The matter of the athletic meeting was thus decided.

As the dinner ended, the vassal knights who were in high spirits were taken out of the official residence, and in a very short time, the news spread throughout the Jianshi Pass, so that the gentlemen and celebrities, as well as the landlords, heard the news.

Athletic conventions are no small feat.

Even if it is a small-scale athletic meeting limited to the solid stone pass, it also worries many people.

The vassal knights are gearing up to show off their skills.

Even those landlords and merchants with small assets have prepared the best children of their families to play, after all, this is a step, if they can be seen by Baron Dylan, it is estimated that they will become knights.

Even the villages south of the Jianshi Pass spread the news in the shortest possible time.

But tomorrow will be the protagonist of this competitive conference.

Kant, who had returned to his room, was sitting in a chair, but his face was very calm.

It's still the same room I stayed in when I last visited.

The desks, chairs and wardrobes are all new, but the biggest difference is that the bed is covered with a thick fine wool blanket and a silky velvet quilt, and the overall arrangement is many times stronger than when I first arrived.

Baron Dylan has really earned a lot of silver coins in just over a month.

The lucrative salt trade can be called terrifying.

Kant naturally understood.

Even the vassal knights, who were still wearing thick linen robes, have changed into new supple clothes and thicker chain mail, which shows that the salt that Manid brought last time has whetted Uncle Dylan's appetite.

Otherwise, the atmosphere would not have been so harmonious when I came here this time.

He also held a separate athletic conference for Kant.

You must know that when Kant was escorted from the Lion Castle through the Solid Stone Pass, this Uncle Dylan did not show up.

I didn't even say hello as I should have been.

It's like not knowing who he is, let alone knowing that there is such a thing.

The ways of the world.

Kant curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and he couldn't do without interests.

The so-called family affection and friendship are often fragile and powerless in the face of interests, not to mention that this is a world where power is paramount, and the so-called moral views are just ridiculous remarks that bind ordinary people.

For the sake of the title, even his own brothers can turn against him, and even his biological father can be poisoned.

It's not because of the interests involved.

At the banquet, Baron Dylan's temptations to him were temporarily suppressed for the sake of interests.

"Huh." Kant couldn't help but chuckle mockingly.

Thinking of that picture, provoking his relationship with Nanjun, and highlighting the reality of Princess Sophia as his biological mother, all so that he, a former follower of his mother, could become Kant's dependence.

Naturally, it is a natural salt mine that Kant mastered.

No problem, Kant also cooperated.

With such a shield in front of him, attracting fire for him, why not use it?

Face? Dignity? The decency of the nobility?

Kant was dismissive.

If even your own development is so weak, what's the use of paying attention to these things, I'm afraid that those greedy nobles will have long been eaten by those greedy nobles, and they can't even eat the scum, where can they prove their dignity?

These are words that only the strong deserve.

"Dangdangdang."

There was a knock at the door, and Manid's voice rang out: "Lord Kant, may I come in?" ”

"Come in." Kant replied.

The door was pushed open.

Manid walked in, and at the same time carefully closed it with his backhand, and whispered to Kant: "My lord, everything has been processed, the number of silver coins is large, and it has been placed on the camel, and 10 Salander riders have been specially arranged to take care of it." ”

"Well done." Kant nodded.

"I'm going to buy some iron tools tomorrow and bring them back." Manid said, "We are very short of this material now, but there is a limit to the quantity that can be sold to us at the Solid Stone Pass, and it seems that we are afraid that we will smelt the agricultural tools and make them into weapons, and this point still needs you to negotiate with the Solid Stone Pass." ”

"I'll take care of it." Kant nodded and advised, "Buy more axes." ”

"Yes." Manid echoed.

The two of them talked about the same topic again, but without a deep conversation, Manid took his leave and went back to his room.

You can't talk too much about someone else's territory.

Although each other's rooms are connected.

But who knows if the soundproofing effect is very good, Kant is very wary of leaking secrets in this kind of conversation, in the film and television materials of the previous life, cubicles and secret rooms and secret passages for eavesdropping, can be quite common.

Pitchers have ears.

Kant naturally took care of himself and could not expose his power too early.

He needs to maintain a fragile balance.

………………

Kant's vigilance is justified.

Just as the two had finished talking, until everyone had fallen asleep, under the lower floor, a thin figure slowly squirmed in the narrow passageway, without making the slightest sound, and returned to a room in the corner of the mansion.

He quickly left and went to another room in the mansion.

Baron Dylan was sitting there with two vassal knights, waiting for him with a blank face.

The thin figure bent down and reported everything he had heard at the same time, and then stood quietly in the middle of the room, bowing his head and not daring to say anything.

"Go down, well done."

Baron Dylan waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.

The thin figure saluted and immediately turned away, extremely crisply.

The door was closed.

There were no footsteps outside the door.

Baron Dylan nodded in satisfaction and said, "These rats are still somewhat useful. ”

"Of course." The two most trusted vassal knights nodded.

The rat is a spy organization in the Solid Stone Pass, which has just developed in recent years, and was originally a caravan member of Baron Dylan's wife's family, but with the recent rise in financial resources, it has also recruited a lot of capable guys to help, which can be regarded as giving them a lot of useful information, and it has played a great role.

And today's covert surveillance of Kant also made Baron Dylan very satisfied.

"This Xiaokang is really young." He chuckled as if he had a chance of victory: "When we gain more power, we will be able to control him in our hands." ”

"You are wise." Two vassal knights flattered.

"Haha." Baron Dylan had a smile on his face.

But there was a bit of hatred in the depths of his eyes: "His father assigned me here, but he didn't expect me to get help from his son, I really want to see if he will regret it in the future." ”

Think about the insults you were subjected to.

and the humiliation of not being able to integrate into the noble circle of the North County now, he was resentful in his heart.

The vassal knight complimented, "Lord Dylan, now that you have a salt mine and have mastered the salt trade, you will soon be able to develop it, and you definitely have the strength to go further." ”

"That's right." The other vassal knight nodded as well.

Mastering the salt trade is equivalent to mastering the silver mine, and there will be a steady stream of large silver coins.

Baron Dylan smiled again.

However, he still rubbed his brows and instructed the two: "Be careful recently, our salt trade has attracted the attention of many nobles, as far as I know, Viscount Wayne of Rogburg is very curious about why we have so much fine white salt, and it is estimated that we have also sent secret agents." ”

"We'll be vigilant." The two vassal knights nodded.

"Good." Baron Dylan nodded reassuringly.

He was relieved of the two knights who had followed him from the beginning.

And at this time, he also said to them: "Don't look at the mining villages, if I can get a better territory, or even contact the hidden old tribes of Princess Sophia, even the lion principality can be subverted, and then the richer southern county will be our choice, not these barren northern county territories!" ”

"We are absolutely loyal to you!" The two vassal knights immediately expressed their loyalty.

"That's right."

Baron Dylan groaned a little, but still said to them: "Behave better tomorrow, test those cavalry brought by Kant, these guys are definitely not ordinary people, it is estimated that they were all elite knights in the past." ”

"What do you mean?" The vassal knight asked.

"It's best to join us, don't join us, and show goodwill now." Baron Dylan bowed his head slightly and said: "It may be the power of the Silver Plate Kingdom, after all, when Princess Sophia was still alive, he personally supported Cameron to the position of the Grand Duke, but before the Silver Plate Kingdom intervened, the princess died violently, and some hidden spies have not yet been activated." ”

The vassal knight nodded: "Understood." ”

Baron Dylan was also reassuring of them, but still advised: "Don't show hostility at the moment, when we are so strong that we don't need to rely on others, nor do we need to rely on Kant, we can tear our faces." ”

………………

The wind is surging in the stone pass.

Even in a dark room somewhere in the city, the spies who designed Kant in the first place were talking about it.

And the spy leader's face was playful.

After hearing the news of the report, I also made a decision in my heart: "Don't be impulsive. ”

The five spies looked at him suspiciously.

The leader limped to his feet, waved at them, and said, "You can leave, remember not to be impulsive, just continue to lurk, the next thing is not for you to mix." ”

"Yes." 5 spies leave the dark room.

The Spy Leader pushes the door open and enters the other room and redraws the crystal ball.

With the light blooming.

Some kind of mysterious connection emerges.

"Cherf, is there anything you need to report to Lord Earl? I'd like to inform you that you've been using the Magic Crystal Ball to communicate a bit more often lately, and I remember saying that you can just send letters to you about ordinary things. ”

Inside the crystal ball, an indifferent female voice came.

The spy leader hurriedly replied humbly, "There is important news to report." ”

"Say." The female voice remained aloof.

Swallowing and foaming, the spy leader quickly reported on Kant's affairs, which also pointed out that Baron Dylan had recently developed the salt trade and his strength had increased rapidly, and he also speculated about the relationship between the two and the question of the origin of the salt trade.

"That's all?" The female voice replied indifferently, "Continue to monitor, I will report this news to Lord Earl." ”

After the female voice finished speaking, the crystal ball directly dimmed.

Apparently the other side has cut off contact.

With a slight humiliation on his face, the spy leader snorted coldly and turned away.
