Chapter 479 commune
Almost an hour after sending envoys, Soba’s city gate finally opened. “Top” Point” Novel .w Master Slott walked out with a dozen guards. When he saw the crowd, he immediately bowed deeply with one hand on his chest. “I’m very sorry, according to normal etiquette, Duke Anta Silver Shield should personally greet him. However, he has passed away unfortunately, and Mrs. Brira is overly sad, so I have to do it for him.”
“It’s okay, please allow me to express my regret for the departure of the Duke of Silver Shield. He is an upright nobleman, and at the same time my relative and ally.” Henry took the lead and gave a small salute to express his condolences to the dead.
Of course, this is just a pretense. The relationship between him and Anta Silver Shield is not even an ally. At best, they are only using each other, and sometimes they even have some contests in secret. The duke tried to obtain more benefits through his sister a long time ago, in an attempt to turn the Angome family into a vassal of the Silver Shield family.
Unfortunately, Henry is obviously not a person who can be easily manipulated. Shi Koudi saw this, so he resolutely chose a husband between her husband and his elder brother. After all, this is related to the happiness of the second half of her life, not to mention that in the new family, she will not only be able to obtain more freedom and rights, but her children will also be able to inherit large areas of wealth.
It can be said that from the death of Ed Yindun (the son of Anta Yindun), until Shi Ji ran away from home, they all retaliated. Using his familiarity with the plot, Henry successfully made the Silver Shield family lose all the legal heirs. He would not allow such stability factors to appear near his own territory, even if there is no danger, it would make people feel uncomfortable.
Well, the Silver Shield family now has a lot of illegitimate children and relatives who don’t know the so-called. Only a widow and her missing daughter were left. In accordance with the order of inheritance. Shi Ji was clearly ranked first. But it is a pity that he is now missing. Next is Shikodixian, then his son Alan and his daughter Liv. I believe that as long as the operation is done properly, there is no problem with the annexation.
After the mourning, Henry raised his head and took a closer look at the old man with white hair and beard, and suddenly discovered that he was a mage above level ten. It seems that this is the spellcaster mentioned by Sarah Brightman. If nothing else, it should be a mage specially supported by the Silver Shield family.
This is not surprising, many wealthy nobles and merchants will hire one or two spellcasters. To ensure that you and your family are not harmed by supernatural forces. You must know that this is a magical world, with all kinds of weird poisons, curses, magic rituals, terrifying monsters, undead undead, in short, there are too many things that can make ordinary people die.
Slott noticed Henry’s gaze and made a please gesture with a smile on his face. “Your Excellency, please come with me. Mrs. Brira is waiting in the temporary residence in the city. She has a suicide note in her hand that needs to be handed to you.”
“In that case, lead the way.” Henry followed the old man and entered the city gate mightily. In order to show his strength, he deliberately arranged five hundred heavily armed soldiers to follow behind, besides. The two giant dragons didn’t change back into human form, and they were hovering over the city.
Just entered the city. Corey unceremoniously took over the defense of the city, and the work of burying the corpse was left to the orcs stationed outside. According to the agreement, all the trophies outside are in duplicate, half of which will be used as the start-up funds for the orcs to build the city, and half will be allocated to the soldiers on this expedition.
You must know that the Iron Throne has searched for a lot of benefits along the way, and every participant will get a generous reward. Of course, orc warriors may prefer shiny weapons and delicate armor. With these equipment, they will be able to sweep most of the enemies in the High Wasteland. At that time, whether it is the slave trade or the looted spoils, they will be enough to make a fortune.
Passing through the depressed street, the group soon came to a rather majestic stone building, which should be an abandoned temple from the outside. Slott stopped and pointed inside the door: “Your Excellency, you’d better go in alone. There are some things Madame Briela wants to talk to you alone.”
Shandi stared her eyes and wanted to say something, but Henry raised her hand to stop it. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. “No problem, respecting a lady’s wishes is the most basic courtesy.”
Obviously, such secret meetings are usually accompanied by private negotiations and transactions. But this lady seems to have forgotten the most important point, that is, she doesn’t seem to have much chips anymore. If the request is beyond his own bottom line, then he doesn’t mind directly controlling the opponent with spells such as “suggestion” or “charming humans”.
Pushing open the door gently, the first thing I saw was Mrs. Brila wearing black gauze. She was lying sadly on the coffin of Anta Silver Shield, still holding a rolled parchment in her hand, and kept sobbing.
There is no doubt that these are all pretends. As far as Henry knows, the relationship between the couple is not very harmonious. Anta Silver Shield has at least close to three-digit (love) women outside, and illegitimate children can form a strengthening group. And his wife is not inferior in the slightest, the guest who enters the curtain has always remained above double digits.
If such two people still have feelings, it would be a joke. The reason why they still maintain the illusion of affection is nothing more than their unwillingness to spread the scandal and cause bad effects. After all, the honor and face of the nobles are worth a bit of money, not to mention the issue of property distribution.
Henry entered the hall and stood beside him without saying a word, watching Mrs. Brira’s performance quietly. He wants to see how long this superb acting can last, whether it’s an hour or a whole day. I have to say that this is pretty horrible, just like those who watched a stage show and found that the camera was yelling badly.
At the beginning, Mrs. Brila’s performance was full of emotion, and if an outsider stood here, she would have to be moved. But ten minutes later, she couldn’t support it anymore, and from time to time she glanced at Henry who was standing aside. But the latter was unmoved, still silent like a statue.
As a legendary mage, Henry has already exercised his patience and nerves to the extreme. Even when performing certain intense special sports, he can still enjoy the excitement while performing all the spellcasting movements accurately and guaranteeing the spell. None of the syllables are wrong.
After a while, Brila couldn’t help it anymore, raising her head and pretending to be surprised, and asked: “The gods are here, when did you come, Henry? Sorry I was so sad, so I never found out. .”
“It’s okay, madam, you have enough reason to be sad.” Henry said that he owed himself very gentlemanly.
“Thank you, I don’t know how I survived this time.” Madam Briella pretended to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Henry nodded slightly and sighed: “Yes, it’s another murloc robber and a rebel of the Iron Throne. This year is really sad. But now you don’t need to worry about it, whether it’s a murloc or outside the city. All of the rebels have been wiped out.”
“What? Those murloc robbers were also wiped out?!!!” Madam Brira showed a shocked expression on her face. She can remember clearly that her husband led thousands of troops and was defeated in a very short time.
“Yes, I solved it with my own hands. I believe that the Jianwan generation will not have these guys for a long time.” The corner of Henry’s mouth turned up slightly when he said that, showing a smile that was not a smile. He believed that the other party would be able to understand the meaning of this sentence.
Hearing the news, Brila fell into a long silence. She understands that the other party is showing off her strength naked, and at the same time warning herself not to make excessive prices. A few minutes later, the widow tore off the disguise and said: “I really didn’t expect that your development speed is so fast. It seems that a powerful country will rise on this land in the future. But these have nothing to do with me. , As long as you can agree to the conditions written on this paper, I can legally transfer the ownership of the northern land to you.”
“Of course, as long as it doesn’t exceed my bottom line.” As he said, Henry opened the parchment and glanced at the content above. Before long, he sneered and asked, “Madam, don’t you think you’re too greedy again? Or do you think I’m a good idiot? Although I don’t know who made the idea, it’s obviously not. You a noble lady can think of a means.”
“About which aspect? We can discuss it again.” Mrs. Brira explained with some guilty conscience.
Henry squinted his eyes and watched for a while, then he tore the parchment in half, and returned the upper part directly. As for the lower part, it was instantly burned to ashes by the magic flame. He pointed to the remaining half of the forged will: “This is my condition You can get the remaining property of the Silver Shield family, and the real estate and real estate must be abandoned. Don’t worry, I will be in the Angkor Islands. Compensate for a manor.”
Mrs. Brila picked up half of the parchment and asked unwillingly: “Can’t the name of the Principality of Silver Shield be retained?”
“No, there can only be one country and one monarch on this land, and that’s me.” Henry said categorically. This is the first time that he has revealed his ambition in front of outsiders.
“Okay, but I want to keep the title of nobleman as the duke, and ask for hereditary.” Madame Brira made her request again. She knew that having aristocratic status was equivalent to a layer of protection, so she could never give up.
Henry snorted and nodded. “Yes, but it can’t be the Duke of Silver Shield. I will change the duchy to a kingdom in a while, and at that time I will be canonized you as a duke. As for the manor, it will be a hereditary fief.”
By doing so, it obviously brought the Silver Shield family into the ranks of vassals and accepted the control of the state. He would not let a family with extensive influence stay in his turf, and then still enjoy extraterritoriality. Next, the two discussed the legal transfer of the territory and how to deal with the relatives of the Silver Shield family, and finally reached an agreement. (To be continued…)
