It was almost noon before Glaar returned to the mansion from the White Castle. In the morning, Oban summoned all his vassals and consulted them on negotiations with Daniel. In the chamber, almost every jazz has their own ideas, but they can't all want to encroach on Daniel's territory as much as possible, and hope to get some advantage in it. For example, he planted his own personnel in the three territories under Allen's jurisdiction, and even tried to divide the territory of the young knight.

Throughout, Allen did not raise a single protest against it, which created an illusion for the Jazz. They intensified their efforts even more, until at the end, Alan dropped an understatement: "I won the territory, and anyone can ask for it." If you can beat it down on my hands. ”

His meaning couldn't be more obvious, if he wants to divide his territory, then fight a war first.

This sentence made the jazzes shut their mouths, and everyone knew that the armies in the chamber were not worth mentioning at all, except for Oban. So Sir began to change the topic, directly pointing out that Allen's territory also belonged to Oban, so as a follower, Alan should also obey Oban's dispatch. They figured out that Guò Oban's power bypassed Allen's obstruction and achieved the goal of encroachment.

Eventually, Oban said calmly, "I promised Sir Alan that as much as he could defeat in Daniel's territory, it would all be his. Do you want me to be a villain who doesn't keep my word? ”

With such a big hat buttoned down, the Jazz finally had nothing to do, and the agenda was able to flow into the discussion of the negotiation matters. Allen has remained silent in this regard, and even when Glaal proposed a proposal to delay the negotiation on behalf of Daniel, he did not speak out against it, as if this qiē was none of his business. Alan remained silent, and Glar couldn't have been more than happy to do so, and now tried to encourage Orban to analyze it from all sides, and finally, for his own reasons, Orban agreed to delay the negotiation day a little.

Back at the mansion, Glaal breathed a sigh of relief. Although Oban's delay lasted only a week, at least Daniel had already been accounted for. Thinking that millions of gold coins could be earned without moving his mouth, Glaal laughed dryly rather proudly.

After drinking two words of tea, one of the guards ran into the hall and said to Glaar, "My lord, Captain Regu and they are back. ”

"Coming back?" Glaar frowned, "What's the matter, they should not be back until tomorrow evening, why are they coming back now?" ”

Regu was the captain of the convoy last night, and his return now means that things are unusual. Graar immediately let him in, and when the captain of the guard, dressed as a wolf, walked into the hall, he was ashamed to look at Graar. Seeing that he was wounded, the Viscount looked like this again, and his fingers trembled slightly, and he asked worriedly, "What's going on?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates are not doing well. Last night we were confronted by a gang of robbers blocking the road, and two wagons of cargo were robbed. The captain said with his head down.

"Two cars...... Which two cars? Graal asked, holding on to his last hope.

The captain glanced up at him and said, "That's it, it's your two important carloads." ”

Graal felt that the world was spinning for a while, and the smug mood just now was gone. However, the difference is less than a minute, and the mood is very different. He sat back in his chair, and the two carts of property, if converted into gold coins, should be about eight million. It was the hard work he had accumulated for years, but it disappeared completely in one night. Grant was like a hollowed-out piece of wood, and he felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart.

A moment later, the rising anger filled the emptiness. He jumped to his feet, first kicking the captain before roaring, "What are you doing?" Didn't I also arrange a master? A full seventeenth-level master, hired by me for a thousand gold coins! With him in charge, why did he lose my things! ”

"My lord, the other party's strength is too strong. Each of them has at least a level of twelve or above, and the adventurer you hired made a move, but he was still defeated by them, and the person was taken away, and life and death were dead. The captain said with a sad face.

Graal was speechless.

A seventeenth-level master, even if he is defeated, he will be captured. How strong the other party's strength is, according to this, they have already been eyeing themselves early on. Thinking back to the previous events, Glar was almost certain that the vault where the thieves had visited, the guards who used the Boiling Blood Crystal in public the next day, and the looting of the goods last night were actually strung together.

It's a well-thought-out serial poison scheme!

"Who's against me? Who is it? Glar cried out, and of course, no one could answer him.

More than eight million of his fortunes were gone, and Gral only felt that his heart was twitching, knowing that his annual profit from legitimate channels was only about one million gold coins. Now that he had lost eight million at once, and did not faint on the spot, Glar already felt that his will was very strong.

His voice trembled and he said, "Be sure to find out!" Find out who did it, damn Regu, you should be glad you did. I'm glad I don't have anyone on hand now, or I'd have killed you. Check it out for me now, and if you can't, I'll let you die a miserable death, I swear! ”

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."

The captain of the guard was just about to leave, but Glar stopped him again: "Remember, don't be too public, keep a low profile. ”

After all, those things can't be seen. If Oban knew that he had more than eight million private belongings on hand, the Earl would surely trace them to their source. And these riches were earned by him through the secret of the seller's boat, and he could not let Oban know about it at all.

But Glaal didn't know that it was Oban's sister who robbed him. When he was furious, Jora changed into a swordsman's suit that knights often wore and went to Oban's study, and after robbing Glaar of his belongings last night, Jorami went back to sleep in his own place. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that she lazily got up from her big fragrant and soft bed.

Then he took a morning bath and had some breakfast before coming to the earl's study.

"Judging by the way you look, last night's events should have gone smoothly?" Oban looked up, glanced at his sister, and smiled.

Jora casually pulled over a chair and sat down: "Do I look so obvious?" ”

"It's like you've got honey in your heart, and you just don't laugh out loud."

"Of course I have to be happy, brother, you don't know how much money that old bastard is hiding in Graar. My people counted it last night, and when converted into gold coins, it was almost eight million. If you add the savings vouchers that I took away before, God, he has nearly 10 million treasures hidden in a secret vault in Ark Harbor! That's a whole decade of his earnings, and of course, I mean the earnings from the formal channels. Ruola clenched her fist and waved it vigorously: "With so much money, you can imagine how many secrets he has betrayed us!" ”

"Glar is a greedy fellow, but I didn't expect his desire to be so big." Oban shook his head: "So, what are you going to do with his things?" ”

"I promised Alan forty percent of him, and the rest, part of which would be used as the military expenses of the Deep Sea Scales. The rest, of course, is my private property! ”

"Allen......" Oban sighed, "You pulled him again?" ”

Jora nodded and said, "Thanks to him, otherwise I might have been in danger last night." That Glaar wasn't too stupid, and he hired a seventeenth-level adventurer to hide in the carriage. Killed me by surprise last night, but fortunately Alan stopped him and defeated him. ”

"Jora, I know you have a crush on Alan. But in the case of Gral, I don't think you should let him infiltrate. ”

"Why, brother. Isn't he your confidant now? Jora asked with a wink.

Oban closed the book in his hand, stood up, and said, "Baron Allen is indeed a talent, but at the same time, he is also a dangerous person. I need to rely on him to deal with people like Daniel, but on the other hand, I have to guard against him. He is an ambitious man, and if he does not get any further power and wealth from me, he will most likely turn against me. When the time comes, he will be the enemy who must be cut off! ”

The Earl's last sentence was so murderous that it made Ruola's back cold.

"So, it's better for him to know less about things like Glar. And if you are pulled, you should control your feelings and not fall in love with a potential enemy, which will not benefit you or me. Oban looked at his sister and said in a deep voice.

Jora muttered, "If he likes me, won't he always be loyal to you, brother?" ”

"Jora, you are naïve. A man like him, who has a world in his heart, how can he give up the whole world because of a woman? Oban sighed, stroked Jora's head and said, "Besides, do you think that people like him will lack women?" No, as long as he gets stronger and stronger, the women around him don't want anything. Jora, don't waste your time for him. ”

"Waste of time?" Jora swept away Oban's hand and stood up, "I know what my brother is thinking. Don't you just want to marry me to the son of the Marquis of Hoy? ”

"What's wrong with the Marquis's son? Which identity or status is not worthy of you? Ruola, don't be willful, everything my brother has done is for you. ”

"It's for you!" Jola shouted: "Marry me to the son of the Marquis, won't you be able to get into a relationship with the Marquis of Hoy, so as to get his attention and inclination in politics and military?" ”

She walked out of the study angrily: "In short, I am no longer a child, brother, don't manipulate my life casually!" ”

Looking at her disappearing back, Oban shook his head with a wry smile. R1058
