Chapter 205: Muddy Waters

"You're doing a good job this time, Patilina."

Stroking the little head of the girl next to him, Jenn smiled satisfactorily and praised at the same time. Hearing Jenn's praise, Pattilina also smiled, revealing a rather happy expression. But soon, she wrinkled her little nose and complained with a little dissatisfaction.

"But master, next time you don't let me do this kind of mother-in-law thing, kill it cleanly, what does it mean to leave such a little tail? That Deli too, nagging and looking forward and backward, doesn't look crisp at all, and I am in a hurry to see it. If it weren't for the fact that you hadn't told me to do this, I would have ordered the others to kill them all! It's such a nuisance, and I don't want to have a second encounter! It's just sick! ”

"It's not a rush."

Hearing Patilina's complaints, Jenn waved his hand leisurely.

"You're doing a great job, and so is Deli......... That way, things are more interesting........."

As he spoke, Jenn smiled meaningfully.

In the end, Daily still didn't choose to kill Roddy and Kate, she was still a young lady after all, although she had a keen political mind, but when it came time to sacrifice others, she would still hesitate. After much thought, Deli finally chose to give up. Maybe it was the unknown third-party force that made Deli more vigilant, so even if it was very unhappy, but for her, the Federation now needs every ounce of strength to face the unknowable danger, so although it was very unhappy, Deli finally chose to let Kate go. As for Roddy, she didn't let it go. Instead, he "pressed" back after the ceremony, after all, this matter still had to be reported to his father and the Grand Duke of Ginkgo. There are many people, and Dai Li also knows that this matter can't be hidden at all. The next thing is to resign yourself to fate.

If Jenn appeared as the dungeon lord, then he would naturally ask for the extermination, but now that Jenn is playing a personable aristocratic knight, this vicious behavior should be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, not only will he not have any criticism of what Deli has done, but he will even praise the other party for respecting life -- of course, the real reason why Jenn wants to praise the other party is definitely not this one.

Of course, he knew very well what would happen to Deli if she sent these two people back to their respective families, and both the Soros family and Ginkgo Biloba would make a move. And that's not all. The current Skar Federation is also in chaos.

Things turned out just as Jenn had expected, and the Pawood family won the jousting trial. But the losses caused were not small, almost all of the ten council families suffered heavy losses in this martial arts ceremony, Soros and Ginkgo Biloba were okay, although they failed, but their heirs still came back alive. Several other families suffered heavy losses, several heirs died and disappeared during this martial arts ceremony, and less than one in ten were able to come back alive, and there are different theories about the ones they brought back. Some say that they have been attacked by bandits, while others say that they have been attacked by monsters (the latter is naturally a rumor that Jenn deliberately let go). All in all, it can be summed up that except for the Pawood family, which did not lose anything in this ceremony, the other nine families suffered heavy losses. This further weakened the Commonwealth.

And in the elections to the Federal Assembly, it is not known for what reason, before the election of the consuls. The Soros family suddenly announced that they would withdraw from the race, and there was an uproar as soon as this statement came out. No one knows what kind of medicine the Soros family sells in the gourd, but since the Soros family has chosen to withdraw from the election. Then the Pawood family naturally became the next consuls of the Federal Assembly. On a normal day, this news would naturally make the Pawood family happy. However, it is a pity that due to such a big mess ahead, the Pawood family has to deal with the internal problems of the council first to avoid any accidents. As you can imagine, this is no simple task.

However, this had nothing to do with Jenn anymore, and after the Pawood family became consuls, he left Solid City with the others. Many people have speculated whether the decorated nobleman has made some kind of agreement with the Pawood family, but no one has learned the truth.

In fact, if they knew the truth, their jaws would drop in surprise.

Thinking of this, Jenn reached out and pushed his glasses, then lowered his head to look at the beautifully decorated national book in his hand. This was personally handed over to Pawood the Elder the day after he became Consul of the Federal Assembly, and there was no warm welcome or a noisy banquet, but in a secret room, the two men completed this exchange of interests. Even Dellie didn't know the exact details, and the details of the deal were only known to Jenn and Pawood Sr.

It's no wonder they're so cautious, so if this deal gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar throughout the Skar Federation.

In the agreement, Pawood the Elder, as consul of the Federal Assembly, recognized Jenn's ownership of Passus. This means that from today onwards, the entire Passus region -- including the Landa Valley, Starfall Fang, and a large area centered on Passus -- will be completely independent from the Federation. Although in order to hide people's eyes, the two sides also wrote some clauses in it to confuse others, such as upgrading the authority of this area to the Duchy of Passus, and strengthening the political ties between the two sides, etc.

But any old politician can see the real intent behind this deal.

Traitorous.

To put it bluntly, the elder Pawood simply "ceded" the Passus region to Jenn personally, and from now on, Jenn's identity is no longer a lord of a land, nor a prince, but a real ruler, a lord of a principality. He is not like the lords within the Scarr Federation, and he still needs to serve the Skar Federation. In fact, Jenn was only responsible for himself, which meant that he didn't need to send troops even if the Skar Federation were attacked. And even if the Skar Confederation is defeated, there will definitely be no "Passus" in the territory annexed by the enemy. Because from now on, this area is completely outside the Skar Federation.

Of course, in order to avoid being seen by other people in the country, the elder Pawood also made quite a few provisions in the contract, such as guaranteeing the right of passage for both parties, guaranteeing the right of transit, and so on. These things are actually commonplace within the Skar Federation, after all, the ten lords were originally all princes, and these powers were all owned by them. It can be said that the power that Jenn has now obtained is not much worse than theirs, but his status is one level higher than that of these lords -- no matter how good these lords are, they also need to obey the orders of the Skar Federation, but for Jenn, what the Skar Federation wants to do is none of his business.

This was also the condition that Jenn first made to old Pawood through Guò Deli, and because of the importance of the matter, he did not even ask Deli to bring a message, but wrote a letter for her to take back. Originally, Jenn was just tempting, but he didn't expect that old Pawood didn't think much about it at all, and agreed in one bite. Because of this, Jenn decided that this guy who looked dying and decrepit on the surface was definitely a very ambitious guy, and being able to make such a decision neatly and neatly shows his decisiveness as a hero. And Jenn also knew very well that another reason why Old Pawood would agree to himself was that Passus was a remote place after all, and the taxes were not high in the first place, and there were no minerals. If you take a step back and think maliciously, this border area is bordered by Kasoya in the south and the wilderness in the east. Both sides are not very friendly to the Federation, and if you think about it, Old Pawood ceded this area, and it was difficult to ensure that Jenn did not mean to make it a strategic buffer zone between the Skar Federation and the rest of the world. After all, since this place belongs to Jenn, it is impossible for him to pat his ass and leave, but to do his best to maintain the Yiqiē here. In this way, the Skar Federation can at least temporarily worry about the threat of the wilderness, and concentrate on dealing with the Shining Gold Empire.

Ginger is still old and spicy............ Hehe......... Compared with the intrigue between the demons, Old Pawood's little trick is not enough in Jenn's eyes.

But even so, Jenn doesn't despise the other party. In fact, when it comes to intrigue and cunning, the demons throw hundreds of streets over humans, but the problem is that they are always too arrogant. It's as if in the eyes of the demons, those intrigues and tricks of human beings are as childish and ridiculous as children's thoughts, and they don't deserve their attention at all. But many times, it is these "childish and ridiculous" intrigues that cause their defeat instead. If the demons can spend half of their energy dealing with their own compatriots when dealing with humans, they will definitely not fail.

It's a pity that he also knows that this is just a fantasy, the demons are high-level people, in their eyes humans and monkeys are almost the same, you have ever seen which human will be on an equal footing with monkeys Only Jenn because his soul was once a human, so he will not underestimate the threat and insidiousness of humans, but how many other people will think about it, it is not up to him.

But that's for later, for now...............

Thinking of this, Jenn put away the paperwork in his hand and looked ahead.

Just before that, Clariston Guò contacted him with a magical message that Jenn's "manor" had been built.

Then it was time for him, the master, to go and accept the project. (To be continued......)
