After passing through the bustling streets, passing shoulders with the noisy crowd, the street in front of me suddenly widened, a group of patrolling soldiers guarded in front of a gate, saw the Baron Zhandu entering, immediately saluted, and slowly opened the gate behind him - enough for two carriages to lead to the gate side by side, in the sound of 'squeak, squeak', slowly opened from the inside.

Unlike the previous hustle and bustle of the Lower Town, the Upper Town is a little more secluded.

Of course, the vigilance should also be tighter.

Dean was aware of at least five of these outposts - and Dean was not surprised by that.

Even, with the prudence and spicinessiness, with the prudence and spiciness, such an arrangement is the most appropriate.

After all, in the previous life, it was this marquis who guarded the last territory of Jadeite, and if it wasn't for the disease that took his life, he would undoubtedly be another hope for Jadeite.

If the Marquis de Vauban could be twenty years younger......

This was the wish of all the rebels in the Emerald Kingdom after hearing that the Marquis Vauban had died of illness.

And, of course, Dean.

After all, apart from the fact that the Marquis Vauban was on the same side as him and was a staunch opponent of the invasion of Siti, and more importantly, the Marquis Vauban was the most staunch supporter of the Archduke of Emerald.

If this were not the case, the fortress of Seandre would not have appeared outside Vauban at all.

"Meet again, old marquis!"

Dean muttered to himself silently, his gaze looking higher up in the inner city, where the castle was dim in the night, like a sleeping beast.

In the previous life, he and the other party were after the death of the female archduchess. One of the three flags of Emerald. The other party and the young king, His Majesty. Guarding the fortress of Seandre, while he wanders the lost territory, bringing hope to more rebellious Emerald people, the two sides are not strangers, and even, it should be said that they are quite familiar.

However, the meeting of both sides. But there are only a handful.

In the previous life, before Dean became famous, he was undoubtedly a small person.

And after becoming famous, it was already time for the fall of Emerald, and at that time, Dean shuttled through the lost territory, completing his revenge, and there was no time to meet the Marquis Vauban at all.

So, for this meeting, Dean has a hint of anticipation.

The convoy stopped in front of the suspension bridge leading from the upper town to the inner city, with most of the entourage. He was placed in the Upper Town, in the residence specially arranged by the Marquis de Vaubana. Only a few people were able to enter the inner city and meet the Marquis de Vauban - and in Tyre's party, apart from the young lady of the Baron's family, only Dean had this qualification.

In fact, whether it is the Tyr Collar, or the Fendi Collar, or the Janl Collar.

They are all representatives of their respective domains, and they bring their own captains of guards.

Of course, Lunde. Fendi's chief of guard is new.

And when he saw the cramped appearance of his new chief of guard, Elder . Delfendi glanced viciously at Dean and the young lady of Baron Tyre's house again—of course, he thought he was very hidden.

However, it was all in Dean's sight.

In response, Dean lowered his eyelids, hiding his murderous intent.

"How lucky to be at the Marquis's castle again! Miss Lily......"

"I need to rest afterwards, it's really tiring from this journey!"

Baron Jar, who knew nothing about him, praised loudly, and then, instinctively, wanted to invite the young lady of Baron Tyre's house.

However, before the words were finished, they were rejected by the young lady of the Baron of Tyre's family.

"Well, that's how it should be, that's how it should be!"

Baron Jar looked at the young lady of Baron Tyre's family, and when he saw Dean standing next to the young lady of Baron Tyre's family, a trace of jealousy flashed on his face, and immediately, he started haha.

Crunch...... Crunch......

The sound of the winch turning, the suspension bridge slowly fell, and after the sound of the 'bell', the entire suspension bridge fell smoothly on the opposite bank where Dean and his party were.

"Please follow me!"

Baron Zhandu, with the etiquette of a knight, invited Dean and his party.

After Dean and his entourage returned the salute, they all stepped onto the suspension bridge.

The drawbridge is not wide, only enough for a horse-drawn carriage, but it is long enough, and the rushing water in the moat, as well as the dark shadows that flicker under the water, indicate the unusually strong defenses here.

The ambitious Lunde. Defendi looked at this arrangement with helplessness and loss on his face.

Obviously, he didn't find a weak spot here.

Baron Janl let out exclamations from time to time, especially when he saw the strange fish full of fangs that suddenly jumped out of the water in the moat.

The young lady of Baron Tyre's family walked quietly on the drawbridge, her eyes swept around, and there was undisguised admiration in her eyes.

"The careerist, the ignorant, the good-natured, and...... Old fox! ”

Dean looked at the three nobles' watches, his eyes instinctively raised, looking at the castle that was almost close at hand, and commented on the Marquis Vauban like this.

Although the other party is a staunch supporter of the Archduchess and is in the same camp as him, Dean does not think that there is anything excessive about the other party's evaluation.

In fact, Dean believes that such an assessment is appropriate.

The simplest example: this is a 'private auction' that benefits the whole of Vauban County.

Vauban private auctions were famous throughout the four northern counties, attracting merchants and nobles to the city of Vauban to bring countless treasures, scatter large sums of Kimpton, and then take away the 'specialities' of Vauban County.

The circulation of coins and goods brought prosperity to the whole city of Vaubang.

The Marquis de Vauban only paid for the organization of a 'private auction'.

As for the cost of organizing an auction?

It is important to know that entering the Marquis Vauban private auction house is free for the nobles, but the merchants need to pay enough Kimpton to do so.

To put it simply, the Marquis de Vauban just stood up and got a qiē and became the biggest winner.

After all, after the auction is successful. He also takes a 1o% tax cut.

As the lord of Vauban County. The marquis had such a right.

And. More importantly, in the four northern counties, such an auction cannot be replicated at all.

First of all, you need great fame, which the other two earls of the four northern counties have no such fame, except for the Marquis of York.

It is well known that the Marquis of York had no interest in this 'commercial activity' at all, and was only concerned with all kinds of military installations and cavalry and infantry.

Secondly. The family foundation needs to be rich enough.

The Marquis of Vauban as a nobleman who has existed since the founding of the Emerald Kingdom has gone through twelve generations, and his family background is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, enough to convince anyone.

Last but not least, safety.

Fort Vaubana, with its wide moat, towering walls, and legions of guards, will give you a sense of security.

Of course. If you're worried about your safety after the auction, there are plenty of people in the city to hire - these people will be loyal to the Marquis de Vauban of course.

Therefore. You'll also need to shell out a portion of Kimpton.

If such a person is not an old fox, then who else is counted?

As for the three southern counties?

Naturally, the Grand Duchess would not compete with her allies.

As a result, the Marquis Vauban auction is unique in the Emerald Kingdom, taking place two or three times a year.

And this once again shows the wisdom of the Marquis Vauban - he will not be blinded by immediate interests, he knows how to stop in moderation, and he knows more about the truth that scarcity is precious.

If Vauban had held ten auctions a year, it would not have the prestige it has now!

"Welcome, Lord Marquis is waiting for you in the hall!"

An old man who looked like a steward walked out and greeted Dean and his party.

Immediately, the three nobles and the children of the nobles began to salute in return, and then, following the old man, walked through the corridors of the castle, towards the inner court, where the sound of music had already sounded.

Obviously, the welcoming banquet is ready to begin.

Of course, they weren't just the guests.

Guests from the four northern counties, and even the three southern counties, had already arrived in the hall—Dean glanced at the gown of the Baron de Tyre's family beside her, which had been changed in the carriage.

Undoubtedly, the young lady of Baron Tyre's family had already prepared.

Of course, not only the young lady of Baron Tyre's family, but even the straw-bale Baron Jar was dressed in a gown; However, that gorgeous cloth is placed on the other person's body...... It's a bit of a tyrannical thing.

The door of the inner court was open, and when Dean and his party appeared under the guidance of the old man, the people inside could see it at first glance - as the last person to arrive, it naturally attracted many eyes.

In the face of many eyes, Dean clearly heard the rapid breathing of the two chief guards belonging to the Defendi Leader and the Janl Leader beside him.

Even the three nobles and the children of the nobles were a little nervous.

However, due to the good education of the family, there was nothing wrong with them.

Six men, two rows in front and back—for the sake of etiquette, the man who was the chief of the guard was naturally one step behind his protector.

From the gate of the inner court to the stage of the banquet, there is a distance of about thirty feet.

And the guests of the inner court glanced back and forth during this time.

Compared with the previous scrutiny, the glance at this time was obviously more stressful, especially when several guests with extraordinary status in the inner court also joined in, and this pressure almost increased exponentially - the newly appointed head of the guard of the Defendi was already sweating on his forehead.

Although the chief guard of the Jan's army did not sweat on his forehead, his steps were a little erratic.

And the three protagonists are in a bit of a bad situation-

With every step, Baron Jar writhed his fat body unnaturally.

Baron de Fendi's nephew, on the other hand, had a slightly stiff smile.

As for the young lady of Baron Tyre's house?

Although she had the disguise of a long dress, Dean could feel that her steps had become a crutch.

"Yikes!"

And just as Dean finished observing his companions and was about to look at several aggressive eyes in the hall, the young lady of the baron's family in front of him suddenly let out a low exclamation, and then the whole person fell forward unnaturally.

Undoubtedly, this is stepping on the corner of his skirt in tension.

"It's over, it's going to be a dead man!"

The young lady of the baron's family closed her eyes and was in despair.
