The Boulder family is also a relatively famous family in the Dabiang Kingdom.

The Boulder family, which started as businessmen, are best known for their political investments. This family has a very keen political tendency, no matter what major events happen in the kingdom, this family can get great benefits from it, even when Dabion died, this family only gave up all the territories of a few inconsequential side branches, but its own strength has not weakened, and even in the strength of the Duchy of Lane, there are four more powerful marquis surnamed Boulder.

And the guy in front of you who seems to be similar to himself is actually a member of the Boulder family?

When did the Boulder family become knights instead of political investors?

But soon, Sean realized something again, and suddenly said, "This is Baron Mordeg?" ”

"Yes." Before Cassius could reply, the young man had already nodded sadly, "I'm Baron Mordeg, Elsie. Boulder. …… I'm sorry to let you happen to this, it's all my fault. Anyway, please give me a chance to make amends. ”

"Well, it's not your fault alone." Sean's facial muscles twitched a few times, he really had never seen a lord, or a nobleman would be so modest, in his impression, people who can own a territory, even if they are not considered nobles, are basically similar to peacocks in the open screen, not to mention that the baron can already be officially counted into the aristocratic class - although it is only the lowest level.

"Uncle Hand, he wasn't like this before." Elsie, the young baron, sighed softly, "Maybe there's some reason. ”

For such a topic, Sean certainly can't interject.

"Uncle Cassius, do you know who else is in Uncle Hand's family?" The young Baron Elsie asked.

"I heard that there is a wife, but she was divorced many years ago, and it seems that she took her son to the Millennium Covenant Empire." Cassius thought for a moment, then replied, "If your Excellency needs it." I can go and investigate right away. ”

"Let's go investigate." Baron Elsie spoke.

"Yes." Cassius nodded. But then he said, "But my lord, if I leave your side......"

"It's fine." Baron Elsie smiled, "I'll be back at the manor soon, and with this Lord Sean with me, safety should be guaranteed." ”

"Ah, no. I just ......"

Before Sean's words were finished, Cassius had already walked up, held Sean with a sincere face, and said, "Your Excellency Sean, Lord Lord, please ask you!" Be sure to protect him! ”

"No, I mean ......"

Cassius is like him. Silent and capable. As soon as he finished saying this, he flipped his hand and turned over his horse, and with a shake of the reins, he ran in the direction that he was chased by the Earth Xinglong just now, and he didn't know where Lu Dao was going, leaving only Sean and Elsie here with big eyes, not knowing what to say at all.

After a few moments, it was Elsie who spoke, "Lord Sean, I'm going to trouble you next. ”

Let's talk about it. Elsie has also turned on his horse. His movements are indeed extremely fluent, which also shows that his riding skills are indeed more superb than Sean's. After getting on the horse. Elsie had already ridden away, and when he turned around, he realized that Sean was still in place, so he beckoned again: "Your Excellency Sean, what are you still doing in a daze?" Blackstone is just ahead, and we're going to get there before dark. ”

Looking at Elsie's familiar appearance, and Cassius's solemn look just now, as if he was entrusting the aftermath, Sean was simply devastated. He just came to Blackstone Town to buy some black steel stone and go back to build a castle, and by the way, he went to play a few low-level dungeons to mix up some experience points, how could it be that he was going to protect this baron in the blink of an eye?

And judging by the appearance, this thing seems to be a little dangerous.

Wait, the development of the plot shouldn't be like this! - Sean's heart is roaring wildly, like thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past.

But in the end, Sean and Elsie hit the road to Blackstone together.

Of course, along the way, Sean maintained his dissatisfaction with Elsie's familiar personality with a certain silence.

At most, when Elsie says something that makes him want to complain, Sean will let out a snort or sneer. However, as Elsie began to talk about the situation in his territory, Sean finally couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for him - he had always thought that the situation in his territory was very bad, and it was only now that he finally realized that he was lucky.

"Thank the gods for letting me meet Elsie." Sean's heart was so silent.

In fact, Sean was very suspicious of Elsie. Boulder, the young baron, had offended anyone in the family. Because he was a baron, the land he inherited was not a standard-sized barony, but a territory that was only slightly larger than the average knight's lordship - a small town, a small village, and a mini-manor.

Under normal circumstances, if a baron inherits a relatively small territory, there must be some abundant materials in the territory to make up for it. In reality, however, not only was the Mordeg Territory very small, but the land was also relatively barren.

With the exception of a limited number of places, the vast majority of land is not suitable for growing crops. And this limited area is all concentrated in the mini-manor where Elsie lives - the entire manor covers an area of less than ten acres, and most of the manor is planted with various fruit trees. The building that is the main building is not even a stone building, but a four-story wooden building. According to aristocratic rules, no other house in the manor could be taller than the main building, so the fragments scattered among the other three-story houses in the manor occupied the few remaining areas of the manor.

And such a manor can only live in twenty or thirty people at most.

As for the other small village, it was really small, there were less than twenty families in the whole village, and there were only sixty or seventy people in total—larger than the manor house where the nobleman of Elsie lived. And because the village is so poor, Elsie is completely exempt from all taxes in the village, and if it weren't for the fact that there is a bustling town of Blackstone to support his domain income, Elsie would probably be the first nobleman in the Boulder family to go bankrupt due to poor management, right?

However, the town of Blackstone is prosperous, and that is also because the entire town relies on the trade of Blacksteel Stone to earn business, but most of the income is used to buy food to maintain the food rations of the townspeople throughout the town.

And the most outrageous thing is that the stone factory that can produce black steel stone is actually not a product of Elsie's name!

"The owner of the stone factory is a great beauty?" Sean finally couldn't help but complain instead of snorting or sneering.

"No, it's a middle-aged man." "He's skinny like a monkey, and I've always thought he must be malnourished. ”

"That middle-aged man is your lover?" This kind of thing is not surprising, and many nobles like this mouthful.

"How is that possible!" Elsie looked shocked, "The person I like is the youngest daughter of Duke Ceteros, and I'm about to ......"

Sean didn't have to listen to what Elsie said later. Because if he remembered correctly, the Duke of the Kingdom of Dabiang, who advocated peace with Asuna, would die at the hands of his political enemies in another year, because he didn't know exactly what was going on, but the only thing he knew was that after the death of the duke, all the children of his family were reduced to slaves, and all the property was divided.

"So what tricks did you have to get controlled by the factory director?" Sean couldn't help but finally interrupt Elsie's words.

"Not either."

"So don't you have a big hole in your head?" Sean finally couldn't bear it anymore, "This stone mill is not yours, why should you pay for it?" ”

The Black Reef Grassland originally belonged to the territory of Viscount Shaof, and later after Viscount Saof's death, this territory is now Asuna's, so the right to mine the territory is naturally on Asuna's body. If Blackstone wants to continue mining the Black Reef boulder to make Black Steel, it must pay Asuna a mining fee to obtain the mining rights, otherwise Asuna has the right to send troops to expel or even kill on the spot.

It's just that what Sean didn't expect was that the mining rights and fee payments were actually paid for by Elsie, a fool.

If the stone factory belongs to Elsie, then it is another matter, but this stone factory does not belong to Elsie, so why should he pay for this stone factory? Sean's only thought was that there must be some ulterior secret between the two, but Elsie denied it, so Sean could only say that Elsie was definitely an idiot.

How could any nobleman run his territory like this?

"But this stone mill is the property of the Boulder family." Elsie frowned, then spoke, "Isn't it normal for me to pay for my family business?" ”

"So do you have a stake in this family business?"

"Shares? What is that? ”

"Meaning, do you have any dividends?" Sean really couldn't stand it anymore, "Every order transaction in this stone factory, have you ever received a share of the gold coins?" ”

"Like...... There is no ......" Elsie thought for a moment before he spoke, "The factory director said that business has been really bad recently, and no one has come to place orders......

"Bad business?" Sean sneered, "Did you learn chivalry and learn all your brains?" ”

"Hey! I'm going to be angry when you say that! ”

The two of them rushed to Blackstone Town while making noise, and finally arrived at the town gate of Blackstone Town in the evening. (To be continued.) )
