Chapter 272 The Black Death Is Coming! (Two in One)
Under the urging gazes of the knights, Grand Duke Adeline finally nodded to his daughter, patted George on the shoulder, and said: "As a father, I hope you can spend more energy and time with Sofia. As a duke, I hope my subordinates can worry more about state affairs. Family affairs and state affairs are always a headache, and it is always difficult to weigh them. But when a person stands in front, many decisions are no longer decided by him, but by the people behind him who are protected and support him. Stay for a while, George, I believe you will be a good husband."
After saying this, the Duke left.
George savored these words a little, and slowly, a chill rose behind him.
To others, these words sounded like an encouragement and belief in the son-in-law, but the real meaning was probably only understood by the two of them.
The Duke believed in his own vision and believed that the person he favored would be a good leader. He was not worried about the future path of this successor. Because this person, like him, knew that there were many people behind him.
Marrying his daughter to him without hesitation was never because he was a good son-in-law. Because he could see that this was a person who had a hard time with family affairs or emotions.
But he hoped that he would be a good husband.
He could put his daughter behind him and protect her like those behind him.
Just like the Duke himself
George suddenly looked at Sophia and suddenly understood why this girl was so afraid of her father.
He was a duke first, and then a father.
Sophia didn't think so much. Everything she experienced today made her mind numb. She hasn't recovered yet. She didn't even notice that she was stepped on by several footprints when she was dancing just now.
After seeing the Duke leave, George couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he found that Sophia beside him seemed to be relieved suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
He could see that this girl seemed to have been a good girl since the past. For this "blind date" arranged by her father. This typical ancient noble lady, unlike modern people, has her own opinions, but accepts it. Even though this fiancé who had kidnapped her left a very bad impression on her, she had been trying to put a smile on her face.
George's gaze made the girl feel a little uncomfortable. She loosened her arms, her face slightly stiff. She wanted to lift her hair that was wet with sweat. But this arm was clamped by the thick arm.
Sofia looked at the man with a panic expression, not knowing what he wanted to do. But the education she received since childhood made her try her best to hold her waist and chest, and raise her proud head.
A rude big hand reached out, but it only lifted her hair to her ears and stopped.
"Don't be nervous, Sofia." George patted her hand and said, "The biggest protagonists today are the princess and your brother. If you don't feel well, go back to the room and rest."
This was the first sentence he said to himself today.
Looking at the future arranged by her father, Sofia's face couldn't help but show a hint of complexity.
Her father told her that the man in front of her was a person with impeccable moral character. He is the knight she has been waiting for.
Sophia did not dare to believe this completely - at least he has not returned the borrowed things
And this person seems to have a bad temper
But she knows that her destiny no longer belongs to her the moment she was born.
Fate is so interesting. When those demon-slaying heroes walked into the hall, she had imagined that the person who led everyone to behead the demon came for her, not for Aunt Tanya
But she never thought that fate would be so tortuous
Sophia did not know whether to be happy or sad about all these arrangements. The only thing she wanted was that her future husband would not beat her like a university scholar when he was angry
What George mentioned was very timely. Because the banquet was about to end.
He was right. This lady was really tired today. She did not say a word, but her court etiquette was impeccable. In the end, she bowed and left here dignifiedly.
"Won't you dance with me again, our demon-slaying hero?"
George retracted his gaze and looked at Tanya who had come over at some point. This guy was holding a glass of wine in his hand, and his face was very excited, as if she was getting married today.
"Look at my legs, Tanya. Dancing is really too difficult for me." At this point, George pulled Tanya aside. The companions also slowly came over: "It's time to talk about business!"
George gnashed his teeth with excitement. He looked at the bustling group of nobles, scholars, and priests, like a thief who fell into a rice jar and looked at the rice.
"Tanya, do you see how many treasures are waiting for us to dig in this Bishui City? This time we are rich! Be obedient, and I will go back and make you the Earl of Black Pearl!"
Tanya curled her lips and looked at the Earl of Delong County with disdain in her eyes.
The black pearls gathered here seemed to be congratulating each other, and they looked no different from the nobles who had not yet left and were gathered together to talk.
But at the innermost of this group, there were a few people who were talking about real things.
During the chat, the two exchanged their information.
Tanya revealed the information they wanted to reveal in their plan, but if George expected it to be true, the rock they threw would only make waves here.
The main battle is a general trend and cannot be changed. And in this entire environment, nothing can be changed.
The demons that appeared in the valley made the Duke more cautious, but that was all.
"So George, the positions of Knight of Divine Grace and Grand Duke of Wings are now in the hands of the Bishop and the Duke?" Tanya slapped her red face and took a sip of the wine in the glass. She looked at her dance partner just now: "Then are you going to work for them for nothing? Wait until the day when the Duke dies of old age, so what can you do with it?"
"Turn over and sing." Lorna Austin nodded and said.
George looked at Tanya who was gloating over her misfortune very depressedly - indeed, he was the only one working for nothing. She is now the noble Earl of Black Pearl.
If he could have met earlier and known that the position of Earl of Black Pearl had been decided in this way, then he would have guessed the arrangement of the Duke and others earlier.
However, those guys will never let the two of them meet.
The Duke is more cruel and bold than he thought!
He believes that Tanya is a true knight who will inherit Elizabeth's last wish and lead the valley into the future. When faced with Campbell and his own knighthood, he would make the right choice - he boldly took this Campbell under his command.
And boldly believe that George will recognize this tone. And I also believe that this ambitious guy will never allow the idea of the Campbell family in Elda to thresh the valley.
These two locks firmly tied the valley to the Kingdom of Rodenk, and also added half of the Duke's own nails to the valley. George knew that Tanya's biggest weakness was that she was afraid of others trusting her. But the Duke gave her this thing, which made Tanya persuade George on many things out of consideration for the Duke.
But regardless, this will make the Campbell family's connection with the valley even closer. But there are differences between the Campbell family and the Elda Kingdom.
George boldly guessed that the rift between this ambitious family and the kingdom was getting wider and wider. Although Campbell didn't get anything from this black tide, the Duke may have reached a certain consensus with the Campbell family secretly.
When Erda and Rodunk go to war, both the Valley and the Grand Duke Windsong will give support to the Campbell family, which wants the throne!
Obviously, he has become the Duke's pawn again, but he must help the Duke play this game well - whether it is his own plan or the Duke's.
He had to admire the methods of these nobles who stood at the top of the pyramid of the Rodunk Kingdom.
From the moment I stepped into Bishui City and saw Fernando. I have already fallen into the Duke's chess game and entered this chain of traps.
"I'm still too young, Tanya. We set a big trap in Luoye City, but this group of people all got caught in their plan." After saying this, George sighed and looked at the other party. The glorious Duke in the distance said: "No wonder these guys can treat the Eldar people like stupid dogs. In terms of conspiracy and conspiracy, I am ashamed of myself."
George secretly shook his head: 'You guys played well, but unfortunately, you fell too deep into this whirlpool of mistakes. But it doesn't matter, Your Excellency, if you are wrong, the foreshadowing you have made, I They'll all take over. If only the Kingdom of Elda were still so obsessed with power and profit during the blood moon. Then don’t blame me for ruthlessly interfering’
"Don't belittle yourself." Tanya patted her shoulder and showed a nasty smile: "At least you are thicker-skinned than them."
"Thank you, Tanya, you should call me Earl of Delong County - anyway, my surname can be recognized by people, and it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor." Thinking of this, George was suddenly stunned: "Yes, How could Avery let Bolton become the Knight of Divine Grace? And how could the Duke let the future Knight of Divine Grace marry Campbell? Forget about the future relationship between the Holy Court and the Duke. , can be put to good use.”
Having said this, George looked at Tanya and said with relief: "The Divine Grace Knight will give it to me, because I am already Austin. Don't worry, our plan will not be affected. Now, we have a lot to do."
The plan will indeed not be affected. For Layton, the secret deal with the Black Pearl Valley is the only benefit the Campbell family can get this time. So it’s them who have to worry about cooperating, not you.
What's more, Tanya has become the Earl of Black Pearl.
The foundation of this cooperation is more solid than what he and Leiden had previously established.
And since the Duke dared to arrange it boldly, he should also dare to do it boldly!
As long as he reveals his ambitions to the Campbell family, this deal will continue to work together - he can even reduce part of the share of the valley transported to the Campbell territory and send it to Yongfeng City.
According to time, the first batch of goods will be sent to the valley in the next few days, and the ores exchanged will allow Yongfeng City to join this transaction.
When the cake gets bigger and bigger, it will be George who wants to take the next step - a typical way of trapping money and defrauding investments.
And now, he will have more reasons to stay in the city of clear water, truly implement his own strategy, and take away everything he wants!
Thinking of this, George couldn't help but cheer up, not knowing whether he was just appeasing his frustration or appeasing Tanya.
He mentioned the next key point to the backbones - the "diplomatic group" headed by Tanya will connect with those nobles, but this time it is the Rodunk people who are trading with the valley.
George naturally has to worry about the plague for the Duke. And in the following east and west Zhou, "Black Death" will get all the dark world under the gutter of the city of clear water with Aji.
As long as Rosgerd opens the game first, then, with the help of Hillyak, I, the great wizard, will play the role of "Black Death" perfectly.
"Hehehehe, wait for me, my dears. 'Thinking of this, George laughed excitedly.
According to the itinerary, Hillyak should have come to the city of clear water alone.
After that, Rosgerd will focus his main energy on the laboratory, and those who have been trained will be sent to his hands continuously.
The Knight of Judgment - perhaps renamed as the 'Knight of the Holy Black Lake', will share the worries of the Duke and the lords. On the one hand, this avoids more contact with Avery - before being baptized as a Knight of Divine Grace, the Knights of the Black Lake had reasonable reasons to avoid him. If Avery is sensible, he will only contact George more.
On the one hand, Wolpe and his men will gather those nobles, wandering knights and mercenaries, unite them, and go to the front to recover lost territory, and be led by Wolpe.
George believes that everyone will do very well, because now is the general trend.
But according to Rosgerd, who has transferred goods here and even entered and exited black goods, the real difficulty is here - if the City of Clear Water is not clean enough, they can't say what they will encounter.
Vic White has done this in the City of Wing Wind, and George believes that Avery has also sorted it out.
But no one knows whether there are any unresolved or newly buried mines here on the eve of this "victory".
If this place suddenly explodes before the great escape, then everything will be over.
So, he now has to use another person's identity to sort out this place.
