He looks to be no more than fifty years old, with a medium build and a slight stoutness. He is wearing a black fur coat that looks quite expensive but has some hair loss, and the top hat on his head has a few sags that cannot be pulled up.
The Viscount's small eyes were always bright when looking at people, but now, his expression was slightly embarrassed.
Several acquaintances in this tavern did not know that he had a title before.
He wanted to change his pastime again.
This luxurious and low-key hover car drove slowly through the low buildings.
Viscount Saka glanced at the empty driving seat and confirmed again that this was an unmanned vehicle, and his expression became slightly more relaxed;
But when he looked at the cute girl sitting in the passenger seat and tapping on the projection screen, he couldn't help but frown.
Do you dare to do such a shameful thing with a secret?
Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back by your little secretary one day?
This does not take the imperial code of nobility seriously. Although in this remote country, few Dong people do not take it seriously.
He said: "You are."
"You can call me Hui."
Yang Luo gave a false name: "The surname can only be used with your permission."
He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Viscount Saka.
Above was the identification information given by the introducer. After reading it, Viscount Saka immediately stuffed the paper into his pocket and looked out the window guiltily.
"If it weren't for my family encountering some difficulties, I wouldn't have taken the risk to do something like this."
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh.
"But this one."
He pointed at 026.
Yang Luowen said: "Don't worry, she is my personal assistant and secretary, and she is absolutely loyal to me."
026 immediately turned around. She originally wanted to say "Aba, Aba" a few times, but she showed a sweet smile to Viscount Saka.
How should I say one word to dispel the viscount's worries?
026 did it.
"I was raised by my boss!"
Viscount Saka immediately looked at Yang Luo in surprise, and Yang Luo lightly shrugged, indicating that this was just the type of child bride.
"Okay, although this makes me feel a little unreliable, since I have promised you," Viscount Saka breathed out softly.
"I believe in your character and ability."
Yang nodded slightly and said sincerely:
"I'm very grateful that you can provide me with a shortcut. My family's expectation for me is that I can have a decent identity. I also envy your innate noble blood."
"Noble?"
Viscount Saka couldn't help but sit up straight, open his shoulders a little, and said with a wry smile:
"So far, this name has brought me nightmares, ridicule, and unbearable pressure. Forget it, let's not talk about this. In the spirit of being responsible for this matter, I must ask you a few questions.
"
"certainly."
"Where is your home address?"
Yang Luo reported the province and city where Hanton's home was located, but the street and house number were changed.
These are 'information points' that he deliberately retained.
This is part of the plan.
Viscount Saka took out his network access terminal, a straight plate inlaid with colored precious metals, checked it properly for a while, and asked Yang Luo some random questions.
For example, the environment near his home address, his grades from childhood to high school, and which middle school he went to.
Yang answered fluently and there were no errors or omissions in the information.
It’s not even necessary for Lil to use Yang Luo’s glasses to play the cheat sheet.
Just a little basic preparation.
Viscount Saka gradually gave up his worries and asked, "What did your family do originally?"
Interstellar trade, "Yang Luodao," "I came out to seek a political career."
"You want to go into politics?"
Viscount Saka chuckled:
"This is really not a good idea. Even if you try for decades, it will be difficult to get out of this planet."
"In today's imperial politics, where you are born determines everything. It cannot be reversed by the nihilistic status of a noble. You have to think clearly. Becoming a noble here, or being a knight entrusted by a down-and-out noble like me, means that
Only in this province can you obtain the corresponding privileges of the nobility."
"There is no vitality here anymore, and all the capable people have moved away."
"And it must be made clear that I don't have any connections that can help you. You can only get the honorary title of 'the illegitimate son of a cowardly Viscount' from me."
Viscount Saka tried to show humor and his expression was much more relaxed than before.
"Of course, if you think it's an honor."
"This is naturally an honor," Yang Luo said slowly, "The uneven development between regions has become a key factor restricting the development of the empire. I want to challenge myself, not only to realize my own life value, but also to contribute to this
The country makes its own contribution."
Viscount Saka raised his index finger: "Medium liars often talk about the value of life and the meaning of success, while high-level liars always pretend to be serving the country and the people. You seem to be involved in both."
Yang:
This Imperial Viscount is quite interesting.
I really want to do something great," Yang Luo emphasized seriously."
"Just do your career, and it doesn't have to be tied to the feelings of your family and country," Viscount Saka curled his lips and said, "Okay, my torture of you is over."
He took the initiative and extended his right hand.
"I need money, you need a title. This is a fair but illegal transaction, my dear illegitimate son."
"Yes, my irresponsible father."
Yang Luo reached out and shook Saka vigorously.
On the side, 026 has successfully completed the transfer to Viscount Saka.
Ding ding!
Viscount Saka's network access terminal vibrated slightly. He took it out and glanced at Yang Luo in disbelief.
"Is that much? Didn't the middleman say that your total business amount is six million?"
Yang wondered: "Isn't six million a deposit?"
026 blinked and muttered guiltily: "Boss, are you paying the deposit first? I thought it wasn't much, so I transferred it to Viscount Saka."
without.
Viscount Saka's face turned a little dark.
Mudd, why are so many capital oligarchs popping up in the empire now?
Although imperial coins are not as valuable as federal coins, in such an underdeveloped area, six million imperial coins is still a huge sum of money, enough to maintain the basic dignity of a nobleman for the rest of his life, not to mention that the amount of money transferred now is far more than six hundred
Ten thousand!
Good guy, an assistant can do it.
With Levi Sherman at the top, it’s time for the empire to launch a war of capital annihilation!
026 hurriedly said: "Viscount, please see if the part other than the deposit is included?"
"Oh, don't worry!"
Viscount Saka put away the network access terminal with lightning speed.
"I guarantee that this matter can go smoothly, but next, you have to listen to my arrangement and live in my house for one to two months first. This can dispel their doubts. Also, only the three of us know about this matter."
, I think only the two of us know. Anyway, I am also under a lot of pressure."
a lot of pressure?
Yang Luo naturally understands this.
The imperial code explicitly prohibits the sale of titles, which is equivalent to a prohibited profit-making method unique to nobles. Once discovered, the hereditary title may not be guaranteed, and one may face extremely high fines.
However, what Yang Luo didn't expect was.
After he arranged for 026 to live in this gray city, changed into a uniform commonly used by college students, and followed Viscount Saka to his manor, which was almost overgrown with grass and half of the villa had lost its outer skin, Yang Luo intuitively understood Viscount Saka
pressure.
"Delly, first of all, I love you."
"I have unparalleled love for you. We have supported each other through twenty years of marriage. You have worked hard to manage the family and gave birth to two children for me. I respect you as much as I respect my own mother.
"
"Yes, I failed to give you a prosperous life. Because of the title I bear, we are often ostracized and ridiculed by others."
"//But Delly, I will love you twice as much in the future, create a better life for you, and let you and your children live a good life."
Viscount Saka looked lovingly at the middle-aged beauty in a long skirt.
The Viscountess had already had a premonition of something. Her face was gloomy and she did not dare to look at Yang Luo, but her eyes gradually became moist.
Viscount Saka sighed: "Yes, this is my illegitimate son. His name is Xiaohui. Can you accept him?"
Mrs. Delly turned her head and looked out the window. Her slender body could not support herself, so she leaned against the stove in the kitchen.
She trembled: "As we said, betrayal is not allowed."
Plop.
Viscount Saka bent his legs and knelt down.
Mrs. Delly suddenly panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Don't be like this Godoy! You are the hereditary viscount of the empire! You get up first, we can talk about this matter!"
//Forgive me, Delly," Viscount Saka said in a deep voice, his Adam's apple trembling slightly, "This is a romantic debt from before I met you. I did not betray you, but this child's life was too miserable.
So it is a last resort h.
"You get up first! This is not allowed! How old is he?"
"Eighteen years old."
"We have been married twenty years, Godoy."
I actually forgot how old he was," Viscount Sacca whispered, "which makes me a little embarrassed."
Yang Luo took the initiative to speak: "I am twenty-three years old, madam."
"Oh," Mrs. Dai Li still didn't dare to look at Yang Luo and just raised her hand to hold her forehead, "I need to be quiet for a while. I'm sorry. I may be a little rude, but I really can't accept this happening. I'm sorry."
She lowered her head and walked towards the bedroom on the first floor.
Viscount Sacca hurriedly followed behind. Regardless of Mrs. Delly's objection, they entered the bedroom together and closed the door.
Yang Luo raised his eyebrows and looked at the exquisite but somewhat old-school decoration here.
There are no servants in the villa, but everything is kept very neatly. The kitchen window is full of flower pots. Although the manor looks a bit messy, the several flower beds are carefully maintained.
To the left and right of the manor are two old residential buildings, and the transportation hub not far away is also in a semi-abandoned state.
The entire city is actually in a semi-abandoned state.
A few minutes later, Viscount Saka pushed the door open and then slowly closed the bedroom door with a smile on his face. He turned to Yang Luo and gave a victory gesture.
"The biggest difficulty has passed."
Viscount Saka breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Luo thought of the viscount's kneeling just now and the strong aristocratic atmosphere of the empire, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Huisaka.
This is Yang Luo's current pseudonym.
His documents have been prepared, and he still has to go through two difficulties: the paternity test and the noble council.
Viscount Saka will try to get the hair of his children. The two nominal younger brothers and sisters of Yang Luo are studying in aristocratic boarding schools. One of them will inherit the title of Viscount Saka and become the next one with only a title.
Hereditary nobles without fiefdom.
When night fell, Yang Luo lay quietly in the guest room on the second floor and gently tapped the frame of his glasses.
A small projection appeared in front of his eyes and quickly flashed a series of messages.
The most important one has been marked red:
[Boss, the topic that the white ghost is the son of Valkyrie suddenly began to circulate on the Internet, and it was pointed at the empire for conducting human genetic experiments.
[I initially suspected that there was a leak within the empire, but after tracking it, I found that it was a cyber attack launched within the New Federation, and the method was exactly the same as the keywords of the forerunners that were spread before.
[Your competitors should suspect that White Ghost is the forerunner and have obtained other off-site information.]
Yang Luo thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Just as the other party was deeply impressed by Star Widow Mimili, the other party knew that the sexy Valkyrie, the big boss of the Imperial Epic Squad copy, was nothing to be surprised about.
So, the versions of "Abyss" experienced by several civilizations that participated in the second assessment are actually the same?
Yang Luo thought for a while and sent a message back to Lu.
He originally planned to ask Lu to block the spread of this news, but halfway through the sentence, Yang Luo suddenly thought of another thing.
Didn't this just fulfill him?
By spreading this news, won't it establish the image that the White Ghost is a victim of the empire's biochemical experiments?
Is there anything bad about this image?
Yang Luo thought about it carefully, then burst into laughter.
Gossip news often spreads well, and it’s time for the white ghost to gradually reveal his ‘true face’.
[Let this message spread, guide the public to sympathize with the White Ghost, and reverse the description of the White Ghost running out of control. For example, the White Ghost will choose to self-destruct before losing control.]
[Okay boss. Are you doing well? 】
[It’s going smoothly at the moment, and Viscount Saka is pretty reliable.]
[Do you need me to hold one of his children hostage? 】
[There is no need for this at the moment. Treat this as a business, which is more pure. However, keep an eye on their family’s actions throughout the process. 】
【yes.】
The tip of Yang Luo's ears trembled slightly, and he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door that seemed to be absent and deliberately light.
He tapped the frame of his glasses, and the glasses immediately returned to normal.
Boom, boom.
The knock on the door was very gentle.
"coming!"
Yang Luo greeted, stood up, put on his short sleeves, and opened the bedroom door.
There was no one in front of him, but he looked down and saw a square stool. On the square stool was a tray with two steaming staple foods and several plates of meat and vegetable dishes.
Yang Luo looked towards the corridor and could still see the back of the Viscountess leaving quickly.
