Lord of Plenty

Throwing gloves between nobles means a duel, and throwing them in the face is the ultimate mockery, with some meaning of a fight to the death.

Generally, nobles with dignity will accept a duel with their heads held high even if they know they will die.

Because not accepting it will bring shame to the entire family.

This is more terrible than death in the aristocratic circle, and no one will recognize their equal aristocratic status in the future.

The most common way for nobles to die in the royal capital is illness, followed by serious injuries in a duel, and then death, and finally death.

But Kalam is not a traditional noble. He only holds the title of earl in name only, and has no hereditary territory. The reputation of a noble is naturally not as important as his own life.

Getting the status of earl is just to make it easier for him to pimp for his brothel.

In the royal capital, few nobles will recognize his status.

It's just that they can't afford to offend the person standing behind him.

Kun doesn't care whether the second prince or the third prince is standing behind him. To be honest, it's because his own dignity and character drive him to do so.

He can be unreasonable when facing people who don't need to be reasonable.

The biggest pimp in the capital and the slave trader who manages the largest "talent market" in the capital are arm in arm and call each other brothers.

Let's guess what good things they did behind the scenes?

Such a guy who is disgusting to look at for a second came to say that Kun is the same person as him?

I think you have a way to die.jpg

"You don't accept the duel, right?"

Karam's face was livid. According to the rules, as an upper noble, he can actually hire an agent to duel for him.

But even so, how many people in the entire capital dare to guarantee that they can definitely beat the guy in front of him?

He can't beat the one he can afford.

He can't afford the one who can beat him.

Even the person behind him will never support him in a duel, because he had just warned him not long ago not to have any thoughts of revenge.

"You won, tell me, what do you want!"

The loser in the noble duel will have an item on his body picked up by the winner as a trophy.

This can be an eye, an ear, an arm, all the clothes on the body, a family emblem, or wealth equivalent to the other person's life.

Ignoring the venomous snake-like forbearing and cruel gaze, Kun said calmly:

"You have two days to hand over all the assassins who attacked my people, otherwise you will dig out your eyeballs as a replacement.

Don't you like eyeballs the most? I have no interest in other people's eyeballs, but I think it will be particularly pleasing to the eye if you dig out your dog eyes and put them in the room as specimens."

Karam gritted his teeth in anger and said:

"Those people were not sent by me, didn't you say you knew it a long time ago?"

"I know, I know, but what is the necessary connection with what I asked you to do?

Remember, in two days, either the assassin or the eye must be handed over!"

Barragan, who was sitting on pins and needles, saw that the two people he couldn't afford to offend were so hesitant to speak. Now whatever he said would be wrong, so it would be better to just keep silent.

Count Kalam took a deep breath and slammed the staff of civilization in his hand on the ground:

"Viscount, I just hope you won't regret your choice today in the future!"

"Wait a minute."

"Hmm?"

Kalam looked at Kun who suddenly called him with some doubt.

Kun looked at him and said with a smile:

"Everyone says that Earl Kalam is a mad dog who will take revenge. You said that the previous assassin was not sent by you, I believe it.

But where is your assassin?

Let me think about it. It's because I suddenly came to the capital, and you suddenly realized that there is actually a cheaper way to solve this trouble than to kill a seriously injured swordsman who may counterattack before death, such as...

Kill me?"

"It may not be your intention to put down your face and come to me to show your good will, but you can't refuse, and it's just right to paralyze my vigilance.

When you find an opportunity to get rid of me, you can push the blame on the enemy and let the swordsman fight them to the death. Not only will you solve your troubles, but you will also get more appreciation.

If I were you, I would do this. Right, Earl Kalam?"

Karam looked at Kun deeply, his eyes full of fear, and turned away without saying anything else.

Kun turned his head and said to Barragan with a smile:

"This is how I treat people with sincerity. I have thought of everything he thought of and didn't think of.

Do you think I am kind?"

Barragan had an inexplicable expression, and his mouth moved for a long time before he uttered:

"You are so kind, my young master!"

This was the first time in his life that he saw someone teaching the enemy how to deal with him.

He was teaching on the spot, as if he was afraid that the other party was too stupid to learn the essence.

But even if you guessed it, you shouldn't say it out loud. The next time the other party attacks, he will only be more alert and more covert.

I don't understand, I really don't understand!

Barragan didn't know Kun's strength, so he naturally didn't know that Kun didn't care whether the other party assassinated him or not.

It didn't matter who came.

Kun deliberately told all the plans he guessed about Count Karam on the spot, just to force the other party to do his best to help him catch the previous group of assassins.

Although he was powerful, it was impossible for him to catch a sewer rat that was very good at hiding itself in a place as big as the royal capital within a limited time.

But Kalam is different. He is the king who controls the dark side of the capital on behalf of someone else, and he also controls the largest information intelligence agency in the capital.

The assassins who assassinated the Fengrao Territory caravan before may not have been sent by him, but he must have known about it, and he might have even pushed it secretly.

As for Kun, he is only interested in the poison formula in the assassin's hand.

As for the guy who was stomped to death by Kalam and disgusted by him, his attitude has always been to turn a blind eye.

Just don't run to his face and die.

If he didn't have to keep him to help catch the assassin, Kalam's eyes would definitely not be saved by anyone today.

"Please pay more attention to recruiting people and hiring craftsmen. Also, remember not to mix sand in it. If there is a problem, I will find out the account later."

Barragan said frankly that he didn't dare.

Leaving Old Tate to go with Barragan to select people, Kun took a few players and set off to the Princess Palace again.

Along the way, the little white shark in the waves didn't know what was wrong with him, and he kept controlling the eye cub to slap him.

It took Kun a long time to resist the urge to "fertilize" this salted fish.

"Is Catherine not here?"

The servant in the castle said:

"Her Highness Catherine accompanied several princes to the Grand Arena today and has not returned yet. If the Viscount is not busy, you can wait in the side hall for a while. I will inform you as soon as Her Highness returns."

"No need, I will go to the Grand Arena to find her myself, anyway, it's on the way."

Kun just wanted to go to the commercial street outside the Grand Arena to check the location of the shop. As for the cost of buying a shop, although he is a poor man, he is not a golden goose.

Her family is the richest in the kingdom.

With their friendship, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow some money...

right?

In the commercial street, Kun really saw several shops belonging to the Naji family being cleared and moved. This seemingly ordinary but extremely rare situation also attracted the attention of many passers-by.

This is the first time that the ownership of the shops on this street has been lost because of a family other than the family's loss of power. The heir of the Naji family is afraid that he will be ridiculed for a long time.

The four fools of the capital, the toad dragon knight, the mud noble, the affectionate pharmacist, and the smart Casper.

This "smart" is actually written as the prodigal son, the prodigal son Casper Naji.

The Naji family is not a noble family, but an official family. The current Prime Minister Dansu has the surname Naji.

These shops on the commercial street are all rewards from the royal family. The old king and Prime Minister Naji were good friends when they were young. This friendship from their youth has been maintained to this day. It has been more than 50 years of favor, which is rare in the history of the kingdom.

Prime Minister Naji is a very capable person, and the kingdom has a high opinion of him.

During his more than 50 years in power, the kingdom has been thriving. Because of the former king's ostentation and extravagance, the weakened royal family has also recovered to its former strength.

However, the only shortcoming of the old man is that he dotes on Casper, his only grandson, too much, and gives him whatever he wants.

The first two fools in the capital are too independent, while the last two fools grew up in pampering and are heartless.

However, there is one good thing about the last fool. If you call the first three nicknames in front of them, you will be unlucky, but the last fool especially likes the title of "Smart Casper".

After hearing others say it, not only will he not get angry, but he will also be complacent. He is really "smart" to the extreme.

Kun thinks that the heir of the Naji family is really smart.

It is also possible that there is a master behind the scenes.

It seems that the Naji family can continue to be prosperous in the political arena for more than ten years.

"Come on!"

"Go, come on, kill that big guy!"

Before approaching the Grand Arena, you can clearly hear the shouts and cheers from the arena, which are like waves, one after another, full of a warm atmosphere.

The cheapest ticket in the Grand Arena is the standing ticket, which only requires one copper coin to enter the venue to watch the game. In addition, this is also the only place in the capital where you can gamble freely.

The Grand Arena is the banker, and the audience can bet on the favorite party at will. Whether they win or lose depends on their own eyesight.

The residents of the capital, whether rich or poor, all like this place.

Unlike gambling, which is a game that only nobles and wealthy people have the capital to participate in, the Grand Arena is undoubtedly more friendly to the people than the former.

Of course, the Grand Arena definitely makes a lot of money. The taxes paid alone account for one-fifteenth of the taxes in the capital, and its ability to attract money is obvious.

Kun heard that there are usually ladders and arenas in the game, which can not only consume some of the players' excess energy, but also hone their fighting skills.

So this time he came to the Grand Arena, not only to find his cousin Catherine, but also to learn from her and build a similar one in the Rich Territory in the future.
