The Aosta family, the owners of the McKinsey Kingdom, is in charge of dozens of rich gold mines in the kingdom. Therefore, the Aosta family's wealth and their piety are famous throughout the continent.
The royal palace of the Aosta family is built on the bay. It is built with luminous light yellow stones. Even at night, it will emit a soft light.
This kind of stone is also called the light stone. According to folk rumors, this stone has the effect of exorcising evil. It is very expensive. If it were not for an open-air light stone mine in the Kingdom of McKenzie, the Aosta royal family would not be able to use it.
rise.
Inside this palace shrouded in light, there are many wide marble steps - one of which stretches all the way into the azure sea.
A gorgeous, golden round tower stretches into the sky from the roof.
Among the columns surrounding the entire building stood many marble statues. They looked like living people.
Glass has already appeared on the mainland, but due to the secrecy and cumbersome production process, the price of glass is still very impressive. Many great nobles who are famous throughout the continent can only use colored glass in small quantities to show their wealth.
But the palace of the Aosta family is different. All the windows in the entire palace will be covered with glass.
Through the bright glass of the tall windows one could see splendid halls, hung with expensive silk curtains and brocades, and with large pictures of famous figures on the walls.
In the center of the largest hall, there is a huge fountain spraying water.
The water strands shoot towards the glass dome above, and the sun shines down through the glass, onto the water, and onto the plants growing in the large pool.
As long as it is the first time for a guest to visit the Aosta family palace, no one will not be shocked by the luxury of the Aosta family palace.
The people of the Aosta family are also happy to see this. Every time they see the big shots losing control of themselves after seeing this luxurious scene, the faces of the Aosta family will have a calm look on their faces.
But my heart was filled with joy, and I secretly despised these "country bumpkins".
But William is an exception.
The visiting new owner of the Kingdom of Alva only raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the palace that the royal family of Aosta was proud of, but had no reaction at all.
This made King Aosta XI of the McKenzie Kingdom who received him personally, although he said nothing on his face, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
The king in his prime, Aosta XI, was a thoughtful and thoughtful guy who also had a pair of charming big black eyes. The eyes of the Philip family were inherited from him.
He can distinguish those who really don't care and those who pretend not to care.
This is his ability, and it is also one of the important reasons why he can go from being a non-eldest prince to becoming the head of the McKinsey Kingdom.
And he really noticed it in William - the King of the Kingdom of Alva, who was known as the "Noble Butcher", really felt dissatisfied with the palace that he was deeply proud of.
Aosta XI had a calm expression on his face. When he took William to the banquet hall, he introduced to him the long history of many sights in the palace without leaving any trace. However, William only responded to him with reserve and politeness.
His smile was stingy, and he was stingy with even a word of praise.
This made Aosta XI's eyes flash with a deep look of displeasure.
But the guest is not willing to flatter him. As a host who wants his guests, how can he kick them out?
Yes, you read that right, Aosta XI, who was famous for his wealth throughout the continent, asked William for help!
Otherwise, Aosta XI would not have invited William over under the guise of his son's thanksgiving banquet.
You know, William, a mudblood who is a commoner, may not be related to the nobles for dozens of generations. He has no noble blood at all. Those noble guys with noble blood in their bodies are still disgusted.
It was too late, let alone getting close. The mainland's aristocratic circle has always been closed to William, the lord of the Kingdom of Alva, although William never cared.
Not to mention, William massacred so many nobles, which made his reputation even more tarnished in the mainland aristocracy. The noble nobles all avoided William and his interest groups.
And not as good as.
But all the hustle and bustle in the world is for our own benefit.
Although William had a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle, one of his actions inspired many ambitious people on the mainland.
That is the order of grace!
Not to mention the countries in the Age of Gods, many of the heads of the countries at that time were descendants of gods and had the blood of gods flowing through them. The situation was different.
Since the arrival of the Lord of Holy Light, the feudal countries on the mainland have always had two major conflicts.
One is the conflict between religious power and royal power. Because of the miracle, religious power has always been superior to royal power. The pope can deprive a king of his crown or appoint a new monarch with just one word.
Of course, with the development of the times and the growth of royal power, the pope has used this power less and less to avoid backlash from the aristocracy of the entire continent.
The other one is the conflict between the central and local governments.
The center is the king who nominally controls the entire country.
As for the local area, it is the nobles on the ground.
These powerful nobles control the laws, military, and finance of their own territories. It can be said that they are a country within a country.
Some even went against the king directly, and sometimes, the king had nothing to do with them.
When the king was strong, he could still command the noble forces of the entire kingdom.
But once the king's strength weakens, he will not be able to give orders out of his territory.
This is difficult for many ambitious people to accept.
It's just that I'm limited by the perspective of the times, and I don't know how to solve it, so I have to use my brain to enhance my own strength.
But William's actions allowed them to see the dawn of a solution once and for all - if the entire kingdom, except for the royal territory, the other nobles, the largest territory, was just a village or a few manors.
In such a situation, which noble could resist the rule of the royal family?
Aosta XI was such an ambitious man.
However, the method is very good.
But the risks are also high.
This is equivalent to using a dull knife to cut the flesh of those nobles.
Which nobleman is willing to be cut off like this?
In William's previous life, in order to implement the "Tweening Order", the central and local governments fought countless wars.
In the Kingdom of Alva, no one knew how many nobles were killed under William's massacre.
Only then was the order to extend grace carried out.
Aosta XI wanted to implement the "Extension of Grace Order" in his country, but he was not sure of the appropriateness, so he broke the unspoken rules of the mainland aristocratic circle and specially invited William to come over, just to learn from William, the founder.
