Chapter 429

The soft sigh tightened Victor's scalp. He avoided Sylvia's sad eyes and said as if nothing had happened: "Randall's financial situation has improved, so I can maintain thousands of mercenaries. It can be said that I support the standing defense force of the southern fortress. The York family also benefits from it. I don't have credit for the materials I purchase in Jinshui city."

Sylvia turned her anger into joy and smiled, "honey, go on."

"Everyone benefited from my secret business. Together, we gradually formed a force. I call it the golden regiment."

Victor continued: "I can't stop trying to grow the gold regiment. Just like Baron garrot, he has changed from a poor Lord to a rich Lord. He has the ability to purchase refined gold, trade with my caravan and put forward more requirements. If I want to get refined gold, I must try to satisfy his appetite. Mountain people, black goods traders and village heads responsible for covering goods all want more... The gold regiment has developed to Today, even if I let go, others will continue to do it! "

"Honey, do you want me to let go?" Victor whispered with a smile.

"How is that possible?" Sylvia shook her head and suddenly asked, "does Nicole know about the golden regiment?"

This time, she's serious.

Victor conceals the golden regiment, Sylvia can be used as a little surprise between lovers. Nicole, as her confidant Lord, has a serious problem of not reporting.

"Nicole? Nicole is only responsible for spending money. She just asked me how my money came from." Said Victor quickly.

Sylvia smiled without hesitation and said, "she's like trisley."

Trisley is like you... Victor whispered in his heart and continued: "Compared with the actual value of this trade channel, earning wealth is no longer the most important purpose, and the key is to exchange what we need. The four leaf clover business group sells refined gold to Renma hill. The price is extremely high, not to mention the trade quota. Yuanbao can ask Sophia to reduce or terminate the refined gold trade of Renma hill at any time. The gold group can help us get rid of this restriction." Speaking of this, he turned his voice, shook his head and said, "unfortunately, the development of the golden group has encountered a bottleneck... It needs a more suitable leader."

"How about I give you the golden ball?" Victor said to his wife sincerely with a smile.

Sophia looked at Victor's handsome face, fainted slightly, and asked with surprise and joy, "give it to me? Are you sure you want to give me your hard work?"

Victor smiled but said nothing, just nodded.

Sophia thought for a moment, shook her head and sighed, "I see... This is the retreat you arranged for me... You don't want me anymore."

“......” Victor's wise and affectionate man collapsed in an instant and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Sophia puffed a smile and said happily, "tease you. Give me the gold ball. I promise you won't be disappointed!"

Sylvia stroked her glass, leaned back against her chair and asked lazily, "what are you going to do?"

"Neutral!" Sophia smiled and said confidently: "The reason why the golden group can't develop is that Victor can't maintain a neutral position. The bucks business group is about to collapse, but also because the shining Knights doubt my neutral position. Victor said that the key to my break is the unfaithfulness of the bucks business group. In fact, they are really neutral. So the bucks business group has changed many owners and names, but that The gang has been handed down from generation to generation and has never changed. In that case, I can give up the name of Wimbledon chamber of Commerce and turn them from light to dark to expand the golden group. " She added: "if necessary, I can give up the Marquis of Wimbledon..."

"To give up the chamber of commerce is the right choice. To give up the Marquis... Then I can only give up you." Sylvia shook her head and asked, "as Viscount Randall, who would believe that you are neutral?"

"But the golden group is a black market merchant..."

Sylvia looked disdainful and smiled, "black market businessman? If Victor is satisfied with black market trade, he won't give you the gold league."

"I'm not proficient in business, but I know politics." Sylvia said calmly, "Clement's holy see is really neutral. Victor spared no effort to develop the public carriage, which was difficult for me at first. Now I understand that he is planning for the golden regiment."

Sophia had a flash in her mind and then said: "The freight volume of the secret trade route is too small. You plan to use public carriages to solve the transportation problem. In order to please the priests of the territory, free people businessmen would rather lose money than rent carriages. Public carriages can carry goods for a short distance. Because of the protection of the church, the Lord can only acquiesce in the stop loss measures of free people traders. As long as you hold the public carriages of the two territories in your hands and buy some more If the village head gives cover, the goods can be transported out. The Lord will secretly support the behavior of free people and businessmen. "

"Victor, you are really a genius." Sophia sighed heartily, "I know what to do next."

Genius? Just picking up people's wisdom. The wisdom of these two women is amazing... Well, smart and beautiful women who also know how to pretend to be silly are particularly cute.

Victor looked at Sylvia with a smile and said, "in addition to channels, there must be a market. The gold regiment must win over some big Lords. Each kingdom must have a strong ally to support the gold regiment. The joint-stock system can help us achieve this goal. Sophia, you have a wide range of contacts and can choose the partners of the gold regiment, but not the royal family and its vassals."

"At present... It's a little difficult." Sophia frowned her slender eyebrows and said with high morale, "I will overcome difficulties."

Sylvia remained silent for a moment and said with emotion, "Sophia, you are tenacious and unyielding and draw strength from the struggle. I think it's a mistake to leave you in the human horse hills."

Sophia smiled, took Victor's hand and said softly, "if this road doesn't work, I have another road. But with your support, I won't fail."

"This is a trap... Let's not talk about this first." Sylvia shook her head and asked, "how much do you know about the masked brotherhood?"

Victor cocked up his ears and listened to Sophia say, "the masked brotherhood? All the villains in the Borui kingdom are called the masked brotherhood, including the thieves' gang in the east of the SUS Kingdom and the mercenary regiment of the eastern alliance. The brotherhood is actually a loose alliance formed by the gangs supported by the Eastern lords and the clergy, which is responsible for controlling the free civilian villages of the eastern alliance."

Victor was shocked and pretended to be curious and asked, "is there church support behind the masked brotherhood? Is it the power of the church?"

"Mainly the magistrates... And some priests from monasteries." Sophia explained: "The eastern alliance has a vast area and barren land. Most areas are covered with poisonous devil grass and can't grow any crops. Those large and small refugee gathering places have become hotbeds for witches. The referee supports the masked brotherhood mainly to collect information about witches. The mercenaries of the masked brotherhood are basically armed forces supported by the referee and monastery priests."

Sylvia asked casually, "honey, do you have any questions?"

Victor restrained his thoughts, shook his head and said, "nothing... No wonder the masked brotherhood can make my people suffer in Dengshi city."

Sylvia asked again, "the deweimick family in Dengshi is your chosen partner? How did you intend to convince them?"

"Hit him in the face and talk about cooperation when he is swollen."

Victor said with a light smile, "the Sheriff of Dengshi City openly covered up the masked brotherhood and killed many of my people. I'm going to encourage the bucks business group to lure and kill him and plant it for the masked brotherhood. First destroy the cooperative relationship between Dengshi city and the Borui people, and then negotiate with the Marquis de wemik."

"If he doesn't cooperate, kill a few more sheriffs." Victor's tone became fierce. Mercury's hard-working backbone was folded in the hands of Dengshi City, which made him angry.

"What a mess." Sophia shook her head and said, "do you really think the deweimick family is a soft persimmon? They have five great knights, more than 20 knights and more than 200 trainee knights. The Marquis of deweimick glanced at the management of Dengshi city and the iron bucket, with the support of the Dodo royal family behind it. I absolutely don't want to fight him."

"It's really a mess." Sylvia's jaw said, "there's only one chance to do it. Once you have to beat dweimick down... What's the use of luring and killing a harmless Sheriff?"

Sylvia took a sip of spicy ale, lifted her red lips and said faintly, "then kill count Hora Ludwig, the special envoy of the Dodo royal family, in the territory of dwemik."

Hora and Victor had a conflict at the blue amber Hotel, but the small contradiction between the two sides was not enough to meet each other. Moreover, Ludwig softened in public and compensated Victor a large sum of money.

Victor won face and benefits. He really can't find a reason to hate each other. Most importantly, Victor doesn't like unnecessary killing.

There are many ways to solve problems. Violence may be the simplest and most direct way. But solving problems with violence is close to the bottom line of civilization and barbarism. Places outside the law, such as mountains, forests, grasslands and wilderness, adhere to the law of the dark forest, and no one can be blamed for using any means to protect himself. However, the upper class society has formed a fixed moral concept and etiquette to solve disputes, This symbiotic social rule protects everyone.

In other words, civilized people abide by social rules in order to protect themselves.

You are not necessarily the strongest one. Even if you are the strongest, you can't be strong forever.

As a transgressor from a highly civilized society, Victor always adheres to the bottom limit of civilization - within the rules, and does not abuse violence.

This is not weakness and pedantry, but the necessary faith of the strong.

Fear power to control power, or power will devour you.

The fall and destruction of the chosen one is the most striking example.

When Austin of the Buryat family kills the guard of Randall's family, Victor can take revenge. The Sheriff of Dengshi interferes in the struggle between mercury and mask, and kills the spy of Randall's family, Victor can let him die. Count Hora has settled the dispute between the two sides, and Victor does not intend to break through his own limit.

"I need a reason." Victor looked at Sylvia and said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Sylvia looked at her particularly serious lover in surprise and asked with a smile, "count Ludwig offended the companion of the divine knight. He also tried to seduce Viscount Randall's wife. Are these two reasons enough?"

"Not enough." Victor shook his head and said, "he has paid a ransom of 50000 Saul."

Sylvia knocked on the table and said, "kill Ludwig, and the Marquis de Wemmick will become a supporter of the golden regiment."

Victor thought about it and shook his head. "We haven't tried many methods... I can't agree."

"Honey, you're good." Sylvia smiled in appreciation, then grew up, stared into Victor's eyes and said softly, "kill Hora and save Sophia, otherwise she won't live to be 70."

Victor looked at Sophia in amazement, nodded and said, "that's enough reason."
