After the Freeman family's large convoy of nearly 600 people left, the news of the birth of the vine town soon spread to the city of Lockrode, the central city of the Frey family in the province of Changxia. The residence of the Marquis de Frey.

"Father, that Gordon. Freeman is so arrogant! It was no problem to execute the mercenaries who were causing trouble, but he actually beheaded Sir Mendolo, and then hung the body on the city gate for three days and three nights, until the maggots rotted and no one took the body back for burial! ”

Wald, nicknamed "The Fox of the Long Summer". Frey sat behind a gilded desk made of walnut wood, listening coldly to his third son, Wharton. Frey spoke impassionedly to himself about the vine town.

Walton. Frey holds the title of viscount, his fief is adjacent to the Hyven region, and the town of vines is also under his jurisdiction.

"So what?" Wald, who finally grew impatient with his son's accusations, sneered and asked, "What are you going to do?" Let me send troops into the Hayven Peninsula and arrest the Freeman siblings? ”

"It's ......," Wharton didn't expect his father to say.

Wald looked at the third son's pale face that looked pale and empty because of his indulgence in wine, shook his head and said, "The Freeman brothers and sisters are now deeply loved by His Majesty the Emperor, and we must not act rashly, otherwise we are likely to become the target of public criticism." ”

"But Father! Gordon. Couldn't Freeman go to the aristocratic court against him for killing the nobles who were loyal to me at will, such an unforgivable transgression? ”

"Hmph, I see that your brains are all over the thing between your legs, and you are cumming into the woman's belly!" Wald cursed a swear word that did not fit his image of an elegant aristocracy. "You went to the court of nobility and accused Gordon of killing that stupid pig in Mendoro? Well, Anduin's royal family will definitely send someone down to investigate why Gordon killed Mendolo in a fit of rage. And then what. Do you think you can cover up your slave trade? You can't bear this little thing, how will you do it in the future? ”

Wharton thought of the consequences of his illegal business being exposed, and his face suddenly turned even paler: "It's still my father who sees far, and I know it's wrong." ”

Although he apologized only to the truth, Wharton was not convinced: damn old fellow, Lao Tzu and the Aldrich family cooperated in the slave trade, not for the Frey family. Those cotton fields and tobacco fields. Those forest farms and coal mines, without a large number of slaves to provide sufficient labor, could not be able to operate. A steady stream of wealth?

Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction, Wharton could only curse in his heart. Because there are two older brothers in the family who are much better than him, one is in command of the Frey family's army, and the other is a six-ring warlock. If you want to keep your inheritance. You have to obey your father.

Just as father and son were talking. A messenger from the Eisenstein family brought a letter from the head of the family, Joseph. Feng. Letter from Eisenstein.

Wald opened the envelope, read it, threw the paper on the desk, and said to his son, "Take a look." ”

Wharton picked up the letter and read it, then smiled and said, "Father, it's a good thing that the Eisensteins want to ally with us, they want us to deal with the Freemans. And a lot of preferential terms were promised, which are in line with the interests of our Frey family. I think it should be said right away. ”

Wald shook his head: "You're too short-sighted. Walton. The Eisenstein family is indeed gaining momentum now, and even the emperor of Dragon En is interested in supporting Joseph to become the new Grand Duke of the Empire. If we ally with House Eisenstein, we will indeed gain a strong ally for House Frey, but if you think about it, we will also get more enemies. The Warhammer Lords and the Diamond Lords will not sit idly by while the rise of the Eisensteins rises. ”

Wilder. The reason why Frey is called the "Fox of Long Summer" is because he is cautious and cunning by nature, never takes a stand lightly, and makes profits in various power conflicts. "The last to arrive at the banquet took the biggest cake", is what many nobles say about Wald.

It is the tradition of the Frey family not to take sides, and Wald does not intend to break the tradition this time because of the Eisenstein family's wooing.

"Not long ago, the Grey Castle, an important fiefdom of the Eisenstein family, was destroyed by a mysterious mage who attracted the devil's army, and even Joseph's daughter Ephran died in the Grey Castle. Now all kinds of troubles are coming, and the Eisenstein family is difficult to deal with, so they want to use our hand to deal with the Freeman family. Joseph, that guy really wants to be beautiful, thinking that marrying a woman will make the Frey family obey them? ”

In the letter, the Eisenstein family resorted to the most effective marriage move, and the head of the family, Joseph, was willing to marry his niece to Wald's second son, so as to make a pact between the two families.

"Warlock bloodline is just popular." Wharton's heart was pantothenic. He had heard that the women of the Eisenstein family were all beautiful, and he had long coveted them. It's a pity that people fancy the second brother who has the bloodline of the six-ring warlock, and he, a gentleman, is just an inconsequential spectator.

So when he heard that his father was planning to reject the Eisenstein family, Wharton was still a little happy.

Wald glanced at his son, as if he had read through the other's thoughts. He added, "Wharton, jealousy is not a bad thing. If you can use it in the right place, you may be able to achieve what your two older brothers have achieved in the future. I would refuse the Eisensteins' outright request for an alliance, but privately, I could promise to deal with the Freeman siblings. Can you name my reasons for this decision? ”

Wharton pondered for a while before he cautiously replied, "You want to use the power of the King of Hyven?" ”

"A vulgar pirate, who dares to call himself the king of Hyperven?" Wald's face was disdainful, "But one thing you're right, I do intend to use the Aldrich family against the Freeman family. On one side are the two Freeman brothers and sisters with the halo of imperial heroes on their heads, and on the other side are the local snakes who have been entrenched in the peninsula for many years. There will definitely be a fierce fight between the two sides. We just need to observe in the dark and light a fire at the right time. When the time comes, the Freeman family will be dealt with without much effort, and the benefits of the Eisenstein family will be obtained. ”

"What my father said has benefited me a lot." Wharton nodded.

Wald was unimpressed by the compliment of the third son, and he gave it to Joseph. Feng. Eisenstein wrote a reply, sealed it with beeswax, stamped it, and sent it to the messenger to send it away.

The old fox, who had a huge influence in the southern part of Changxia Province, stood up, left his desk, and came to the window. He raised his eyes and took in the outline of the Haiwen Peninsula that stretched along the coastline into the distance.

"The calm in the south is finally about to be broken." He muttered to himself.

…………

The Freeman family's convoy of nearly 600 men swayed slowly through the mountains and dense forests. It took a week to get out of this turtle-like state.

After leaving behind the mountains and forests that stretch across the northern part of the Haiwen Peninsula, the convoy entered the plains of the eastern coastline. All you need to do is follow this plain road, which is rare in the entire peninsula region, all the way south, past the Black Iron City, and then through the Isthmus of Cork, to reach the seat of the government in the southern part of the entire Haiwen Peninsula - Cloud Scale City.

At that time, this unprecedented major move in the history of the Freeman family will be officially completed.

At night, the convoy stopped in an unknown small fishing village. After dinner, Xie Ona did not chat with Gordon as usual. According to her, she has been having strange dreams at night lately, and it seems that someone is teaching her swordsmanship. But the information was so vague and fragmented that every morning when she woke up, she forgot about it. In order to solve the confusion in her dreams, she spends more and more time practicing swordsmanship every day.

And the little sisters Eli and Elaine also went to bed early because of the fatigue of the journey. They need to get enough sleep when they are growing up.

When he suddenly became alone, Douro came to the door.

"My lord, it's really rare, there are no women by your side." After a few days of recuperation, Douro quipped.

"Actually, you can continue to call me partner."

Duro hurriedly waved his hand: "This is not good. We have different identities now, and even if you don't mind, I have to take care of etiquette. You are now a great nobleman with a fiefdom close to a province, and you must have the majesty you deserve in order to dominate your subordinates. ”

"You're right, then I won't force it." Gordon shrugged.

"I'm about to arrive in Cloud Scale City, I want to ask, Lord Lord, have you thought of a way to open up this remote and barren land?" Douro asked, "I have made up my mind to drag my family and follow you because I believe that following Gordon. Freeman, there must be a lot of money to be made. ”

Gordon has been thinking about this for a long time, but he doesn't have a systematic plan yet.

"If you still want to do your old job and make money by selling Xiongfeng rings and hair removal agents, I'm afraid it's not realistic."

Douro sighed: "Yes, the Haiwen Peninsula is so remote, where is there any upper class to buy our things. Even the business I used to run can't do here. ”

In addition to the aristocracy and wealthy merchant class who buy hair removal potions and heroic rings, Douro's shop in Clear Water City is another major consumer group. However, the remote location of the Haiwen Peninsula and the absence of ruins, labyrinths, dungeons and other places that can attract adventurers, it is impossible for adventurers to visit them.

As the two men strolled on the beach, Gordon looked out at the dark sea and said, "Your business is going to get off unless we can build a fleet." (To be continued......)
