W-?

George blinked, skeptical of his ears for a moment.

He looked at the Earl of Trois-Rivières beside him, and found that the other party was also at a loss - for a moment, all the nobles looked similar to Guy's, and there was no one in the hall who responded to what should have been explosive news.

This...... It wasn't planned!

Could it be that the Earl of Delta had been persuaded in advance by Roland Wimbledon?

He shifted his gaze to the Lord of Chishui City, but the answer was no—the Count's reaction was not much calmer than theirs, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the new king. Apparently, when he set up this dinner and invited the people over, he did not know that the new king would do this.

For Delta, a visit to Lakeside Hills was just a customary banquet.

The others also attended the banquet as usual.

This is just a unilateral action by Roland!

He...... Crazy?

"I think many of you already know that the system of separations seriously hinders the flow and differentiation of people, and thus restricts the development of productive forces. Considering the Grey Castle...... Humanity is about to fall into a great crisis, and I have to make the difficult decision to reclaim all the land and power so that the Grey Castle people can act with the same will. ”

Personnel Division, Productivity, The Great Crisis? George swallowed, what the hell is this guy talking about? Who knows these things!

However, the new king did not seem to care about their thoughts, and continued as if no one was around, "For the time being, this decision is correct and necessary. The disappearance of the feudal aristocracy did not lead to the loss of order, but rather to a more orderly situation, and the unified decrees, planning, and deployment led to the gradual transformation of productivity from small workshops in the family tradition to large factories, and at the same time to give birth to a great deal of wealth, and the people who actively participated in it were very profitable, which is an indisputable fact, and I think you can see the results. ”

"I don't say this to uproot the nobility as a group, but to tell you that the loss of fiefs and titles does not mean that there is nothing left. Under the new system, you will be given more opportunities – just like a cake, if it is the size of a palm, even if you swallow it all, you will only be satisfied. But if you can make it the size of a table, even if you eat only one corner, you can be satisfied. Since change is good for both parties, it is not difficult to understand that it will be rolled out across the board...... Many of you already know about this, right?"

There are indeed many nobles who know your intentions, but I didn't expect you to be so acute, George's mind was racing. After the initial surprise passed, he gradually calmed down and was surprised to find that this unplanned change was not a bad thing, but a very good thing for him!

With so many nobles present, it was almost impossible to reach an agreement, which stimulated the conflict in advance, which also saved him the effort to build momentum after taking the castle. After all, this move was too direct than convincing the Lord of Chishui City to act again, and it was easy to push even those who would have fallen to Count Delta to his side.

Sure enough, after the nobles came to their senses, someone had already spoken, "Your Majesty...... I don't know much about the specific situation in the northwest and the northwest, can you let me think about it for a few days before giving you an answer?"

"Yes, this kind of thing is too important, I still have several relatives, and I can't be the master alone. ”

"Your Majesty, can you guarantee that each of us will receive more wealth?"

"If the change fails, and we don't have a fief, won't it mean that the original cake will be lost?"

"Your policy is definitely a wise move, but ...... I'm not a businessman, Your Majesty!"

That's right, that's it, George secretly rejoiced in his heart, the more doubters, the more his foresight would be reflected, and if the new king couldn't make a final decision, he would only be in a dilemma!

I saw that Roland still maintained his original expression, waiting for everyone to gossip before raising his hand and suppressing the noisy discussion, "You seem to be mistaken, what I said is not a suggestion, but an order from the king - do you bargain here as if it were a commodity on a container?" I don't even need your promises, I know exactly who will stand in the chariot of the times and go with me, and who will become the stubborn rock that blocks the wheels and is crushed into powder. ”

"You...... How do you know?" said Count Delta.

The smile on Roland's face grew, "Because I can see through people's hearts." ”

"What did you say?"

"It's normal to be suspicious in the face of something beyond comprehension," Roland turned to Edith to signal, "In that case, I'll show you how to do it." ”

The Northland Pearl nodded and smiled at the nobles, "Your Majesty's ability is easy to prove, as long as you repeat what I said next, you will immediately understand that there is no lie to hide under the mind-contemplation technique - the reason why the Wimbledon line can become the ruler of the Grey Keep is precisely because of this ability." But there's one thing I have to say first, and if you don't repeat it, you'll have to treat it as a crushed stone. ”

Farce, this is a farce! George Narry sneered in his heart, there is no such thing as mind-seeing, and it would be more credible if it were a witch. However, he still wears the Stone of Divine Punishment in his arms, and he is not afraid of being bewitched by demonic powers.

Although he wanted to call on everyone to resist this farce, he found that few nobles in the crowd objected, and it could be seen from the expressions of everyone that it was not that many people believed this statement, but that it was okay to wait for Edith to speak. I don't know if they want to see the joke of the new king, or if they don't want to offend the other party completely.

Edith raised the corners of her mouth, "Please listen, the first sentence is - I fully agree with His Majesty Roland's new policy, and I am willing to actively cooperate with the officials sent by Neverwinter. ”

The nobles followed along with disapproval, and a few of them couldn't help but chuckle, apparently thinking the move was rather funny.

"No one is telling the truth," Roland quickly answered, "although there are some regrets, but it is normal, if it were me, it is probably not so easy to convince a king who has been staying in the border area of Grey Keep all year round." Please continue. ”

Wait a minute...... Something was wrong, George frowned, could there really be a king who would accept this calmly? He himself was the lord of Panshi Ridge, even if he knew that not every lord obeyed him from the bottom of his heart, he still didn't want to hear the other party say this with his own ears. Shouldn't you feel embarrassed and irritated at such times, and why is Roland Wimbledon so calm?

"The second sentence - although I don't understand what His Majesty wants to do, but the right to divide the feud is not a must, as long as those opportunities to expand wealth do exist, I am willing to give it a try. Edith nodded her lips and said brightly, "Come, please make sure you make it clear word by word!"
