king of ros

Chapter 260 Dominance
Seeing this, Rostislav sighed uncontrollably. It seems that such a thing must be done by him after all, and he will help this kid after all.

"Well, I will send some pastors over there, and I happen to have a group of people in my hands to join the dispatch, but don't let go of your work there, and urge them to convert. These people may become your basic board in the future Yes, don’t be stingy when making promises, any high official and rich salary are the most basic, no matter what the promise is.”

The prince of Moscow said to Adam as if he was educating his younger generation. The concern in his words was strong, but that was all he said, and he did not continue this topic.

Because he knew that there was no point in continuing. After all, this kind of thing was Adam's business, and he should do it by himself.

As Rostislav once said, he did not want to install a puppet monarch in Bulgaria, but a real monarch, and this has never changed.

What he, Rostislav, never needed was a puppet, but a friend and a monarch who could help.

Facing the persuasion of the Prince of Moscow, Adam nodded. In fact, he was a little surprised in his heart. He thought that Rostislav would directly take over these matters rudely.

But now it seems that Rostislav is acting very gentle, letting go of everything to him, and teaching him how to do it like a junior.

In fact, Adam really didn't know how to do it, which was why he was so distressed. Although his teacher Alaire was excellent in battlefield skills, he also knew a lot about court political struggles.

But let him do those things between people, he is really painstaking, and there is nothing to teach Adam.

Adam didn't dare to talk about this with Rostislav, because he was afraid that Rostislav would take this opportunity to take control of the army in his hands.

Although he knew in his heart that he would not be able to keep it when the time came, but he could delay it for as long as possible. After all, he felt safe with troops in his hands.

For a long time, although the Moscow princes and his wife had treated him very kindly, deep down in his heart, Adam regarded himself as a puppet of Rostislav.

Much of the behavior of the prince of Moscow who regarded him as an equal monarch was actually regarded by him as a face project in his heart, and it was just displayed to the outside.

After all, Bulgar's court was also full of conspiracies, and it was impossible for Adam not to be aware of these.

And beside him is Alaire as a teacher, this loyal servant of the Dulu family has taught Adam many things.

Now, as the time to conquer Bulgar draws in, Adam thinks that sooner or later Rostislav will recover something from him.

For example, the control of the Bulgar troops, so that these people can be used as cannon fodder, and by consuming these people, the controllability of the Adam puppets can be ensured.

When Rostislav asked about the number of Bulgar troops and the state of belief, Adam thought that Rostislav took the opportunity to take away these powers.

But Adam didn't mind that Rostislav took away these powers, and he didn't mind being a puppet of the Ross people. He was very grateful for the care of the prince and his wife, and for the protection and care they provided.

If what they need in return is to erect themselves as a banner, so be it.

And most importantly, if you don't want to be a puppet, how can you regain power.

Allaire once warned him, don't be afraid of being used by others. Being used by others shows that you are useful. If no one takes advantage of you, then there is no hope of restoring the country.

So you have to become this puppet before you can consider what actually holds power.

But then, what Rostislav mentioned made Adam feel cold.

After hearing the following words, the Bulgar prince in exile immediately thought that Rostislav's words just now were just consolation thrown out to appease him.

"Master Adam, I want to talk about Ross's interests in Bulgar after you return to Volga Bulgar. Some things should be settled first and then not messed up, do you think so?"

This is blatantly throwing out interest demands, and Rostislav can think of anything he wants with his toes, nothing more than various trade concessions, and the supply of Bulgarian resources to Moscow.

This kind of thing is also helpless, the so-called war, isn't it just because of these things, he has already been mentally prepared for this.

"Everything will come according to your request, Mr. Rostislav. I really can't repay you for your help. You can take whatever you want."

Adam was very obedient, no matter what he wanted, he just took it. Anyway, these things were not his, so he just promised them casually, and waited for himself to settle down, and then talked about other things.

"You are really direct, then I will not be polite."

Rostislav took the wine on the table and drank it down.

"I want Ross merchants to obtain trade rights in Bulgar. All Bulgar towns cannot refuse their entry, and they must also open up business transactions. In addition, regarding Bulgar artisans, I hope Bulgar can let us take some of the Bulgar Artisan Gal. That's all we want."

"Um, is that all?"

This made Adam a little surprised. He originally thought that Rostislav wanted the lion to open his mouth, but now these demands...

To be honest, Adam has read so many history books, but he has never seen such an easy request.

Shouldn't these things be the most basic?Instead of taking it on the table as a condition.

"Master Adam, Lord Adam, it seems that you still have some prejudice against me in your heart after all."

Rostislav naturally noticed his expression, the prince raised his wine glass, and immediately the attendants filled it up for the prince.

Then the prince began to shake the fine wine from Bulgar, and the red liquid painted a slight blush on the wall of the cup.

"What I need is a friend, and you are enough to be my friend, and we have actually become friends. Isn't a friend supposed to help each other? I am not a greedy person. A gift, a justice for friends, Akkad's beastly act of killing relatives is a crime worthy of death under any nation and belief, everyone should crusade against such a bastard, my friend—you — that justice is needed, and that he should most personally execute this piece of trash."

Rostislav confessed his attitude very frankly. As he has always emphasized, what he needs is friends who can help each other, not a puppet who can kill him.

So he sent troops to get "justice" for his friend, so that this friend can provide help in the future.

The prince of Moscow knew his abilities very well, and he absolutely could not control a country like Bulgar.

Instead of turning this place into a quagmire that devours resources or a neighboring country that may rebel at any time because of squeezing, it is better to have a real friend, a friend who can send troops to help him.

"I understand, Monsieur Rostislav, of course I am your friend."

Adam hesitated for a while, and then he said this sentence firmly.

Of course he understood Rostislav's subtext. In fact, he had heard these words many times, but he had more or less regarded them as false before.

And now, at last, he truly believed in Rostislav, that kind of belief from the bottom of his heart.

He was amazed by Rostislav's pattern. He had met many people and heard many things over the years, but he had never seen anyone as far-sighted and magnanimous as Rostislav.

"I'm glad you said that, Lord Adam."

Looking at Adam's handsome face that was not like a man, Rostislav smiled, smiling to gain trust. He could feel that the last bit of estrangement between him and this boy disappeared.

"Then come and enjoy the performance, Master Adam. When the performance is finally over, I have to announce something."

While talking, Rostislav drank himself another glass of wine.

And under him, there was another burst of cheers, a burst of cheers for the performance, but in Adam's view, it was like cheers for the monarch, making him look so majestic.
