"Huh? That's what the Duke of Too Shallow Water really said?"
In the basement of a remote house, a masked nobleman heard the news brought by the spy and asked in surprise.
Next to the noble man, a wizard with a three-inch long black beard sneered disdainfully:
"Can you believe the Duke's words if the water is too shallow?"
"Don't sell us all at a good price then!"
"This..." When the others heard this, they all nodded silently.
These people in the secret gathering are naturally the remnants of the Qianyu Empire. Which one of them, who harbors the old dream of restoring the country, would not be extremely disdainful of the Grand Duke Hailan?
I think back on what Grand Duke Hailan said: I would not be loyal to the empire unless I was the one. The truth is that the water is too shallow and it has tarnished my reputation!
But it has spread quite far and wide.
Many people who were greedy for life and fearful of death took this as an example. Facing the army of giants, they decisively chose to live happily and survive.
Even if you think about it seriously, even if Grand Duke Hailan chose to die heroically at that time, it would actually be of no use to the overall situation.
But for these remnants who can only hide underground, there is nothing better than finding a target to throw blame on to vent their fear and anxiety about the City of Miracles and the giant.
"Enough. Whether the water is too shallow or too cold, since Grand Duke Hailan is grieving for the great master, it means that he still has the Qianyu Empire in his heart."
The noble man raised his hand to stop the murmurs of the crowd, glanced at the crowd and said earnestly: "Our brothers and sisters are still in dire straits."
"We should unite all the forces that can be united now. As for the past things, we can put them aside for now. When we succeed...it will not be too late to calculate the merits and demerits at that time."
"good!"
Hearing this, several nobles nodded and showed expressions of hatred towards the giant.
The fact that these nobles are able to survive until now is actually a group of people who chose to be content with the giant.
It's just that these nobles who participated in the rebellious activities all have a common identity and background. They are also large farmers in the Qianyu Empire.
When the war ended, these nobles, who were preparing to make a fortune from the national crisis, were surprised to find that the massive amounts of food they had hoarded could not be sold!
Not only could they not sell it, but in fact, faced with the cheap and high-quality food being dumped from the City of Miracles, the value of their farm depreciated to the lowest point overnight.
Growing crops has become unprofitable.
But... after Xiao Yu was upgraded to the guardian of the mainland, a new guardian decree was issued, which stipulated various laws to regulate everyone's economic behavior.
Noble status itself can no longer afford tax exemptions and monopoly on various trades.
It is the most basic method of setting up a card in your own lot to collect tolls.
Shockingly, it was also revoked because of an illegal order!
The Qianyu Empire is gone, it doesn't matter, you can live with it.
If you can't sell the food anymore, just tighten your belt and endure it.
This... you can't even set up a card and charge, this is intolerable!
The giant in the City of Miracles is clearly the tyrant among tyrants and the mortal enemy of the nobles!
I want to drive them, the last remaining rays of the empire, to death!
"I heard that many of Grand Duke Hailan's grain estates have switched to red lotus roots... they must have lost at least one million gold coins."
A noble thought for a while and then found a reason to believe in Grand Duke Hailan: "And I remember that recently, steel from the City of Miracles has also been transported in the caravan."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the steel in the City of Miracles is two levels cheaper than our white iron!" Another noble said: "Grand Duke Hailan's iron-making workshop is famous, I'm afraid it will be closed this time."
"yes."
"Grand Duke Hailan also feels the same way as us, and feels the viciousness from the giants, right?"
The noble man wearing a mask nodded slightly, put his hands on the table, leaned down and said: "Okay, let's vote. Those who agree to contact Grand Duke Hailan and convey our goodwill... please raise your hands."
After speaking, the masked aristocratic man took the lead in raising his right hand.
Soon, two-thirds of the people in the basement raised their hands in agreement.
Only the wizard snorted coldly, but did not continue to stop him.
This wizard has royal blood and is an authentic remnant of the empire.
Therefore, he hated the Duke of Hailan whose water was too shallow.
But... after all, the overall situation is the most important thing now. After listening to the words of these nobles, the wizard felt that Grand Duke Hailan might be like those hateful nobles, and began to reconsider his position because of the loss of interests.
But he didn't know.
Although Grand Duke Hailan suffered a lot of losses under a series of Miracle City laws.
But the direct female of this family has already joined the giant's maid corps.
Even as a reserve soldier, the things I come into contact with and the landscape I see are completely different.
With her broadened horizons, the maid also allowed Grand Duke Hai Lan to take advantage of her, and she realized that there is a world outside the world.
A bright future is waiting for you!
What is the foundation of the Qianyu Empire compared to the status of a maid in the great Sons of God maid corps?
If you perform a little meritorious service, the value of the extraordinary materials given by others... can be a hundred times that of your own foundation, right?
Grand Duke Hailan jumped out of the imperial framework and made up his mind to become the pillar of the City of Miracles.
Therefore, after learning that someone from a secret society contacted me.
Grand Duke Hailan once again showed amazing acting skills, dealing with the other party, and immediately burst into tears after the other party revealed his identity. He looked extremely loyal, which made the black-bearded wizard who monitored this meeting also
I have to admit that the people of the empire are still there!
"good, very good, excellent!"
The noble man clapped his hands, looked at the performance of Grand Duke Hailan in the projection, and nodded: "With Grand Duke Hailan joining us, the space we can play will be much larger, and the acquisition of many materials will not be as difficult as it is now.
.”
"The people of the empire are still there." The black-bearded wizard also touched his beard excitedly with tears in his eyes: "I have decided!"
"I'll message the teacher right away and tell him the good news."
"There is an important treasure trove in Grand Duke Hailan's territory."
"The teacher has always been worried that Grand Duke Hailan would leak the information, so he didn't take action. Now that Grand Duke Hailan is one of ours, it's time to go there to open the treasure house and prepare for the restoration of our Qianyu Empire!"
The noble man trembled when he heard this, and quickly admitted: "Yes, the hearts of our Qianyu Empire are still there!"
"I will also contact other people to come and prepare for a great cause!"
"Be sure to let the giant know!"
"Our Qianyu Empire, with hundreds of years of foundation, cannot be defeated so easily!"
A few hours later.
In the palace of the city of miracles.
Xiao Yu, who had just finished learning how to correctly draw compound magic circles with the Marfa wizard, received news from the black-clothed guards and learned that a group of ant-like guys were causing trouble in the distant Qianyu Empire.
Originally, Xiao Yu only planned to send a group of Miracle Knights from the Divine Guard Army to crush the opponent.
Unexpectedly, the news mentioned that the leader of these remnants might be a great wizard who was in peak pseudo-level three state.
And he may hold world wonders and a large number of witchcraft wonders left behind by the empire.
Xiao Yu changed his mind and decided to take a trip.
Use the power of thunder to tell the creatures on this continent.
