Imperial capital, late at night.
The weather has begun to heat up, located in the middle of the Empire, every year from July to September, is the hottest season.
Only at night, after a whole day of sun setting, the wind will bring a rare cool.
The whole Duchess is busy. Dewey gathered a lot of people from the shop to pack up, because after dawn, they will leave for the northwest.
Now, madder can no longer see the old groom's appearance. He is wearing a luxurious dress. Madder looks like an old housekeeper in a rich family. Although there was a little bit of Lorraine plain accent occasionally, it was hard for even the fastidious etiquette master to pick out anything wrong with madder in his manner.
Sandy follows madder all day, like a little tail. For the smart kid he brought back, Dewey gave him a lot of preferential treatment and gave him a sum of money to settle down before he left.
In addition to Hussein and Nicole, the two figures who can not be seen, the vast majority of Dewey's current lineage are gathered in the temporary Duchess house. Having been in this world for so many years and having experienced so many things recently, Dewey has a decent team.
Rowling knights and Zach will stay in the capital and continue to be responsible for the management of Dewey's industry in the capital. This is Dewey's money. George W. Bush, who has the same name as the president of the United States, temporarily took care of the pirates for Jolin. However, with the growing maturity of Zach, Jolin will soon return to the fleet. By then, Mr. George Bush will continue to return to the north to contact the mercenaries.
Solskjaer, Seth, these two magic talents are the most valued by Dewey. Together, they will help Dewey do a lot of magic experiments... And see if they can create any value. And gegwu... This mouse has been studying the improvement of her metamorphosis recently... Since that old dragon can recover itself. Then gegwu also wants to recover. However, the premise is that he must first break through his metamorphosis level, first become a human, and then drink the fountain of youth.
QQ adult, still exists as duvet's pet. As long as it doesn't speak in public, no one will pay attention to duvet's bird pet.
General Longbottom, Knight Robert. And Lao Yan, they are now the leaders of Duwei's warriors, and those special talents who can be regarded as the thieves are also included in Duwei's bodyguard team. These days, in order to train these guys to ride horses, they have suffered a lot.
And, of course, uncle alpha. However, the role of alpha can only be reflected in the northwest.
That's all Dewey has at the moment.
And a few servants, and a bunch of slaves. The safety on the road is different. After all. This group of people has the top mainland strong, powerful magicians... I believe that if there is any thief who dares to hit duvidi's attention, then it is not duvidi himself who should pray.
And Prince Chen also ordered to send 500 people to escort them along the road.
The whole Duchess house was busy, and the big and small boxes were loaded one by one. The servants were busy back and forth, and mad yelled. Little sandy ran after him.
Dewey himself stood on the windowsill upstairs, watching the night... Looking at the surrounding buildings from upstairs.
Imperial capital... I'm leaving again.
In the northwest, Du Wei has great confidence that he will make a big show in the northwest. Many things that can't be done in the emperor, to the northwest, Dewey believes that without constraints, he can let go.
"My Lord."
Du Wei is looking at the night scene of the imperial capital, lost in thought, behind him came Ruolin's gentle call.
Dewey turned and Jolin stood at the door, her face hesitant.
"What's the matter, my lady knight?" Dewey smiles.
"My Lord. There's something... I don't know if I should report it to you, but I think it might be very important. "
Du Wei Yang raised eyebrow: "say."
"Two special guests from our slaves... They seem to have some uneasiness."
Ruolin refers to benka, the great sacrifice of the United Kingdom of Southeast Asia, and lufeck, who has written Aragon's message on the sole of his foot.
"Oh?" Dewey frowned. These days, he has been thinking about what to do with these two guys. The problem is that the message on the sole of lufeck's foot really made duvet feel depressed every time he thought of it. So as of today. Both of these guys were specially locked up by Dewey's order. In addition to the freedom of action, but also good to eat and drink to keep.
"The card. He said he wanted to see you
"See me?" Dewey seemed to smile: "see you then!"
The meeting place is in duvidi's study. When benka and the path Fick were brought in, Dewey found benkadi's face very dignified, but they looked good. After all, Dewey just locked them up and didn't abuse them. And lefek even gained a little weight.
"Oh, Mr. great sacrifice, I hear you want to see me?" Dewey looks at old benka with a smile.
"Yes, your highness." Benka suddenly took a few steps forward, and then plopped down on his knees. His posture was very strange, a bit similar to the "five body throwing" appearance that Dewey had seen in his previous life.
But he did not stop the old guy who had tried to cheat himself. Dewey gently raised his chin: "so, you have something to ask me?"
"Your Highness, I know you are going to the northwest." Old benka gritted his teeth and said, "are you going to take us..."
"I have reserved two places for you in the carriage." Dewey simply replied, "you're going to the Northwest with me."
Old benka's face was pale. He didn't seem to dare to look at the terrible boy. He just hung his head deeply and said in a low voice, "my Lord, is it valuable for you that we stay here?"
"Well, do you have any good suggestions?" Dewey smiles.
"Yes." Old benka immediately said, "my Lord. Here, I'm just an old and frail old man, and Alfred, he's just a weak child. We can't bring you any value. We can't work. You can only lock us up every day. For you. The value of our stay here is far less than that of a young slave. "
"What do you mean, then?" Dewey looks at old benka.
"I ask for redemption." Old benka gritted his teeth: "my Lord, I don't want to go to the Northwest with you. You know, all the tribes in Nanyang are waiting for me to go back, our United Kingdom..."
"Your United Kingdom is the enemy of the Empire." Dewey interrupted him coldly: "do you want to go back? And then use the child with the father's blessing at his feet to be the king of the United Kingdom? And they want to use him to reunite the United Kingdom, which is already a mess? And then against the Empire? " Dewey smiles. He leans down and stares at benka: "what do you think. Would I allow that to happen? Don't forget, I'm the Duke of the Empire
"But... The Empire has just abandoned your family, and your whole family has been..." old benka's words surprised Dewey.
His face was so gloomy that he took a look at Ruolin standing at the door.
Ruolin shivered all over. In Du Wei's gloomy eyes, with an undisguised murderous air: "Ruolin, now you check it for me! Who is the one who has said the "news" in front of our two distinguished guests! I remember my order was to lock them up and not allow anyone to touch them! "
Ruolin was startled by the little Duke's gloomy eyes. She quickly lowered her head and said nervously, "my Lord, I..."
"Check it out now!" Duwei suddenly roared, his face was very terrible, with his anger, his whole body suddenly emerged a red flame, the flame let Ruolin heart jump!
At the moment, Dewey shows the strength of an excellent magician. These days, his hard work in the magic society has greatly improved his strength. At this moment, when he was angry, he deliberately cast a fire magic. With his anger, old benka's whole body was covered by the flame released by Dewey. As if he was in the furnace, the flames were less than half a meter away from his body. As long as Duwei shook his fingers at will, old benka would be swallowed by the flames at any time!
Ruolin has already run out.
"It seems... You know a lot." Dewey's smile was cold, and his eyes seemed to be dyed red by the fire.
Old benka was shaking all over. He was afraid to move. Next to the path, Fick was already scared to cry.
Almost an hour later, Dewey did not speak. Old benka didn't dare to say anything more, just fell on the ground shaking.
When Rowling came back, she brought back the result that Dewey wanted.
"Big, big, it's..."
"Who is it?" Dewey's face was gloomy.
It's a servant in a shop. Everyone knows about the Luolin family, and some people inevitably like to discuss the right and wrong behind their backs. This servant is responsible for delivering meals to laobenka. Laobenka is not stupid. He also knows what he needs to do. It is undoubtedly good for him to ask for some information.
But the root of this matter was not the servant. In fact, under the management of Ruolin, all the people in the shop were very comfortable. No one dared to talk about the Duke behind his back. The only exception... Made Dewey frown.
It's the quadruplet female magic apprentice. The four girls, who thought they were the people around Dewey, didn't get Dewey's favor... The truth about the Rowling family first came from the mouth of the four girls.
"All right." Without waiting for Rowling to finish, Dewey nodded: "needless to say."
Then Dewey quickly made a decision: "the servant who brought them food... And our four beautiful ladies, all of them will be arrested by me! Then everyone will give ten lashes! Punishment should be carried out at the same time, so that everyone can see that this is the end of disobeying orders! Tie them up and whip them together! Ruolin, I need you to remember. I give people to you to manage, then they are your people. If you can't manage your people well, then I will be very disappointed with you! Do you understand? "
Ruolin's face was grim, nodded, and then turned away.
Du Wei's ruthlessness surprised Ruolin. The four beautiful girls just had a few more words... Ruolin walked out of the room. I can't help sighing in my heart. The young Duchess, has gradually grown up, and the first time when we met, his body's dignity is growing up.
Dewey sat quietly in his chair for a while. When he raised his head again, his face had calmed down, and he looked at old benka tremblingly: "now, let's continue our conversation. Mr. great sacrifice. "
Benka is afraid to say more.
Dewey's eyes hung over him: "you said you wanted me to let you go? You think I'm going to betray the Empire? Because of what happened to my family, do you think I will betray the Empire, let you go back and build a strong United Kingdom against the Empire? "
Old benka is shaking even more.
For a long time, Dewey suddenly laughed. There was something strange in his voice. Then he walked around the desk and came to benka. He gently raised his hand and put it on benka's shoulder. Then he leaned over and whispered in old benka's ear:
"You guessed right."
... what?
Old benka hardly believes his ears! What does this little devil say?
Just now, looking at him furious, old benka felt that he was doomed this time. Those people who spoke disorderly were whipped, and he might be executed! It's the master's right to execute a slave!
He looked up in amazement at Dewey, who was close at hand. The smile on Dewey's face did not fade, but there was a strange look in his eyes. Then he gently waved his hand, rolled up a wind in his sleeve, and slowly closed the door.
"Now, let's talk about the terms. The question of ransom. "
Old benka was stunned for a long time, then he opened his mouth and stammered out what he meant.
He hoped that Dewey would let him go first, and leave trail Fick here, and then he would send a large amount of wealth in exchange for trail Fick.
"You go back first?" Do you think I'll believe you
"It's the only way. Your highness Benka quickly explained, "if I just write back. Or send someone back. The United Kingdom won't believe it. I'm the only one going back myself. Talent... "
Dewey nodded. "Well, go on."
"Only when I go back can I persuade the other great priests and the king to be willing to pay the ransom. As for the number... "
Old Ben card bit his teeth: "I think, with my influence, the price paid, should be able to make you satisfied."
Dewey flicked the table. "Be specific."
"You can send a boat. When the boat comes back, it will bring back the whole boat of gold, spices, gems... It's a whole boat!"
Dewey didn't speak.
Old benka saw that the Duke was not interested. He bit his lip and said, "well... Two boats!"
"This card." Dewey sighed: "you know, if I let you go back, in a sense, it's treason. Do you understand? Can the wealth of two ships buy my treason? "
Old benka's voice trembled: "well, what do you mean?"
"I have a fleet." Dewey said with a smile: "I will let the whole fleet go back with you, and what you have to do is to fill the whole fleet for me! When the fleet comes back full, I'll send the lovely path Fick to Nanyang
Whole... Whole fleet
Old benka hesitated for a long time, but the United Kingdom needs rufik, the only blood of the father in the world.
At last, he nodded, and his voice seemed to squeeze out of his voice: "good! I accept it
When benka and lufeck were taken out, Dewey sighed: these Nanyang guys are really rich!
When duvet was alone in the room, a voice came from the side.
"Do you really do that?"
It's Duke Dewey's pet, Mr. QQ.
As a pet bird, the existence of Mr. QQ is no secret. As long as it doesn't speak in front of others, no one will be curious about what pets the Duke has.
Just now, QQ has been in the study, but people who see it will only regard it as a strange looking bird.
"What did you say?"
"Do you really do that?" QQ voice with worry: "treason?"
"Do you think I will?" Dewey smiles.
QQ thought for a moment: "I think you are blackmailing that poor old guy. You won't let anyone go until you get the ransom. "
"No, you are wrong this time, my Mr. beast. If I get the ransom, I will release people." Du Wei laughs very uncanny: "I will give a 'King' to the United Kingdom."
Then he asked QQ: "I heard that... In the dark magic of the dead, there is a kind of magic that can control the soul. I happen to have a little research on this recently." QQ was frightened by Du Wei's words. Its small eyes looked at Du Wei. After a while, it sighed: "you are a little devil."“ From your point of view, it seems that you are not qualified to judge me like this. " Duwei took a look at QQ: "don't forget, your former master's power also comes from the devil."“ So, would you really... Punish those poor girls? " QQ shakes his head: "it's too impolite to be so cruel to girls... Besides, don't you think it's so cruel?"“ So what do you think I should do? Democracy? Oh, that bastard of Aragon must have mentioned this word to you? Don't be kidding, my Mr. QQ Dewey said coldly, "open the window and have a look at the busy slaves and servants outside... This is an empire! As a leader, if you can't manage the people below well, but want to play with demeanor, equality, democracy... Then you don't even know how to die in the future! You can call me cruel, you can call me autocratic... But if you want to survive in this world, you have to. " Du Wei said, summed up a sentence: "you have not seen the coup, the families of those fallen aristocrats, how to be sold as slaves, right? Those noble ladies and ladies who were still high a few days ago became slaves overnight and were even sold to brothels. Any man can vent his desire on them for only a few silver coins! This is the world... "With that, Dewey turned and went out. QQ was quiet in the study for a long time. Then it sighed and said to itself, "no wonder... The master of Aragon said that he can end everything..."
