As the vice-president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, Closide has to not only squeeze into the top pyramid, but also prepare to pull them all down. The other two of the three giants in Free City will never think of it. Yunokia, who was supposed to be an offensive and defensive alliance, had long since abandoned her identity as the Big Three, and was preparing to cooperate with both inside and outside to drag them down from their position as the Big Three.
In fact, Yunokia has never betrayed her identity as the Big Three, but the other two positions need to be replaced.
No matter in all walks of life, fresh blood should be continuously injected to maintain vitality. Similarly, the position of the Big Three should also be injected with new blood. Both Lawrence and Philibos have sat in this position for too long. Perhaps at the beginning Their families have all worked hard for the development of the city, but after the inheritance from generation to generation has been passed down to the current head of the family, they have already mastered the greatest power and have no enterprising spirit. The only thing they can do is how to continue to maintain their wealth and status. , and even freeze and blockade the city for this purpose.
The short-sightedness of mortals prevents them from seeing the terrible scene in the future, but as an extraordinary person, they have seen it, and what is even more fortunate is that the extraordinary people in this city have also seen it!
Eunogia!
Even as the Black Dragon Prince Croseid, he had to be careful about the woman who had the same name as the last imperial concubine of the Perlas Empire. Maybe it was more than just the same name!
The beloved concubine Eunogia, who once made Galodio, the last emperor of the Perlas Empire, so enamored with her that he even ordered the execution of his own wife and even gave her the keys to the empire's treasury, was regarded by many people in the world. In the eyes, this kind of woman who deceived a powerful emperor into doing such a ridiculous thing must be the same as those femme fatales in history. They deceived the emperor to disrupt the political power, spend extravagantly and made the people miserable, which made the original Pearl The already turbulent situation in the Sri Lankan Empire worsened, eventually leading to the empire's destruction!
However, some historians and scholars do not take such a close look at this mysterious last beloved concubine. In fact, according to some remaining documents, Eunocia was not the kind of person who relied on confusing the emperor and indulged in luxury and enjoyment. The concubine in. On the contrary, she is indeed a woman with talent and intellectual beauty. From the surviving diary of the prime minister of the Perlas Empire at that time, it is recorded that Eunogia knew at least five languages, and her understanding of human geography was even more overwhelming. All the scholars in the law school at that time. It was precisely for this reason that Emperor Gallodio met this woman who was said to be extremely talented and beautiful, and then became obsessed with him┉┉
From a fair point of view, Eunogia, who was deeply loved by the emperor, did not actually use her favor to spread slander in the emperor's ears all day long and compete with other concubines in the harem as people imagined. On the contrary, Eunogia preferred to lock herself in the palace for research. The emperor was even rejected on several occasions. However, this almost rude behavior not only did not offend the emperor, but instead favored him. He not only built a magic tower for him in the palace, but also summoned The mages of the Imperial Legal Institution at that time, which is now the 'Tower of Sages', provided it with a lot of legal information.
Many scholars who studied the last emperor Gallodio find this matter incredible. Gallodio was a tyrant. This is a well-known thing. He played a role both in governance and in his harem. As a tyrant, according to the literature, several concubines were brutally executed for accidentally offending him, and there were even more numerous palace maids and attendants.
But Eunogia was able to make this cruel and self-respecting emperor as docile as a cat in front of her. For this reason, many scholars in later generations have speculated on the reason. One of the theories is rebellious psychology. Some scholars believe that Emperor Gallodio usually holds the power and no one dares to resist. For an emperor who is used to others being obedient to him, Eunogia's coldness at that time was true. The color and temperament just made Emperor Gallodio like it.
Of course, there are some people who are imaginative and unscrupulous and believe that this seemingly cruel emperor is actually a serious jerk deep down in his heart. It is precisely because of Yunokia's temperament that is even higher than him, so that the emperor For the first time, I experienced the pressure of facing the queen, and the true love deep in my heart was completely developed...
Finally, there is another theory that Yunokia is not a human being, but transformed into some kind of monster that can confuse people.
There are many speculations about Eunogia's true identity, but most of them have no conclusive evidence. Just a guess.
However, even with the honor of being loved by three thousand people in the harem, the last beloved concubine Yunokia did not want to climb to the noble position of queen. Ya complained a lot, but in the end she was killed.
Not keen on entitlement. Not keen on favors, the last beloved concubine only likes to stay in her magic tower and study, although Eunocia is indeed in charge of the treasure trove of the Perlas Empire and squandered a large part of the money. , but according to records, the money was used to purchase various precious materials and research equipment and was not used for material enjoyment.
Based on these scattered information, many historians believe. Rather than saying that Eunogia was a femme fatale who brought disaster to the country and the people, it would be better to say that she was more like a scholar and mage indulged in her own hobbies. In the days when she was favored by the emperor, Eunogia not only did not interfere in the politics of the dynasty. He also took the initiative to remind Gallodio several times that the legal institution of the Empire might be in rebellion. It was precisely because of Eunogia's reminder that Emperor Gallodio escaped an assassination organized by mages, allowing him to support him in the dark. The mages of the rebel army had to face the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army and were forced to stand on the bright side to form the current 'Tower of Sages'!
These deeds were all recorded in the scattered diaries of the imperial prime minister at that time.
She is not only the beloved concubine favored by the emperor, but also a wise concubine, a woman of extraordinary talent and beauty!
Many historians and scholars have expressed this view, and believe that this last beloved concubine actually appeared in an era that should not have appeared. It was because of the destruction of the Perlas Empire that this originally talented concubine was released. The concubine was forced into a lot of bad reputation by the world. If she could have appeared earlier, her talent would have left a mark in history that attracted worldwide attention.
However, two thousand years later, a woman with the same name as the mysterious last beloved concubine appeared in the free city┉┉
Croseid looked at Yunokia with a subtle expression. Two thousand years is not too long for a giant dragon, but it is not too short either. However, two thousand years is enough time to kill mortals other than giant dragons. Half-elves can live up to six or seven hundred years, which is the limit. The elves can indeed live up to two thousand years, but at this moment, even the elves who grow slowly should show signs of aging. They cannot be like the figure behind the gauze curtain. She looks as young and beautiful as if she was only twenty years old.
Maybe you can imagine that if the vampire who cooperated with Yunokia had embraced her two thousand years ago and turned her into a long-lived vampire, then the last beloved concubine would have to live to this day and maintain her appearance. It is not impossible to remain unchanged, and all she has to pay is the small price of never being able to enjoy the sunshine again. It seems that the vampires survived until the collapse of the Perras Empire by cannibalizing the rotting corpses of the empire. Calculating, the vampires may have gotten to know this beloved concubine at that time and embraced her for the first time and gave her a long life in exchange for her assistance. It makes sense that the person sitting in front of him today is the last beloved concubine who has been talked about by countless historians!
But┉┉
Regarding this most likely conclusion, Closide could not conclude that no matter how he perceived it, Eunogia sitting not far in front of him was just a human being, a very, very ordinary human being, but he was... It was clear that the human in front of him must be a monster in human appearance, disguised by some mysterious power and even deceived his own perception.
And during these days, Closide could vaguely feel that even Philolai, who had the same hobbies as Eunogia and often flirted with her and was very close to her, had such a good talent. The vampire girl actually doesn't know the true background of Yunokia.
Unknown monster!
So far, Closide can only give this definition to Eunogia, and try to be as careful as possible in dealing with her.
"By the way, Closide, how is your progress in the Kingdom of Saxony?" Eunogia suddenly asked after chatting for a while.
"Well~ There are two main veins of magic crystal and one iron mine. The exploration has been completed. The mining equipment and personnel are now being transported in. Because of the requirements of the Kingdom of Saxony, I will hire half of the workers as local people, but Lawrence has recently They are trying to set up obstacles for me and impose restrictions on any material or personnel under the name of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce that enters the Kingdom of Saxony.”
Lawrence is a big businessman who monopolizes the transportation industry. There are many equipment and technicians in the Black Stone Ring who need to borrow airships or ships for transportation. Recently, the Black Stone Ring Chamber of Commerce has obtained an ore mining contract in the Kingdom of Saxony. It is already a piece of paper. Lawrence, who had lost a lot of wealth due to the fire, was trying every means to cause trouble for Closide, which seriously slowed down the progress of the project.
Eunogia sighed with a look of boredom: "You are really annoying, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. Do you need me to use your channels to allow mining equipment and personnel to enter the Kingdom of Saxony?"
"No need, no matter how much Lawrence hinders, it will only delay for a little time. I know what is going on in the Kingdom of Saxony."
"Really? Then please take care of the affairs of the Kingdom of Saxony~" Yunokia nodded upon seeing this: "But I still have to praise you. You have done a really good job in mining the ore in the Kingdom of Saxony. You can directly push away Lawrence and let the royal family choose you, and it is a completely final deal that catches Lawrence off guard. Can you tell me what conditions you offered to the royal family? "
Closide obviously didn't want to continue talking on this topic: "Business secrets, no comment!" (~^~)
