147. Drinking Horse Fengshen Lake
Asuna's body revealed a frosty killing intent that was almost condensed into substance, and the temperature in the living room seemed to be dropping - maybe it was just a psychological effect, but Sean really shivered, and goosebumps appeared on his body.
After a long time, Asuna raised her head and examined Sean, her gaze like a knife, as if she wanted to see Sean through completely. It's just that Asuna's aura is extremely strong, but Sean is also a person who is used to seeing big scenes after all, so even if the momentum is suppressed because of the difference in strength between the two sides, Sean is still fearless and looks at Asuna, and the corners of his mouth are even slightly hooked.
"Lord Marquis, I believe that we will not become enemies between us." Sean thought about it, but still felt that he was the first to strike, after all, he was not the one who sat still.
"It doesn't matter if it's an enemy." Asuna glanced at Sean and said in a flat voice, "Does Mr. Sean think you can stop my sword?" ”
"It really can't be stopped." Sean readily admits the gap between himself and Asuna.
Even if he used all his abilities such as spell marks, adrenal glands, and light body techniques, at most, he would only be able to escape Asuna's first sword, and once she was prepared, how could he be Asuna's opponent? What's more, in this city lord's mansion, there are three magicians whose strength is not inferior to Asuna's at all, if you know that if these four join forces, it is a terrifying combination that even the upper gold can only choose to retreat.
"It's just that Lord Asuna, you should also be able to see that I don't have any ill intentions at all." Sean whispered, his gaze falling on the note.
It was a very common note, it looked like a sticky note torn from a hotel or something, and Asuna's fingers touched it, and she could still feel the slightly greasy strange feeling on the note. But what was written on this note was so important to Asuna that she couldn't take her fingers off at all.
It seems that only by holding it down with your hand can you completely suppress the content written on it.
Asuna's gaze was fixed on Sean. Start looking again. But in Sean's body, she didn't see any fear, but had an extremely confident temperament.
It's self-confidence, not conceit.
Asuna has seen a lot of aristocratic children, and if they have a little talent or talent, they can't wait to reveal it, and they are afraid that no one in this world will appreciate it. And once a victory is achieved, even if it is only a small victory or a pyrrhic victory. They can also be as proud as a rooster, thinking that they are the best in the world, but never thinking about how to make the next victory even more brilliant.
It's really conceited to the extreme.
Sean, in Asuna's eyes, is undoubtedly a nobleman. A nobleman from the Cinnas Empire, although she didn't know why the nobleman's son came to the Duchy of Lane, she didn't know how the other party thought about herself. But Asuna knows that she must not underestimate any noble child who came out of this Eastern Empire to train - Asuna has regarded Sean as a wealthy nobleman of that ancient empire.
Asuna exhaled softly, and the pent-up atmosphere in the living room was a little lighter. Her fingers finally moved away from the note, and the whole person leaned back, and her sitting posture was no longer as serious as before, but a little more relaxed, so that the perfect curve of her body was completely exposed. And then her gaze. Glanced at the note again, then threw it at Sean.
A small note sat alone on the round table. Only five words were written.
Drink horse wind god lake.
"Mr. Sean, please be seated." Asuna's attitude at this moment finally revealed all the bearing that belonged to the wealthy nobles.
Sean unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat down generously, across from Asuna. He didn't have the slightest twist, everything seemed so natural, and he also had the kind of confidence that Asuna appreciated - of course, in terms of etiquette, Sean's actions were not picky, which made Asuna even more determined in her judgment of Sean's identity and origin.
"I believe there are many opportunities for me and Miss Asuna to work together." Sean smiled slightly, and then began to speak.
From Lord Marquis to Lord Asuna, and now Miss Asuna, Sean is testing Asuna's reaction and attitude step by step. This is the most common negotiation technique used in the communication between nobles, which Sean learned from Cecilia, in fact, if he could, Sean would prefer to have Cecilia come and talk to Asuna, but sometimes there are some things, but he has to do it himself.
Asuna's name for Sean changed again and again, and became more and more intimate, and she did not say anything against it, which means that she has initially recognized Sean.
Of course, what is written on the note is only one sentence, but in order to make this sentence a reality, it is natural that more detailed policies and plans are needed. It's just that Asuna, the Marquis of Strength, seems to be a little different from ordinary people in her way of thinking about things, or this is actually an aspect of her extreme confidence, so when she spoke again, the first sentence swallowed all the words that Sean was ready to swallow back into her stomach.
"How long will it take me to get this excuse." Asuna spoke very simply, without the slightest hint of mud and water, and even lacked the slightest hint of asking Sean what the specific plan steps were.
Sean was slightly stunned, the current situation was a little different from what Neil expected. Asuna, the Marquis, is completely different from ordinary nobles, most nobles will definitely ask the entire plan process in great detail and seriously in order to show their intelligence, and even make some tinkering with it, and Sean in order to be able to be reasonable when Asuna asks questions, after leaving Neil, he has been thinking about the text description of the entire plan, trying to be as concise as possible.
But she didn't expect that Asuna didn't even have the mood to ask about the process and preparation of the plan, and directly cut to the point.
In a word, Sean's rhythm was completely disrupted.
Since he had never been in contact with Asuna before, he didn't know if the marquisess's temperament was so straightforward or if there had been a change in this world.
"It will take at least about two years." But for the question raised by the Marquis Asuna, Sean didn't dare not answer, he thought about it for a while, filtered the plan in his mind, and then replied, "Miss Asuna, you can take this opportunity to train the troops well, especially the supply and rectification of the logistics line, this time you must plan well to avoid the accident of the last battle." ”
Asuna glanced at Sean meaningfully, but didn't say anything.
Back then, she sent troops to the kingdom of Dabiang, although it seems that the final result was that she knocked out the two veterans of the kingdom of Dabiang, forcing the kingdom of Dabiang to surrender. However, in fact, the Principality of Lane was forced by the Empire of the Millennium Covenant Empire, and there were also logistical supply problems, so the Principality of Lane and the Kingdom of Darbian finally reached an armistice agreement with the Kingdom of Darbiang within one day.
But this is an extremely confidential matter, except for Asuna and his father, as well as several high-ranking officials of the Principality of Lane and the Kingdom of Dabion, no one should know the truth behind this armistice.
Later, Asuna built this fortress, not because she was afraid of the kingdom of Dabion, but to prevent attacks from the wild lands.
Although these tribes seem to be loose, they are actually the possibility of union, and in the past, there was still the kingdom of Dabiang in front of them, but when Asuna included the entire Anglodar Mountains into her territory, the kingdom of Dabiang simply gave up a territory that connected to the wild land. In this way, the tribes of the Wild Lands had an additional route to choose from—through the territory now nominally owned by Asuna, they could cross the Anglodar Mountains and drive all the way into the heart of the Duchy of Lane.
I have to say that the plans of the Dabiang Kingdom are indeed very poisonous, but they also underestimate Asuna's madness and ruthlessness.
The fortress of Tonys, which was built within a year, completely shattered the conspiracy of the kingdom of Dabiang.
However, in this way, it naturally intensified Asuna's anger towards the Dabiang Kingdom, she really wanted to be able to drink the Horse Fengshen Lake - the largest inland lake in the Dabiang Kingdom, and the royal capital of the Dabiang Kingdom was built next to the lake, and the weather was magnificent!
"So, what do you want from me?" Asuna asked.
"A pioneer knight and a knighthood." Sean thought for a moment and decided to follow what Neil said and directly say what he needed, "And, of course, a jazz collar." …… That's all I need. ”
"You want to be a lord?" Asuna reacted immediately at the moment, "The nobility circle of the Principality of Ryan is now very stable, how many people have sharpened their heads and squeezed up desperately, but they can only stop at the existing noble titles. Even if I give you this, it will be difficult for you to actually enter the nobility of this principality, let alone obtain a hereditary title of nobility. ”
"I know that very well." Sean nodded, "But I'm sure you won't think that way when Miss Asuna actually drinks the Horse Wind God Lake." ”
Sean accentuated the word "you".
After a moment of silence, Asuna suddenly got up and clapped her hands, and Elizabeth quickly opened the door and entered.
"Go get the map of Tonys."
"No need." Sean stood up and shook his head, much to the confusion of both Elizabeth and Asuna.
In fact, he had already thought about the territory that Sean wanted, because whether he looked at the map of Tonys's territory or not, there was actually no difference at all.
"I want that territory that connects to the Savage Lands and the Black Swan Castle on the high mountain next to it." (To be continued.) )
