I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 369

Latest website: Although the young knight expressed his doubts about the final answer with his eyes, Anson really felt so from his heart.

From the trenches of Hantu to the Supreme Council outside Beluga Harbor, his attitude towards the people around him has always been sincere, and he never wanted to take the initiative to deceive or harm any friends or companions—at least not subjectively.

In addition to the important reason that even betrayal can't do any good, Anson blamed it more on his own character. He has too much attributes as a writer, and everyone looks like a party, and everything he does seems to be a project. Rolled from a small army captain to a brigadier general.

To my collaborators, I fulfilled every promise; to my allies, I never betrayed me easily, and to my superiors, I did my best to satisfy their completely unrealistic orders... Isn't that enough?

At least Anson thinks it must be enough, Clovis, Franz, Rune...even the beloved mentor Mace Hornard, he is loyal.

Those who feel betrayed should clearly reflect on themselves first, and don't take the loyalty of others for granted; there is no love and hatred for no reason in this world, and there is no loyalty without a price.

And a qualified loyal minister should not blindly remain loyal, not only must have a firm heart, but also must have a non-rigid and flexible bottom line, and be good at making suitable changes at the right time and place to ensure that under all circumstances Still loyal, always loyal, always loyal.

Loyalty cannot be regarded as a commitment, it should be more like a criterion or creed, or even a cause; only in this way can we be unswervingly a loyal minister who has no risk of "betrayal" and is always qualified!

This is like right now, although it seems that he betrayed the Franz Family and Clovis, in fact, on the premise of preserving his loyalty to the Rune Family, he continues to faithfully defend the interests of the Kingdom and the Franz Family; Betray any party of your allegiance and officially qualify the fine style of loyal ministers.

Of course, the eyes of the world who criticize and do not understand are inevitable after all; when he thinks that he will most likely be misunderstood and slandered, even if he clearly knows that he is correct, An Sen can't help but drip a few drops of loyalty from the corner of his mouth. tears.

It can only be said that this is probably the price one has to pay for being a loyal minister...

An Sen, who was very emotional, showed a bitter smile. The door facing his back was suddenly opened, and a beautiful shadow silently appeared behind him.

"Good morning, Lord Anson."

In the silent corridor, Paulina Frey said in a slightly cheerful tone, "Are you thinking of something happy?"

"No, I just couldn't help recalling the past." Turning around unhurriedly, An Sen pretended to be indifferent:

"Are you ready to start?"

"It can be anytime, so it's mostly up to you."

The girl deliberately didn't answer directly, and looked eagerly at the figure in front of her that always made her feel stalwart; for this moment, she was specially dressed up, and even put on a blood-red imperial dress similar to Talia's style at all costs. .

It's just that although they are both petite, looking in the mirror, she always feels that there is still some indescribable, indescribable gap between herself and that Miss Rune.

Is it because of the color of the pupils, the hairstyle, or...the curvature of the lips when you smile? Paulina cried quite a bit.

"I'm ready." Anson nodded lightly and made a "please" gesture to the girl:

"I also trouble the honorable Madam President of the Supreme Council to guide me as a 'newcomer'."

"Of course, no problem."

The girl came back to her senses instantly and raised her elegant chin:

"Let the colleagues of the Free Confederation forget the past Commander-in-Chief Clovis and welcome our new companions. The Ice Dragon Fjord Colony..."

"Your Excellency the Governor!"

"Ah!"

Gently covering her slightly drunk cheeks with a handkerchief, Sophia, who was sitting at the dining table, put her legs together subconsciously, and her smart eyes quickly swept across the faces of everyone around her; after confirming that no one was staring at her with strange eyes , only slightly loosened that tense heartstring.

This is a dinner event within a nature seminar, and all the participants are senior members of the club: famous wealthy family members of Clovis City, big industrialists, northern mine owners, famous bankers, members of the railway committee, and president of the Chamber of Commerce. principal……

In the name of "amateur scientists", they "explore the latest discoveries in geography and astronomy", squander more research funds than the most famous universities, and organize various "friendships", "socialization", "hunting", Activities such as "lectures" actually communicate with each other privately and exchange the latest information, and control the steel and coal resource trade network in the northern part of the Old Continent.

As a "newcomer" in this club and salon, Sophia has always paid great attention to maintaining her image, especially after becoming the Governor of Ice Dragon Fjord, she tried to make herself look like a young man who is intelligent, studious, loves imperial culture, and is full of intellectual beauty. female.

If it is too strong, it will be easily alienated by most people; if it is too simple, it will be regarded as a decoration that does not need to be paid attention to... How to balance the two, Sophia, who is keen on detectives, can understand.

In this kind of salon party, his words and deeds have some meaning in the eyes of everyone - even if it is really just an accident.

"The weather seems to have turned colder recently."

Sure enough... Just as the girl was relieved, Mrs. Katarina, who was sitting next to her, looked back and chuckled: "It's strange, the temperature has been rising for the past few years, is it going to start to fall this year?"

"It's a possibility, and in fact I've seen in Geographical Overview about a concept called 'constant temperature', which is exactly what you're saying."

For this lady in charge of the railway committee who is also close to her father, Sophia did not dare to neglect her wine glass.

"Of course, it may also be because of the war that the factories in the outer city are spewing smoke day and night, and it is really rare for our dear Clovis to see the sun once~"

This little joke immediately aroused the agreement of the crowd around the table, and by the way, it strengthened Sophia's "smart and innocent" personality.

Valley Eunuch

"I do not think so!"

Just as this little episode was about to end in humorous laughter, a very abrupt voice suddenly interjected.

Sophia, whose face was a little stiff, held a wine glass and followed everyone to turn her eyes to stand up, and instantly became the focus of everyone, Philip Roland, the chairman of the Northern Border Chamber of Commerce.

The famous big money lord, and a strong contender for the next generation of the Roland family, held his head high, making his knightly attire look very straight: "Science shows that changes in temperature are likely to be closely related to recent astronomical movements. !"

"Oh?"

Sophia blinked her eyes as if she could talk, and asked slightly flatteringly, "Could it be that the research institutes and scholars funded by the Roland family have made new discoveries recently?"

"Discovered? Yes, but this is the result of my own research!" Philip gestured proudly, showing his wisdom in front of the girl, which gave him a great sense of achievement:

"We all know that the world created by the Ring of Order is a huge plane, and it lifts up the land with supreme divine power, making the sun, moon and countless stars rotate in orbit above the world according to a certain law."

"And according to what I have found, this rule has been deviated to some extent in the past few years; the rules set by the ring of order have been broken by some force!"

Philip's expression suddenly became serious, and the deliberate pause and aggravated tone made the atmosphere around the dining table a lot depressing, and also aroused everyone's expectations:

"According to my naked eye observations over the past few years, the morning sun at this time every year...is a little bit bigger than the previous year!"

The whole place was silent.

The people who were originally full of expectations looked at each other, pursed their mouths tightly, and their expectant eyes were replaced by some kind of weird emotion.

But the heirs of the Roland family didn't seem to notice this change at all, and still stood there and continued to talk:

"But just this year, the size of the sun seems to have returned to about the size of the ninety-fifth year of the saint's calendar; with such a large drop, it is no wonder that Miss Sophia feels the weather is a little colder."

After expressing his opinion triumphantly, Philip sat back in his seat in high spirits, looking back and forth at the stunned crowd, as if he was expecting something.

Half a minute passed, Sophia, who was desperately restraining the twitching corners of her mouth, raised her glass tremblingly, and then:

"Blessed by the Ring of Order!"

As soon as the words fell, the people who had also endured for a long time suddenly felt amnesty, and they also raised their wine glasses to thank the Ring of Order for the grace of not killing.

Even if she didn't take a serious count, the girl could feel that she had received at least seven or eight pairs of grateful eyes at this moment... It was very helpful for her to gain a firm foothold in the club.

"Speaking of the weather getting colder, there seems to be a lot of changes in the north of the raging sea recently."

Taking advantage of the girl to ease everyone's embarrassment, Mrs. Katarina also took the opportunity to change the topic: "Although Nakhir in the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea has not stopped the civil war, the rebels entrenched in the capital Nakhir Port have been attacked. Retire, the number of rebel nobles who have been killed has reached three figures, it seems that His Majesty Helvig does not intend to spare his disloyal ministers lightly this time."

"At the same time, due to the holy war, Clovis was also forced to suspend trade with the New World, resulting in an unusually depressed North Port this year, and the prices of steel and coal have also risen a lot; It's not good news in terms of it."

"It's the same for other trades." Philip, the chairman of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, interjected again, and said:

"Edland, as well as most of the major commercial cities in the north of the entire empire, are almost all dependent on maritime trade to varying degrees; now because of the imminent jihad, all ports have been forced to implement a sea ban policy, which has suffered heavy losses."

"Not only that, at the end of last year, our Roland family also invested a full 800,000 gold coins in Beluga Port! When the war officially begins, let alone profit, it may be impossible to recover these costs!"

When the words fell, Philip couldn't help sighing, but his expression was not very sad, and even a little bit of joy.

Although he decided to make this investment because of Sophia's previous "temptation", he realized the huge risk early and did not personally get involved, but handed it over to his younger brother Reinhard, who was later in the line of succession; this would be considered an investment. Failure was also Reinhard's fault, and had nothing to do with him.

It would be even better if he could also take the opportunity to eliminate a potential opponent in the line of succession.

"Yes!"

Madam Katarina seemed to have suddenly realized something, and raised her voice: "The Roland family has strongly sponsored the development of the Beluga Harbor Colony, and Miss Sophia is the Governor of the Ice Dragon Fjord Colony, the two must be better informed than the rest of us, right?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.

"Uh... Indeed, there is indeed some information!"

Philip, who was "all in the limelight" again, replied in a panic, and coughed a few times forcefully: "According to the last news from the members of the Roland family in Port Naxil, Reinhard Roland not long ago It also represents a huge transaction between the Ice Dragon Fjord and the Kingdom of Nakhir."

"It is said that the amount of the advance payment alone exceeded the cash reserves of the numerous chambers of commerce in the port of Nakhir, and had to pay with the sugar that filled the entire warehouse of a three-masted sailing ship, plus the salt of two ships!"

"That's right~www.mtlnovel.com~ The wealth and potential of the new world is so great!"

Before she finished speaking, Sophia immediately continued; she had already seen Madam Katarina's intention, hoping that she could stabilize the confidence of everyone present and avoid the complete collapse of the steel and coal trade that had just suffered huge losses: "The most important thing is , The Storm Legion and Anson Bach stationed there are the most loyal subjects of Clovis and the royal family!"

"Without getting the help of a single soldier from the native country, they not only defended the colony, but even attacked the imperial army with more than twice their own strength. Bach also became one of the youngest generals in history!"

"With them here, I can guarantee that there will be no problems in the Ice Dragon Fjord Colony, and it will surely be able to wait for the arrival of the jihadist army and become a bridgehead to completely eliminate heresy; the jihad across the two worlds will end before the end of the year, peace and prosperity. It will once again become the main theme of the turbulent sea."

"The Crusaders plus the Stormtroopers, hum... maybe they'll just go for a walk in the snow outside the New World and the war will be over."
