Norman and Dairic arrived at the Earl’s Office at noon, and before they knew it, it was getting dark outside. Finally, the church bell rang 7.
It’s already 7 o’clock, and it’s already nightfall.
"Count, dinner is ready."
The housekeeper also came in at the moment.
"It’s so late."
Billy looked away from the chessboard in front of him, looked out of the window, looked back at Norman, and invited him with a kind smile, "Allen, stay and have dinner with me."
Norman hurriedly should "is the earl’s adult"
So several people got up and left the room to eat in the restaurant on the first floor.
Although the Earl’s Office is not large, the meal still reflects the status of the noble earl of Count Billy-Norman never knew that the meal procedure was so complicated before today!
At first, Norman ate a salted snail, thinking that there was not enough food for such a small amount of food. Unexpectedly, after eating, there was a fresh milk clam soup, and this soup was not finished. Then there was another tartar juice to take sturgeon.
Norman, isn’t this over? As a result, I didn’t expect to come to the sauce to roast the steak before I finished eating, and then I returned the mixed vegetable salad and the three-color feather egg caramel pudding …
This dinner was an eye-opener for Norman, who didn’t know what life was like in big noble until today.
And for the first time, Norman didn’t understand the table manners. During the meal, he inadvertently made some jokes, which seemed a bit rude, but Dairic helped to speak at this moment.
"The count’s adult Mr. Allen has just arrived in Nicolo from a remote village. He doesn’t know much about some manners …"
However, Billy didn’t get angry and nodded to show that he had been looking at it cheerfully since he knew it. It seemed that Norman’s rudeness was more attractive than table food. In addition, he also explained a table manners to Norman from time to time, and even a fool could see that he had a good sense of Norman.
Those earth wizards naturally saw all this through Norman’s eyes.
“666666666”
"Lan Taifu, if he was born in ancient times, he would not be worse than He Shen. He is definitely a great courtier."
"This first impression score looks terrible. You can get such a good impression in one afternoon. Dr. Lan’s flattery skill has been practiced to the full level."
"This horse pat embellish fine technical content is really cow force but I don’t think it makes sense? Isn’t this count a little miserable? Look at this room, although it’s not bad, it’s a bit shabby to match the earl’s status. It seems that there is no point in hugging the earl’s thigh like this. "
"No matter how shabby the family is, the Grand Duke of Franciscan is inherited. Maybe he will inherit the title of Grand Duke, and then he will be the anchor of the emperor of Franciscan territory, and the red man in front of him will immediately prosper."
"I think this guy is a waste plaything."
"Waste is good, maybe you can learn from Cao Cao and help him to go, and then you can make the princes hold the sky. I guess Lan Taifu thinks so, too."
……
Norman listened to the words of these earth wizards.
In fact, he thinks, as some magicians say, that Count Billy is doing badly, and it seems that he can’t get much benefit from hugging his thigh. However, since Lancelot decided to do so, the Knights Templar must have their reasons. Now he is looking forward to eating this meal quickly and asking Lancelot what he thinks after leaving here.
Chapter one hundred and fifty-one Ambition
Norman left the Earl’s Office and didn’t get a chance to ask Lancelot because Dairic was sitting next to him.
He glanced at Dairic, a short boy, looking forward with his head sideways, absorbed as if there was a wonderful drama playing there.
They are now heading to Mannheim, where a light is hanging from the roof of the carriage, which makes the scenery of the carriage dim and no one speaks. The atmosphere is quiet.
Norman looked ahead along Dairic’s line of sight and saw that there was nothing in the carriage with the door closed.
I don’t know what this guy is looking at.
Norman heart secretly condescension 1 suddenly heard Dairic spoke.
"Allen"
Norman smell speech at Dairic.
The two of them are sitting face to face, one person sitting at the same time. At this moment, we can see that Dairic has straightened his head and is looking at Norman.
"Count Billy likes you very much"
Norman nodded and didn’t know whether to give Dairic a smile or give him a modest expression, so he couldn’t decide for a while, so he had a good expression.
However, Dairic went on to say, "That’s good. There are some things I came to say to you slowly, but now that the count likes you so much, I think maybe I should tell you beforehand."
"As you know, Count Billy is the Grand Duke of Roberts. He is inherited by the Grand Duke, but the Earl’s adult is not at all concerned about this matter. The Master Bella has told him many times, but the Earl’s adult is always superficial, and now the Master Bella has been dealing with it for a long time, but the Earl Carlo doesn’t need to deal with it …"
As Dairic slowly came to Norman, he finally got to know about the situation of Count Billy.
To put it simply, the Earl of Billy is not concerned about the succession of the Grand Duke, but Bella and Dairic are very concerned about it. Bella is a red-robed mage with a good living environment. Don’t always run around and search for talents. Dairic has been sleeping all night.
Now Dairic is talking to Norman, hoping that Norman will take this opportunity to win the favor of Count Billy and get in touch with Billy more and guide the topic so that Billy can pay more attention to business and do more things to show the Grand Duke that he should stop indulging in chess, wine parties and other entertainment activities all day.
It’s no wonder that Dairic was so arrogant when he found Norman today.
But now his attitude is soft and approachable. Many people are obviously afraid of Norman Billy after his status has risen, and they want something from Norman. This is what it is, and it is also flexible
In the face of Dairic charged Norman freely cope with "good" heart is thought of his bird.
He can’t get away from it, but it makes Dairic feel comfortable. Norman is arrogant because he doesn’t favor him. This seems to him to be a very good comrade
So the momentum of the minister of Fuzheng came out again, pulling Norman all the way to show the country, from the comments of Duke Roberts’ eldest son to the comments of his third son, and his mouth was not very good. In the end, it turned out that this waste Si Er Billy had the greatest hope of inheriting the title
Dairic’s ass listen to all know how divorced from reality, and the logical analysis made Norman feel deeply impressed. It is also rare to be blind to this extent. Of course, it will not be shown all the way. It was only when Dairic talked about the fact that Count Billy inherited the title and became a grand duke that the carriage finally arrived in Mannheim.
This carriage is not allowed to enter the Mannheim carriage in the Dairic family, and both of them can walk to the dormitory on foot.
Norman listened to Dairic reprimanding Fang Qiu again all the way, and finally they walked to the dormitory area. Only then did they get a quiet and finally talked to Lancelot, and asked their doubts. They wanted to know Lancelot’s thoughts, but Lancelot didn’t answer his questions but told the story.
"Our earth world once had a grand duke named Cao Cao …"
Lancelot told the story of the vassal who held the sky in his arms. Norman listened to it and finally hesitated and asked, "Do you want me to learn from Cao Cao?"
"yes"
Norman heart is very shocked.
Lancelot wants him to be a grand duke? !
It doesn’t seem difficult for Norman to take this step, just like Count Billy. Norman feels that he can handle him without the help of the Templar, but the key is that it is too difficult to make Count Billy a grand duke!
Dairic just gave him an analysis of the other three sons of the Grand Duke. Although there is a tendency in Dairic’s words that the three sons are worthless, we can still see how big the gap between Count Billy and these three brothers is from some factual data.
Let’s talk about followers. What are the followers of Count Billy’s brothers? They are either the financial department chief or the general of Nicaro City Guard? According to Dairic’s words, there are probably three people, Bella, him and Dairic, one wandering around in red robes and two learning black robes in Mannheim. What is the comparability with others?
The strength contrast is too wide.
Even no matter how followers talk about themselves, Count Billy has no advantage at all.
Billy is an ordinary man, neither a mage nor a knight, and according to what Dairic just said, his brothers are all black wizards! There is also a big gap.
Not to mention that Billy is busy playing chess and picking up girls all day, and his brothers are always "intrigued" (in Dairic), which is also very different from each other.
No matter how you look at it, Count Billy wants to stand out from these boys, there is no chance of winning. Norman is very disdainful and casual about Dairic’s nonsense. He never thought about helping Billy fight for any title, but he didn’t expect Lancelot to think so.
"This is impossible!"
Norman said that the plan was not reliable, and combined what Dairic revealed with his own thoughts to make Lancelot realize how low the possibility of success of this idea was, but those disadvantages were not as bad as he thought.
"Followers are too strong, sometimes it is not a good thing. Now, does the Grand Duke have no idea when he sees that their followers occupy those important positions? Especially the second son who is close to the general of the city guards. Didn’t the Grand Duke worry that he couldn’t wait to usurp his throne one day? Compared with this, Count Billy is the most reassuring to the Grand Duke. "
