Lord of War

  The cautiousness of the old man slightly exceeded Sean’s expectations.

The manor is actually not exclusive to the nobles, at least not in this world. Some wealthy and wealthy businessmen can also make a manor for fun, but the cost is definitely not low, and it must be a few large villas. Price. In fact, the nobles without real estate want to build a manor, and the money they need to spend is not necessarily much less than that of such wealthy merchants. After all, the biggest reason why nobles on the ground can save money is to build on their territory. There is no need to purchase land for any building.

  If a nobleman on the ground knows that someone is going to buy a piece of land on his territory to build a manor, it would be strange if he doesn't swindle a sum of money.

It is precisely because of this that when the old man heard that such an honorary noble named Sean actually wanted a design drawing of the manor, his first reaction was not to be surprised at Sean's wealth, but to intuitively make him aware of it. Some kind of conspiracy.

However, Sean’s reaction was not slow. After feeling the old man’s caution, Sean’s face showed just the right kind of complacency that belonged to the young aristocrat. He smiled confidently: "Master. , You must have not heard my self-introduction clearly."

  The old man's brows frowned slightly. He did not intend to talk to Sean just now, so naturally he wouldn't care what Sean said to him.

"Below is Fran Dumoy, a viscount who is about to become a nobleman on the ground." Sean put his left hand on his chest, his face showing more pride, "About the territorial position that I will soon acquire. A secret that can’t be said, but if everything goes well, I will get my territorial contract in a month.... Maybe it’s not a rich place, but at least it’s a place full of vitality and wealth."

   When Sean said this, the look on his face was no different from all the young nobles who were about to become nobles on the ground. This old man may not know many nobles on the ground, but the days of dealing with nobles are not too few. Coupled with his rich experience and experience throughout his life, it is naturally easy to judge whether a person is telling the truth or not. .

  At this moment, the news he got from Sean’s expression was that the young man in front of him was indeed telling the truth.

  What Shaun said, of course, is the truth.

  If all goes well, a month later, he will have obtained the land contract from Panda, and he is still on his way back. And in fact, whether it is Pandan or Dayi in Sean’s current territory, it is by no means a rich land. Pandan is currently in a state of development, and everything is just on track. At least one or two years to see the effect of the beautiful ambition that you have shown before; while Da Yi Ling, although almost everything has been developed, is on track, but because of the riots caused by the Mitchlin family colluding with outsiders. , Resulting in the serious loss of the territories nowadays.

  As the two realms that Sean’s current realm has focused on, this is the case, not to mention that Lonnie hadn't managed much at the beginning and then fell into the quagmire of the war. If this territory must be described with adjectives, it is a very poor leader who needs poverty alleviation.

   On the other hand, Sean did not make a mistake.

  These three territories are indeed not rich, but they are definitely territories full of vitality and wealth.

Both Chiraff and Panda are important passages leading to the Rift Valley. This is destined to be if Sean lifts the blockade of the Rift Valley in the future, then these two territories will immediately become the hottest areas. . And Pandaling and Dayling are important areas of Neal's territory development strategy, so these two territories will naturally not be left behind in future development.

  Under such hopeful circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Sean's expression to show any flaws.

   "I understand." The old man groaned slightly, but finally nodded, "I will consider your proposal carefully."

   "Of course." Sean nodded in satisfaction.

  Meeting with this old man tonight, Sean just wanted to get in touch first, and Sean was very satisfied with the results. He knows something, and haste is not enough, even if he can’t wait to get the architectural blueprint of Hastings Manor right now, and then sneak in at night to steal out Panda’s contract documents, but he still has to forcefully suppress it. Live this desire in your heart.

  For now, time is relatively abundant, so Sean doesn't mind spending more time on this old man.

  His only hope is not to have too many accidents at this time. In other words, even if there is any accident, he hopes to be in his control, because he has seen the scene where the world does not follow the script at all, so no matter what happens, Sean will no longer I was surprised again, especially after knowing that the Hastings family was actually attached to the Nugus family, Sean had already had the worst plans when he came here.

The next night, Sean and the old man had a pleasant conversation. Sean gave the six glasses of wine he could order to the old man. For this, he paid two gold coins and four silver coins—the old man was here. After hearing that Sean was going to treat him, he put away the gold coin very stingly, and added a glass of wine. Of course, this action immediately caused laughter from many guests in the tavern. It seemed that many people maintained a good friendship with this old man. Although the old man flushed because of drinking, he was still very good at these kind teases. Muttered dissatisfiedly.

   Just after nine o'clock, the already drunk old man got up and said goodbye to Sean.

Fortunately, although he was drunk, at least he did not forget some of the etiquette-Sean keenly noticed that the etiquette the old man pays his respects is the standard salute of the common people to the nobles, although the actions are irregular and full The kind of civilian casualness, but at least you can still see the meaning of this etiquette. And it is precisely because of this that Sean noticed at this moment that many people in the tavern seemed to have changed their expressions, some of them became a little more cautious, and the others seemed to be adventurers. Drinkers are also full of vigilance.

  This discovery made Xiao En's brows slightly frowned.

   "Then my lord, I'll leave first." The old man said vaguely, and he was already swaying when he walked.

"Fred." Sean got up and helped the old man, then led him to Alfred and Anno's side, and said, "You send him back, I'm always a little upset." Having said this, Sean whispered again: "You should pay more attention to the situation along the way, as well as the safety of the old man’s residence.... You should still bring the Fire Lion’s fangs, but don’t use it if there is nothing necessary. I’ll go to the weapons store tomorrow to buy a handy weapon."

   "Don't worry." Alfred smiled, "Even if I don't wear the flaming lion fangs, my fist is enough to make ordinary people not dare to act rashly."

Because the Flame Lion’s fangs are Alfred’s iconic weapons, basically the noble circle of the Darbion Kingdom can guess Alfred’s identity as soon as they see this weapon, but as the current Alfred The most handy weapon so it was naturally brought here this time, but it was wrapped in layers of white cloth. In the case where the identity has not been fully exposed, it is of course better not to use the Flame Lion's fangs, but if you are facing death threats, then it is unnecessary to hide your identity.

  But Alfred didn't care, he smiled and raised his hand, then he helped the already drunk old man and started walking outside the pub.

  At this time, Sean remembered that Alfred's boxing skills were also good. If it hadn't been for Sean's suggestion, Alfred's direction of employment might be related to boxing fighters. At present, because the flame lion fangs are unfinished products, the increase in various attributes is not obvious. Therefore, Alfred’s current invincibility of the same rank is not based on the bonus effect of the flame lion fangs, so even if it is used With boxing skills against the enemy, Alfred is still invincible at the same level.

  Looking at Alfred carrying the old man out of the tavern like he wanted to carry the bag, Shaun looked at the two groups of people he had just noticed with the corner of his eye.

  The scrupulous people in the first group didn't show much performance. Seeing their expressions, there seemed to be a sense of relief. On the contrary, it was the people dressed up as adventurers, all with an ugly look on their faces. They looked at each other, and then all their eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the middle, only to see the middle-aged man. After nodding, the table of seven people got up and left the tavern.

  Almost after the seven adventurers left, the other five people who were uneasy also got up and left one after another.

  Sean looked at this scene thoughtfully, instinctively guessing that he already probably understood what was going on.

  It is estimated that some people want this old man to help, but with this old man's bad attitude, the other party must be eaten up severely, so he wants to use other means to achieve the goal. From this point of view, the other group should be someone who knew the news, so they ordered another group of people to be responsible for protecting the old man. Of course, it does not rule out that they also have some ulterior motives towards the old man.

  Thinking about it this way, it should be a secret contest between the two groups.

  In fact, Anno is actually more suitable to be the protector of this old man, but the IQ of the big man is really anxious, so Sean will let Alfred take the shot. Of course, there is also a consideration here. Sean does not intend to intervene in the contest between the two parties. What he wants is only the architectural blueprint of Hastings Manor. As for whether the old man is dead or alive, it doesn't matter to him at all. .

  However, before getting the information about the blueprint of Hastings Manor, of course Sean had to protect the old man.

  For a moment, Sean got up and walked towards the second floor.
