Chapter 482: Become a king under the crown?
Fitterson sat on the chair and said in a bewildered manner:
"Clifford, think about it, you only need to do one thing, and it is very simple for you, and you don't need to come out in person, you can get the title of Duke of Byron..."
"...What are you still hesitating? Ricardo Byron dared to execute a noble and upright person without authorization. This is something that His Majesty and the Prince absolutely cannot tolerate. The Presbyterian is discussing how to deal with Ricardo. Sooner or later he will lose the dukedom..."
"...Only when you have the support of your majesty and prince, can you win the final victory in the future title contest and inherit the title..."
"... Clifford, we are very willing to help you..."
A pudgy middle-aged man sitting across from Fertson remained silent. When he heard the last sentence, he suddenly sneered:
"Hmph, you guys want to use me, don't think everyone is a fool."
This sentence broke Futson’s true purpose, but he was not surprised and rejoiced. The reason is very simple. If Clifford hadn’t been tempted by this proposal, this guy would have left long ago and would sit here and listen to himself. Chattering?
The smile on Fitterson’s face remained unchanged:
"The prince once said that only an alliance based on interests is the most solid alliance. We all have the same goal, don't we? So to help you is to help ourselves."
There was a trace of struggle on Clifford's face. After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind:
"What do you need me to do?"
A sincere smile was quickly piled up on Fertson's face:
"I heard that a steward in the castle of the Duke of Byron's family is your nephew..."
"Yes." Clifford nodded. "Abiter is responsible for the management of the winery and the cellars set up in the castle. He has worked for the Duke for more than 10 years."
Fitterson suddenly approached the opponent, and talked about the plan.
He suppressed his voice extremely low, and even the people standing in the room could only hear a few words at most.
"... Deborah and Mous... potions... drinks..."
Witch forest.
In front of the wooden house where Fertson had visited, there appeared a middle-aged woman with explosive hair. In this ignorant and conservative age, this hairstyle can be regarded as shocking, and will definitely be regarded as a lunatic by normal people.
She has a big eye-catching nose with a little red dot on the top of the nose, which looks very much like rosacea, which makes this lady's appearance look quite ugly.
She is the owner of this wooden house-Mad Lady, Yuri Yafiros.
"Bangbang...bangbang..." she yelled while knocking on the wooden door, "Scarlett, Darcy... the teacher is back..."
Her voice was extremely old, like an old woman who was hanging down.
Seeing that no one responded, Yuri murmured, "Two dead brats, where did they go?" Then she waved her right hand, and the two vines hanging from the roof swayed gently, swimming into the house from the window. As if life was born
In a sound of "rustling", the wooden door was opened.
After walking around in the messy wooden house, Yuri immediately noticed something was wrong. It didn't take long before she found a note on the wooden table. When she glanced over the note, her face instantly sank.
"Ice and Fire Poisonous Dragon Potion... Renault Odin..."
A few minutes later, the crazy lady hurriedly left the wooden house.
The city of Copernicus, the castle of the dukes.
Before dawn, the castle is already busy, because today is a very important day for the Byron family.
On this day, the granddaughter of the current Duke, Miss Deborah, will hold an engagement ceremony with the Fire Superhero, His Excellency Mus Theron.
This ceremony not only means the union of a pair of unmarried men and women, it also represents an important signal that the Byron family will formally take refuge in a noble and powerful upright person, Renault Odin.
"Father, almost all the nobles in the nearby area have come, and there have been a lot of nobles with more distant fiefdoms. I also saw Viscount Marklands, Earl Bellantoni, Earl Hamery..."
Carrick Byron rushed into Duke Byron's study and exclaimed excitedly, "The number of nobles who plan to attend the engagement ceremony is more than we thought!"
The Duke of Byron had an "already expected" smile, he glanced at Carrick and said:
"Hurry up and entertain the guests. I'm afraid you will be very busy today. By the way, remember to visit Deborah. You are her father..."
Carrick nodded repeatedly, turned his head and left the study. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said with some embarrassment:
"Father, it seems that you are right. I shouldn't object to marrying Deborah to Renault's subordinates. I thought that doing so would be ridiculed by other nobles. After all, the Moose Theron was just a man. An extraordinary..."
The Duke of Byron sighed and said:
"In the past, the suppression of the Upright and the Transcendent was indeed the unanimous tacit understanding of all the nobles. After all, they held a powerful force. If they were allowed to get involved in power, would the nobles still have a way to survive?"
"However, the times are different. Under the threat of the black orcs, the status of the capable person will become more and more important. The weight of a righteous person is more important than we can imagine. To treat them."
"Think about the Thunder Eagle who once had a powerful shock in the north. Facing the assault of the Upright, even if the Duke of Castro's military ability is strong, what about it? It's not the death of the First World War, Castel Where is the Luo family now?"
Carrick was silent for a moment, and then asked unwillingly:
"Father, will the Byron family become a vassal of Renault in the future? You are a duke, and Renault does not even have a knighthood under his crown. The so-called'Tide Nation' is just a territory occupied by Renault, and has not received any kingdom's. recognition……"
The Duke of Byron laughed dumbly and asked a series of questions:
"Carrick, is it important to have a title? Does it matter whether the territory is recognized? Haven't you noticed the island guard team under Renault's crown and that terrible weapon?"
After a pause, the Duke uttered another sentence that shocked Carrick:
"What if one day Renault becomes a king under the crown? What if Haichao leader becomes Haichao Kingdom?"
"It's impossible!" Carrick blurted out.
"Why is it impossible?" The duke showed a hint of sarcasm, "There is a powerful force under the crown, and an equally powerful army. If he wants, who can prevent him from becoming a king? Are you? Or the nobles outside like rubbish. ?"
Carrick said nothing.
If Renault were here, he would definitely give the Duke 213 likes.
In his view, "Government from the barrel of a gun" is the most common saying. Without sufficient force, there will not be enough right to speak. In the face of absolute force, the aristocracy is a fart.
But in another world, the Duke's remarks can definitely be called apostasy.
In this world, aristocratic culture has penetrated through thousands of years of human history. As a result, alien terrapins have developed a perverted fascination with aristocratic identity. There is an almost insurmountable gap between aristocrats and non-aristocrats.
The same goes for the white skins on the earth. Even in the modern society where the nobility has declined, as long as there is a nominal aristocratic status, ordinary people will take a high look at it.
In order to beautify themselves, these guys even tossed up a concept called "aristocratic spirit", forcibly linking all good virtues with "nobles", such as "noble temperament", "generous love", and "compassionate". "The feelings of "and so on" talked about a few indifferent things, trying to divide the society into two groups spiritually, namely the aristocracy and the non-aristocracy.
However, in its essence, whether it is aristocratic or aristocratic spirit, it is actually slavery, "a group of people trying to enslave another group of people", and an alternative slave owner.
Their basic logic is this: I am an aristocrat (spiritual aristocrat), you are not, then you should listen to me, because the aristocracy is noble, so I am destined to step on your head.
Renault doesn't think so at all. He comes from an ancient country with a more rebellious spirit. He believes more deeply in "princes and generals, rather than kind."
Is it true that if you become a **** noble, you will not die if you cut off your head?
Duke’s castle, wine cellar.
"Crunch!"
A steward wearing a black dress pushed open the door of the deepest room in the wine cellar and whispered back and said: "Mr. Fertson, the most precious batch of red wine is stored in this compartment..."
In this room with an area of more than 20 square meters, it looks empty, with only a wine rack made of rare silver mahogany, on which there are more than 20 bottles of red wine.
Fertson walked to the wine rack, picked up a bottle of wine, and held the resin on the bottle with his right hand.
In the manager's surprised eyes, the resin gradually melted.
Immediately, Fertson tore off the resin, pulled out the cork on the bottle mouth, and then took out an exquisite crystal vial from his pocket.
This is exactly the ice and fire poisonous dragon potion.
He unscrewed the vial, dripped a few drops of transparent liquid into the wine bottle, shook it a few times at random to mix the medicine and red wine evenly, then re-plugged the cork into the bottle mouth to restore the resin.
It was not until everything was restored to the original state that Fitterson nodded in satisfaction.
During this process, the steward has been standing quietly by the side, without saying a word.
Fertson left a tiny mark on the bottle again, turned his head and said to the steward:
"Abiter, remember, at the beginning of the banquet, you must use this bottle of wine for Renault Odin..."
