Compared with a few months ago, the eldest prince is less perverse and more calm. The change of the role of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info the change of identity, naturally, will bring about a change in temperament.

When he saw Beta, he smiled condescendingly, and the king's arrogance burst out: "It's been a long time, Your Excellency Beta, I heard that you are doing a good job in Bronze Drum City. ”

"It's been a long time, Prince." Beta slowly stepped forward and said with a smile, "You're getting more and more energetic." ”

"Hahaha." The eldest prince let out a hearty laugh: "Now everyone calls me Your Majesty, and only you still call me the eldest prince, which is quite interesting." Lord Beta, is there something you can satisfy my curiosity? ”

Beta was a little strange: "As the future king, you should know everything, Prince, I have nothing to fill your unfathomable valley of curiosity." ”

"It's not a big deal." The eldest prince's face was a little teasing: "I just want to know, you and the little sister, where have you and the little sister come to?" If it has reached the point where you can talk about marriage, I can officiate the wedding ceremony for you as the officiant. ”

It is a very face-saving thing for a king to be the officiant. For some of the most reverent of kingship, the word 'glory' can even be used as a commentary. Beta understands that this is a gesture of favor from the eldest prince, and as the so-called courtesy to others, there must be something to ask for, which is exactly the same as Beta's guess before he came.

Beta smiled: "Prince, you seem to have something that I need to do, just say it, I'm not good at roundabout conversations." ”

"It's still that straightforward." The eldest prince waved his hand disappreciatively: "I'm not joking about the little sister's matter, but it's important now." I did run into some trouble, not long ago, the emissary I sent to the Frost Star Country, disappeared. And now that my coronation is approaching, if the news can't reach the Frost Star Country, and if the Frost Star Country doesn't send an envoy to congratulate him, it will make us very shameless. ”

The Frost Star Country is the ally of Hollevin, and the coronation ceremony of the eldest prince, if there is no envoy from the Allied countries, it is indeed unreasonable.

Beta thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go to the Frost Star Country, you have to go through Udabri...... The envoys are missing in the country of Udaburi. ”

"That's true." The eldest prince nodded: "Under normal circumstances, even if it is a hostile country, it cannot do anything to the envoy group, this is the rule set by all races. But this time Udabri not only did it, but did it unconsciously...... Just as the envoys were about to enter the kingdom of Udaburi, the envoys disappeared without a trace. Because the envoys have disappeared from our borders, we don't even have a reason to question them. ”

"The pass north of Tonggu Town has been resisting the attack of Udaburi for more than 300 years, and it is also the only place we must pass through when we go to Udaburi. The envoy group disappeared near the northern pass of Tonggu Town? Beta asked, confused.

The eldest prince nodded: "It should be around there." Ever since Glynton went to the Elven Forest, Udabri in the north has been a little nervous. ”

"Then you don't have to worry." Beta laughed, "Alice, Glinton's daughter, is completely capable of taking over his father's military duties. Although her personal ability and strength are not as strong as Glinton's, if used in military warfare, she is more threatening than Glinton. ”

The eldest prince said with some admiration: "I know this, elven summoner, the bloodline of the Glinton family is really good, I really want him to give us a little bit of the royal family." ”

Alice is not only a half-elf, but also a powerful professional, and now she has become a master powerhouse at a young age...... After the news came out, almost all aristocratic families were quite interested in her.

Of course, in the country of Hollevon, the girl who loves young men the most is still Emma.

"Although Alice is powerful, her current deterrent power is indeed not as good as Grinton's, after all, she has no real record." Beta said thoughtfully, "The disappearance of the envoys in the north of Tonggu Town may be a test of Udaburi to Tonggu Town. The news of Glinton's trip to the Elven Forest can't be hidden, so they want to know how much color Glinton's successor, Alice, has. The disappearance of the envoys can also kill two birds with one stone to a certain extent. ”

"Your Excellency is indeed very smart, and these things can be understood at a glance." The eldest prince said with admiration: "Even if you are a young nobleman with a political sense and strong strength, you are the only one in the whole Holeiven." ”

Beta waved his hand: "Prince, don't brag about me, so you called me this time to ask me to help you find out where the envoys are missing?" ”

The eldest prince nodded slightly: "This is only one of them, the other is that I hope you can serve as the head of the new round of envoys and help me envoy the Frost Star Cluster." You have to help me deliver the official diplomatic letter to the Froststar King within a month. ”

Beta thought for a moment: "I can be the head of the envoys, but what can I get." ”

"Isn't it too cheesy to talk about remuneration for the sake of the kingdom?" The righteous words on the face of the eldest prince.

Beta smiled, "I'm not your retainer. ”

There is a peculiarity of feudal kingdoms, the lord is essentially one of the masters of the kingdom. The king, on the other hand, is the lord of the unification, or the person who leads the lord, and in essence, he is also a lord, but the title is different.

The relationship between the king and the lord is one of superiority and subordination, not of servant. In normal times, the lord pays taxes to the royal family, obeys the royal family's command, participates in wars, internal affairs, etc., but if the lord feels that some orders of the king are unreasonable, he can refuse.

The eldest prince sighed slightly and said without a mark: "Okay, what reward do you need?" Money, power, or Emma? ”

"I want a 50-year tax exemption on wetlands." Beta said lightly.

"It can't be!" The eldest prince's voice suddenly raised: "Paying taxes is the duty of every lord, and it cannot be changed. ”

Beta said in a calm tone: "But the wetlands are poor and white now, and there are no people, and you can't collect taxes if you want to." It will take me at least 50 years to build a wetland into a proper city. ”

"According to the law of the kingdom, each lord is required to pay a basic tax of two hundred gold coins per year. The commercial and agricultural taxes were paid according to the number of people in the territory. The eldest prince snorted: "This is not a small amount, you want to exempt fifty years of taxes with a word, is it too beautiful." ”

Beta thought for a moment: "Those forty years. ”

"Ten years!" The eldest prince patted the armrest of the throne: "No more." ”

Beta thought for a moment and said, "Thirty years, no more." The development of the territory takes time, and I think the eldest prince should understand it very well. ”

The eldest prince closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said with a gloomy face: "Twenty years, it can't be more." If you don't agree, I'll do it somebody else, like Emma. ”

Beta pretended to sigh: "Okay, twenty years is twenty years, and you can't do anything in twenty years, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and if you can save it, you can save it, I agreed." ”

The eldest prince looked at Beta's fake expression, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be losing money in this business?
