Only tricks win people's hearts

The emancipation of the demon slaves attracted opposition from many decadent factions within the nobles. They were loud and vocal, and felt that Hughes was blatantly using his status as a duke to do whatever he wanted.

Hughes' response was, yes, the Duke can do whatever he wants.

He directly signed the document abolishing slavery within the Cavendish province.

The administrative system of the Marigold Dynasty is actually a relatively loose political model. Every major province and every lord can adjust their laws and political opinions according to the actual situation on the basis of respecting the constitution.Simply put, they have a certain degree of autonomy.There are many examples in history of listening to the tune but not listening to the announcement.

Of course, most of those who dare to be tough with the emperor are big nobles who are not afraid of the royal family giving them small shoes.Like the previous Viscount Cavendish, he didn't have the guts, nor the financial strength, to argue with the royal family of the imperial capital.

Hughes, on the other hand, has become rich quickly since he had the Prael family, who can be called an infrastructure madman and has very cheap labor.

Moreover, Hughes is the Duke, and the entire Demon Race is theoretically subordinate to him.There's nothing wrong with transferring his vassals to his domain.There is no problem in promulgating some abolition laws in one's own territory.

However, combining the two...

It became that Hughes directly raised his middle finger in the face of the opposition from the nobles and the House of Commons. If you do not agree to the abolition of slavery, I will transfer the slaves to my territory and abolish it in my territory. it.Oppose as much as you like, but I choose not to listen.

No matter how angry the other nobles were, they had nothing to do with Hughes.

Because the royal family's attitude towards this matter is rather ambiguous.They neither voiced opposition nor voiced support. They seemed to suddenly become blind, deaf and fools overnight. Turn a blind eye to this, pretend that you don't see anything, you don't have a thought.

because……

The handle of His Majesty Hutu II was seized by Hughes-he secretly embezzled the inheritance of the descendants of the blood of the seven heroes.

Here is an explanation. Most of the Seven Heroes died in the Millennium War. Their noble souls returned to the Kingdom of God, but they also received the honor and wealth they deserved after death.

These properties are all inherited by their descendants and passed on from generation to generation, and the property will not be re-owned until the family blood is cut off.But in theory, these inheritances cannot be moved, because no one can be sure whether Qiying will be reincarnated or not, or whether they still have other bloodlines.

Each race preserves the legacy of its own heroes.But there are also some special circumstances, such as the demons. When most of the demons are slaves, the inheritance of Lord Eliog is handed over to the human Calendula Dynasty for safekeeping.

After all, there are still a small number of people who can face Baoshan without being moved.

In the beginning, the emperor of mankind just borrowed it for turnover, and thought about making it up after the problem was solved; later, it became a loan without return; and later, he directly regarded Mr. Eliog’s property as his own money, Give and take.

When the throne was handed over to Hutu II, it was already the last default situation, and because of Hutu II's extravagant spending habits, the legacy of His Excellency Eliog is now running out. Hutu II really didn't think about others at all.

But the whole continent is watching, thinking that the royal family will return the inheritance to Hughes after recognizing Hughes' identity.

What will Hutu II pay back?Many of those properties are antiques with prices but no market. It is very happy to find someone to sell them quietly for money to squander, but now it is very difficult to buy them back.The most important thing is that it is impossible for Hutu II to spend the property of the royal family indiscriminately, even if he is the emperor, otherwise he would not have thought of the idea of ​​a hero's inheritance.

Hughes was the creditor, and the Queen Mother, Margarita, was the one who personally sent Hutu II's IOU and embezzlement certificate to Hughes.

Over the years, she has been committed to opposing her youngest son, secretly collecting a lot of evidence against Hutu II.It's just that these evidences were not enough to be the bargaining chip for the Queen Mother to let her son go out, so she was not in a hurry to use them to stir up trouble.But it is not insignificant, at least now it is enough to facilitate Hughes, contain and threaten Hutu II, and make him shut up.

The Queen Mother Margarita's help is naturally not free. Her purpose is very simple. By elevating Hughes' duke status, Hughes can help His Royal Highness Andrew ascend the throne.

She looks forward to the moment when her grandson ascends the throne all the time.

Then she will be free.

After Hutu II was threatened, no matter how angry he was, he could only temporarily swallow the bitter fruit and become a foolish emperor who neither supported nor opposed.

What the players need to do is to take advantage of the time when the big bosses are playing games, and continuously bring the demon slaves from outside back to the Cavendish province, so that they can have de facto freedom.

At the beginning, the players felt that the difficulty of this mission was the opposition of those human nobles. They regarded the demon slaves as their own private property, so they definitely couldn't bear to "lose money" like this one after another, and they would definitely try their best to prevent the players from rescuing them. .But the real difficulty lies in the demon slaves themselves.

It may be unbelievable to say, but apart from the demon slaves who desperately desire freedom and have awakened themselves, there are many demon slaves who are loyally protecting the "master" and sincerely want to protect the interests of the "master". Very against the idea of ​​being free.

"I just want my master to treat me a little better instead of leaving him."

"Without me, who will take care of my master?"

"Besides being a slave, I don't know what else I can do, I'm only good at it."

This is beyond the imagination of players who grew up in peaceful times and believed in equality for everyone.How could the demons be so servile?Many people even called the game planners "stupid", so there would be no such demons.

but……

The reality is so ironic.In the process of "transporting" the demons, players have to guard against not only the thugs sent by the nobles, but also the possibility of the demons themselves escaping.

"I even thought that I was the bad guy." Brother Xi's female friend was exhausted physically and mentally. She had just completed a mission, but the slaves she rescued cried like they had been wiped out, "I helped her come to the Cavendish province, but she has been crying and begging me to let her go back to the manor where she has lived for generations. She lived well there. Miss has done her favorite hairstyle."

Creatures that can think are always very complicated, and those who are willing to go to the Cavendish province will naturally feel that they are harming him.

The subtle influence of brainwashing is so terrible.

Hughes originally wanted to patiently explain to each of the demons, meet their requirements as much as possible, and listen to their opinions, but then he experienced too much, so he gave the order directly and forcefully.

After he got angry one time, he even directly said to some demons: "I rescued you not because I was a good person, nor because I owed you in my previous life. Shame on the face of my ancestor Eliog, understand? Whether you are willing or not, is not in my consideration! I have no obligation to take care of all your demons!"

A simple and powerful vent, on the contrary... is more useful than any mobilization encouragement in the past. The demon slaves who have long been accustomed to obeying orders readily accepted Hughes' angry words.

No longer trying to shamelessly cause trouble in the large province of Cavendish, the efficiency of players' resettlement work has more than doubled.

Logically speaking, when Hughes said something like this, the Holy Mother would definitely stand up and criticize him. Gu Jingbai was already mentally prepared to lead a wave of rhythm among the players.He knew that Hughes didn't think so, he was just too tired, exhausted, subconsciously chose such a simple and crude solution.

As a result, most players cheered the Duke of Beauty instead, because they were also suffering.

This is a bit wrong, but the fact is that the players are now in the same position as Hughes, and Hughes' decision is beneficial to them, and they will naturally like Hughes more and more.

"Our duke is so handsome!" Xi Ge and Gu Jing kept talking.

"Don't you think he's being too arbitrary?"

"Then what should we do?" Brother Xi will take the initiative to defend Hughes in turn, "Those demons don't listen to advice at all. Sometimes, if you don't be tough, they will only make an inch. Since the reason doesn't make sense, then let's start Do things tough, and then slowly figure it out. They don’t know the joy of freedom now, and after a while they get used to it, let them leave the Cavendish province, and they won’t.”

"Our little duke can't do anything about it. Brother Lian, don't get me wrong. The little duke's words are just angry words. He has half the blood of the demon race himself. How could he harm his own people?"

Sure enough, when the mission was about halfway through, the demon slaves who were first brought to the Cavendish province but opposed freedom had already adapted to life in various villages, and never mentioned anything about returning to their masters. If you continue to be a slave, you will even take the initiative to help explain to the new slaves who resist more fiercely.

Hughes' aggressive attitude has also changed little by little over time, without the sharpness at the beginning.

Recently, Lu Zhi has been among the players every day. While cooperating to free the slaves, he also asked Gu Jingbai to register an account for him, learned to log in to the game forum, and surfed the Internet happily every day.

Recently the game underwent a social update.Players can log in to the game forum directly in the game, and everyone has a "player circle" similar to the circle of friends: in which they can post their own game updates and follow their friends' updates.

Lu Zhi... learned to show affection without a teacher.

Posted in the player circle yesterday——

I dreamed of you at night, happy. [Heart]

Posted in the player circle today——

I didn't dream of you in my dreams at night, but I saw your private message at a glance when I opened the message, happy. [heart] [heart]

It will be posted tomorrow——

Today I love you a little more than I did yesterday. [heart] [heart] [heart]

Brother Xi and others left messages below, yelling that they couldn't stand it, and threatened Lu Zhi, saying that if they continued to be so nasty, they would delete their friends.

Only Gu Jingbai was seduced by this weird way of showing affection, and he also knew that there was a high probability that his aesthetics would be greatly deviated by Lu Zhi's influence, but he just thought that this kind of Lu Zhi was very cute.He needed a stable relationship that would allow him to feel a strong sense of security continuously. Lu Zhi not only achieved it, but also overfulfilled it. How could he not like it?

Even one day when Lu Zhi didn't post the fandom, Gu Jingbai and Lu Zhi stayed together all day, but Gu Jingbai subconsciously went to Lu Zhi to ask: "Did you forget something today?" ?”

Lu Zhi hooked his lips, feeling that the time was ripe, he naturally pulled Gu Jingbai's wrist, and kissed the other's lips. The lips were slightly cool, but the kiss was as sweet as honey.
