184. Talking about Feelings and Hurting Money [1st Update]
Sean is actually a very good guy.
Of course, this is easy to do, and it refers to the equality of attitude. He's the typical kind of guy you respect him and he respects you, but if you're going to play arrogant with him, you'll quickly understand what it means to be truly arrogant - for players, this attitude is simply innate.
And the player originally belongs to the kind of person who can take three points of land without reason, not to mention that at this moment, Sean is standing on the double heel of righteousness and aristocratic status.
This kind of arrogance and arrogance is even more like a monstrous wave.
The two members of the Wiles family glanced at each other, and they both saw a little worry in their eyes.
In fact, they did do some detailed research before this trip.
Zhilu said that this Elsie in front of him. Boulder had only been in charge of the territory for two years - the original lord of Mordeg was a viscount, but he had died at the hands of Asuna, so his domain was divided as soon as the war began. And this young lord is indeed a "deviant" guy of the Boulder family, fortunately he is from the lineage, so the current head of the Boulder family simply threw him into this place where birds don't, so that he can't be out of sight.
But I don't know where this little guy got the courage to come to the door to negotiate with Asuna, and he really got him the right to mine the Black Reef Grassland, which is still the exclusive one. Therefore, this stone factory, which belongs to the Boulder family's industry, was able to reopen smoothly, and it did make a lot of money in the past two years, after all, many nobles and wealthy mansions in the southern region were more or less built with some black steel, so if you want to repair it after the war, you can only buy black steel from here.
However, this money did not actually fall into Elsie's hands at all, but was divided between the director of the Deiss factory and one of Elsie's brothers, and even the Boulder family didn't know much about these things. The mining fee that Elsie paid to the marquis of the Duchy of Lane the following year was enough for him to scrape together after selling all his valuable thingsβincluding three oil paintings worth tens of thousands of gold coins left to him by his mother.
It would not be difficult for a large family like Wiles to obtain this information, as any family with a sufficiently old heritage would be able to obtain it. There will be an extremely terrible intelligence network. The so-called connections. It's just a part of this intelligence network, and basically everything revolves around the word "intelligence".
In this case, the Wiles family made Elsie. Boulder is an inconsequential little man of this judgment. It is also based on this judgment that after these two Wiles families came to the Modegg Territory, they did not go to the lord of Elsie, but directly came to Dyce, the director of the real power of the stone factory, and secretly negotiated some things with him.
The so-called secret. Naturally, it is something that cannot be made public.
Originally, everything was very happy, but I didn't expect to meet a guy here who didn't play cards according to reason at all.
After a moment's hesitation, the young nobleman, who was not so imposing, spoke again: "Perhaps, we can make friends." β¦β¦ I am the second in line to the Wiles family, Florentine. Dingus. Wiles. β
Hearing his companion say this, another member of the Wiles family standing beside Florence immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Talking about feelings hurts money." Sean didn't appreciate it at all.
"Hmph. You guys are so ignorant. Hearing Sean's unappreciative words, the other nobleman became angry on the spot, "How much money can you pay for the deposit?" The Wyles Family ......"
"Shut up!" Florence immediately snorted.
But it was too late, for his companion had already finished speaking: "...... Ten times the compensation for you! β
So, Sean immediately laughed: "Are you sure it's ten times?" β
"Your Excellency, please forgive my companion for his faux pas." When Florence saw Sean's smile, she immediately knew something was wrong.
To be able to become the heir to the throne of a big family, there may be some arrogant and domineering character. There may also be some minor glitches. But the eyesight is definitely not lacking, and Sean can have such a strong monstrous flame. In the absence of information at hand, hostility is not an option that any qualified family heir will make.
"So, you're kidding me?" Sean's face was pale, and he looked extremely gloomy, and the momentum on his body instantly turned into a cold and murderous intent.
"Nope." Florence frowned slightly, Sean's unreasonable play of cards really made him a little difficult to parry, and he smiled in the last second, and this moment he had the momentum of pulling out his sword and slashing people, "I mean, we may be able to change to a better solution." β
"There is no better solution to hunger. If you want me to give up these 4,000 black steel stones, you can. I'll be compensated tenfold. The deposit I gave to Lord Elsie is 50,000 Lane gold coins, so you can take care of it yourself. Sean sneered, ignoring the kind words of the second heir of the Wiles family, and showed his arrogant and domineering personality to the fullest, "If you don't have money, then get out of here as soon as possible, and don't be embarrassed here." β¦β¦ I have already paid the deposit, and if the stone is not delivered on time, the Black Swan Castle will wash away this humiliation with war. β
At this moment, not only Florence felt incredible and shocked, but the factory director named Days was even more shocked that his mouth could be stuffed with two eggs.
War!
The threat is serious.
However, Sean didn't give the other party any chance to explain at all, turned to Elsie and said, "Lord Elsie, didn't you say that you want to take me to visit your manor?" Why don't we go now? β
"Oh, yes...... Good. The stunned Elsie didn't seem to have come to his senses yet, just nodded a little mechanically, and then left with Sean.
Watching Sean and Elsie walk so neatly.
Florence's brow furrowed slightly, and only after a moment did she sigh helplessly.
"I'm sorry." Seeing Florence sigh, the Wiles family member lowered his head with some guilt.
"You don't blame you for that." Florence shook her head, "It's just that the family didn't expect that the Marquis of Tonis would actually appoint a lord to manage the Black Swan Castle at this time." β¦β¦ Of course, we didn't expect that the lord of the Black Swan Castle would be such an unreasonable guy. It's a lack of family intelligence, and it's none of your business. β
"He, he's the lord of the Black Swan Castle?"
"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Florence said softly, "The one who can casually say the threat of war, even if he is not the lord of the Black Swan Castle, is definitely the core person who holds the real power around that lord, but I prefer the former." β
"Do you want to ...... then," the nobleman whispered suddenly, making a gesture to wipe his throat.
Florence, who has always behaved very peacefully, at most, has a sense of superiority as a great nobleman, finally squinted his eyes, and the whole person looked gloomy and solemn, and the real determination and courage of being the heir to the throne were fully reflected at this moment. It's just that it is not others who make Florence show this momentum, but the member of the Wiles family next to him.
"You'd better dispel this thought for me." Florence said gloomily, "He dares to go out alone, do you really think he is so easy to deal with?" Are you 100% nirvana? If not, it's just an enemy for the Wyles family out of thin air, and it's the kind of enemy you don't know his details and strength at all. β
Seeing that Florence was really angry, the nobleman quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
"Mr. Dyce, we're going to take our leave." Florence turned around and smiled as she said goodbye to Dyce.
Dyce, who looked a little depressed, didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, but he still kept a polite farewell to Florence.
All of this seems to be quite normal.
It was only after Florentine walked out of the stone factory that the smile on her face finally disappeared, and she said in a deep voice: "It seems that we still underestimate the lord of Elsie. Since Days already knows so much, why don't we just give this lord a gift. β
"I know." The nobleman who followed Florence whispered, "But do we really need to prepare 500,000 Lane gold coins?" β
"No, I don't." Florence shook her head slightly, "We're leaving the Mordegue Territory today." β¦β¦ Don't be so reckless as to arrange for someone to be smart and only do it two days after we leave. No matter how you say it, you are also the fourth heir in line, how to do things is still so impatient, and your heart should be more mellow, not everything can only be solved by violent means. β
The young nobleman, who was qualified as the fourth in line to the throne of the Wiles family, nodded honestly and replied, "Remember your teachings, brother. β
Watching the two nobles of the Wiles family leave, Dyce, the factory director, still didn't know his upcoming fate. At this moment, he immediately turned back to his office in the stone factory, and then took out a beautifully made blank paper and a strange metal pen from under his desk, and then spread out the paper, and began to write on it, the content of which was what happened tonight, and after a little hesitation, Days still wrote down some of the private transactions with the Wiles family.
But the amazing thing is that every time Days finishes writing a sentence, the ink on the paper disappears immediately, and it looks like it will always be a blank slate.
However, any magician here will surely know that this is not some trick of invisible ink.
This beautifully made white paper and the uniquely shaped metal pen are both magic props.
This magic item comes in a set of two magic pens and two pieces of magic paper, and whoever writes anything on them will pass the recorded content to the other magic paper in a special way, so that the other party can immediately understand the contents. This method of messaging is more subtle than magical communication, but it is more expensive. (To be continued.) )
