After sending Edwin out of his room, neither of them could hide the smile on their faces.

They each looked at each other at the door and laughed heartily almost at the same time, and this scene of joy and joy of the guests and hosts proved that the conversation between the two men had just achieved a very satisfactory result for both parties.

In fact, Duke's request was very simple, and now that the other party was in this situation, he was not morally willing to take advantage of the danger of others to deprive him of too much, although at first he startled Edwin when he said that there were additional conditions.

Duke's request is to be able to share information with Edwin, as a good duke who can survive between the two places, Edwin has a good network and intelligence base between the two countries.

And what Duke lacks most now is information on the direction of action of distant empires and other countries, he is now almost nested in the most remote corner of the continent, very closed, and he probably can't get news when the empire dies that day.

So even if there is a very long distance between him and Edwin, even if Edwin promises to build a special messenger passage that is dedicated to walking between the two places, he can use very expensive and fast griffon messengers in case of emergency. This is almost the top operation, and it takes at least two days for Duke to get the latest news.

However, with the news, even if it is expired, it can at least let Duke know some international information, and will not become blind and deaf in the sense of intelligence.

Even with this information, he may be able to follow Edwin's influence in foreign countries to develop his cement business into an international business, so as to make money on the entire continent, and then the meaning of this information will be more than just watching the news.

Similarly, in order to repay Edwin for his generosity and help in this matter, Duke took the initiative to reduce the price so that he only needed to pay a slightly higher price by the church to get a sufficient amount of cement, and secretly said that if it was not enough, he could continue to increase the amount and price, which made Edwin even more overjoyed.

Therefore, there is a scene where the two people are very happy when they leave after the negotiation.

"You go back to the office, and remember to go out the back door. ”

After everything was done, Duke had basically finalized the work arrangements for today and after with several of his ministers, so he asked Vlavich to go back to work in the administrative hall by himself, and specially reminded him to go to the back door that had not yet been discovered by the crowd outside.

With the passage of time, the crowd around the outside has shrunk a little, but there is still a big gap from the previous normal situation, and the impact on normal office and daily life is still quite large.

"Okay, I'm ready to leave. Vlavich stood up and picked up the coat hanging in the doorway and asked, "Are we going to the anvil's workshop tomorrow morning?"

The previous discussion was put on hold because Duke was going to let his two ministers see the new thing he had made with the anvil, and Vlavich had always been curious about this, so he couldn't help but ask more before leaving.

"Okay, you can also inform Joseph later, and you will come here and wait for me tomorrow after breakfast, and we will go to the workshop outside the city together. ”

Seeing that he was so curious, Duke couldn't help but smile and nodded and agreed with him to meet tomorrow, then stood up and sent him out of his room.

Seeing that the room had fallen silent again, and that there was nothing to attend to on his desk, Duke yawned and walked to the window behind him, and looked down through the cracks in the curtains to see the pomp and circumstance outside.

But soon he felt that it was not interesting, stretched the curtain and rolled over to the bed, and began to continue to create the illusion that he was sick in bed, and soon fell asleep.

...............

The next day Duke woke up feeling refreshed, and the people outside restricted his movements, and he happily slept in his room for almost the whole day.

He hadn't slept so comfortably since he had come into this world, and if he had dared to do so, he would have been called up by Lenia or Vlavic to tell him not to be so decadent.

It's just that after being hung out for a day, the people around outside basically understood Duke's attitude, and now they have all dispersed to find other ways and channels to meet Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and no longer look for a breakthrough from Duke's side.

This made Duke feel a little regretful in his heart, and sure enough, happy days were always unusually short and difficult to keep.

"Lord, the two adults are already waiting in the hall. ”

As soon as he had finished breakfast, the guards came to report that Vlavich and Joseph had finished preparing and were waiting for him in the hall early.

Duke chuckled and straightened his clothes, and walked briskly down the hall as he told the guards to go to the stables to get their carriages ready.

"Good day, lord. ”

When the two ministers saw Duke coming out of the stone gate, they immediately greeted him.

Duke greeted them one by one and nodded, and then extended an invitation to them: "It's a little cold in the morning, how about you go in my carriage together?"

As autumn gets deeper, the weather naturally gets colder, especially now in the morning when the sun hasn't come out.

The cold that had accumulated overnight was no longer invading people's bodies all the time, and the original autumn clothes were not able to resist it.

At this time, riding a horse and galloping on the empty plain in the autumn wind like a bone scraper can really be said to be a sinful thing.

"Of course we do, we're still talking about it on the road!"

Hearing his lord's invitation, Joseph hurriedly accepted Duke's invitation before Vlavich refused, and his fat could not give him warm protection.

And Vlavich had his own carriage, which he didn't have, so he rushed him to make a move before he spoke, even if he was glared at by Vlavic fiercely.

"Okay, okay, so we can talk in the car, right, it's too lonely to travel alone. ”

Seeing the secret rivalry between Joseph and Vlavic, Duke smiled and shook his head to help Joseph say a few words, and when he looked up, he saw his guards leading the carriage over.

"Well, I'm very curious about what you're saying, you can talk to us on the way, and I don't think Vlavich would mind hearing it. ”

After Joseph received the lord's permission, he looked at Vlavich with a wink, leaving the other party helpless but unable to refute.

"You'll know when the meeting comes. ”

Duke laughed, but he deliberately bought a pass.
