In the other world, women only slow me down.

But in fact, his brain was working at high speed.

This banquet seemed to be held for the matter of the forging factory, but in the final analysis, Lynch was only holding it for one person, that is, the mysterious nobleman known as Fran.

Lynch was busy at the forge.

The intelligence network under his command is also working continuously.

Now, Lynch knows Fran's identity very well.

No one would have thought that this so-called Fran nobleman was actually a prince whose country was destroyed.

The culprit who destroyed the Fran country was none other than the ruler of Lynch's country, Luna's father, the poor man who was now paralyzed by a stroke - Brucekan.

After learning this information.

Many of Lynch's doubts were resolved.

Obviously, the current situation is inseparable from this prince who destroyed the country.

Although it is not known what specific means he used, Brucekan's stroke and paralysis were obviously related to him.

Lynch held this banquet just to test Fran's strength first, to see who he is and what kind of magical powers he uses.

In addition, the reason why Lynch invited all the nobles.

Because he wanted to use these nobles to do something immoral.

That is the enclosure movement.

As we all know, most of the farmers in this world are tied to the land. Although Lynch's forging factory is now booming, if it continues to expand, it will easily lead to a shortage of manpower.

But they want to develop the economy and collect money.

It is necessary to "liberate" these farmers who were originally bound to the land and let them work in factories and earn wages.

And without land, these farmers can no longer meet their food needs through self-sufficiency, and must use the money they earn from working every day to exchange for the food they need to live.

Only in this way can money circulate.

Create conditions for the development of capital.

Therefore, Lynch planned to tell these nobles in an implicit way that he might buy land at a high price and open more factories in the future.

So after getting this news.

There will certainly be many nobles who break the original land system to cater to industrial development.

However, in such a process, it is inevitable that the nobles will violently enclose land and the interests of the farmers will be harmed.

This is very immoral.

But it is a necessary stage in the development of the times.

Although Lynch seems to be very rich now, his wealth is only limited to his small kingdom today.

Looking at the Seventh Fortress and even the entire Seven Shields Alliance, the money he now possesses seems insignificant.

But the threat from the Black Dog Mercenaries and the Demon King's Army is imminent.

Lynch had to develop himself and improve his strength as quickly as possible, so he had no time to care about these innocent farmers.

but……

Then again.

Working in a factory won’t make you starve to death, but if the Demon King’s army comes, no one will be able to escape.

"Hmm... If I could become king directly, many things wouldn't be so troublesome..."

Lynch couldn't help but think so.

If he becomes king, he can directly support the development and expansion of capital from a legal perspective, and he won't have to be as restricted as he is now when doing many things.

And after becoming king.

He then had the qualifications to meet the spirit who was called the reincarnation of the goddess - Christine.

Once this thought came to his mind, Lynch could no longer sit still.

He rolled over and sat up from Rurikawa's thighs, and began to think about how he could become king in the shortest time possible, and at the same time, he must have dictatorial level power.

Chapter 3: Makuil's Egg (k)

As night falls, the stars twinkle faintly in the sky.

But at this moment, it was still as bright as day in the banquet hall of Lynch Manor.

All the prominent nobles in the royal capital gathered here at this moment, toasting each other, laughing and talking happily, creating a lively and peaceful scene.

At the entrance of the lobby.

Rurikawa, wearing a white dress and looking beautiful and pure, stood at the door, graceful and elegant. Her white dress swayed gently with her movements, and she looked like a blooming lily.

The texture of this white dress is very delicate, as light and soft as clouds and moonlight. The skirt is embroidered with patterns made up of silver threads, each of which is full of the breath of art. At the neckline of the long skirt, there is a circle of crystal clear and round pearls arranged neatly in size.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how luxurious this seemingly ordinary long dress is.

However, the owner of this long dress can perfectly control this luxury.

Rurikawa's short light brown hair fell naturally beside her ears, her eyes were clear and bright, and the corners of her mouth had the standard gentle but reserved smile of a noble lady.

Anyone who sees Rurikawa for the first time can't help but admire her in their hearts.

As expected of Earl Lynch, she is just a receptionist, yet she has such grace and dignity. The aura she exudes is no less than that of a daughter of a wealthy noble family. It is truly unbelievable.

Even the nobles who were used to seeing beautiful women couldn't help but keep their eyes on Rurikawa.

This is especially true for the young people who came to the party with their parents.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Gordon."

At this moment, Rurikawa gently lifted the hem of her skirt and gracefully bowed to the noble who had just arrived.

"Thank you for coming to the host's banquet."

The study during this period has indeed allowed Rurikawa to make great progress.

Rurikawa could accurately call out the names of every guest present, regardless of their social status, wealth, or whether they had met before, based on their family crests and characteristics.

For some nobles who pay attention to details, this will undoubtedly greatly enhance their favorability.

The nobleman called Gordon nodded slightly, but then he felt that Liu Lichuan looked familiar. After looking at him carefully, he couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Are you... the daughter of the Ruri River family?"

Gordon's surprise and suspicion caused some nobles around him who didn't know Liulichuan to look at him sideways.

Liulichuan family.

Once upon a time, this was also a famous and intimidating name.

It must have been very difficult for this child to fall from a noble lady to a receptionist, right?

Suddenly, some nobles who were filled with sympathy could not help but cast pitying glances towards Rurikawa.

But now, when Rurikawa heard the name of her family, she no longer had much emotion.

Facing Gordon's question, she simply responded with a gentle smile:

"Yes, as you can see, a lot has happened before, and now I am Master Lynch's maid."

When talking about this matter, Rurikawa's tone was still neither humble nor arrogant. She had neither the affectation of an ordinary noble lady nor the timidity of an ordinary maid. Everything was just right.

This performance made many nobles nod secretly.

As expected, he is from a famous family.

Even though the family has declined, its temperament is still so elegant and admirable.

Lynch, who could make such an outstanding woman stay here willingly, is indeed no ordinary person.

"Oh……"

Gordon nodded slightly, then followed Rurikawa's instructions and entered the banquet hall.

"Lord Oaken."

"Lord Draco."

"Lord Louis."

"..."

In the following time, Rurikawa still maintained such an elegant and relaxed posture, welcoming every noble who came to the banquet hall. In return, Rurikawa also left a very deep impression in the hearts of these nobles.

"Lord Xiton, and this...Lord Farran."

Just as the banquet was about to begin, two more nobles arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.

One is the current Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom, Duke of Heaton.

The other one is the prince of the extinct country, Fran, whom Lynch has been paying close attention to recently.

The man was wearing a black and red suit, with gray-blue hair and long bangs that almost covered his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on his face, but there was a strange and obscene aura about him.

Fran's most distinctive feature is his brown skin.

Most of the nobles had luxurious living environment and good food. Even some nobles who enjoyed hunting had only a light brown skin, not to mention some other nobles who paid attention to maintenance and had dazzling white skin.

It forms a very sharp contrast with the flange at this time.

From the outside, he doesn't look like an elegant aristocrat at all, but more like a member of the lower class.

But this is also very reasonable.

After all, before Fran became rich, he had always been a commoner, exiled between countries, so it was naturally impossible for his skin to be well maintained.

When Fran heard Rurikawa calling out his name, he couldn't help but reveal a very surprised expression on his face, and when he saw Rurikawa's face clearly, he could no longer take his eyes off Rurikawa.

Fran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Such a beautiful girl is just a receptionist?

Lin Qi really doesn't know how to be gentle with women. He is completely wasting a gift from God.

He had long heard about Lynch's experience as the youngest and most prominent nobleman in the kingdom, who had almost built his fortune from scratch, which made him very jealous.

But don't worry.

Soon, everything Lynch owned would be his.

Think of this.

A sinister curve appeared at the corner of Fran's mouth.

Being stared at like this by Fran, Rurikawa couldn't help but frown slightly. Perhaps it was influenced by Lynch. She felt very disgusted with Fran from the first moment she saw him. At this time, Fran's undisguised eyes made her opinion of Fran decrease further.

"My two lords...are you not entering the venue yet?"

Rurikawa asked the two of them.

Fran finally came back to his senses and said in a very greasy tone:

"I'm sorry, my beautiful lady, this is not my intention. It's just that your beauty has intoxicated me. I'm very interested in you, miss. I wonder if you are willing to leave Earl Lynch and join my name?

At least, I won't let a beautiful woman like you stand here and suffer."

Fran's words surprised the nobles standing beside him.

When nobles interact with each other, they pay attention to their appearance.

Who would start poaching other people's talents right away?

This guy named Fran really doesn't know what politeness is, right?

After hearing what Fran said, Rurikawa's noble smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

"Please respect yourself, Lord Farran."

Seeing this, Fran showed an expression that showed he was determined to get Rurikawa and said:

"It's okay, soon you'll be mine."

The reason why Fran is so confident is naturally because he has his own confidence.

A year ago, he was just an ordinary civilian, doing the lowest level job in the kingdom. Until one day, a mysterious female assassin named Kusaha found him and gave him a magical prop - the Egg of Makuil.
