"Prepare the information for the past three months!"
How to deal with the aftermath and arrange the search are all the district chief's business. Downton doesn't care. In fact, he doesn't care whether the assassin can be caught.
Not to mention guys like Downton who have countless enemies, even those big nobles and big businessmen face several assassinations every year. This is the current status of the mainland's political and business circles. If you can't defeat your opponent in a head-on confrontation, then use despicable methods.
means.
It is in this soil that the three major mysterious organizations have grown and developed. It can be said that they survive by sucking the blood of those powerful people.
"Why are you driving us out? We spent money!"
The businessmen and nobles who had been kicked out of the Green Island Hotel stood on the street, blocking the door and reluctant to leave, demanding an explanation.
"The gold coins have been refunded to you in full, and the food, drinks, and box fees have all been waived. As compensation, are you still dissatisfied?"
The hotel owner responded with a cold face.
"Do we lack that much money? We are just here to spend and have fun!"
"Do you know who I am? How dare you kick me out? Believe it or not, I will make your store close down tomorrow?"
"Yes, if you don't give us an explanation today, your store will be destroyed!"
As the most luxurious entertainment venue in the free trade zone, Green Island has a lot of money to spend, and those who can come in and have fun are naturally not just ordinary people.
"When the Duke comes, we naturally have to close the door to thank guests and prepare to welcome him. Is this reason enough?"
The boss is already impatient. The Duke is coming soon, but he still has a lot of things to prepare. If he cannot satisfy the adults, he will be torn apart by the two district chiefs and thrown to the dogs.
"I am also a Duke, so I am afraid of you!"
A middle-aged man yelled. His face was filled with anger. He was hosting a banquet for his business partners today, and now that it was like this, he couldn't enjoy himself, and the business would most likely fail.
"Drive them away!"
The boss was too lazy to talk nonsense anymore and asked the ogre guards on duty outside the hotel to take action.
"If you dare, shoot here. Who are you trying to scare?" The middle-aged man patted his chest and was about to take a few steps forward when he was pulled back by his companion, "What's wrong?"
"Stop it!"
My companion dissuaded me, "You can't afford to offend me!"
"you……"
The middle-aged man wanted to say more, and then he heard the thunk, thunk sound of military boots hitting the floor. The ogres in heavy armor lined up in a row holding dragon spears. They began to advance forward, while the ones behind them took off their weapons.
The crossbow was aimed at the eager guards.
Back off!
Back off!
Back off!
The ogre shouted, full of momentum.
"Is the Duke of Downton here?"
A businessman asked.
"Yes!"
The boss nodded.
"I don't believe they really dare to shoot!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, there was a scream. It was a young man who didn't retreat and was shot through the thigh.
"I, Di Polo, are these guys crazy?"
The middle-aged man looked stunned. "Aren't they afraid of offending these businessmen?"
"Now it's businessmen who make money from the free trade zone. We won't come. There are other businessmen, don't talk about it, get out of the way. You are not from the north. I don't know that the Frankfurt Army is the last one to be provoked. These soldiers are loyal to Downton."
Duke. As long as he gives the order, even if he is facing the powerful dragon army, he will dare to charge head-on!"
The companion used force on his hands and pulled the middle-aged man aside.
The middle-aged man found that after hearing the boss's reply, the mood of the businessmen improved a lot, and they immediately retreated to the street and gave way to the avenue. Even the stunned young man who was shot stopped screaming.
These people didn't leave, obviously not to ask for an explanation, but to see if there was any chance of meeting Downton.
"Isn't it? That Downton is so powerful?"
The middle-aged man comes from a small principality in the south adjacent to the Ku Magic Tower Empire. Calling him a duke is actually an exaggeration of his status. After conversion, he is equivalent to an imperial viscount.
Whoosh!
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he saw the fierce gazes of the ogres staring at him and pointing their crossbows radiating cold light at him.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, he is not from Delankfurt!"
The companion quickly apologized.
"what happened?"
The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. At that moment, he thought he was going to die.
"In the free trade zone, you have to be careful what you say. The natives admire Downton very much. If you don't use honorifics, you will be in big trouble if they hear you."
Companions warn.
With the sound of horse hooves, a team of cavalry appeared. Every ten meters, two cavalrymen would leave the team and scatter left and right, along the long street under martial law. Their left hand was on the hilt of their sword, and their right hand was holding a strung crossbow, like
A leopard is hunting, staring around.
"Is this the Duke of Downton's bodyguards?" the middle-aged man asked, "They are so elite!"
"No, it's just an ordinary cavalry regiment stationed in the free trade zone to maintain law and order!"
The companion explained, standing on tiptoes and holding an arbor to look around. He had never seen Downton before, so he was a little curious.
"What? Are you kidding me? These cavalrymen are wearing sophisticated equipment, with bright armor, sharp spears, and extraordinary momentum. They look like they have been in battle for a long time. This kind of soldiers, in my country, belong to
As for the Ace Corps, which guards the royal capital, the Duke of Downton actually uses them as guards in the free trade zone?"
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded and couldn't help shaking his head. This was a waste of natural resources.
"What is this? You haven't seen the Duke's regiments of different races. Just pick one out and completely destroy the cavalry, okay?"
The companions have long been accustomed to this, because Downton is a dictator with a tough and iron-blooded attitude, so he enforces orders and prohibitions, and corruption in the army has almost been eradicated.
After several rounds of elimination, the soldiers who remain now have at least one life on their hands. The heads stuck on both sides of the road are their achievements.
If a country wants to be strong, in addition to economic strength, it also needs strong force. Therefore, Downton's legions have been fighting, entering the Dragon Hills to exterminate bandits, pretending to be bandits and attacking caravans from other countries, and even going deep into the Sunset Prairie.
Attack the orc border outpost...
In this experience of blood and fire, the soldiers were forged. Their whole bodies were filled with the aura of perseverance and steel.
Why don't neighboring countries dare to provoke Downton? In addition to the tough backstage, Frankfurt's army is also a major deterrent. Now the kings of the neighboring countries are restless and have been asking for help from the suzerain country, trying to put pressure on them. At least cut it.
Lose a third of the army in Frankfurt, otherwise they will have nightmares while sleeping, and they will often be woken up by fright, fearing that at some midnight, they will be killed in the royal capital and the country will be destroyed.
The originally noisy carriage immediately became quiet as a carriage arrived.
The cavalry did not dismount because they were on duty, but they all made fists with their right hands and knocked on their chests in salute, offering the highest salute!
Elaine opened the curtains slightly and looked at the street through the gap. This kind of clearing made her very uncomfortable. Even if she became the princess of Saint Laurent, she was still the girl next door in her heart.
"Someone is on their knees!"
Hu Tao was lying at the window on the other side. She looked curiously at the people standing on both sides of the street. She didn't know. This was the power of power and the awe of the king's scepter in Downton's hand.
The carriage stopped at the door of the hotel, and the boss, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ran over and opened the door.
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
The boss always lowered his head and looked humble. He was completely different from the ferocious look he had when he scolded the businessmen just now.
The hotel employees all put on clean uniforms and stood outside the store to greet me. Compared to the boss, they had to kneel down to greet me.
"Well, everyone, get up!"
Downton got off the carriage. Then he stretched out his hand to pick up Elaine.
"No way? This is Downton? So young!"
The middle-aged man looked at the man and woman walking down and asked in shock.
"Silence!"
The companion nodded and made a quiet gesture.
"I, Di Polo, this guy is simply a winner in life. He has become the dictator of a country when he was only in his twenties!"
The middle-aged man will go crazy with envy, jealousy and hatred. It can be said that he will never reach this level in his whole life, no, in several lifetimes.
When Downton walked into the hotel, a majestic atmosphere immediately hit his face, and the employees immediately returned to their respective places and started busy.
Ten selected waitresses came over carrying more than a dozen expensive juices and pastries, waiting for Downton to choose.
"Can I eat it?"
Xiao Hutao was intimidated by the atmosphere, especially the pastries, which were exquisite and beautifully arranged. She couldn't bear to start.
"Why are you in a daze? Whatever you want to eat, just take it!"
Downton was speechless, "How did you spend your time at the Bavarian Palace? The service there should be better than here, right?"
"Well, where I went, there were only Sissi and the servants!"
Xiao Hutao picked up a glass of juice and handed it to Elaine first before it was her turn. This small detail made Downton very satisfied. The little Loli finally became more sensible.
"With Sissi's status, no matter where she goes, she will definitely be cleared by martial law."
Elaine pouted her lower lips. Sissi's strength was average, so with the second generation doting on her, the security level was naturally the highest.
"This is the charm of power!"
Downton glanced back and saw that the businessmen were still craning their necks to look into the hotel, with curiosity and envy on their faces. There were also these waitresses, all with low eyebrows and submissive eyes, waiting for the call. Behind them,
I don’t know how many employees are still busy, just to serve themselves well.
"The daily turnover here should be a lot, right?"
Elaine felt it was too wasteful to only accommodate three people.
"Your Highness, on average, it's about five million gold coins per day!"
The boss bowed and reported.
"What?"
Elaine was so startled that she almost spit out her juice. When she was a child, she worked part-time, washing clothes for a day, and she was almost dead from exhaustion, so she could only get five copper coins. But now, just because of the three of herself, the hotel
He gave up a business worth millions of gold coins.
"Brother, please let the hotel operate normally?"
Elaine took Downton's hand.
"Idiot, you should use the money you make to enjoy yourself. Otherwise, when you die, you won't be able to carry it into the coffin?"
Homer returns to the shape of the grimoire and floats in the air. For big people, money is a trivial matter, and the quality of life is the most important.
