1348: People who can’t be offended. (2 more)

Salon City, inside the palace.

tata tao~

Mette strode into the main hall, still holding a piece of red cardboard in her hand.

He entered the main hall and saw that his father and the Marquis of Burren were talking.

The king said earnestly: “Burren, if you can pay ten times more in taxes every year, I will raise your title and make you a duke.

“Your Majesty, ten times is too much.” Burren said with a sullen face.

Although he really wanted to be a duke, if he paid ten times more taxes, his life would not be as happy as when he was a marquis.

“Think about it. The king said solemnly.

Now that the country’s income is getting less and less, it can only find a way to add more taxes from the nobles.

In addition, he has spent a lot of money recently, and it is because the things in Black Tortoise City are so good that they can’t hold back once they buy them.

Yes.” Burren nodded.

.

In his opinion, the king is not discussing with him, but giving orders. The duke title sounds beautiful, but it is actually a hot potato.

He heard footsteps and looked up and saw Mette.

“Second Prince has come down, I’ll go first.” Burren quickly stood up and said.

Wang glanced at Mette and said indifferently to Burren: “Well, go and think about it, and give me an answer tomorrow.

“Yes.” Burren’s face froze, and he stepped out with a sigh.

When passing by Mette, he nodded saluting perfunctorily, and then left the main hall.

Mette stepped forward and asked with a frown, “Father wants to promote Burren to Duke?”

“Well, there is this plan.” The king lowered his eyes and nodded.

Mette looked at his father and said, “He didn’t make great contributions to the Haiding Kingdom, so he was promoted to duke like this, the people would be dissatisfied. 33

“It doesn’t matter. The king shook his head.

He changed the subject and asked, “What’s the matter with you?

Mette opened her mouth and sighed in her heart, not continuing to ask about the title.

He stretched out his hand and handed out the red invitation, explaining: “There is an invitation from Black Tortoise City.

“Invitation post?” The king took the invitation post suspiciously and opened it to examine the contents.

He softly read out the content of the invitation post: “I sincerely invite you to participate in the auction in half a month…||..

As he read, his eyes widened, and the waist that had been leaning against the back of the chair suddenly straightened up.

The king said in shock: “Attack-type and defense-type advanced magic tools, magic stones, potions,

“Is father going? Mette asked.

Wang Yan was hot, and nodded: “Of course, so many good things must be photographed and detoured.

Mette nodded lightly and sighed: “I didn’t expect that Black Tortoise City would take the magic stone and put it up for auction.

The king put down the invitation letter and leaned back: “Yes, the magic stone is so rare that the city of Black Tortoise is willing to auction it.

As the king of Haiding Kingdom, there is only one magic stone, which shows how rare it is.

Mette’s eyes flashed, and she whispered: “This magic stone, the Wizards Association should not let it go.”

“Naturally.” The king’s eyes flickered.

The Association of Magicians used the magic stone to help people test their spirituality, and then took this opportunity to find good seedlings and continue to strengthen themselves.

For the Society of Magicians, the more Sorcerer’s Stones, the better.

Mette said with a serious face: “Father, I also heard another piece of news. The invitation was not only sent to our Haiding Kingdom, but also to several other surrounding kingdoms.”

“Really?” The king looked serious.

“Yes.” Mette’s expression became serious.

“Then this auction will be very intense.” The king snorted coldly, his fingers rhythmically rhythmically tapped the armrest of the seat.

He knew the surrounding kingdoms, they were very interested in high-level magic tools, and he could foresee how fierce the competition would be when the auction started.

Mette said solemnly: “We can only prepare more gold coins and monster crystals.

“Then raise the tax,” the king said lightly.

“Father, this will lose people’s hearts.” Mette said in shock.

“How come.” The king said indifferently.

Mette said with a serious face: “Father, if you raise the tax amount, those civilians will definitely be dissatisfied, and they will rise up to make trouble… This is not an exception, it is recorded in the book.

The king’s eyes flickered slightly, he pondered for a long time, then raised his eyes and said, “Let’s talk about it then.

“Father, there must be no tax increase.” Mette pleaded.

The king glanced at Mette and said calmly: “When you take my seat, you will understand my plan.”

Mette lowered her head and said in a serious tone: “Father is joking, you can still manage the Haiding Kingdom for more than a hundred years.”

The king waved his hand and sighed: “No, I am also Zheng Xiao. When you and Kempins are more stable, it is time to consider passing the throne. 22

“Father!” Mette raised her head sharply.

“I’m fine.” The king smiled lightly.

Mette wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the informant.

tata tao~~

The knight in person walked into the main hall and said respectfully: “Your Majesty, Yue is afraid that the great magician will ask to see you.”

“Let her in.” The king said calmly.

“Yes.” The knight of the guard turned and left.

After a while, Yue Qinyi walked into the main hall and bowed slightly to the king and Mette.

The king asked calmly, “Yueyi, what’s the matter?”

“Your Majesty, I want to leave Haiting Kingdom.” Yue Qinyi said in a serious tone.

“Why?” The king frowned slightly and sat up slowly.

Yue Qinyi explained: “I have a lot of things to do and can’t stay here any longer.”

After reading all the books in the library, she no longer has much interest in staying in the palace, she still has one person in her heart, and she can’t stay any longer.

The king asked in a deep voice, “What is it that makes you have to leave now?

“Sorry, this is a private matter and cannot be told to Your Majesty.” Yue Qinyi said coldly.

She heard the meaning of the king’s words, which was to remind her that the time she had served for the royal family had not yet passed, and that leaving now would be a breach of her promise.

The king said in a flat tone: “If that’s the case, then you can’t go. 19

Yue Qinyi frowned and asked in a cold voice, “Your Majesty, how can I let me go?

The king said indifferently: “Give me a reason to ask.

“I…” Yue Qinyi fell silent.

“If your majesty wants a reason, you can come to Black Tortoise City and ask for it from our Lord of the City. A charming voice sounded out of thin air.

wow~~~

Huxi is wearing (Qian Qian’s) ghost armor, holding his arms and hooking now beside Yue Qinyi.

“Who are you?” Mette’s expression became serious, and she was astonished. How did this person find out?

Wang Sheng stood up with a sigh, and asked coldly, “You just said Black Tortoise City Lord?”

Huxi said crisply: “Yes, Your Excellency Yueyi is a friend of our city lord, and now I want to invite her to catch up.

She has stayed in the palace these days, one is to keep an eye on the royal family, and the other is to be ready to take Yue Qinyi away at any time.

Yue Qinyi opened her mouth, still not understanding what happened.

Huxi grabbed Yue Qinyi’s hand and said playfully: “Goodbye”, if you have any opinions, remember to come to Black Tortoise City to find our city lord.

Her voice fell, and before the king and Mette could react, the person had disappeared in the main hall.

“Damn it, the king’s face darkened, but he finally let out a long sigh.

The Lord of Black Tortoise is someone he can’t afford to offend, and he’s also someone he doesn’t dare to offend.
