Half an hour later, Weilin fell into deep thought, wondering whether he should take over this griffin breeding ranch.

The ranch is a good ranch, but the history of this ranch is somewhat complicated.

Eight hundred years ago, the White Tower Griffin Ranch was founded by Mivis Spences, the finance minister of Grotli Silves, the 22nd King of the Kingdom of Ilia.

Three hundred years later, the White Tower Griffin Ranch fell into the hands of Korsi Kawes, the finance minister of Congreve Silves, the 23rd King of the Kingdom of Ilia.

Two hundred years later, it became the property of the new Finance Minister, Montas Derest.

A hundred years ago, it was acquired by Babra's grandfather, Ismael Asterix.

In just eight hundred years, the White Tower Griffin Ranch had four owners.

At a glance, it seems to be just the normal circulation of the industry and there is no problem. However, as long as you know a little about history, you can see the clues.

Therefore, in the upper echelons of the kingdom, the White Tower Griffin Ranch is also known as the Cursed Ranch. Whichever family of the Chancellor of Finance takes over the Griffin Ranch will fall when the throne changes.

But every finance minister refused to believe in it and insisted on proving to the world that his family's fortune could suppress this cursed ranch.

As to whether the royal family was behind this, that is unknown.

However, in Weilin's opinion, the reason these families fell was entirely because they stood on the wrong side and were liquidated by the new king.

But some things are better to be believed than not. Weilin thought about it and prepared to refuse it outright.

"Sir Weilin, the White Tower Griffin Ranch, according to my grandfather's wishes, is only sold for one gold coin." Babra noticed the change in Weilin's mood and spoke first.

"This matter...well, let me think about it."

Hearing this, Weilin opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment.

It’s not that he didn’t want to refuse directly, but the price was too cheap.

Besides, he was not the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so he didn't need to pay any attention to the rumored curse.

Seeing Weilin's hesitation, Babra gritted his teeth and continued, "Sir Weilin, if you are willing to buy the White Tower Griffin Ranch, the Asterix family is willing to give you two 5,000-acre wind grass pastures, a griffin training cliff, and ten griffin knight training instructors."

"Excuse me, but why did the Asterix family choose me?" Weilin turned to look at Babra and asked curiously.

Seeing this, Babra smiled and replied, "Sir Weilin, you are the Earl of Qixing, who was personally canonized by the Crown of the Goddess of Life. You are favored and protected by the goddess, and this is what we value."

Weilin couldn't help but be shocked and asked in disbelief, "Is that the only reason?"

"It's that simple." Babra smiled bitterly and explained, "In your opinion, the previous finance ministers fell because they chose the wrong side, which is indeed the case. But the other members of the Asterix family have wild ideas. Even the elders of the family have begun to persuade my grandfather."

"As time went by, my grandfather lost the vigor and vitality he had in his middle age. He gradually believed these rumors and wanted to transfer the White Tower Griffin Ranch. However, no family in the capital wanted to take it over. The nobles also had no shortage of griffin ranches. As for the new nobles, they didn't have the financial resources, let alone the courage."

Weilin pretended to be embarrassed and struggled for a while, and finally answered: "Babra, I can accept this White Tower Griffin Ranch, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"Sir Weilin, please speak." Upon hearing this, Babula asked with a serious face.

"There's no rush now. I'll send someone to find you when the time comes." Seeing this, Weilin responded, "But don't worry, the conditions I propose will not make you violate the principles of being a human being and doing things."

Upon hearing this, Babra took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "Sir Weilin, I, Babra, thank you for your help on behalf of the Asterix family."

Weilin stepped forward to help Babla up and said with a smile, "Hahaha, there's no need to be like that. To be honest, I got a great advantage."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Babla left the place temporarily on the pretext of important matters.

"My lord, there is something wrong with the White Tower Griffin Ranch. Why did you buy it?" After Babra left, Kyle looked at Weilin and asked curiously.

Weilin picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then replied with a smile, "I bought the White Tower Griffin Ranch, but I didn't say I wanted to run it."

"As long as I bring all these things back to Qixing Territory, abandon the White Tower Griffin Ranch and convert it into a manor, won't the so-called rumors be self-defeating?"

"Besides, with my luck, I don't think the curse can do anything to me."

Hearing this, Kyle recalled the story that happened to his master and thought, "That's true. Cursed creatures will avoid you when they see you, for fear of being caught by you."

Looking at Kyle's expression, Weilin was curious about what he was thinking, but did not ask.

No one disturbed them, or perhaps Kyle deliberately reduced the presence of this place, so that the surrounding nobles would automatically ignore it.

After eating a few pieces of cake, Weilin stopped.

It’s not that it doesn’t taste good, but I’ve eaten too many good things these days and my stomach is a little full.

As time goes by, the sun rises from the east.

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone on the manor, the private exchange meeting was declared over.

Led by a maid, Weilin and Kyle came to the interior of the manor.

Babula looked apologetic and said, "Sir Weilin, I was very busy last night and was very negligent. Please forgive me."

"Brother Babula, this is a bit strange." Weilin responded with a smile and a gentle tone.

Seeing this, Babra smiled ashamedly, and then asked the butler to bring the White Tower Griffin Ranch, two 5,000-acre Fengya grass pastures and a griffin training cliff title deed, as well as the lifetime employment contracts of ten griffin knight training instructors.

After everything was brought in, Babla was the first to speak: "Sir Weilin, let's start the transaction."

"it is good."

Weilin nodded in response, took out a gold coin and placed it on the table, then signed his name on the business contract that carried the aura of the gods.

Given the status of both parties, this transaction could have been done with an ordinary contract, but the Asterix family was afraid that Verin would regret it, so they took this approach.

However, Weilin was not angry. It was just a free bargain after all.

When Babra signed his grandfather's name on behalf of the Asterix family, the transaction was officially completed.

Babra took a gold coin from the table, then took the contract from the servant and handed it to Weilin.

After the transaction was completed, Weilin asked to resign.
