are deep, his eyes are light brown and gray, his face is ruddy, a circle of shiny reindeer skin bandage is tied on his broad forehead, and his long blond hair and beard are tied into small braids with bear teeth.
This unique dress makes people recognize him as a northerner at a glance, and his symmetrical and perfect figure and facial features show that he is an extraordinary knight.
The mood and character of high-level Knights determine their temperament and appearance characteristics. Greer has the ruggedness and directness of northerners. He said in a loud voice:
"Sophia, we are old friends. I have only two requests. One is to lend us 2 million gold sol of the moon bear family; the other is not to guarantee other families of Sasan. Sophia, help us this time. On behalf of my brother, I promise you that the moon bear family will have a good return."
Two million kingsol is not a small amount, but the Marquis house of Wimbledon is not too small to take out. Sophia''s headache was the count of the moon bear''s second request.
It started a month ago. The Duke of York invited representatives of major families to the banquet at the Duke''s palace. Towards the end of the dinner, the Duke of York placed a distinctive ornamental dish dark red iron brick on each guest''s plate.
Iron brick, brick like iron! Mrs. Sylvia herself!
These hard bricks plunged the climax of the dinner into the depression of the approaching rainstorm. The distinguished guests left the Duke''s residence with the iron bricks on their plates without saying a word. That night, the eagle lion Knight of the balelius family, Frederick and the horned wolf Knight of the church, the unicorn Knight of Dodo, the sword Mantis Knight of Neville, and the ferocious Moon Bear Knight of Teuton left brinor. The representatives of the major families of the kingdom of SUS and the kingdom of Borui do not have alienated war animals. They simply send silver knights or senior knights to return home overnight with iron bricks, which is no slower than the alienated war animals.
That night, Edward Augustus summoned the Duke of York to the palace in the name of the king. The next morning, pastor tamore personally visited the Duke of York and had a secret conversation with the Duke all morning.
No one inquired about the conversation between kite castle, the church and the Duke of York, and the city of blinor remained calm on the surface. But ten days later, Duke Ludwig, the Golden Knight of Dodo, came to the capital of gombis; Fourteen days later, the Duke of York''s biological mother, dolly of the kingdom of Neville Countess de Kaiser visited the city of brinor, which was the first time in more than 20 years that she set foot in the territory of the kingdom of bith.
Obviously, the Duke of Ludwig and the countess de Kaiser came for iron bricks. Strangely, they did not visit the Duke of York, the patriarch of tamore, or even meet with representatives of other families in the country. In fact, since the iron brick dinner, the representatives of the kingdoms have remained closed, and the social activities in the aristocratic District of brinor have stopped.
Sophia knows that this is because the iron brick is of great significance, and the church and major families are bound to win it. The Duke of York usually pretends to be stupid, but under his boastful and vain appearance, he hides a treacherous and cunning heart. In short, he is very shameless. Such a big thing, take the initiative to negotiate with him, there will be no result, but he will find his bottom line. Everyone waited patiently for the York family to open the first card. If their conditions were too harsh, it would not be too late to put pressure together. But before that, no one wants to be the first to jump up and down and hook up everywhere, which will annoy your highness and your highness, who may be out early.
On the night before Sylvia and Victor arrived in brinor, that is, last night, the Duke of York once again held a feast and publicly announced that Angelina took the design of the giant brick kiln and the process of making iron bricks as Angelina Branstedt York''s dowry was dedicated to the augustian royal family. At the same time, the related technology was sold to a family in various kingdoms at the price of 600000 gold sols, but the family of Sasan Empire had to spend 2.4 million gold sols.
For the major forces, it would be great to be able to sell huge brick kilns and iron brick manufacturing processes with money.
The Duke of Ludwig immediately made the decision, and the golden finch family invested 600000 to buy iron brick technology on behalf of the Dodo kingdom. Andre His highness Christopher also bought iron brick technology on behalf of Borui kingdom. They were the only Golden Knights among the envoys of various countries. Dodo and other big families of Borui were unable to resist their will and congratulated the Ludwig family and Christopher family one after another. In addition, the purchase rights of the kingdom of Neville and the kingdom of SUS were personally assigned by the Duke of York to the de Kaiser Family and the branstet family. As for the Sassanian Empire, the York family asked the Sassanians to discuss the results first, and they did not intervene.
This morning, Greer The Earl of the moon bear visited the Marquis of Wimbledon.
Teutonic principality can be said to be the most important partner of Wimbledon chamber of commerce at present. Even for a long time in the future, the moon bear family is of great significance to the golden group. Unless Sophia is willing to give up the monopoly of barbarian trade, Teutonic principality is a trade route and market she can''t give up.
The Sassanian Empire developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and undertook the food and meat part of the barbarian trade. Among them, the reindeer meat of the moon bear family accounted for 40% of the meat trade, and the other 60% was mainly pickled meat. Barbarians can''t eat bacon all year round, and cattle and sheep can''t cross the northern tundra. The Wimbledon chamber of commerce can''t afford a rise in the price of reindeer meat for the moon bear family.
However, when Greer asked the Marquis of Wimbledon to make a choice on such a major issue as iron brick technology, Sophia was secretly annoyed. Naturally, she would not give him a good face and said coldly:
"Who will take hundreds of thousands of kinsol to Gambis to attend the king''s wedding ceremony? Duke of finch, his highness Christopher, count branstedt and Countess de Kaiser have not paid the York family, and the moon bear family doesn''t have to pay in a hurry. As long as you negotiate with other families of Sasan and make a promise, Mrs. Sylvia is not afraid of you to default... Ge Lille, what do you mean by coming to me? "
Greer The moon bear was stunned for a moment and said, "I''ll pay all the money first, and this matter will be settled."
"In other words, you and the other families of the Sassanian Empire have not reached a consensus?" Sophia picked up her purple fine eyebrow and said unhappily, "that is to say, I will help you. The Sasan royal family, the basselius family and the bronze halberd city will hate me?"
The count of the moon bear touched his braids and said carelessly, "Lord Marquis Wimbledon, you are not your highness, but you are no inferior to your highness. You have the ability to make a choice, you have to make a choice. If you don''t support the moon bear family, I can leave now."
Sophia''s mind flashed, thought carefully, and a charming smile was outlined in the corners of her mouth.
"I didn''t know that Renma Hill invented iron brick in advance. But my husband has come back. As long as I say a word, I can specify that the family of the Sassanian Empire has the right to buy iron brick technology. Even if you reach a consensus, it''s useless... Greer, why should I support you?"
The count of the moon bear said bluntly: "Because the Principality of Teuton especially needs huge brick kilns and iron brick crafts. You know, the northern tundra doesn''t have much wood and no decent stone mines. We dare to dig stones in Mount Yari, and the barbarians must break our heads... There are countless sheep monsters in Mount Yari. One day they rush down and will only hit the powder in front of our iron brick fortress Broken bones! If bacelius or Frederick bought the iron brick craft, the Principality of Teuton would pay a greater price for owning the iron brick fortress, perhaps not in exchange for gold... Sophia, you don''t want us to stand on bacelius''s side, nor do you want us to stand on Frederick''s side. Of course, I don''t want to choose sides for iron bricks, but others have huge brick kilns and iron bricks Brick, even in Teutonic principality. "
"Of course, we also don''t want to offend the two royal families. I will follow the Duke of York''s way of dealing with the problem and sell the iron brick method to Barcelona and Frederick respectively at the price of 800000 gold sol. The Principality of Teuton continues to maintain a neutral position... Fat York has a lot of eyes like honeycomb holes. He can sell iron brick technology, and we can also sell it. Ludwig, Christopher and Dekai Ze and branstedt can make a lot of money. "
He smacked his mouth, shook his head and said, "but if the royal families of various countries buy the iron brick technology, they will never exchange it for gold... I estimate that selling the iron brick to non royal families is the result of a secret conversation between pastor tamore and fat York. Because we can''t keep it, we can only sell it for gold... Now, all the families have it and don''t have to quarrel."
Count yuexiong''s words were reasonable, but Sophia felt that he still had reservations and could not understand what he was hiding for a moment. However, she was sure that the golden regiment really needed the central forces of the Sassanian Empire to continue to maintain an impartial political position.
Sophia thought for a moment, and her red lips lifted, "Princess angel of Tongji city is your niece and my good friend. Although Tongji city is located in the south of sassanne Empire, she also belongs to the Lord in the middle of sassanne."
Greer patted his chest and promised, "there is no royal highness in Tongji City, but we won''t let Angel suffer. When Teutonic principality got the iron brick technology, we only collected 200000 gold sol from Tongji city and sold the technology to her."
"200000 kinsol?"
"Sophia, iron bricks and giant brick kilns can''t be exchanged for gold. 200000 gold sol is the lowest price... Families who can''t afford this money are not qualified to make iron bricks."
"It seems that the moon bear family is ready to make a lot of money." Sophia smiled and said, "you owe me a favor."
The count of the moon bear was overjoyed. He stood up, stroked Sophia''s chest and said, "the human feelings of our moon bear family can''t be exchanged for gold. In the future, the Marquis can say anything he needs the help of the Teutonic principality."
Sophia Yingying got up, saluted, raised her hand and said, "don''t worry about buying iron brick manufacturing technology. Please come back, Lord count."
Before leaving the house, the Earl of the moon bear turned back and said, "Marquis, you can decide the qualification of Teutonic principality to buy giant brick kilns and iron bricks, not because of your husband, but because of your influence. Otherwise, the envoys of your highness of the shining Knights will not remain silent on this big matter."
Sophia watched Greer walk out of the front hall of the Marquis house. After a long time, she wrinkled her nose and said to herself, "hum, I want you to remind me."
At this time, Natalia, dressed in water Lizard Leather, commanded a team of strong bodyguards and carried several large water tanks into the courtyard of the Marquis''s house. When she saw Sophia, she stopped and told the guards, "be careful, don''t spill it, and send it to the water tank in the backyard first."
Sophia came forward and looked curiously into the sink. "Brinor red salmon? You went out in the middle of the night to catch these red salmon?"
"Yes." Natalia took Sophia''s arm and said with a smile, "Victor used to like my roasted red salmon best. I specially took people to the brinor River to catch dozens of four foot red salmon as the main course tonight. By the way, are you ready to meet victor in formal clothes? Wait for me, I''ll change my clothes and go with you."
Sophia took Natalia''s hand, shook her head and said, "I''m not going to pick up victor. Just now, Greer Moon Bear visited the Marquis house, and I changed my dress."
"Count moon bear? What can I do for you?"
"... not for iron bricks."
Sophia described the story to Natalia, frowned and said: "Although the moon bear family has strong strength, they are not the leader family of the forces in the middle of Sang due to their family blood line and territory position. In fact, the Lords in the middle of Sasang vaguely reject the moon bear. No one wants to marry the moon bear family except the most marginal copper halberd city in the south. When they get the iron brick manufacturing technology, they can improve their influence on the Lord family in the middle The value of the York family''s iron bricks and giant brick kilns can''t be measured by kinsol. Sylvia and Victor don''t understand this truth... You say, the York family clearly has a better choice. Why sell iron bricks and giant brick kilns? "
Natalia blinked, bit her lips and giggled, "when Victor comes back, tonight... We''ll interrogate him again."
Sophia turned her eyes angrily and said angrily, "if he would tell me, he wouldn''t hide it from me... Thanks to the power of barbarians, the shining knights can''t intervene openly."
"But what does it matter?" Natalia said indifferently: "Anyway, we don''t need to build a fortress with iron bricks. Besides, the moon bear family took advantage of the man horse hill. In addition, Victor is now a highness, and he will be promoted to the sun elf sooner or later. The man horse hill has him and Sylvia. Even if you don''t consider your position, the shining Knights will probably take a cautious attitude on the issue of iron bricks Degrees. "
"All right, all right, dear Sophia, don''t think about these things." Natalia took Sophia''s hand and walked up to the master bedroom of the inner court. She smiled and said, "help me choose a skirt and a set of jewelry. We''ll meet Victor''s car."
Sophia stood where she was, sighed and shook her head. "Victor won''t live in the Marquis of Wimbledon... He''s now the guardian of the horse hills. He''ll only live in the York House with Sylvia."
Natalia stopped and said in surprise, "but... You are his wife and he is our partner."
"Victor will be with us." Sophia was silent for a moment and said apologetically, "in fact, I don''t want to stay with him for a long time."
"Why?" Natalia asked after her face, frowning.
"I can''t stand being with strong people in my current state." Sophia smiled and shook her head "Victor, he... His gentleness is his character and strength is his will. Since he left the Marquis of Wimbledon, he has been implementing his own ideas and always achieved his goal unconsciously... I now understand that he is not strong with a straight face. Being able to lead you by the nose is the real strength. His highness Randall is such a person... I''m afraid there is no one except Sylvia Which high-ranking female knight can stand side by side with him. I''m a little afraid to get along with him now. I was led away by him accidentally... "
Natalia stared round her eyes, looked up and down at Sophia, leaned close to her, bit her ears and said: "dear sister, are you right? His highness Randall is a sun elf... He can let you be a mother. What''s wrong with him? We said well, you and Victor''s children will call me mother, too."
Sophia chuckled, like the eyes of Amethyst flowing out of an amazing color.
"I didn''t say I didn''t want him... But now it''s not suitable to live with him every day. It doesn''t matter what happens when I get promoted to the golden level... However, I will try to see if my husband can resist the charm of the golden level purple eyed female Knight!"
