Lord of the North

"My lord, the property in the castle has been counted. I think we can retreat." In the town of Viscount Tours, Gareth came to Jason and said.

"Yeah." Jason nodded, and glanced at Eve who had been by Gareth's side, really...

"Then let's go first, thank Viscount Tours for his hospitality." Then he turned around and said to the pale Viscount Tours with a smile.

"Go slowly on the road, my lord."

The other party responded to him with a stiff smile, which was like crying, because he knew that his days of living comfortably in the past were over, because Jason, Viscount Lyon and others left five hundred soldiers in his territory to replace him The former private soldiers and even his guards were replaced by Jason's men.

In addition, he signed a resource transfer contract. In the future, he would have no reason to go to the noble council to sue him.

Moreover, he also ceded the land deeds of several villages near Tieyaling to Jason, and from then on, these villages have only been related to him in name.

Jason has not planned to completely oppose the kingdom, because at this time the capital has not planned to tear him apart. His prince status is at least useful on the bright side, so he can't kill Viscount Tours. , but it is still possible to control him.

Due to the inconvenient transportation and the slow flow of news, the kingdom's management of this place has always been very weak, so it is common for the lords to fight each other.

Viscount Tours is now heartbroken, because he has completely lost his freedom, and all future income from the territory will go into the treasury of Jason, Viscount Lyon and others, so now he regrets his original decision.

"Finally, a small problem has been solved." Jason spit out after leading his troops out of the town. Although the spoils this time were to be distributed reasonably among the eight lords including the Viscount Lyon, they were obtained from the territory of the Viscount of Tours. Some minerals and specialty products can also bring a lot of help to the development of iron teeth collar.

"Go and inform the Viscount Leon, and I will entertain them in Iron Fangling's castle after I return." Then he said to Gareth at the side, that this kind of thing is the most appropriate for Gareth to do.

"Yes, my lord."

"My lord, what should we do next?" Langnart asked in a deep voice, because this would create a conflict with Earl Diall behind Viscount Tours, and it would be inevitable to have conflicts with him in the future.

"Of course we have to cut the grass by the roots." Jason said with a smile.

"However, we can only defeat Earl Diai's army if we gather the Viscount Leon's soldiers together."

This kind of battle with a scale of nearly 10,000 people can easily arouse the vigilance of those in the royal city, and it will be troublesome at that time.

"It's okay, I have a way to deal with it." Jason said with a smile. Originally, he planned to slowly encroach on the territory of the Viscount Tours, and he didn't plan to be so aggressive with the Earl of Diai, but the arrival of the Marquis of Asa Bring him a quicker solution to these troubles.

"When we solve Earl Diai, I will personally go to the noble council in Lucca." Each region has a noble council composed of noble members, and they have established a local noble court.

"Should we attack Earl Diai now?" Lang Nat asked suspiciously, whether he would be a little anxious.

"Of course not." Jason waved his hand, and he seemed a little anxious to call immediately. If there is no accident, Earl Diai has almost lost an army just now, and he should be temporarily on alert, but when this time passes After that, if there is no sign of the enemy's appearance, his soldiers will become slack, and that is the best time to attack him.

………………

"Viscount Lyon, what kind of gift should we prepare when we go to the banquet?" On the other side, Viscount Zach rushed to Viscount Lyon immediately after receiving Jason's invitation.

Viscount Zack is an ordinary-looking person,

It's just that he is a bit tall, with thick calluses on his hands. He seems to be a person who often practices swordsmanship, but if he is replaced by the expensive chain armor on his body, it is difficult to imagine that he is a nobleman.

But this ordinary-looking person with little temperament agreed without hesitation when he was invited by the Viscount Lyon to join Jason's camp, and he also took the initiative to invite a few nobles with the Viscount Lyon to join their chariot .

This kind of person is either a fool or a very courageous guy.

As for why they came to discuss with the Viscount Lyon, the reason is very simple. At this time, their alliance is still in the honeymoon period, and the gifts they prepare should preferably have little difference in value. If there is a gap in the gifts, everyone will look bad.

"It's better to be ordinary." The Viscount Lyon thought for a while and replied.

"Would it be disrespectful to Lord Marquis?" Viscount Zack asked hesitantly.

"Probably not. I heard that this lord is not the kind of nobleman who likes extravagance." Viscount Lyon said, a nobleman with a high status and a prince of the kingdom, the castles of such people are very simple, which can only show that he doesn't like it very much. Luxuriously gorgeous.

Little did he know that Jason didn't like luxury because he was poor. He was once so poor that he had to sell the luxury goods in the castle to maintain the operation of the territory.

The Viscount Lyon suddenly thought of his daughter who seemed to have said that the Marquis seemed to like the useless decorations like star stones very much.

Well, the taste is quite unique, isn't this kind of thing generally liked by girls?

"If there are more star stones, the effect may be better." So he added.

"Star Stone?"

Viscount Zac scratched his hair, what is this? It seems that I have never heard of it.

"It is a relatively rare gem, but it is similar to ordinary stones during the day, and its special features can only be seen at night, so there are relatively few people who collect it, but the Marquis prefers it." Viscount Leon looked at Zach's appearance Just knew he hadn't heard of it.

Because Viscount Zack is the kind of person who doesn't like to enjoy himself, his castles are very ordinary, and there are not many decorations in the castle, and his wife doesn't have many gorgeous ornaments. rich.

So he didn't know much about these decorations.

"Oh, so, can I buy this kind of stone in nearby towns?" Viscount Zack suddenly realized, and then asked again.

"It's a bit difficult." The Viscount Lyon shook his head. There are too few people who buy this kind of stone. Unless they like it very much, few people buy it, so these merchants generally don't buy it deliberately.

And I heard that Lord Marquis secretly sent people to buy it in various markets in the north, but they didn't find anything, so maybe this kind of stone is rare in the north.

Most of the ore veins on the mainland are in the south, and the number of ore veins in the northern countries is actually not large, barely enough for their own use, so rare associated mines such as star stones are even rarer.

"Don't worry too much about it, it's fine if you want it." Viscount Leon looked at Viscount Zac who was in trouble, and not only shook his head, but said, this guy is really brainless.
