Chapter 255: The Strong and Offensive Luther
Secondly, it is diplomatic relations.
Viscount Silver Wing and Earl Windsor are very at odds with each other.
Thirdly, it is the family business. Viscount Silver Wing handed over the family business to a guy named "Thor", who is a very greedy person.
Finally, it is the situation in the territory. The agricultural production in Viscount Silver Wing's territory is basically self-sufficient, but salt needs to be purchased from outside, and the nearby territory is the Earl Windsor Territory that produces salt.
In addition, the largest annual income of Viscount Silver Wing's territory is iron ore production.
Because in the nearby territories, only Viscount Silver Wing has a large iron ore vein.
The final conclusion is that Viscount Silver Wing is very, very stupid. He is not good at diplomacy, and he has an unclear relationship with the wife of an important minister. He handed his money bag to a greedy person.
Looking at these several pages of documents, Luther had a rough plan in his mind.
It is enough to make Viscount Silver Wing's territory fall into chaos. The question is who will take the Viscount's life in the end.
Luther thought for a long time and decided to lure a certain force to take action.
"Mr. Mayor, I hope you can send someone who is eloquent and tight-lipped to contact this "Mr. Thor" and do something."
"I will go to see Mr. Earl of Windsor in person and do some diplomatic work."
Luther sorted out the documents, returned them to Lelouch and said, "Burn this document."
"Okay."
Lelouch readily agreed.
Luther said hello to his family, and then took four family knights and rode to the Earl of Windsor.
There is another great noble's territory between the Earl of Windsor and the Barton Territory, but the journey is not far. Luther arrived at the Earl of Windsor three days later.
The main city of the Earl of Windsor is Windsor City, and the size of the territory is similar to that of the Barton Territory. The only advantage is salt production.
Luther has dealt with the Earl of Windsor, or more precisely, Luther has dealt with the great nobles of several surrounding territories.
At the ball held by Baron Philip that night, Luther established some personal connections with these people.
There was nothing he could do about it. According to Luther's current reputation in Orange, as long as the other party was not too bad-tempered, Luther could make friends.
Of course, new friends could have a good chat, but if they wanted to help, it would depend on the interests.
Considering Earl Windsor's cuckold complex, Luther's success rate should be very high when he came to see Earl Windsor to do business this time.
"Hey, little Luther, I didn't expect you to come to my castle so soon." Earl Windsor hugged Luther warmly.
At the ball that day, the nobles invited Luther to visit their territories.
They all had the intention of establishing further contact with Luther. But Earl Windsor was still very surprised because it was too fast.
"Mr. Earl, this time I came here to discuss something with you." After hugging Earl Windsor, Luther whispered.
"I understand." Earl Windsor was very smart and said with a smile. Then he took Luther to a room in the castle.
The furnishings in the room were very simple, just a few chairs. But the windows were sealed, and the room was full of magic runes, which looked like it had been specially modified.
"This room has a very good soundproofing effect. Even if we speak louder, other knights can't hear our conversation."
Earl Windsor said.
Luther looked at it with a little envy. As expected of generations of nobles, there is even such a place in the castle. It is really a good place to talk about conspiracies and tricks. I will also make one when I have the chance.
Luther suppressed the little thought in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Earl, are you interested in doing something for the Viscount in our north?"
Earl Windsor was shocked after hearing this. As a seasoned politician, Mr. Earl obviously didn't trust Luther so easily.
"I have a good relationship with Mr. Viscount Silver Wing. Besides, the nobles have a tacit understanding and will not attack each other at will."
Earl Windsor said with a smile.
Earl Windsor began to think about whether what this guy said was true or false. However, I did hear recently that Viscount Silver Wing had a little conflict with the Pompeii family.
The eldest son of Knight Sauron, a vassal of the Barton family, had his right arm chopped off.
That poor child seemed to be a cousin of this guy.
Earl Windsor was very impressed by the news. At that time, the Earl opened a bottle of expensive red wine to celebrate.
"Of course, the relationship between the great nobles must be harmonious, and they must unite around the Earl of Libya to maintain their rule over the entire Orange. I apologize for what I said just now." Luther called him an old fox in his heart, but he showed an apologetic look on his face and said.
"Changing the subject, I heard that the well salt development in your territory, Mr. Earl, seems to have encountered some problems. So you can't produce salt for a while?"
Luther asked with curiosity.
The Kingdom of Prussia is close to the sea, but it is separated by endless forests. Therefore, all the salt-producing areas in the kingdom are well salt, and the salt fields in the Earl of Windsor's territory are no exception.
Earl Windsor has confirmed that this guy is indeed going to do something to Viscount Silver Wing. And Earl Windsor knows that according to the power of this guy in front of him, if he wants to do something, it will be very, very easy, and it will cause great consequences.
On the one hand, Earl Windsor was surprised by Luther's decisiveness. It is not easy to make up your mind to deal with a great nobleman. It is really a formidable young man.
On the other hand, Earl Windsor was also secretly alert. Don't offend this guy casually if there is nothing to do, otherwise there will be great trouble.
However, Earl Windsor's biggest emotion is still joy.
He has long wanted to do something to Viscount Silver Wing.
"Luther, you are really well-informed. There was a problem with the salt field in my territory yesterday, and you knew it immediately." Earl Windsor shrugged and said.
"Hey, only your territory produces salt around. It seems that the price of salt will increase, and it may not be available even if you have money." Luther sighed and was a little worried.
After skimming over the performances of the two politicians, Luther reached a private understanding with Earl Windsor and immediately headed for the Golden City.
It is easy to kill Viscount Silver Wing, but it is not easy to do it without any trouble.
But it is very easy to bring down Viscount Silver Wing.
There are only two points, one is salt and the other is food.
Because whether it is Silver Wing, Barton, or Windsor, they are all small territories. Although they have their own army, government, and the right to make laws.
Their territories can also be self-sufficient, but this self-sufficiency is very fragile. As long as there is a slight exception, they will be in a mess.
As long as someone causes a little damage to Silver Wing first, and then exerts huge energy, it can allow big merchants to control salt and food.
Silver Wing collapsed immediately.
There are not many people in Orange who can do this. Even if they can do this, most people will not be so hard on a real noble.
Merchants, all make money by being harmonious.
Not to mention the nobles, they would not easily attack other nobles.
Luther happened to be a capable person, and he had the courage and determination to take action.
From this point of view, Viscount Silver Wing caused everything that night, which was definitely digging his own grave.
