Chapter 165
After Aarons moved out of Moti City and established a new base in Conil Village, negative public opinion once again flooded the entire border territory.
However, since the previous press conference had been publicly broadcast in the empire, most of the rumors were not very convincing.
It was said that Aarons was not the biological son of Marquis Moti... He didn't inherit the territory in the first place?
It was said that the princess's engagement with him was about to be cancelled, and the princess would marry another noble... Then where is that noble's person? If he doesn't come, the two people's child will be born in two days!
It was said that Aarons was plotting to rebel against the empire... He publicly supported the third prince in his fight for the throne, which means he wanted to rebel against the empire? Then those who supported the first and second princes were all traitors?
- Although these rumors spread quickly, not many people believed them.
Most ordinary people in the border territory were not very interested in the nobles, so they basically watched the show.
Infighting among the nobles? Then fight! More honor duels or something, it would be even better if a few more heirs of big families died!
However, some people are very interested in Aarons' recent movements.
"I heard that the useless young master... the Marquis is recruiting people recently?"
"It seems to be the case. The Marquis got a lot of magic cars from somewhere recently and is purchasing various manufacturing materials everywhere."
"It is said that ordinary people are given priority. Warriors and magicians can also go, but there will be no special treatment... I don't know what that guy is going to do."
Although most people still have the impression of Aarons as the "incompetent useless young master", they also know in their hearts that Aarons is now a person who can stand on equal footing with the princess and the prince.
- Maybe this place will soon be turned upside down.
...
And Aarons has no time to deal with these rumors now.
Although he can't help with most of the things in the base, he is not idle either - because Keliya has completely handed over the work of presiding over the overall situation to him, so he not only has to think about the next development plan, but also has to integrate those who come to support them.
"You can doubt my ability, but you'd better not question the efforts made by the people here... While we are sitting here chatting, the people in the factory have been busy all the time, Your Excellency."
"You are too kind, Lord Marquis. We don't distrust you, but your previous reputation is indeed..."
"If you are used to judging others according to rumors, why don't you go back and support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Everyone says that he is a benevolent person who loves the people like his own children. He must be more trustworthy than a waste like me, right?"
And today, Aarons met with several honorary nobles who came to inquire about the situation.
Although these people really want to bet on the third prince, they are worried that their investment will be lost-so they came here on purpose to dig out some valuable information from Aarons.
"Mr. Marquis, we believe that the Princess and the Third Prince are capable of competing for the throne, so we came here to ask you for advice. So please reveal some information so that we can support the two princes with peace of mind."
"If I don't say anything, you won't support the two princes? If so, please go back."
"This, this...Mr. Marquis, do you want to reconsider it?"
Although there are indeed people who don't care about the consequences and go all-in, most people are still hesitant - after all, the Third Prince is still weak and has few resources to use.
If there is no great nobles to support him behind the scenes, it is almost impossible to compete with the two princes who have been operating for more than ten years.
"Huh? Then I have to ask you first, can you win the territory in the Battle of Zhengrong?"
"I'm afraid... there is no such opportunity."
"You are incapable of competing with others, but now you are picking on us? Do you think we can't survive without your contribution?"
After saying this, Aarons slammed the table with anger, which scared several nobles present.
"If you treat us as beggars, then get out of here - I'm done. Xia Ye, show us out."
When the expressionless Aries beauty walked into the conference room with two royal guards, these honorary nobles who had originally planned to bargain left in disgrace.
- When he finally returned to the office, he found that several distinguished guests had been waiting here for a long time.
"Lord Zexiu, Captain Gemer, why are you here?"
"Hehe, I heard that the Marquis has recently developed a new thing, and I really want to see it with my own eyes, so I ran here."
"The Fourth LegionI received the truck sent by the Marquis yesterday... Although I don't know what technology it uses, it's really a good thing. "
Because these people are all his own people, Aarons had asked someone to send them a few samples before, hoping that they could give some new suggestions.
It's a pity that Aarons originally thought that with the new fuel, he could make thermal power generation and small batteries in one go. But a document specially submitted by Jiangyue before shattered his dream.
[Alchemical materials containing magic cannot be used for energy transmission and energy storage.]
-This is the most critical content in the document... So the most convenient rechargeable battery will not be made for a while.
"There is no outsider, so I'll say it directly-Earl Jiangyue discovered another property of the magic source stone a few days ago, so we now have a very convenient fuel and a series of derivative technologies."
"Oh? Those trucks parked outside are not driven by magic? I see..."
"Did you make any new weapons? Just before I entered the room, I saw a cannon that could move by itself... Is that also new technology? "
Because one of them is a businessman and the other is a soldier, they are very sensitive to this new technology that can improve work efficiency.
When Aarons handed them the technical information he had received in the past few days, the two immediately immersed themselves in reading.
"Although I really want to find an opportunity to try these new things, those guys haven't made any formal moves yet, and I can't mess around with them."
"Marquis, I think I can take this opportunity--"
"I'm very sorry to interrupt your conversation! Marquis, here is an urgent document for you to review immediately! "
Just when Aarons was about to chat for a few words, a royal knight ran into the office nervously and handed Aarons a letter and a document.
When Aarons opened the letter and simply read the contents, his expression immediately became strange.
"Uh... I was just worried that I had no chance to try new things, and they actually started to make trouble..."
"What happened?"
"The royal family has decided to cancel the engagement between Her Royal Highness and me, and has re-selected a new engagement partner. Five days later, that guy will hold a new engagement ceremony with Her Royal Highness in Moti City, and then officially announce it to the world..."
Looking at this unofficial announcement that made people laugh and cry, Aarons felt that the corners of his mouth had begun to twitch uncontrollably-
"Can I start laughing?"
