Chapter 235 Opening the Curtain of a New Era

While sipping tea quietly, Aubrey couldn't help but look at Tang En.

After drinking the tea that Tang En brought out, the black tea imported from Solant Kingdom was completely tasteless...

Noticing Aubrey's gaze, Tang En was speechless, but he still took out a leaf from the World Tree.

"Your Majesty Victor, this is the first time we meet, so let's take this piece of tea as a greeting gift."

Tang En poured out the Solant Kingdom black tea worth thousands of gold in the teapot, then put the tea leaves in, poured some water in and started making tea.

Victor's eyes twitched. As a hard-working king, most of the money he earned went to the army. He was usually reluctant to drink the black tea imported from Solant Kingdom, but Tang En actually threw it away... …

He feels distressed...

Having said that, a king who lived as hard as he did was really rare in the world.

When Victor smelled the refreshing fragrance of tea, the entanglement in his heart immediately disappeared. Just the leakage of tea fragrance made him extremely intoxicated, and every inch of flesh and blood in his body was trembling with excitement. With.

"Father, I—you!?"

Alleria pushed the door open and saw Tang En standing there. She immediately raised her eyebrows and wanted to get angry at him, but the next moment she controlled her emotions and showed a sweet smile: "This Isn't he Baron Tang En? It's really rare."

"Good afternoon, Princess Alleria, you are as beautiful as ever."

Tang En put down the teapot, scratched his head, and looked at Alleria with an indescribable feeling.

At that moment, he seemed to feel a very strong... resentment?

"Thank you, Baron Down, for your compliment."

Huh? Why does Princess Alleria feel like she's smiling but not smiling? Is she angry?

"Olly."

Victor took a deep breath of the aroma and said, "Go get some good refreshments."

"Okay, Father."

Alleria retreated very obediently.

"Baron Tang En, just now I was wondering why you said this piece of tea was a greeting gift, but now I understand."

Victor stared at the teapot: "Can you tell me what this tea leaf is?"

"Leaves, to be precise."

Tang En said with a smile: "It's the leaves of the World Tree."

"It turns out to be the leaves of the World Tree!"

Victor was shocked, and Aubrey and Adrian stood up suddenly, stunned.

"How did you get it!? Wait! You had so much New Moon Wine before. Could it be that you really had a deal with the elves!?"

"That's pretty much it."

Tang En said somewhat proudly: "My wife is from the Elf tribe."

【brazen! 】

Nora, who was sitting above Tang En watching the show, heard this and pulled Tang En's hair hard: [I want to tell Egwin! 】

[Be good, don’t cause trouble. 】

Tang En silently comforted Nora, but he didn't notice how much his words shocked Victor and the others.

"You, you have a wife!?"

Aubrey was furious: "Then you actually dare to provoke Elsa!? You bastard!"

Adrian smoothed things over and said, "As a man, it's normal to be romantic..."

"You bastard! Are you showing off your old lover Vanessa?!"

"Why don't I... I mean, this is really exciting news!"

Victor changed his mind: "With Baron Down as a bond, our Illrus Empire may have a good relationship with the elves in the future."

"I try my best."

After a while, Alleria came back with tea.

"Green tea crisp, salty cheese, apple pie...please! Slow down! Use it!"

Alleria placed the tea in front of Tang En and the others.

Although Alleria was smiling all over her face, Tang En always felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if he always had a strange, resentful feeling...

Is it an illusion?

Alleria put down her things and planned to leave.

Tang En said: "Princess Alleria, please stay and drink tea. This is tea made from the leaves of the World Tree. If you drink it, ladies can make your skin whiter, more elastic, and younger."

"Oh? Since it is such a precious thing, I can't miss it."

Alleria sat elegantly across from Tang En, her eyes staring at Tang En, which made Tang En feel uncomfortable all over.

Soon he distributed the tea, and several people began to taste tea.

As soon as the tea soup was in her mouth, Alleria was instantly conquered.

What does this feel like?

Like clouds and mist, the heat rolls and dances on the tongue, and the fresh fragrance explodes in the mouth, breaks through the nasal cavity, and goes straight into the mind.

When the tea was swallowed, the surging life force mixed in the tea soup turned into heat and spread out. Alleria could feel every inch of her skin trembling, and an electric current rushed from her tailbone to her mind. It quickly spread throughout the body, and the rich life force even expanded the magic pool in her body.

There was silence in the study room for a while. Victor, Alleria, and Adrian were all immersed in the wonderful taste. Only Aubrey, who had tasted the taste before, was sober and took advantage of the many opportunities they had to be intoxicated. Pour yourself a few glasses.

This is a rare good thing. Drinking a few more cups can definitely prolong your life. Of course, he will not be stupid enough to just sit and wait for Tang En to pour him tea - he has to take the initiative when good things happen.

Shame?

Sorry, what is shame? Can it be eaten?

So, when Victor and the others came to their senses and wanted to drink another drink, they found that Aubrey was already holding his stomach and burping.

In desperation, Tang En continued to make tea.

After three rounds of tea, Tang En raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "I don't know... do you want to get rich?"

Everyone was stunned.

Aubrey didn't expect Tang En to go straight to the point.

Victor was also stunned: "Get rich?"

"How to get rich?"

As a habitual criminal, Alleria was particularly sensitive to the word "get rich." Her eyes immediately gleamed. She noticed Tang En's surprised look and said hurriedly: "I mean, I'm curious too."

"Yes, your Majesty Victor, your power, the reputation of Grand Duke Aubrey and Grand Duke Adrian, plus my promotion plan," Tang En stretched out his right hand and shook it hard: "As long as you trust me, I will I am sure that you will all make a lot of money!"

Of course, Tang En added silently in his mind, it was right for me to take the big head.

"What about me!? What about me!?"

Alleria's eyes widened.

"Well……"

Tang En sneered and said, "Princess, all you need to do is support His Majesty Victor."

whispering sound! This bastard...

Alleria secretly despised Tang En, this was clearly discriminatory against women!

Victor asked very simply: "What is the plan?"

"That is to say, Your Majesty Victor, are you interested?"

"certainly."

Victor smiled bitterly silently. As an insider, of course he had to live with the Son of God. Even if he really couldn't survive and died, he could still be summoned by the goddess to enjoy the blessings in the Kingdom of God.

"Where are you two?"

Aubrey and Adrian looked at each other: "Of course I'm interested."

His Majesty Victor has followed, and as the two of them are members of the royal family, of course they have to follow.

"Before that, you must first agree to lend me five million gold coins."

Tang En smiled brightly: "Of course, I will return it to you after a while."

"Five million gold coins..."

Victor was speechless. After discussing it with Aubrey and the others, Victor said: "I will take out three million. Aubrey 1.5 million and Adrian 500,000."

Facing the proud Aubrey, Adrian clenched his fists. This is really a shame...

Even Tang En was surprised. He didn't expect Grand Duke Adrian's finances to be so tight.

"Thank you. Now, let me explain my plan... Of course, you may not understand it now, but you just need to remember it."

Tang En coughed lightly, stood up and said seriously: "Let me ask you first, what is the most important thing in the current Purandal, or in the current Illrus Empire, that is, in our society?"

A simple question, but it left Victor and the others dumbfounded and unable to answer.

The most important thing is that the people of Purandar have never thought about this question, so they have no way to answer it.

"……strength?"

Aubrey asked tentatively: "With power, there is everything—almost everything."

Adrien nodded in understanding.

"Royal power?"

After speaking, Victor shook his head: "Divine right?"

Alleria frowned. Tang En must have deep meaning in asking this question, but... what is the most important? It's too general and too general. What matters most is different for everyone.

For a couple, the most important thing is definitely their children; for a person who is about to starve to death, the most important thing is definitely the next meal; for a businessman on the verge of bankruptcy, the most important thing is of course gold coins...

Alleria frowned and said, "This is a question with no standard answer."

Tang En waved his finger: "What is most important? Power? Royal power? Divine power? No, none of them. Ollie——"

"Baron Down! Pay attention to your title!"

Alleria was a little embarrassed: "Who allowed you to call me that!"

"Oh, sorry."

Tang En apologized without sincerity, and then continued: "Princess Alleria, your consideration of the problem is too one-sided and not broad enough. What I ask this question is, for this society, what is the most important thing? What."

There was silence in the room again.

"Currently, the most important thing for this society is manpower. Don't rush to refute me, I will explain."

Tang En waved his hand and interrupted Alleria: "Why manpower? Because everything now requires manpower to solve, transportation, planting, breeding, mining, casting, production... Yes, no matter what it is, it requires manpower. To solve it, but people need to eat, so to put it bluntly, what is really important to this society right now is actually food.”

"However, food is a very time-sensitive thing, because it can become moldy and deteriorate, and it cannot be stored. Therefore, it cannot become a measure of national strength and wealth."

"Therefore, human power became a symbol of the wealth of the great nobles. Having more tenants and slaves meant having more wealth."

Victor and the others nodded in agreement when they heard this.

"Well, here comes the fun stuff."

Tang En showed a wicked smile: "If the advanced productivity of this society is no longer manpower, but a brand-new force that can be controlled by manpower... Then the person who is the first to master this power resource means that what?"

As a king, Victor's mind is of course sharper. With just a few words from Tang En, he instantly understood Tang En's intention.

Victor's breathing suddenly became much faster: "Baron Down, do you mean -"

The proud Tang En did not notice Victor's title. He opened his arms and proudly announced: "Your Majesty Victor, Princess Alleria, and the two Dukes, be happy, you will witness a new era. advent!"

"I will bring a new era to this world!"

"An era of magic crystal!"
