"Slave business? Serf business?" Xingge asked curiously.
"They are not serfs. It's the slave business targeting knights. For example, civilian knights who are eager to find a job." Luther said here and briefly told Xingge about Xiaobai's experience with the Cheetah Mercenaries.
"They actually sold my friend as a slave." Xingge reacted violently. The drink cup in his hand was crushed with a snap. Anger flashed in his eyes, and he stood up suddenly.
There are many types of friends.
Some friends are drinking and eating friends. When you have money, you can treat these drinking and eating friends to food, drinks and entertainment. But when you have no money, these drinking and eating friends will scatter like monkeys.
Some friends are friends for life.
Xingge is this type of person. From his attitude towards civilians, we can see that he is an upright and noble person. As long as you can make friends with him, he will help you without hesitation when you encounter problems.
For example, every time Luther asked Xingge to do something, Xingge never refused.
Not to mention that Xingge, Xiaobai and the members of the Cheetah Mercenary Group are also like-minded. Because Xiaobai and the members of the Cheetah Mercenary Group are also noble people.
A peculiar knight who can stand up for the common people.
Now Xiaobai and the members of the Cheetah Mercenary Group have been sold as slaves. If Luther hadn't just arrived at Titan to save them, their fate would probably be just one word.
die.
Even if we had gone a few days later, the cabbage might have really died.
This is so infuriating.
"These bastards from Shillington have so many options for doing business, but they choose to do this kind of unscrupulous business." Xingge was so angry that he was shaking.
At this time, the maid handed over a towel obediently. Xingge took the towel and wiped the clothes that were wet by the drink.
"Shillington is a big family, one of the eight nobles. They are also respectable people, so ordinary members will not engage in this kind of business, and there is no need. It must be some embarrassed and poor members below who will fight against such slave traders. So I ask you to help, investigate the mastermind, and then kill the mastermind. Then fight with the people of Shillington."
Luther said in a deep voice.
"From your tone, you seem very excited and want to do something big." Xingge suddenly looked at Luther suspiciously.
This guy.
"Of course I want to help Xiaobai and the others vent their anger, but I also want to do something. Both official and personal matters." Luther had nothing to hide, and there was no need to hide it, so he nodded and admitted it.
"Does your Pompeii family want to show off? You have big ambitions. But this is normal. Before this, I heard that your Pompeii family is just a Knight Lord family. And a Knight Lord family actually has two Title Knight-level combat forces. Such a powerful family will of course want to get more."
Xingge was born in the White Dragon Emblem, a noble family in the palace. He received elite education since childhood and was quite knowledgeable about politics. He immediately understood Luther's purpose.
"No problem, I will help you. Because we are friends. But if you go against the king in the future, I will have to think about it. Because I am the heir of Tulip, there are some things that cannot be emotional."
Xingge said in a serious voice.
"I understand." Luther nodded.
Everyone has a burden on their shoulders after they grow up, but the weight varies. Luther and Singer both have heavy burdens on their shoulders.
Luther is the heir to the White Eagle emblem and the current actual controller of the family.
Xingge is the heir to the White Dragon Crest and a future noble.
One of the two families was a noble family in the king's court, while the other was a noble family with a real title. They were implicitly in opposition. Now Luther was making a big fuss just to ask the king for a title.
If Xingge helps Luther, it will not conflict with his own position.
If the new party wins, then needless to say, we will all flee to another country together. At that time, we will all be exiled aristocrats, with no positions or identities, but we will still be good friends.
But if the nobles win, the contradiction between the king and the real nobles will still exist.
Although we are still friends and can keep in touch with each other, our relationship has become antagonistic. There are some things that Xingge can no longer help with.
Anyway, Xingge understood Luther's purpose and agreed to help. So Xingge immediately called the butler and asked him to investigate the matter.
I believe that with the White Dragon Emblem's connections and influence in the royal capital, results will come out soon.
At this time, Xingge's anger had subsided a lot, because the drink spilled on his body, and although he wiped it off, it was still sticky. Xingge took off his yukata and asked the maid to get another one to put on.
Anyway, there were no ladies present and they were all family, so Xingge was not afraid of being rude.
Aliena doesn't count, this is a dragon.
Xingge put on a red bathrobe again, tied the belt, and said to Luther: "I understand your desire to make things bigger, and I will stand firmly on your side. You just mentioned the Eight Great Nobles, but do you really understand the Eight Great Nobles? They are very powerful traditional nobles."
Before that, Xingge glanced at Old Sol and the others.
The Eagle King dozed off on Aliena's shoulder, while Aliena ate cake with her cheeks puffed out, sipping her drink from time to time.
Old Sol was also enjoying his meal.
Xingge understood that it seemed that Luther was the one who made the decision in this family.
Xingge was a little jealous.
My father is dead, but it is still not my turn to inherit the family.
My sister is so strong.
Why.
Xingge and the Grand Duchess have always had a good relationship, and Xingge is also the Grand Duchess's heir.
However, Xingge was very upset about the fact that he inherited the title after his elder sister.
Xingge was a little distracted. Luther nodded and said, "I know what the eight nobles mean. The eight knights under the first king Mishu became the eight nobles in nearly a thousand years. Although your Tulip family is also very powerful, it only became prosperous later than the eight nobles."
"They represent tradition, antiquity, and nobility."
"Now, two of the eight noble families have become real nobles, and the remaining six, including the Marquis of Shillington, are all nobles in the king's court. These six families are strong and weak, but the weakest one has one or two titled knights in charge, and belongs to a powerful family."
"Without your help, I would not have the ability to provoke the Shillington family in the capital. I am aware of this."
Luther can stir up trouble, and he knows how to stir up trouble. He is also good at selecting targets and is very clear about his own abilities and strengths.
A monkey that jumps up and down will definitely die an ugly death.
But the monkey who knows when to advance and when to retreat will become stronger and stronger.
