Chapter 376. Compromise inside the crystal ball
The room was slightly dim, and Baron Dylan deliberately made the candle flame a little smaller.
The face distorted by the aggrieved was gloomy in the candlelight, and a pair of gloomy eyes revealed that he had been humiliated and suppressed the deep hatred of incomparable anger.
Baron Dylan felt like an old wolf king who had been banished, but he didn't admit that he was old.
A few months ago, he was in control.
I just didn't expect it.
That little cub was so well disguised.
Or forbearance, from the lion castle all the way to this, still forbearance in front of him, when everyone relaxed their vigilance and really let this little cub get a breather, but suddenly erupted.
"What a deserved, Grand Duke Cameron and Princess Sophia's child!"
Baron Dylan gritted his teeth.
His breath was short, his fists clenched, his knuckles clicking slightly.
Now Baron Dylan, under house arrest in his own territory, imprisoned in his room, it seems that he is still the nominal lord of the solid stone pass, but in fact, what is the difference between him and the prisoner under the stairs!
For him, who has a brutal temper, it is better to live than to die!
"Dangdangdang."
There was a knock on the door.
At the same time, a rough report came from outside the door: "Baron Dylan, your lady is here, I hope you have a pleasant chat, but the time should not exceed half an hour, and the curfew will be soon." β
"I see." Baron Dylan's face was even more gloomy, and he answered, but there was a glint in his eyes.
The door opens.
A plump woman walked in.
With a little panic on his face, he walked in quickly, looked at Baron Dylan who was sitting in the dim room, and tears suddenly flowed: "Dylan, oh, Aemond Bless, the god of war, finally see you again." β
"Hmm." Baron Dylan just nodded faintly.
This is his wife.
But he never looked down on it.
Baron Dylan wanted to marry the daughter of a noble family, but he was rejected by various things because of his background, and was ostracized by the mainstream aristocratic circle, which ushered in a lot of ridicule.
In the end, he could only marry this woman from a merchant family, although she was rich enough, but in the eyes of the nobles, she was very lowly.
"Sit down."
Baron Dylan had always been cold to this woman.
Not only because of her identity, but also because this woman is really big-chested, although she is beautiful and has money in her family, her mind only knows money and money, and she has nothing but silver coins.
and secretly gave his family all kinds of benefits, and even used the identity of Baron Dylan to train knights on his own, and obviously wanted to make his merchant family go further by climbing up to the baron, become a squire, train a few knights, and eventually become a minor nobleman.
These Baron Dylan all looked at it, but they didn't say anything.
It's also a help for him.
It's just that now, in danger, Baron Dylan has to make good use of his wife's family, after all, the original salt trade has been handed over, and now that something happens, they can't treat it as nothing.
"Dylan, now... Nowβ" It's just that his wife is still crying, already panicking.
"Quiet."
Baron Dylan snorted coldly.
Looking at this woman with a good face and a mature charm, he didn't have the slightest idea, but lowered his voice and said, "Did I bring what I gave you?" β
"With... Broughtβ" replied the lady tremblingly.
"Get it out!"
Baron Dylan's eyes lit up, and it was about his future security and hope for regaining power!
Madame hurriedly took out a small crystal ball in the private part of her arms, which was crystal clear, and there were many fine lines inlaid with gold, which looked like a very exquisite handicraft.
"Very good."
A smile finally appeared on Baron Dylan's gloomy face.
"But... Dylan... You..."
His wife's heart was still trembling.
As the daughter of a businessman, she really didn't know what to do at this time, she just did what Baron Dylan told her, and as for her own thoughts, she didn't have the slightest idea, or she didn't have enough of the overall situation.
"Go back to your room, and I'll do the rest."
Baron Dylan smiled: "Mark my words." But his face became solemn: "Don't say more." β
"Well... Okay..."Madame could only nod.
Keep getting up.
The plump mature body is as alluring as the sweetest peach.
It's just that there is still a bit of trepidation on the delicate face, which destroys this beauty.
In the end, her big eyes trembled at Dylan, and she silently opened the door and left, returning to her room under the guidance of a few little maids, of course, along the way, Fengyun's body was still trembling with fright by the infantry's aggressive gaze.
All are men of flesh and blood from the continent of Calradia, and of course there is an appreciation of good things.
Including beauty.
Of course, this is also the reason why Kant and Phatis had good discipline requirements.
If Rolf, a villain nobleman, is estimated to be able to take down this peach that still has charm and is ripe enough to be picked at any time on the second day of entering the Jianshi Pass, and he will continue to sing day and night.
Evil generals don't have high requirements for morality and discipline.
Baron Dylan didn't care, though.
If a woman is gone, she can marry again, if he dies and loses his territory, then it will really be a catastrophe!
Seeing the door being closed again, Baron Dylan's face became gloomy, and he listened carefully to the footsteps outside gradually disappearing, and he naturally understood that this was the sound of patrols leaving every once in a while.
Now outside the gate, only 10 elite infantry guards are needed.
Of course, there are also 5 great knights on guard in the opposite room, faintly surrounding his room.
"You really look up to me."
Baron Dylan sneered, and the gloom in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
took out the small crystal ball, half the size of a palm, and could hold it with one hand, and as the extraordinary power in the body penetrated into it, it was like charging, gradually lighting up with a mysterious light.
A wave of space also emanated in an extremely stealthy way.
"Lord Viscount."
Inside the crystal ball, a faint voice came: "It's good to come in." β
"Hmph."
Hearing the words inside the crystal ball, Baron Dylan's face became even more gloomy.
If he could, he really didn't want to contact this guy, it was this guy who led the mercenary group with himself, and in the central post station of the Narun Desert, the whole army that was killed was defeated, and he was reduced to a puppet.
But Baron Dylan didn't get angry, he knew he didn't have a choice now.
"I've got in touch with you."
Baron Dylan squinted: "That means, I now have autonomy, do you have any plans to help, after all, as the viscount of Countess Agasa, I still expect to offer my loyalty, after all, I am still a great knight!" β
"Of course, as a grand knight, you are of course the loyal viscount of Countess Agasa."
A response came from inside the crystal ball.
But his tone was slight, and his tone was almost playful: "But Lord Viscount, you must know what qualifications you have now, you can negotiate with me, no, no, no, it seems a bit rude to say this, but in other words, what else can you prove useful now?" β
"I'm a great knight, isn't that enough?" Baron Dylan squinted.
"Not enough." The answer in the crystal ball was crisp.
"Solid Stone Pass."
Baron Dylan hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said his chassis.
"Haha." Hearing Baron Dylan's words, the crystal ball chuckled lightly: "Lord Viscount, the current solid stone pass, if I remember correctly, should be in the hands of Baron Kant." β
"Nominally."
Baron Dylan took a deep breath: "I can dedicate it to Countess Agasa." β
The crystal ball smiled faintly and said, "Wow, nominally, do you know that this is nominal?" β
"Without this name, Countess Agatha would not be able to reach out to the Northern County Territory, you know, the current Northern County Territory, that is, Viscount Wayne of Rogburg, and Viscount Kevin of Masburg are fighting against each other, I think what they represent behind this is actually the friction between the top nobles and the Grand Duke of Lion, this statement is correct."
Baron Dylan gritted his teeth and replied, he saw the situation in the Northern County Territory very thoroughly.
Or rather, any nobleman understands what the current situation is.
There is a slight pause in the crystal ball.
The tone also became calmer: "Then Lord Viscount, are you sure that you want to donate the territory of the Solid Stone Pass to Countess Agatha free of charge, and are you willing to bear some consequences?" β
"No, not gratuitous." Baron Dylan squinted his eyes and vetoed.
"Please."
Inside the crystal ball, there was an expectation.
Moaning slightly, Baron Dylan said in a deep voice: "I need a new territory, whether it is a territory in the North County, or an East County territory, or a territory opened up in the wasteland beyond, I need Countess Agatha to give me, and at the same time can give me some help, so that I can develop in the new territory." β
"Oh, that's not a low request." The crystal ball replied, "Then what else can you do?" β
"The inside should be the outside."
Baron Dylan squinted.
His hand clenched slightly, and he said to the crystal ball in a deep voice: "I know the secret passage in the solid stone pass, I can arrange for the troops to enter the secret passage without being discovered, after all, this is once my official residence, I know everything!" β
"Good." The crystal ball chuckled again: "Countess Agatha agreed." β
"Okay."
Baron Dylan nodded, the glimmer of the crystal ball in his hand dimmed slightly.
This is due to a lack of energy.
He glanced at the door and said shortly, "I am willing to offer my loyalty to Countess Agasa, this call crystal ball can talk at this time every day, you can inform me of the specific plan." β
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
The voice inside the crystal ball replied, "You can just wait for Countess Agasa's arrangement." β
"Yes."
Baron Dylan responded.
And at this moment, the crystal ball in his hand also flickered a few times, and finally it was completely dim.
He looked at the delicate little object in his hand, the resentment in his eyes and the gloom on his face almost distorted him like a demon from hell, but he took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down.
With a tiger in front and a hungry wolf in the back, he had no choice but to compromise to save himself.
