Margarida Mag was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect that Goethe's next plan would be like this.
"Is it a bit too much to hire 200 bards to go to the taverns, inns, and squares of Fabol to sing our songs?"
The second daughter of the Tulip family chose to be ambiguous when talking about "romance".
Although she can be very confident when acting in front of the public.
But when she was alone with Goethe, she was still a little embarrassed.
For this, Margarida admired Goethe very much.
That's so thick-skinned!
It’s thicker than the corners of Bear Castle’s walls!
"Deliberately?"
"Why do you think so?"
"I have provided the people of Faber with after-dinner entertainment that they love to see and hear. They like to see these things, so they will naturally believe them. As for those who never want to believe it?"
"Even if you put hard evidence in front of them, they will insist it is fake and forged."
"Even if you silenced these people at the time, they might still say something...putting aside the facts."
As Goethe spoke, he unbuttoned the collar of his military dress shirt.
Military uniforms look great, but good looks come at a price.
At least, he was strangled and had difficulty breathing.
call!
The moment he unbuttoned his clothes, Goethe instantly felt the freedom .
He raised his hand and poured himself a glass of water. After drinking it, he looked at Margarida.
The second daughter of the Tulip family waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need it. She just watched Goethe pour herself another glass and drank it down in one gulp.
She frowned slightly.
Because, this is a bit impolite.
According to the education she received since childhood , one should not make any noise whether eating or drinking.
However, the second daughter of the Tulip family soon relaxed her brows.
This is not Faber!
Besides, she has already run out, why should she still observe such etiquette?
Thinking of this, Margarida walked to Goethe, poured herself a glass of water, and then drank it in big gulps, imitating Goethe's example.
"ha!"
After drinking, Margarida breathed out loudly, causing Goethe to look at her in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Margarita was a little shy.
"Nothing. If I hadn't just had a drink, I would have thought you were drinking."
Goethe shrugged.
Speaking of drinking, Margarida's face turned slightly red.
She thought of her ugly behavior at the party in Xiongbao. Although it seemed to be well controlled in the eyes of normal people, it was embarrassing in Margarida's eyes.
After all, ordinary people don't know the so-called "horse urine story".
“People change.”
"Due to the time and environment, it will change into something different from what we remember..."
"Your appearance won't change when you're drunk."
"Because, that's nature!"
"People can't change their nature!"
In response to Margarida's words, Goethe said straightforwardly.
This made the second daughter of the Tulip family even more uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to use the previous topic to make Goethe completely shut up about the "horse urine story", but now she felt that the more she explained, the worse it would be.
And the next moment, Margarida saw Goethe with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
Instantly, the second daughter of the Tulip family reacted.
“Not really.”
"You reminded me."
As he spoke, Goethe gestured the word "horse urine" with his mouth.
Margarida was so angry that she hit Goethe's chest.
Of course, I didn’t really put in any effort, I just did it for the sake of showing my appreciation.
Goethe just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Margarida looked at Goethe standing in front of her with a smile on her face, and could not help but laugh along with him. The second daughter of the Tulip family returned to the sofa - the sofa she was most accustomed to. The back of the cushion was no longer hard at this time, and it was even more comfortable to sit on.
She leaned there and looked at Goethe again.
"Goethe, are you this nice to every lady?"
"No!"
"You are the exception!"
Goethe said this in a powerful voice.
Although the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, this special treatment still makes the second daughter of the Tulip family feel happy, and she can't help but ask.
"Oh, why?"
Margarida looked at Goethe expectantly.
Such expectations did not come out of the blue.
But it was buried much earlier .
Not when we first started working together.
But when the roses are flying around you.
At that time——
The wind is always gentle.
Goethe looked at Margarida who was "into the play" and the smile on his face became more gentle. He raised his hand and placed it on Margarida's ear. His fingers rubbed Margarida's ear and said in the most sincere tone: "Because, you have money."
Margarida's smile froze.
The second daughter of the Tulip family almost poured the water in the cup onto Goethe.
She swore that the reason she didn't do so was definitely not because of the education she received since childhood, but because Goethe took two steps back after saying this.
"Can't you just coax me?"
Margarida suddenly asked in a coquettish tone.
The voice is crisp and has a hint of charm.
Especially Margarida's eyes, which are full of grievance and seduction, and can arouse men's desire.
But Goethe took two steps back again.
"Um?"
"Compared to how real you were just now, you are really 'fake' now - you probably want to test me, make me feel a little guilty, and then splash me with water after I get close to you?"
"If you really want to do this, you must control the cup in your hand. Its intention is too obvious."
Goethe spread his hands and shrugged.
"If a man remains calm at a time like this, he will be suspected of being incompetent in some way."
Margarida changed the subject and began to directly attack the "vital points" that any man would care about.
“When you are suspected, you don’t need to prove it.”
"I told you, some people will turn a blind eye."
"At this time, all we need is..."
"Pick a pose."
His voice became deeper and deeper. Goethe picked up the illustrated copy of Little Liu Bei and turned a page. Then he walked towards Margarida, who was originally smiling, but immediately shrank back.
"Feel sorry!"
"I was wrong!"
"I was wrong just now!"
The second daughter of the Tulip family immediately admitted her mistake and apologized.
At this moment, she once again faced the reality: the man in front of her was indeed of a higher level than her.
But I still feel a little unwilling.
Pure desire to win.
"If, I mean if, I give you a large sum of money, much more than 5 million gold grams, will you treat me the same way you treat Sheila?"
"Fool, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Sheila, I have never sat in my study like you and talked like we did. You are always special. By the way, can you tell me how much it is?"
Goethe opened his mouth and spoke.
He was intoxicated by the pleasant sound of the collision of gold and silver.
For this, what's wrong with saying a compliment or two?
Making money? Not bad.
Margarida stared at Goethe in amazement.
final--
"well."
"Mother is right, no man is good."
"Next time you lie to me, remember to keep the price secret in your heart."
The second daughter of the Tulip family sighed.
"This shows that you are really special to me. I don't want to deceive you, and I don't want to deceive you."
Goethe said sincerely.
"For the money's sake?"
"Yes, for the money's sake."
Goethe nodded very seriously.
Margarida suddenly felt a little depressed.
She took several deep breaths before she calmed down.
"You arranged 10 VIP seats around the ring. Isn't that too many?"
"There are only two families, Rose Family and Tulip Family. And among the Fabol nobles, only five families, Green Vine, Lily, Thorn, Violet, and Dark Lotus, are qualified."
Faber is different from Tessin.
In the previous Tesin, the royal family had absolute advantages.
Faber was the protracted open and secret struggle between the Rose Family and the Tulip Family.
In addition to these two major families, there are five other families, namely Green Ivy, Lily, Thorn, Violet and Dark Lotus, who are either watching covetously or acting as fence-sitters.
Of course, there are many more unknown small families waiting for opportunities.
In fact, apart from the Rose Family and the Tulip Family, the rest of Faber's family has undergone countless changes over the hundreds of years of history.
Goethe breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Margarida finally recover from her "acting" state.
He was genuinely worried that his partner would become irrational.
After all, this is about his money!
Not bad at all!
Goethe evaluated his partner in his heart, and then said in a very firm tone.
"How can there be so many?"
“I always control the quantity.”
"You don't want to?"
Almost instantly, Margarida, who had returned to normal, guessed something.
"Yeah, it's what you think."
"Now, get ready."
"Our second game is about to begin."
Goethe fastened his collar and stretched out his arms toward Margarida.
The second daughter of the Tulip family raised her hand and placed it on Goethe's arm, then stood up from the sofa.
The two qualified actors took the stage again after a short break.
At this time, the stage had moved from the gate of Bear Castle to the newly built arena - it was called an arena, but at Goethe's suggestion, it had been built to be similar to an open-air football field. Except for the lawn in the middle that had been turned into a stone arena, there were rows of seats surrounding it, and the layout was exactly the same as a football field.
The number of people can accommodate 25,000.
It’s not that we don’t want to build more.
But time can't keep up.
In response to this, Enmlai Ke beat his chest and stamped his feet.
You know, this represents money.
15,000 third-class seats, 8,000 second-class seats, and 1,990 first-class seats.
In terms of pricing, the third-class seat was priced at 10 copper cents as agreed upon previously, the second-class seat was directly increased sixfold to 60 copper cents, and the first-class seat was increased sixfold again to 240 copper cents.
Why do this?
Naturally, demand exceeds supply.
After conducting a detailed market survey, the second son of the Grand Duke decided to raise the price.
But even so, there is still a shortage of supply.
The local northerners are poor.
But people outside the North are rich!
Especially those Fapor nobles, they wanted to book first-class seats for their servants and followers.
Because of this, the tickets for these three types of seats alone brought the Northern Territory a total of 1,107,600 copper coins, which is 55,380 silver coins, or 4,615 gold grams.
4615 gold grams may not seem like much, but it’s just the ticket price!
Sales of surrounding shops, food, drinks and souvenirs are not included!
If all these are taken into account, Jin Ke’s income would be tens of thousands!
Not to mention, there are: VIP seats!
As for the highlight, spinach?
Enmlai.K wakes up with a smile every day when he looks at the number that gradually exceeds six digits.
Because, the second son of the Grand Duke knew that as long as there was a good start this time, the 'Bear Castle Arena' would become a stable source of income for the North, with so much every year.
Even more!
“It must be done well!”
"Make it a series!"
"Then……"
"Expand! Expand!"
"I want the Bear Castle Arena to accommodate 50,000... no, 100,000 people!"
"I want to create a series of population migration plans with the Bear Castle Arena as the core!"
There was a golden light in Enmlai Ke's eyes.
The fatigue from working all night with the Archduke's Guards disappeared, and he walked through the passage in high spirits towards the stage in the middle of the Bear Castle Arena.
That's right.
Enmlai K is the first host of the Xiongbao Arena.
No one is more suitable than the second son of the Grand Duke who is in charge of the northern economy.
The identity and status are suitable.
The eloquence ability is also suitable.
If it was Simlai Ke standing here, people would unconsciously feel oppressed.
And replace it with Gejiel K?
Looks too young.
Goethe is actually quite suitable.
But Goethe had another mission.
As for Nina?
How could a woman from the Ke family be so hardworking?
"Good morning, everyone."
Enmlai K's voice stirred up the blood and energy and spread throughout the venue. The people from the Northern Territory clapped their hands vigorously, and people from other places also joined in the clapping.
"This is an unprecedented feat—"
"Challenge 100 'same level' matches!"
"The challenger is my cousin Goethe Wein!"
"To be honest, I don't agree. After all, this fool has put his own territory, 'Svetla Territory', at stake... Alas, but what can I do?"
"He's my brother, I can't hit him, right?"
"So, I hope there is a truly strong person who can wake him up."
"Let him understand how ignorant his arrogance is."
Enmlai K's words once again brought rounds of applause, mixed with enough laughter.
Self-mockery always works wonders in situations like this.
The Grand Duke's second son did not interrupt the laughter and applause.
He stood there with a smile on his face.
After the laughter and applause died down, the second son of the Grand Duke continued speaking.
"In order to see my dear brother awakened, my father, the Warden of the North, Lord Scrooge, has come in person!"
The Grand Duke's second son said this, raising his hand and pointing to a room higher than the normal seats.
These rooms are supported by thick logs and stand high above the stands. The good view not only allows you to see everything in the middle of the ring, but also overlooks the entire Bear Castle Arena.
Moreover, the structure of the room protects it from wind, rain and sun, and also gives it extremely high privacy.
Even if you do something excessive, no one will see it.
Because, it is high.
The Fapor nobles were very satisfied with this.
They quite like this VIP seat which is different from ordinary people.
I also secretly decided in my heart that I should sit in it.
However, when they saw the Archduke appear at the window of the VIP seat in the middle, Dortmund Mag and Donald Dort both frowned.
There are only 10 VIP seats, and now the Duke has taken one, so there are only 9 left!
A limited number, even less.
It will definitely cost more.
and……
Is it just like this?
They sensed something was wrong.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Looking at the smiling and waving Grand Duke, the two men felt as if they saw an old bear with sharpened claws standing in front of them, ready to bleed them.
The remaining Fapor nobles also noticed something was wrong.
The five families, Green Ivy, Lily, Thorn, Violet and Dark Lotus, looked at each other inconspicuously and saw each other's worries.
As one of the five families under the Rose Family and the Tulip Family, even though their brilliance is overshadowed by the two major families, they still have to show their presence as much as possible.
This is Faber's tradition.
Therefore, they must occupy the VIP seats.
They were relieved when they heard there were 10 of them.
Now?
It could be bad.
The people of the North had no idea what the nobles of Fabol were thinking. When the simple people of the North saw the Grand Duke, they cheered.
They believed that their Grand Duke was the most qualified to sit there.
That's enough.
As for the rest?
They didn't think much about it at all.
Seeing the expected scene, Enmlai K smiled and continued:
"We in the North are the most hospitable people. When a beautiful girl travels thousands of miles to the North for true love, we should..."
"welcome!"
"Welcome Miss Margarita Magg!"
In a drawn-out tone, the Northerners present shouted again.
It was a bit messy at first, but then it became neat and tidy.
Margarida Mag appeared next to the box where the Grand Duke was, still with a shy and innocent smile on her face, still holding Goethe's arm.
This scene made all the people in the North happy.
Even the ladies and ladies among Fapor's nobles smiled and applauded.
"Have you arranged someone?"
"Well, we arranged some audience members, mainly because we were afraid that the audience would feel bored."
Margarida asked as the two sat down.
She could hear it clearly. The first few shouts of "welcome" were very timely. They came almost immediately after Enmlak's voice fell.
So much so that it motivated everyone.
“You are so mean!”
Looking at Goethe who had a frank expression, the second daughter of the Tulip family spoke softly.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Goethe smiled and nodded, looking down.
Below, on the seats around the ring for the Fabol nobles, Dirkmer was staring intently.
The malice in his eyes seemed real.
Goethe thought for a moment, then pulled Margarida up and gave her a staggered kiss in front of everyone.
“Ohhhhhhhh!”
There was even louder cheering.
Crunch!
Amid everyone's cheers, Dirkmo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Kill him!
Kill him!
The voices in my head kept rolling.
But then, the Grand Master of the Order of the Rose calmed down.
Not self-calmness.
He calmed down because he was stared at by Simlai.
The eldest son of the Grand Duke was sitting next to him, looking at him with indifference.
"Just wait!"
"There will always be a time when you are alone!"
Dirkmo said in his heart, and at the same time, an idea came to his mind.
Enmlai K glanced at Dirkmo.
Stupid X!
The second son of the Grand Duke commented, thinking silently in his heart how to 'safely' get rid of this guy, but on the surface he still smiled and shouted loudly: "In addition to Miss Marg, we have another guest in the North - Prince Most."
Moster?
The people from the North were stunned.
Moster!
Faber was shocked.
After several days of recuperation, relying on the powerful recovery ability of the 'Dragon Blood Warrior', Moster, an upright and somewhat naive young man, appeared on the other side of the official box.
Although he had never received any education as a prince, the young man was not afraid of such a grand occasion. He waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your welcome, cousin Enmlai. Seriously speaking, I am not a guest. I am also a northerner. After all, my uncle Scrooge is here."
This sentence was taught to him by Enmu.
The young people did not think there was anything wrong with it.
He was really grateful to the Ke family for taking him in when he was in danger.
Moreover, he also considers himself a member of the Ke family.
He calls the Grand Duke uncle!
Bang bang bang!
The young man's speech won the favor of the people from the Northern Territory present. Everyone warmly welcomed the young man, which made his smile even brighter.
Looking at this scene, Dortmund Mager and Donald Dort's expressions remained unchanged, but they became alert in their hearts at the same time.
They are on guard against what the North will do next.
at the same time……
There are also more calculations.
Both saw their opportunity.
However, they soon withdrew their thoughts.
Because there are also matters of face at hand.
The two of them and the remaining Fapol nobles all looked at Enmlak.
Now you can bid, right?
Do you have any reason to let anyone into the VIP seats?
There are still 7 VIP seats left, which are just enough to represent the nobles of Fabol.
The Faber people thought so.
Enmlai K looked at the Faber people in the audience and immediately smiled. Then, he raised his hand and pointed again -
"The North is desolate."
"The North is bitterly cold."
"In the north when the cold winds rage, even the ferocious bears have to go to sleep, but we survive here, marry and have children here, reproduce here, and make this place our 'home'!"
"This is not the credit of our Ke family alone, but everyone's!"
"So, we invited the respected elders in the North to come as special guests to watch this competition!"
"Everyone welcome them!"
Many faces appeared in the box.
Unlike before, there were a lot of people this time.
Each of them has an old face. They do not have a prominent status, nor do they have extraordinary power. They are very ordinary. Some of them are blacksmiths, some are brewers, some are hunters, and some are simply farmers. They are very ordinary.
But it is because of these ordinary people that the entire North is built.
This also made the North prosperous.
The applause this time was far greater than any other time.
Because most of the people from the North present are ordinary people.
The elderly people standing in the box, representing ordinary people, were so excited that their hands were shaking.
They couldn't say anything nice, let alone express their feelings at the moment.
They just feel...
Worth it!
But the Fapor nobles felt that it was over!
6 seats left!
One of the green vine, lily, thorn, violet and dark lotus will definitely be squeezed out!
Immediately, the five families looked at Enmlai, who was smiling, with anger in his eyes.
“You are so mean!”
Margarita patted the back of Goethe's hand.
"bad?"
"What bad intentions could I have?"
“I just hope those seniors can see the beauty of what they have created – that’s the respect and honor they deserve.”
Goethe said seriously.
This made Margarida a little overwhelmed.
Just as the second daughter of the Tulip family was wondering if she had said something wrong, Goethe grinned.
"As for bad?"
"What's next is really bad!"
Margarida was stunned.
Then, the second daughter of the Tulip family thought of something.
She covered her mouth, looked at Goethe, and exclaimed.
"You don't want to arrange for someone to raise the price, do you?"
"What's the price increase?"
“That’s too bad!”
“I’m competing fairly.”
Goethe took it for granted.
And below, Enmlai.ke also announced the start of VIP bidding for the remaining 6 seats. The base price was 100 gold grams, and each bid increase must not be less than 50 gold grams.
As soon as Enmlai Ke made the announcement, someone immediately made an offer.
"500 gold grams!"
The price increased fivefold in an instant, which is eye-catching.
The Northerners were surprised.
The Fabers were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.
Because the person who bid the price is——
Dirkmo!
