Chapter 126: Winning over

"Relatives?"

Derrick smiled nonchalantly.

"Strictly speaking, there are only two people in the Augusta family, me and my wife.

The Ferreira family is the Ferreira family, and the Augusta family is the Augusta family. He dare not break the rules."

This is the game rule of the nobles, and assassination is also true, but there must be limits.

Besides, this is the Northland. A guy from the capital comes to the Northland to act wildly?

If Hushan dares to do something with a bad brain, he will be drowned in the bathtub without his own hands.

The messenger of Louis II was standing awkwardly by the side, listening to the earl's embarrassing words without concealing anything.

He wished he was deaf and heard nothing.

Oh, it would be better to be blind.

Because Count Augusta had thrown away his knight's sword and asked him: "I heard that His Majesty the King has good sword skills?"

"Yes, ordinary titled knights are not as good as His Majesty's sword skills." The messenger answered subconsciously.

This lie has been told so many times that it feels like it has come true.

"Then I will go to the capital and ask His Majesty for advice."

The messenger wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he talk too much?

How could he not know the level of His Majesty the King?

But the man in front of him, judging from the training performance just now, can probably press the king to the ground with one hand.

If he really makes a joke, he, the instigator, will definitely be finished.

The messenger was about to cry, looking at Derek eagerly, begging: "My Lord, please don't play with me."

"It's boring," Derek snapped his fingers, and someone immediately sent a plate of gold coins.

"The punishment of His Majesty the King is still quite heavy. One thousand gold coins are enough for me to eat and drink for several years."

The messenger didn't dare to say anything, and didn't even count, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

This made Simon jealous, staring at his back.

A thousand gold coins is not a small amount, but for Derek now, it is nothing.

The so-called punishment was just revealed.

This is the reply of Louis II.

Can Louis II escape the responsibility for what Hussein did?

Derek could not take revenge on the king, but this was the price Louis II had to pay.

Hussein lost a son, so the king had to pay a little.

However, Derek wrote down this account and would repay his dear king when he had the chance.

…

Guests from the royal family arrived at the Mergen Monastery.

Dean Massimo and Dean Rosanara were waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests.

Since Derek conquered the Mergen Province, they had thought that there would be such a day.

“The visitor is not kind!” Dean Massimo sighed. He knew the intention of the royal family.

Theoretically, the Mergen Monastery could completely control Derek, at least there would be no problem eating from both ends.

But now…

Looking at the members of the monastery knights around him, Dean Massimo had a sinister look on his face.

In the battle of the Mergen Province, the monastery knights suffered heavy losses, a large number of knights were killed, and a few were injured and retired.

These are the forces carefully cultivated by the monastery, and many of them are noble children around the Monta Province.

I thought that such a heavy loss would frustrate Count Augusta's ambition.

But the knights who came back were all stubborn.

They claimed to have seen the saints and felt the power of miracles, and the key was that their strength increased greatly.

One or two of them could be said to be shills, and they were calculated by others.

But the whole knight group had this attitude, and Dean Massimo was already scared.

In addition, the monastery knights represented the military force of the Mergen Monastery, so he had no chance to defect.

Mergen Monastery had great influence because of the noble believers and knights, and in turn was checked and balanced by these noble knights.

He had no doubt that if he dared to turn to the royal family, those crazy knights would tie him to the cross and burn him to death.

All ambitions disappeared in the face of the burning.

Dean Rosanara thought more simply. Count Augusta was closer to the king, and the Augusta family brought more benefits than the king, so why defect?

When His Royal Highness the Great Prince stepped down from the carriage on the red carpet, the two deans actually had a preference in their hearts.

"Mergen Abbey!!"

His Royal Highness the Great Prince had just made up for the history of Mergen Abbey, and he was a little awed in his heart.

At least, this time the performance of the Abbey Knights on the battlefield exceeded expectations.

I remember reading the analysis of the think tank before, saying that the Abbey Knights were just show-offs, with okay training, but almost no combat effectiveness.

He really wanted to shout the battle report to the faces of those experts, so that they could see what it meant to have almost no combat effectiveness.

So this time, he paid special attention to the knights on duty.

Sure enough, they were tall and straight, and they all looked very energetic.

Of course, he was also dissatisfied. The eyes of these Abbey knights looking at him were too calm, just like looking at an ordinary person.

"If we can win over the Abbey Knights, we can have more capital in the future."

His Royal Highness the Great Prince was calculating in his heart, smiling and waiting for the people of Mergen Abbey to greet him.

Dean Massimo stepped forward and paid respect to the prince.

"Your Excellency the Duke, welcome."

"Dean Massimo, you're welcome. I brought my father here to comfort the knights of the monastery. I heard that the knights performed very bravely on the battlefield to exterminate the heretics."

"Indeed, the knights did not dishonor the glory of God."

"Thank God, so my father is going to award a group of knights with outstanding performance, fiefdoms and medals. I wonder if the dean can provide a list?"

His Royal Highness the Prince was smiling. It seemed that His Majesty the King was a devout believer and was willing to sacrifice his land for the war to exterminate the heretics.

In fact, if Melgen Abbey recognizes it, how should the developed territory be calculated?

"Forget it, the knights of God don't need any external possessions." Dean Massimo refused without hesitation. The knights of the monastery did not have the tradition of fiefdom, but there was no fiefdom to receive.

Of course, he saw the king's sinister intentions. If he really wanted to issue an edict, it wouldn't be the king's turn. There was plenty of land in Melgen Province.

The eldest prince was not angry after being rejected. If he really agreed, it would be an unexpected surprise. If he didn't agree, it would be normal.

“The knight of God is indeed pious and admirable.

It's just a worldly thing, the medal must be accepted. "

Logically speaking, Dean Massimo had no reason to refuse.

After all, Monta Province is the kingdom's land, and it should be sold to save face.

Even if he does not fall in favor of the royal family, there is no reason to refuse.

But he hesitated before reluctantly agreeing.

The eldest prince was satisfied. This was just a pretext. Only after taking it did he have reason to communicate further.
