Section 69 Akin
Chapter 69 A Jin
"Why do you say that this little Byron, he has a bad personality?" Ashu Rufate changed to another topic.
"Ah, because he is the kind of person who wants something he is interested in and steals it if he doesn't give it to him." Rotia replied. "He looks like a playboy. And he is the kind of person who doesn't care about other people's feelings at all. If he weren't the son of Duke Byron, now... the body would have been thrown into the Lunqing River."
"Did he raise all such sons?"
"It's hard to say, who knows. But I heard that his eldest son seems to be very capable and is said to be excellent in all aspects. But that's also a rumor, who knows. In short, this little Byron seems to have no advantages besides being rich. But for some reason, the Duke seems to be very fond of this son... I think maybe it's because he is unmarried. How can he say that the future is also a very critical figure."
"That's true," Ash Rufate replied. "You said just now that if he were not the son of Duke Byron... the body would have been thrown into the river long ago?"
"It must be so. You don't know how many people he offended... He looks like he is the first and second in the Heavenly King. But he is not sure of his own knowledge. If it weren't for his father's support, he would have been slaughtered now. Not to mention anything else, he was still asking me for a little girl last night."
"Request?" Ashu Rufat remembered that at night, the store was full of girls. "Business was so good last night? Is there no time to accompany him?"
"How is that possible? Didn't I just say that in the end he took four away in one go. He asked me for a special type of minors...the kind of minors. Of course, he took four people away who looked like minors, and he should be satisfied. It's okay for us girls, after all, we make money with our bodies, and we can always settle it with money in the end. But he has done things like robbing folk girls... and even robbing a noble girl."
"So exaggerated?" Ashu Rufate also found it a bit unimaginable. Although the Duke of Byron was an ambitious person in terms of moral stance, he was also a smart person (otherwise he would not be able to become the Regent). How could he indulge his son so much?
"So I said, if it weren't for his father, he would have been hit by the river of corpse."
"Haha, no matter what, he has such a father, right?" Ash Rufate replied. "It is precisely because of this that he can do such a rude behavior. This should be considered a 'wisdom'. Well," he looked at the empty cup in his hand. He had just finished drinking a full glass of green wine. "Are there any other rumors in the city?"
"This... there are no special new rumors, they are all old rumors, or those rumors that have no evidence. Ah, by the way, I heard that the little Grufiz who came as a diplomatic envoy a while ago... I don't know what to say, it seems that the top leaders of our country are planning to enthrone him as earl. They also plan to give him fiefdom or something..."
"Ah, is there such a thing?"
"It's probably a way to please the emerging forces. But this kneeling and licking posture really makes people feel uncomfortable. After all, it's just a foreigner and has not made any special contributions to our country. It's okay to give him a noble title, but this is actually planned to actually enthrone him a piece of land. Is this almost the taste of ceding land?"
"There is still a certain difference between ceding land." Ashurufate thought for a moment. "If you are a noble in your country, you must fulfill the corresponding obligations. Because of the lack of borders, there are no key issues in security... But the matter of enthroning as a noble... is indeed quite exaggerated."
"Maybe there is some mysterious force behind the scenes. By the way, I accidentally heard a rumor that the reason why the Beiru people were able to succeed independently... not only because of their independent success, but also bit off Shem's body... because they have the support behind them."
"What kind of support force?" Ashu Rufat immediately asked.
"There is no clear evidence, but according to a senior official of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce, their chamber of commerce has loaned millions of Jin'ori to the Beiru people, and it is an unsecured interest-free loan! From this reason, it is definitely not just the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce who borrowed them. I think it is impossible for those merchants to do a loss, so someone must have guaranteed and paid the price for them."
Ashu Rufate pondered for a moment and suddenly changed the topic. "Ah, by the way, Ms. Rotia, I have a question to ask, if your plan is successful... then, what are you going to do?"
"Pretain everything in your hands." Rotia still had a smile on her face, but her voice was cold.
“That means…”
"Not everyone has a father like Duke Byron who can't afford to offend him." He replied. "However, Lunqing River is also a big river. If there are 180 names of unknown corpses in the river, it will not cause any trouble at all."
"Last time Ajin told me... As long as there is profit, there will always be people willing to take risks."
"Enterprises always coexist with risks. As long as the risk exceeds the interests... no fool will die. In fact, it is similar to the flower district where we are now, isn't it? To be honest, if you want to collect protection fees... there are about a few thousand girls here. Receiving tens of thousands of gold and lis a month is a trivial matter. But does anyone dare to come?"
"I understand." Ashu Rufat drank all the green drinks in the cup. This kind of drink can't even be called wine, because its taste is very light, almost the same as beer. But I have to say that this thing may be a good invention in Huajie. Isn't there an old saying that if you don't get drunk, you will get drunk? "No matter what, I feel the same in this regard. It's fine if I need my help. By the way, I heard about something today, which seems to be an important thing."
"Oh, what kind of thing?"
"The commander of the Guards, General Paul, seemed to have died of a sudden illness. It should have happened last night." Ashu Rufat said. He noticed that after hearing the news, Rotia's expression also changed. "Will this matter... have a big impact?"
"Well, Mr. Asu Ruffatt...what should be said...remember what we said a few times ago? You know, General Paul is the person who is extremely subtle in the current situation..."
"But... the commander of the Guards is not a very high-level position." Ashrufate said. He now has some understanding of the hierarchy in the army, so until this General Paul's status is far from comparable to Rafa.
"Well, Mr. Asu Rufat, you should know that a small axle on the carriage can easily cause the whole car to disintegrate. Our General Paul's position is to maintain the present
"Where is this General Paul?" Ashu Rufate asked.
"On the side of the little queen, he can be said to be one of the few loyal ministers who are loyal to the royal family, and perhaps even the last one. Mr. Asu Ruffat, you must still remember the explanations I made with you last time..."
"I remember...but I haven't seen this General Paul before, and I don't know what kind of person he is."
"Ah, he is a loyal and intelligent man. He tried to keep the independence of the Guards. On the one hand, the Duke of Byron made General Rafa unable to intervene... It is easy to understand. If this unit surrenders to General Rafa, it would mean that he could launch a mutiny anytime and anywhere, and the Duke of Byron, who has no direct troops, could not fight against it. Even if he wins this game in the future, General Rafa could overturn the board at any time."
“It’s true.”
"... On the other hand, he used General Rafah's power to prevent Duke Byron from intervening. Because General Rafah was responsible for fighting against the barbarians after all, he could not stay in the royal city for a long time. So once Duke Byron gets allegiance to this army, he may have a sudden attack when Rafah is away and cooked the rice. I said that once our little queen is pregnant with the child of Byron, then General Rafah is unwilling to accept it, unless he tries to launch a rebellion, he will be unable to make the world come true. In short, it is through this method that General Paul finally established his complete control of the Guards. Although both players tried their best to control this army and each used some tricks, in general, the Guards were still independent of the current struggle, but they could get along with each other."
"A pretty smart method."
"Well, if this can continue, maybe our little queen has the last hope after becoming an adult. According to my understanding of political struggle, a unit of absolute loyalty is the greatest capital of a player. If she can resist the 'marriage offensive' faced by these loyal ministers who are loyal to the royal family... Although it is small, there is still a little chance. No matter what, she is also filled with the brave and warlike bloodline of the Markremiz family..."
"Ah, Ashu Rufat, are you here too? Hey, Ms. Rotia!"
Ash Rufat turned his head and saw Ajin's figure like a bun. At this moment, Ajin looked radiant, as if he had just successfully sold ten gold coins for the goods he bought.
"Ah, isn't this Mr. Ajin? Why do you have time to come to my store?"
Ajin smiled and came to Ash Rufat to sit down. Rotia moved quickly and immediately gave Ajin a glass of the same green drink. "What, what's going on?"
"Haha... there is no good thing." Don't look at what he said, but fools can see that Ajin's mouth is almost grinning at the moment. Either he found another opportunity to make a big profit (according to Ajin's view, this should not be difficult), or he finally found the results of his long-term market research.
"Ha, I finally decided what I want to do today. Ashu Rufate, do you want to participate in a share?"
