In the palace of the Stone Castle, His Majesty the Grand Duke was anxious to discuss with his close ministers and the two His Highnesses. They had just received the news that at the reception where Meng Han invited them to honor them but they dismissed it, a princess from the Elf tribe appeared.
"Damn it, why did the elf princess show up?" His Highness couldn't suppress his anger at all. He smashed a cup and stood up in a hurry: "I'm going to kill that guy!"
"Okay!" His Highness next to him continued what his younger brother had said without hesitation, with a teasing smile on his face and said: "I admire you for being so brave despite knowing that he is now on the side of the elves.
, you go and kill him!"
One sentence made His Highness completely wilt. What he said just now was just an angry word. If he really wanted to take action, His Highness did not have the courage. When Meng Han left the Stone Castle, it was not that they had not thought of taking action, but
The men sent out were all killed, and they were unable to arrest them. Now His Highness's pretentiousness can only be said to be a vain pretense, which is of no use at all. On the contrary, it only adds to the laughing stock.
"You!" His Highness looked at his brother's unkind eyes and listened to his provocative words. He couldn't help but be filled with anger. However, he was indeed a little impulsive just now. If he wanted to say anything again, he would definitely be unable to step down and could only control him.
He looked at some of His Majesty's confidants, pointed at them and cursed loudly: "You, and you, none of you, none of you can think of going? Why did the Marquis go, but we didn't get the news?"
At this time, it would be a lie to say that I have no regrets. What kind of achievement would it be to have a relationship with the princess of the Elf clan? It can almost be said that no matter who it is, the First Highness or the Second Highness, as long as one of them is related to the Elf clan,
With friendship, it can be said with certainty that His Majesty the Grand Duke's position belongs to him. However, a group of people's hostility and contempt for Meng Han eventually led to the fact that no one from His Majesty's side participated. Naturally, all the benefits went to the Marquis.
grown ups.
All the close ministers lowered their heads, and no one interrupted at this time. His Majesty the Grand Duke did not speak, so naturally it was not their turn. However, His Highness pointed at them and cursed so arrogantly, but it was very frustrating.
People were angry. Some people almost couldn't help but stand up and refute, who was the one who designed Viscount Antonio in the first place? Now that he has become prosperous, he comes to accuse everyone. No matter who it is, he is not convinced.
"Okay, just say a few words." His Highness became more and more exaggerated, and His Majesty the Grand Duke finally couldn't stand it anymore and opened his mouth to speak. As soon as His Majesty the Grand Duke opened his mouth, His Highness naturally did not dare to say anything more and obediently returned to sit where he was.
When he looked at his brother, he looked very unkind.
His Majesty the Grand Duke no longer knows how to describe his feelings. Viscount Antonio can almost be said to have single-handedly pushed him to the side of the Marquis. He is the Grand Duke, and Meng Han is his subordinate. Many times, he can legitimately win him over.
Meng Han, however, missed opportunities time and time again.
Since he obtained the base of the scroll from the Magic Academy, he could have used this reason to improve Meng Han's life. Not to mention getting promoted to a higher position, as long as he changed Meng Han's embarrassment at the time and saved Meng Han's help in the nick of time, he could gain Meng Han's allegiance.
But he didn't. He acquiesced to the Magic Academy taking advantage of Meng Han, and at the same time he also took advantage of Meng Han.
After Meng Han built a new-style bathroom, Stormwind City Lord Adrian coveted Meng Han's property, blocked Meng Han and Huangsha Town, and directly kidnapped Meng Han's housekeeper to extort money. In this matter, as long as
His Majesty the Grand Duke took action, and he still had a chance to gain Meng Han's allegiance, but he didn't. He acquiesced to Adrian's behavior just to see Meng Han's ability.
After the silk appeared, Meng Han came to auction with the Staff of Life and the silk industry. It was clearly shown at that time that Meng Han definitely had a deep relationship with the elves. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to obtain the Staff of Life, let alone
Obtain the raw materials used for silk. At that time, due to the injustice done to Meng Han by the Magic Academy, as long as His Majesty the Grand Duke intervened, he could still get Meng Han's allegiance, but he did not. He acquiesced in his son's plot against Meng Han, and even
Even the Marquis was involved in the plot.
Everything was not performed according to the script set by His Majesty the Grand Duke, and everything was out of control. Not only did Meng Han have the powerful Elf Royal Family behind him, but he also followed the auction of the Stone Castle and completely came together with the Marquis.
Even if Meng Han sent someone to send an invitation not long ago, it would be impossible for His Majesty the Grand Duke or any one of his two sons to go there. It would be impossible for the Marquis to monopolize the friendship with the elves. When he received the invitation, he miscalculated and thought
It is no longer possible or worthwhile to repair the relationship with a little viscount. Now the problem is huge.
Everyone can take the medicine of regret. If there is one, it is a pity that this world is the same as Meng Han's previous life. There is no medicine of regret to buy. His Majesty the Grand Duke can only feel regret in his heart, and at the same time lament his two useless sons.
It seems that at this point, they still haven't seen the severe situation in front of them clearly, and they are still fighting for power. Do they really think that the Grand Duke's seat is so easy to sit on? In one day, the Marquis, no matter who sits on it
Even in this seat, I can't sit so at ease.
"We have all ignored the importance of little Antonio." His Majesty the Grand Duke finally said this after being silent for a long time. This sentence has been in His Majesty's heart for a long time. It seems that after saying it, he felt much more relaxed: "Now, we still
Is there any chance to win over Viscount Antonio?”
After His Majesty the Grand Duke mentioned it, everyone began to think about this issue carefully. Now everyone understands that whether it is the Marquis or the guests who have gone that day, they got such an opportunity because of Meng Han. In other words,
The real core lies in Meng Han. As long as the relationship with Meng Han can be improved, there will naturally be no problems in some aspects, such as communication with the elves. The problem is that after experiencing the previous things,
After being suppressed by the designs of the two His Highnesses and experiencing the killers they sent when Meng Han returned to the city, will Meng Han still accept their goodwill?
It would be absolutely impossible if it were His Majesty the Grand Duke himself. Although there are no absolute enemies in politics, it seems that there is no turning back at this point. However, the target is Antonio, a young viscount. Will he not be able to see the situation clearly?
, with the intention of trying to please both sides? Looking at some of Meng Han's actions, such as the way he dealt with the mercenary guild and the underground guild, he acted like he was stepping on both sides and not offending anyone. It seemed that there was still a chance.
.
While His Majesty the Grand Duke and his sons and confidants were discussing how to win over Meng Han, Meng Han was sitting at his desk preparing to start work. But before starting work, Meng Han still had to ask clearly.
"Where do you plan to build this castle?" The castle he was talking about was, of course, the castle that Meng Han wanted to design, a castle that did not yet exist: "The Elf King's City?"
"Where do you think it's best to build it?" Louisa is not a little witch, so unruly. As soon as she heard Meng Han's words, she knew there was a problem, so she asked carefully.
"I have never seen your royal city, but I don't think it is necessary to build an unconventional castle in the royal city. Otherwise, the royal city will be uncoordinated, and our castle will not be so distinctive." Of course, Meng Han is not willing to let it go.
His reputation as a master of architectural design has been ruined, so he must say something first. Of course, it would be better if the elves invited him to the Elf King City because of this.
"You decide." Of course Louisa heard the words "our castle" Meng Han said, smiled slightly, and handed everything to Meng Han.
"There should be some hills in the Elf Forest, right?" Meng Han's question was almost not a question, and he didn't expect Louisa to answer. Everyone knows that the Elf Forest is not a plain, and it is normal to have a few hills. After saying this, Meng Han
John asked again, specifically aimed at Louisa: "Louisa, can you control some tiny vines to cling to the exterior walls of the building?"
"Of course!" Louisa replied without hesitation. Louise next to her was very disdainful and gave Meng Han a big eye roll for asking this idiotic question. Just kidding, Louisa is a plant magister and can't even do this.
arrive?
"That's good." Meng Han felt confident and began to write slowly on the paper. When the two women saw him writing, neither of them spoke, for fear of disturbing him, and they watched quietly.
Meng Han used the design drawing of Swan Castle in his previous life. After the outline on the paper came out, Louisa and Louise looked at the hazy shadow of the castle and marveled. It was just the beginning, and they were already attracted.
caught their eyeballs.
"Have you finished the painting?" The little witch came in happily from the outside. She has almost gone crazy playing in Huangsha City these days. There is no pressure from the elders here, and everyone is respectful to her, which is rare for the little witch.
of relaxation.
"It's just an outline." Meng Han answered truthfully, and then continued to work. After just one glance, the little witch seemed unable to take her eyes away. Together with Louisa, Louise stayed quietly, waiting for Meng Han.
Completed.
"It's so beautiful!" Meng Han's renderings were finally completed and a little more color was added. However, the three girls were almost completely attracted. Looking at the dreamlike castle renderings, they were filled with admiration. The little witch's eyes were straight.
After looking at the renderings for a long time, he asked: "What is the name of this castle?"
"Can we just call it the Holy Unicorn Castle?" Meng Han replied with a smile. I don't know if there are swans in this world, but the elves still have unicorns. This name is more relevant.
