On the grassland, the cold wind was howling and the air-conditioning drifted away, but with the arrival of Ctesiphon, the earth seems to have entered spring, and a wave of warmth is growing!
Downton finally understood what Charlotte meant, why it was said that all the heirs to the Lion King were dead, and it was not Ctesiphon's turn to hold the king's scepter, because he had no physical signs of an orc at all and was completely an elf.
Different from the roughness of the orcs, Taixi Fengsheng was extremely refined, with a sense of elegance and nobility all over his body. When he stood there, every move he made was the most perfect picture.
This man is simply a creation of God, perfect to the extreme. When I see him, I can't help but feel good about him, and feel that even answering him is a kind of blasphemy.
The atmosphere around him suddenly fell into silence. Everyone looked at Ctesiphon and completely forgot to answer.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness!"
Di Lanxue glanced at Downton, and seeing his shocked expression, a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, thinking that his big heart would not be affected by anything, and then she nodded as a greeting.
"You're welcome!"
Ctesiphon returned the gift.
Di Lanxue's words contained laws, which brought everyone's lost attention back.
"Wow, it's so scary. His eyes seem to be able to talk, and they actually sucked my soul in!"
Little Walnut patted her chest, looking scared, "But I don't feel any danger, or I'll blow your head off!"
The little Loli waved her fist in demonstration. As long as he tried to hurt Downton, she would kill him without hesitation.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Ctesiphon looked apologetic.
"What a good girl!"
Elaine lowered her voice, leaned close to Downton and whispered, "His Highness is good at everything, but he looks like a weakling and keeps apologizing. He doesn't have a strong aura at all."
"cough!"
Downton coughed and quickly interrupted his sister. Just looking at flying in the air and having the courage to intercept everyone, Ctesiphon must be at least a marshal, so his hearing must be excellent. You must know that such a comment will lead to a war.
"Feel sorry!"
Ctesiphon was not angry, but apologized again.
"No, it's my fault, I'm sorry!"
Ctesiphon's attitude left Elaine at a loss. This kind of person must have a good family background and have received the most elite aristocratic education.
"Let's go!"
Downton turned around and shouted to the bunny girl. Ctesiphon's appearance made him have no desire to fight. He had no choice. This guy was more of a woman than a woman, so he really couldn't do it.
"Thanks!"
Seeing that Tutu was not injured, Ctesiphon breathed a sigh of relief and then dissuaded him. "Uzhumuqin has been uneasy recently. I advise all business group leaders to return. Of course, the Duke and His Highness should go to Storm City. I don't want to
Talent, I am willing to lead the way for you two!"
Ctesi Fon has long admired Downton and Di Lanxue. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to ask for advice.
Di Lanxue looked at Downton. This small action surprised Ctesi Feng. You must know that Shishi Ji took charge of the royal power when she was just a teenager, suppressed the empire's rebellion, and launched a great purge. Such an iron-blooded empress who is used to giving orders actually sought
Downton's opinion is really rare.
"Then thank you, Your Highness!"
Multiple people provide a new path, not to mention the fact that both Xia Luo and Di Lanxue are optimistic about Tai Xifeng, so Downton is naturally interested in getting to know him.
"Great Prophet!"
Ctesiphon greeted Charlotte with the etiquette of a royal audience before the Pope.
"We are just a passing wolf girl!"
Charlotte refused to admit it, otherwise a lot of trouble would come to her door after she put on the hat of a great prophet.
"It was the Great Prophet of Xianlang who gave my mother and I new life. In my mind, her daughter is the benefactor of our mother and son!"
Tai Xifeng looked pious. If he hadn't known that Xian Lang lacked everything, he would have given him such a generous gift that would have made even the prince scream.
"Have you met my mother? Where did she go? Have she told you?"
Xia Luo, who had always been calm and composed, lost her composure for the first time. She asked with a trembling voice and stared at Ctesi Fon, full of hope.
"Sorry, I don't know where the Great Prophet went, but the last place where she disappeared was a golden wheat field."
Ctesiphon replied respectfully, "If the great prophet is not in a hurry, he can go to my territory as a guest. Maybe my mother will know something?"
"good!"
Xia Luo did not refuse. In order to find her mother and find her way home, she had been waiting for too long!
"Look at his pointed ears, he is really an elf!"
Walnut and Elaine bite their ears.
"Yes, he is the most beautiful man I have ever seen!"
Elaine nodded. Although his brother was also handsome, there was still a gap between him and Ctesiphon. After all, he came from the bloodline of the elf mother, which gave him an inexplicable temperament.
After the initial shock, Downton discovered that Ctesiphon was too shy and prone to shyness. When speaking, he basically would not look the other person in the eye.
When talking about handsomeness, Downton thought of Heinrich, a man who was on par with Ctesiphon, but although the former was gentle and gentle, he had an aggressiveness and a heroic spirit that despised the world. If Ctesiphon had the appearance,
Normally, no one would take a second look at him, but Heinrich is different. His aura has reached the point where people ignore his appearance. Even if he is a dwarf or an ugly stitch monster, it no longer matters.
Already.
Heinrich's soul is unique!
"Your Excellency, the establishment of the free trade zone will make you an enemy of both humans and beasts, so I admire your courage!"
Ctesiphon was not joking. For Downton's actions, many people have already accused him of being a traitor. You must know that the two races are mortal enemies. Although there are business contacts, they are all secret. For example, Donovan, even if he fights
He is flying under the banner of the family, but if something happens, he will definitely claim that he has defected long ago and is making some money under the banner of the family.
At least on the surface, wealthy families are more concerned about face. Carrying out trade in such an open and honest manner like Downton is simply seeking death.
Of course, in history, countries located on the border have never thought of doing this. It is just that due to various reasons, it has not been successful.
Without the endorsement of Charlotte, the harvest goddess, how could the orcs trust humans? Even now, more than 70% of those who come from the trade zone are hilly natives, and there are dictatorships. Downton has enough power to suppress those with evil intentions.
, but this is not the case in other countries. There are too many entanglements between interested parties, and even the king will be tied up and his efforts will fail.
"Just call me Downton!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care about any comments. As long as there is an extra piece of bread on the people's table, my life will not be wasted!"
"Your magnanimity is beyond my reach. I have visited several relocation towns near the free trade zone. Those orcs are living very well, and their taxes are also treated equally. If you dominate the world, I believe peace will come soon!
"
Downton was startled by Ctesiphon's words.
“That’s ridiculous!”
Looking at Ctesiphon, who was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Downton finally confirmed that he was not speaking sarcastically.
"Hey. Hey, he seems to be a big fan of Big Brother?"
Hu Tao was surprised.
"Um!"
Elaine nodded.
"Downton. What do you think of the current situation of the Orc Empire?"
If an ordinary person had the opportunity to travel with Di Lanxue, he would definitely try his best to show his hospitality, but Tai Xifeng was better off pestering Downton with questions and completely ignoring Lion Girl.
"For this question, you should ask Her Royal Highness Di Lanxue, she is the leader of the empire!"
Downton has a headache.
"I have studied the recovery history of the Twilight Empire. Over the past few years, she has indeed shown tenacious vitality, but with all due respect, the real shortcomings have not been eliminated. Twilight can no longer return to the top of the nine empires!"
After Ctesiphon finished speaking, he realized how rude his words were, so he quickly apologized.
"It's okay, what do you think?"
Lion Girl still has this kind of mind, and she can also see that Ctesiphon is a practical person. What he needs is to increase the national income as soon as possible and improve their lives.
"First, suppress the old aristocratic forces and support the new aristocracy; second, create a new trade situation and tap the country's production potential; third, increase the people's enthusiasm for production..."
Ctesiphon was obviously not one of those countless idiots who could find solutions just by opening his mouth.
Di Lanxue stared quietly, and after Ctesi Feng finished speaking, she did not make any comments, but looked at Downton, "What do you think?"
Whoosh!
Everyone's eyes suddenly moved over, and it would be an honor to be able to ask Lion Girl for more information and tell her.
"Brother, come on!"
Little Walnut waved her fist. She felt that with Downton's knowledge, she could conquer anyone.
"The first one, I think it is very difficult to achieve. Without strong external factors, such as opportunities such as the invasion of the empire, to forcibly cleanse the old aristocratic forces, even the prestige of His Highness Di Lanxue will probably shake the country's foundation!"
Downton originally wanted to say something perfunctory, but looking at the waiting eyes of Tai Xifeng and Di Lanxue, he really didn't want to be underestimated. Deep down, he was also a proud man.
"Lord Homer, Alexander!"
Downton wailed in his heart. Fortunately, in that dream, he had read many books and experienced many changes in city-states and empires. Coupled with the teachings of Homer, the great teacher, he had a lot of confidence in his heart and would not be embarrassed on the spot.
"Developing new industries cannot be achieved overnight. It is like productivity, which takes time to accumulate!" Ctesiphon sighed, "I always believe that it is most effective to purge the old nobles and use the huge wealth they control to develop the country.
way!"
"Then this country will fall into civil war!"
Na Di Lanxue shook his head.
"In fact, you can launch a war abroad, divide and unite, and send the opposition you hate to the battlefield. As long as they die in the battle, all problems will be solved!"
Downton was talking nonsense, but as he was talking, he noticed that everyone was looking at him.
"You are so insidious, you actually let your compatriots die!"
Donovan took the opportunity to despise and undermine Downton's popularity.
"No, this may be a way. Of course, the premise is that you meet a military god, and the war may also stimulate domestic demand."
Ctesiphon muttered and looked at Downton, "In a battle with the Orc Empire, how sure are you of winning if the forces are equal?"
The people next to him were stunned, and then they understood what Prince Khorasan said. They must know that Downton has the title of the No. 1 General in the North. (To be continued...)
