Chapter 89 The Road to the Future
On the way back to the hotel, Sifer, who was sitting in the carriage, recalled Kyle's provocative expression and words, sorting out and summarizing in his heart.
'The objects I can provoke can be roughly divided into two types: human and non-human. When provoking a human being, one needs to understand the target well enough to be able to use a few simple words and actions to make him lose his mind. '
'From this point of view, the role of the provocateur in this sequence stage should lie in the word 'provocation' itself. If I provoke the people around me anytime and anywhere, the potion residue should be digested quickly. '
'That's the consequence of doing this, I guess I will be miserable? '
'At Sequence 9, the hunter stage has greatly improved physical fitness, enhanced fighting-related abilities, and is good at making traps. '
'At Sequence 8, the hunter's ability can be used to assist the provocateur. Then what about the arsonist in Sequence 7, the arsonist sounds like a fire mage, and it seems to have nothing to do with the previous two sequences. '
'Suddenly changed from a provocateur to a fire mage, it is indeed a chaotic and mysterious world.'
‘Well, I believe that provocateurs should have a deeper core of acting, but like hunters, they need to engage in a lot of pre-acting before they can be summed up from experience. '
Xifa rubbed his cheeks, always feeling that the performance at this stage would inevitably be beaten.
In the afternoon, he changed into formal clothes, brought gifts, and accompanied by the servant Matthew and the bodyguard Gru, he rode a carriage to Jinwutong District.
Senator Maynard's home is here.
The Jinwutong District can be said to be the wealthy district of Tingen City. The environment here is quiet and quiet, and there are tall and dense sycamore trees planted on the spacious roads made of cement.
These are all single-family houses, surrounded by gardens and lawns, as well as stables and fountains.
After arriving at the member's house, Xifa came to the main entrance of the two-story building under the guidance of a butler in a tuxedo and white gloves.
Passing through the porch and entering the living room, Sifa saw a man in his forties, with blond hair cut short, bushy eyebrows, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Sifa knew that it was Senator Maynard.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Maynard, I hope my visit will not disturb you."
As soon as he entered the living room, Xifa took the initiative to speak, and received the gift prepared earlier in the morning from the hand of the personal servant Matthew.
When Maynard took the red wine and cigars, his expression was polite but did not change a bit, but when he saw Xifa handing over a book of poems, his expression was obviously startled.
Seeing the opportunity for the two to get in close contact, Xifa said in a low voice and with a smile: "This is written by the famous poet Habakak. In the collection of poems "Lover", there are many romantic love poems recorded."
"I know Mr. Maynard is also a romantic and might like it, and I hope it won't be offensive to you."
Maynard smiled, the genuine kind, as he took the poetry collection without handing it to his valet.
"Sifer, you're such an interesting kid. Come, come and sit here."
Mr. Senator warmly invited Xifa to sit down, and seeing the book of poems in his hand, Xifa smiled even brighter.
After a while of pleasantries, Xifa did not forget Baisen's confession, and sent greetings to the parliamentarians instead of the baron, and implicitly expressed Baisen's desire to seek political cooperation.
Maynard smiled when he heard the words, and did not respond directly to the matter, but said: "In the near future, it is foreseeable that there will be more and more jazz in our kingdom."
Xifa didn't quite understand, but he maintained a smile on the surface and patiently listened to the councilman.
"Did you hear about the Corn Bills?"
Xifa nodded slightly in response: "After the abolition of the "Corn Act", the price of food fell, and the grain merchants in our town once complained to my father."
Maynard hummed, without changing his smile: "This turmoil involves a wide range of people, and the number of people involved is probably beyond your imagination."
"After the abolition of this bill, food prices plummeted, and the rent standards for fields and pastures also fell off a cliff."
“A lot of the old-school aristocrats had a lot of fields, pastures, and forests. So they were hit hard. They had to sell their land, pastures, or their collections in order to maintain a decent living.”
"In this way, the rich merchants of our kingdom have obtained a precious opportunity."
Maynard showed a meaningful smile, and glanced at Xifa: "Jeuneship."
The expression on Xifa's face froze slightly: "A knighthood?"
"Yes, a large amount of land is spit out from the pockets of the old-school nobles, which allows wealthy businessmen to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire it. And as long as they have a land area that can match the title, plus the necessary contributions to the kingdom and the party, such as If you donate, you will be able to obtain His Majesty's royal title and a hereditary title!"
"It is gratifying that despite the turmoil brought about by the "Corn Law", there are still many rich merchants in our kingdom. Therefore, I conclude that in the near future, many new nobles will emerge in our kingdom."
When Maynard said this, he paused for a while before saying: "So, if your father, Baron Byson wants to do something, he must speed up."
"Otherwise, when those upstarts flood into the kingdom's political arena, Mr. Baron's competitiveness will be greatly increased."
I see.
Xifa nodded and said sincerely: "Mr. Maynard, thank you for your suggestion. I will send this matter to my father as soon as possible."
He said so, but in fact, Xifa thought further.
Sooner or later, he will leave that family. At that time, he will lose his status as the baron's son and lose a lot of protection.
If he has a large amount of funds and can acquire a land area that is sufficient to match the title, he can obtain the king's royal title through donation and become a hereditary knight.
In this way, he can have an official identity, which can provide him with various protections.
Gradually, Xifa became clear about the road to take in the future.
Invest to get rich, buy land and confer titles!
When these preparations are made, it is the time for him to leave his current family!
At this time, Maynard covered his chest with his hands, seemed to feel unwell, and coughed for a while.
The strange thing is that Xifa suddenly felt that his spirituality was touched by something.
He blinked twice in succession without any trace, and activated his spiritual vision.
Looking at Maynard, he can only see the member's aura and etheric body, and did not find any health threats to Maynard.
Instead, Maynard coughed a puff of smoke from his mouth, and they shimmered and changed. Amidst the billowing smoke, some blurred faces appear from time to time
