I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 93 The Purpose of Keos

Resisting Dominic's words, Dickinson naturally couldn't continue to entangle, and could only leave with the team of high-level auras resentfully.

In fact, according to Keos's calculations, even if Dominic is not here today, Dickinson will not really attack and grab people.

As long as he hit Beishan Manor, the Marquis of Steel Heart had stepped on the red line of Shengyou Palace, and his honor points would be cleared.

He didn't think that the current situation would make the Marquis of Steel Heart willing to pay such a price, and Dickinson's contract servants would certainly not dare to make such a good claim.

But now that Dominique has come out to endorse, it can even strengthen the mark of Judge Pan De and Shengyou Palace on the Marquis of Steel Heart.

In the case that Judge Pan De expressed his favor to him first, he would not dream that he could get out of the related battles and vortexes. If you get involved in something, it is impossible to stay out of it.

Dominic came here last night. The person in charge of the Shengyou Palace who hunted down Guan Yaoxing and investigated the deaths of the three contracted servants of the Marquis of Steel Heart was the great magician Jaeger, so he left after telling Jaeger what he knew. film scene.

Dominic didn't go back to Yulang City, but went directly to Beishan Manor and stayed here for one night.

He told Kaios some information he knew to help him understand the motives of some actions of the Marquis of Steelheart.

According to Dominique, what the Marquis of Steel Heart wants most now is of course to be directly promoted from the Marquis of Sanye to the Grand Duke—as long as he becomes the Grand Duke, he can directly intervene in the major issues that determine the entire Holy Blessed Alliance.

So don’t look at hard power in many cases. There seems to be no big difference between the Marquis of Sanye and the Duke. Some Marquis of Sanye are even stronger than most dukes. But in the system of the Holy Blessed Alliance, the Marquis’ words are not as useful as the Duke’s. , the degree of freedom is not as great as the Duke, but it has to be handled by the Duke.

However, a lord without a knighthood wants to become a baron, or a baron is promoted to an earl, and an earl is promoted to a marquis. After the hard conditions are met, it is easy to pass, and then confer the title. Only the marquis wants to be promoted to the duke. "The results of the review can only be reviewed once every ten years, so the competition is very fierce.

Among all the six marquises in Yulang City, the Marquis of Steel Heart is definitely one of the most powerful, if not the strongest. However, if he is in the entire Holy Blessed Alliance, he is still not ranked, so he is eager to improve his hard power.

How to quickly improve strength?Of course, it directly annexed the resources of other lords.

However, the rules of the Holy Blessed Alliance do not allow rashly launching wars between lords for no reason, and lords with weaker strength will not go out of their way to provoke the Marquis of Steel Heart and give him enough reasons to start a war, so he has been I wanted to find an opportunity, but I couldn't find it.

Especially after Pan De, the presiding judge, came to Yulang City, he beat the Marquis of Steel Heart several times, gave him a warning, and even deducted his honor points from Shengyou Palace once.

The Marquis of Steel Heart certainly wanted to have a good relationship with Pan De. It can even be said that the previous generations of Marquis Steel Heart had tried to establish a good relationship with the previous judges of Yulang City, but none of them had achieved good results.

Speaking of this, Dominic laughed and said: "Joy Steele has always felt that Master Pender and Marquis Eriksson have a better personal relationship, or have some interest, so he deliberately 'suppressed' him. Before the 'Holy Law Church In that matter, one of the contracted servants of the Marquis Ericson was one of the important members of the Church of the Holy Law, and escaped the roundup of the Knights of Disciplinary Order. suppressed."

Hearing this, Keos asked "naturally" by the way, where is the indentured servant Rudy of Marquis Ericson now, and is there any clue, whether he is still wandering around Yulang City, or has escaped? We have arrived at the West End.

Dominique also doesn't know much about this, and it is speculated that he has already reached the western boundary.

If this is the case, Kaios is more at ease. First, if he is not in the Holy Blessing Alliance, it will be difficult for Rudy to coerce him with the fact that he has practiced the secret method of the undead. Second, before fulfilling the agreement with Guan Yaoxing and returning her to freedom , Keos told her that when he met Rudy, he would arrest him or help him kill him.

Guan Yaoxing himself has neither friendship nor enmity with the "Sacred Law Church", but helping Kaios is a matter of little effort.

After knowing that Joey and Marquis Eriksson were not getting along well, Kaios asked, "The Marquis of Steel Heart...has he applied for a war with Marquis Eriksson or other marquises?"

Hearing this question, Dominic immediately gave a "good question" expression, and said with a smile: "Not only have I never applied for a war with Eriksson or other Marquis, but I have never applied for an ordinary duel." , this Marquis of Steel Heart looks tough and ferocious in his actions, but he is actually very shrewd. He, his father, and grandfather have always applied for war. A lord with rich assets. In our Yulang City, at least five earls have been provoked by their past steel heart marquises and applied for war, but they have never passed the application when they came to Shengyou Palace."

Keos knows that this is not purely bullying, but a reality enough.

Fighting against a lord of the level of Marquis Erikson, it is of course a lot of benefits to win, but what if you lose?

And there is a greater possibility that there is no full-scale war, but a single battle, and a large amount of resources will be paid after losing.

Or in a full-scale war, but fail to tell the winner and loser, and the fight is invincible, it is tantamount to wasting resources, losing strength, and hurting both sides.

This runs counter to the Marquis of Steel Heart's idea of ​​annexing other lord resources and improving his strength to better compete for the duke's ranking.

So not only the Marquis of Steel Heart would not go to war with other Marquis, but the other Marquis would not take the initiative to fight him no matter how upset he was.

"However, Joey Steele is obviously not as tactful as his father and grandfather. After he inherited the title, he has been running for more than ten years, and the lords of the Earl of Yulang City have an intricate network of relationships. As long as you hit one of the profit nets, there will be a group of them, and behind every earl, at least one marquis can be implicated." Dominique said gloatingly.

"So it is unlikely that an all-out war at the earl level will break out in Yulang City in a short period of time?" Keos said.

"It seems that, at least Lord Pan De will not let this kind of thing happen in the past few years in Yulang City. But in the current Yulang City, as long as there is a big battle, it is likely to turn into a big melee. One When it comes to fighting, many lords have enough reasons to join the war, and Shengyou Palace has no reason to stop it." Dominique said.

However, Kaios caught the key word at once - "Lord Pan De has been in Yulang City for the past few years".

When Pan De communicated with him in private before, he also mentioned that during the "two years" when he was still in Yulang City, Kaios was promoted to be eligible to apply for the earl title as soon as possible.

Perhaps, Lord Pendor has foreseen that something might happen?
Dominique stayed at Beishan Manor for one night, and after helping repel Dickinson the next day, he had lunch with Keos before returning to Yulang City.

Caios could clearly feel that after the dinner at the Holy Blessing Palace that day, Dominique's attitude towards him had changed a little bit compared to before.

Dominic will take the initiative to tell him something about the preferences and habits of Judge Pan De, the unspoken rules of the Holy Blessing Palace, and the interest disputes at the level of the Marquis and Duke.

These changes were not accompanied by obvious changes in the light circle at the back of the head. It should be something that Judge Pan De said to him, or something he noticed.

In the next few days, Marquis Steel Heart's people didn't come to make trouble again, but he knew that it wasn't that Marquis Steel Heart couldn't take care of him for the time being, but that they were retaliating against him on another "battlefield".

The Marquis of Steel Heart had publicly participated in the purchase of the "Sheng Territory" before. In recent days, he has intensified his bidding and even raised the price on his own initiative. As a result, the price of the "Sheng Territory" that has not changed for many years has been raised at once. nearly 10%.

Pete, who was in charge of purchasing the "birth land", was worried about this situation, and even suggested that Kaios suspend land acquisition first.

Keos told him not to worry about the price, and continued to speed up the acquisition—because the first batch of 30 magic coupons he borrowed from Earl Vaux had already arrived.

As the price of Kaios and Marquis Steel Heart getting higher and higher, many other lords have also noticed this matter. After all, Marquis Steel Heart is one of the most famous lords even in the entire Holy Blessed Alliance. Land requisition, it's hard not to notice.

The data of the new magic plant is no secret now, as long as you want to explore it, you can learn it from the Shengyou Palace in various places.

The lords will also calculate and calculate how much income the new magic plant farm can bring, so more and more lords have begun to join the bidding for the "birth land".

The lord who originally held the "Life Territory" in his hand also knew about the new magic plant after discovering this abnormal situation, so he held the "Life Territory" in his hands and stopped selling it, or continued to increase the price.

Unknowingly, the price of "Life Territory" rose rapidly. One month later, it was nearly 80% higher than the price when Kaios first acquired the land, and the land that could be received became less and less.

There is not a trading market in the "Health Territory" that can be opened in the entire Holy Blessed Alliance. Pete bought land through the development briefings of the West and North Territories. Yulang City found nobles who had direct business dealings with those lords, and asked them to be responsible for delivering news and submitting purchase intentions, and then asked them to draw a certain commission.

The time difference between going back and forth was not a problem for a slow-moving trading product like "Life Territory".

But when there are lords in various places who mainly earn "living territories", this time difference is very important, not to mention that the price is constantly changing. If the price is to be negotiated at a distance, it will give other lords the opportunity to intervene in "cutting the barbarian". .

If you want to improve the efficiency of winning the "birth territory", you must give a relatively high premium from the beginning.

As a result, the market price of the "Life Territory" naturally rose rapidly and climbed steadily.

Pete, who actually carried out the purchase operation, is now full of sorrow. According to his calculations, no matter how you look at it, it is easy to lose money at the current purchase price.

"Master, there are fewer and fewer 'living lands' that can be bought now, and if you buy again, the price may be twice as high as the original one, which is not worthwhile. This price, look back It may be difficult to make a move!"

In the study, Pete couldn't help expressing his opinion again, which he had actually said before.

Kaios put down the documents in his hand, looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Then what if I don't take action?"

Although Pete was not very in favor of him purchasing the "Life Territory" in large quantities from the very beginning and focusing on new magic plants in the future, when it comes to actual implementation, he still does his best to do his best.

Kaios is also very satisfied with this conscientious and loyal old housekeeper—Peter, like Harvey, has a full blue halo now, and is the few people he trusts most in Beishan Manor except Salvera .

Hearing what Keos said, Pete was not relaxed, but even more worried: "Master, it is really not worthwhile to invest in magic coupons of this magnitude for the cultivation of magic plants! Wait until the new magic plant's planting territory starts to be exchanged." , to our development, and then to the harvest, it will take at least a few years to recover the investment, but your magic coupons... are borrowed!"

"Don't worry, Pete, I have my own plan." Keos said confidently.

After Pete left the study, he continued to flip through the documents in his hand.

This is a design drawing of a magic device. In the recent period, he has read hundreds of such design books, and has secretly purchased a large number of projects, studios, and factories that design magic devices.

Neither Pete, Presiding Judge Pan De, nor the Marquis of Steel Heart actually understood that the cultivation territory of the new magic plant was not the ultimate goal of his operation.

Even if Pete was to buy it with all his strength, up to now, including the "living territory" he bought before he asked Vaux to borrow the magic coupon, he only spent about 10 magic coupons in total.

The intervention of Marquis Steel Heart was actually what he wanted.

Three days later, Pete returned from Yulang City and brought back a piece of news.

There was a huge number of "life territories" and they wanted to sell them all. The other party took the initiative to find Pete and asked him to give them all for a lump sum of 7 yuan.

"Master, this price is basically 120% higher than when we first started collecting the 'birth territory' a few months ago... Moreover, before I left the city, the Great Magician Dominic stopped me and said that the Although the person I sold the 'Life Territory' is apparently the contracted servant of Earl Pierre of East Rock City, but in fact the 'Life Territory' I sold was in the hands of the Marquis of Steel Heart."

After listening to his report, Kaios couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, he said one word to Pete: "Accept."

Pete was stunned for a moment, greatly surprised, but in the end he didn't say anything. After saying yes, he left Beishan Manor and returned to Yulang City to complete the transaction.

During this period of time, he has said everything that should be said, and now he can only choose to believe the master.

……

In Yulang City, when Pete went to conduct the transaction with a total amount of 7 magic coupons, Qian Cang Lixiao was also in the inner city, looking for some "business opportunities" in his memory.

During this period of time, she was in a very good mood. Guan Jianshen, who almost changed his original fate because of her influence, finally returned to the right track.

And Guan Jianshen, just like the historical trajectory in her previous life, escaped by herself, and killed several top-level and high-level powerhouses by the way, and did not let her spend a huge amount of magic coupons to find Baron Kaios to "redeem" people".

This gave her the feeling that "history will correct the changes she brought".

Recently, she heard the news that the price of the "Life Territory" is going up crazily and selling like hot cakes, and she couldn't help but think of the original history. After the launch of the new magic plant in Shengyou Palace this time, it did lead to a wave of buying new magic plant farms. upsurge.

But according to her memory, this upsurge should have started after the new magic plant had matured and harvested several times, and many lords had experienced the outbreak of the new magic plant's yield, right?
The time should be more than a year later. How could someone stir up the "birth territory" now that the new magic plant is not in the preparation period?
Although Lixiao was very curious about the price increase of the "Life Territory", she just inquired about who was speculating, and she didn't dare to participate. With her small capital, she couldn't afford the large investment and remittance cycle of magic planting. For a long-term project, it is enough to get a piece of land later and build a residential area for the local people.

However, the matter of the "birth territory" also reminded her of another "business opportunity" in her previous life, so she rushed to "lay out" in advance.
