There was a saying that was very true: one step ahead was a great man, and two steps ahead was a madman.
In the eyes of others, Tang En was undoubtedly a complete madman at this moment.
Although Aurelia did not know who Tang En was, his current ideas were undoubtedly epoch-making.
He wanted to pull the magicians down from their pedestals and popularize the mystery of magic to the public so that everyone could enjoy the convenience of magic … This was even more difficult than challenging the class struggle, because his enemies were the magicians who had mastered powerful magic and inheritance!
If Tang En could really do it, then there was no doubt that the whole Prandal would undergo earth-shaking changes, and the royal family of Irus who supported him would naturally gain the greatest benefits …
Could it be that Imperial Father had decided to support him because he knew about this?
In the palace of Irus.
"Did he really say that?"
Victor looked up from a small mountain of documents, and his expression was very shocked.
Aurelia was also shocked. "You didn't know?"
"Of course not — no! I know! "
Victor suddenly changed his words, and his eyes flashed. "Maybe this is an opportunity for Irus!"
Since the second war of Chaos, the magicians had been led by the legendary hero Jean Star-Moon Master to a neutral position. As a country with a high production of magicians, Irus had begun to weaken.
However, no one dared to question Jean Star-Moon Master's decision, because he was one of the legendary heroes who had saved mankind in that war.
Even if Victor was the current king of Irus, he could not fight against the Secret Magic Association of the Star-Moon Tower, so he could only try his best to win over the magicians. He did not want them to join his camp, as long as they had some inclination.
Now, Tang En, who the gods were so concerned about, said that he was a rogue magician who wanted to popularize the power of magic. Was this the true intention of the gods?
No matter what the truth of the matter was, Victor had already made a decision. While giving Tang En the greatest freedom, he had to find a way to tie them together. No, he couldn't do that …
Victor hesitated again. After all, the other party was under the gaze of a god. If he used him openly, would he be punished by the god?
She couldn't get too close to him as that would bring him danger, but she couldn't be too distant either …
If it was just to let him feel their goodwill …
Victor fell into deep thought. Aurelia, who was standing beside him, felt inexplicably nervous.
…
It had been three days since the banquet of the Forier family had ended. These days, the local tyrants of Alinx suddenly found that many people were asking about something called "air conditioner." Some people were also inquiring about the Datang Chamber of Commerce. The sensitive information dealers immediately used their connections and dug up the background of the Datang Chamber of Commerce in a short period of time.
Therefore, in just three days, the Datang Chamber of Commerce, which was originally only famous in Ellington and the mountain city of Bein, suddenly became famous in Alinx.
Many of the nobles had a document on their table, which clearly listed the information they could find. In Aubrey's study, Tang En also had such a document in front of him.
The Datang Chamber of Commerce was established in Ellington.
The president was the lord of Ellington, Tang En.
Tang En had killed two nobles within a month of his appointment, and they were both lords.
Tang En was a rogue mage who had mastered alchemy. He used his magic power and intelligence to develop many useful things.
Air conditioners, soap, cheap paper, mint extract, mint candy, and so on all came from Ellington.
Ellington was currently rebuilding and taking in a large number of outsiders.
Tang En had a close relationship with the dwarves and gnomes. Traces of dwarves and gnomes were found in his territory, and they were suspected to be working together.
The Datang Chamber of Commerce's shop in the mountain city of Bein provided a large amount of New Moon Wine. Although Ellington did not find any traces of elves, they suspected that Tang En had a very close relationship with the elves.
Twain was the only feudal lord that King Victor had made an exception for many years after he ascended the throne.
Before becoming a lord, Tang En was just a nameless civilian (actually, an unknown rogue mage). His background could not be traced.
In order to appoint Tang En, King Victor even fell out with the Royal Parliament, and there was a time when a civil war almost broke out.
Tang En might be King Victor's illegitimate son.
At the banquet, Tang En and Princess Aurelia were very close. It was suspected that the royal family had already appointed the two of them to marry.
It was rumored that Tang En had found a treasure and presented it to King Victor. However, according to the investigation, the royal family did not have any large-scale activities recently, nor did they have a large income, so it was suspected that the news was false.
Tang En had a grudge against the Kadir family.
Tang En openly challenged the authority of the Royal Parliament.
Given the close relationship between Tang En and Aubrey Foyle, it could be concluded that he was a member of the royal family.
Given that Elsa was a citizen of Ellington, it was suspected that Aubrey's son, Abedon, the former head of the Sword of the Kingdom Knights, was now living in Ellington …
Other than Tang En's true background, almost everything he had done after coming to Prandal was dug up. Tang En looked at the news in front of him. He was smiling, but he was cursing in his heart.
Although he knew that the news would change in the process of transmission, he did not expect it to be so ridiculous.
A civil war almost broke out because of him?
I'm Victor's illegitimate son?
If I'm Victor's illegitimate son, then Aurelia is my sister. Will the royal family appoint me to marry my sister?
Are they trying to get me to book a bed at the German orthopedics department?
If this wasn't a joke, then what was?
Some of the news was released by him, and some were speculations added by many people during the process of transmission.
But … it was because of the mixture of truth and falsehood that it was easier to spread. After all, it was human nature to gossip.
Seeing the smile on Tang En's face, Aubrey could not help but ask, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"No, it's basically correct. Of course, I'm not Victor's illegitimate son. You should be able to tell that … You called me here just to show me this?"
"Of course I know you're not Victor's illegitimate son," Aubrey said flatly.
Aubry said calmly, "However, this information has already been placed in front of everyone in Arynx. Basically, all the information you can dig up has been dug up, except for what happened before you met King Viktor and received the title of Lord of Ellington."
Tang En shrugged. Even he did not know what happened at that time. It would be strange if they could dig it up.
According to what they said, his soul should have transmigrated, which meant that before he transmigrated, the original owner of this body also had traces of his existence. Then there were traces to follow, and it was normal for them to be able to dig out some secrets.
But now there was a most important question.
That was, this body looked exactly like him. This was very likely to mean that he had transmigrated physically.
So things were strange. Before he transmigrated, he was playing games on Earth. There was no such person in this world at all. How could he have met Victor?
"So?"
"So, the task Victor gave you is to build a chamber of commerce that can compete with the Aristocratic Parliament and even the Trade Union? Make enough money for the activities of the royal family? "
Aubrey looked at Tang En with a puzzled face. "Judging from your behavior of winning over the Rosa d 'Oro, my guess should be right. But why do I feel that something is wrong?"
Of course, there was something wrong with something that didn't exist …
Not only did he inexplicably become a member of the royal family, but now he wanted to pull him into the factional struggle and provide them with money …
Tang En was too lazy to complain. Factional struggles in a country were not Diao's business. What he wanted to do was to save the world.
As for the aristocratic party, let his army … Ah no, let the tide of the times crush them!
Mere feudal aristocrats could not stop the footsteps of the times at all!
After casually brushing Aubrey off, Tang En hurried to find Hilton again.
Tang En asked, "How is it going?"
"Very good."
Hilton's face was full of strange expression. "My Lord, are you really the illegitimate son of His Majesty Victor?"
"Are you kidding? Do I look like it? That's not what I said. "
"Okay … But why are we deliberately spreading this news?"
Twain spread out his hands and said, "After the banquet, they will definitely try to dig up information about me. Since that's the case, we might as well take the initiative to reveal it. This way, we can direct their attention and let them see the information we want them to see."
"But a lot of these are secrets, right?"
"The reason why secrets are important is that they can give us the upper hand. Now that we have the upper hand, the previous secrets are no longer secrets."
Tang En said with a smile. "And by taking this opportunity, we can let more people know about Ellington and our Datang Chamber of Commerce. This will be of great benefit to our accelerated development in the future …"
"… I see."
Although the results had proved that what Tang En said was indeed very useful, Hilton still could not break free from the inertia of thinking that had been cultivated for a long time.
In her opinion, secrets should always be buried in the heart … But the lord took the initiative to release the secret information and used the attraction of these secrets to increase the speed and breadth of the dissemination …
Coupled with the simultaneous bombardment of leaflets on the streets, in a short time, almost all of Alinx knew that the shops of the Datang Chamber of Commerce were about to open.
In a world that had not experienced such bombardment of publicity, the effect of the leaflets was almost exploding, right?
The covering around the shops in the market area had not been removed yet, but in the past few days, it had been crowded with people. They were looking forward to seeing what kind of magical place the Datang Chamber of Commerce was.
Most importantly, many people wanted to see what the rumored illegitimate son of His Majesty Victor looked like.
Finally, the day of the store's opening finally arrived. Many people had already learned from the flyers that there would be an "opening ceremony" at noon that day, so some people who had nothing to do went over early.
As for the nobles? They would not condescend to go to the shops. If they wanted something, they would just send their servants to buy it.
Opening ceremony? What the hell is that? Can it be eaten?
