Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

The "lucky guy" who called himself Robinson left without disturbing the guards outside.

The "spoon"-like pointer left behind was placed together with the compass, and it fits perfectly. Joyce fiddled with it for a long time, and then carefully hid it to prevent the opponent from scoring twice.

The time they agreed on was next Monday. The reason why they needed a few days to buffer, the other party directly confessed the reason, saying that some preparations need to be made in advance.

Monster pathway, know a lot of mysticism knowledge, wouldn't he be a member of the "Life School"?

Hehe, he has a high probability of treating me as a member of the "Witch Sect"... Joyce guessed amusingly.

…………

The early morning sun rose slowly, and the dazzling sunlight lifted the veil-like mist.

On Friday, Joyce received an invitation to a dinner party from Charlie.

This made him quite surprised. After all, with Charlie's character, if he was really in a hurry to find him, he would come to visit him directly, but if it was just entertainment, the address on the invitation was wrong...

This is not the residence of Charlie, but the residence of his father, former rear admiral and current senior government official of Rorsted, Mr. Planck.

With doubts, Joyce was invited to go.

As soon as he entered the door, Charlie took the initiative to greet him and gave him a warm hug.

"Why didn't I see the other guests, did I come too early?" Joyce asked with a smile.

Charlie dragged him into the hall, explaining as he walked:

"Today is a family banquet, and you are the only one invited."

"Also, it's not me who wants to invite you, but my father, but he has some urgent business to deal with, so I went out to meet him."

Mr. Planck, we don't have much interaction, why did he specially invite me... Joyce raised his right foot for a short pause in mid-air, and then stepped into the spacious and bright hall with a calm demeanor.

After being seated, Charlie's face was filled with undisguised happiness, and he said lightly:

"I didn't expect you to do such a big thing. You really deserve to be my brother!"

Is there any necessary connection between the two... Joyce asked amusingly, "What did I do to surprise you?"

"Of course it's Major General Bright!"

Charlie whispered, then leaned closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"You've done it very well."

Joyce glanced at him, not surprised that Charlie knew the inside story:

"Mr. Planck is still developing your ability to handle official business?"

"Well, that's right."

Charlie gave an affirmative answer, but instead of the depressed mood before, there was a calm accustomed to it.

Leaning on the back of the comfortable chair, he sighed with emotion: "I find it interesting to handle official business. I can learn a lot of unknown secrets, but it's uncomfortable to keep these secrets."

Apart from his own family, Charlie is one of the only two friends he has since he crossed over... Seeing him make the current changes, I am inexplicably relieved that the "dog roommate" in his previous life found a girlfriend...

Joyce said sincerely: "When you have half of Mr. Planck's energy-raising skills, he will be completely at ease with you."

"well said."

A steady voice came from behind. Mr. Planck, dressed in civilian clothes, walked up to the two of them and said to Charlie:

"Whenever you can become Baron Best, I will be satisfied."

Then, he turned his attention to Joyce again, and said with admiration, "Well done."

"You've won the prize, Mr. Planck." Joyce said hurriedly and modestly... Suddenly he felt like "someone's child".

…………

The atmosphere at the dining table was quite relaxed and lively. Planck was like a gentle elder who was very kind to Joyce, which was very different from the usual blandness.

After a clink of glasses, he didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, he suddenly mentioned the situation in Ruen's country.

"Since His Majesty the King allowed commoners to obtain titles by donating gold pounds, although the kingdom's economy has improved, Backlund has also increased many new nobles."

"As this power grows stronger, they begin to make their own demands, and they actually demand to be qualified as a regular member of the nobility in the House of Lords... It's been especially fierce recently!"

What does this have to do with me? Although my baron status was acquired not too long ago, I am not envious of my status as a congressman at all... Joyce slandered, noticing Mr. Planck's seemingly non-existent scrutiny, and then pretended to be After thinking for a moment, he commented:

"Most of these people who can get noble titles with gold pounds are the top businessmen in the kingdom. They have a lot of wealth and capital in their hands. Now that they have improved their social status, they will definitely pursue higher-level interests. This is People's tendency to profit is unavoidable."

"As far as I know, many aristocratic families that have been passed down from generation to generation have gradually declined, and there is even only one title left..."

Joyce has a right to say this, because the Best family he belongs to is one of them.

"When the ancient aristocracy becomes weaker, those wealthy new classes who can really influence the situation will naturally come to power and use the money and interests in their hands to divide and corrupt the original aristocratic class to achieve their own demands~ www.NovelMTL.com~ If Joyce is really allowed to govern a country, there is a high probability that it will perish, but if he talks about his ability to rhetoric, he can talk about it for a whole day... After all, Das Kapital and the above The Ma Zhe lessons I have taken are still vivid in my mind.

He pulled out a lot of plausible theories and evidences, and finally came to the conclusion:

"Their demands may be satisfied, but these newly promoted aristocrats who rely on money to get seals will never be able to care about the glory of real aristocrats."

As a traditional nobleman, Planck was very satisfied when he heard the last sentence, and he looked at Joyce with admiration.

"You are right, the status of aristocrats cannot be measured by money, the glory above our heads comes from our ancestors, through war, through struggle... not those speculators who spend hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of gold pounds can be compared. of!"

Listening to this calm and powerful announcement, Joyce was excited on the surface, but actually complained in his heart: If you give me one million gold pounds, I don't need to be a baron, anyway, it's becoming more and more worthless...

After expressing his dissatisfaction with the domestic situation, Planck returned to calm and continued:

"However, you are right about one thing. The opposition of the House of Lords is gradually weakening against the demands of these businessmen. I believe that His Majesty the King will approve this unreasonable request soon."

This is exactly in line with George III's expectations, abandoning the original rules and building a new order... This is the general trend of history, and there is no way to avoid it.

Thinking of this, Joyce suddenly gave birth to a kind of passion, daring to change the sun and the moon into a new sky. This is probably the instinct of the big food empire people who have learned "dragon slaying" since childhood... However, there are gods in this world. He quickly put away his whimsical thoughts.
