He is of medium height, has a decent smile, and has a beautiful mustache on his chin. He is also Liliat's slave. Lord Lake, who once had a fake ring stolen by her, is walking back and forth uneasily: "What is this kingdom? Sell us all out."
Is the Countess dead?"
"Personnel power, taxation, military...we have all given it to the other party. Why not also give the legislative power and let the other party directly serve as the Speaker of the House of Lords?"
The local nobles were very confused about the sudden addition of an earl, especially after knowing the other party's outrageous privileges.
Lord Lake is not the first to complain to Viscount Aufdeen.
In Green Forest City, Viscount Aufding is the real power holder.
Yes, although in the eyes of many middle-class people and businessmen, Lord Lake is a great figure, but in the aristocratic circle, Lord Lake is just an entry-level person.
Viscount Ofdeen had an old face, a pair of green eyes, and a forehead full of wrinkles. He replied calmly: "In fact... the Duke of Argyi did invite him to be the speaker, but the countess did not accept it..."
"Holy Spirit..." Lord Lake groaned: "Is this still the Ingves I know so well?"
He looked at Viscount Aufding, with expectation in his eyes: "Your Majesty the Viscount, as a powerful figure in Green Forest City, you must convey our situation to the Parliament and His Majesty the King..."
Viscount Aufdeen showed a bitter smile: "Your Excellency, Lord Lake, you think too highly of me... Nowadays, the real nobles are all gathered in Pulmouth. I am just a little Viscount, what can I do?"
?”
"What's more... you should also know the secret news. Even the kingdom has chosen to compromise, what else can we do? If you are really unwilling, buy the Senate as soon as possible and transfer the fiefdom... However, you still need to find someone willing
The nobleman who exchanged real estate with you."
"How can I find it?" Lord Lake slumped in his chair.
After the Lord left, Viscount Aufding immediately showed a look of disdain on his face: "Stupid pig! I don't know how many people would envy the opportunity to be related to the Sotos family... I still want to
leave?"
For nobles, it makes no difference who they are loyal to!
What's more, Sotos was originally the master of this forest!
Ofdeen despises Lord Lake for more than just this...
In his opinion, Lord Lake was a nouveau riche in his ancestors and had no aristocratic heritage.
Therefore, although I know some news about the hidden world, I simply cannot understand the impact of 'The Return of the Earl' on the entire world!
He stood up, went to the study, and moved a statue with a green banyan tree mark.
As the statue rotated 180 degrees, a hidden door also appeared on the wall.
Viscount Aufding followed this familiar path and came to a basement.
On the alchemy table, you can see various mortars, scales, beakers, test tubes...
From the tools of ancient pharmacists to the latest models of cutting-edge chemical testing equipment, you can find them all here.
On the shelves not far away, there is a large collection of spiritual herbs, as well as other dense experimental records and occult books.
Viscount Ofdeen came to the alchemy table with familiarity and began today's potion experiment.
The Lord's family may not yet have a stable mysterious inheritance, but at the level of Viscount, there is no doubt that it already has one.
And this Viscount Ofdeen is even a very rare ‘pharmacist’!
…
"To rule a territory, it is actually very simple. Give the right things to the right people to do."
The steam train roars.
In the carriage, looking at the northern border of the kingdom getting closer and closer, Aaron taught the newly appointed Countess his experience.
"Management is not such a simple thing, right?" Liliat smiled bitterly, with a hint of trance: "This is my hometown. I once thought that I would just be a low-level bank employee all my life... I never thought that one day I would
Come back in this capacity!"
"Managing people is a very simple thing, because we have the power and the cost of trial and error is very low... After discovering the error, just kill and correct it."
Aaron replied nonchalantly.
A 'living dead' is enough to become the leader of a secret organization.
"In addition, we don't have to stick to the secular world. We can completely use mystical methods to consolidate our rule."
he continued.
"Like those ghosts you released before?" Liliat asked.
"Yes, they are good at getting information."
Aaron's eyes were slightly dark, as if he was seeing a dozen scenes at the same time.
The city councilors, high-ranking government employees, nobles, and big businessmen of Green Forest City...were very worried about the news of the countess's arrival, and they had frequent meetings.
Little did he know that all their plans were under Aaron's nose.
"Um?"
At this moment, a slightly special picture attracted Aaron's attention.
"Viscount Ofdeen... the real powerful figure in Green Forest... turns out to be a pharmacist."
He sighed.
"Pharmacist? That's really rare..." Liliat was not very surprised: "But nobles generally have mystical inheritance, which is normal."
"But my spiritual intuition tells me that he has another identity." Aaron's lips curled up slightly: "He is an acquaintance that you and I both know!"
"Um?"
Liliat immediately became interested, or in other words, noticed Aaron's words, and was delighted that he still retained a certain humanity and memory at this time: "Who is the hidden identity of this viscount?"
"Codenamed 'Jazz', the convener of the secret gathering in Green Forest City..."
Aaron said with a smile.
Liliat immediately thought of the secret party where she met Aaron, and then thought of more: "That 'Sir' does have a deep background and connections, a bit like an official force, and is also a pharmacist... It turns out that he is Ao
Viscount Fuding."
In her opinion, this matter may be used as a political bargaining chip, but just like that, it is not worthy of much attention.
Liliat continued to ask: "What are you going to do about the Sotos Museum?"
"Let the past be bygones... It doesn't have to be a museum transformed back into a castle. Maintaining the status quo is fine."
Aaron's figure gradually faded: "You have done a good job..."
Liliat stared at this scene blankly until she was awakened by the shouts of 'Your Majesty the Earl' outside, and then she wiped away her tears: "I'm fine, there's no need to come in."
Although she became a 'living dead', gained the allegiance and full support of the 'Green Banyan Council', and became a Green Earl, Liliat felt that some things were getting further and further away from her...
