A man parted the crowd and angrily walked up to Alan. Even in the midst of his anger, Viscount Glaar, who wore eyeliner and was dressed exaggeratedly and gorgeously, did not look imposing, but rather a little ridiculous. He yelled at Allen, "Let go of your hands, damn it, what do you want to do to my nephew!" ”

"Uncle, save me!" Marku shouted.

Alan said with a smile: "It turns out that this brave knight is the nephew of Lord Viscount, so in that case, this knight's rude behavior was instigated by Lord Viscount?" ”

Viscount Glaar's face froze, and then he roared: "How is that possible? This is slander, this is absolutely slander! ”

"Baron Allen, I'm warning you now, if you don't let go of Marku, I'm going to be rude to you!"

"You're welcome about that?" As if he hadn't heard him, Alan's hand pressed down, and Marku's face immediately turned pale.

Glaal looked heartbroken, if his eyes could kill people, probably Alan had been torn to pieces by now by him. Alan saw it in his eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't you think that a knight who offends a baron should not be punished?" ”

"Are you lecturing me?" Glaal sneered: "So a baron who offended the viscount, should he also be punished?" ”

"Of course." Alan nodded solemnly.

Gral was stunned for a moment, and Alan continued, "If you have that ability." ”

"This ...... What does that mean! ”

"No offense, but the truth is, you can't sanction me at all." Alan said in a cold voice.

"Arrogance! This is really arrogant! Graar's eyes widened, and the corners of his eyes were covered with red lines, and he said angrily: "Who gave you the power to dare to be so presumptuous in front of a viscount!" ”

"There is no one, all I rely on is my own strength." Alan said lightly: "With my strength, soon, I will be promoted to viscount." And you, for the rest of your life, can probably only stay in this position. However, I will keep going, so you better be careful with what you say and do. At the same time, take care of the people around you. If they bark like wild dogs, I don't mind using my own methods to silence them! ”

With a flick of his hand, he tossed Marku back to Glaar, and Alan gestured, and Belmode followed him away. After taking a few steps, Alan turned around and said with a bright smile: "By the way, on the road I am going to walk, you can't even be called an obstacle, honorable Lord Viscount, so it's better not to do something that makes me misunderstand." ”

"This is my personal advice."

Graar's face was blue and white. Finally, he stomped his foot hard and pulled Marku out of the venue.

This qiē made Oban look at it.

"What an arrogant little guy." Oban said with a smile, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and he said, "But on our side, there is just a shortage of such people." Let him kill Grar and their arrogance, so that these fools really think that the money can be settled. ”

Behind the earl, an oriental man dressed in black said in a deep voice: "But in him, I also see ambition. Such a person will not bend his knee forever. ”

"I know, it depends on whether my pool is big enough. Don't worry, Mr. Long. If you can't control him, it's not too late to figure out a way when the time comes. Now, I'm going to have to rely on him to deal with Daniel. ”

The Count suddenly saw something, raised his glass and nodded, and walked over. The man known as the dragon looked at him silently and whispered, "I'm afraid that by then, you will have nothing to do with him." ”

Glancing in the direction of Alan in the room, the dragon turned away, silently blending into the crowd like a ghost.

Alan seemed to feel something, and glanced at where the dragon was before, but the man had already left. At this time, Roger said: "I heard that Marku is the son of Graar. ”

Belmode next to him said unexpectedly: "Wait, isn't that rice bucket Grar's nephew?" If he were the son of the viscount, wouldn't he say......"

Roger shrugged his shoulders and said, "The life of the aristocracy has always been rotten, what's so surprising about this. Grar, in particular, doesn't seem to know what morality is. But then again, it's rare to see Lord Allen so ...... Arrogant, hey. ”

Alan smiled faintly: "We are new to the city, and we have been promoted by the earl, so it is natural that we will become a thorn in the side of others. If we don't show toughness at this time, it will only make people think that we are easy to bully. It just so happened that Marku gave me the opportunity to play on the topic, of course I have to make good use of it, so that those guys who have ideas in their hearts can weigh their own weight before making plans. ”

"There's still trouble, but it's going to be a lot less, isn't it?"

"So what's next for Lord Allen?" Roger frowned and said, "Although the Earl has promised, if you repel Duruff, you will assign those three villages to you." But this territory is too small, it can't even be called a barony. ”

"Three small villages, one thin piece of land, of course not a good thing. But I don't want this small territory, I want the title of the rights that this territory gives me, and that's enough. Alan raised his glass, and after the three of them clinked glasses and drank, he continued: "Now that I have this territory, no matter how small it is, nominally I am one of the dependents of Count Oban. In this way, there is a name to be called upon for Viscount Daniel. The towns I have captured are my true territory! ”

Roger had a pensive expression, according to the rules of the game among the nobles. When a nobleman like Allen, who is attached to Count Oban, conquers a new territory. The realm will nominally/will belong to Earl Oban, while Alan will have the de facto authority to administer it, paying only the annual fee to Earl Oban. And once Allen's power swells, and Count Oban can't control him, then Allen can choose to break.

Usually at that time, it will be accompanied by a series of heavy actions such as title promotion, territory expansion, and army expansion. And in these moves, Roger sees a plethora of opportunities. It's always good for every businessman to work with big shots. Because their world is bigger, it means more opportunities for business. There is a difference between the big people, those who sit in a high position, but have been unable to move forward, business transactions will be more stable, but it also means that profits are also stable. As for someone like Allen, who is constantly pushing into higher levels of power, working with him is a risky investment.

That requires the businessman to judge with his own experience and vision, and at least so far, Roger has trusted his own vision.

The banquet ended late in the evening, and Alan received many invitations, most of them from the salon faction of some noble ladies, and a small number of invitations to the party of the Earl's dependents, who were considered to be Allen's colleagues. Alan can turn down the aristocratic ladies' offers, but he can't ignore the invitations of his colleagues. Otherwise, it would not only be arrogant, but also rude.

After simply setting a time for the party, Alan and Roger left together. For the reason that he had just offended Viscount Grar, Alan asked Belmode to send Roger back, saving Viscount Graar from being angry with him as a collaborator. As for Alan himself, after politely refusing the carriage from the Earl's side, he walked back to the Earl's lodgings in the city.

For Alan, it was a rare opportunity to be alone. Walking in the Ark Harbor at night, looking at the little lights that have not been extinguished, Alan can fully feel the vitality of the city. This was the first time he had taken a serious look at the city since he arrived at Ark Harbor.

Ark Harbor has improved a lot compared to the cities in the Frontier Lands, although there are no cars on the streets. However, lighting in public places, the families of aristocratic and wealthy merchants, have already used electricity. On the outskirts of Ark Harbor, Alan could see a power station in the distance, powered by a steam engine and a hydroelectric engine.

With electricity, the efficiency of the Ark Port in terms of production is naturally not comparable to that of the cities in the border area, which is also the basis for the prosperity of the city. However, it can be seen that the use of energy in the Bailegang Empire is not necessarily so lagging behind, and the Ark Harbor is still like this, so the imperial capital in the northern Xinjiang, the city that is the heart of the empire, should be more developed.

As he learns about the planet, Eren has gradually gained his initial contempt. It is possible that the civilization of this planet has not yet reached the height of the earth, but if you take it too lightly, you may hate it.

All he saw now was a Balgaon Empire. But this planet is so vast, who knows what else is beyond the empire?

Looking up at the night sky, Alan couldn't help but think about the couplet. At this moment, his heart moved slightly, it was the feeling of being watched. Alan remained silent, still maintaining his original speed, and turned into a remote alley. There is only one street lamp in the alley, and the light obviously cannot illuminate the entire alley. Alan walked under the street lamp, suddenly froze, and then said, "Come out." ”

A breeze blew in the alley, and he turned around to see a figure standing at the mouth of the alley. It should be a man, tall, exuding an invisible pressure. By the light, Alan could barely see that he was covered with a cloak, but the exposed part of the cloak had light blue skin.

Apparently not human, but xenogeneous. Alan frowned, so far, the only xenos he has seen in the empire are the Naga tribe on the sea of Santa Trina. The xenomorph in front of him was naturally not those bewitching and beautiful fishmen, this guy appeared in the Ark Harbor, and obviously came at him, which made Alan feel very strange.

"Found you, my dear 'brother'. It's going to be an interesting meeting. ”

The man in the cloak said, but he spoke neither the language of the earth nor the common language of the planet. It was another language that Alan was completely unfamiliar with, and although he didn't understand it, he could read the unkind flavor of the words. R1058
