City of Sin: Twenty-four nights without light
The situation is obvious. Iron Blood Grand Duke would rather Immolate (sacrifice) get Schumpeter and Joseph Family more benefits, but also leave the core territory of Archeron completely in Sacred Alliance,
Schumpeter is no longer a floating island giant, but the Duke Joseph is in this conference hall. In the face of the transfer of benefits of Iron Blood Grand Duke bare, the Duke just smiled bitterly and did not mean any protest,
Archeron The core character is Richard , One Grand Runemaster , The combat power is close to the legendary Archmage , And it is currently in a rapid upward trend, in contrast to the Archeron The vitality was hurt in the war Joseph Be mercilessly Immolate (sacrifice) In exchange for Archeron Will not be cut out, as for Joseph Feelings are not considered at the moment, the reason for the negotiation Iron Blood Grand Duke I personally preside over it, that is, in order to be able to use the entire Iron Blood The strength of the family guarantees that there will be no opposition,
As for fairness, only in the dimension of strength will there be fairness,
Azan is the core territory of Archeron. After a territory is classified into another empire, only the sovereignty of this territory is transferred, and most of the rights of the lord to the territory will be retained. That is to say, if all the domains of a marquis are from Sacred Alliance is classified as Sacred Tree Empire, then he is still a marquis, and he still owns those territories, but the object of his tax payment and military participation has changed from Sacred Alliance to Sacred Tree Empire,
In the three major empires, with the continuous changes of the border line for hundreds of years, many long-established large families have corresponding territories in the three empires. For example, some territories laid by Alice still belong to Sacred Tree Empire. The tax still has to be handed over to Sacred Tree Empire. Since the accumulated area has not broken through the rank of Earl, only an agent is required at Sacred Tree Empire,
The situation that Richard is facing now is more complicated. Simply put, it will be split into a knighthood. In the Marquisate land of Gordon, the Azan collar is actually a Earldom in terms of its own area and production. Will be awarded the corresponding Earl title in that empire, and the other territory left by Gordon plus the part obtained by Richard, barely enough Earldom,
Therefore, if the split is successful, Richard will be alliance Earl and other empire Earl in the future. This is a very delicate situation. The Earl knighthood is the watershed between Great Noble and the nobility. On the ground, Earl automatically obtains the seat of the House of Lords. Great empires are the same,
While Milanes and Kimberly fought for the Far Gazing Peninsula ownership, they insisted on obtaining a complete Azan collar, and strongly disagreed with the split. So far, the purpose of Sacred Tree Empire and the Millennium Empire is coming out. Obviously they are all eyeing Richard, As long as the core territory of Archeron is taken over, and then slowly contacted, there is always a chance to dig Richard away from Sacred Alliance, and Iron Blood Grand Duke has also seen the key, so he refused to give in and gave Sacred Tree Empire and the Millennium Empire nothing Opportunity,
The dispute between the three parties on Azan was unexpectedly fierce, and each of them did not give in, and the Jinbei Earl, which had always acted casually, suddenly showed the ambition of ambition, saying that it would not give in, even if it was on the other side. The territories and a magic crystal mine with low reserves are not hesitated and shaken,
After a fierce debate for nearly an hour, and no final result was obtained, the three parties decided to temporarily adjourn the meeting and continue to discuss the details of the demarcation in the next few days,
When leaving the meeting room, Jin Beiye Earl hurried to Richard, handed over an invitation letter plated with dark gold, and said with a smile: "My Excellency Richard, can you have afternoon tea together tomorrow If you would take me to visit the magnificent Faust, it would be even better. "
Richard did not reach out to pick up, shook his head and said frankly: "I think afternoon tea with you at this time is not a good choice, I am really sorry."
At this time, the two had fallen to the end, and the wealthy family heads seemed to turn a blind eye to Earl's behavior. No one cast their extra eyes. Jin Beiye looked at everyone's back, smiled, and suddenly lowered his voice. , Said: "Sooner or later we will all be lords under the millennium empire, and it does n’t matter what drinking tea together."
Richard also smiled and said, "You are so confident."
Jin Beiye Earl replied freely: "Of course, confidence does not only come from the empire ’s attention and sincerity for a future Saint Runemaster, but also from His Highness Klandor, His Excellency Richard, do n’t forget, His Royal Highness Mountainsea also flows With the blood of the emperor, you are actually half an empire. "
Richard frowned slightly, did not speak,
And Earl only threw out the most important words at this time: "In Sacred Alliance, I did not see them treat you like their own people, but only saw exclusion, conspiracy, framing, and even murder." Earl's voice is diametrically opposed to his ordinary appearance, and it is extremely pleasant. Even when it comes to such a serious vocabulary as murder, it is still like singing a hymn, with a tempting charm,
"Just a few days ago, I witnessed that you were being hunted down by the entire lower aristocracy of Faust, but none of the giants really stood up, Richard, you know the history, you should be clear to allow the lower aristocracy to attack the upper aristocracy. What kind of consequences are they not treating you as their own, why do you have to stay in such a country? "
In the face of the doubts of Earl, Richard is actually very difficult to answer. If you want to trace the history, the three empires have the same origins. After the human race gradually multiplied on the multi-ethnic continent of Norland, countless lords have lived for a long time. In the process of fighting and joining forces, three different empires were finally formed. In the process, the lords had numerous moves to change their camps for various reasons,
However, with the current political wisdom of Richard, it can be seen that Earl is actually not very informative. The upper class nobles that have been firmly established in the circle have the same repulsion of new faces everywhere. If the floating island giants of Sacred Alliance join the Millennium Empire, It may not happen that similar things happen, the key lies in the first sentence of Earl "the importance and sincerity of a future Saint Runemaster", this is the greatest value of Richard in the eyes of the empire,
In addition, Earl seems to have another hole card, but it has not been taken out yet,
However, Richard still didn't say anything, just shook his head firmly, bowed slightly to Earl, and then left straight. Kimber Earl lowered his gaze, looked at the invitation letter in his hand, and then revealed A smile of unknown meaning,
The House of Lords is full of nobles. They are all sitting in the meeting hall, waiting for the result from the small meeting hall,
It ’s rare today that no one is speaking or debating, no hustle and bustle, all the nobles are waiting quietly, and the meeting hall is miraculously silent. Seeing a large number of wealthy heads coming out of the small conference hall, all the nobles called All stood up at once, and gathered around. If you can directly ask the relationship with the giants, if you are not qualified to climb the relationship, you are waiting outside.
At this time, you can see the difference between the network and the background. There are more than a dozen people around the Duke Anan, but almost no one asked the Richard news,
The news is like having wings. All the nobles in a blink of an eye knew the preliminary demarcation plan. For a time, people were silent and did not know what to say. Although this was not the final plan, it was almost the same. The dividing line is not only two nooses, but also two columns of shame, nailing all the nobles of Sacred Alliance to it,
When Richard walked out of the House of Lords, he felt very heavy. There were many Archeron enemies in Sacred Alliance and many sorry for his past, but on the other hand, there were also Phillip and Ferlyn who were always taking care of Richard, there were also People such as Sharon and Quicksand, who occupy an important position in his heart, also have friends such as White Night, Agamennon, Niris. Here is also where Richard grew up,
At this moment, the deep feeling of powerlessness and shame was never experienced by Richard. At this moment, Richard suddenly realized that he had a real sense of identity with Sacred Alliance. It does something, but the current situation makes Richard feel powerful and difficult to make,
Blackrose Castle is divided into two other empires, and it is not affected by Richard too much. He will still be a floating island giant of Sacred Alliance, but the territory spans the two empires, as long as the checks and balances of the three countries have always existed , If there is no national war, then Richard will not face the issue of camp choice,
However, Sacred Tree Empire and the Millennium Empire are now willing to pay several times the benefits of getting Azan collars. If they insist on not sending Azan collars, then Sacred Alliance will have to cede more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory. This situation Next, Richard, as the lord of the controversy, did not know how to express his position. He could only put everything into the hands of Iron Blood Grand Duke,
The next few days are still spent in intense negotiations. Most of the borders have been demarcated, leaving only a few controversial points. The Azan leader where Blackrose Castle is located is the biggest one.
But the attention of the nobility has gradually been drawn to other places, and one day later, it is time to vote for the heir to the throne,
Therefore, all kinds of undercurrents began to surging again, and some unwilling and lonely guys became active. Overnight, there were more than a dozen assassinations of Faust. In a thrilling atmosphere, Archeron became the center of the storm, calm. Unusually, now everyone knows that Archeron does not have the right to vote in this choice, so there is no interest to provoke Richard,
On the eve of the election of the heir to the throne, the entire sky dome seemed to be permeated with blood. Everyone in Faust was in danger of himself, only the Assassin with the mission was rampant,
PS: Because of the important plot, there is no place to start, so the two chapters are issued continuously, and there will be no more at noon,
