"These cunning merchants of the South County."

Baron Dylan's face was gloomy: "If I meet them again, I swear I will hang them!" ”

As a baron of real power, he is certainly qualified to say so.

more qualified to do so.

In the legal provisions of the Lion Principality, it is clearly stated that if a merchant dares to defraud a nobleman, or coax a nobleman, he can directly hang the ** merchant on the gallows after being caught, as long as the fraud is true, there is no need for trial at all.

As Baron Dylan became angry, the atmosphere in the hall of the lords cooled down.

No one will be happy that they have bought a fake.

Or second-hand scrap used by others!

Chairs on either side of the long table.

The vassal knights who belonged to the Solid Stone Pass and obeyed the orders of Baron Dylan looked just as bad.

There was even a humiliating flush on his cheeks.

They had never seen the market at the beginning, and they had praised the workmanship because of this beeswax candle, showing how knowledgeable they used to be, but now they were exposed by Kant from the real top aristocratic class, and their cheeks were particularly hot and painful.

This is tantamount to becoming the hillbilly they despise the most.

As a knight, a noble noble reserve.

They didn't think they could compare themselves to the fat and only silver merchant, so they were extremely angry and hated to slash those treacherous Nanjun merchants.

"Uncle Dylan, these are candles."

Kant seemed to sense the chilling atmosphere in the hall.

Shaking his head slightly, with a sincere smile on his face, he said to Baron Dylan: "I don't think it cares, those profiteers from Southland can't come again, but for them, they have lost the rich nobles who can buy real beeswax candles." ”

But Baron Dylan was still a little angry: "I don't want to give this bunch of dangled bastards." ”

"Don't be angry."

Kant shrugged his shoulders and only slightly dissuaded.

The baron of the Solid Pass was indeed qualified to do so.

But that can't be said in practice.

Because behind the merchants of the Lion Principality, how could there be no aristocratic power.

Just like Baron Dylan has a caravan from his wife's family behind him as a tool to collect money, those large and small nobles in South County have already formed unspoken rules, basically the backstage of those South County businessmen, otherwise how dare these businessmen deceive the nobles, or Dylan, the real power baron, if he is either bold, or the background is extremely hard.

Baron Dylan complained for a while, and Kant listened for the same time.

As if sensing that something was wrong with him, Baron Dylan suddenly realized, "We haven't started dinner yet, have we?" It's all my fault, I almost forgot about it, mainly because the merchants in Southland are so hateful. Said and he hurriedly clapped his hands: "Serve." ”

The servants who had already prepared by the wall immediately brought a meal of dinner.

Roasted fat quail, roasted antelope tails, and sliced white bread coated with cheese with a glass of ale, and dessert is apples boiled in ale, coated in honey and milk bisque with a variety of condiments.

Very generous dinner.

The servants quickly stepped back after serving their food and waited again not far away.

The smell of food fills the hall.

Kant also praised: "Thank you for your hospitality, it is a great dinner." ”

"Hastily prepared, I hope it will satisfy your appetite."

Baron Dylan smiled and stretched out his hand and said to Kant: "Thanks to you, our food level can be improved, otherwise those profiteers in South County, every time they come to trade, they will scavenge all our hard-earned silver coins, you used to be the youngest son of Grand Duke Cameron in South County, and you definitely know that those merchants are really greedy." ”

"yes, they're greedy." Kant bowed his head unnaturally.

There seemed to be some depression on his face, but his voice was a little hateful: "To be honest, I don't like them very much." ”

The words are meaningful.

Baron Dylan's expression was slightly stunned.

He quickly understood, and quickly explained: "Oh, Xiaodde, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this. ”

He was apologizing for his gaffe.

"No, it's okay, Uncle Dylan, it's true after all, and I don't like those guys either." Kant shrugged his shoulders, smiled on his face, and said to Baron Dylan: "But no matter what, I am really touched that you can take care of me." ”

"That's as it should be." Baron Dylan nodded and smiled.

The welcome dinner officially began.

The topics on both sides also became normal, but the atmosphere was joyful.

But most of them were Baron Dylan and Kant talking, and the more than 20 vassal knights on either side of the long table, and the 10 Salander riders who had brought in, were silently eating their own food and listening to their conversation as backgrounds.

The night was getting darker.

In the hall of the lord**, the candles on the menorah have been replaced with new ones.

As the food was eaten to the ground, the dinner was coming to an end.

"It was a pleasure to talk to you."

Baron Dylan laughed, looking in a good mood.

"Me too." Kant bowed his head and smiled.

The conversation between the two ended in mutual praise, after all, Kant is also a time-traveler from the modern era, and several untraceable touting, as well as pretending to be curious, made Baron Dylan talk more lively.

The conversation was either lively or lively.

Timely praise and inquiries can make the atmosphere even more hot.

Of course, the dinner is coming to an end.

Baron Dylan swept over the 10 Salander riders sitting on either side of Kant with a smile in his eyes and asked, "Xiaod, are these 10 brave men who protect you vassals and knights who follow you?" ”

"Oh, they're the ones who protect me." Kant also smiled and replied, "But not chivalry." ”

"Oh? I'm curious about this. ”

Baron Dylan was still smiling, and asked Kant, "Their physique is very strong, and they have completely reached the rank of knights, is it possible that such excellent talents have not been canonized and become knights with village fiefs?" ”

"There is no village in the Narun Desert that can be canonized." Kant shrugged his shoulders, looking very regretful and declining: "Uncle Dylan, you said that North County is a barren place, then you have definitely never been to the Naren Desert, which is the real barren." ”

"Naron Desert, no, I've been."

Baron Dylan had a bit of nostalgia on his face: "Ten years ago, your father, Grand Duke Cameron, took us to exterminate those gnolls, which was the sentry oasis. As he spoke, his face was also a little solemn: "The battlefield lasted for 2 weeks, and we came back, the environment there was really too bad, and the supply line of 2,000 cavalry was maintained to catch up with the scale of the war with the Yinpan Kingdom." ”

Kant nodded, his tone still lost: "That's right, it's hell there." ”

"I understand." Baron Dylan opened his mouth and said: "Xiaodde, you can stay in the stone pass, no one will say anything, in a place like the Naren Desert, except for beasts like jackals, no one wants to survive there." ”

Kant shook his head and said, "And my people. ”

But there was a little bit of emotion on his face, and he looked at Baron Dylan, and still sighed softly: "I also have my own guards, although there are not many of them, but it is absolutely no problem to resist the attacks of those small groups of gnolls." His tone paused slightly, and he also withered: "What's more, I promised my father that I would become the lord of the Narun Desert, instead of hiding in a rocky pass, like a turtle swimming in the Resniston River, and shrinking my head when I encounter any difficulties." ”

"What an ambition." Baron Dylan seemed pleased, nodded to the vassal knights on either side of the long table, and said, "He reminds me of Princess Sophia, you know, when I followed the princess, she had a very tough personality. ”

The vassal knights nodded awkwardly.

Especially the vassal knights who defected in the past two years, they bowed their heads and remained silent.

Princess Sophia is a taboo subject in the Duchy of Lion, that is, the remote stone pass, and Baron Dylan, who once followed Princess Sophia, can say unscrupulous.

They are just little knights, where do they dare to talk nonsense.

Kant looked at Baron Dylan sincerely, as if he had found a soulmate, and said in a touching tone: "Thank you for your understanding, Uncle Dylan, this makes my heart full of motivation." ”

"If you encounter any difficulties, come to me!" Baron Dylan patted his chest, and his tone was not evasive: "When I followed Princess Sophia, I was still a cavalry guard, and before you were born, I was fighting for your mother's loyalty!" ”

"Thank you very much." Kant's face was full of emotion.

Baron Dylan smiled and nodded, like a real elder.

The two chatted about some warm topics again.

Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, Baron Dylan also said to Kant: "Xiaodde, after the banquet at noon tomorrow, I will arrange a small-scale athletic meeting in the afternoon, after all, we don't have too many entertainment activities in North County, and this kind of athletic conference will be held, just when you come here, my uncle's welcome ceremony." ”

His words fell, and the faces of the vassal knights next to him suddenly filled with joy.

A lot of people are talking to each other.

Athletic tournaments are also an event that the Duchy of Lion is keen on, and the first place in the tournament will also help your reputation, and if a nobleman wants to canonize a knight's fief, they will also consider these reputations.

After all, to become the first place in the competitive conference, the force is definitely not low.

As long as you show the right loyalty, you can easily gain the favor of the nobility.

And in the barren North County, the last time a competitive meeting was held two years ago, Viscount Wayne of North County, in the Rogue Castle where he ruled, and the grand situation at that time attracted the attention of almost the entire North County.

It is said that the knight who won the first place already had 3 villages as a fief.

I can't help but let these vassal knights not move.

Kant naturally understood the significance of the convening of the athletic conference, and with a touched look on his face, he said to Baron Dylan: "Uncle Dylan, is this too wasteful, the cost of the athletic conference is not small, even if it is a small-scale athletic conference, if there are no 500 large silver coins, it is estimated that it will not be able to be opened." ”

"Small-scale." Baron Dylan smiled and nodded, as if he was very grateful to Kant: "Even your guards, and my vassal knights, are limited to our Solid Stone Pass, and will not invite lords from other places. ”

"That's so thankful." Kant was even more moved.
