Chapter 161 Brothers and Sisters

Same time

Phantom Town

Kunda Bohe, who slept until the afternoon, slowly woke up from his deep sleep. It can be seen that this Your Highness, the Prince, has been a little too busy recently. Tired, whether it was the news of the death of the God of Law, the attitudes of the Duke and the Marshal, or the testimonies of the two armies of the empire, there was something indescribable and strange about it, and the decision of the emperor William was completely incomprehensible to Kunda. The other party did give him the law that he must be convicted The reasons for pulling, but Kunta always felt that was not all...

He knew his brother, and he knew that William was not an emperor who was enthusiastic about opening up territories. Compared with those famous in history, The Eternal Emperor, William Bohe Although he unknowingly increased the overall national strength of the Chauvin Empire several times, there are still many people who feel that His Majesty's actions are not perfect and that His Majesty's behavior is too conservative...

[But that is wrong, our emperor is very powerful! 】

Kunda raised the corners of his mouth proudly. He glanced down at the golden pendant with the thorn flower totem on his chest, and held it in his hand with great care. It was a gift from William. His sixteenth birthday gift was a top-notch magic prop created by Farah Ossis.

My brother is an excellent emperor, Kunta has always thought so.

As one of the only legitimate sons of the previous emperor, no one understood his brother better than Kunda, who seemed to be obsessed with business rather than royal ways.

William Boho was very self-aware, both of himself and of his empire.

The emperor knew that he was not a ruler who could lead the empire to achieve great achievements in the northwest continent. He also knew that Shavin was not a country strong enough to sweep Liuhe, let alone "unify the entire northwest and establish a great dynasty." It was a far-fetched dream. In fact, before William inherited the throne, Chauvin, who had never made full use of his advantages, had gradually declined.

It was he who supported those merchants who were scorned by most nobles. It was he who single-handedly established the coastal commercial system that now brings huge amounts of property to Chauvin every year. It was he who insisted on converting those merchants who were originally The unreasonable amount of military expansion expenses turned into large cargo ships with no war function, which were leased to those businessmen without interest, and gave them a crazy price list to sell them to other continents.

So Chauvin had money.

A few years later, he began to reduce the bloated military system, leaving only a few core legions headed by the Knights of the Tsar's Sword and the Hurricane Mage Corps. He spent a lot of savings on construction and worship. In the end, his sincerity even impressed the Pope of the Kaguya Sect. After communicating with his goddess for three days and three nights, the latter finally announced that the Kaguya Sect was willing to become the state religion of the Chauvinian Empire, and established it under William Dan. The second Kaguya Cathedral was built in a separate piece of religious territory. Of course, the money was provided by the latter...

But with the strong support of these clergy, the military strength of the Chauvin Empire It immediately rose to a new level. Not only was it no weaker than before the disarmament, but it also gained a large number of Kaguya priests, officiants, and knights. Its power to intimidate the surrounding territories, countries, and settlements was several times stronger than before.

Was this done with money?

Perhaps ninety out of a hundred people would think so, but Kunda, who was already famous as the 'Prince of Good-for-nothing' at that time, knew very well that because of the previous major disarmament, he After thoroughly calculating the account, the conclusion is... not only did William not spend any money, he even saved a small amount!

After winning over the fairly influential Kaguya Sect in the Southwest Continent, William continued to implement the previous policies tepidly, constantly accumulating money for the country, accumulating money, and Accumulate money.

Anyway, Chauvin has the two heroes of the Empire, the Kaguya Sect, and money, which is enough to intimidate most of the surrounding forces.

Whether it was the senior officials of the empire who initially felt that the emperor was not doing his job properly, or the civilians who had received real benefits in terms of life and taxes, they were all convinced by William.

The only thing that makes people feel that there is a flaw in the ointment is that the emperor who seems to be very keen on doing business seems to lack a little bit of ambition. While life is becoming more and more prosperous, people also expect William to make great achievements and lead Chauvin to ascend the throne. A bigger stage.

But William disappointed many people. In these years, he only had a record of expanding the territory once, and it was with money...

Today, the title of Merchant King has gradually become A derogatory term, as mentioned before, William is more like a businessman than an emperor.

But Kunta knew that everything his brother did was right!

Chauvin has a limited population and insufficient foundation. Although it appears to be prosperous on the surface, there are still a lot of problems, and these problems cannot be solved overnight, or to be more accurate, these problems cannot be solved by An emperor's limited lifespan can solve this problem.

There are more and more talents emerging in the country every year, but it only takes one large-scale battle to kill most of those young talents.

Galahat and Farah are both famous, but they are already old. Although the average lifespan of the strong is usually longer than that of ordinary people, as long as something unexpected happens, the empire's high-level warriors The force will be severely damaged immediately.

You must know that a country that is also famous in the northwest continent has more than ten well-tempered legions and dozens of top powerhouses, each of which is no less powerful than Galahad. And the youngest one is less than thirty years old.

That is the foundation!

Bart Garros, the strongest man in the Chauvin Empire besides the Marshal and the God of Law, is just a great mage. Most of the other legions except the Knights of the Chauvin Sword and the Hurricane Mage Group are even I have never fought a serious battle...

There's too much difference, really too much difference.

What's more, William is also very clear that he is not a monarch who is good at fighting. If you let him enrich the treasury, there will be no problem, but when it comes to the struggle for hegemony among the heroes, William has little confidence in himself or the country.

So he accumulated advantages for Chauvin in a down-to-earth manner, established an economic system while vigorously cultivating a new generation of talents, and constantly poached from various places, hoping to build his own foundation for the Chauvin empire.

It is William's realization that his duty is to pave the way for the empire.

To reduce worries and burdens as much as possible for his brother, and to completely marginalize himself from the aristocratic circle, this was Kunda's realization.

The former understands the latter, so he always hopes that his younger brother can have a space to display his talents, instead of being used as a source of conversation or a joke, especially when someone compares the two behind their backs.

The latter understands the former, so he only lets others see his inferior side and devotes himself to becoming a mediocre person in the eyes of the world. In this way, even if too many people do not understand the deep meaning and original intention of his brother, they have no choice. , otherwise, if the 'useless prince' accidentally turns over, it would not be as reliable as the merchant king.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two titles of 'Prince of Good-for-nothing' and 'King of Merchant' may accompany them throughout their lives, but accidents did happen after all...

Differences also occurred. !

Kunda couldn't understand William's approach. This was not because he was more emotional than his brother, nor was it because he was not in his position so he could not pursue political affairs. It was just that he simply believed that his brother would not be in power. Someone who compromises in this situation!

[If it were my brother, there would definitely be a better way! 】

Kanda always believed in this, but William never told him anything.

In this case...

Kangda could only choose to cheer up. Although he believed that the emperor's silence must be for a reason, even if it was just in case, it would be good, even if it was just As a backup measure, he also felt that he should take action.

"I suddenly became sentimental after I was safe." He smiled mockingly, then walked out of his room slowly, and happened to bump into the dark elf girl who was about to knock on the door.

Kunta was distracted and waved his hand to this beautiful 'village girl', indicating that she could go to the house to clean up. However, he suddenly found that there was nothing in her hand, and her expression was a little gloomy, so he looked slightly confused. Asked: "Miss Gawen?"

"I suggest that you and Mr. Luther leave this place immediately." Wen solemnly said the same words as yesterday: "It's not safe here, at least not as safe as you think, Your Highness. If there is indeed something fishy about the death of His Excellency Farah Ossis, then all your actions may be completely controlled..."< br>
“That’s enough!”

Gawen’s words were rudely interrupted. "I don't know what Luther told you." Kunda looked at the beautiful girl with an elegant face in front of him angrily, and said in a deep voice: "But you are too self-righteous, woman!"

A person who is a prince does not need to be pointed out by a commoner, especially in his own territory.

And an excellent person who is always suppressing his talent will never think that a passerby's point of view is better than his own.

Perhaps even Kunta himself did not realize that he had suppressed his talents for many years and that his perception of himself was no longer objective.

What's more, no matter how objective he is, he doesn't think that an amnesiac dark elf girl is better than him in this situation.

Kangda has already analyzed and judged, and feels that there is no problem in resting here for two days.

And the more people who suppress themselves normally and pretend to be crazy and stupid even though they are obviously capable, the more confident they will be when they get serious!

So he scolded Gawen of course, and then strode out to get some fresh air.

The latter showed a sad and bitter smile, her blood-red eyes were full of self-mockery and confusion. This look did not look like herself at all, whether it was 'Jiawen' or 'Bai Fujin', Nothing like it.

Of course, this was not because of a curse from an NPC, but something even worse and uglier.

Let us temporarily go back two hours ago...

Real time PM20:05

S City, [White Rose] Manor

"Miss, you don't plan to go online yet?" A Qing looked helplessly at her gently stirring The 'owner' of the black tea couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Didn't you say yesterday that a big shot came from the game?"

Bai Fujin sighed softly and slowly took the tea. He picked up the fragrant cup of black tea in front of him and shook his head and said: "That's not important. Didn't I say it before? It's just a vacation. If you have something to do, you can go and play first."

"Hehe "I'm fine." A Qing smiled coquettishly, then walked up to Bai Fujin and gently squeezed her shoulders: "So what are you waiting for?"

"It's nothing, I'm just waiting for an answer." The latter answered calmly, but there was a daze in his eyes that didn't match his tone.

A Qing tilted her head curiously: "Miss, please be more specific~"

"The meeting over there ended six minutes ago."

Bai Fujin first answered the question, and then remained silent for a while before speaking softly: "I have helped my brother do everything I promised before, and if nothing happens, He has now gotten what he wanted, but until now, I have not received a single call from the Supreme Board of Directors, nor have I received a call from my grandfather, father, or him.”

"Miss..." Ah Qing's face suddenly darkened. She sighed softly and comforted her softly: "Stop thinking so wildly."

The girl who looked like a person in a painting just slowly closed her eyes: "It's been seven minutes."

A Qing's eyes were a little red and she didn't say much.

Another two minutes of silence passed...

Bai Fujin patted the slightly trembling hand on his shoulder and said softly: "You go and play first."
< br>A-Qing didn’t say anything more this time, she just turned around and left quietly.

The girl, who was left alone on the terrace enjoying the cold wind, counted to five hundred and ninety-nine seconds in her mind and pressed the speed dial button on her phone.

Then after she listened to the RAP for seven or eight seconds, a slightly tipsy male voice spoke up: "Ah, I'm sorry, my dear sister, my drinking ability is really bad. I forgot to call you to tell you the good news, sorry brother Okay!"

"It doesn't matter." There was a hint of surprise in the girl's eyes, and she asked softly: "Brother, is everything going well over there?"

The man opposite smiled. Very happy: "Of course, everything is thanks to Fu Now you, my side is stable. Even if you can’t achieve any big results in the future, your position as the heir of the group will basically be inevitable!”

“That’s great, congratulations, brother. "Bai Fujin smiled and blessed, and then said deeply Taking a breath, the voice that seemed to be always tepid actually seemed a little trembling: "So...brother, have you told grandpa, father and the elders as we promised, I have also helped you to a certain extent. A little busy? ”

The man named Bai Fuxi on the other side of the phone was happy at that time: "My dear sister, aren't you talking nonsense!"

The girl's fingers were trembling, and she slumped down on the chair with a slight loss of composure. The corner of his mouth traced an arc of happiness and satisfaction...

"Of course I didn't say anything to him. Let’s talk!”

The world quickly lost color, and only the voice that sounded like a death knell in the ears continued to speak...

“I cut off everything you have. resources, and by the way, I have frozen the accounts of three puppet companies where most of the staff only know you!”

...

"Haha, you are just too self-righteous, my dear sister."

...

"Hello? Are you still listening? Hello?”
