In Zhuying Club, in a luxuriously furnished living room, a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak, a black cylindrical hat, and holding a black wooden staff sat quietly on the sofa. WwW, QunabEN, coM His clothes are very clean and simple. Although the materials are of extremely high quality, the style of the clothes is so low-key and conservative, just like his appearance and temperament.
Although his appearance is not striking, this middle-aged man's eyes are very clear and bright, like two stars, and even give people a very clear and cold feeling. He sat there quietly, and the living room naturally became quiet. Even the two maids standing in the corner of the room did not dare to make a sound.
Through a small hole specially designed for peeping behind a huge oil painting, Lin Qi looked at the middle-aged man carefully for a while and couldn't help but nodded. This middle-aged man's personal strength is not very good. He only has high-level magic power fluctuations, and the magic power fluctuations are restless, giving people a feeling that they may break at any time. Obviously, this little magic power is forcibly accumulated with potions. from.
But his eyes are very bright, which means that he is energetic and must have outstanding IQ.
After thinking carefully for a while, he released a huge amount of spiritual power to cover the entire small building, and thoroughly searched the surroundings. Then Lin Qi put on the face of Earl Longshan, slowly walked out of the secret room where he was peeping, and walked through the side door. Entered the living room.
Alda and Bilibili turned into two ordinary guards and followed Lin Qi. Then Alda waved to the two maids to leave the living room. When they passed by, Alda deftly touched the hand of a certain maid. He grabbed a handful on her breast and threw a few gold coins into her bra.
The middle-aged man saw Alda's every move clearly, and he couldn't help but glance at Lin Qi in shock.
In his opinion, it is impossible for a close guard of a powerful noble to behave in such an abrupt manner. But since Alda did this, Linqi, the 'Count Turing', actually didn't show any performance, or there was something special about this guard and he enjoyed very special treatment. Or he is the absolute confidant of 'Count Turing'.
Standing up slowly, the middle-aged man took off his hat and bowed deeply to Lin Qi: "Your Excellency Turing!"
Lin Qi looked at the other party majestically, gently raised his left hand with the large gemstone ring, and said calmly: "No need to be polite! Excuse me..."
The middle-aged man straightened up and said to Lin Qi in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "You can call me Goering, Goering Tartar Greenland! On behalf of my loyal master, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you."
Lin Qi sat opposite Golin. He crossed his legs and looked at each other. He said in a deep voice: "Please take a seat... Tartar Greenland, this surname has a very peculiar charm. If I guessed correctly, Tartar should be the name of a place on Wudalian Island. And Greenland , this surname should belong to, um. Please forgive me for my bad guess!"
Goering smiled and shook his head. He sat back on the sofa, put his cylindrical hat on his knees, and placed the black wooden staff meticulously and neatly beside him. He smiled and said: "Your erudition surprises me. Indeed, I have one-sixteenth of the fox-human blood in my body."
With the blood of a fox, Lin Qi glanced at Golin in surprise. No wonder his eyes were so bright, so bright that it was a bit surprising. Emotion is in his blood. They have the blood of the wisest race among the orcs.
Lin Qi nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Can I know the name of the master you are loyal to?"
Goering said neatly: "His Royal Highness Latus! The direct grandson of His Majesty St. Louis XIII. I brought his greetings and his goodwill. His Highness Latus hopes to get your help and is willing to give you The most sincere reward.”
Alda came over carrying two wine bottles. He quickly opened the corks and poured a glass of wine for Linqi and Golin. Then he naturally walked to Bilibili carrying another bottle of wine, and the two demons sat beside him. You took one sip and I drank it one sip.
Goring once again looked at these two guys in surprise. When his loyal master met with guests, as a family guard, he was so unscrupulous. This was the first time Goring had seen such a thing. Aren’t nobles the most observant of etiquette? The rigid aristocratic etiquette is annoying. But all the nobles cling to those ancient rules, guarding them lawlessly. It's really the best.
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Lin Qi smiled and shook his head: "Please forgive their casualness. They are all old brothers who have followed me for many years. We have been friends through life and death together, so please understand that they are with me." They have privileges around them. Unlike other guards, they have privileges."
Golin nodded in realization, and smiled understandingly. The intelligence bought from those intelligence dealers also pointed out that before Earl Longshan inherited the family name, he seemed to have been in some special professions for a long time, so he was very lustful, and many of his actions were like that. He is eccentric and incompatible with the traditional aristocracy.
After seeing the behavior of Alda and Bilibili today, Goring roughly knew what the so-called special business was. If it's not bandits, then it's pirates. Apart from this kind of business, where else could such a group of unruly roughnecks be raised
"Your Highness Latus, I need your help!" Golin said solemnly: "I come with the greatest sincerity, so I am not willing to deceive you with lies, let alone waste your precious time. If the Longshan family supports His Highness Latus organizes a resistance army to overthrow the rule of Holy Light I. You will be granted a title by the Prince of the Gallic Empire, and your territory will become an autonomous territory!"
Lin Qi blinked, a prince with a dominion
If an ordinary person heard this news, they would go crazy with excitement. Because if you have an autonomous territory, a prince is likely to become the founding king in a hundred years! Should he be a submissive prince, or should he be a king who holds great power and speaks for himself? Ordinary people wouldn't have the slightest hesitation to sacrifice their lives for this generous offer, right
But for Lin Qi, this condition is really not attractive enough!
Shaking his head gently, Lin Qi said in a deep voice: "In the Vyas Federation, the Longshan family can get similar conditions. Frankly speaking, the Dominion? This is not very tempting to me! As long as I am willing to pay gold coins , those nobles of the Vyas Commercial Federation can sell everything!"
Goering pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "This is the greatest reward that His Highness Latus can provide. You must understand that even the emperor of the empire cannot give you a higher reward. Dominion, a hundred years later Become a new kingdom, and you will be the founding monarch of a kingdom!"
Lin Qi frowned and shook his head gently.
Own a kingdom? The risk is too great, the goal is too big, and it is too eye-catching!
Even now the Duke of Green Forest and the Earl of Longshan are very eye-catching, but they are just two powerful nobles in the Vias Commercial Federation. Their combined military strength is not enough to affect the situation on the mainland, even if they and Caesar's empire was turned upside down, but it would not attract the attention of other countries.
But once a country is established, what the hell is going on? Wouldn't it be better to jump out on your own initiative and have people study everything about you, inside and out
With the strength of the Jinbei family and the Silver Iris family, don't they have the power to build a country? It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I just don’t want to. It is the wisest approach to become a reclusive family with strong influence and enjoy the treatment of the emperor without having to bear the risks and responsibilities of the emperor.
"I'm sorry, but the title of Dominion or Prince doesn't mean much to me."
Lin Qi frowned and tapped his fingers lightly. Before Golin could speak, Lin Qi said coldly: "But I don't completely reject His Highness Latus's request. I just want something else." Pay back!”
After drinking all the wine in the glass, Lin Qi said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell His Highness Latus that if I help him ascend to the throne, then he needs to give me a special license - I am allowed to monopolize the operation of food, medicinal materials, ordnance and other items in certain areas of the Gallic Empire. The size of these areas that are monopolized by me depends on how much assistance His Highness Latus needs from me!"
Lifting up a finger lightly, Lin Qi said easily: "For example, now that I have given His Highness Latus assistance worth a total of 100 million gold coins, then in the future I will get a provincial monopoly in the Gallic Empire. Right. Two hundred million gold coins is the monopoly of two provinces, and so on for the rest! How many provinces does the Gallic Empire have in total? Twenty-seven provinces, right? The maximum amount of assistance I can provide, That’s 2.7 billion gold coins!”
2.7 billion gold coins
Golin's body swayed. Even though he was extremely wise, he still felt like his eyes were filled with golden light!
Is this enough to form an army strong enough to remove Holy Light I from the throne? After all, Holy Light I does not fully grasp the situation of the entire Gallic Empire, and there are still many nobles who are dissatisfied with him lurking.
2.7 billion gold coins are enough to do a lot of things.
But what 'Count Turing' wants is the monopoly right to operate food, medicinal materials, ordnance and other items! These things are the lifeblood of the country, how can they be controlled by just one person
Lin Qi squinted at Goring and said calmly: "This is an investment, and it is extremely risky. Since I dare to invest heavily, I must see a rich enough return! If not, why would I do it for nothing? Spend money?"
Lin Qi smiled evilly and waved his hand: "Go and ask His Highness Latus for instructions!"
"I think he won't refuse my kindness. And we can discuss the specific terms 'slowly'!"
