Chapter 393 392.Imperial brother personally brings the goods, why don’t you hurry to come and play?
In the Blood Wyvern Cloister at dawn, the Earl of White Mountain with a book of poetry in his hand sat in his luxurious chair, his signature mature parted blonde hair combed meticulously, which had become his most distinctive mark in the eyes of the players.

Some people called him “Parted Brother” on the forums, some called him “Melancholy Brother”, and some called him “The Second Handsome Man of Blood Vulture Cloister”, but many more people would call Earl Whitehill “Golden Hair”. But more people would call the Earl of White Mountain “Golden Hair”.

This kind of name is full of simple and rough beauty, and Maxim’s “white hair” and Dorothy’s “red hair” form a rather unique “color group NPC”.

But in fact, even the first batch of veteran players, the understanding of the Earl of White Mountain is not very deep.

On the one hand, although Andre had a “gentleman’s agreement” with Murphy and had been helping to stabilize the political situation in Transylvania, his introverted and conservative style made him reluctant to show his face, so the White Mountain faction that was rebuilt in Transylvania to deal with the players was handled by the loyal servant Vesta.

On the other hand, because of some political level factors and Andrei’s unique identity, let him from a young age has developed the habit of not liking to contact with too many people, to put it simply, this guy is a geek, or an irredeemable geek.

This habit of his did not only come from his personality, but also because he had an important creed in his own life, that is, he could not steal the limelight from his sister.

The Yankees also have a tradition of “favoring sons over daughters.”

Especially when it comes to matters of succession to the kingdom, a weak prince has an advantage over a brilliant princess.

But Andrei, who had grown up running around after his sister, had no intention of taking what she had or even giving it up voluntarily.

And after arriving in Transylvania, being away from the politics of Northwind Keep and the Duchy of Thorns allowed Andre to take it easy as well, such as now, when Live Whole and Little Richie requested a visit to the Earl of White Mountain through Murphy’s connections it was quickly granted.

Under the “escort” of two Thorn Nightwalker maids, they entered Earl Whitehill’s large room in the “Diplomatic Quarter” of the Blood Wyvern Cloisters, and were allowed to tell the melancholy young Earl what they wanted to do.

“So, what you are saying is that you would like me to take a stake as an ‘investor’ in the casino you are about to open at Farmhouse Three?”

Andre frowned almost the entire time he listened to the living whole quite good description.

He was not stupid.

He can completely understand what these two small players want to do, but this is exactly Andre’s “taboo”, he is not unable to play the influence of the royal family members, but to use their own influence to make money, this is undoubtedly to his sister’s reputation “black”.

The most important thing is, these two guys want to open the casino only for foreigners, this is not a disguised cut Nordic leek?
He is a member of the royal family of the Nordic people, the current queen’s only brother and relatives, they do not help their own country to make money on it, how can also help outsiders cut their own leeks it?

So Count Andrei put down the book of poems in his hand with a stern face, and he gently but firmly refused:
“No, I can’t agree to this kind of request, not only for personal reasons, as a member of the royal family I have the responsibility to maintain the decency of the country and the family at all times.

I believe that my ancestor, Lord Shani, would not allow me to do such a thing either.

Both of you, please return.”

Little Richie collapsed his face.

He knew that things wouldn’t go so smoothly, but live whole quite well having reigned in the business world for many years, he didn’t move and observed Count Andre.

Although the other party had refused, he knew that there was still a chance for this matter to turn around.

Just need to take a little risk himself
If it didn’t go well, he himself was expected to die here, although it would only be for three days.

“Please give me a little more time, Lord Earl.”

Old Huo coughed as he said seriously:
“I just explained our plea to you through the business model, but I haven’t yet analyzed for you the benefits that your joining this business would bring you from your perspective.

I know that you think it’s unseemly to participate as a member of the royal family in a business targeting your own people, but you need to realize a harsh reality.

Your faction has just been rebuilt.

Without the support of the family’s supplies, you and your servants will need to find ways to raise money on your own to develop your power.

I know that you are very powerful.

But I also believe that this is an area that you, who have been well clothed and well fed all your life, have never ventured into”

“I have Vesta to help me.”

The Earl of Whitehill did not deny old Haw’s description, and he said without a care in the world:
“My loyal servants are very good property managers and merchants.”

“But you may not know that Lord Vesta invested a large sum of money yesterday in the wharf that the Knights of the Riptide intend to prepare for construction in the vicinity of the Andromeda Hills.”

Old Hawk gave a subtle smile as he said:
“I know it’s a good investment, time stretched out to the stage of three or five years, it can bring you at least three times the return, however the problem is that the timing is not right!
The black plague is coming, we don’t see that we can survive until three years from now, and it is undoubtedly untimely to pursue long term benefits under such circumstances.

I’m not accusing Lord Vesta of having a problem with his business strategy, I’m just saying that he’s not very good at getting you enough money in the short term to support the rapid growth of the White Mountain faction.

But I can!

One month!

A month and a half at the most.

Your investment will see a return, you and your servants will no longer worry about supplies and funds, and your faction will grow rapidly and powerfully!

At that time, no matter what you want to do, your servants will have the strength and numbers to achieve your goals for you.”

These words did not change Earl Whitehill’s mind, and he still refused:
“What you say makes sense, but I don’t intend to change my decision, my faction has no financial problems at the moment, so…”

“You want to prove your worth!”

Old Huo rudely interrupted Earl Whitehill at this moment as he said straight to the heart of the matter:
“I’ve seen the scene where you fought Corando to the death in the sewers, I’ve heard about you sending your trophies back to Northwind Castle, and there’s no doubt that you’re like a child eager to prove to his loved ones that he’s grown up.

As rude as it is to say so, Your Excellency the Count, if you want your sister to see you grow up, then spending her money all the time doesn’t seem like a good way to prove that you’ve grown up.”

“Shut up!”

“Insolence!”

The two Thorn Nightwalker attendants burst into flames, and without seeing their movements at all Brother Fu was pressed against his neck by a sharp clawed blade, as was Old Huo’s side.

The two Yankee vampire sisters with stage play masks had faces as cold as frost, only needing an order from the Earl of White Mountain, these two insolent people would die here.

However, both Little Brother Fu and Old Huo had no fear on their faces.

On the one hand, because they are not afraid of death, Xiao Fu brother also reached out to touch the unique assassination claw blade with great interest, treating all this as a cool “flashback animation”.

On the other hand, Count Andre seemed to be really angered by Old Huo, but he quickly calmed down.

“Bang!”

The Count’s favorite book of poems was heavily placed on the table, and a hint of anger appeared on Andre’s handsome face, but he took a deep breath and waved his hand for the two maids to retreat.

He stared intently at the living whole quite well, and said in a cold voice:

“Continue, if you speak well, you and your partner can leave alive.”

“I don’t think we’re going to die today, in fact, I think the two of us can make a big deal today.”

Old Hawk was getting better and better.

He knew that he had made the right bet, and on his way here just now he had been looking for Brother Xiao Fu to ask for information about this young earl, and had even sent a private chat to Sister Pomegranate.

The latter was currently the first among the players to brush the Thorn Clan’s reputation to Respect because he had to learn the Thorn Nightwalker Assassination Technique.

She knew much more about the Earl of White Mountain than an ordinary player, and it was from Sister Pomegranate’s piggybacked gossipy descriptions that Live Whole Quite Well truly captured what Earl Andre wanted the most.

For a shrewd businessman, a handful of expensive gifts will never compare to a well-prepared heart, after all, gift-giving this kind of thing, learning is also very big.

In the face of the earl with bad eyes, live whole quite well reached out and pushed away the clawed edge of his neck and straightened the gown he had gotten at Lady Water’s tailor store again, he said in a low voice:
“There is no independence of character without financial independence, this is something a teenager understands in our world, but I regret to find that you don’t seem to.

You are content to enjoy the wealth that your sister has shared with you. Perhaps it is because your sister appreciates the sacrifices you have made for her, but that is no reason for you to ignore the source of all this wealth.

As long as you are still spending Her Majesty’s Wolf Girl’s money, you will always be a little brother in need of her care in her eyes.

Similarly, as long as you expect material and human support from the Thorn Clan, you will always be a toddler in the eyes of Archduke Shani.

You personally participated in the deadly fight between the Blood Vulture Clan and the Wolfsbane Clan in the sewers, but I feel that you still don’t understand the reason why Lord Murphy and Big Miss Phymes risked their deaths rather than allowing Archduke Tris to intervene in the war.

It wasn’t just for the sake of the Blood Vulture Clan’s face!

It was still to show the Grand Duke that they were no longer children who needed their elders to look after them, and that they could already rely on themselves to soar beneath this dangerous night sky.

And yet you?
Your Excellency the Count, I would like to ask you to seriously consider what would happen to you and your faction in Transylvania if the support from Her Majesty the Wolf Woman and Archduke Shani were to be cut off immediately now?
I learned from Brother Loyalty that your sister has assigned you 100 court sword guards as a reward for your growth. Alas, I would ask you.

What kind of relationship do you think can use the word ‘commendation’? What kind of relationship can have this kind of interaction pattern between elders and juniors?

You’ve been longing to grow and mature, yet you can’t get away with pursuing and enjoying the satisfaction of compliments from those two ladies.

You are really conflicted, like a young man who doesn’t understand what he wants and by what means he wants to achieve it.

No, please don’t misunderstand!
I don’t mean to despise you in any way, I think you have done very well in your position and status, at least I don’t think anyone else with your background could have done better.

However if you want to really talk to your sister and your elders as equals, you need to be a little more cruel to yourself.

After all.”

Old Huo stole a glance at Earl Whitehill’s expression as he lowered his voice:
“Whether you follow, are close to, or are a peer, you will first need to get them to recognize that you are equal to them in personality; would you give your respect to a willful child who knows nothing?”

The atmosphere in the parlor was quiet for a moment.

If it were not for the two grim-faced Nightwalker attendants staring down their necks, Little Richie would have risen at this instant to cheer loudly at this brilliant persuasion of his hairdresser.

Count Andrei was visibly shaken.

It wasn’t that he was a dissolute man, it was simply because the words of Live Whole Quite Well pierced his heart like a sharp knife.

Lies don’t hurt people, the truth is the fast knife!

What people say is not wrong at all.

He himself just never realized what the root of the problem was, and perhaps Vesta saw it, but as a loyal servant he obviously couldn’t say it so directly, it would be tantamount to divorcing the Earl from Her Majesty, the Wolf Woman.

If Andrei was content to be a good, well-behaved brother, then Old Huo’s words would have been useless, however, the Earl of White Mountain had his own quest, so Old Huo’s persuasion quickly had a 200% or even 300% effect.

Andrei didn’t close his eyes in thought for more than twenty seconds, he reopened his eyes to look at Old Huo and he said:
“So, the first step…”

“Financial independence!”

Live Whole Quite Well said softly:
“Only by not being bound by the world can you be free to grow into the person you want to be, and me and my casino . Well, I admit that this project is not high-end enough and does not fit your identity, but I guarantee that your first bucket of gold will definitely be in front of you very soon.

And as long as this casino keeps running, your faction will no longer have problems on a financial level.

After this foundation is firmly laid, you can start the next step, expanding your influence in your family and your country.

I am not urging you to rebel against your Majesty and your Grand Duke.

But please note that no one cares about the unthreatening little bugs under their feet, and all importance has to be taken from the point of view of power, and when you are prestigious enough even Her Majesty, the Wolf Woman, will have to put away the slights in her heart when she speaks to you, and only when you are important enough in her heart”

He nodded and did not continue.

But Count Andrei felt at this moment that his most arrogant ambition hidden deep in his heart had already been seen through by this eccentric artificer in front of him.

Worthy of being a cultist who plays with people’s hearts!
Andre snorted coldly in his heart, if placed in the past, a guy who dared to pry into his mind like this would definitely have to be killed, but now it was different.

After his experience in Transylvania, he felt that he should perhaps take a little “correct” advice.

In order to get close, sometimes you have to stay away.

“You guys go back first.”

The Earl of White Mountain picked up his book of poetry again, and he pretended to leaf through it as he did so:

“I will give you an answer by midnight tomorrow.”

“Yes, your highness, and may you have a good night.”

Without any delay, Old Huo pulled up Little Rich Brother who still wanted to continue to watch the fun and turned around to leave, touching you poorly to the door when he suddenly turned back and said:

“Your Excellency the Earl, you’re holding your book upside down!”

“Huh?”

Andre who was in deep thought immediately woke up and looked down, the book of poems in his hand was indeed upside down.

Damn!

He made a fool of himself!
“Your Highness?”

The two Thorn Nightwalker maids immediately stepped forward to offer their services, they were sure that they could kill these two guys before they escaped from the diplomatic zone, so as to prevent the leakage of your people’s “black history”.

But Andre just waved his hand, letting the loyal maids leave for the time being, he needed a little time to think about the suggestion made by Live and Let Live.

This time he did not intend to discuss this topic with his loyal servant Vesta, because he suddenly realized that Vesta, who had been accompanying him, seemed to have been sent by his sister.

Although he was absolutely assured of Vesta’s loyalty, Andre wanted to reverse his image in his sister’s mind starting with certain details.

And outside the diplomatic area, Old Huo and Little Richie who had run all the way out hid in a corner panting with a fearful look on their faces.

Seriously, the two of them just strained their faces to get through that episode.

Andre no matter how vegetable that is also can and Murphy over the guy, his order two small players absolutely to be chopped into meat bashful.

A few seconds later, the two looked at each other and laughed, and high-fived each other as they did when they were kids, celebrating the fact that the deal was done today.

“There’s something strange about that blonde.”

On the way back, Brother Fu rubbed his chin curiously:

“I feel like as soon as the issue of his sister comes up, his whole person becomes so strange all of a sudden.”

“Isn’t that nonsense?”

Live Whole Pretty Good snorted:

“That’s a sis-controller!

The incorrigible kind, who wants more than to hide in his sister’s shadow and serve her kingdom, Count Andrei wants more, he wants his sister all to himself .
What a crazy soul!

He won’t allow anyone else to get their hands on Her Majesty, the Wolf Girl, and he’ll pay everything he can for it, even borrowing from the devil.

With a brother like that, Her Majesty’s life won’t be smooth.”
