Chapter 151
Norman didn't find a chance to ask Lancelot after he left the Earl's Mansion, because Derrick was sitting beside him.

He glanced at Derrick. This short boy was looking forward with his head sideways, looking very intently, as if there was a wonderful drama going on there.

They are now on the carriage heading to Mannheim. There is a lamp hanging on the roof of the carriage. The not-so-bright light dims the scenery inside the carriage. No one speaks, and the atmosphere is quiet.

Norman looked forward following Derrick's line of sight, and saw that there was nothing but the closed doors of the carriage.

I don't know what this guy is looking at.

Norman slandered secretly in his heart, and suddenly Derrick spoke.

"Ellen."

Norman looked at Derrick upon hearing this.

The two of them sat facing each other, sitting on one side. At this moment, it could be seen that Derrick had turned his head back and was looking at Norman.

"Count Billy likes you very much."

Norman nodded, not knowing whether he should give Derrick a smile or a humble expression.I couldn't decide for a moment, so I had no choice but to remain expressionless.

But Derrick didn't care, and continued: "That's good. There are some things I wanted to tell you slowly, but now that the Earl likes you so much, then I think, maybe I should do these things I told you in advance."

"As you know, Earl Billy is the son of the Grand Duke Roberts. He has the right to inherit the Grand Duke, but the Earl doesn't care about this matter at all. For this reason, Master Bella has told him a lot. Again, but the Earl has always only dealt with it superficially, and now that Master Bella has not been in Nicaro for a long time, the Earl even needs to deal with it..."

Following Derrick's slow talk, Norman finally got a general idea of ​​the Earl Billy's situation.

To put it simply, Earl Billy is not interested in inheriting the Grand Duke's title, but Bella and Derrick are very concerned about this matter. Carlo's good living environment is not good, and he has been running around to collect talents for Count Billy, and Derrick has been dreaming about this matter all the time.

Now that Derrick is looking for Norman to talk, he hopes that Norman will take this opportunity to gain Earl Billy's favor, get in touch with Billy more, guide the topic, so that Billy can pay more attention to the business, and do more things to let the Grand Duke Look, don't indulge in entertainment activities such as playing chess and drinking parties all day long.

After listening to what he said, Derrick seemed to be a minister of state in his speech, so it's no wonder that he was so arrogant when he approached Norman today.

But now his attitude has softened, and he is much more approachable. It is obvious that he is afraid after seeing Norman's rising status in Billy's eyes, and he also asks for Norman. This is why he is so flexible.

Facing Derrick's instructions, Norman responded casually: "Okay, okay." But he thought in his heart that it was none of his business.

He didn't care about it at all, but it made Derrick very comfortable, because Norman didn't take pride in being favored, which in his opinion was a very good comrade.

So the aura of the auxiliary minister came out again, and he pulled Norman to point out the country along the way, from the eldest son of the Duke of Roberts to the third son, all of them were not very good in his mouth, and the analysis turned out to be this The waste fourth son, Billy, has the best hope of inheriting the title.

Derrick's logical analysis, which he knew how out of touch with reality even with his ass, made Norman feel admiration in his heart. It's rare for a human being to be so blind.But of course he didn't show it on the surface, and he just echoed along the way, until Derrick had already talked about Earl Billy's succession to the title of Grand Duke, and the carriage finally arrived in Mannheim.

This carriage belonged to the Derrick family, not Mannheim's carriage, so they were not allowed to enter, and the two of them could only walk down the school gate and head towards the dormitory.

Along the way, Norman listened to Derrick yelling at Fang Qiu all the way, and finally walked to the dormitory area, and the two separated. He asked out his doubts, wanting to know what Lancelot was thinking, but Lancelot didn't answer his question right away, but told a story.

"In our earth world, there used to be a grand duke named Cao Cao..."

Lancelot narrated the story of holding the emperor to make the princes, and Norman seemed to understand it. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Do you want...to let me learn from Cao Cao?"

"Yes."

Norman was shocked.

Lancelot actually wanted him to be the Grand Duke? !
The step of holding the emperor is not difficult in Norman's view. Just like Earl Billy, Norman feels that he can deal with him without the help of the Knights Templar, but the key is to make Earl Billy the grand duke. One step is really too difficult!

Derrick just analyzed the other three sons of the Grand Duke for him. Although Derrick's words were obviously biased and he said that the three sons were worthless, it can still be seen from some facts How big is the gap between Earl Billy and these three brothers?

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the followers. The followers of Earl Billy’s brothers are either the chief of the Finance Department or the general of the Nicaro City Guard. Who are the followers of Earl Billy?According to Derrick's words, there are probably only three people, Bella, him and Derrick, a red-robed mage who is wandering around outside, and two black-robed mages who are still studying in Mannheim, what is the comparison with others? ?
The comparison of strength is too great.

Even regardless of followers, Earl Billy has no advantage in terms of these sons themselves.

Billy is just an ordinary person, neither a mage nor a knight, and according to what Derrick said just now, his brothers are all black robe mages!The gap between them is also huge.

Not to mention that Billy is busy playing chess and picking up girls all day long, while his brothers are "scheming against each other" (Derrick's language) all day long. There is also a huge gap in ambition between them.

No matter how you look at it, Earl Billy has no chance of winning from these sons, so he is very disdainful of Derrick's raving Norman in his sleep, and he deals with it very casually. He wanted to help Billy fight for a title, but he didn't expect Lancelot to think so too.

"This is impossible!"

Norman said that this plan is unreliable, and combined what Derrick revealed with his own thoughts, so that Lancelot realized how low the possibility of success of this idea is, but those in the His unfavorable conditions, in Lancelot's view, were not as bad as he imagined.

"It's not a good thing sometimes to have followers who are too powerful. Now that the Grand Duke sees the followers of his sons occupying those important positions, doesn't he have any idea? Especially the one with the city guard The second son who is closely related to the general of the army, has the Grand Duke not worried that his second son can't wait one day and wants to usurp his throne? Compared with this, this Earl Billy is the most convincing grand duke The duke rest assured son."

"It's not a disadvantage to have no ambition. On the contrary, it's a good way to protect yourself. Even you, Earl Billy's follower, think you're a useless guy with no hope of competing for the title. You What do you think the other three sons will think? They will only fight each other to the death, and no one will pay attention to Earl Billy, which makes us safe and gives us the opportunity to develop silently..."

Lancelot's language ability is excellent, and his analysis angle is even more tricky. Billy, who was originally at a disadvantage in Norman's view, actually has a lot of promise in Lancelot's mouth. Reasonable, no way to argue.

So Norman was a little moved when he heard it.

And when it came to the end, Lancelot threw out the last condition for winning.

"The most important thing is that these sons only have the nobles of Nicaro as their followers, but Earl Billy has you and thousands of wise curse mages in the earth world to advise him. Whose followers are they? Only then is it really powerful? So why don't you have confidence?"

Lancelot's last words can be said to be bragging, but Norman heard nothing wrong, and suddenly realized in his heart.

That's right, although their power seems weak and insignificant in reality, behind him, Norman, there are thousands of wise Forbidden Magic Masters in the earth world who are trying to find a way for them!

The more Norman thought about it, the more his heart became more and more excited, and the words of taking the emperor to order the princes thumped in his heart.

If this is successful, he will be the actual Grand Duke and Emperor of the Franciscan Territory!
From a farmer to a grand duke... The temptation was so great that Norman couldn't resist at all, and finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It's decided, do it!
