Chapter 489, Conditions and Prices
ps: The new version of Hearthstone is back to the pit. At level 25, I used the standard big brother to play 5 times. I won 2 and lost 3. I am still at level 25. Is Hearthstone so difficult to play now? Sure enough, it was uninstalled.
"The internal affairs of the empire cannot be interfered by outsiders, even the kingdom of knights on the other side of the mountain." The great alchemist shook his head and said, "No matter how you argue, whether Emmanuel should take over the position of elector is none of your business. At present, Emperor Karl Franz and White Wolf Elector Boris Todbringer, who are the most important in the empire, are on Emmanuel's side, and she revealed that Jani is actually a woman , her chances of winning are not small, and if you intervene again at this time, it is very likely to touch the sensitive nerves of the electors, causing an unknowable change in the whole situation."
"Well." Ryan nodded. This is the same for all forces of order. The internal affairs of the empire are one thing. No matter how friendly he is with the empire, he is a nobleman of Brittania.
"But you'd better make a statement, that is to admit that the child in Emmanuel's womb is yours." Gelt continued to analyze calmly: "This is very important to her, as long as you admit it, then all the emperors will Hou will seriously examine the relationship between you and the strength behind Emmanuel."
"I'm already doing it." There is no dispute about this. Ryan said that he had already ordered his subordinate Devin Baron Hux to go to the empire with a document he personally signed.
The status of an illegitimate child is related to the attitude of the parents, the emperor, and the environment in which he was born.
If the parents of the illegitimate child were both great aristocrats and were recognized by their parents, he would not be considered lowly.
If the status of an illegitimate child can be recognized and supported by the emperor, and can be legalized at the same time, he can legally inherit the title.
The children of Ryan and Emilia will not face opponents in the right of inheritance, because only Emilia is left in the direct blood of the Bernardino family. As long as she can give birth to a healthy child, then it will definitely be This illegitimate son inherits her title, because there is no other choice in terms of order.
Under the condition that the emperor has agreed, Lord Ryan just needs to express his attitude, stand in a good position, don't interfere, and leave everything to Emilia to handle by herself.
This is Gelt's suggestion. Ryan nodded slowly after thinking for a while. This is a mature and prudent idea. There is nothing wrong with the great alchemist's idea. With Emilia dominant, what Ryan needs is not to interfere, because this is the internal affairs of the empire.
The two came to a small hillside, looking at the lush plains of Estalia and the grass and shrubs on the plains,
Ryan missed his little maid in his heart, so he remained silent.
The great alchemist obviously saw that Ryan was very concerned, and he continued: "The Schroeder family thought that Jani and Emilia were friends who played big together, so they should not object to this marriage, but no one thought that, Gianni was a woman, and besides, no one thought Emilia was pregnant."
"It was an accident, but I will not regret it. I will do my duty." Ryan said loudly with his hands behind his back: "I have taken her in for many years."
"It has nothing to do with how many years she has been kept." Gelt turned around: "Do you know how many elector families put forward marriage requests on the spot in the Imperial Parliament? Emmanuel has to withstand far more pressure than It’s as big as you imagined, I’ve deduced it twelve times and I can’t fully consider every variable, but judging from the current situation, Emmanuel intends to persevere to the end.”
"I know." Ryan frowned, and he could only sigh: "Let's see what happens in the future."
Emilia is now far away in the capital of the empire, and Ryan can't do much. He took out an eagle flag from his arms and handed it to Gelt: "Do you recognize this?"
"The Knights of Magritte." Gelt reached out to take the eagle flag, and the great alchemist just glanced at it and returned it to Ryan.
"You know?" Ryan withdrew the eagle flag. The Knights of Magritte was a secret he knew from the Holy Grail Cathedral. As an older empire with more information, there is no reason not to know it, especially for the recently favored Gail. Especially.
"The empire knows far more than you imagine." Gelt whispered, "Sure enough, the Knights of Magritte also participated in this matter."
"Didn't the empire say anything about it? Such a huge hidden organization?" Ryan asked.
"The purpose and goal of the Knights of Magritte is the expedition to Arabia. Is there any conflict with the policy of the empire? At least they are still fighting against the enemies of mankind, fighting to defend the borders, and constantly destroying the desert. Those chaotic apostles and mutant creatures worshiped by villains." The tone of the great alchemist was cold and full of indifference: "The Knights of the Spear of Justice under the Knights of Magritte defend the law and order of the empire, and the Knights of the Flying Eagle are in Kisler all the year round. If it weren't for them, how many troops would Karl Franz's empire need to lose?"
"Millions of human beings sacrificed to defend the empire. I don't think we need to think about the desert on the other side of the ocean. The empire has twice expressed its hope that the Knights of Magritte who have been hiding for hundreds of years The knights gave up the expedition to Araby, but this order can never last long." The great alchemist was always so calm: "Because the emperor's courtiers always think that the distant overseas countries don't need to pay attention."
"But I'm in trouble now!" Ryan whispered, "The rogue knights stole the Poseidon Trident, a family heirloom of the Boldero family, and the knights of the Magritte Knights believed that this artifact could help They went to Araby!"
"This is indeed a trouble." The great alchemist was also aware of the problem. He paced and thought: "According to what you said, the high-ranking vampires have also joined this conspiracy, and the Lamia family... and My opponent is Baron Leopold Harken of the Blood Dragon family."
"So, in the case of the theft of the Sea God's Trident, the Empire, the Duke of Bordero's family, me, the rogue knights, the vampire Lamia family, the vampire blood dragon family, and the War Goddess Mirmidia Church are all involved. , Magritte Knights, and Estalia’s Merchant Alliance.” Ryan said with a face of pain: “So, I need your help, the Great Alchemist of the Empire.”
"...What help do you need?" Belshazer-Gert understood Ryan's purpose, and he nodded: "I will try my best to help you, this is the will of the lord."
"The empire must be able to contact the Grand Master of the Magritte Knights and the leader of the Estalia Merchants Alliance, right?" Ryan narrowed his eyes: "I want to see them, help me arrange a meeting with them, otherwise the vampire The conspiracy will succeed!"
"Meet?" Gelt thought for a while: "Yes, Enzo Moretti, the great mentor of the Magritte Knights, will stay in Magritte. As for the leader of the Estalia Merchant Union, Amancio- Perez, this is a shrewd and cunning businessman, he should be willing to see you."
"Help me arrange, the time should be fast." Ryan frowned: "According to intelligence, the merchants in Estalia hired a well-equipped mercenary with a lot of firearms to protect their delivery. There must be heavy casualties in the fight, which is not what I want to see."
"I understand, I will contact the imperial ambassador to Estalia immediately!" Gelt will not refuse Ryan's request: "I can contact you for you, but how to negotiate with them is up to you, I will not participate."
"Of course." Ryan expressed his understanding that Gelt has a special status. He is the great alchemist of the empire. To a certain extent, he represents the will of Emperor Karl Franz, and he must not abuse his authority. This will make the emperor lose trust in him.
"Borrowing the power of the empire is not free." The eyes of the great alchemist hidden behind the golden mask exuded a stern aura: "Alchemy is a kind of exchange of equal value. If you don't sacrifice anything, you can get nothing. For To get something, you must pay the same price, this is the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy."
"What price does the great alchemist of the empire want?" Ryan knew that it was time to negotiate the terms.
"Help me, deal with the Blood Dragon Baron Leopold Harken!" Fu Pin Chinese
