The squeaking sound and the slightly shaking bed board woke the count from his dream. He slowly opened his eyes and saw himself lying in a carriage, the black solid wood carriage separated him from the outside world. There were two rows of seats that should have been opposite, but in order to stuff them into the bed, the seats had been removed. There were many soft and fluffy white pillows around him, and Fitch sat by the bed, looking at him with a smile. Cook was on the other side of the carriage, sleeping soundly.
"I expected to arrive at the palace at night today. I have already sent it to send the message in advance. Andrew has arranged a therapist. By the way, let me tell you good news. His Highness the Prince has been born healthy and the Queen is very safe. The fat boy is very soft and cute, but he cries when he sees me. Andrew said, "I will give the prince a name when you go back."
The count smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape. "It's called Delmond, I've thought about it a long time ago. What do you think?"
"I have no objection, but Ademan is probably a better name...Don't take it seriously, I'm just kidding."
The Count didn't care and felt relieved. Nothing was more important than a family, and the basis of the family was to have enough direct descendants. The safety of the little prince was like a heart-warming agent for the current Hall family, which could gain enough allies and time for the elimination of the family's enemies.
"Feich, do you get anything you gained when you go back to the camp? Do you know who is the spy?"
"It should be that I was frightened by the battle of the elves. Marelis and his mercenary regiment slipped away before I returned, and I couldn't find them." Feiqi clenched his fists: "Don't worry, I will definitely find them and not let them do any more tricks."
"Marelis? The old man from the Blackwater Manor also has a mercenary group? Oh, it's not a duplicate name, right?"
After learning from one's mistakes, Feiqi will not let go of any "coincidence" this time. After comparing what they knew, the father and son immediately realized that there was a big problem with Marelis. Feiqi said all his inferences bit by bit, analyzing the elves, churches, destruction and rebirth, and the count listened quietly.
"Marelis, I mean that Marelis of the Church may be their breakthrough. When he finds that he is threatened and controlled by the intelligence chief Mathers, he is likely to find a way to escape. He cannot confess to the church, nor dare to look for Mathers, so Marelis may have come to a danger that he cannot understand." Feiqi said: "Behind the Destruction Rebirth Sect, there is the support of the Creator, and it cannot be underestimated. Marelis trapped himself into a more dangerous trap, and then he was replaced by the people of the Destruction Rebirth Sect. The one who came to see you that night and provided information was probably Marelis after makeup."
The Count said nodded, fell into deep thought, and after a while he said, "That Marelis knew a lot of things, but if he had been replaced long ago, my problem would be useless. Now, his timidity, flattery and some rude things are actually part of his acting skills, which deceived me. And to avoid me seeing through the disguise, he also sucked away the clouds and mists to cover it."
"Cigarette?" Feich received a positive answer from the Count, and then he became more convinced of his judgment. "This Marelis is very powerful, but his victory comes from being prepared to fight or not. I will be wary of him."
"I know you can." The count said. He raised his hand hard and signaled Fitch to pick him up. At this time, Cook was awake, and saw this, he dragged his lame legs over and helped put a pillow behind the count so that he could sit more comfortably.
"I thought I was dead and never thought I could still live now." Earl Hall said to Fitch and Cook at the same time: "It's very lucky to be alive, but the injury this time was too serious. You don't need to comfort me. I know that it's impossible to return to the previous level. Being an ordinary old man is the best ending."
He looked at Feiqi and said, "You are not affected by my ideas. You can analyze it yourself and draw a more comprehensive conclusion than me. You have proved that you have enough ability to lead the entire family. From now on, all the affairs of the Hall family will be handed over to you. I will go back and take a rest, just look at the grandson. You can completely decide the family matters."
"Cook, go and call them. I will hand over the titles of Templar and Earl of the Royal to Fitch." Earl Hall said this and was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "I am stupid. The Templar cannot be handed over, so I can only follow me to the grave. But you are already a saint, so the next head of our family has not lost the word saint. This is a rare glory."
Cook wiped his tears, but he still had a gratified smile on his face. The Earl had always wanted to let Feich take over as the head of the family, but felt that Feich was not ready yet, and he was testing him while training him. Now, the Earl was able to make up his mind to hand over in advance, which meant that Feich's performance completely exceeded his standards, which meant that the Hall family would only become stronger and stronger. But with his personality, he would definitely have to beat him a few more words.
"Feich, if you give it to you, it doesn't mean you can do it well. There is still a difference in potential and ability. The main reason is that my body cannot hold on, otherwise what will happen to you?" Earl Hall tried to glar, but his weak look was not scary at all. "Tell me what are you going to do next?"
"I just said it and left it to me. Before I could adapt to my new identity, I asked me to make plans?" Feiqi scratched his head and said, "I don't know how much help the family will have, but whether it is strong or weak, I must act like a strong and weak family. We must negotiate with the church as soon as possible to show that we still respect the truth and the Goddess of Thunder. This is the basis for stabilizing the country. At the same time, we must also cultivate with the elves, thank them for their support, and express condolences and condolences for their losses."
The count nodded slightly: "It is feasible to coax the madman and deceive the mudman, but it is not enough. What plans do you have?"
"Everyone knows that what I am best at is growing potatoes, building roads and studying magic, but they are all wrong." Feiqi clenched his fists and said, "What I am best at is fighting and destroying all enemies. Father, I think the future trend is already clear. Under the leadership of Donde Mipp, the Church of the Goddess of Truth will continue to overdraw its influence sooner or later, and the subordinates of the Creator will not restore the Church of Goddess. At the same time, the role of the old nobles is getting smaller and smaller. They cannot defeat the Thunder Army, nor are they opponents of the demons. Therefore, I will find an opportunity to push down these two obstacles, make the United Kingdom become an empire, and those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish, and promote the Hell Knights mode that uses magic and magic guns, so as to establish a power that can truly protect the family and protect the world."
The count's breathing was a little rapid, and he immediately said, "You want to destroy the lord and knights and turn the entire kingdom into Andrew's? Do you know that if this news spreads, the Hall family will be besieged by everyone?"
"Dispose all the commanders and let the farmers have enough food, and this matter will be solved. In the past, it cannot be solved. First, there is no fighter like me who completely combines aggressiveness, mobility and concealment, and second, it cannot be solved by eating." Feiqi said: "I have thought about it carefully for the past three days and found that the solution to the problem is actually very simple, and there is no need to be so curved."
"Three days? Is it so long?"
"My father, you slept for more than two days in a row. Because you were carrying some seriously injured, the marching speed was not very fast, but you were also close to Tawugang City."
"It seems that my energy cannot keep up. Do whatever you want. The Hall family is yours." The Earl closed his eyes, but did not fall asleep. He was thinking silently about Feich's words. From the United Kingdom of the nobles to the Empire, the Earl had never had such "delusion", but it seemed to be possible. It is impossible not to pay the price, but in the worst case, who can do what Feich does? As Earl Hall thought about it, he suddenly felt a little excited. After a while, he felt tired again and fell asleep.
Feiqi stretched out his hand, touched his father's forehead, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Cook: "It's pretty good. I used this to scare him, and he held it all, which means that the most dangerous period has passed. The soul has recovered well, and even if the body is weak, it will not affect life span."
"Master Earl..." Cook suddenly changed his name, which made Feige very uncomfortable. His father just fell asleep on the side, not dead, and there was no ceremony in the middle. The title of Earl suddenly hit his head? He shook his head: "You'd better call me my name, otherwise it would sound awkward."
"Okay, Lord Feige..." Cook rubbed his nose, covered his smile, and asked seriously: "Is it true that you said you want the Hall family to be the only noble?"
"What do you think? Are you supportive or objecting?"
"I must be supporting all your actions, but I was a little shocked and excited for a moment, so there are many things I can't figure out and want to ask clearly."
"Don't ask, I don't know. I haven't done this kind of thing before, so there's nothing I can tell you. Taking one step at a time, maybe I'll find it impossible to walk and then give up." Feiqi shook his head and said, "Can you not talk about such a distant thing for now? The problem in front of me has not been completely solved. My father handed over the whole family to me, and I just need the help of my family. You usually follow my father, so do you know how much money your family has?"
"I don't know the exact number, but there are still 400,000 gold coins."
"It's too little, it's too little." Feiqi frowned. "I thought the family could have more money, but I never thought it was still so poor."
"It's not the case. In fact, among the nobles of the United Kingdom, the Hall family is already very wealthy." Cook said: "I have followed the count to visit some noble families. They have chickens, horses, cattle and sheep, a lot of food, armor and weapons, but they don't have much money to take out gold coins. When fighting on the Feinberg front, many nobles needed to use harvest mortgages to borrow gold coins to redeem the captured family. Some even did not redeem them because they had no money. Many nobles followed us against Aria because they were struggling with the war. How much do you need?"
"More than 10 million gold coins."
If Cook had just finished his meal, he must have already sprayed. "One million gold coins will plunder every treasure treasury in the entire Hoya nobles United Kingdom, and it will not be that many. Unless more gold mines can be found and then mined quickly. But what should I buy so much money? Who should I buy it for?"
Feiqi smiled and did not answer, and Cook was tactful and did not ask any more questions. The Count of the past was often like this. His plans were all in his mind. If he felt that there was no need to share, it would be better not to ask, he would not say it. This method helped keep it confidential, but this time, due to lack of communication, the father and son did not exchange information, and as a result, Marelis was protected in disguise, so it was not without disadvantages. Cook told Feiqi about his concern. He felt that Feiqi had always been proud, and this time he might be angry because he felt offended, but unexpectedly, Feiqi nodded, thinking that his thoughts were correct.
"You can't be completely arbitrary. It does require communication. Everyone needs to look at the problem from multiple angles, so you are right." Feiqi said: "You may not understand what I said, but you can listen first."
"Remember the day I came back from the camp? After putting things in the car, Shani and I left for a while." Feiqi said: "There is a hole under the battlefield where everyone was ambushed. Shani accidentally discovered it while she was hiding. We went to the cave to explore and found some bad signs. The cave was dug out by creatures that could dig holes, and after repair, it has existed for a long time. In the cave we found the altar of the former Lord of the Creator. At first glance, it seemed to be something that Goddess of Truth had managed the Yongli Continent before, but I checked the residual energy on it. The history of the altar was no more than twenty years."
"I'm lucky that this altar is well preserved, perhaps it's related to our resistance to the ambush and destroying all the red dragons and the Flame Snake Lizards. I checked the altar and it could transmit some kind of energy from the Second World. Don't worry, it's not the blood-colored meteor night to transmit monsters, it's just an energy, just like magic power. This altar made me very worried. I suspect it's related to the red dragons and the Flame Snake Lizards this time. Since I can't explore all the underground, I need to use other methods to detect it."
"I want to build a tower and carve the Divine View Great Prophecy to explore the entire Yongli Continent. This requires a lot of resources. If converted into money (according to the price of the Styx shipping), it will cost about 10 million gold coins."
Cook thought for a while, and then summarized Feich's plan with his own understanding: "A super castle worth ten million gold coins is enough to affect the entire Yongli continent. This is something that an empire should be equipped with. Lord Feich, you may have misunderstood if you have never built a castle. The nobles I mentioned don't have much money in their hands, and it does not include the value of the castle. Building a castle is always a matter of labor service, and it is an obligation that the subjects in the territory should fulfill. If there is stone, wood, and iron in the territory, you can do nothing."
Feiqi uttered, saying that he understood. Although Cook was loyal and enthusiastic, he did not understand magic. There was no big problem in recruiting residents in the territory and building castles, but the magic tower was completely different, and these people couldn't help. The amount of this money was too large, but in hell, there was a simple solution to the problem of construction.
