Chapter 44 Conflict

Richard didn't like people blocking his way, which reminded him of Papin.

I have to admit that although Papin is an idiot, he disturbed Richard's first birthday after saying goodbye to his mother, and gave Richard more psychological blows than Stevenson. Although because of Erin's affairs, Richard was also eager to kill Sdiwenson.

As for his own assassination, Richard didn't care about it. Because he knew very well that he would have to go to the battlefield sooner or later, and compared with the plane battle, the assassination a few days ago was not even a child's game. The only brutal reality is Naya's torture of the Blood Parrot. Richard still didn't know if Naya really didn't ask anything, or if he didn't want to hear what she had to say in the first place, and just showed himself the possible blood and cruelty in the future.

However, Richard no longer liked to be in the way, and the road ahead was still blocked, and it was Stevenson who he least wanted to see in the way.

The Dragon Vein Warlock was still smiling gracefully, and with impeccable grace, he stretched out his hand to Richard and said, "Richard, long time no see. Are you going to get a catalogue of the lots too?"

Richard looked at Stevenson's face, and then at his hand, and had no intention of shaking hands with him, but said directly: "What I do has nothing to do with you!

Stevenson's smile froze, and the attendants behind him were stunned and angry. No one thought that Richard would be so faceless, and such unreasonable words and deeds were at least not in line with the identity of a great nobleman. Both Solam and Akmund are now powerful nobles, even if it is only Akmund of Gordon's line.

It's one of the main thoroughfares leading to the Midsummer Carnival area, which is bustling with people and has a lot of outsiders because of its proximity. These people may not live in Deep Blue because of their identity and financial resources, but they also came to visit in advance, while inquiring about the market, while opening their eyes, in addition, the edge area open to tourists until the bottom of the Deep Blue main tower, there are some shops, even if it is not produced by Deep Blue, it is also sold by Deep Blue, and the quality will never be worse.

Seeing that Richard and Stevenson were arguing, the crowd of onlookers began to increase. However, the more onlookers there were, the more it suited Sdiwenson's heart. If it can provoke Richard and make him make a fool of himself in public, it will serve its purpose, even if it will not help win the game at all.

So Stevenson immediately controlled his anger, calmly withdrew his hand, and continued to say in a graceful manner: "From you, I finally understand why the Akmund family has risen so quickly. Not everyone can walk the path that other families have taken thousands of years to accomplish in a few decades. ”

There were a few gentle sneers from the onlookers, and the reputation of the nouveau riche Akmund had now spread throughout the Holy Alliance, and even many in the other two empires had heard of it.

However, Richard still had the same expression, and looked indifferently into Stilvinson's eyes without the slightest excitement, and said: "The tradition of the Akmund family has always been to be hypocritical only to real opponents. ”

Stevenson's face turned pale again, and his men could no longer hold it back, and the warlord stepped forward, pressed the hilt of the knife on his waist, and shouted in a deep voice: "You dare to insult the Solam family?

Richard didn't even look at the warrior, still looking into Stevenson's eyes, and said, "I thought what happened last time would make you smarter, but I didn't expect you to be as stupid as before." Are you so stressed out that you can't sleep without coming to see how I react?"

"Haha! I really don't know what you're talking about!" Stevenson laughed, his face looking a little unnatural.

Richard's counterattack is like an assassination by a killer, unexpected, yet direct and deadly. This made Stevenson, who was accustomed to being polite and secretly clever in high society, extremely uncomfortable. And every word of Richard is straight to the point, leaving no room at all.

The crowd of onlookers also fell silent, waiting to see a good show.

"If you don't know who the blood parrot is, then keep your dog on a leash and don't let it bark everywhere, it's not me who is the one who is the disgrace. Looking at Stevenson's suddenly blue face, Richard still did not relax: "And I really don't know where your courage and confidence come from, it seems that there was just a battle between Solam and Akmund, I don't know what the result will be?"

"That's Elliejie Akmund, not Gordon!" said Stevenson with a sneer.

"Not really. Richard nodded in return.

The crowd erupted in laughter, and Stevenson realized he had said the wrong thing. If Gordon had been replaced, I am afraid that the combined forces of Solam and Neo would have been wiped out a long time ago, and it would not have lasted that long.

Of course, if it was Gordon who appeared on the border battlefield, then the other great nobles of the Holy Tree Dynasty would not stand idly by, a small robber would fight the autumn wind, and a strong man would invade. But although politics is always complicated, the result is always simple. The hard truth is that a second-rate viscount of the House of Akmund has crippled the alliance between the Marquis of Neo and the Duke of Solam.

And the undisguised laughter of the people made Stevenson realize that this was not Solam, and it was impossible for everyone to sell the face of Duke Solam. At least those who dare to laugh will never be afraid of the Solams, and even worse, there will be a lot of laughter.

Stevenson could barely suppress the surging rage and blood, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He is well aware of the rules of the struggle between the real aristocratic and wealthy families, and he can grasp the score without any mistakes. But this Richard did not care about any rules, he could say whatever he wanted, and he was so casual that he exposed the dirtiest and darkest things in front of people. Isn't he afraid of being ridiculed?

But here's where the frustration lies. Akmund has long been branded as an upstart, and his reputation could not have been worse. But Solam is 800 years old, and although it is not old, it is enough to be an adjective. If you scold Richard, Stevenson has no wins or losses. Richard was a descendant of the madman family, but Stevenson didn't want to lower his image to the same as the other party. Moreover, in the latest war, Solam was still the loser, which turned the most powerful weapon of the threat of war into an empty slogan.

And everyone knows that it is better not to threaten Akmund with war. It's a bunch of crazy people, and if you threaten them with war, they will really give you war. The Marquis of Neo is a prime example of this.

According to the unspoken rules that have been formed among the nobles for many years, Stevenson should leave generously and proudly at this time. Unlike the lower class citizens, the way to resolve disputes should not be bickering, but in a dueling arena, a battlefield, or a courtroom. Bravery, strength, power, that is the territory of the nobility. He leaves in this way, not in disgrace, but only in decency.

But Stevenson was not yet eighteen years old, after all, there was no sixty-eight-year-old city mansion, and finally couldn't help but ask: "I heard that you just had an affair with a woman named Erin." I have to compliment you on your choice because she tastes really good. ”

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Richard's eyes, and then it dimmed again, and he regained his clear and calm eyes, nodded calmly, and said, "I agree with you too. But I'm not worried about it, it's about how you're going to end up if you lose the game?"

Stevenson's eyelids jumped, and then he smiled calmly, "What ......if?

Before Sdiwenson could finish speaking, Richard interrupted him: "In the world of demonic construction, there may be people who are more talented than me, but you are not among them. Think about what to do if you lose. ”

Stevenson was finally speechless. Richard was telling the truth, and even Stevenson couldn't deny it. Stevenson's hopes of victory lie in the accumulation of large resources, the use of family power, and the possible preference of Helen Sue. However, Richard's words pierced the situation that he had been unwilling to think about, that is, what if he lost? The total investment of the Solam family has approached 20 million gold coins, and the consequences of such a failed investment cannot be borne by Stevenson himself, even his mother family and the Marquis of Neo.

However, it may be that the Akmund family will not support Richard, and that Helen Sue will not be biased towards Richard? That 'tender and delicious' comment is still a lingering shadow in Stilvinson's heart. Finally, the final battle of the Constructed Knights in Neo's territory shows that the hidden Constructed Knights in the Akmund family are far superior to Santa Cruz, at least in actual combat. Although Santa Cruz had put a holy prefix to his name, he himself had not yet touched the side of the Grand Constructor. And apparently, there is at least one Grand Constructor hidden in the Akmund family!

Thinking about it this way, Stevenson suddenly realized that the odds of winning were not as great as he thought. With a few months to go, he still has time to consolidate his advantage. But the problem is that the consolidation of advantages depends on massive material input, so it falls into a dead loop, the more you don't want to lose, the more you have to increase investment, and then the more you can't lose, and then you have to increase investment...... Stevenson suddenly felt that half a year was too long.

Seeing Stevenson's face, Richard smiled and walked along his original route. The Dragon Pulse Warlock took a few steps to the side and made the way. Having said that, there is no room for maneuver, and it will be useless to continue to entangle, if you make trouble unreasonably, it will only be the Solam family who will be embarrassed. Stevenson also caught a glimpse of several familiar faces in the crowd of onlookers, the real big men he had seen repeatedly in various sources.

Richard's words were like a barbarian punch shattering the brilliant stained glass, putting the harshness and reality of the world outside the window before Stilvinson's eyes. Stevenson had been trying to avoid thinking about these things, and it was useless to think about the consequences that he couldn't bear, messing with his thoughts and stumbling in his tracks, and now he was furious to find that the damn boy had succeeded in making him uneasy.

As he passed the officer, Richard suddenly stopped, tilted his head, and examined his face. The warfighter only felt that Richard had suddenly become an unsheathed dagger, and the sharpness of his erection made him very uncomfortable, as if he had stepped within a safe distance of a deadly beast. Under the stimulus, he subconsciously took a step back, and choked the sword out of its sheath.

Richard was in a mixed mood at the moment.

At such close range, with burst and precision, he has at least five ways to wreak havoc on fighters. But this is a trouble, Richard is afraid that he will have a violent blood attack one day, so he will really take action. His current ability is far from the stage of freedom that Naya has depicted, and once he does it, it will be difficult to remedy. But now Richard can still control himself, so as if he didn't see the sword of the fighter, his eyes still stayed on the other party's face, and he said lightly: "A dog is a dog." I just stretched my face to you, and I forgive you for not having the courage to fight. ”

The Warlord's face flushed as he looked up at Stevenson, the Dragonvein Warlock's face contorted and his breathing heavily, but slowly but surely shaking his head. The warrior's face turned even redder, but he could only slowly push the hilt back into the sheath, watching Richard move away at a constant pace.

The crowd of onlookers buzzed again, not particularly loudly, but it didn't care about Stilwinson's group.

Since he didn't lower his voice, the content of his speech obviously wouldn't make the people of the Solam family happy, but the warfighter didn't have the courage to draw his sword and get angry. Let's not talk about whether there are any mainland heroes among these people who can fight with Solam, but there are still many people who can cut him down with a knife. Among the emblems that could be recognized as far as the eye could see, there were many allies of Akmund or Akmund's associated families, and the reason why they did not make more aggressive moves was because of Suhelen and not Solam.

Without saying a word, Stevenson waved his hand and led the people away, not even taking the catalogue of the Midsummer Carnival. When he walked to a secluded and uninhabited place, the warfighter finally couldn't help but ask: "Young master, why didn't you let me behead him?

Stilvinson did not answer with a gloomy face, and the magician sneered and said, "Childish, do you think that you can take all the responsibility off your own shoulders with your hands? With the way the Akmund family does things, no matter what the reason, even if the young master hands over your head to them, they will still start a war against Solam." ”

Stevenson sighed, glanced at the warlord, and said, "All those with the surname Akmund are insane. Don't provoke him again, this is dark blue, not our territory. You've followed me for years, and I don't want anything to happen to you. ”

The Dragonvein Warlock looked depressed and walked towards his quarters. The warrior fell last, looking at the sorcerer's eyes with a hint of mockery and gloom.
