The Emerald Tower

The town of Horn in recent days has been extremely lively.

It is not the shuttle of the merchants in the past, but the appearance of aristocrats. From the morning to the evening, the carriages of big men always appear at the entrance of Horn Town, and then head to the town. The center goes to visit the new lord of Horn town.

The attitude of every nobleman is respectful, even...to please.

This made the locals in Horn Town feel strange, because the appearance of these nobles was as if the owner of Horn Town had not changed, and he was still the second son of the Marquis.

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

At least the old Marquis is right!

Coupled with the previous news that Dean is already at the silver level, it made these locals take a long breath.

The new lord in front of him looks pretty good. Not only does he have considerable strength, he is not tyrannical, and seems to be very popular among other nobles. Isn't this a good thing for them?

Therefore, within a few days, the panicked people in Horn Town returned to normal and began to accept and face their new lord.

Of course, including the people around the new lord——

For example: Lord Lauder.

"Master Lauder, good day!"

The guards of Horn Town respectfully greeted Lauder who passed by.

"Everyone, good day!"

Lauder responded with a smile.

Then, he walked forward quickly-Lauder has always been kind to his own people, even if his feet are not touching the ground. He did not forget to respond with kindness.

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

As for being busy now?

Lauder was even more contented. He took the initiative to talk to the big people. Seeing those big people anxious but had to pretend to be plain on the surface, Lauder was very happy.

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

"Lord Lauder!"

A hello came from a distance, causing Lauder's fast pace to pause temporarily. Look there-a carriage with a family crest is stopping not far away, and a man is walking down from it.

"Viscount De'an, good day!"

Lauder leaned slightly, showing etiquette.

"Hey, Lauder, we are not friends, don't we need to?"

Viscount De'an, who served as an adviser to the Secretary of Military Affairs, looked at Lauder in surprise.

"Well, it's my fault, it won't happen 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.

"Drink? Of course no problem! But, this time I came with a mission... my boss. I want to ask, Lord Zelgaon—Of course, it’s not a big deal, it’s just emerald. The shops in the capital, originally belonging to the Pola family..."

The Lord Viscount spoke vaguely.

However, Lauder knew it in his heart, and he immediately laughed.

"Twenty-seven stores, more than half have been sold now, only a few are left!"

Lauder answered like this.

"Oh, yes! What about the two caravans?"

The Lord Viscount nodded, as if asking casually.

"This this……"

Lauder looked at each other with difficulty, but did not speak.

"Laud, aren't we friends?"

The Lord 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... I can only say-that Lord Custer and the County King Meri are very interested!"

At the following words, Lauder lowered his voice.

The Minister of Finance and the King of Merishire?

After hearing Lauder's answer, the viscount frowned, but he immediately let go. He smiled at Lauder and said, "Thank 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 Lord.

Then, he continued to walk towards the building where Dean was located; however, in the meantime, he was stopped by a few big figures from the Emerald Capital--or rather, representatives of big figures.

And, like the Viscount De'an, he had a friendly conversation.

Therefore, when Lauder walked into the lobby where Dean was, there were already five extra wallets on him. If he hadn't served as a tax officer before, I am afraid that these wallets would have made Lauder's "hard to move". After all, that The noise of the coins is really eye-catching.

"grown ups!"

Looking at Dean sitting on the sofa and flipping through some sort of secret technique, Lauder bowed and saluted, and took out the wallet, and then poured out all Kimpton in it.

"Good harvest!"

Dean retracted his gaze to look at the secret book in his hand, looked at the thick layer of Kimpton on the table, and couldn't help laughing.

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

While talking, Lauder repacked two-thirds of the Kimpton into the purse, put it on Dean's side, and put the remaining third into his pocket.

Although it was two-thirds less at once, Lauder didn't feel the slightest distress.

He knew very well why he was able to get these Kimptons, if he alone would not have such a gain in his life.

What's more, he knows more about what it will be like once he leaves Dean, those guys in Horsh County can't wait to peel themselves off and light the sky lantern.

Moreover, more importantly, his adults did not take all of them, leaving him one third.

And this is already a lot of wealth for him, who once only served as a tax officer!

Lauder, who can save his life and have wealth, is already loyal to Dean. More and more desperate.

"My lord. Today, five guys asked me about the two caravans...The Minister of Military Affairs was also involved!"

Lauder reported.

"Well. The Minister of Finance, the Secretary of Military Affairs, and the King of Merishire...I think we will get a good price!"

Dean smiled and nodded, then waved his hand.

Immediately, Lauder walked out.

Reporting to Dean is only part of Lauder's work, and there is more work that needs to be done by him.

After Lauder left, Dean once again looked down at the book in his hand that recorded the secret technique.

but. Before Dean could turn the page, the Grand Duke Swordsman hurriedly opened the door and walked in——

"Dean, I don’t think you should be here leisurely, but I haven’t rested for two busy days... The previous few days, you went to inspect other towns, and now you’re back, I think I can entrust you with the work of identifying secrets and secrets!"

The Grand Duke Swordsmanship was full of complaints, and he sat in front of Dean unceremoniously and said directly.

"Either I or the nobles who came to the transaction hope to have a fair middleman, except for you. I can't think of anyone else-those royal consultants, although they can identify books and ages. But the content is You still need to personally identify it!"

Dean's words contained apologies.

This kind of apology is very sincere, because, as the Grand Duke Swordsman said, after handing over most of the work to the opponent and Lauder, he took Leni, and Chad and Maher took a team of people. , I went to patrol the towns of Mask, Horseshoe and Shield, and returned quietly last night.

Although such a patrol could not be too easy, but compared to the swearing by his real name: the Grand Duke Swordsman who only identified, did not practice, and would not inform others of these unknown secret techniques and secrets, it was really easy.

Just looking at the long red eyes of the Grand Duke's swordsmanship and the slightly chaotic bun, Dean can imagine the hardship.

Even if the Grand Duke Swordsman is very knowledgeable about secret techniques and secrets, but dialectically one by one, the consumption of energy is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have been in a coma because of his lack of energy.

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

Dean said seriously.

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

"You deserve it! Believe me, I am not misunderstood, I know that something else should have happened when you came to me! And I just think you deserve this-or you can enrich your library!"

Dean waved his hand, showing his position.

The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at Dean in a daze. When she clearly saw the sincerity in Dean’s eyes, the Swordsman couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief and refused: "I won’t accept it! I’m just It's just helping a friend, and it doesn't require compensation!"

Then, without waiting for Dean to say anything, the Grand Duke Swordsman continued: "Earl Meili rejected our offer-he doesn't want to participate in the disputes in the Emerald City!"

"This is really bad news!"

Dean frowned ~www.readwn.com~ and sighed.

Then, Dean saw the appearance of the Grand Duke Swordsman trying to comfort him. Immediately, Dean waved his hand and said, "No, no, it’s okay. Although this is bad news, it doesn’t mean I’m disappointed. ; After all, I now only rely on half of the bargaining chips to get quite a gain!"

While talking, Dean put down the books in his hands, and placed them next to him one by one--

"Steel Skin Surgery", "Iron Bone Surgery", "Resting Surgery"
