The Emerald Tower

Chapter 321: One After Another I

In the past few days, Bugle Town has been extremely lively.

It was not the shuttle of the merchants in the past, but the appearance of nobles one by one. From morning to evening, the carriages of the big men always appeared one after another at the entrance of Bugle Town, and then headed to the town. Center to visit the new lord of Horn Town.

The attitude of every nobleman is respectful, even... flattering.

This made the locals of Bugle Town feel strange, because the appearance of these nobles seemed to be that the owner of Bugle Town had not changed, and was still the second son of the Marquis.

No, no, much better than the second son of the Marquis!

At least the old Marquis himself was right!

Coupled with the previous news that Dean was already at the silver level, these locals let out a long sigh of relief.

The new lord in front of him looks good, not only has considerable strength, but also is not tyrannical, and seems to be very popular with other nobles. Isn't this a good thing for them?

Therefore, within a few days, the panic-stricken people in Bugle Town returned to normal, and began to accept and face up to their new lord.

Of course, it also includes people around the new lord——

For example: Lord Lauder.

"Master Lauder, good day!"

Several guards in Bugle Town respectfully greeted Lauder who was walking by.

"Good day, everyone!"

Lauder responded with a smile.

Then, he walked forward quickly - Lauder had always been kind to his own people, even if he was too busy to touch the ground. He also did not forget to return kindness.

because. He knows. This is what his adults would love to see.

As for being busy now?

Lauder enjoyed it even more, he took the initiative to talk to those big shots, seeing those big shots anxious inside, but insisting on pretending to be plain on the surface, Laud was really very happy.

At least, it is much happier than the days when the poor and poor were forced to pay taxes.

"Lord Lauder!"

a hello,

It came from a distance, causing Lauder's fast pace to temporarily stop. Looking there - a carriage with a family crest was parked not far away, and a man was walking down from it.

"Good day, Viscount De'an!"

Lauder bowed slightly, showing courtesy.

"Hey, Lauder, we're not friends, so there's no need for this?"

Viscount De'an, who was an advisor to the Minister of Military Affairs, looked at Lauder in surprise.

"Well, it's my fault, I won't do it next time! As compensation, how about I buy you a drink?"

Feel the falsehood on the other side. Lauder responded with a more hypocritical expression.

"Have a drink? Of course it's no problem! However, I'm here with a mission...my boss. I want to ask, Lord Zelgon—of course, it's not a big deal, it's just that Emerald The shops in the capital, those that originally belonged to the Bora family..."

His Excellency the Viscount spoke vaguely.

However, Lauder was very clear in his heart, and he immediately laughed.

"More than half of the twenty-seven shops have been sold out, and only a few are left!"

Lauder replied.

"Oh, that's right! What about the two caravans?"

His Excellency the Viscount nodded, as if asking casually.

"This this……"

Lauder looked at the other party in embarrassment, but did not speak for a long time.

"Lauder, aren't we friends?".

The viscount took a step forward, and put a small purse into Lauder's hand without a trace. The touch and weight made Lauder immediately judge that it was a bag of Kimpton.

"Of course, we are friends, so... all I can say is that Lord Kuster and the King of County Merri are very interested!"

For the following words, Lauder lowered his voice.

Chancellor of the Treasurer and King of Merryshire?

After hearing Lauder's answer, His Excellency the Viscount frowned, but he immediately let go, and said to Lauder with a smile, "Thank you Lauder for your words, and may our friendship last forever!"

"May our friendship last forever!"

After the same response, Lauder bid farewell to the viscount.

Then, he continued to walk towards the building where Dean was; however, he was stopped by several big shots from the emerald capital—or rather, representatives of big shots.

And, like that Viscount De'an, they had a friendly conversation.

Therefore, when Lauder walked into the hall where Dean was, he already had five extra money bags on him. If he hadn't served as a tax officer, I am afraid that these money bags would have made Lauder 'difficult'. After all, then The sound of coins rattling is really eye-catching.

"grown ups!"

Looking at Dean who was sitting on the sofa, flipping through some secret technique, Lauder bowed and took out the money bag on his body, and then poured out all the Kimptons in it.

"The harvest is good!"

Dean withdrew his gaze from looking at the secret art books in his hand, and couldn't help laughing as he looked at Kimpton, which was spread thickly on the table.

"It's all thanks to you, my lord!"

While speaking, Lauder put two-thirds of the Kimpton back into the money bag and put it on Dean's side, while putting the remaining one-third into his own pocket.

Although it lost two-thirds all of a sudden, Lauder didn't feel distressed at all.

He was very clear about why he was able to get these Kimptons. If he relied on himself alone, it would be impossible for him to have such a harvest in his life.

What's more, he knew better what would happen to him once he left Dean. Those guys in Horsh County wanted to skin themselves and light the sky lanterns.

And, more importantly, his lord didn't take all of it, but left a third for him.

And this is already a lot of wealth for him who was only a tax officer!

Lauder, who was able to save his life and have wealth, was already loyal to Dean. He became more and more desperate.

"Your Excellency, five guys asked me about the two caravans today... the Minister of Military Affairs also got involved!"

Lauder reported.

"Well. The Chancellor of the Treasurer, the Secretary of War, and the Lord of Merri... I think we'll get a good deal!"

Dean nodded with a smile, then waved his hand.

Immediately, Lauder walked out.

Reporting to Dean is only one part of Lauder's work, and there are more other tasks that need him to complete.

After Lauder left, Dean lowered his head again to look at the book that recorded the secret technique in his hand.

but. Before Dean could turn the page, the Archduke Swordsman hurriedly pushed the door and walked in——

"Dean, I don't think you should stay here leisurely now, but I have been busy for two days without rest... A few days ago, you were inspecting several other towns, and now you are back, I think I can hand over the work of identifying secret techniques and secret transmissions to you!"

In a tone full of complaints, the Archduke Swordsman sat down in front of Dean unceremoniously, and said directly.

"Both I and the nobles who come to trade hope to have a fair intermediary, except for you. I can't think of anyone else—those royal family advisers, although they can identify the books and their ages. But the contents of them are not You still need to identify it yourself!"

There was an apology in Dean's words.

This kind of apology is very sincere, because, as the archduke swordsman said, after handing over most of the work to the other party and Lauder, he took Leni, and Chad and Maher led a team , I went to visit Mask, Horseshoe and Shield Town, and only quietly returned last night.

Although this kind of inspection cannot be too easy, compared to the archduke swordsman who swears by his real name: only identifying, not knowing how to practice, and not telling others about these unknown secret arts and secrets, it is really easy.

Just looking at the archduke's swordsman's red eyes and messy hair, Dean can imagine the hard work involved.

Even if the Grand Duke's swordsman is knowledgeable about secret arts and esoteric teachings, the energy consumption involved is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people after dialectizing one by one.

If it was an ordinary person, he would have already passed out due to lack of energy by this time.

"I am willing to copy a copy of the secret technique I have obtained for you - this is my gift, and it does not violate your oath!"

Dean said very seriously.

"I didn't mean that, I just..."

"You deserve it! Believe me, I'm not mistaken, I know something else should have happened when you came to me! And I just think you deserve this—or you can add to your library!"

Dean waved his hand to show his position.

The archduke swordsman looked at Dean in a daze. When she clearly saw the sincerity in Dean's eyes, the swordsman couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and refused: "I won't accept it! Just helping a friend, and it doesn't need to be paid!"

Then, without waiting for Dean to say anything else, the Archduke Swordsman continued: "Earl Merry rejected the conditions we offered—he doesn't want to participate in the disputes in the Emerald City!"

"This is really bad news!"

Dean frowned and sighed.

Then, Dean saw the appearance of the archduke swordsman trying to comfort him, and immediately, Dean waved his hands and said: "No, no, it's okay, although this is bad news, it doesn't mean I'm disappointed ;After all, I have gained quite a lot with only half of the chips now!"

While speaking, Dean put down the book in his hand, and put it together with a book beside him——

"Steel Skin", "Iron Bone", "Repose"

ps first update~

The decadent dad wanted to go out to eat at noon, and the decadent also felt that the food in the hospital was not good, so he was going to take his dad out to eat, but he didn't expect to have to write a note...

The shame of being decadent, I don’t know how many years I haven’t written a leave note, and I have to let the little nurse teach me to write, and then, the little nurse said, “Your word…”

Decadence is even more embarrassing, and the face is red! !

There is no way, the words are too ugly! (to be continued...) ()
