Southland, Earl of Hosman.

The tall and robust Count Karlov Horsman sat in his reception room and looked at the guests who were visiting.

As one of the most powerful land aristocrats in the South, Karlov Holsman has always been proud of his family name and excellent family lineage.

His family was originally a member of the Hosman family in the plains of the Holy Spirit. A hundred years ago, his visionary ancestors realized the true direction of the foggy civil war and won himself in response to the action of the "Northern Crown Prince". The glory of the ancestors who had no inheritance rights after the establishment of the Second Dynasty, the royal family was sealed, so that the family obtained a piece of their own land in the South, and became a landlord of the Earl class, from that day until the future In the past 100 years, the Horsman family in the South has maintained prosperity and prosperity.

This undoubtedly illustrates the excellence of the family lineage, and explains the importance of the "vision and insight" trait to the family. Karlov Holsman always keeps this in mind, so he always keeps his eyes open, cautious and I am keenly aware of everything that happened on this land, not only on my own land, but also on the entire southern land.

After the resurrection of the founding father, his eyes never left Cecil.

Since the foggy month of a hundred years ago, the royal family has always deliberately controlled the development of the southern region. The ancient and large Cecil family is like a giant beast. Even if it collapses overnight, its remains are still strong. The power of the king, in order to prevent the aristocrats who still loyal to the surname of Cecil, stir up the situation, the royal family divided the land more than once in a hundred years, and almost turned all the southern nobles into the royal vassals, and controlled The noble title on this land is only up to the count, and the Count of Hosman has been one of the highest aristocrats on this land for a hundred years, but this situation was broken less than a year ago. .

There is a "duke" in the south.

Although the Duke did not immediately return to his land, he did not make any claims about the contemporary aristocratic system in the South, but ran to the Dark Mountain Range with only the title of the title, but Kalov The Count of Hosman has never relaxed his vigilance against the founding hero who died and resurrected. He has a keen sense of smell and can smell a different taste from the series of actions of the Duke. It is a hidden ambition and threat.

"The news that can be heard now is this," said the guest in front of him. "The spies we sent have been successfully mixed into an organization called the '25th Production and Construction Brigade', according to the words invented by the resurrection Duke. It is a 'secret construction department'. According to the information possessed by the spy, this department directly accepts the order of the lord and undertakes the highest level of territorial construction tasks, so the news should be reliable and of great value."

"Good... Mr. Green, the spy you trained didn't disappoint me," said Karlov Holsman, with a slight disappointment, and then frowned slightly. "So... the Govin? The Duke of Cecil is at hand." Is there a very powerful weapon? And maybe it is provided by the elf?"

"Yes, they use this weapon to deal with the monsters wandering in the wasteland."

"The silver elves are the builders of the magnificent walls. They are not strange to the weapons against the waste monsters, but they bypassed the Ansu royal family and directly contacted the Duke of Govin? Cecil and assisted the weapons... this is a bit weird. "Karof Horsman gently tapped the table and thought about the hidden truth during this period. "It seems that as I thought, the founding duke is not a 'good neighbor'..."

"Maybe we should act as early as possible to control the development of Cecil's collar," said the middle-aged thin man, known as Mr. Green, with a gloomy smile. His gloomy temperament is more gloomy with this smile, black. The eyes covered with hair shimmered with cold light. "The Viscount Leslie has clearly turned to the Cecil family. Kant is now more substantively under the control of the Cecil family, the dead and resurrected. Is unknowingly infiltrating and controlling the land that once belonged to him."

"But it doesn't belong to him now," Earl Karlov snorted. "But we can't move too clearly. He's still the Duke of the kingdom, at least nominally and legally, in this case, the first jump. Those who come out against him will not benefit from the final result."

"He is indeed the Duke of the kingdom and the jurisprudence of the jurisprudence, but who wants the 'Duke' to exist? You don't want, the Viscount Carol does not want, the Princess of Glan does not want, even our King will leave him. I don't want it, but everyone must behave in awe of a founding ancestor," Mr. Green smiled slightly. As a consultant for Count Carlov, he was quite aware that his discerning friend was thinking about it. What, "We can't confront the founding heroes positively, which is detrimental to your reputation, but we can contact others and make some preparations in advance..."

Listening to the advice of the consultant, the expression on the face of Karlov Holsman slowly became soothing.

"There is another thing," Mr. Green said after the end of the discussion. "There was a recent incident from Leslie that called ‘Magic Net’...”

"Magic net?" Karlov frowned slightly. "What is that?"

"A magical device, or something like a magical device, can take advantage of the free magic in nature, which is many times more efficient than the traditional self-charged array. It can stably power some devices that need to consume magic. For example, the magic spar lamp," Green explained. "You should have guessed it. It first appeared on the head of Cecil. The Govin? The magician under the Duke of Cecil created it, and then with Sethi. The Priest Lesley, who was very close, bought the technology in this area. However, the Viscount Leslie apparently wanted to recover some of the money..."

Count Carlof Hossman couldn't help but smile: "Any loyalty is limited, as long as the price is right. Is this something called the magic net worth?"

"The value is great, especially with a device called the 'magic engine'," Green said. "The magic engine is a magical item that can replace human work and is endless. It is also the leader of Cecil. The product, which is expensive, but worth the strength of dozens of slaves, and staying up late to work, is not exhausted. I have sent people to Tanzan town to investigate the situation, my statement is no exaggeration."

Earl of Karlov: "Is there such a powerful magical prop? Is the resurrection of the Duke selling this thing to the Viscount Leslie?"

"Obviously, the duke was very short of money after the resurrection," Mr. Green said with a smile. "Of course, I guess he must have a reservation for sale. After all, no one wants to hand over valuable magical props to others. But our spies in Tanzan town have succeeded in establishing contact with the people of Leslie Lesley. They have a way to secretly get a batch. As you said, any loyalty is limited, as long as the price is right."

"Very good, think of a way to get a so-called 'magic engine', and what else... Magic net, also find a way to get it," Earl Karlov took the initiative, he has seen from these two things The potential value, the timely release is the excellent character of the Hosman family. "There is no need to worry about the gold coins you need. It is the most important thing to get the magical mystery of Cecil."

Green smiled: "You will get what you want."

In the lord's house of Cecil, Gao Wen read the letter in his hand and smiled and looked up at Amber: "You guess what the neighbor who lives in Tanzan town said?"

Amber glanced at the letter, and the letter of the Leslie family could be seen in the corner of the letterhead. But she did not read the content and said casually: "There have been other southern aristocrats who have contacted him recently, intending to buy a magic engine, right?" ”

Gao Wen looked at Amber a little unexpectedly: "How do you know?"

"I am the director of the Military Security Intelligence Agency! Secretary!" Amber suddenly blinked and pointed at his nose. "You personally appointed, Mom, you won't forget it..."

Gao Wen quickly rushed back to the head of Amber, and put his hand on it: "I haven't forgotten, of course, no network. I didn't think you actually worked. Every day, what you are doing is to find each one. The department is simmering rice, and the rest of the time is all messing with me. I am still doing something for you."

amber:"……"

The half-elf squint stared at Gao Wen for a long time, and then thought that she couldn’t beat it anyway, but she went back to the road: “In addition to the magic engine, I also received information about several territories in the western part of the South. There are rudimentary magic nets or clues related to the magic net. Some noble lords are recruiting rune craftsmen and runesmen, others are recruiting magicians at high prices, and then according to the circulation direction of 'magic net' intelligence, I judge those localities. The lord has bought or stolen some of the information on the magic net and is trying to copy it."

"The magic net has begun to spread... It is slower than I thought, but considering the impact of winter, this speed is not bad," Gao Wen thought and nodded. "The Viscount Andrew is also working hard."

Gao Wenyi mentioned the Viscount Andrew, Amber could not help but rolled his eyes: "You also said that before the Viscount Andrew sneaked and sneaked to buy the technicians you sent, and spent a lot of money in half of your pocket, no It’s easy for people to steal school. You suddenly sent a messenger to say that the magic net can be sold. Not only can you sell it, but you can even let him sell it as an agent to a farther place... Are you so crowded? ”

"I didn't want to hang him at first, but let him have to do some small moves," Gao Wen reluctantly spread his hand. "The most troublesome thing I have to deal with the nobles of this era is this. It can be done brightly." Business, everyone is good, but you have to interpret yourself to think about it. But I believe that Leslie will accept the lesson after this... To do business with Cecil, the rules are different from others."
