Chapter 588

Roger Joad... If Lauren is asked to pick out the list of Bain's most difficult enemies, the president of the Joad chamber of commerce is undoubtedly the first, and even ahead of governor Bain - because an expatriate governor like Gaspar can be elevated, but the Joad chamber of Commerce, which holds the lifeline of Bain's economy, can't!

As long as the other side is still in Gaspar's camp, the Turin family and even the count of Bain can't really do anything to the governor... Because they don't dare to be enemies with the yode chamber of Commerce, nor dare they risk cutting off their trade routes, losing their financial resources and trade, and finally leading the riots.

All this is just nodding for the middle-aged man in front of him.

Quietly raised his glass, the black haired wizard deliberately showed some surprise and fear in his eyes, and the rest of his sight didn't leave his face for a moment.

A burst of applause came from the corner of the banquet. From a distance, the well-dressed female musician could be seen bowing to the surrounding guests with a smile.

"Lord Loren Turin, you don't have to doubt my intention." old Luo Jie shook his head and smiled clearly. "Don't worry, I didn't come to negotiate with you for the governor, but just wanted to make friends with you."

With a formulaic smile, Loren nodded suddenly.

Ghosts don't believe it

"Excuse me... What do you need me to do for you?"

"Nothing... As I just said, just make friends; I'm a businessman. The more friends, the better." old Roger smiled. "And... I think our relationship and position are very close and share common interests."

"What do you mean?" the dark haired wizard frowned slightly.

"You support count Charlotte Turin, and I support governor Gaspar; but hostility or reconciliation are all the things of adults. We supporters are actually doing the same thing - that is to do everything possible to build a strong principality of Bain, and it must be a principality with red blood castle as the core!"

"Oh?"

"At least on this point, governor Gaspar and count Charlotte Turin should have the same idea - only with red blood castle as the core, the Principality of Bain is a powerful and not divisive principality; this is not only a historical reason, but an inevitable result." without noticing Loren's expression, old Roger opened himself:

"Compared with any principality, Byrne is so huge that it has 13 equally powerful earls, which is both good and bad; the good thing is that the territory is vast, so that Byrne can be self-sufficient in his own wealth and resources without relying on the outside world;"

"The disadvantage is that once such a vast territory loses its absolute center and core, it is easy to split and separate; whether it is East-West or north-south, the dismembered Bain's strength and wealth will be greatly reduced, which is inevitable!"

"Therefore, as the capital of Byrne for thousands of years, red blood castle has a pivotal position..." the gushing old Roger looked back and saw Lauren's stunned expression. He couldn't help smiling apologetically: "sorry, you don't have to care too much when you are old..."

"No!"

Loren suddenly interrupted him: "what you said is very reasonable - if the red blood Castle loses its core position, Byrne will be disintegrated!"

A trace of surprise flashed across the corner of old Roger's eye.

When talking about this step, Loren has made it clear what the other party's intention is - he just came to show that he wants to use himself to improve the relationship between the governor's office and the Turin family... Even further, he has a place in the camp of the two princes by winning over himself and establishing a relationship with Brandon de Salion.

Support one side openly, but collude with the other side secretly to buy... It's really worthy of being a businessman.

However, selfishness belongs to selfishness. What he said is not unreasonable - the vast territory and rich land have indeed created Bain's prosperity, but also made each territory independent... If such a principality does not have an irreplaceable and powerful core, it will be divided!

Especially today, nearly a hundred years after the Turin family lost the Duke title... No one can be sure that other earls really have no ambition.

"How do you think red blood castle can have a natural and irreplaceable dominant position in Bain?" old Roger asked tentatively.

The black haired wizard cunningly raised the corner of his mouth: "haven't you just said this?"

"Huh?"

"Roads, trade routes... Or trade routes and transportation networks - only a road network with red blood castle as the core and connecting the whole principality of Bain can determine the absolutely irreplaceable status of this land!"

When the voice fell, old Roger looked at the black haired wizard in front of him in shock. His expression was like seeing a completely different person.

Should I say... Worthy of being the only confidant of his highness Brandon?!

The surprised expression stayed on old Roger's face for less than a minute, and soon showed a gentle smile: "but... This idea is good, but it's difficult to implement."

"Let alone such a large-scale road repair, the wealth and resources consumed can only be described in billions... Even if so much wealth can be gathered, whether the Earls of various territories can agree is also a problem."

His thinking was rigorous and clear, and it was obvious that he had considered the problem carefully.

"Yes, it is very important to persuade the Earls of various territories, and the cost of repairing roads is not a small number." Loren smiled cunningly:

"But... Isn't that what you want?"

Old Roger was stunned.

"The influence of such a huge project on the whole principality is self-evident; large-scale construction also means large-scale procurement, which is bound to attract more material merchants to come to the door, so as to reduce the cost as much as possible. If it is handled well, it is almost guaranteed to make no loss."

"As for the question of persuading the Lord and spending... They are actually one problem." Loren lowered his voice and said meaningfully:

"As you said, what businessmen need most is friends; and to do this... You need a lot of friends."

Old Luo Jie thought deeply, then smiled and looked up at the black haired wizard in front of him: "so... Do you agree with me?"

"Not only that."

"Not only that?"

"Yes, I also found a very suitable and powerful friend who can help us complete this cause that can go down in history," Loren said easily.

"If you say so, I must meet this friend... Is he here today?"

"Don't be nervous, you're already outside the door." the more the black haired wizard smiled:

"And... Who said 'he'?"

"Huh?!"

Right now

"Bang --!"

The door of the palace hall was opened by the knights, and a heavy and slow sound echoed throughout the hall.

Music, dance, cups and lanterns... All the sounds were quiet in an instant, and all the people's eyes subconsciously looked out the door. I don't know what happened.

"Wow... What a grand occasion!"

A young and childlike voice sounded from the door; Then walked into the hall, is a very petite figure.

The hall was silent.

Almost everyone's expression showed a trace of confusion and curiosity; Staring at the petite, step by step towards the countess.

Charlotte Turin, sitting on the steps with her head up, showed a proud expression similar to that of a black haired wizard;

Only the little wizard showed fear and consternation in his eyes at the moment he saw the figure, and his thin and delicate body froze in an instant.

How, how could it be her?

Why her?!

Just after the girl, a second person came into the hall... A small red and black dress, a pair of scarlet eyes under the white and golden hair.

The next second, the young man who entered the hall carried his hands behind his back, his clear eyes swept everyone in the hall, and suddenly sounded with a little proud voice:

"Here comes Miss Ariel corona, grandson of consul eboden --!!!"
