Chapter 207: Preparing for a Rainy Day (Part 1)
Two days later, the ironclad fleet arrived at Parrot Island.
The soldiers began to unload the supplies from the ship, there were a lot of things, and the surviving soldiers of Vendôme, all the young men from Alpine Town, nearly three thousand in all, carried back and forth a dozen times before it was completed.
By the time all the qiē was laid and everyone went to rest tiredly, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.
It was during this night that Horn quietly went out and felt his way to the cabin where Rollin was resting. (There is a castle on Parrot Island, but it has not been cleared out, and Rollin and the others still live on the ship).
He knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened, and Rollin didn't light the light, but let Horn in by the moonlight, and when he closed the door again, he smiled, "We're waiting for you." ”
Horn was stunned, turned his head to look at the room, but saw that in addition to Luo Lin, there was one more person in this room, and it turned out to be the ** teacher Vianna.
"This?" He had come to Rollin to discuss his plans for the future, and his idea would not be of much benefit to Lord Vendôme, and if Vianna, the guardian of Vendôme, heard it, he would probably upset her.
Vianna was wearing an ordinary dress at this time, and under the moonlight, her face looked even paler, obviously her body had not fully recovered, she just sat quietly, with a faint smile on her face, and the moonlight was draped over her for 5 ≈, covering her with a dreamy veil, extremely elegant, beautiful and incomprehensible, Rao is Horn's heart was calm, and he was also stunned.
Rollin didn't think it was strange, he patted Horn on the shoulder and said, "Vianna is not a narrow-minded person, just say what you think." In the future, as long as it is my business, I will not hide it from her. ”
Vianna also smiled: "When Rollin called me to come." I'm not quite convinced you're coming. But it turns out. He knows you better than I do. ”
Horn regained his composure, he spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Your Excellency, to be honest, what I came here to say is only beneficial to Rollin, but it is useless for Vendôme's re-rise, I just hope you don't blame it after listening to it." ”
"Rollin is a dear friend of mine. Since it is beneficial to him, then no matter what is built. I wouldn't mind. Vianna smiled softly.
Horn was reassured that rumors abound in Vendôme about the kindness of the Guardian Vianna, and now it seems that the rumors are true.
"Come, sit, sit down." Rollin Road.
After the three of them sat down, Horn sorted out his thoughts a little and then spoke: "Lord, what are you going to do with this wealth on Parrot Island?" ”
Morally speaking, this wealth naturally has the youngest son of the previous lord of Primor, Cadero. Primo inheritance. But this wealth is simply too large to be converted into gold coins. I'm afraid of tens of millions.
But such a huge amount of money is owned by a child who is just five years old, and everyone will have a little idea in their hearts.
Regarding this, Rollin considered all kinds of entanglements of interests, and had a plan in mind, but it was not easy to say, he had to look at the opinions of all parties first. Now, he is no longer alone, he is a lord, he has many followers, and he can no longer go his own way.
However, Vianna did mention a Jianyì, and he repeated: "I haven't thought about it yet. However, His Excellency gave a guarantee that the wealth would be owned by Carrod. Primo inheritance, as these are the property of the Primmore family. And as the greatest contributor to the salvation of this property, I can get a very good reward. ”
Doing so is very much in line with the moral norms of the Starlight Continent.
Vianna nodded as well, reassuring, "I can guarantee that Rollin's reward will be very, very rich. ”
Horn nodded in agreement with Vianna's words, and from Lord Primor's point of view, she was okay to do this, but it wasn't necessarily good for Rollin.
He was only loyal to Rollin, he treated Rollin as a close friend, and only thought about his interests, and the Lord of Primor, whom he had never met in person, was nothing to him.
Thinking of Vianna, Horn said thoughtfully: "Your Excellency, it is understandable that you are doing this. I also believe that Lord Primmore will be very generous. But I have a question, that is, will the young Lord Primo be able to keep this great fortune? ”
The answer is obvious, how can a six-year-old child keep this huge wealth like a mountain of gold, he must be deceived by others, and the wealth is gradually taken away by others.
"I will continue to fulfill my vow of guardianship. Twenty-five years are still before the three-hundred-year period, which should be enough for Carol to grow. Vianna spoke.
Horn shook his head, and his words were extremely sharp: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, Your Excellency, your strength is indeed very strong, but many things in this world cannot be solved by strength alone, and although you are a legendary powerhouse, your strength is not strong enough." I'll give you an example, this time, the city of Surat received a large number of refugees from Vendôme, and if the Grand Duke of Lehman asked the lord of Primo to pay a large amount of asylum money, to pay it, or not to pay it? ”
Vianna fell silent for a moment, with her understanding of the nature of the human race, of course she knew that this fee had to be paid, and if she didn't pay it, she would give Archduke Lehman an excuse, and he might even send troops to crusade, in other words, openly rob it.
The Duchy of Lehman is also as strong as a forest, and there is no shortage of legendary powerhouses, the most powerful of which is the Red Moon Sword Saint Palason.
This Sword Saint is one of the Three Saints of the Terran Race, and his strength has reached the legendary level, even if Vianna is confident, she knows that she is not Parason's opponent.
If the two sides do go to war, she will end up falling.
But if they pay the asylum fee, Grand Duke Lehman will definitely think that they can be bullied, and they will definitely gain an inch in the future, and it will not be a good thing in the future.
The current shape is very simple, Lord Primo has a huge amount of wealth, but he has no foundation, and has become the object of everyone's deception.
The reason for this is very simple, and Vianna understands it after a little thought.
And if Rollin accepts the reward, it means that he admits that he is still a vassal of Lord Primor, and then he must protect the young Lord Primor. But obviously, the current Rollin does not have this power.
So Horn continued: "Your Excellency, I think you have also figured it out. So I came here to give up my lord the title of Lord of Alpine Town, to renounce the reward, and then to pledge allegiance to the Grand Duke of Lehman. ”
He meant it clearly. It's basically no good to follow Lord Prima now. There is no need to fight for this wealth that is destined to be unkept. It is better to completely dissociate themselves from it, choose another monarch, and develop anew.
Anyway, with Luo Lin's current strength, no matter who he turns to, he will be greatly welcomed, and there is absolutely no reason to be turned away.
It was indeed built solely for Rollin, and Rollin did that. No one can blame him, because what he has done for the Primmore family is enough to repay the favor.
In the Starlight Continent, the relationship between the lord and the vassal is equal, but there is no such thing as a vassal who must follow the lord to death, and thunder, rain and dew are all bastards of Jun En.
Hearing this, Vianna admitted that she had some anger in her heart, but this anger quickly dissipated, sighed, and turned to look at Rollin: "Then what is your opinion of Rollin?" ”
"Horn's idea is good." Rollin nodded.
"Rollin...... All right. There's nothing wrong with you doing that. Vianna nodded gloomily, yes. She wasn't in a position to ask him for anything, he had done enough for her, for Lord Primor.
"But Horn, you're missing something. I will go to Archduke Lehman, but not alone. Rollin turned to look at Vianna: "I'm building yì, Cadero. Primo also went to seek refuge with Archduke Lehman, and the wealth on the island was used as a greeting gift. ”
In his previous life, after Lord Primo escaped from Vendôme, he must have also thought about standing on his own feet and rising again, but in the end he went to seek refuge with the Grand Duke of Lehman, which is not unreasonable.
Sitting on great wealth without the corresponding power is a sin in itself, and Lord Primo is sober. And this is Rollin's own plan.
Vianna instinctively refused, because this was equivalent to giving away the inheritance of the Primo family, but after thinking about it, if she didn't do this, when there was a conflict in the future, Parrot Island would be besieged and ransacked, maybe even the life of Lord Primo would not be saved, how could she rise again?
She is not a tangled person, she just thought into a dead end before, and when she figured it out, she sighed: "It's that I thought it was simple before, and I was greedy." Rollin, you're right, we must take refuge in Archduke Lehman. ”
"It's a must, Vianna. And it won't be too fast, with you, the Primo family can at least maintain a considerable part of their wealth. Archduke Lehman would not have persecuted too much. I think that if he took refuge, Cardeiro would have at least one county. And I will always follow you. Luo Lin smiled, for him, territory and wealth are not the first, the most important thing is always the woman in front of him.
Moreover, Rollin also has his own considerations, although he loves Vianna, but a manly man, standing in the world, of course, has to do a great career.
But his background is too low, this is a hard injury, and his merits are too little, it is difficult to gain the refuge of those nobles, and if he continues to follow the lord of Primor, using his power, he will immediately gain the allegiance of the old family of Primor, and these allegiances are definitely loyal. In the near future, when the orcs make a comeback, the Destroy Miè Sect sets off a tide of undead, and summons a demon army to disrupt the continent, he may not be able to do a great job.
Etc. Cardeiro. When Lord Prima grows up, if he is lucky enough to be alive, then he will definitely be one of the strongest in the continent, with a solid foundation. At that time, even if he is willing to continue to be loyal to the Primo family, I am afraid that the other party will not dare to accept it.
Hearing this, Horn sighed in his heart: "Hey, I knew it would be like this. ”
To tell the truth, there is no shortage of wealth with the declining Primmore family, but the future is difficult to say, and it will definitely be suspicious of Archduke Lehman everywhere, and it will be restricted everywhere in the future, not to talk about the rise of the Primmore family, it must take a lot of effort to maintain this wealth, it is simply thankless.
But he also knew that he would follow Rollin all the way, and now that he had made his choice, he would follow it to the end.
Vianna was stunned for a moment, then a big smile bloomed on her face, and her starry eyes sparkled with joy and peace.
At this moment, she felt very lucky and contented, and all her previous rational thoughts, such as fearing that Rollin would fall into darkness and go astray, had been left behind by her.
Maybe one day, when Rollin really fell into darkness, she would follow without hesitation. (To be continued......)
