I have a shelter

George picked up a glass of wine in the outer hall and looked toward the inner hall while drinking. His eyes couldn't help but linger on Sophia's white shoulders for a moment.

Sophia is a member of the business negotiation team, apart from Tanya and Wallace. One of the few people who can be treated seriously by the Eldar nobles. She is currently cooperating with Gaster to be responsible for the logistics of the valley. She has played a great pacifying effect on the Rodunk nobles who later came to the valley, and she is also very loyal to the Iron Wall Knights.

After that, when the business relationship between the valley and Erda gradually expanded, the Rodunk nobles were bound to join the trade - they had many connections and connections, and the nobles who were deceived into starting a business in the valley were all elites. Even the policies in the Valley are extremely balanced and even more biased towards the common people. But these nobles, who had been defrauded of a lot of their capital, were still the fastest after they stood on the same starting line as the civilian entrepreneurs in the valley.

Many people have already accumulated their first pot of gold. And they often have many relationships and relatives abroad. After the incoming trade is opened, it cannot only be the official business group. This 'traffic' is too small. It may be able to meet the military needs of the shelter, but it cannot meet the people's livelihood!

This made George discover that the asylum's exploitation of those nobles was a bit too much. There may be backlash and side effects in the future. And these elites who are literate, well-connected, and have channels cannot be used in shelters. They all use illiterate people, old peasants and big-headed soldiers.

After all, in this world, there is no ‘learning’ and no enlightenment education. The new world must not become a wizarding society where wizards dominate and manage everything, and mortals cannot control their destiny.

As a result, some nobles with suitable ideas and character stood out. They understand politics, people's livelihood, and business better than the wizards, and they value human life more than the wizards!

George gradually discovered that he could not take too big a step. After the transition from enfeoffment to centralization, it would probably take decades of transition during that centralization. Therefore, the rules and policies of the shelter have gradually become more balanced, giving everyone a chance.

After these nobles came to the valley, they followed Gaster and Krober and played a great positive role in the shelter. Many of their ideas and actions were good, and they were the innovative faction of the nobles. From George's point of view, the framework they established in valley politics is more suitable for transition. So there are some things that must be done by them.

But they are getting stronger and stronger, and their energy is getting bigger.

Sophia's appearance was a turning point. Charles was now a king, and she was now a princess and a duchess. The most important thing is that she is still the daughter of Adeline!

As the leader of the Rodenk nobles, Bigast has a higher centripetal force. The relationship is closer to myself, and I obey my own words, and I am integrated with myself in terms of identity, without any small thoughts.

The smart Gaster followed her early, knowing that his boss had some things that were not appropriate to mention directly to him, but he could use Sophia to weigh the direction of his work - lest many heroes follow him in the end. As his status rises, his domineering attitude goes too far. This caused the boss to throw in another person like Volpe to clean up.

At least fish yourself out.

Therefore, the elite team cultivated by Gaster has a new backer and is close to George again. From time to time, the nobles also had 'heart-to-heart talks' with Sophia. George used Sophia to pay closer attention to them, and these people were getting more and more right about their new future in Rodenk.

The valley has moved from enfeoffment to centralization.

Labels such as Lord of Dawn and King of the West were gradually put on George by nobles and commoners.

Sofia has recently been weighing in with Gast on a more appropriate, open specification. In order to avoid the iron law of the sanctuary from pressing the nobles too tightly, leading to population loss or even traitors.

The reformist nobles, under the guidance of the priests, gradually followed their ancient noble ancestors as their models and had the same faith as the Knights of the Dawn. Regained the supreme honor of ancient nobles protecting the earth.

As a great noble, Sophia has a very good grasp of how to weigh things up. After having the aristocratic reformist team and George's guidance, she already knew a lot of tricks, and she also had a deeper understanding of the aristocrats' routines.

After the business negotiations, she and Gast took charge of the follow-up matters of the business. Within the framework set by the Sanctuary and the Erda Mission, flesh and blood are constantly being filled. Future trade will require the participation of many unofficial caravans, otherwise it will not be able to meet people's livelihood and commercial prosperity will not develop. Support the huge army and losses in the valley.

After seeing George walking in, many noble ladies nodded in salute and saluted. "Your Majesty the Duke" was heard one after another. George nodded in return, feeling a little uncomfortable.

After Alfonso and others heard George coming in, they slowly stood up with Sofia and others on the opposite side. He finally said to Sofia and others.

"Duchess, your proposal couldn't be better!" Alfonso said with shining eyes: "Few people are willing to participate in the 'purchasing' thing. Unless it is to form a large sailing fleet in the valley. But the various eliminated 'components' in the hands of the Elda nobles can only be discarded in the hands of the nobles, but they can play their true role in the hands of the forbidden wizards in the valley! "

The Kingdom of Elda is a major maritime trade country, and many of the antiques that have been eliminated from the Forbidden Sanctuary have been acquired by these rich people. The magic industrial system in the kingdom is far more complete than that of Rodunk. This can be of great help to a shelter that has just started its alchemy industry.

George and Alfonso had discussed purchasing on behalf of others before. In the exchange of interests, Alfonso agreed to give up a small amount out of political considerations - these things are hard to change and cannot be bought with money. Therefore, no matter how much the Eldar people earn from the price difference, it is meaningless. And these things that can be enchanted, produced metal, and forged in batches are strategic items that will not be sold to anyone.

Therefore, the equipment that Erda can flow into the valley cannot meet the needs of the shelter.

But in fact, over the years, Elda still has many obsolete components and scraps.

In the royal capital of Darkens, George obtained the blueprint of the Demonic Nexus, as well as various components, equipment, and alchemy furnaces that could not be carried. Under the leadership of Anthony and Roosegaarde, the wizards were able to renovate the scraps purchased from the Eldar people, or reuse some of the accessories.

When the magic industry establishes a prototype, many things can be produced by oneself! And the waste products that flow into the valley will also have greater value under the processing of these alchemy equipment!

A few words interrupted George's thoughts. He looked towards the seat and found that everyone had seen him stand up.

"My lord." "My lord." "My lord the Duke." "Boss"

After seeing George enter the semi-study, Sofia and others nodded, packed their things and prepared to leave.

Duke Alfonso gave George a warm hug and mentioned his intention to stay in the valley for a while. In addition to planning to return with George and be his tour guide in Elda, he also had a better idea. reasons.

Look for untapped negotiation value.

"When are you planning to travel?" Alfonso said excitedly, as if he was extremely excited when he thought that George wanted some temple knights to go to Elda: "The royal capital of Elda is far more beautiful than the Blue Water City. Nearly prosperous. And the girls of Elda are the sweetest!”

Having said this, this guy said excitedly: "Many ladies are already admiring the 'Knight of Divine Grace', especially my younger sisters. Elda will definitely welcome you warmly!"

Sofia, who was listening with a smile on her face, originally planned to say a few words to cheer her up, but after hearing these words, she couldn't help but look blank. I didn't know what to say for a long time

"Alfonso, your voice can actually be louder." George looked at Sofia and laughed awkwardly. Alfonso's previous words were almost like pimping him. Although PC breaking shoes is very common among nobles, it is even semi-public.

But no matter what Sophia thinks, it is extremely inappropriate to say such things in front of others.

Moreover, how could he have such leisure?

However, George knew that Alfonso's original intention was not actually that, he just couldn't wait to support him by himself.
