Chapter 491, Passing on Life Experience

"Generally speaking, for a young nobleman who has just become a knight-errant, what he must avoid is pointing out the country and commenting on some things all day long." Ryan continued: "At this stage, don't reveal yourself too early. Ideas and plans, talk less, do more, listen more, learn more, and learn more about the operating mechanism of the entire kingdom, how the dukes control their territories, what they usually do, how the king integrates this What is the country's process for dealing with problems."

"Well." Fedmond himself has already gone through this stage, and after listening to Ryan's guidance, he has a new understanding: "So, when you first came to the kingdom, Sir Ryan, you faced the king. Most of the orders and difficulties you have chosen to accept silently?"

"You should know that Richard and I are not on good terms." Ryan nodded: "But I am his vassal, and he granted me the title of king and sword. Some things cannot be changed by a person's will. In our confrontation, he We abide by the basic rules, and so do I. Sometimes, we need to know how to advance a bit to fight for our own interests, but sometimes, we need to know how to take a step back to leave buffer space for each other. Getting along is not a championship match, it's as simple as dying."

"For example, a paragraph consists of ten sentences. Sometimes we only need to say eight sentences, because we all know ten sentences in our hearts."

"Sometimes we have to say a full ten sentences, because this paragraph is composed of ten sentences, and it cannot be faked. Ten sentences are ten sentences."

"Sometimes we only know eight sentences, but we have to say ten sentences, because as the lord nobleman and the Holy Grail Knight, we should know ten sentences."

"Fedmond, you have to grasp the scale yourself, and that's all I can say." Ryan finally made a summary: "You have to experience the difference yourself."

"One last thing, Fedmond, how many knights are there in the whole of Brittany? How many will eventually become Holy Grail Knights?"

After this sentence was over, Ryan didn't speak any more, and he left Fedmond enough time to think.

The Holy Grail Knight closed his arms tightly, his face cloudy and uncertain.

Ryan also waited for him calmly. By the way, he bought two sandwiches from the vendor with a silver coin and handed one to Fedmond.

So the two Holy Grail knights hid in the corner of Magritte's central garden and ate sandwiches.

It's really boring, Ryan thought in his heart.

After a long time, Fedmond finally let out a long sigh,

The Holy Grail Knight looked into the distance with relief, and he said convincingly: "You are worthy of the name of a human hero, Your Excellency Ryan, your father's words are indeed true."

"It's not something hard to figure out." Ryan shook his head, he looked at the noble children playing below, and smiled: "It's just a difference in time, you have the accumulation of the Holy Grail expedition, what you lack now is someone Help me, that's enough."

"Well... Next, we will meet Amancio Perez, the leader of the Estalia Merchant Union, and Enzo Moretti, the great mentor of the Magritte Knights. Then, according to the relationship between the enemy and the friend as you said , Amancio Perez should be the target we can fight for, and Enzo Moretti, the great mentor of the Knights of Magritte, is our enemy?" After thinking for a while, Fedmond tried to ask : "Businessmen are pursuing interests. According to what you said, businessmen are not willing to see the complete severance of trade routes, so they should play the role of negotiators. They are the objects we can fight for, and the Knights of Magritte If we want to seize the Seagod Trident, are they our enemies?"

"Ha~" Ryan smiled after hearing Fedmond's consideration. He grinned and nodded again and again: "Compared to your previous idea, it has improved, but it is still wrong."

"Wrong?" Fedmond frowned.

"Yes, that's wrong." Ryan nodded lightly, and the expression on his face became serious: "First, let's talk about businessmen."

"The essence of a businessman is a person engaged in commodity trading or business activities. Everything they do is to earn more profits, so the environment that businessmen desire is a special environment." Ryan patiently analyzed to Fedmond The cause and effect relationship: "First of all, businessmen need basic order, because basic order, especially the sanctity of citizens' property, can ensure that their hard-earned wealth will not be taken away by others, and in this world , in many cases there is legal protection, and it still happens a lot, so businessmen need it even more.”

"But merchants never want to see a world that will not change like a stagnant water. If a catty of wheat is worth two silver coins in Nord and two silver coins in Estalia, then the merchant will lose trade. Motivation, because not only do they not make much profit, but they also have to pay for shipping costs, hiring guards, and various expenses, so they need chaos, they need some proper chaos, can make prices fluctuate, can make them buy low and sell high, The chaos must be large enough, because in this way there will be huge profits, but the chaos must not be too large, otherwise everything will be empty if you cannot do business."

"Businessmen are always greedy." Fedmond nodded to show that he understood.

"A catty of wheat sells for 80 copper coins in the rich Duchy of Wenford, but it can be sold for five silver coins in Nord." Ryan nodded with his eyes closed: "But if the trade route is broken, Amancio Perez will sell you a copper coin." You can’t make any money, but your family and your Sea God fleet can undoubtedly achieve this level, so we can be sure that Amancio must want to be a coordinator, which is correct.”

Fedmond couldn't help cheering inside, he felt recognized.

"But this is still not the whole problem, Fedmond, let's think more deeply." Ryan crossed his hands, and he looked at the prosperous Estalia market, where many old world goods were sold. Rare treasures: "Poldero Port is a famous deep-water port, and Amancio Perez belongs to the Estalia Merchant Alliance; leader, if your Duke Poldero family can open up this business Lu, reach a trade agreement with Amancio, think about how much profit there is in it."

"A win-win deal! Father will definitely not object!" Fedmond's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and walked back and forth excitedly: "yes! yes! That's right, after the destruction of the Armada, Bordeaux The trade with Estalia has been interrupted. As long as we can restore this trade route, we can bring at least five hundred gold kroner in profit every year! That's right! This is a win-win deal! That businessman can't refuse , that is to say, he is not only a target that can be wooed, but will also become our friend and business partner!"

"You are the eldest son of Boderick, and only you can sign a trade agreement." Ryan nodded with satisfaction: "This is a businessman."

"And the Knights of Magritte? These knights have nothing to do with us, but their hands have stretched out! They actually ordered the rogue knights to come and steal the Sea God Trident!" Fedmond finished thinking. Afterwards, this question became entangled again: "What will the Grand Master of the Knights say to us? The moment he chose to steal the Sea God Trident, we were doomed to a hostile ending."

"In the face of the Magritte Knights, an underground organization that has been hidden for hundreds of years, we must be cautious, because as long as we don't take the right step, we may trigger an all-out war." Ryan expressed his approval of Fedmond's opinion : "So, we have to analyze this meeting from the perspective of the Knights of Magritte. First of all, what is the main reason why the Knights of Magritte and we will meet each other, that is, what is the main conflict? "

"They ordered the rogue knights to steal the Seagod Trident." Fedmond immediately replied.

"Then why did the Knights of Magritte instruct the rogue knights to steal the Trident, what was the fundamental contradiction that caused this conflict and ultimately led to our expedition to Estalia?" Ryan then asked.

"The Magritte Knights believe that obtaining the Trident of the Sea God will help them in their expedition to Araby, and the ultimate goal of this knight order is to conquer Araby, take the initiative to attack, and completely eliminate all threats from the south." Fedmond seriously Thinking calmly: "Wait...Maybe, we can chat with that great mentor, we don't really want to beat you to the death!"

"That's right!" Ryan nodded seriously: "Do you still remember the vampire from the Lahmia family that you killed that day? Obviously, this is a conspiracy of the vampire. I have a guess, that is, the Trident of the Sea God can help Magri It is these vampires that the Knights of Special Expedition to Araby are rumored."

"The undead are always so hateful!" Fedmond lowered his head: "I said...Your Excellency Ryan, according to your analysis, the Knights of Magritte...may not be our enemy."

"Continue, Fedmond, continue." Ryan nodded again and again, drawing inferences from one instance, Fedmond grew up very quickly.

"The goal of the Knights of Magritte is to go on an expedition to Araby, which has no fundamental conflict with us, so we only need to tell Enzo Moretti, the great mentor of the Knights, that not only will the Trident of the Sea God not help them to go to Araby, On the contrary, if a person without the blood of the Sea God dares to use this artifact, he will incur the wrath of the Sea God, and Enzo Moretti should know how to choose." Fedmond immediately fully understood what Ryan meant.

"Not only that." Ryan continued, and the earl stood up: "Fedmond, don't forget that we in Brittania also have two knightly expeditions in Araby. From here, We are natural allies!"

"If we fight to the end, the Magritte Knights will not only be unable to get the help of the Sea God Trident, but will also establish a strong enemy for nothing, and will face the pressure of the Sea God Fleet in the future, and if everyone sits down and discusses Talk, we will be able to find that this is just a misunderstanding, we are not only enemies, but friends, we have non-contradictory goals, during the Red Flame Expedition, we used to be knight brothers who fought side by side, now, we can also continue This friendship."

As soon as these words fell, the dark clouds that had lingered in Fedmond's heart for a long time finally dissipated. In such a complicated relationship, Ryan peeled off the cocoons and analyzed them one by one. In this whirlpool, Ryan has found the right direction and the way to deal with the problem.

Fedmond was so impressed that he had nothing to say, the Holy Grail Knight paused for a while, and then said: "Your Excellency Ryan, since the merchant is our friend, and the Magritte Knight is also our friend, then who is our friend?" What about the enemy?"

"Our enemies?" Ryan smiled: "Our enemies, from beginning to end, are only those rogue knights and those vampires who sow discord."

"Is this diplomacy?" Fedmond said deeply, "Will Lord Ryan try to avoid war through diplomatic means?"

"No, this is only for humans, plus dwarves and elves at most." Ryan shook his head, and he said with a smile: "If I face chaos or green skins, I usually don't say so much, I just say a word."

"What words?"

"You horse is dead, and then you can go to war."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Fedmond laughed loudly, and even the accumulation of days disappeared: "I like this way of expression."

"Okay, we've stayed outside long enough, it's time to go back and get ready."

"Ok."

Ryan and Fedmond left the central garden and returned to the Magritte State Guest House.

Opening the door of the large suite, Ryan noticed that Alfred was slumped on the sofa. The Templars had a look of frustration on their faces. Seeing Ryan and others open the door, Alfred just raised his hand.

"How is it, Ah Fu, is it going well? Have you got her contact information? Do you know which post box you should send your letter to her?" Ryan said jokingly.

"It's not going well, good friend. Miss Claudia said that she has no plans to leave Magritte for the time being, and she has to work, so she can't agree to go out with me. I can only stand at the front desk and chat with her. A few words." Alfred said with some frustration: "Of course, during the chat, I could feel that she was very polite to me, but she was also very distant, obviously not very interested in me, we chatted about some life business."

"Oh, what did she say?" Ryan took out a bottle of sherry from the wine cabinet in the room, poured three glasses from a square glass, and handed them to Alfred and Fedmond.

"She said...she is still young and doesn't plan to leave Magritte. She wants to continue her career, meet more people, and enrich herself." Alfred reached out to take the sherry wine: "For feelings This kind of thing, she intends to let it take its course."

"This is actually a kind of rejection, Mr. Alfred, we must respect this lady's choice." Fedmond nodded, and one of the most important virtues of chivalry is to respect women.

"Let's be clear, Ah Fu, did Miss Claudia set a price for herself?" Ryan asked with a half-smile.

"A price?" Alfred was a little confused.

"That is, did she say that if she wants to find a boyfriend, what are her requirements?" Ryan continued.

"Yes... She hopes that her future boyfriend should have a villa or a knight's castle no less than 150 square meters, with an annual income of no less than 800 gold crowns, and a high-quality horse, which must be a half-breed elf More than a war horse, in addition to that, he should be handsome enough, and have a noble title above the knight of the kingdom..." Alfred became more and more frustrated as he spoke: "There are many more..."

"Then do you think she's worth the price?" Ryan asked calmly.

"Your Excellency Ryan, it's not good for you to comment on a lady like this..." Fedmond interrupted Ryan, and the Holy Grail Knight said with some displeasure: "How can you comment on this lady as a commodity? "

"I have set a price for myself, Fedmond, she herself regards herself as a commodity, and then she talks about chivalry and respect?" Ryan's words made Fedmond shut up: "You can only choose one of the two. , either a respectful exchange, or a clear-cut transaction.”

"Good friend! I really like her. I know you are the best at dealing with women. Help me, okay?" Alfred said as if grasping at straws.

"Hey...Ah Fu, where's your morning class?" Ryan's face hurts.

"This is the request of my life!"

"Your life's request is to lick the dog?! Isn't this too cheap?!"
