My players are so fierce.

Chapter 393 392. Brother Yudi personally brought the goods, why don’t you hurry up and play?
In the Blood Eagle Corridor at dawn, Earl Baishan, holding a book of poetry in his hand, sat in his luxurious chair. His signature mature, side-parted blond hair was meticulously combed, which has become his most distinctive symbol in the eyes of players.

Some people call him "Brother Pianfen" on the forum, some call him "Brother Melancholy", and some call him "The Second Handsome Guy in the Blood Vulture Corridor", but more people will call Earl Baishan "Golden Retriever".

This title is full of simple and crude beauty, and together with Maxim's "white hair" and Dorothy's "red hair", it forms a quite unique "color group NPC".

But in fact, even the first batch of veteran players did not have a deep understanding of Earl of White Mountain.

On the one hand, although Andre has a "gentleman's agreement" with Murphy and has been helping Transia stabilize the political situation, his introverted and conservative style makes him unwilling to show up, so he deals with players in the White Mountain faction rebuilt in Transia. All matters are handled by the loyal servant Vesta.

On the other hand, due to some political factors and Andre's unique identity, he has developed the habit of not liking to have contact with too many people since he was a child. To put it simply, this guy is an otaku and an incorrigible one. otaku.

This habit of his not only comes from his personality, but also because he has an important creed in his life, that is, he cannot steal the limelight from his sister.

The Yankees also have a tradition of favoring boys over girls.

Especially in matters concerning the succession of the kingdom, a cowardly prince has an advantage over an outstanding princess.

But Andrei has been following his sister everywhere since he was a child. He has no intention of taking away what his sister has and even gives it up voluntarily.

After arriving in Transia, being away from the politics of North Wind Castle and the Principality of Thorns allowed Andre to relax a little. For example, now, when Huo Zheng is very good and Xiao Fu Ge requested to visit the Earl of White Mountain through Murphy's relationship. The answer was quickly received.

Under the "escort" of two Thorn Nightwalker maids, they entered the Earl of White Mountain's large room in the "diplomatic area" of the Blood Vulture Corridor, and were allowed to tell the melancholy young Earl their thoughts. .

"So, what you are saying is that you want me to invest in the casino you are about to open in Farm No. [-] as an 'investor'?"

Andre frowned almost the whole time as he listened to the very good description.

He is not stupid.

He can completely understand what these two little players want to do, but this is exactly Andre's "taboo". It is not that he cannot use the influence of the royal family, but using his own influence to make money is undoubtedly a good thing for him. His sister’s reputation was “smeared”.

The most important thing is that the casino these two guys want to open only serves foreigners. Isn't this a disguised way of cutting off the Nords' leeks?
He is a member of the Nordic royal family and the only brother and relative of the current queen. It is fine if he does not help his country make money. How can he help outsiders cut his own leeks?

So Count Andrei put down the poetry collection in his hand with a straight face, and he refused gently but firmly:
"No, I cannot agree to this request, not just for personal reasons. As a member of the royal family, I have the responsibility to maintain the dignity of the country and family at all times.

I believe that my ancestor Shani would not allow me to do such a thing.

Please come back, you two. "

Little Rich Brother's face suddenly fell.

He knew that things would not go so smoothly, but he had been a leader in the business world for many years. He observed Count Andre calmly.

Although the other party has refused, he knows that there is still a chance of improvement.

I just need to take a little risk
If he didn't do it right, he would probably die here, even though it would only be three days.

"Please give me a little more time, Your Majesty."

Lao Huo coughed and said seriously:
“I have just explained our request to you through the business model, but I have not analyzed for you the benefits that joining this business will bring to you from your perspective.

I know you think it's unseemly for you as a member of the royal family to get involved in business that targets your own people, but you need to be aware of the harsh reality.

Your faction has just been rebuilt.

In the absence of material support from your family, you and your servants will need to find ways to raise money to develop your own power.

I know you have great powers.

But I also believe that this is an area that you have never set foot in, having lived your whole life without worrying about food and clothing.”

"I have Vesta to help me."

Earl Baishan did not deny Lao Huo's description. He said indifferently:
"My loyal servant is a very good property manager and businessman"

"But you may not know that Lord Vesta yesterday invested a large amount of money in the dock that the Torrent Knights are planning to build near the Under Armor Hills."

Lao Huo showed a subtle smile and said:
"I know this is a good investment. If you zoom out to three to five years, it can bring you at least three times the income. However, the problem is that the time is wrong!
The black disaster is coming, and we may not survive until three years later. It is undoubtedly inappropriate to pursue long-term interests under such circumstances.

I'm not accusing Lord Vesta of having problems with his business strategy, I'm just saying that he is not very good at getting you enough funds to support the rapid development of the White Mountain Faction in the short term.

But I can!

One month!

A month and a half at most.

Your investment will see returns, you and your servants will no longer have to worry about supplies and funds, and your faction will develop rapidly and powerfully!

No matter what you want to do then, your minions will have enough strength and numbers to achieve your goals. "

These words did not change Earl Baishan's mind. He still refused:
"What you said makes sense, but I don't intend to change my decision. My faction has no financial problems at the moment, so."

“You want to prove your worth!”

At this moment, Lao Huo interrupted Earl Baishan rudely. He pointed directly to the core of the problem and said:
"I have seen the scene of you fighting to the death with Korando in the sewers. I have heard about you returning your trophies to Beifong Castle. There is no doubt that you are like a man who is eager to prove to your relatives that you have grown up. children.

It's rude to say this, but Your Majesty, if you want your sister to see your growth, then spending all her money all the time doesn't seem like a good way to prove that you've grown up. "

"Shut up!"

"rude!"

The expressions of the two Thorny Nightcrawler maids suddenly changed. Little Rich Man didn't see their movements clearly before he was pressed against his neck by a sharp claw blade, and the same was true for Lao Huo.

The two Yankee vampire sisters wearing stage masks had frosty faces. All they needed was an order from the Earl of White Mountain, and these two rude people would die here.

However, neither Xiao Fu Ge nor Lao Huo showed any fear.

On the one hand, it's because they are not afraid of death at all. Little Rich Brother enthusiastically reached out to touch the unique assassination claw blade, treating everything in front of him as a cool "cut scene".

On the other hand, Count Andre seemed really irritated by Lao Huo, but he quickly calmed down.

"boom"

The Earl's favorite poetry collection was placed heavily on the table. A trace of anger appeared on Andre's handsome face, but he took a deep breath and waved his hand to let the two maids retreat.

He stared closely at the work and said coldly:

"Keep talking, and if you talk well, you and your partner can get out alive."

"I don't think we are going to die today. In fact, I think the two of us can do a big business today."

Lao Huo became more and more confident.

He knew that he had made the right bet. On the way here, he had been asking Little Rich Brother for information about the young earl, and even sent a private message to Sister Pomegranate.

Because the latter wants to learn the assassination technique of the Thorn Nightcrawler, he is the first player among the current players to brush up the reputation of the Thorn Clan to the level of respect.

She knows much more about Earl Baishan than ordinary players, and it is from Sister Pomegranate's description of the gossip that she really captures what Earl Andre wants most.

For a shrewd businessman, expensive gifts given out casually are never as good as carefully prepared ones. After all, gift-giving requires a lot of knowledge.

Facing the count with evil eyes, he stretched out his hand to push away the claw blade on his neck and straightened the dress he bought at Mrs. Shui's tailor shop. He said in a low voice:
“Without financial independence, there is no personal independence. This is something that even a teenager in our world understands, but I regret to find that you don’t seem to understand.

You enjoy the wealth your sister has shared with you with peace of mind.Maybe it's because your sister appreciates the sacrifices you've made for her, but that's no reason to ignore the source of all your wealth.

As long as you spend Her Majesty the Wolf Lady's money, in her eyes, you will always be a little brother who needs her care.

In the same way, as long as you still expect material and human support from the Thorn Clan, in the eyes of Grand Duke Shani, you will always be just a toddler.

You have personally participated in the deadly battle between the Blood Vulture Clan and the Wolfsbane Clan in the sewers, but I think you still don’t understand why Lord Murphy and Miss Femis are unwilling to let Grand Duke Tris intervene in the war despite risking their own lives. .

That's not just for the face of the Blood Eagle Clan!

That still showed the Grand Duke that they were no longer children who needed the care of their elders. They could already fly under this dangerous night sky on their own.

But what about you?
Your Excellency, I would like to ask you to think carefully. If the support of Her Majesty the Wolf Lady and Grand Duke Shani is cut off immediately, what will be the situation of you and your faction in Transia?
I learned from Brother Zhong that your sister specially assigned you 100 palace sword guards to reward your growth. Alas, I want to ask you.

What kind of relationship do you think warrants the use of the word 'reward'?What kind of relationship can have this kind of interaction between elders and younger generations?

You have been longing to grow and mature, but you cannot escape the pursuit and enjoy the satisfaction brought by the compliments from those two ladies.

You are really conflicted, like a young man who doesn't understand what he wants and what means he wants to use to achieve it.

No, please don’t get me wrong!
I don't mean to despise you at all. I think you have done very well in your status and identity. At least I think it is impossible for others with your background to do better than you.

Yet if you want to truly talk to your sister and your elders as equals, you also need to be a little crueler to yourself.

after all"

Lao Huo secretly glanced at Earl Baishan's expression, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Whether you are following, getting close, or traveling with them, you must first let them admit that you are equal to them in terms of personality. Will you give your respect to a willful child who knows nothing?"

The atmosphere in the living room became quiet for a while.

If it weren't for the two cold-looking Nightwalker maids staring at their necks, Xiao Fu would have stood up and cheered loudly for his hair's wonderful persuasion at this moment.

Count Andrei was visibly shaken.

This is not to say that he is not a determined person, it is just because the words that "living is good" pierced his heart like a sharp knife.

Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharp knife!

There is nothing wrong with what they said.

He just never realized the source of the problem. Maybe Vesta could see it, but as a loyal servant, he obviously couldn't say it so directly. This was tantamount to driving a wedge between the earl and Her Majesty the Wolf Lady.

If Andre was satisfied with being a well-behaved and good brother, then Lao Huo's words would have no effect. However, Earl Baishan had his own pursuits, so Lao Huo's persuasion soon had a 200% or even 300% effect.

Andre closed his eyes and thought for no more than 20 seconds. He opened his eyes again and looked at Lao Huo. He said:
"So, step one."

"Economic independence!"

Life is quite good and he said softly:
"Only you who are not bound by the world can freely grow into the person you want to be, and I and my casino. Okay, I admit that this project is not high-end enough and does not suit your identity, but I promise , your first pot of gold will definitely be in front of you soon.

And as long as this casino continues to operate, your faction will no longer have financial problems.

With this foundation firmly in place, you can begin the next step of expanding your influence within your family and your country.

I am not advising you to rebel against your Majesty and your Grand Duke.

But please note that no one will care about the non-threatening bugs under their feet, and all emphasis must be from the perspective of strength. When you are prestigious enough, even Her Majesty the Wolf Lady will have to talk to you. Put away the contempt in her heart, and only when you are important enough in her heart."

He stopped talking until he clicked.

But Count Andrei felt at this moment that his most arrogant ambition hidden deep in his heart had been seen through by this weird trickster in front of him.

He is truly a cultist who plays with people's hearts!
Andre snorted in his heart. If it were in the past, the guy who dared to pry into his mind would definitely be killed, but it was different now.

After some experience in Transia, he felt that maybe he should accept some "correct" advice.

In order to get closer, sometimes you have to stay away first.

"You go back first."

Earl Baishan picked up his poetry collection again. He pretended to flip through it and said:

"I'll have an answer for you by midnight tomorrow."

"Okay, Your Highness, I wish you a good night."

Lao Huo pulled up the little rich man who wanted to continue watching the fun without any delay and turned around to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said:

"Your Excellency, your book has been knocked down!"

"Ok?"

Andre, who was deep in thought, immediately woke up and looked down. Sure enough, the collection of poems in his hand was upside down.

Damn!

I've made a fool of myself!
"Your Highness?"

The two Thorn Nightcrawler maids immediately came forward to ask for help. They were sure to kill these two guys before they escaped from the diplomatic area to prevent the nobleman's "dark history" from being leaked.

But Andre just waved his hand and asked the loyal maid to leave temporarily. He needed some time to think carefully about Huo Ling's suggestion.

This time he did not intend to discuss this topic with his loyal servant Vesta, because he suddenly realized that Vesta, who had been by his side, seemed to be sent here by his sister.

Although his loyalty to Vesta is absolutely assured, Andre's desire to change his image in his sister's mind starts with certain details.

Outside the diplomatic area, Lao Huo and Xiao Fu, who had run out all the way, were hiding in a corner, panting and looking scared.

To be honest, the two of them just got through that episode with a straight face.

No matter how good Andre is, he is still a guy who can compete with Murphy. With one order from him, the two young players will definitely be chopped into pieces.

A few seconds later, the two looked at each other, laughed, and high-fived each other as they did when they were children, celebrating the conclusion of the business deal today.

"That golden retriever is a bit strange."

On the way back, Little Rich Man rubbed his chin and said curiously:

"I feel like as soon as he talks about his sister, he suddenly becomes very strange."

"Is not this nonsensical?"

"It's very easy to live," he said with a sneer:

"That's a sister control!

The hopeless kind. What he wants is not to hide in his sister's shadow and serve her kingdom. Count Andrei wants more. He wants to monopolize everything about his sister.
What a crazy soul!

He will not allow others to get involved with Her Majesty the Wolf Lady. For this, he will pay everything he can, even asking for a loan from the devil without frowning.

With such a younger brother, Her Majesty the Wolf Lady will probably not have a smooth life in the future. "
