290.Affirmation from Donghu (page 2/2)
Just a simple disability insurance！
Yes, for a small fee, your minions can enjoy engineering assistance from Count Sharon, and we can guarantee that they will continue to fight for you as long as they can breathe, fighting with honor as a human being. the last moments of his life to forge a powerful vampire bloodline.”
“Ah this.”
Brother Zhongzhong’s statement surprised Count Andrei. He was a little excited when he saw Brother Zhongzhong’s robotic arm, but then he lowered his voice and asked：
“Wouldn't this be too inhumane? Asking them to fight until the very end to receive the Midnight Blessing.”
“But no one will cherish the rewards that can be obtained casually..”
Brother Zhongzhong shrugged and said：
“Of course you can mercifully grant those blood servants who have not gone through any trials the glory of midnight, and hope that they will not cheat and let you down..
Or you can give them what they deserve only after you fully understand their loyalty and identify the disloyal ones..
This is your freedom.
But I think you should learn from our Lord Murphy and Lord Tris. The Blood Eagle Clan only needs black iron-level warriors to become fresh blood..
This may sound harsh, but it does ensure that there won't be any weaklings among the new members of the Blood Vulture Clan..”
Earl Baishan fell silent.
After thinking for a few seconds, he asked：
“So, how much does the 'disability insurance' you mentioned earlier cost?？”
“Not expensive, very cheap, Your Majesty the Earl.”
Seeing that he was about to make a big deal, Brother Zhongzhong rubbed his hands together excitedly, making his mechanical hands make a tinkling sound during the collision..
he said：
“It only costs 300 gold coins for one person to insure, and 50 gold coins per month thereafter. Earl Sharon used her status as the Lord of Xi Ke and the honor of the Xi Ke Maier family to promise that she would be responsible for every insured person to the end..”
“Well, calculated based on the value of human life, it is indeed very cheap. So, let’s get 100 copies first..”
——
Andre returned to his room in the Blood Eagle Corridor，
He still felt vaguely uneasy. This uneasiness came from the "disability insurance" he had signed with Brother Zhongzhong just now.”.
He knew that signing this thing meant that the group of blood servants who would join his faction would be treated horribly. The emergence of mechanical prosthetics meant that they would become real fighting machines until their broken bodies could no longer accept it. Until any tempering.
Earl Baishan felt that he had just committed a real "sin"”.
“Yes, you have indeed grown up.”
Just when Andre was uneasy because of the guilt in his heart, a familiar voice sounded in the shadow of his room, causing the count to subconsciously hold the hilt of the gray claw staff sword at his waist, but then he Just relax.
Because Justice Shani stepped out of the shadows.
The leader of the Thorn Clan had rare approval on her beautiful and gentle face. Her golden braid hung low behind her. She walked up to her great-great-grandson and nodded with satisfaction.：
“Just now, you made a right decision.
I am pleased to see that you have finally figured out the difference between 'loyalty' and 'duty' and see the true value of followers with the sense that a ruler should have..
Your cowardice and unnecessary kindness are being stripped away bit by bit, and the heroic blood belonging to Boris in your body is also awakening..
But you seem uneasy about it？”
“Yes, Grand Duke.”
In front of his ancestors, Andre did not hide his uneasy mood. He whispered：
“I know this is necessary, and I have also made up my mind to learn from Archduke Tris about the experience of rebuilding the Blood Vulture Clan in order to rebuild my faction..
But this approach of treating human lives as nothing and personally pushing loyal servants into the abyss of war really makes people unhappy..”
“You are still young and you don’t understand yet. All loyalty must be tested by time or hardships before it can be perfected..”
Grand Duke Shani did not scold Andrei for his weakness.
she said softly：
“You can't always hope that you will be lucky enough to meet a loyal servant with a naturally obedient personality like Maxim like Murphy. You need to find your Maxim by yourself..
Or cultivate a monster of your own from your servants’.
War has always been a cruel thing.
But it will build strength and help you discern the loyalties that are truly worth valuing.
Ah, it was the right choice to leave you in Transia before. Andre, your sister and I have received your gift back to Borei Castle..”
The Duke of Thorns nodded with satisfaction and said：
“You haven't seen with your own eyes your sister's emotion when she saw the ferocious ice sculpture. She praised her little brother for finally growing up and proudly placed the ice sculpture in the hall of the Ice Palace for all her subjects to appreciate you. courage and strength.
You have gained her preliminary approval.
Of course, I am also very satisfied with the vampire heart you sent me.
The heart of wolfsbane, the power of wilderness and cruelty. Child, keep on keeping on, let you be polished under heavy pressure into a perfect and bright rough stone, and you will use this to realize your ideal.”
“I'm honored, Grand Duke.”
Andre's desire to be recognized was finally somewhat satisfied, which soothed his anxious heart, but he knew that such a trivial matter was not worth the trip of Grand Duke Shani himself. His ancestor appeared It must mean something more important to the Scarlet Keep.
So he waited patiently.
“The 100 Palace Sword Guards gifted to you by your sister are already on their way, and they will arrive at Scarlet Castle in half a month..”
Mrs. Shani ordered：
“But this is not the main purpose of my coming here. Help me make an appointment with Mrs. Tris and Lord Murphy. I brought them good news and intend to fulfill the completed agreement immediately..”
Having said this, Shani glanced at Andre.
she said：
“Murphy is about to be recognized by the Wolf Girl to become the real Governor of Transia, but this also means that you will miss the throne of this fiefdom..
Do you feel uneasy or discouraged by this?？”
“No, ruling Transia was never something I sought..”
Count Andrei answered very calmly.：
“This is not the country I swore allegiance to, nor is it the place where I decided to show my talents. This is just a stop on my journey. I will gain courage and growth here to better serve my true master..
I can only offer warm applause and heartfelt blessings to the fact that Murphy is about to become the King of Transia..
This is what he deserves.”
“Very good, this kind of magnanimity is also the attitude of a king.”
Mrs. Shani is more satisfied.
A strange smile appeared on her gentle face, she reached out and touched Andre's head with a "kind" smile, and she whispered：
“You made the right decision. Lord Murphy feels that he can rest easy after defeating the gnolls and accepting the allegiance of Count Xico..
But he may not know that this is just a small and even difficult to praise achievement that he has just completed..
Real trouble is coming soon. For rulers, maintaining authority and deepening rule is always more difficult than pioneering..
Hopefully Murphy is ready.”
