Earl Harvey wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly: "No, no, no, you guys, hurry up and carry those two boxes over."
The knights put away their weapons, trotted out, and brought in two large red boxes.
The lid of the box was opened, and the gold coins so full almost dazzled people's eyes.
"Here are 100,000 gold coins. Please accept them. After the second prince is eliminated, there will be more." Earl Harvey smiled, "I have heard that Mr. Chris, you have organized a group with a black magician before.
A conflict broke out and almost caused a large number of casualties. I believe you must hate those evil guys very much."
"Prince Kil colludes with the Black Dragon Palace. There is some kind of ulterior deal behind it. Please be sure to stand on the side of the eldest prince."
"Yes." Chris nodded and used the space ring to collect all the gold coins. "What does His Highness want me to do?"
Earl Harvey immediately said: "Please set off immediately to go to Taman City to help in the battle."
"This is a bit difficult to handle." Chris looked bitter, "My city is developing, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant ran in from outside: "Sir, a count from the royal capital wants to see you."
"What?" Earl Harvey screamed strangely, feeling something bad arose in his heart.
Chris showed a weird smile: "Let him in."
Not long after, a tall and thin middle-aged man, protected by several knights, walked in with a smile on his face: "Master Chris, I am Count Pullman. During the banquet at the vineyard that day, we
I’ve seen it.”
"Hello, Earl Pullman." Chris suddenly became familiar with him. He had indeed met the other person once.
Seeing the two of them talking happily, Earl Harvey turned livid with anger.
"Who is this?"
Chris introduced: "Count Harvey from Taman City."
The two counts looked at each other, and there seemed to be electric sparks flickering in the air.
Chris quickly stood between the two of them, fearing that they would fight.
"Master Chris, on the order of His Majesty the King, I have brought you a generous gift." Pullman clapped his hands (Prince Keir has already held a coronation ceremony, so he is now the nominal king of the Eagle Kingdom).
A dozen servants brought in two large brown-gray boxes, which were still full of gold coins.
Count Pullman said: "Here are one hundred thousand gold coins. Your Majesty doesn't want you to do anything. You just need to wait for the end of the war in Dawn City."
It is enough to show that King Kiel is full of confidence in himself.
Chris's heart skipped a beat. As expected of two brothers, they had exactly the same idea.
Earl Harvey suddenly became anxious. It seemed that both sides were giving the same amount, but his side was not competitive at all.
After all, Prince Yawen wants Chris to sacrifice his life for him. It can be said that he joins the camp. If he loses, he will have to pay the price.
But King Kil didn't want Chris to do anything. It was like asking him to remain neutral. Even if Prince Yawen could win the final victory, he wouldn't do anything to Chris.
Even a fool here knows how to choose.
Seeing Earl Harvey's anxious look, Pullman felt happy in his heart. His majesty was indeed a smart king who could come up with such a strange trick.
Chris pretended to be embarrassed: "You are making it difficult for me."
Harvey said quickly: "I will return to Taman City immediately to ask His Highness the Prince for more gold coins. How much do you want, please give me a price."
The domestic marquises are wise to protect themselves and will not participate in the struggle for royal power.
And Chris has a strength comparable to the seventh level, and is the only high-end combat power that can be obtained.
Chris rolled his eyes and said, "How about this? You guys have lunch at my place first, and then go back and wait for the news. Let me think about it carefully and get back to you in a few days."
After saying that, he turned to the servants in the hall and said, "Go and tell Mrs. Ellen that we will have a feast of dragon meat at noon today."
Since he is an honored guest, he should be treated well.
After Princess Shirley disappeared, Chris's dragon meat business could not continue, and a lot of it was still stored in the cellar in the castle.
At noon, Chris, Harvey, and Pullman ate at the same table. The atmosphere was very awkward, and no one spoke during the whole process.
Even if he eats the precious dragon meat, he really has no appetite.
But neither of the two earls dared to leave first, for fear that the other would stay and offer more generous terms to make Chris's heart sway.
After finishing lunch in this weird atmosphere, Chris couldn't stand it anymore and forcibly sent the two of them away.
······
In the afternoon, Chris took a peaceful nap in the castle.
After waking up, he was about to go out, but found that in addition to the Jordan and White families, all the nobles and businessmen in the city had arrived.
"Come with me." Chris led them to a newly built hall with hundreds of chairs used for daily meetings.
Chris sat on the throne at the front, facing everyone: "What allowed you to mobilize all of you?"
A noble asked: "We would like to know, Lord City Lord, are you going to seek refuge with King Kil or Prince Yavin?"
Obviously, the arrival of the two earls could not be concealed from them.
This is about everyone's wealth and life, so they can't help but care about it.
Chris sighed, knowing it was time to tell these people the truth.
"I don't want to surrender to anyone."
Chris' eyes swept over everyone's faces and said word by word: "I want to establish my own country!"
The entire hall fell into a brief silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
Earl Raymond laughed dryly: "The Lord of the City is really good at joking."
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Chris said seriously.
"If you are willing to follow me, I guarantee that he will be promoted to at least two levels of title. If you are not willing, you can leave tonight, and the gates of Dawn City will be opened for you."
·····
At night, in the residence of Viscount Hughes.
Howard asked anxiously: "Father, Baron Wood and the others have left. Do we want to go together?"
Gandolf calmly uttered one word: "Wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for someone who can become a king."
······
Baron Wood ordered his servants to carry the gold coins and valuables at home onto the carriage.
Unexpectedly, I had to leave just a few days after moving here.
"Huh, stupid boy, you really think you are the favored one of God. Do you think this is just a child playing house? You actually want to build your own country. I'm afraid you won't know how you died in the end. I won't accompany you.
Let's play." Baron Wood taunted secretly.
The butler came to Wood and said respectfully: "Sir, everything has been packed for you."
"Okay, let's leave now." Wood boarded the carriage and left with the servants and guards.
A huge convoy set off, with a total of more than a dozen vehicles lining up in a long line.
When they walked to the south gate, they saw the city gate wide open.
Wood waved to the behemoth shrouded in the night: "Goodbye, Dawn City."
Not far after they walked out, they saw another group of carriages coming out of the city.
The butler reminded: "Master, he is from the Barton family."
"Wait for them."
Soon, the two teams gathered together.
McGinn Thune opened the car curtain and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Wood, you have to leave too."
"Of course, who wants to wait for death with that ignorant boy?" Wood said with a smile, "Are you going back to Mote City?"
McGinn shook his head and said: "Mote City is like a dead city now, why go back there? I am going to Nebula City to look for opportunities."
"It just so happens that we are traveling on the same road, let's go together."
"Ah?" McGinn looked very surprised, "Don't you want the fiefdom outside the city?"
Nobles all have fiefdoms, unlike him, a businessman, who only has a family business in Mote City.
Wood snorted coldly: "Compared to my own life, that little bit of land is nothing. After the two princes decide the winner, the winner will come to deal with this kid. I can still come back after the war is over."
"Too."
The carriages of the two were two or three meters apart, and they were walking side by side, talking and laughing.
