Chapter Thirty(1/4)
Riding on horses and galloping in the forest.
Ruibo was enjoying the feeling of the wind elves supporting his body.
This feeling has been a long time since.
Lightning speed, the wind blowing, and the dust rising from horse hooves trampling on the earth.
Rebow enjoyed it all.
The recovery of his body was much faster than he thought, from being able to walk with his crutches to being able to run, it took much less time than being able to walk in the ground.
As for the physical depletion mentioned by Eckert, I am very lucky that it has not appeared until now.
Frera deserves to be a professional trainer, and she is absolutely authoritative in this regard.
It has been two full weeks since the Count Robert ended his life in a tragic way in the carriage because of his complete failure.
Because of the testimony of guests of special identities, the suicide of Count Robert did not bring any storm to Serthborough.
Because he was under pressure from all walks of life and jointly put pressure from dozens of wealthy nobles, even His Majesty the King could not withstand this terrible attack. He had to naturally shift all the responsibility to the dead Earl Robert.
Those wealthy families that suffered huge losses naturally had to find a target to vent, so the family to which Count Robert belonged was temporarily overwhelmed by fierce attacks from all directions.
Earl Rowenel, who was originally favored by His Majesty the King, had to be transferred to the border city bordering Xibai to serve as a small director of finance.
In addition to this unfortunate Count, the King's life was also not easy.
Although he regarded Count Robert as a scapegoat, he still faced doubts from the Elder's House.
Although the Supreme One repeatedly explained that he did not attempt to deprive the hereditary territory of the Medin family, the Elders' House still imposed strict restrictions on His Majesty's authorization.
All of this is news that Fez brought back from the capital.
The will of His Majesty the King also arrived with these news.
As Eckert expected, the king had to admit his identity as the Lord of the Castle of Serth. His Majesty the King naturally showed a deep hatred for the arrogant actions of Count Robert in Chrithborg. He took back all the rewards he had given to Count Robert, including the title of Count Robert and hereditary fief. Although Count Robert's charges were not publicly announced, the Elder's Court has found him guilty of treason.
Just when he thinks of these words, Earl Fesnan's brows and dances.
Ruibo felt extremely funny.
His Majesty the King also sent an informal official letter, which apologized for the appointment of Count Robert as his guardian.
In order to express his apology, a part of the funds were allocated from the national treasury for the restoration and reconstruction of the South Port. However, before the funds arrived, Serthborg was paid first.
When Earl Fesnan said these things, he chose to speak very carefully, obviously very afraid that Ruibo would refuse it because of this.
Ruibo knew very well what Earl Fesnan wanted.
In fact, he did not expect His Majesty the King to fulfill his promise.
As a native of Nangang, Ruibo will never be stingy about Nangang's things that are beneficial to Nangang, but he will not deal with them as His Majesty the King said.
It is not a fool that Ruibo is willing to do to make up for the losses of the wealthy and nobles.
However, taking this opportunity to get to know the Francis wealthy families is something that Ribo and Eckert are quite willing to do.
Of course, their methods are much more clever than taking out gold coins to buy them.
The glass factory just built in Serthburg has already been released one after another.
These qualities and styles are definitely no less than high-quality imported goods shipped from Yilei, and are quite attractive to those nobles.
In order to increase the value of these goods, Ruibo neither came forward himself nor let Count Fesnan have full power to operate it.
The power of control was handed over to Miss Meiding.
For Miss Meiding, the biggest gain is undoubtedly that she firmly controls those extremely powerful allies.
In addition to using those shiny glass products to hook these three big names from the capital.
After Mr. Hyde recovered part of their losses through special means, these three families became at least nominally allies of the Medin family.
What made Rebbo extremely admired was that Mr. Hyde did not spend a single gold coin in this incident from scratch.
But he has undoubtedly gained the most.
Not only did Mr. Mail take out a large sum of money and pay Mr. Hyde as funds to buy pirates.
He also got most of the wealth stolen by those pirates.
Of course, Eckert's clever means and smart business acumen played an absolute role.
A porcelain or vase worth at least 5,000 was placed under Mr. Hyde's name for six or seven hundred gold coins, and the stolen jewelry and gold and silver utensils were naturally distributed to the pirates for two or three times the price.
After the sharing of the spoils was over, the pirates had in addition to gold and silver coins, which were dazzling gold and silver jewelry, as well as some gorgeous silk.
These dazzling objects are indeed valuable, but they are much less valuable than the works of art, exquisite crafts and exquisite porcelain from the East that Mr. Hyde has obtained.
As for the losses recovered for the three big names, Mr. Hyde also made a lot of money from it.
All the items were purchased by Mr. Maier and the merchants from South Port and given to the three great men.
Of course, to avoid suspicion.
He had to post a notice proclaiming that he would sell back the stolen artworks to the pirates, and this was always done.
Since the notice said that the stolen goods were bought back with a large amount of money, the heavy money naturally fell into Mr. Hyde's pocket.
Ruibo calculated it all over and over, and Mr. Hyde earned at least nearly 10 million in this matter.
What's more, he also gained both fame and fortune.
The three great men felt very kind to the Lord Lord who recovered their losses.
...
Walking alone in the quiet Bart Forest.
They rushed from this avenue to flee all the way to Fort Serth.
I was worried about possible attacks along the way.
Ted was still injured, which was left to save his life.
Ruibo never forgot that thrilling scene, which was the first time in his life, he danced on the scale of life and death.
Ruibo rode his horse along Tongjun Avenue.
The trees on both sides of the avenue are no longer as lush as they did when they came.
The cold wind in late autumn has already turned their lush branches and leaves into a withered and yellow ground.
Ruibo can no longer find the place where he was attacked, and that place may have been opened as another place for passers-by to rest.
Looking at these trees and the familiar forks in the distance, Ruibo felt a lot of emotion.
This may be his last time to embark on the road to Nangang.
Because the decree issued by His Majesty also mentioned that he would be invited to the capital to meet His Majesty, and the king would ask him personally about the atrocities of Earl Robert at Serthborough and the losses suffered by the Nangang due to this atrocity.
Although this will was a little beyond Rebe's expectations, he had not expected that His Majesty the King would give up.
Even Mr. Eckert and Mr. Hyde believed that His Majesty the King would definitely come up with some other solutions and reach out to the Southport.
However, this time he should not use tough measures anymore.
Both Mr. Hyde and Mr. Miel hope to reach an agreement with His Majesty the King that both parties can recognize.
Another thing that surprised Ribo was that there were three other lobbyists who came with Earl Fesnan.
These three lobbyists are Earls Foucous, Earls Sabene, and Earls Siroop.
I remember what Count Sabein said at the beginning: "Mr. Byrndit, my family and I will warmly welcome you in the capital. Both you and your guardian Mr. Hyde are my family and my closest friends."
And the young man made another statement: "Yes, His Majesty the Queen also wants to see you. She wants to see you, a legendary little magician."
The last one said was even more meaningful: "The Elders' House also hopes that you can make a trip. The Elders' House has extremely important things. I want to discuss it very much. Everything that happened in Nangang and Serthburg this time is undoubtedly a tragedy. In order not to repeat the tragedy, we need to learn from it, and you must have the deepest understanding of it."
Obviously, these three gentlemen have their own plans.
Behind that Earl Foucault is the Elders' House. The so-called important matter is probably related to His Majesty the King's mistake this time.
Rebow doubted whether the Elder House had been instigated and tempted by the Prince Phillips, and planned to take this opportunity to depose the King, who was always in trouble.
This time the incident was a huge sensation, and almost all the nobles and wealthy families of Francis were implicated, and nearly fifty families were directly offended.
Besides, the worst thing is that every wealthy family, even the powerful families who control the Elders' House, thinks that His Majesty the King has angered the Holy See.
When there is a prince around you who is eyeing the throne, this is almost undoubtedly an absolutely fatal weakness.
In this case, it is not impossible for the Elder House to abandon His Majesty the King and instead support Prince Phillips.
The young man must have stood on the king's side, and the invitation of His Majesty the Queen was a show of kindness or just a means of calming people's hearts, and it is unknown whether Ruibo was.
How bad the current situation is for the king, a discerning person can definitely see that it is an incredible thing for His Majesty the King to not try to make up for it.
The best and the most effective way to make up for it is undoubtedly to bring closer relationship with Ruibo.
Ribo's identity is now extraordinary. Not only did he establish a close connection with all the wealthy and nobles because of this incident, he also became the secular spokesperson of the Holy See in Francis.
As for the third gentleman, it is difficult to guess what his plan is. Maybe he was indeed out of a polite invitation, and maybe he also represents a part of the power.
The three gentlemen will leave Serthburgh in a week and return to the capital Francis.
To be continued...
