The feast lasted until the end of the morning, and Alan rode in a carriage, led by two knights of Oban, and led his men to a block not far from the castle. Stop in front of a small three-story building at the end of the street, which is the private property of Oban and is usually used to entertain important guests. Now that no one uses the small building, he gave Alan Quan as a place to stay in Ark Harbor these days.

Xiaolou had original guards, but they were only three or five idle soldiers. After Allen arrived, the work of the guards was taken over by the inchfire, and the inchfire warriors quickly occupied several commanding heights in the small building, and the efficient movements made the two knights of Oban secretly stunned. At the moment, I respect Allen again, Xiaolou is low-key on the outside and elegant on the inside. The building is a wood and stone structure, and the hall on the first floor has a fireplace, candlestick, wall lamp, famous paintings, and statues for decoration. In particular, the floor in front of the fireplace was covered with a carpet of shiny fur, which those who knew could tell that it was taken from the fur of the polar grizzly bear, and that it was the lower belly. This carpet alone is worth a thousand dollars.

As for other famous paintings and carvings, they are also very valuable.

On the second floor is the bedroom, which is spacious, comfortable and has an attached bathroom, which is extremely luxurious. On the third floor is the study and terrace, which are also elegantly decorated, among which the study contains the famous books of the empire, and the book atmosphere is strong, which is a good place for self-cultivation.

It's a pity that Alan is tired and tired, so after a hasty visit, he plunged into the bathroom on the second floor, took a bath and fell asleep early. As for Lucy and the others, they were naturally assigned another room, so I won't go into details.

Also returning to his home in Ark Harbor late at night, the mansion where Glaal lived was obviously much more atmospheric than Allen's small building. Getting out of the carriage, Gral's face was gloomy, and for no other reason than to see Alan and Orban coming out of the side room of the hall together. Even he had never entered that room, but a baron who had been in Orban for only a few months had already entered and exited it.

The meaning of this is all too clear to Gral. Also getting off the bus after Grahr was Abel, who was very optimistic about this nephew and had high hopes. Abel did not disappoint the family, at least at his age, it was not easy to break into the inner circle of power of the earl. Abel had been proud of his achievements before, but tonight, the young man's confidence was relentlessly hit.

Alan is younger than him, but he has gone farther, and he has been favored by Jora, which throws Abel's faith to the ground and tramples on it mercilessly. Abel drank a lot tonight, and if he hadn't been dragged back by Grar, he might have drunk even more, and ended up making himself ugly at the party.

First there was a Marcus, and now there is Abel. The two promising young men of the family became dispensable embellishments and even jokes under the light of Allen, which made Glaal very angry. Especially Maku, who was Gral's unsightly illegitimate son. To this day, his brother-in-law still wears a green hat and has no idea, and originally Glar wanted to train Marku to be a good knight, but since that night he kowtowed all over Allen, Marku has been depressed.

didn't think about how long it was, Abel was troubled and entangled in Allen's relationship, and Graal already hated Allen. He patted Abel on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Uncle will help you and take Miss Jora's heart back." But you also have to fight for yourself, drink to relieve boredom for this little thing, and how to deal with yourself when you encounter a big event in the future? ”

Abela had vomited once before, but now he's quite sober. Wen Yan nodded and said, "I'll work hard, uncle." But no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to that Ellen. ”

"You haven't tried to know how, but it's just a baron. Rest assured, you have a chance. But for now, give me a shower and go to bed. ”

Abel nodded, and Glaal sighed. When he walked into the hall of the mansion, a manservant greeted him and whispered, "My lord, you have a guest to visit, and I have been waiting for you all night." ”

"Guests? What guests? ”

The valet handed Graal a name post, which was gilded with a unicorn pattern. Graar's hand trembled slightly, only to feel that the name card was like a flame, and his hand was burning for a while. He took a deep breath, tucked the badge into his pocket, and strode inside. Twenty-four candles were lit in the hall, illuminating the things in the hall. In the light of the lamp, a man sat precariously and calmly, as if he had not been impatient because he had waited all night for Gral.

"Should I call the guards over now, after all, if it is known that Viscount Daniel's representative is in my mansion, I will not be able to tell in front of Count Orban." Graal looked at the other party and said coldly.

The man raised his head, a flat smile appeared on a square face, and the restrained gaze that had been precipitated over the years fell on Glaar's body and said indifferently: "Viscount Glaal is a smart man, and smart people don't push wealth out, don't they?" ”

He also simply picked up a suitcase and opened it on his lap. Immediately, there was a layer of blood light wafting in the hall, and this faint layer of blood light came from the bright red spar that was neatly arranged in the box. The man picked up one of the hedron and spread it in his palm, and the hedron in his palm was processed into a regular rectangle, as if blood was rolling inside.

Glaal only felt his throat dry, and said in a lost voice: "Boiling Blood Demon Crystal? ”

"To be precise, there are a hundred Boiling Blood Crystals here. And after that, there will be nine more boxes like this. Viscount Glaral, this is just a greeting from Lord Daniel. The man smiled, paused, and then said, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Charlie, and I would like to pay you twelve points of respect on behalf of Lord Daniel." ”

Grar's head spun rapidly.

The market price of the Boiling Blood Magic Crystals is around a thousand gold coins each, and the magic crystals in this box are of bright color, which is obviously a high-end product, so the market price will increase by another two percent. Each piece of 1,200 gold coins is worth 120,000 yuan. There are nine more chests like this, so the total is millions of gold coins. Even with Grar's wealth, a million gold coins is still not a small amount.

He licked his lips, and finally a smile changed to a smile on his face: "I wonder what Master Daniel has to say?" ”

Charlie put down the box, crossed his hands on his lap, and sat in an upright and impeccable position. He said with a smile on his face, "Lord Daniel would like to ask Your Excellency a small favor. In fact, it is very simple, as Lord Glar, it should be just a few words. ”

A few words of hard work earned millions of gold coins, Gral is greedy, but not stupid. He frowned and said, "Please elaborate." ”

"That's right, as you can see. In the war between our two sides, Lord Daniel admits that he has fallen behind. It is believed that soon, the Count of Orban will propose to Lord Daniel a proposal for negotiation. ”

This is a normal procedure, and unless Daniel intends to fight to the death, he will not refuse the negotiations offered by Orban. At the negotiating table. It will be another battlefield, and Daniel may lose something from it, but it will always be better than losing more than in the battlefield.

"However, Lord Daniel has some plans of his own, so I would like to ask Your Excellency to say something, and ask Count Orban to postpone the date of the negotiations."

"How many exactly?"

"Preferably, it can drag on for a month."

"A month?" Graar stood up and said in a deep voice, "What plan does Lord Daniel want to make this month, such as retaking the lost territory?" ”

Charlie laughed and said, "Your Excellency has been overly concerned. I've just heard that Count Oban intends to let you and the Deep Sea Scaly settle in Bauhinia. Bauhinia is adjacent to our territory, and if you make any moves, you will definitely not be able to hide it. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the adults have plans to regain the lost territory, no matter how bad the deep sea scale is, it will be able to block it for a day or two, right? When the time comes, Sir Allen, who is adjacent to you, will only need to send a single shot, and Lord Daniel will not be able to do anything if he has a lot of clever plans. You see, what is there to worry about Your Excellency? ”

"Your Excellency has a plan, but you just want to be prepared to minimize the loss of negotiations, please don't worry about it." Charlie hinted again: "If this is done, in the future, are you afraid that there will be no chance of cooperation?" Lord Daniel has heard that Your Excellency is not reused by the Earl of Auban, and I am sorry for you. ”

This point said that Glaal was in pain, and he snorted at the moment: "You have to care about it." ”

"And what do you think about it?"

Graal walked around the hall a few times, nodded and said, "I do my best, but whether it works out or not, these magic crystals ......"

"Yours, of course. Tomorrow, there will be a few more boxes of magic crystals delivered to you, please rest assured. ”

This matter is settled, Charlie smiled faintly and got up to leave. Leave the mansion and turn into a remote alley. Charlie walked a few steps, and a man in a cloak came to him, and when the two passed by, Charlie said lightly and quickly, "Sue Sù, Glaal agreed." ”

The man did not speak, as if he had never heard what Charles had said, and went straight away. After Charlie also disappeared into the alley, a figure flashed at the entrance of the alley, walked into the mansion again, and finally saw Glaar, and whispered, "My lord, he is gone." ”

"Very well, this matter is not allowed to leak out. Otherwise......" Graal made a throat-slitting gesture.

In the middle of the night, suddenly a flock of night birds rushed up from a corner of the city, and the flock of birds dispersed, but only one flapped its wings away. The next morning, the bird landed in the Unicorn Castle on Lake Portteli, and the old butler removed a thin wooden pipe from the bird's claws. Open it and pour a rolled slip of paper from it.

Moments later, the note was delivered to Daniel's desk. After having breakfast at Daniel, he came to the study and saw the note.

On the slip of paper is a line of small letters with the words "一qiē顺lì" written on it. Daniel smiled faintly, reached out and clenched it, and when he released it again, the note had turned into a few pieces of powder and fell down. He looked out the window at the lake, where his figure was reflected in the glass.

The Black Iron Castle has already made some moves, and Hagus has secretly set off with twenty Black Cloud Knights, and it is expected that in another week, they will arrive at Ark Harbor and then turn to Daniel's territory. When they arrived, it was time to deal with Allen. Daniel wants to drag out the negotiations for a month, just to calmly arrange, in order to cut off Allen's fierce rival in one fell swoop. As soon as Eren is gone, Oban will be like a toothless tiger, and Daniel will be able to regain his lost ground.

A mere Abyssal Scaly hadn't been taken into his sights yet, and the only ones who really made him feel threatened were Eren and his army. As for Oban, Daniel sneered, it was just a papier-mâché tiger. It's okay to be scared, and when it comes to a real fight, Oban can only surrender.

Daniel knows his weaknesses all too well.

Alan was woken up by a rain-like knock on the door, he sat up in the morning light, yawned, scratched at his slightly messy hair, and said, "Who?" ”

The door was pushed open, and Lucy stood outside, smiling eerily, "You've got a visitor." ”

"So early?" Alan frowned, jumped out of bed and asked, "Who is it?" ”

But he couldn't hear Lucy's answer, turned around, and the girl outside the door was nowhere to be seen. Alan shrugged, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and walked downstairs. Breakfast had been prepared for him in the small dining room downstairs, and when Alan came downstairs, he smelled the aroma of vanilla bacon. His index finger fluttered, but he remembered that there were still visitors, so he swallowed and turned to the hall.

There was a man sitting on the couch in the hall, with his back to Allen, and he couldn't see his face clearly. However, the other party was dressed in men's clothes and wore a gentleman's high hat, so he was a man. Unexpectedly, Alan turned to the front, but saw Jora's beautiful face, so he shook his head and smiled: "It turns out that you also have a hobby of dressing up as a man." ”

Jora took off her hat, and she even wore two pieces of mustache under her nose. Wen Yan smiled and asked, "Could it be your lover?" ”

"No, just a friend." Alan patted his stomach and said, "I don't know if Miss Ruola has had breakfast, if not, you might as well join us." Honestly, I'm starving to death right now. ”

"Well, I really didn't eat breakfast in the morning to sneak out." She's not polite at all.

So the two sat down at a long table in the dining room, on which there was a lot of food. The main course is pastrami with herbs, and the side dish is a thick soup, fresh salad, cheese and two thin slices of bread. Jola sat down and said, "The chefs here are very good, they make things that look simple, but the food tastes layered." Much better than the chef at White Castle. ”

She first scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it into her mouth, then a mouthful of fresh salad. Finally, he skillfully cut a small piece of beef with a knife, and then put it into his mouth with a fork, chewing it slowly for a while. The movement was so elegant, with the smell of flowing water. Alan shook his head and praised: "If you have a good level of eating, Ruola you must be the highest level." ”

Jora smiled when she heard this, put down her knife and fork and said, "So, let's talk about that big business." ”

Alan put a piece of beef into his mouth: "I'm listening. ”R1058
