I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

"The nobles of the Kingdom of Lugnica have no relevant obligations, so they are legally unable to move? Or because the slums have no benefits, so the nobles are unwilling to intervene?"

Nangong Xiao's directness made Crusch and Felix even more ashamed.

But Crusch still replied, "The latter."

"I understand the general situation." Nangong Xiao pushed the flat mirror on the bridge of his nose at some point, making it reflect a strange light.

At this moment, Felix was as if frightened by the strange light, couldn't help but swallowed dryly, and then asked, "Your Highness, Your Highness, do you want to..."

Before Felix finished speaking, Nangong Xiao raised his hand to interrupt, and looked at Crusch and said, "Cursch, let's not talk about whether you will really take that position in the future, now there is one who can A chance to greatly increase your personal prestige, are you interested in cooperating?"

"...Your Highness, is it related to the slums?" Crusch also became serious.

It's not that she has no compassion for the slums, but that she has been preparing for the war against the 'Moby Dick' with all her family's strength, and she has no spare energy to do other things.

"Yes." Nangong Xiao nodded and said, "I can provide all the needs for resettling 10 people, and even their future work and housing problems. I also don’t want to have a violent conflict with the nobles of the royal capital, so I need Crusch in your name and the people of Duke Karsten’s line.”

"Your Highness... the resettlement of nearly 10 people, not to mention the daily food consumption alone, is an astronomical figure. And once the relief starts, there is a high probability that refugees and poor people from the area near the capital will gather. If the time is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous."

Crusch didn't immediately refuse. In fact, all candidates for the throne with a little discernment knew that the slums were the best chance to gain popularity, but no candidate had the courage to mention it, because it was a bottomless pit. And it is a bottomless pit with no guarantee of income.

Nangong Xiao said, "This is better. The more people need to be helped, it is a good thing for you and me. As for the supply of supplies, I will take full responsibility. Crusch, you only need to send people who follow my arrangement , and blocking the intervention of those nobles in the royal capital."

"..." Crusch's slender eyebrows moved closer, and he pondered for a while before saying, "The nobles of the royal capital, especially the wise men's society, will not allow outsiders to intervene in the royal family's private land. affairs."

"Then don't do it in the slums."

As Nangong Xiao was speaking, he took out an overview map of the terrain near the capital from the table next to it, and pointed to a mountainous area more than ten kilometers southwest of the capital.

"Is there a lord in this rocky area?"

Crusch and Felix looked at each other, and seemed to understand this man's intentions. Although they didn't know how the other party would operate, they were also curious.

Crusch briefly identified the location on the map and said, "No, although legally it belongs to King Lugnica, it has never been officially entered into the register of private lands of the royal family. Now that the former king has passed away, it is considered public land of the Kingdom of Lugnica. "

"Is it feasible to buy this piece of land for private use?" Nangong Xiao asked again.

Crusch thought for a while, nodded and said, "In the name of my Karsten family, it is not difficult to buy this useless land, and I can easily convince the nobles and wise men of the royal capital to resettle refugees in the name of a candidate for the throne. Yes, but if His Highness wants to resettle the poor on this land, it seems very inappropriate, because this is a gravel mountain where food cannot be grown, and there are no minerals other than gravel, and there is no water source. No."

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a legally impeccable land use right, I will take care of the rest."

Hearing Nangong Xiao's confident assertion, the expressions of Crusch and Felix became even more strange, and they even felt that the person in front of them was a little too arrogant and took the situation for granted.

Of course, Nangong Xiao saw the thoughts of the master and servant, and said, "Whether it is feasible or not, you will see it with your own eyes. If you think it is not feasible, just stop the loss in time. After all, as long as you don't spread it around in the early stage , everyone knows about it, so even if you fail in the end, the price you pay will be very light. But once you succeed, the improvement of your own prestige is incalculable."

"Your Highness, I understand. In addition to the right to purchase land and resettle slums, I can only provide you with 100 people for the time being." Crusch gave the answer without thinking for long.

Regardless of personal feelings, she knew that the person in front of her had enough capital to do these things just because of the sacred cup of 'tea'. , not to mention how much wealth was exchanged, as long as he worked a little bit, Crusch was extremely confident in obtaining a fairly decent title for the person who mastered that kind of 'tea'.

Chapter 544 Preliminary Cooperation - Part [-]

But now it seems that the previous one suddenly 'invited' them to drink tea, it doesn't look abrupt at all.

This is to prove that in addition to the strong strength of the opponent, there is also a solid background.

At the same time, it is also a precious gift.

Although the acceptance process was a bit weird, it was undeniable that she, Felix and the others had accepted the 'gift' from the person in front of them. If they didn't do something about it, they would feel a little sorry.

In other words, Crusch is now more or less in a situation of 'eating people's mouths, but taking people's hands short', and this is what someone wants to see.

Hearing the number of people proposed by Crusch, Nangong Xiao estimated for a while, but nodded and said, "It's enough, but the 100 people must be your true confidant."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, he must be someone who has been tested and loyal to the Karsten family." Crusch said confidently.

"So the best, happy cooperation."

As Nangong Xiao spoke, he stood up from the sofa, and stretched out his right hand towards Crusch.

Crusch and Felix were slightly taken aback by this, not understanding what it meant.

Seeing that Master and servant of Crusch were like this, Nangong Xiao also reacted, "It seems that there is no handshake ceremony in this world, um, this is just a ceremony to express a consensus, it is optional, please don't worry about it."

Nangong Xiao didn't feel embarrassed, and after speaking calmly, she sat down again.

Crusch and Felix reacted after hearing the words, but saw that Nangong Xiao had already sat down, so they didn't say more about it, so as not to cause the other party's embarrassment, and Crusch changed the subject.

"Your Highness, since you are worried about resettling Lugnica's people, why don't you make a public appearance?"

From Crusch's point of view, although the fact that 'Flier Lugnica' is still alive basically cannot stop the continuation of the king's election, but this identity can also facilitate the Lugnica's people in front of him. do something.

"The nobles of the royal capital are not qualified to make me compromise, so in order to avoid a direct war, I don't want to use the identity of 'Flier Lugnica' for the time being. By the way, my name is Nangong Xiao, my surname is Nangong, and my first name is Xiao, if you feel awkward, you can call me by my name directly."

war...

Crusch and Felix's hearts moved, and they realized instantly that the person in front of them not only had the appearance, character and identity of 'Flier Lugnica', but also was unwilling to be enslaved by the 'dragon'.

And because of this, Crusch's heart became even more complicated, as if she didn't want to show her gaffe here, she stood up, "Nangong, Akatsuki, a very unique way of marking life, and a very special name, Nangong... Your Excellency, it's getting late, I should rest too, if Your Excellency Nangong needs anything, please feel free to call your servants."

"I see."

After Nangong Xiao nodded slightly, he picked up the books on the case table and continued to 'turn over' the books.

Crusch didn't say much, and after giving Felix a look asking him to take care of this person, he left the guest room on his own.

After the door of the guest room was closed, Felix boldly asked, "My lord... Oh, Your Excellency Nangong, you obviously know a lot about this world, but why do you know nothing about some of the most common knowledge? ?”

"There are some reasons, but it's inconvenient to say now, or rather, it's hard to explain." Nangong Xiao said without raising her head, "Just treat me as if I have selectively accepted 'Flier Lugnica' part of the relationship information."

"I-Is that so..." Felix certainly heard that this was perfunctory, but he still asked, "Your Excellency Nangong should be very clear about the relationship between Lord Crusch and the late fourth prince, right?"

"Well, it's clear."

"..."

Felix sighed secretly, but he didn't know what to say, so he frowned, and even the animal's ears drooped.

Nangong Xiao couldn't help but see the 'cute and lovely' appearance, and her eyelids twitched.

Nangong Xiao is sure that once some strong men with insufficient mentality have too much contact with this 'big boss', there is a high probability that they will fall into the vicious circle of 'philosophy♂' and cannot extricate themselves!

Of course he was a determined person, but he didn't want to get too close to this 'big guy', so he paused for a moment before speaking.

"Felix, go and rest first, I can already study these books by myself."

"Ah...really, then I...resign." Felix could tell that this guy didn't want him to stay, although he didn't quite understand it, but it didn't matter.

After Felix left, he let two maids come in, but they were dismissed by Nangong Xiao. He didn't need anyone to wait on him, especially outsiders.

After there were no outsiders in the guest room, Nangong Xiao also accelerated the reading and collection of these books, and at the same time asked Ling Qi in his heart.

Nangong Xiao: Xiao Qi, can I let Maiev come over?

[Zero Qi: This?Maiev and you are related, and my will to reveal this to the world should be fine.After all, you have the status of 'Flier', which means you are an aboriginal, and Maiev is your servant, so you can barely be considered a half aboriginal. In theory, the reaction of the will of the world should not be too big. Well, you should find a chance to try it. , if the will of the world reacts too violently and you let Maiev go back, I think it should be fine...probably. 】

Nangong Xiao: So not sure?

【Lingqi: That's right, the will of this world is too strange, and the previous experience is not consistent at all, but I think the system lord module unit that is subordinate to you should be fine, um, it should be nothing more. 】

Nangong Xiao: Yes, I know.

[Ling Qi: By the way, A Xiao, how do you plan to subvert the plot of this world?You know, if you kill an important character in the original book, it will definitely lead to a fierce rebound from the will of the world. Even if the important character in the original book dies early, it may not necessarily cause the self-collapse of the fantasy world, but it is not necessarily the case. A certain possibility, in terms of the rigid self-discipline mechanism of the world will in the fantasy world, there is basically no possibility of allowing it. 】

Nangong Xiao: I know, so I plan to let people in this world voluntarily change.

[Zero Qi: Oh?How voluntary?Brainwash Cai Yueang and Emilia? 】

Nangong Xiao: No, I intend to make them have to follow the general trend. Changes in the living environment will make all so-called scripts meaningless.

[Lingqi: Oh, I don't understand at all. 】

Nangong Xiao: ...Okay, just watch it, um, the world will of this world hasn't changed, right?

[Lingqi: No, and she's still the 'very good' kind. 】

Nangong Xiao: I see.

After stopping the communication with Lingqi, Nangong Xiao continued his book-turning journey...

......

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Xiao, who had been 'reading' books all night, did not feel tired. After going through the collection of books in Duke Karlsten's mansion that he could get, Nangong Xiao also had a general understanding of the world. have a certain grasp.

This world is not as wonderful as imagined, not to mention, when Nangong Xiao stopped to 'flip' the book and studied the magic system of this world, a maid came to inform that breakfast was ready.

Regarding this, Nangong Xiao followed the maid to freshen up, and then followed the maid to the restaurant.

At this time, Crusch had been waiting at the table for a long time.

Seeing Nangong Xiao enter the restaurant with the maid, Crusch also got up to greet him, and warmly invited Nangong Xiao to the table.

I have to say that Crusch is in good spirits today. She is already beautiful and heroic, but today she looks even more charming and dazzling, especially when she is well-dressed, she is a highly anticipated existence on any occasion. .

Unfortunately, a certain person didn't care about this, and accepted Crusch's hospitality casually, and seriously enjoyed his breakfast.

Crusch didn't care about this, and was even 'used to' it.

Still, she couldn't help but thank her.

"Your Excellency Nangong, I am really grateful."

"what?"

Nangong Xiao, who was eating toast, looked at Crusch in puzzlement. The vague speech made Crusch's mouth twitch slightly, but he spoke as calmly as possible.

"The cup of tea last night is really too precious."

"This? Don't worry about it." Nangong Xiao said casually, and continued his rhythmic eating.

In this regard, Crusch felt helpless, but also felt a lot of emotion.

That special cup of 'tea' last night was not simple. Not only did it allow Crusch to fall asleep peacefully last night, but in her sleep, the effects of that 'tea' were gradually fully activated, making her body Moisturized, more healthy and natural.

When I woke up this morning, I felt extremely greasy all over my body, and there was even a foul-smelling Crusch, but I was taken aback, but when she finished bathing and changing, she saw her delicate skin in the mirror, it was completely different Only then did I suddenly realize the truth.

That cup of 'tea' actually made her completely reborn, as if she was born again!

Later, when I learned that Felix and Wilhelm were in the same situation, I was even more convinced of the heaven-defying effect of that cup of tea, and I was even more shocked by it.

While the three master and servant were shocked, they couldn't help but fell into helplessness.

Because combined with the plan someone proposed to Crusch last night, the three of Crusch's master and servant understood that it was 'calculated'.

Because this 'important gift' that they accepted inexplicably is too precious, it is no longer measurable in material value, how could they not express something after accepting such a valuable thing?

From this point of view, that person really knows their character and conduct well.

Of course, we don't know the truth, because the three of Crusch will not take the initiative to expose such things, otherwise, the relationship between everyone will be directly downgraded from a vague 'partner' to an unfamiliar trader.

This was not a good thing for Crusch.

At least, not in her interests, nor in the interests of the Karsten family.

She was able to take over the position of Karsten's family governor before she was 20 years old, and she managed the huge Karsten leader and family in an orderly manner, so it can be seen that she is a qualified leader.

If it wasn't for Wang Xuan, she might have taken over from her father who was not in good health long ago, and officially became the Duke of Karsten, leading everything in the Karsten family justifiably.

Back to business, when Crusch enthusiastically entertained Nangong Xiao for dinner, a servant came to report that Reinhardt was waiting in the living room.

Regarding Reinhardt's move to the door early in the morning, it was not beyond expectations, whether it was Crusch or Nangong Xiao, it was clear from Reinhardt's attitude towards the royal blood last night.

It would be a little strange if this seemingly staunch supporter of the royal family did not show up this morning.

So after Nangong Xiao and Crusch had breakfast, they met Reinhardt in the living room.

As soon as Reinhardt saw Crusch and Nangong Xiao coming, he respectfully saluted Nangong Xiao as a knight, and said, "Your Highness may need a guide, so I didn't invite you. Your Highness, please forgive me."

Nangong Xiao shook his head to express his indifference, and said, "I don't have anything to do today except to walk around and get acquainted with the city. It would be better if you have time to be a guide."

"This is my honor."

Reinhardt saluted again before formally saluting Crusch.

It can be seen from this that Reinhardt is rigid and persistent in etiquette.

Nangong Xiao said after Reinhardt and Crusch made polite remarks.

"I'll ask one of my subordinates to come over, and we'll set off later."

After speaking, Nangong Xiao walked to the courtyard outside the living room.

This made Crusch and Reinhardt slightly taken aback, but they quickly followed...
