Alan skimmed through the contents of the letter, and Siden first lamented Field's death, and then praised Osman's abilities.

At the same time, thanking her for her last-minute companionship to Field, the Peters House Council of Elders decided to give Othman a certain reward, and hoped that she would make greater contributions to the family, and deliberately reserved a place for her in the Council of Elders.

After reading the contents of the letter, Alan couldn't help but chuckle.

Although he was not well versed in the communication between nobles, he was not a fool, and although the letters were full of praise and promised benefits to Osman, there was not a single mention of Baron Osman.

Apparently the presbyterian would forcibly squeeze her out of the baron's seat.

"What the hell is this Council of Elders?"

Generally, the structure of the baronial family is very simple, and there is no such position as an elder at all, but Alan is very curious.

"The Council of Elders has seven elders, who are in charge of the chambers of commerce in various parts of the Peters family, and control the economy and force of the branches. They relied on the name of the Peters family to gain some respect and a voice.

In return, they will also serve the family and hand over a part of the benefits. ”

O's explanation made Alan even more puzzled, "According to what you said, then the Council of Elders should be attached to the Peters family, why does it still have so much power?"

"The contract signed by the Peters family a long time ago is that if the baron can't bring them benefits, the seven elders will unite to squeeze him out of the chamber of commerce, and even if the baron doesn't hand over the title, he will become a down-and-out nobleman. ”

The territory of the Peters family is not as vast as that of the ordinary baronial family, and the cultivated land is small, and if there is no capital input from the Chamber of Commerce, then the glory and wealth will disappear.

That's why Field has amassed so much gold, and he's been plotting to get out of the Peters House Elders' control.

"So it looks like this council of elders has to go?"

"If I don't go, they will probably unite the entire Chamber of Commerce to put pressure on me, and then Peters will be like a carriage with wheels unloaded, unable to move forward."

And most importantly, I don't want to give you one such Peters, otherwise it will limit the next development. ”

When he said this, Ou Siman's expression was extremely serious, which touched everyone's hearts, and Alan was also slightly moved.

"Okay, then I'll go with you to meet them. ”

However, as soon as he finished saying this, Ou Siman took a sip of the flower tea in the cup and added,

"Mainly, I have to rely on the Chamber of Commerce to earn money to buy materials, and the spiritual runes waiting for you to make, I feel that it is a bit fantastical to want to become a real wizard according to my qualifications. ”

“......”

......

The setting sun hung a golden outfit on the majestic walls of Grey Wing City, making Alan unconsciously block his hand in front of him.

The last time he was here was when Horn took him to the Earl's birthday party with Fanny.

The distance between Golden Spike Fort and Gray Wing City is not close, and I set off early in the morning, and I didn't see the shadow of Gray Wing City until the afternoon, and when I arrived at the city gate, the guards had already changed their guards and were ready to close the city gate.

"Let's go into town. ”

The carriage continued on its way, and when it reached the city gate, the guards made a simple routine inspection, and after collecting some fees to enter the city, everyone set foot on the stone road of Gray Wing City.

Before coming, Alan specially ordered the family crest seal on the carriage to be removed, and he and Ou Siman only brought Hannah, Crescent and Cobb with them, and the group looked very low-key.

However, this was Allen's deliberate appearance of hiding his whereabouts, because he knew that Osiman would not be able to hide from Xi Deng's eyes in Grey Wing City no matter what, so he pretended to be cautious, and then exposed himself to those elders in Grey Wing City.

In this way, Siden would let his guard down thinking that everything was in his hands, and Alan arranged for Locke to go around the gate on the other side and enter the city in batches.

Sure enough, not long after Allen's carriage stepped into the city gate, the crescent moon found that someone was following them, and Cobb wanted to go up and finish them out, but was stopped by Allen.

He and Osiman were going to be exposed to Sidden's eyes eventually, so the tracking of these people had nothing to do with it.

At Allen's suggestion, everyone ignored the people who were following them, and began to wander around the city while most of the shops were still closed.

Under the leadership of Osimman, Alan visited all the places in Gray Wing City that sold magic materials in a short period of time, and waited until it was almost dark to find a tavern to settle down.

It wasn't long before a record of their whereabouts in Greywing City was placed on the Peters Family Chamber of Commerce's backyard, on Sidon's desk.

After reading the report on the table, Owen frowned, "This person is Allen who conspired with Ou Siman?"

"According to the description in the message I got, it should be. ”

Siden teased the caged bird, seemingly unconcerned about what Allen was.

"Then what is he doing here? Aren't you afraid that I will kill him?!"

"Just you?"

Siden snorted lightly, with some disdain in his words,

"The news says that Eren is a second-level mage, and a fireball can blow people away. ”

"What about the mage, a sword piercing the heart still can't live. ”

Owen's words made Sidden very helpless, if it weren't for his promise to divide the interests of the Red Leaf City Chamber of Commerce, Siden really didn't want to deal with him.

But on second thought, if Owen was too smart, he wouldn't dare push him to the top.

"Hannah's strength is close to level six, with her, who around you can come close to him?"

Siden's rhetorical question made Owen instantly speechless, and he could only have an empty expression of resentment.

"Don't worry, even if Alan comes, he can't do anything, after all, this is the Elders of the Peters family, everything is up to me, and he can't control anything at all. ”

Seeing Owen's appearance, Siden was afraid that there was something abnormal about him, and continued to comfort: "And I don't think you should resent Alan, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to become a baron so soon, so you don't need to be an enemy with him at all." ”

"Heh, I'm not enemies with him, can I still be friends?"

"Absolutely. ”

Siden sat down in his chair and persuaded Owen with a kind smile on his face,

"Child, you have to remember that the only bond between two people to cooperate with each other is always interests, as long as you give him more benefits than your sister, that Alan will definitely cooperate with you. ”

Siden's words made Owen's heart shine, but he didn't catch it, so he asked, "I don't know what you mean......

"If that Eren forcibly interferes with our decision, then you can try to cede some of the useless territories of the Peters family to him......"

Owen immediately jumped up and shouted, "What?!"

"Don't get so excited, I'm just saying if. ”

Siden smiled nonchalantly and comforted Owen, "You have to remember that the Peters family doesn't value those useless territories, as long as there are enough benefits, they can exchange ......"
