Chapter 265: Sow discord

When Duke Lu Dongxi heard Cook's question, he immediately replied with excitement: "As much as you want!"
Cook looked at Duke Lu Dongxi incredulously, knowing that the fine iron weapons made by the dwarves are produced every year at least hundreds of thousands, but only one-tenth of them can be sold, most of which are controlled by the dwarven kingdom. The number of weapons made by dwarves is so expensive.
Of course, this is also related to the forging level of the dwarves themselves, and the dwarves use higher temperature magma to make them. Humans just use charcoal, and even coal, that is, coal smelting is very rare, all use charcoal. Come to smelt.
Coal smelting is not as good as charcoal at all, but if coal is burned into coke, then it is another argument, but there is no human blacksmith who knows this, which makes the weapons made by dwarves expensive and very popular. welcome.
As for the fact that humans have no talent for forging, Cook sneered at this. On earth, the alloys smelted by humans may be unknown to dwarves. Which dwarf is there in the metal used in spaceships, aircraft carriers, and cannons? What can be made is simply impossible to make by hand.
"Lord Lu Dongxi, are you sure how much you want?" Cook asked again.
"What's wrong?" Duke Lu Dongxi immediately asked in confusion when he heard Cook's tone.
Cook explained to Duke Lu Dongxi; "The equipment made by the dwarves is divided into three levels, light equipment, daggers, one-handed swords, leather armor inlaid with iron armor, and helmets, etc., usually one thousand. A set of 500 gold coins. Medium-sized equipment, two-handed swords, one-handed swords, metal bucklers, chain armor clothes, boots, usually a set of three thousand five hundred to four thousand gold coins, and finally heavy equipment, fine iron tower shield , Axe gun, two-handed giant axe, metal shield, plate armor equipment, usually a set of 13,000 gold coins, because I trade with dwarves, there are 30,000 sets of light equipment and 20,000 sets of medium equipment in all warehouses. Five thousand sets of heavy equipment, then Duke Lu Dongxi needs everything?"
"Uh, no, no, no!" Duke Lu Dongxi stammered, not to mention anything else, just a set of 13,000 gold coins for heavy equipment, five thousand sets is how much money, and 20,000 sets of medium-sized equipment, one set Four thousand gold coins, how much is this? Duke Lu Dongxi felt that what he had just said seemed too arrogant.
"Hehe, in fact, heavy equipment can only be used by heavy armored infantry or heavy armored cavalry. The minimum equipment is nearly 1,500 kilograms. As far as I know, the Ceylon Empire does not seem to have heavy armored infantry or heavy armored cavalry. Exist, so I suggest that your Excellency choose light equipment. Even so, equipped with ten thousand and twenty thousand people, if you train well, you can sweep a large area." Cook said with a smile, eliminating Lu Dong’s breath. The embarrassment of the Duke.
"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, I have to think about this." Duke Lu Dongxi hesitated. Ten thousand sets cost 15 million gold coins. It is clear how many Duke Lu Dongxi he owns.
"Okay!" Cook replied. In fact, the light equipment that Cook said is to set up a smelting furnace in the Bunnyman tribe to test it, and there are many low-level beasts in the Orc Empire and the Natal Mountains. Orcs There is also a hobby of taming low-level beasts. Low-level beast skins are definitely worthless, but if they are inlaid with iron armor, then the defense is on a high level, but all this is what Cook thought in his mind. As for smelting It is estimated that there will be a while.
Duke Lu Dongxi looked at Cook, and then said: "In fact, if we knew it was Your Excellency Cook, we wouldn't stop him from saying anything, but would secretly support Your Excellency."
Cook was taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Why is this?"
"Because we have seen through the actions of the royal family, after the end of the Red Maple Leaf Prince, we will end up. If the nobles of the entire empire have the most admired family in their hearts, then there is only the Red Maple Leaf family. What we have done has made us chill..." Duke Lu Dongxi said with great pain.
"Okay, stop acting. You guys are not watching the excitement by the side, but the speed of your Ceylon imperial royal family is still very fast. Change one for hundreds of years. I am not interested in these. Anyway, you better not Come to mess with me." Cook scoffed at Duke Lu Dongxi's statement.
"This, this, in fact, the most important thing is that since the Munich War, the army drawn from our territory has been controlled by the royal family. Although they were just civilians before then, after coming out of the sea of ​​blood, It's an elite army. The royal family controls hundreds of thousands of troops like this. This is a threat to all our nobles. Prince Red Maple Leaf can't be tough because the royal family controls these troops." Lu Dong Duke Xi explained embarrassingly.
When Cook heard Duke Lu Dongxi’s words, he immediately understood: "This emperor of Ceylon is such a big calculation. A battle in the Principality of Munich not only broke down the turmoil of the empire itself due to the drought, but also weakened it. The population of the major nobles still left hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and they took the opportunity to master these soldiers, so as to achieve the goal of sitting on the elite soldiers to threaten the rest, and also robbed the entire Principality of Munich."
"That is, we didn't see this at the beginning, and in the end we didn't get any benefits at all, but made the royal family's power too great." Duke Lu Dongxi said angrily.
"If this is the case, this engagement ceremony might not be that simple." Cook said playfully. In fact, Cook was just sowing discord, but what Cook didn't know was that it was because of his words that caused it. Decades of civil strife in the Ceylon Empire.
When Duke Lu Dongxi heard Cook say this, he asked in disbelief: "Impossible, is that the whole nobleman?"
Cook rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you aristocrats have children in the imperial capital?" Cook asked nonsense. Regardless of the empire, the imperial capital is the most prosperous place, and it is also a place where the children of the major aristocrats exchange and learn. .
"Yes!" said Duke Lu Dongxi.
"So if you, the Lord Duke, are ‘ill’, and your son succeeds him as the Duke, is it normal?" Cook asked angrily.
"Normal!" Duke Lu Dongxi faintly felt a little bad.
"At this time, your son, who was threatened by the royal family, succeeded to the title of duke, but your son will never be able to return to his territory. If you say this, the royal family will control your son to indirectly take back your territory. Of course this It may be that after a few years, your son disappeared for no reason or fell ill and has no heir, or simply, find a royal child to give birth to your son, and then the title of the duke..." These things Cook Just pick it up and know that the earth is actually a history of war, and there are all kinds of tricks.
Duke Lu Dongxi was silent. When Cook saw Duke Lu Dongxi like this, he immediately added a fire: "I don’t want to do anything to you, but put you under house arrest and let you do whatever you want. Don’t you dare Heed the order? And this engagement ceremony, does the royal family say that it is best for your family to come?"
"Is it true, isn't the royal family forcing us to oppose it?" Duke Lu Dongxi trembled, because Cook said that the royal family said that the whole family would go. This happened to be a sentence said by His Majesty the Emperor of Ceylon. It's just a joke.
"Cut, you look at the current emperor. He did not hesitate to lose more than two hundred vigorous civilians. What did he get in exchange? The entire Principality of Munich was looted. You must know that the Principality of Munich is one of the richest principalities of the Roland Empire. Needless to say, you also know that the emperor used hundreds of thousands of troops to transport supplies back and forth overnight for half a month. Think about how much it should be? Why can the royal family control hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers? This is the robbery. The wealth that comes, if you put you under house arrest again and rob you once, your emperor of the Ceylon Empire will make a lot of money this time.
Cook said this is indeed a slander of the Ceylon Emperor.
If Cooke came up to say this, Duke Lu Dongxi was still a little skeptical, but Duke Lu Dongxi was already suspicious of the emperor, so in Duke Lu Dongxi’s view, the most benefited from the Munich War was the emperor, and he himself People were simply used by the emperor. Lu Dongxi murmured: "It's very possible?"
"In fact, there are some things I shouldn't say. Do you think the Silver Lily family really has to buy so many weapons? You are in conflict with the Silver Lily family, in case the Silver Lily family is just launched by the royal family to deliberately attract you.... "Cook didn't say half of what he said. Sometimes it's best to leave some room for reverie. The person involved will automatically connect some irrelevant clues, and then....
"Damn it, I said where the confidence of the Silver Lily family came from, so I dared to challenge Lao Tzu. It turned out to be like this, stop, stop!" Duke Lu Dongxi's face changed a few times, and he roared loudly.
The carriage stopped immediately, and then Duke Lu Dongxi rushed out all of a sudden, and Norwen got out of the car and looked at Cook in a puzzled manner. Cook spread his hands. Within a few minutes, Duke Lu Dongxi got on the carriage and gritted his teeth. Said: "I have ordered my family to go back. If nothing happens this time, I won't make the royal family feel better if it happens!"
"Hehe!" Cook only smiled and muttered in his heart: "Then let you do something!"
Cook knew that Duke Lu Dongxi could not conceal this information. Cook was right. After Duke Lu Dongxi’s eldest son received his father’s order, he immediately sent a confidant messenger to his father’s orders. The nobleman notified again.
Cook didn’t expect it at all. Just the next morning, some nobles in the northern part of the Imperial Capital received the message from the monsters and made some decisions. One of the nobles received the message when the imperial city gate was critical, and even pretended to be ill. He was taken back to his territory by his subordinates. If he knew that he was really sick, wouldn't it be better to treat him in the Imperial Capital?
"Duke Lu Dongxi~EbookFREE.me~ I have a deal to do with your Excellency?" Cook asked with a smile as he was about to reach the imperial capital.
"Your Excellency Cook, please tell me?" Duke Lu Dongxi said with a smile. Now Duke Lu Dongxi is very thankful that Cook has awakened himself and does not hate Cook anymore.
"I need some information about the residence of the Seventh Prince, the relationship between people, and all the relations of the Prince of Red Maple Leaf. Of course, as a friend, I still have to come up with something as a gift." Cook took out a pet space bag. Inside is a five-level monster.
"This is?" Duke Lu Dongxi picked up the small bag in confusion, his eyes widened the next moment.
Cook felt that a pet space bag and a fifth-level beast could get the support of a duke, as well as a source of intelligence. It was very cost-effective. Duke Lu Dongxi was shocked. Duke Lu Dongxi is a level four fighter himself, of course, he is very clear. Because of the value of these two things, Duke Lu Dongxi agreed to the conditions proposed by Cook without even thinking about it. Cook even lived in Duke Lu Dongxi's manor in the imperial capital.
"Seven princes!! I am looking forward to meeting you!" Cook looked at the brightly lit streets in Ceylon City, playing with a pile of documents very playfully. This is the information that Cook needs from Duke Lu Dongxi. .
