Chapter 190 Rudolph in Desperation

"Well, Rudolph, how do you decide like this?"

"That's right, Rudolph, the four of our families are arguing over the right to trade routes. We don't know when we will be the top, so it's better to just let it go."

"That's right, everyone sees Zhenzhang under their hands, and speaks according to their ability, and they are all convinced."

Looking at the three guys opposite, Rudolph's bushy eyebrows twitched a little. Today is the autumn hunting competition, which is a very important event for the Eugenie family, but as the head of the family, he is here to accompany the guests and does not attend the autumn hunting.Rudolph already thought that someone would use this to tarnish his reputation, saying that he didn't care about the family, but only Rudolph knew that what he was doing now was planning for the future of the family.

There are four influential families in the empire, known as the Four Great Families, and the Eugenie Family is only one of the Four Great Families, and it is also the last of the Four Great Families.For this autumn hunting competition, the other three families also came to observe the ceremony and congratulate them, but Rudolph never imagined that the people sent by these three families were their respective patriarchs.In other words, sitting in this small living room are the patriarchs of the four most influential families in the empire. Every toast and high-five in this small living room will affect the situation of the empire and even the state of the empire to varying degrees. The situation on the mainland.

The reason why the three families came all the way here was because of the trade between the empire and the grassland aliens.

Some time ago, the empire conquered the surrounding territories, and the territory was expanded, and it has already bordered the grassland aliens.The grasslands are rich in war horses and various leather goods and herbs, and these things are in high demand in all countries in the mainland, especially war horses, which are strategic materials that various countries are eager to hoard.However, the grassland aliens lack smelting methods, and they cannot even produce iron pots for cooking, let alone swords and arrows.Therefore, all countries in the mainland exchanged their own ironware and grassland aliens for war horses, and the two sides changed hands to obtain huge profits.

Originally, the four major families have stretched for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and the division of power in various fields of the empire has become a foregone conclusion. Unless some major event occurs, there will be few changes. Therefore, for a long time, the four major families have worked hard to manage their own The territory is rarely crossed.However, the trade route with the grassland is new, that is to say, this trade route has no ownership, and who will lead this trade route has become a problem.

The majority of the interests of the new trade routes belong to the royal family, but the remaining small head is enough to make the four major families scramble for it. This is definitely a key factor that can change the strength comparison and ranking of the four major families. No one wants to be left behind. behind others.

Similarly, Rudolph was also very eager for this trade route.Because this trade route provides not only wealth, but also war horses, which is the most important thing for cavalry arming.After mastering this trade route, with a little trickery, the Eugenie family can obtain a large number of war horses, which will facilitate the restoration of the country in the future.

The four major families have been arguing for a long time because of the ownership of the new trade route, and no one is willing to back down.Although the most powerful Aryan family intends to monopolize it, it will inevitably cause the other three families to gang up and make trouble. If any family does not get benefits, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not make trouble later. So, after thinking about it, the Aryan family made a suggestion , that is, the ownership of the new trade route is divided into [-]%, and the four families occupy [-]%, [-]%, [-]%, and [-]% of it respectively.As for who is more and who is less, it depends on the strength.

The strongest of the four major families is the Aryan family, and there is almost no suspense that it occupies [-]% of them. To put it bluntly, it is just that the other three families compete for the remaining three parts.The way to compete is to compete. It just so happens that it is the Eugenie family's autumn hunting competition, so the three families also send their outstanding children to compete with the winner of the Eugenie family.

Rudolph knew that the three families should have already planned it out. For today's matter, he had to agree if he agreed, or he had to agree if he didn't agree.It's okay if you agree, even if you lose [-]% of the shares, but if you don't agree, since the three families have put aside themselves to discuss the process, can they still negotiate without a result?

However, Rudolph was unwilling, unwilling to be manipulated by others, and even less willing to be given [-]% of his share.

It's just that Rudolph can't help it.He can use special methods against some people in the Eugenie family, but he dare not use these methods against outsiders, because the Eugenie family will not do anything to him without evidence, but outsiders are different, they don't care about any evidence. evidence.

"Okay, I agree!" Rudolph exhaled helplessly, "However, I want to know who you will send."

When the three of them heard Rudolph's words, they couldn't help showing triumphant smiles, and then greeted outside. Not long after, the three teenagers came into the house.

Walking in front was a young man wearing armor and holding a knight's sword and knight's shield. His immature face showed a maturity that did not match it. There was a rumbling sound, as if not a person was moving, but a hill was moving.

Seeing the eagle-shaped logo on the young man's armor and shield, Rudolph narrowed his eyes immediately, because he knew the meaning of this logo. It was the emblem of the Teutonic Knights. The Teutonic Knights were the three major knight orders in the empire. One of the knights, and the only one in the hands of the nobles rather than the royal family, the Aryan family was able to become the head of the four major families precisely because of the existence of the Teutonic Knights.Just to prevent the suspicion of the royal family, the Teutonic Knights are very small, only 500 people, but each of these 500 people is the elite of the elite, which is by no means comparable to ordinary fighters.

This boy turned out to be a member of the Teutonic Knights. His strength is absolutely extraordinary!

Rudolph thought about those more outstanding juniors in the family. He used to think that he had extraordinary talent and outstanding strength, but compared with the young man in front of him, he was nothing but scum.It's not that Rudolph doesn't have confidence in the descendants of the Eugenie family, but that the name "Teutonic Knights", tempered with blood and fire, contains too much glory, and every member born in it is an unrivaled warrior.

Followed by a young man in a fine attire with a gorgeous rapier around his waist, this young man seems to have a wind flowing while walking, his steps are light and elegant, and his whole body seems to blend into the wind without any trace.

There is no sign of provenance on him, but to be able to appear on this occasion must have unusual skills.

The third one was dressed in black and masked, so he was an assassin at first glance.He seemed to be unarmed, but Rudolph understood that he already had a weapon on his body, but he didn't see it, so he could only say that he was very good at hiding weapons, or that he had space props on him.Either way, it shows that he is not mediocre.

It seems that these three families have cultivated great successors, and they are planning to use the Eugenie family as a sharpening stone.

"Rudolph, don't worry. We know the rules of the Eugenie family's autumn hunting competition. All participating family members must be under the age of 16. None of our three juniors are under the age of 16. Therefore, this competition is absolutely fair."

"That's right, Rudolph, don't worry, you can inquire about the age, we will never lie."

Rudolph nodded, "Since you want to play, I will accompany you, but I have one condition, that is, our Eugenie family will compete with your Aryan family, Gaul family, and Viking family separately."

Compete separately, one against three?

The patriarchs of the three families were stunned. They never expected that Rudolph would make such a crazy decision.Is it too self-confident, or is it simply broken?
However, they also understood Rudolph's thoughts. Instead of only taking one point, they might as well use this point as a bargaining chip to fight for the share in the hands of the three major families.Losing is harmless, winning is a huge profit.

"I have to say, Rudolph, you are very courageous. If it were me, I would not dare to make your choice. Well, no matter what the result of this competition is, I recognize you as a friend." The patriarch of the Aryan family said so .

This kind of important matter, especially when it involves gambling, will make a literal contract.In order to prevent the Eugenie family from going back and forth, the three major families quickly drafted the contract documents after the agreement was made, and then the four signed and signed them respectively. Dried up a little bit, solidified.

The results of the autumn hunting competition were reported in a stream. Rudolph didn't care about the results of the first equestrian, second archery and third hunting, because these two could at best only show the riding and archery skills of the family children. , and the most important thing in martial arts competition is personal martial arts, which is the skill of fighting and killing the enemy.What Rudolph valued was the result of the fourth martial arts competition.

A list was sent to Rudolph, which listed all the members who performed brilliantly in the fourth game. As Yue Chuan had expected, thousands of people participated in the Autumn Hunting Competition. The list in Rudolph's hands was less than ten people, and it was as if thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge.

Originally, Rudolph wanted to take orders in the face of danger and choose some more outstanding family children to play in the battle, but when he saw this list, he was immediately surprised from ear to ear.Because the ones listed on this list are all descendants of the Bronson family.

Rudolph knew about Bronson. He knew that these children had been trained by Yue Chuan for a period of time, and their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.Rudolph also felt that Bronson's descendants were pretty good, but he never thought that these descendants of Bronson would be so strong that they almost took all the places in the autumn hunting competition.

How is this going?

Rudolph was full of question marks, and couldn't help but wonder if those people outside made a mistake and got the wrong list.But seeing the comments under each list, Rudolph believed that this was indeed the list of final winners.

"Perhaps, the Eugenie family still has a chance!"

Originally, Rudolph was indeed holding the mentality of fighting for it, and challenged the three major families with small ones, but after seeing this list, Rudolph suddenly felt a sense of confidence in his heart.

"Umont's training of them is absolutely extraordinary, otherwise, how could these little fellows with the size of fish belly have undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days? I just hope they can defeat the Aryan family, the Gaul family and the Viking family. The Jing family. Well...they were trained by Wumont, and only Wumont understands their strengths and weaknesses best, so this competition should be combined with Wumont's."

The autumn hunting competition ended. Whether it was the members of the Eugenie family or the nobles watching the ceremony in Bayne City, they all talked about the process of today's competition, especially those fighting skills that had never been heard or seen before.

As for the brats who stole the limelight in the autumn hunting competition, they tried their best to hold their heads high, with their nostrils turned to the sky, and let out all the depression and resentment that had accumulated in their hearts for many years, especially when they saw the one who had been at odds with them before. Don't mention how happy their hearts are with the expressions of the dudes and poor teenagers.

"Hmm... What will the patriarch call us for? Could it be that he entrusted us with a heavy responsibility?"

"If you are entrusted with an important task, you won't be so hasty. We will definitely discuss it for a while, and then arrange us to go out to practice and practice."

"Could it be to give us some material rewards first? Top-grade magic crystals, top-grade magic equipment and so on are the most lovable."

"Stop dreaming about you!"

You guys are guessing and pondering one sentence after another. At this time, Umont and Rudolph are sitting opposite each other, discussing the arrival of the three major families.

Hearing Rudolph's words, Yue Chuan finally understood why Rudolph was absent from such an important ceremony.If the autumn hunting competition is related to the foundation of the Eugenie family, then the matter of the new business route is related to the future of the Eugenie family.

"That's the way it is. Regarding the new trade route, the four major families have been competing for a long time. And this time the three major families are excluding the Eugenie family. It seems that there has been a private agreement, but according to my estimation, there should be someone within the family colluding with them But no matter what, the Eugenie family is now facing an extremely severe situation."

Yue Chuan heheed, took a sip of the red wine, and said, "Patriarch Rudolph, you also said that this is an extremely serious situation for the Eugenie family. I am not from the Eugenie family. What's the use of telling me these things?"

"But your mother is!"

Yue Chuan was silent.Rudolph must have figured this out, so he had a "long talk" with himself.

"Rudolph, you won, tell me, what are your plans."

Rudolph told about his fight with the three major families. "In these three rounds, as long as you win a random round, you will earn money. If you don't win any rounds, you won't lose too much. I think so. But whoever will play, I have to trouble you in this regard."

Yue Chuan snorted coldly, "Rudolph, we smart people don't talk dark words. In your heart, you want to lose all three games, push the Eugenie family to a desperate situation, and then ask me for magic equipment, right?"

A look of surprise appeared on Rudolph's face, he didn't expect Yue Chuan to see his little trick.Yes, he did intend to do so.Although he didn't use despicable means to steal the secrets of magic equipment like Scandi and Navia did before, but it didn't mean that he didn't have any desire for magic equipment.The key point of trade with foreign races in the grassland is the trade of iron and war horses. Even if the Eugenie family does not get a share of the trade, as long as the Eugenie family masters the secrets of magic equipment, they can immediately take the absolute initiative in trade, and not only the foreign races in the grassland, The Eugenie family can also sell magic equipment to other places, other empires. At that time, in order to be able to buy some magic equipment from the Eugenie family, the other three families will definitely beg Rudolph like their grandsons.

However, the key to all this is whether Yue Chuan is willing to reveal the secret of magic equipment.Therefore, Rudolph used a bitter strategy, first pushed himself to a desperate situation, and then used the family card to impress Yue Chuan.

"You don't need to think about magic equipment, three or two are fine, if it's like the kind of large-scale trade you mentioned, don't even think about it!" After a pause, Yue Chuan continued: "But this end-of-the-day competition is not hopeless." .When is the time for the competition? Give me the general information of the three opponents, and I will see who is more appropriate to play."

Rudolph was indeed a little disappointed when he failed to get the secret of the magic equipment, but he was still a little excited when he heard Yue Chuan said that there was a hope of winning the battle.Each of these three contests involves the interests of millions of gold coins, and they are long-term interests. Even with Rudolph's state of mind, he is a little bit uncontrollable.

However, Rudolph didn't know much about those three people.After all, those are the juniors of various families, such juniors, Rudolph can't even remember his own, let alone other people's.

However, Rudolph described the general characteristics of the three of them, especially the Teutonic Knights, and Rudolph explained everything in detail.

"Hoplites, swordsmen, and assassins, roughly these three aspects."

Soon, Yue Chuan had a candidate for the battle in his mind.Although he was not sure of winning, Yue Chuan didn't have too much burden in his heart. After all, Rudolph himself was broken, and doing so would not make the situation worse. At most, he would lose all three games.Anyway, the Eugenie family is the Eugenie family, regardless of a penny of the Lei Ze family.I did my best.

However, the reason why Yue Chuan felt so relaxed was because he had a better source of horse in his hand, that is the dragon horse jointly cultivated by the Sotheby family and himself.The reason why the four major families fought was because of the supply of war horses from the grassland alien race. But one day, when they discovered that there were horse breeds with higher quality and stronger fighting power in Starn City, they would even enshrine the war horses from the grassland alien race as treasures. , Are you fighting endlessly for it?

Won't!Absolutely not!

In other words, even if the three major families win, what they get is nothing more than a fruit of victory in the mirror. In a year or two at most, their fruit of victory will become worthless.

However, Yue Chuan is still looking forward to these three duels, because they will be the first collision between the "Dungeon and Warriors" transfer profession and the traditional profession on the mainland!
