Chapter 236

Quietly sipping tea, oberli couldn't help looking at Donne.

After drinking the tea taken out by Donne, the black tea imported from the kingdom of saulant has no taste at all

Donne was speechless when he noticed o'brie's sight, but he took out a leaf of the world tree.

"Your Majesty Victor, this tea will be a gift for the first time."

Donne casually poured out the golden saulant Kingdom black tea in the teapot, then put the tea in, rubbed some water, poured it in and directly began to cook tea.

Victor's eyes jumped. As a forced king, basically all the money he made was posted to the army. He was reluctant to drink the black tea imported from the kingdom of solant. Donne poured it out so easily

He loves it

In other words, it's rare in the world to mix with a king as hard as he.

When Victor smelled the refreshing smell of tea, the tangle in his heart immediately disappeared. Just a wisp of tea leaked out had made him extremely intoxicated, and every inch of flesh and blood in his body was shaking with excitement.

"Father, I -- you!?"

Aurelia pushed the door in, but saw Donne standing there. She immediately stared at him and wanted to be angry with him. However, the next moment she controlled her emotions and showed a sweet smile: "isn't this Baron Donne? It's really rare."

"Good afternoon, Princess aurelia. You are still as beautiful as ever."

Donne put down the teapot, scratched his head and looked at Aurelia with a feeling of Indescribability.

Just at that moment, he seemed to feel very strong... Resentment?

"Thank Baron Donne for his praise."

Eh? Why does Princess Aurelia have the feeling that the seed coat laughs and the flesh doesn't laugh? Is she angry?

"Ollie."

Victor took a deep breath of the aroma: "go and get some good tea."

"Yes, father."

Aurelia stepped down very obediently.

"Baron Donne, I just wondered why you said this tea was a gift. Now I understand."

Victor stared at the teapot. "Can you tell me what this tea is?"

"Leaves, to be exact."

Donne smiled and said, "it's the leaves of the world tree."

"It's the leaves of the world tree!"

Victor was shocked. Obery and Adrian got up and were stunned.

"How did you get it!? wait! You had so many new moon wine before. Do you really have a deal with the elves!?"

"I think so."

Donne said with a little pride, "my wife is an elf."

[brazen!]

Nora, sitting on Donne's head watching the play, heard the speech and pulled Donne's hair hard: [I'm going to tell egwin!]

Good, don't make trouble

Donne comforted Nora silently, but he didn't notice how shocked victor and them were by his words.

"You, you have a wife!"

Oberley was furious: "then how dare you provoke Elsa? You bastard!"

Adrian rounded up and said, "men, it's normal to be romantic..."

"You bastard! Are you showing off your old lover Vanessa?!"

"Why don't i... I mean, that's exciting good news!"

Victor changed his words: "with the bond of Baron Donne, our Ilus empire may have a good relationship with the elves in the future."

"I try my best."

A moment later, Aurelia came back with tea.

"Green tea crisp, salty cheese, apple pie... Please! Slow down! Use it!"

Aurelia put the tea in front of Donne and them.

Although Aurelia was smiling, Donne always felt the chill in the back of his neck. It seemed that there was always a strange feeling of resentment

Illusion?

Aurelia put down her things and was going to leave.

Donne said, "Princess aurelia, please stay and drink tea. This is the tea made from the leaves of the world tree. Women can drink it to make their skin more white, elastic and younger."

"Oh? Since it's such a precious thing, I can't miss it."

Aurelia sat gracefully opposite Donne, staring at him all the time, making him uncomfortable.

Soon he divided the tea and several people began to taste it.

As soon as the tea soup was eaten, Aurelia was conquered in an instant.

How does it feel?

Like clouds and fog, the heat flow rolls and jumps on the tongue, and the fresh fragrance explodes in the mouth, breaks through the nose and goes straight into the mind.

When the tea was swallowed into the abdomen, the surging power of life mixed in the tea soup turned into heat flow and spread everywhere. Aurelia could feel every inch of her skin trembling. An electric current rushed straight from the caudal vertebra to her mind and quickly spread to her whole body. The strong power of life even expanded the magic pool in her body.

The study was quiet for a time. Victor, Aurelia and Adrian were immersed in a wonderful taste. Only oberli, who had tasted the taste before, was sober and poured more cups for himself while they were intoxicated.

This is a rare good thing. A few more drinks can prolong life. Of course, he won't be foolish enough to sit and wait for Donne to pour him tea - he has to take the initiative when something good happens.

Cheek?

Excuse me, what's the face? Can you eat?

So, when victor and them recovered and wanted another drink, they found that obery was already burping with his stomach covered.

In desperation, Donne began to cook tea again.

After three rounds of tea, seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Donne raised his mouth and said slowly, "I don't know... Do you want to get rich?"

Everyone was stunned.

Obery didn't expect Donne to go straight.

Victor was stunned: "get rich?"

"How to get rich?"

As a recidivist, Aurelia was very sensitive to the word "get rich". Her eyes lit up immediately. She noticed Donne's surprised eyes. She hurried to say, "I mean, I'm curious, too."

"Yes, your majesty Victor, your power, the prestige of the Grand Duke of aubury and the Grand Duke of Adrian, plus my promotion plan," Donne held out his right hand and shook it hard. "As long as you trust me, I'm sure you can make a lot of money!"

Of course, Donne silently added in his heart that I should take a big head.

"What about me? What about me?"

Aurelia's eyes widened.

"Er..."

Donne said with a smile, "princess, you just need to support your majesty victor."

Boom! This bastard

Aurelia secretly despises Donne, which is clearly discrimination against women!

Victor asked very simply, "what's the plan?"

"That is to say, your majesty Victor, are you interested?"

"Of course."

Victor smiled bitterly in silence. As an insider, of course, he had to mix with the son of God. Even if he really couldn't mix and die, he could be summoned to the kingdom of God by the goddess to enjoy happiness.

"What about you two?"

O'brie and Adrian looked at each other: "of course."

His majesty Victor followed. As royalty, they would follow.

"Before that, you must promise to lend me five million gold coins."

Donne smiled brightly: "of course, I'll give it back to you in a while."

"Five million gold coins..."

Victor was speechless. After discussing with oberli, Victor said, "I'll take out three million. Oberli's 1.5 million and Adrian's 500000."

Facing the complacent obery, Adrian clenched his fist. What a shame

Even Donne was surprised that the Grand Duke of Adrian's economy was so tense.

"Thank you. Next, let me explain my plan... Of course, you may not understand it now, but just remember."

Donne coughed, stood up and said solemnly, "let me ask you first, what is the most important thing in the present prandal, or the present Ilus Empire, that is, our society?"

A simple question, but it made victor and them dumbfounded and unable to answer.

Most importantly, the people of prandal have never thought about this question, so they can't answer it.

"... power?"

"If there is power, there is everything - almost everything," obery asked tentatively

Adrian nodded in amazement.

"Kingship?"

Victor then shook his head: "theocracy?"

Aurelia frowned. Donne must have a deep meaning to ask this question, but... What's the most important? It's too general. The most important things are different for everyone.

For a couple, the most important thing must be the children. For a starving person, the most important thing must be the next meal. For a businessman on the verge of bankruptcy, of course, the most important thing is gold coins

Aurelia frowned and said, "this is a question without a standard answer."

Donne waved his fingers. "What's the most important? Power? Kingship? Theocracy? No, it's not. Ollie -"

"Baron Donne! Pay attention to your address!"

Aurelia was a little embarrassed: "who allowed you to call me that!"

"Oh, sorry."

Donne apologized without sincerity, and then continued: "Princess aurelia, your consideration is too one-sided and not macro enough. My question is what is the most important thing for this society."

There was another silence in the room.

"At present, the most important thing for this society is manpower. Don't rush to refute me, I'll explain."

Donne waved his hand and interrupted Aurelia's words: "why manpower? Because everything now needs manpower to solve, transportation, planting, breeding, mining, casting and production... Yes, whatever it is, it needs manpower to solve, but people need to eat, so to put it bluntly, what is really important for this society at present is food."

"However, grain is a very timely thing, because it will go moldy and deteriorate, and it cannot be stored. Therefore, it cannot become a standard to measure national strength and wealth."

"Therefore, manpower has become a symbol of the wealth of those great nobles. Having more tenants and slaves is equal to having more wealth."

Victor, when they heard this, they nodded in agreement.

"Well, here comes the interesting thing."

Donne showed a funny smile: "if it is no longer human power that represents the advanced productive forces of this society, but a new force that can be controlled by human power... What does it mean to be the first to master this power resource?"

As a king, Victor's thinking is certainly more acute. Donne just made a few changes, and he understood Donne's intention in an instant.

Victor breathed a lot. "Baron Donne, do you mean --"

Proud don didn't notice Victor's name. He opened his arms and proudly announced: "Your Majesty Victor, Princess Aurelia and two dukes, rejoice that you will witness the arrival of a new era!"

"I will bring a new era to the world!"

"An era of magic crystal!"
