Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 298: Sorry, this is not my territory

When the young Frank rushed back to the post from the city hall, his father, Duke House, was having a private meeting with a senior official in the black dragon collar.

After all, the people that Ymir brought to participate in the construction of the new territory were once the people of the Royal Capital of Omar, and almost all officials knew Duke House.

"Sorry, Lord Duke, what you asked just now involves the confidential project of the territory. Forgive me for my duty, I cannot disclose it."

"It's okay, just chat with old friends, don't be so cautious. By the way, Minister Simpson, haven't you thought about returning to Omar? I remember your family is still in the royal capital. Now you have all your talents. People’s approval, I can promise that if you are willing to go back, at least the'senator' will make you a viscount..."

"Lord Duke, thank you for your kindness. But when I left the royal capital with Her Royal Highness, I was ready to entrust this life to the new territory. Now the development of Black Dragon City is exactly when people are needed, and I have not Planning to leave. I think the family will understand me."

"Oh, that's a shame."

"..."

Before coming to the Black Dragon City, Grand Duke House had obtained detailed information from the territory officials, and selected a few familiar old faces from it.

This was also a temptation. He wanted to see what the attitude of the "old officials" who came to the Black Dragon City was towards their Omar Empire.

Before the change, such a small official didn't even have the qualifications to sit at a table and talk with him.

But this is after all the members of the Yumir faction who were expelled from the imperial capital by the veteran aristocratic clans. It would be great to have a few people to meet him.

After all, this time they came here not simply to establish diplomatic relations, but to find a way to take control of the city from Ymir.

The attitude of these officials is especially important.

Unexpectedly, things are not going well.

The "Minister of the Urban Construction Department of Black Dragon City" Simpson was once just an unscrupulous little official, the kind of "quasi-baron" who grabbed a large piece of the Omar imperial capital.

The "quasi-baron" is not a formal nobleman, but a false title given to some capable subordinates by the high-ranking nobles. Like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey pushing the mill, it can never be eaten.

In the Omar Empire, the status of such officials is very low, even inferior to ordinary knights.

Before the change, the temptation of a Viscount title was enough to make these little officials who sharpened their heads and wanted to penetrate the noble circle to swear allegiance to the death.

Unexpectedly, facing the promise of the title, now in the eyes of Simpson, Duke House actually saw a trace of disdain?

He was even more curious, what "benefits" a newly-built territory gave these people, the effectiveness of these people's heart and soul, and such a strong sense of belonging?

House Spencer was not stupid enough to be proud of his Lord Duke at this time.

He asked again: "Um... Minister Simpson, can I ask one more question. I want to ask what kind of person is your City Lord Rennes? What is his temperament?"

Talking about this topic, Simpson did not conceal his respect for Renn, saying: "Our Lord of the City is a very talented and rough lord. The system and strategic development direction in this city are almost all from Lord Renn. Hand, even if it’s your Royal Highness the princess, you’re full of praise. With the lord of the city, I believe that the future of the black dragon collar will definitely get better and better... I won’t stay with my post. Say goodbye."

"..."

After seeing the visitor away, Duke House's face became very solemn.

This is completely different from the news in his intelligence.

Isn't it said that this "Ryan" is just a city lord without real power?

Why do the few people I met hold such a big respect for this city owner who has almost never participated in government affairs?

And House hadn't even thought about it yet, at this moment, his son Frank returned.

.......

"My father, the method you said may not work anymore. That guy named Ryan may really be Ymir's man!"

Frank's face was ugly, and he told what had happened in the city hall before.

He went to visit, which is also the strategy of the Spencer family.

They thought, since Black Dragon City is Ymir's territory, the best way to seize power is through marriage!

As long as you marry Ymir, you don't need to play any tricks, no matter what the flying dragon army, or the city management...everything is done.

Therefore, as the most beautiful man in the Spencer family, Frank, who had some friendship with Ymir before, came.

I didn't want to, but I ate it.

"impossible..."

After listening, Duke House looked a little puzzled, and said to himself: "According to what I know about Ymir's character, she is a dreamer who insists on the'New Deal' and doesn't care about the love of her children. Otherwise, there will be so many imperial capitals. Young Junyan, she wants to be tempted, and she's already..."

Suddenly, he thought of the previous dialogue with several Black Dragon City officials, and his eyes flew.

"Huh! Maybe it's just a pretending bitch!"

Frank was still angry, and his words became vicious.

If "rivals in love" other high-ranking nobles are fine, they are still unknown people. In his opinion, this was totally unacceptable, and even felt inexplicably humiliated.

He turned his head and glanced at his father, and asked, "My father, what should we do now?"

"I think it might not be that bad. What you see is probably what she did for us to see..."

Grand Duke House squinted his eyes slightly and said his thoughts.

He speculated: "It's also impossible for Ymir to not know the significance of our visit. Now the two empires are blocking the Black Dragon City, and with the support of our Spencer family, the development of the Black Dragon City will be immediately followed by the lifting of the ban on the Omar border. It can take off. Maybe it will develop into the Third Reich in the next few years... A person as savvy as Yumir will certainly not let this opportunity pass."

The marriage of the top aristocratic class, marriage has always represented the exchange of interests.

For people of his level, the relationship between men and women is not worth mentioning in the face of interests.

Thinking of this, Grand Duke House showed a gleam in his eyes, and said: "What's more, even if it is true? I think, with regard to the future of the territory, Ymir will make the right choice..."

Hearing this, Frank felt a little grudge in his heart, but he also understood the meaning of his father's words.

He thought for a while, and then asked, "But...why did she do this? Show it to me?"

In the top aristocracy, chaos in private life is not uncommon. Before marriage, among those ladies and ladies, who didn't have three or five ambiguous lovers? Young masters, who is not a veteran of Huachang?

What their marriage wants is the transfer of benefits, not the true love of loyalty.

Duke House's gaze showed a hint of brilliance: "Probably... it's just to add a bargaining chip for tomorrow's negotiation."

.......

The next day, Ren, as the lord of the city, received the visiting mission of Omar.

In the magnificent conference hall, twenty or thirty officials from both sides of Black Dragon City and Omar sat opposite each other.

Ryan sat on the main seat, looking a little bored.

During the mission visit, there were a lot of courtesy procedures to go through, and it took a long time for various beeps, and then normal conversations began.

After all, the Grand Duke of House is still Ymir's distant uncle. This time Omar sent him, naturally playing the acquaintance card.

Ren also knew that Ymir called him, probably because of this relationship.

At first, meetings were normal.

However, the atmosphere became less harmonious after one sentence.

Because at this time, the Omar official said this sentence.

"This time, on behalf of the Sovereign State, we congratulate His Majesty Umir on the establishment of the city territory...Of course, as usual, we have also brought the appointment letter of His Majesty, appointing Kofi Spencer as the special governor of the black dragon collar. Investigator]."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials in charge of the negotiations on the Black Dragon City side changed slightly, slightly gloomy.

The atmosphere in the council hall was very harmonious just now, because these words fell to the freezing point in an instant.

No one spoke, and the needle dropped for a while.

Sovereign country means that if Black Dragon City is admitted, it is a vassal country of the Omar Empire.

Not to mention other things, at least there is no independent sovereignty.

For example, in addition to the lord, the Omar royal family will also arrange an "inspector" to participate in the management of a part of the territory and directly represent the imperial power.

If this city is Ymir's private domain, there is nothing wrong with it.

To establish diplomatic relations, the other party must first admit that you are a "kingdom".

Ymir is the eldest princess after all, and her territory is the "kingdom regulation." As long as Omar recognizes that the territory is legal, the city can establish diplomatic relations.

This is the premise.

But... Black Dragon City is not a private domain.

.......

This would make the atmosphere of the meeting freeze, which had long been expected by the Duke of House.

He is also testing Ymir's bottom line to see if she still reads the old love of Omar.

This trick is amazing.

After all, Ymir is the Royal Omar family, even if the Black Dragon City is now in full swing, no matter how she can deny her blood!

If it is admitted that the black dragon collar has become Omar's vassal kingdom, then this special "special inspector" will have a greater role.

At that time, even if the marriage fails, this trick will be enough to make them slowly cannibalize the rights of Black Dragon City.

At first glance, the other party has nothing to say, it seems to be the default?

At this time, Grand Duke House had a certain degree of certainty in his heart, smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness, this time... I come to congratulate your Majesty by order. Your Majesty knows that you are in the Alcoron Mountains. A new territory has been established here, and I am very pleased. I specifically asked me to bring some capable officials and craftsmen to participate in the construction of the territory together..."

Originally, his plan was very good. As long as his group of officials and craftsmen participated, things would be half done.

"Do not..."

But before he finished speaking, Ymir interrupted him.

She calmly said, "Uncle House, I think you might have misunderstood."

House was taken aback: "???"

Ymir's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "You are wrong. This black dragon collar... is not my territory."

When House heard what he swallowed in his throat, he was suddenly embarrassed.

Not only that, but Omar was also surprised.

Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?

You are obviously the highest in the territory... Prime Minister.

These officials are all brought by Omar before. You say it is not your territory?

With his head in his hand, Renn looked at the expressions of Omar and his group, and said to his heart: These guys are really unkind.

Ymir glanced at Omar and his party, and then explained: "You may not understand the policies of our black dragon collar. This is not a private domain, we are a'parliamentary system'. In short, I am the prime minister. It's just an official elected by everyone. In the future, our Black Dragon Leader may be a federal kingdom, but it will never be someone's private domain."

Having said this, she looked at Renn next to him and gestured: "Moreover, the current City Lord is not me, but Lord Renn. If you come to establish diplomatic relations with sincerity, I think you'd better ask Lord Lord's opinion. not me."

.......

"This..."

As soon as these words came out, the Spencer family father and son seemed to have a dead mouse stuck in their throats, and they suddenly didn't know how to speak.

All assumptions and plans are based on the premise that Ymir is the lord.

But now, she actually said that she was not, but just an official?

Then, doesn't it mean that Omar's "suzerain state" argument is not valid anymore?

In a word, the memories were deadlocked in an instant.

Duke House was stunned for a moment, and sensibly told him that this was Ymir's strategy.

The words are said to be worthwhile, and it doesn't make sense to try again.

"Ymir...According to your seniority, you should call me uncle. As an elder, there is something that sounds bad, but I have to talk about it."

He frowned and said earnestly: "You said that just now, don't you know that your Majesty will be chilled? It will put the Spuglin family to shame? At the beginning, your Majesty poured a lot of resources into knighthood and let you build the city. Now you build The city is handed over to outsiders, and there is no plan to recognize Omar as the suzerain country. If this makes the relatives and friends of the imperial capital listen to it, won't they be chilled?"

"No, no, you misunderstood again."

Ymir shook his head, interrupted him again, and said, "Whether it is to me or to everyone in Black Dragon City, City Lord Raine is not an outsider."

After a pause, she said again: "What's more, this city was not originally built by me. From beginning to end, it is the credit of City Lord Rennes."

Grand Duke House heard his eyelids twitch.

Whether it is true or not, these words have brought the parliament to a dead end.

Omar and his party didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Ymir spoke, but asked Rehn: "Sir, this is the alliance contract submitted by the Omar Empire. What do you think?"

Ren wasn't interested in fighting with a group of conspirators.

Their Black Dragon City does not need any allies now, of course, they didn't have any.

Guanghui is the enemy, Omar and Sid have closed their borders, wishing to stay away from each other.

Now that there are so many visitors here, they have no good intentions.

He directly said: "We in Black Dragon City welcome any friendly neighbors. However, since it is an equality agreement, then I think your country should open its borders, allow the residents of both sides to exchange and exchange, and allow free trade..."

.......

The meeting ended in a very unpleasant atmosphere.

Naturally, the covenant was not signed.

Unless Black Dragon City becomes a vassal territory of Omar Omar, how can they dare to open the border?

The plans of the veteran nobles of Omar also fell through.

Originally, their plan was to restore the aristocratic system to the second glorious city in the Black Dragon City, but they never thought that the plan would die.

Marriage fails, and the plan to dispatch "supervisors" is not unsuccessful.

The Black Dragon City is far beyond the system of this era, so that the veteran nobleman with deep-rooted thoughts like House cannot understand at all, what is going on in a territory without a private lord.

Not a lord, why did you work so hard to build such a large territory?

Moreover, the law also stipulates that not only Yumir, but also this Ren, do not have the right to hereditary inheritance?

.......

This is one of the reasons why Rennes does not want to participate in government affairs.

Even if you know that the other party has no good intentions, you have to talk to these guys forcibly.

Change from his own personal standpoint and he can solve problems with his hands, don't rely on his mouth.

After sitting in the conference room for a long time, Renne felt a little bit depressed for delaying his practice for a long time.

Just about to walk out of the meeting room, Ymir stopped him.

She looked at Renne and asked, "Walk with me?"

"Okay."

On the roof of the city hall, Ren and Ymir leaned on the railing, watching the bustling crowd on the street.

The development of the city has been on the right track, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Black Dragon City will also get better and better.

The two didn't say a word for a long time, and Ren also noticed that Ymir was in a bad mood.

The breeze was blowing, and the hem of the two men swayed with the wind.

I heard the breeze of "whooping" in my ears.

Ren turned his head and glanced, and the breeze blew Ymir's beautiful blonde hair, revealing her melancholy profile.

After a long time, she finally spoke.

"My emperor brother is critically ill, and probably cannot survive this time. They brought news that the emperor wanted to see me before he died."

"Oh, then go."

"I want you to go with me."

"Great."
