The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Then do you know where all these gold coins come from?" Carlo asked unwillingly.

Although when Soran was in Ganise City, he had made an agreement with him to "strengthen ties and share what they have".

But judging from the situation at the time, neither Sir Lipton's family nor Soran's White Bear Territory could conduct trade or exchanges across most of the Kingdom of Midburg.

Therefore, since Soran left Connacht and headed north, Carlo no longer paid much attention to him!

Therefore, he did not know Sauron's situation, let alone how Sauron made money.

Of course, he now only thought that it was Countess Katis that Soran hooked up with, and all this money was paid by Countess Katis for him!

But it is precisely because of this that Carlo is unwilling to accept!

He just couldn't believe that Sauron, a second son, could have such good luck.

First, in the Western War, he accidentally captured the eldest son of the Principality of Glia, and was named a hereditary noble for his outstanding military exploits.

Then, within just one year of arriving in the County of Ganise, he was spotted by the hereditary noble Countess of Catis, who took him as her "lover".

In the end, Countess Katis was willing to spend so much money to help him build this territory!

This is fucking nonsense. Is there still justice? Is there still law?

As the first heir of the Sir Lipton family, he shoulders the responsibility of strengthening the Sir Lipton family.

Shouldn't such luck belong to him?

Jealousy really changes a person beyond recognition!

Henry did not notice the change in Carlo's tone and just thought he was concerned about his master.

Moreover, a preliminary alliance has been formed between Henry and Carlo.

So he chose to try his best to answer the questions raised by Carlo.

So Henry continued: "This money was earned by the young master and Lady Countess Katis from their business cooperation! It seems that they sold a product called [Snowflake Sea Salt]!"

"As for the details, I'm not really sure! Because I'm in charge of the military, and business is mainly managed by Master Adam!"

"【Snowflake Sea Salt】?" Carlo couldn't help but exclaimed again.

You know, [Snowflake Sea Salt] and [Floral Soap] are the two most popular luxury goods in the Kingdom of Midburg in recent times!

Its speed in making money is one of the fastest in the entire Kingdom of Midburg!

But now he actually heard that this luxury product [Snowflake Sea Salt] was related to his younger brother.

So how could he not be frightened?

"Then do you know how my brother got involved in this [Snowflake Sea Salt] business?" Carlo couldn't help but want to know more information.

Because he suddenly realized that there were too many things he didn't know about his younger brother.

"I don't know about that!" Henry shook his head and said, "But I know the production process of this [Snowflake Sea Salt] first appeared in White Bear Territory!"

"And after [Snowflake Sea Salt] had been operating in White Bear Territory for a while, the young master started to cooperate with Lady Countess Katis to run the business."

When [Snowflake Sea Salt] first appeared, it was indeed first sold in White Bear Territory.

This also boosted the commercial development of White Bear Territory and brought the first batch of start-up funds for the construction of White Bear Territory.

"So you're saying that the production process of this [Snowflake Sea Salt] was thought up by my brother?" Carlo's expression showed some disbelief.

Henry frowned and thought about it, and said in a half-certain and half-uncertain tone: “It should be!”

But in Carlo's world, his words turned into affirmation!

So he quickly continued to ask: "Then do you know how my brother got the production process of this [Snowflake Sea Salt]?"

"I've heard Master Adam talk about this before!" Henry said with a smile, "Master Adam said that this was obtained from an ancient book in the library of the Donbass Knight Academy when the master was studying there!"

"Are you sure?" Carlo's voice suddenly became a little low.

Henry also noticed the change in Carlo's tone at this time.

So he also asked: "Are you sure? This is what Master Adam said! What's wrong with you? Master?"

"It's okay! I'm fine!" Carlo explained casually.

Immediately, he squeezed the horse's belly with both legs. The horse under him felt pain and hurriedly ran forward two steps, putting some distance between itself and Henry.

This immediately made Henry a little confused!

But he didn't find anything wrong, so he just let Carlo go on his own!

……

Over there, Carlo looked at the rich and fertile territory around him, his face had become a little gloomy, and he felt a little angry in his heart!

Carlo has been following his father, Sir Jose, since he was a child, and received the family-style elite education advocated by Sir Jose.

The core of this family-style elite education is to take family interests as the starting point. All actions and measures taken are aimed at strengthening and inheriting the Sir Lipton family.

This naturally includes control over other family members [such as through marriage] and the contributions of other family members to the family.

But according to what Henry said just now, the production process of this [Snowflake Sea Salt] was discovered by Soran when he was studying at the Donbass Knight Academy.

At that time, Soran had not yet left the family and had to go to school with his family!

However, he did not share this technology with his family and contribute to the family's development, causing the family to lose an opportunity to grow and develop.

Especially later, when Sauron came back from the west and sought help from his family.

Not only did the family disgrace itself by hosting a so-called "charity donation gala", but they also gave up a lot of their own interests to raise funds for the development of his territory.

Therefore, it can be said that the family’s help to him was great!

After all, it’s no exaggeration to say that the family’s behavior towards him at that time was like “helping someone in need”!

But he chose to turn a blind eye to the efforts his family made for him. Not only did he not get any return, he also didn't even say a word about the opportunity to make a fortune.

So in Carlo's opinion, Sauron's behavior was undoubtedly selfish. Not only did he lack the responsibility of a family member, but he also had no gratitude at all.

And this is exactly why Carlo was angry.

He believed that the family’s previous investment in Sauron was all in vain!

This made him feel that the efforts he and his father had made were not worth it.

As a result, the favorable impression he originally had towards Sauron dropped a lot in an instant!
