Gao Wen began to think that Viscount Andrew was an interesting guy.

He was like a businessman, even better than a nobleman.

But he was also a not very clever businessman at the same time - at least in Gao Wen's opinion.

A skilled businessman would not put transactions, bargaining chips, debts and other things on the surface at this time, and a nobleman disdained to mention this matter at all. Viscount Andrew's best way at this moment should be to continue to provide help to the Cecil family quietly, but at the same time, he also penetrated his influence between the protected knights and soldiers. At the same time, he used his aristocrat to determine his "debt claim" against the Cecil family in legal terms, and it would be best to expose this claim to the king, and then... whether Rebecca is willing to repay the debt is no longer important.

The laws of this country and the rules of the aristocratic system will help him complete the transaction.

Of course, Gao Wen felt that he could understand Viscount Andrew's mood. After all, the decline of the Cecil family is well known, especially today when the family's core territory was completely destroyed, it is really unknown how much "repayment" Rebecca can have.

"The Cecil family will not owe others anything," Rebecca's words seemed a little unconvincing. "Don't worry, we have the ability to repay. Although we have lost the richest area, some of the forests on the outer edge of Cecil's territory are still there, and as long as I, the heir, are still there, there is always a loan of the Cecil family in the Mithril treasure house. At worst..."

Gao Wenqing coughed twice, interrupting Rebecca's words.

He felt that he had watched enough of the show and had roughly understood the current situation. At the same time, the memories in his mind were sorted out, so he stood up: "Rebecca, don't be impatient. Viscount Andrew, look longer-term."

Andrew glanced at Gao Wen. After all, this man who was "suspected to be an ancient hero" still had a certain deterrence to him. Regardless of whether the other party was real or not, the viscount Mr. restrained: "Sorry, I am indeed a little...greedy."

He admitted the word "greed", which surprised Gao Wen a little. He raised his eyebrows: "You are very honest, but this is fine - pursuing interests is not a shame, but we have to figure out the status quo. A viscount's lord was destroyed, a dragon appeared in the kingdom, and monsters from the period of the Demon Tide reappeared - in the face of these things, it is inappropriate to talk about business."

Before Andrew could speak, Gao Wen continued: "Of course, after Dayi Lingran finished speaking, we still have to consider the real problems. You are worried that the assistance to the Cecil family will accumulate infinitely and eventually make you lose all your money. Then I will tell you clearly that the Cecil family not only has the ability to repay any debts, but also if you can seize the opportunity, we can also bring you unlimited benefits."

Viscount Andrew looked into Gao Wen's eyes: "Please continue."

"I myself," Gao Wen pointed to himself, "I am your biggest investment."

Andrew's expression frozen for a few seconds, and then he pulled the corner of his mouth with a little embarrassed: "Duke... Your Excellency, I believe you are really the Duke, but I have to remind you that you have been away from the world for seven hundred years, and Ansu is even the second dynasty. Whether it is your title or property, you have actually been enfeoffed, inherited, consumed or... taken back by the royal family. Of course, I personally respect you, and every Ansu person respects you, but I am not just a person, but also a lord. I should consider my territory and people..."

Gao Wen shrugged: "Let's broader your thinking, Mr. Viscount, is it only real money and real territory that is worth the investment?"

Andrew: "You mean..."

"I have the right to open up permanently," Gao Wen raised the sword in his hand. "When Gao Wen Cecil holds the sword of the Blazer, he has the right to open up in any unbordered land, including and not limited to undeveloped areas within Ansu, barbaric areas outside various countries, Gondor wasteland and other areas where there is no legal dispute. As long as it is possible to ensure that a certain control is maintained after the above-mentioned areas is pioneered, the sword of the Blazer is the territory of the Cecil family, and the Ansu royal family will recognize and ensure the lord's interests of Goffin Cecil at any time."

As Gao Wen said, he looked at Viscount Andrew's eyes wider and wider, and then deliberately slowed down his speech: "The above pioneering power was signed by Charles I, the founding king of Ansu. At the same time, the Ogure tribe state in the west, the Tifeng Empire in the east, the Kaoling Kingdom in the south, the Elf Silver Empire, and the northern city-states jointly recognized that the validity period is infinite - as long as the authorized pioneer, that is, I am still alive, it will take effect forever.

"Actually, this decree was not signed to me alone. Everyone of the pioneer leaders at that time had a corresponding authorization, but today... I am the one who can exercise this right."

Speaking of this, Gao Wen grinned and laughed happily: "The old guys who signed these documents must have never expected that I would lift the coffin one day."

Viscount Andrew, who was stunned, had not spoken yet, but Rebecca next to him could not help but exclaim: "Ancestor...Sir!! You...is this true?!"

"Who is responsible for her history class?" Gao Wen couldn't help but cover her forehead and glanced at Hedy with a squint. "Or this law has been abolished? If it is abolished, then I would be a little embarrassed - by the way, the heads of state should not be bored so much that after hundreds of years, they suddenly gathered together to hold a congress and announced the abolition of a pioneering bill that had no effect long ago?"

"Rebecca's history lesson... I actually taught it, but the grades have always been bad," Hetty explained with a blushing face, and then quickly answered Gao Wen's question. "In addition, the decree you mentioned was not abolished--no one dared to abolish it when the pioneer knights were still alive, and after the death of the last pioneer, this decree became a part of glory, representing the belief of mankind to reshape civilization, and no one would abolish it."

Viscount Andrew continued the second half of the sentence: "Not only did it not be abolished, those historians and eruditions will also write about it..."

Gao Wen shrugged: "So my sudden zombie is definitely both surprising and unexpected for them - this law from seven hundred years ago has finally come into play again."

Viscount Andrew stared at Gao Wen, especially at the sword of the pioneer in his hand: "I admit that this is indeed a...a idea I never thought of... If you use permanent pioneering rights, you are indeed likely to revitalize the Cecil family, but I am foresight - this will be a long-term deal. Do you know how many borderless lands can be opened up on the border of the kingdom now?"

"I know a little, my descendants have already told me on the way," Gowen glanced at Heti and Rebecca next to him. "Basically, the places that can support people have been enfeoffed, and the land without a border of the wild forest worms, or borders Gondor wasteland."

"So what are you going to do?" Viscount Andrew spread his hands, "Where are you going to revive your family?"

"That's what I have to consider," Gao Wen smiled, and the picture of looking down at the earth from a high altitude. It was a satellite map that humans of this era had absolutely no way to start with. The accuracy and breadth were almost crazy. It was deeply stored in Gao Wen's memory. Although it may be an outdated record a few years or even more than ten years ago (after all, Gao Wen has disconnected from that overlooking perspective now), it is enough to point out the future path for Gao Wen. "You just need to think carefully... How much investment value can a founding grand duke who has participated in the second development and still maintains the permanent development rights to this day."

Andrew lowered his head and thought about this matter seriously for the first time.

After a long time, he spoke and broke his silence: "If your permanent pioneering right is really recognized by the royal family, then my little viscount will be happy to help you in the best of your ability."

Standard and sleek aristocrats speak - without leaving any flaws, without breaking the rules, and can also show a certain degree of respect.

Rebecca opened his eyes wide: "Can it be that the founding kings and ancestors of all countries recognize the permanent pioneering power, and His Majesty the King of the present will not recognize it?"

Gao Wen smiled and looked at the immature junior: "Of course he doesn't want to admit it-in fact, he is very likely not to admit my identity. Even if Charles I pops up and proves that I am true, the King and his staff will probably still pray from the heart that I can die on the spot and then be buried back in the ancient tomb in the southern border of the Kingdom."

"Why?!" Rebecca felt that his views were challenged. "You are the founding grand duke! You are a person dedicated to the temple! The kings and nobles remember you every year. Don't they want you to come back and help this kingdom again?"

Just as Gao Wen was about to explain, he heard Amber across the table shouting: "Because they have three days off!"

While shouting, the half-elf lady was deliberately winking at Gao Wen, which caused Hetty to glare in anger.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, that's what I'm making for her," Gao Wen waved his hand, "The real reason...Herty and Mr. Andrew should have figured it out, right?"

Hetty sighed: "The king will remember the hero because the image and reputation of the hero can be used to consolidate his rule, but he will never hope that the hero will come back. Once the hero returns, those images and reputations will no longer be something he can control..."

With Andrew present, Hetty had some more ruthless words not expressed: especially when the king originated from an illegitimate son and was not justified.
