Quietly sipping tea, Aubury couldn't help but look at Don again.

After drinking the tea that Tang En took out, this black tea imported from the Solant Kingdom was completely tasteless......

Noticing Auberry's gaze, Don was speechless, but he still took out a leaf from the World Tree.

"Your Majesty Victor, when we meet for the first time, this tea will be used as a welcome gift."

Tang En casually poured out the Solant Kingdom black tea in the teapot, then put the tea leaves in, rubbed some water and poured it in and started to make tea directly.

The corners of Victor's eyes jumped, as a bitter king, basically all the money he earned was posted to the army, and even he was reluctant to drink the black tea imported from the Solant Kingdom, but Tang En actually poured it out casually......

He was distressed......

Having said that, it is really rare in the world to mix up a king who is as bitter as him.

When Victor smelled the refreshing fragrance of tea, the entanglement in his heart disappeared immediately, just the wisp of tea fragrance that leaked out made him extremely intoxicated, and every inch of flesh and blood in his body was trembling with excitement.

"Father, I-you!?"

Aurelia pushed the door in, but at a glance she saw Don standing there, and immediately glared, and wanted to be angry at him, but the next moment she controlled her emotions and showed a sweet smile: "Isn't this Baron Don, it's really rare." ”

"Good afternoon, Princess Aurelia, you are as beautiful as ever."

Don put down the teapot and scratched his head, looking at Aurelia with a feeling of incomprehension.

At that moment, he seemed to feel a very strong ...... Resentment?

"Thank you, Baron Donne, for the compliment."

Hey? Why does Princess Aurelia have a feeling that she doesn't smile? Is she angry?

"Ollie."

Victor took a deep breath of the aroma: "Go get some good refreshments." ”

"Okay. Father. ”

Aurelia obediently withdrew.

"Baron Don, just now I wondered why you said that this tea is a greeting gift, but now I understand."

Victor stared at the teapot, "Can you tell me?" What is this piece of tea? ”

"Leaves, to be exact."

Tang En smiled and said, "It's the leaves of the World Tree." ”

"It's the leaves of the World Tree!"

Victor was startled, and Aubury and Adrien stood up, dumbfounded.

"How did you get it!? Wait a minute! You still have so many crescent moon wines before, do you really have a deal with the elves!? ”

"That's pretty much the same thing."

Tang En said a little proudly, "My wife is from the elf clan. ”

[Shameless! 】

Nora, who was sitting on top of Don's head watching the play, heard the words and pulled Donn's hair vigorously: "I'm going to tell Egwin! 】

[Be good, don't make a mess. 】

Don silently comforted Nora. They didn't notice how much shock his words had brought to Victor and them.

"You—You have a wife!?"

Aubery was furious: "Then you dare to provoke Elsa!?" You bastard! ”

Adrien played a round and said, "Man, it's normal to be a little merry......"

"You bastard! Are you showing off your old flame Vanessa?! ”

"Why don't I ...... I mean, that's exciting news! ”

Victor changed his words: "With the bond of Baron Don. In the future, our Ilrus Empire may have a good relationship with the elves. ”

"I do my best."

A moment later, Aurelia returned with refreshments.

"Green tea crisp, salted cheese, apple pie...... Please! Slow! Use! ”

Aurelia placed the refreshments in front of Don and them.

Although Aurelia was smiling. But Don always felt a chill in the back of his neck. There seems to be a strange, resentful feeling all the time......

Delusion?

Aurelia put down her things and was about to leave.

Don said, "Princess Aurelia should also stay and drink tea, which is a tea made from the leaves of the World Tree, and the lady can drink it to make her skin fairer, more elastic, and more youthful." ”

"Oh? Since it's such a precious thing, I can't miss it. ”

Aurelia sat gracefully across from Donne, her eyes fixed on Don all the time, making Don uncomfortable.

Soon he divided the tea, and several people began to taste the tea.

The tea soup has just been put into the mouth. Aurelia was conquered in an instant.

What does it feel like?

Like clouds, like fog. The heat rolls and jumps on the tongue, and the fresh fragrance explodes in the mouth, bursting through the nasal cavity and straight into the mind.

When the tea was swallowed into her stomach, the surging life force mixed with the tea soup turned into a hot stream and dispersed, Aurelia could feel every inch of her skin trembling, and an electric current rushed from the tail vertebrae to her mind, spreading quickly throughout her body, and the rich life force even expanded the magic pool in her body a few points because of this.

There was silence in the study for a while, Victor, Aurelia, and Adrien were all immersed in the wonderful taste, only Aubery, who had tasted it before, was more sober, and took advantage of their intoxication to pour himself a few more glasses.

It's a rare good thing, and a few more drinks can prolong his life, and he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to sit and wait for Don to pour him tea - he has to take the initiative when something good happens.

Cheek?

Excuse me, but what's cheekiness? Can I eat it?

So, when Victor and the others came to their senses and wanted to have another drink, they found that Obery was already burping with his stomach in his hands.

In desperation, Don began to make tea again.

After three rounds of tea, seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Tang En curled the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "I don't know...... Do you want to get rich? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Aubury didn't expect Don to go straight in.

Victor was also stunned: "Rich? ”

"How to get rich?"

As a habitual offender, Aurelia is particularly sensitive to the word "fortune", and her eyes immediately lit up. Noticing Don En's surprised eyes, she hurriedly said, "I mean, I'm curious too. ”

"That's right. Your Majesty Victor, your power, the prestige of the Grand Duke of Aubery and the Grand Duke of Adrian, plus my promotion plan," Don stretched out his right hand and shook it hard: "As long as you trust me, I am sure that you will all make a lot of money!" ”

Of course, Don added silently in his heart. I deserve to take the big head.

"What about me!? What about me!? ”

Aurelia's eyes widened.

"Uh......"

Tang En sneered, "Princess, you just need to support His Majesty Victor. ”

Shh This bastard......

Aurelia secretly despises Donn, which is clearly discriminatory against women!

Victor asked very dryly, "What's the plan?" ”

"That is, Your Majesty Victor. Are you interested? ”

"Of course."

Victor smiled silently, as an insider, of course he had to follow the son of God, even if he really couldn't get along and died. You can also be summoned by the goddess to the kingdom of God to enjoy happiness.

"What about the two of you?"

Aubury and Adrien looked at each other: "Of course I'm interested." ”

His Majesty Victor followed. The two of them are royalty, so of course they have to follow.

"Before you do that, you have to promise to lend me five million gold coins."

Tang En smiled brightly: "Of course, I will return it to you after a while." ”

"Five Million Gold Coins......

Victor was speechless, and after discussing it with Aubury, Victor said, "I'll take out three million." One and a half million in Aubury, five hundred thousand in Adrien. ”

Facing the triumphant Aubury, Adrien clenched his fists. What a shame this is......

Even Don was surprised, he didn't expect Grand Duke Adrien's economy to be so tense.

"Thank you. So let me explain my plan...... Of course, you may not understand it now, but you just need to remember it. ”

Tang En coughed lightly, stood up and said solemnly: "Let me ask you first, what is the most important thing in the current Plandal, or in other words, the current Illuth Empire, that is, our society?" ”

A simple question, but it left Victor dumbfounded and unable to answer.

The main thing is that the people of Plandal have never thought about this question, so there is no way to answer it.

“…… Strength? ”

Obury asked tentatively, "Where there is power, there is everything—almost everything." ”

Adrien nodded approvingly.

"Kingship?"

After Victor finished speaking, he shook his head: "Theocracy? ”

Aurelia frowned, Don must have meant something to ask this question, but ...... What's most important? It's too general, and the most important thing is different for everyone.

For a couple, the most important thing is definitely the child, for a person who is dying of hunger, the most important thing is definitely the next meal, and for a businessman on the verge of bankruptcy, the most important thing is, of course, the gold coins......

Aurelia frowned and said, "This is a question with no standard answer. ”

Don waved his fingers: "What's the most important?" Strength? Royalty? Theocratic? No, it's neither. Ollie—"

"Baron Donne! Pay attention to what you call it! ”

Aurelia was a little embarrassed: "Who allowed you to call me that!" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Don apologized insincerely, and then continued: "Princess Aurelia, you are thinking too one-sidedly and not macro enough, and my question is what is the most important thing for this society. ”

There was silence in the room again.

"At the moment, the most important thing for this society is people. Don't rush to contradict me, I'll explain. ”

Don waved his hand, interrupting Aurelia's words, "Why human?" Because everything now requires manpower to solve, transport, plant, breed, mine, cast, produce...... Yes, no matter what it is, it needs manpower to solve it, but people need to eat, so to put it bluntly, what is really important to this society at the moment is actually food. ”

"However, grain is a very time-sensitive thing, because it will mold and spoil, it cannot be stored, so it cannot be a measure of national strength and wealth."

"Thus, manpower became a symbol of the wealth of the great aristocracy, and having more tenant farmers and slaves was equivalent to having more wealth."

Victor: They all nodded in agreement when they heard this.

"Well, here's the interesting thing."

Tang En smiled wickedly: "Suppose, what represents the advanced productive forces of this society is no longer manpower, but a brand-new force that can be controlled by manpower...... So what does it mean to be the first to grasp this power resource? ”

As the king, Victor's mind is of course sharper, and Don is just a little bit of a dial, and he instantly understands Done's intentions.

Victor's breath suddenly shortened: "Baron Don, do you mean-"

The proud Don didn't notice Victor's title, he opened his arms and proudly announced: "Your Majesty Victor, Princess Aurelia, and the two Dukes, rejoice, you will witness the dawn of a new era!" ”

"I will bring a new era to this world!"

"An era that belongs to the Magic Crystal!" (To be continued.) )
