Chapter 221 The spirit and faith belong to God, and the world and flesh belong to the king! (seeking subscription)

[Hadra Tower] In the royal capital, in a luxurious council hall, after listening to the report from his subordinates, the handsome second prince suddenly threw all the flower pots and oak wine glasses on the table to the ground. Cursed angrily.

   "Damn...Damn! Damn Harold, **** William!"

All the attendants present lowered their heads tremblingly, not daring to respond at all, only an old man with white hair and beard remained calm, looking at the glass in his hand, waiting for the prince's anger to be vented, so he was indifferent speak out.

   "Don't worry so much, Hatar, things are not as bad as you think."

   "But, Master Anthony, Harold won the favor of almost all the nobles at that banquet, and of course, my good father, King Bazel..."

   Speaking of this, Hatar's complexion twisted for a while.

In order to overwhelm his elder brother Harold at this birthday party, he went to great lengths to find a very rare crystal stone, and asked a master sculptor to engrave the most glorious stone that his father made when he conquered the enemy country. The meritorious deeds are engraved into a vivid picture of the characters.

  However, just when he thought he could shine at the banquet, that damned Harold actually presented a rare treasure called a glass mirror, which attracted everyone's attention almost instantly.

  So much so that at the whole banquet, he was like a funny clown, being left alone and no one cared about him.

   How does this not humiliate him!

"Hatar, you need to remember what those people who support you are for. They will not deviate from their own interests just because of a so-called rare treasure." Anthony said, gently placing the glass in his hand on the on the desktop.

   "As for your father, King Bazel, I think Harold's offer of that round mirror will only have the opposite effect..."

  Hatar looked at Anthony in confusion.

"Because Harold did a very stupid thing. Before the banquet, he couldn't wait to give another round mirror to the cardinal of the kingdom. What do you think your good father will think?" Anthony looked Calmly reminded.

  Hatta paused for a moment, and soon understood what Anthony meant. His father, King Bazel, had devoted his life to consolidating the kingship.

  Harold's act of dedicating the round mirror to Cardinal Losaker undoubtedly stirred up the thorn in King Bazel's heart again.

   There are also those nobles, who are the controllers of various territories in name, but in fact, a word from the major bishops is far more effective than their decrees.

   His elder brother Harold made sure to win the throne for himself, which was extremely flattering to that cardinal. I can personally see that if Harold becomes king, the power of the Holy See will only be greater than before.

  The nobles who support themselves are nothing more than counting on him to be able to limit the privileges of the priests to a certain extent after he becomes the king.

  Thinking of this, Hatar calmed down again, but there was still some worry on his face. "Master Anthony, what if the cardinal really supports Harold in a clear-cut manner?"

   This is also what he is most worried about. Relying on the blood of the royal family, although they are born with extraordinary strength, even his father, King Bazel, cannot compete with a cardinal.

  The only one in the whole king who can really rival that cardinal is Anthony, who is a great wizard, but he obviously cannot make a move easily, otherwise it will only lead to the siege of the Holy See...

   "This is the worst case scenario." Anthony's expression also became a little dignified.

  Although there has always been a saying in the Holy See that the spirit and faith belong to God, and the world and the flesh belong to the king, but these are just words to comfort the nobles.

   "Then what should we do now?" Hatar asked rather annoyed.

"I heard that the two round mirrors and the glass products that appeared on the market recently were all written by Viscount William. Maybe we can start from here and find out where the other party obtained this rare ore." Anthony pondered. said.

He is also very interested in this kind of glass products. During the research process, he accidentally discovered that these things can enlarge or reduce an object under a specific curved surface structure, and can be used to make many useful alchemy products. instrument.

   "Okay, I will send someone to investigate immediately." Hatar nodded and replied.

  Although William is only a viscount, he has a huge fleet in his hands. He is also a well-known wealthy businessman in the kingdom and one of the most staunch supporters of the eldest prince Harold.

  If he can be cut off, Harold will naturally lose an important support.

  …

  At the same moment, in the dean's office of Iyeta College, after listening to the boatman's report sent by Lauder, Lynn tapped the table with his index finger and said slowly.

   "That is to say, that William has not been very quiet recently, and even wants to re-divide the profit share?"

"That's right. William said that these novelty glass products are easy to attract the attention of others. He needs to spend a lot of thought and energy to deal with the nobles of the Holy See and the Kingdom. The benefits we give him are far from enough. He hopes to be able to split them in half..." The worker reported truthfully.

  Lin En sneered, William was like a lion, completely confused about the situation.

Although the other party needs to face some additional pressure, relatively, the most dangerous shipping work is completely carried out by them now, and William does not need to intervene. All the other party has to do is use their own power to cover up and bribe their superiors , giving 30% of the benefits is completely considered extremely generous.

According to the investigation of Lauder and others, William perfectly implemented his hunger marketing and product grading system, and sold those glass products at a sky-high price. In just two or three days, he earned thousands of imperial gold coins. , enough to catch up with the previous year's trade volume!

  However, there is obviously no limit to human greed. It seems that after hearing the news of Herram's death, William has become a little swollen.

   "Let Lauder drag him first and talk slowly. My bottom line is to give up a layer of benefits to appease the priests and nobles." Lynn thought for a while, and then made a decision.

William is now the Viscount of the Kingdom of [Hadrata], and Lauder has only been in the capital for a week, and the news has not been confirmed yet. It is difficult to take over all the forces of the other party in a short time, so it is better to delay it. This will be calculated slowly.

  What he needs now are all kinds of ore resources and scarce alchemy materials, and pure gold coins are not very meaningful to Lynn...
