In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

G.

This is amazing. Humans and elves have developed feelings for each other? He can't accept this!

Damn it! After you die, I don't believe that Fulilian will stay in your family forever!

He knew that there was no way to win them over, and today's matter was not over. Even with the support of the Shield Hero and the legendary magician, plus Count Medici's record of defeating two heroes, the five people behind Kyle might not be able to win together.

As for mobilizing the army, that is impossible. The next day the whole country will know that the royal family has sent troops to strangle Count Medici.

"How about this? I'll definitely give you a satisfying surprise tomorrow."

Prince Kyle's heart is bleeding

"What's a surprise? Iwamine Naofumi asked the prince to translate for me."

Green did not nod in agreement, but instead asked his own people, the somewhat confused Naofumi Iwamine, with a somewhat puzzled tone.

"Huh? How do you translate this?"

WTF?

The Shield Hero didn't understand and almost couldn't maintain his state. Why are you asking me about this?

"Let me ask you to translate. What does surprise mean?"

However, Green pretended not to hear and made things difficult for his subordinates, while staring at Kyle's neck with a bad look.

"No need for translation, Lord Green, what is a surprise?"

What is going on?

Kyle saw it at a glance, and he was so angry that his teeth were about to break. This Medici barbarian was just pretending to be crazy and stupid, and wanted to make a promise and bargain now!

Damn it! How come the barbarian has such a clever mind?

He finally understood why some people had always said that the Medici family was difficult to deal with. Although he had no manners, he was very smart!

His Royal Highness the Prince asked in return:

"Don't you understand what a surprise is?

Green opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of mist, his tone becoming colder.

"I just want you to translate what a surprise is!

“Surprise, surprise”

Iwamine Naofumi thought he'd done something wrong. Why did he feel like he was being tortured?! He naturally had no idea that a certain earl was secretly disliking his stubbornness.

"I asked you to translate it. What the hell, it's called a surprise!"

"What the hell is a surprise!"

The air seemed to be frozen, and heavy rain poured down from the sky, soaking everyone's clothes. It seemed as if they were just waiting for the order to make five hundred swordsmen emerge from the ground in an instant and hack the damn Count Medici to death with their swords.

boom! ! !

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, illuminating the faces of less than ten people present: the silent Freelian, the murderous Green, the bewildered Iwamine Naofumi, the gritting his teeth Kyle Phoenix, and the gray-robed man who was silently worried about not being able to return.

How to choose?

Was it his own insignificant dignity, which seemed to be humiliated in front of him, and the high price he paid? Or was it the throne he would obtain after he had done his job well?

Kelben had no choice.

He touched his face and put his messy hair behind his head, revealing his handsome face with a deadly smile.

"The surprise is that the Medici family's weapons acquisition plan will be fully approved at tomorrow's meeting! Plus, an indemnity of 800,000 gold coins! And the bandits who dared to assassinate Lord Green in the city will be wiped out!"

"translate."

Green said this to Naofumi Iwamine, and the Shield Hero, who finally knew what the surprise was, felt as if he had been pardoned. To be honest, he didn't understand what was going on at all, and he just felt sweating profusely.

"The surprise is that the Medici family's weapons acquisition plan will be fully approved at tomorrow's meeting! Plus, an indemnity of 800,000 gold coins!!!! And we'll wipe out the bandits who dared to assassinate Lord Green in the city!"

Eight hundred thousand?

Green looked flattered. Wow, they are worthy of being the royal family. They are so rich!

Splashy!

What does 800,000 mean? A normal earl's family's annual tax revenue is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand. After deducting the army maintenance and various expenses, there will probably be only about 100,000 or 200,000 left in a year. An ordinary earl cannot freely dispose of this amount of money, as the family is not just one person.

However, as a crown prince, the royal resources he can control are limited. The 800,000 is probably the limit of what Kyle can mobilize. He can't take out more. Even for the 800,000, he probably has to borrow money from everywhere.

"Prince Kyle, so this is what a surprise is."

Green was not very satisfied, which made Prince Kyle, with a bleeding heart, want to kill him with a knife... That was 800,000 gold coins, not 800,000 copper coins.

"Not enough. I'm still short of people, technicians, and books. I wonder if the royal family is interested in buying my whip artifact?"

What is yours?

That clearly belongs to our royal family!

"Don't go too far!"

Prince Kyle couldn't help but say, "Isn't 800,000 enough? Is your desire the abyss?"

"Shut up! Stop being so naive!!!!!!!"

Green attacked in vain, grabbing Kyle's collar and attacking him so fast that no one could react. The royal family members didn't even have time to take action.

"Everyone has to pay for their past, and the royal family is no exception."

Gulu.

Being lifted up and half hanging in the air, the dark eyes made Kyle, who was originally just angry, feel a flash of fear in his heart.

Chapter 103 Huge Compensation, Assassination Storm Thirteen

"Damn it you win, let me go."

In silence, Kyle had no choice but to submit to the throne, and everything was not worth mentioning.

"Tsk, wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier, Your Highness?

Green sneered and let go of his hand.

The two negotiated on the spot.

Under the combined effects of Q, U, N, and the two interests, or the political issues, the United States can only allow itself to be compromised.

As a result, the Phoenix family had to donate 150,000 serfs to the Medici family within one year, of which the number of young and middle-aged people could not be less than 50,000. They also obtained a certain type of craftsmen of various types, such as leatherworkers, shoemakers, blacksmiths, shipbuilders, and even herbalists, as well as some book reserves.

However, as a deduction, the gold coins shrank from 800,000 to 500,000. But there is no doubt that Green made a lot of money!

These materials cannot be bought with money. Even if the 150,000 people are bought out of the slave market in the kingdom, they cannot be bought. Especially those craftsmen, these are the precious savings of the nobles and are generally difficult to get.

There are also precious books of knowledge. Knowledge is always one of the most important things.

However, he still felt a little regretful that he could not get more. This amount of wealth was just a slight loss for the royal family.

Even ordinary nobles occupy at least several counties, with an apparent population of one or two million, but if the hidden population is included, there is no problem doubling the population, and the royal family will be even larger.

Seeing the prince's almost broken expression, Green let Kyle and his group go with satisfaction.

The rain was still falling, and a shallow magic barrier floated in the air, blocking the moisture from Mother Earth, bringing some warmth to the three people present. But this was definitely not a good idea, so the three of them got on the two wolves brought by Naofumi Iwamine and hurried back to the inn.

First, I met with Hyo Saburo and his wife. I originally thought that they would be unwilling to have contact with me because they were involved in an assassination case, but who knew that these two people were strangely excited, like a child who liked Ultraman and saw Tiga.

I really wasn't afraid at all. Instead, I felt a sense of pressure. It was a really powerful feeling.

"Assassination? Is this the legendary assassination of the nobles? This is amazing!!"

"Hahaha, now I can introduce my daughter to Lord Green without any worries. I'm sure she will have a pleasant journey."

After that, the two of them told Green the specific situation. It seemed that their daughter had recently come to the ancient capital of Belze with her friends. Her name was Huihui.

The couple left a letter to their daughter as a keepsake, hoping that Green could use some backdoor access.

"it is good."

He totally couldn't understand the Red Demon Tribe's logic, but since the matter was beneficial to him, Green naturally wouldn't stop him. Now he was too sleepy to care about these trivial matters. If he wasn't afraid that the Red Demon Tribe's matter would urge him, he wouldn't even want to come to see the couple.

After telling the Black Feather Guard and the others that everything was fine, he went to take a shower. However, because he was so tired, Green didn't even have the heart to play games with Fulilian. With the help of the maid Setsuna, he quickly wiped himself and returned to the double room.

Stepping on the thick, hand-woven carpet with intricate and exquisite patterns, it felt like walking on clouds. Compared to the slippery wilderness, he finally returned to the warm room, which gave him the feeling of returning home to relax after working hard for 996 in his previous life.

"I'm really tired."

He just lay down on the bed.

A massive, soft four-poster bed sat in the center of the room. Its posts were crafted from intricately carved oak, adorned with mysterious runes and elegant vine patterns. A heavy velvet curtain, trimmed with gold and pearls, hung from the headboard. Gently pulling it aside, it revealed a mattress covered in soft goose feathers and delicately embroidered silk linens.

Next to the bed is an exquisite bedside table inlaid with gems and amber, and on it is a silver oil lamp that emits a soft and warm light.

so comfortable.

He turned over again, looked at the ceiling, and then turned to the wall. There were some well-known stories on the oil paintings, such as one about the story of the Pema royal family leading humans to defeat the demi-humans hundreds of years ago.

It's so annoying.

Green occasionally felt that it was a bit annoying. Why should he get involved in these messy things in the royal capital? Wouldn't it be better for him to cultivate his own talents among the leaders?

Oh, you made hundreds of thousands of gold coins and hundreds of thousands of serfs in one go?

That's okay, please come more often.

"crunch"

The door suddenly opened, and it was a female elf.

Fulilian had just come out of the bath, wrapped in a loose white bathrobe. The bathrobe was soft and smooth, fitting her body curves perfectly while covering her key parts, adding a touch of hazy beauty.

The belt of the bathrobe was tied around her slender waist, highlighting her slender waist that could be held in one hand, while also allowing the hem of the bathrobe to spread out naturally, vaguely revealing her straight and long legs, and graceful hip line. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and every step she took seemed to carry a light rhythm.

Gulu.

Green swallowed and was about to do something, but when he felt the slight pain in his body, he gave up the idea.

The female elf sat by the bed and casually cast a few spells. She had gained some experience and could cast some early warning spells.

After blowing out the candle, Fulilian rolled up the quilt and wrapped herself tightly, feeling a little sleepy.

"Green, is this really okay?"

It was the first time she saw the naked and bloody fight among the nobles. It turned out that even in a glamorous and cumbersome society, the nobles would use such crude assassination methods.

Wait, glamorous?

At this moment, the female elf's mind flashed through the image of Medici's group of officers who were always thinking about drinking and fighting and looking for the widow, and she couldn't help but delete this idea.

But to be honest, what happened today had some impact on her.

Green was silent for a while. According to the explosive logic in the novels of Eastern time travelers, he should lead his men to attack the royal capital regardless of the consequences, but this was irrational.

The most direct example is the king in Game of Thrones. He relied on his soldiers to capture the capital but was sidelined by the nobles. Some things cannot be achieved just by walking on the butt.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Even if I report the Pema royal family now, it won't do me any good. The greater good is our choice."

He raised his hand to the ceiling, wanting to see the sun, moon and stars through the obstruction.

Outside the window, rain hits the leaves and thunder rumbles, but it gives people a strange sense of comfort.

"Nflillian, that's how we are. Personal grudges are certainly important, but what's more important is profit. I promised you that the Medici family will give you peace of mind."

"Safe?"

Fulilian asked with some confusion. He found that Green really liked to say this word.

"Yes, everyone has their own pursuits. Becoming a wealthy person, becoming an official, or writing novels are all just for the sake of peace of mind."

"Our Medici family is not strong enough, so we need to strengthen ourselves as much as possible, so that I can feel at ease."

Especially when he knew that the Demon King, the Bone King and a group of inexplicable creatures would come to end the world, he felt uneasy and time was running out.

Is it really urgent?

He glanced at Fulilian and thought, he didn't seem that tired either?

“It doesn’t seem that urgent.”

Events are like water in a puff. As long as you are willing to squeeze it, there will always be some.

He then spent two hours proving it.
