Chapter 15: Superficial Friendship

Alan lay leisurely on the chaise longe.

According to Andy's description, Alan probably knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Baroness Ironclad, formerly known as Barbara Hugo, is the sister of Baron Jean Hugo, Baron of Wood Vine, and when Baron Currit was made an Ironclad, on the recommendation of Viscount Bernard, Baron Jean married his own sister Barbara to Curit.

On the basis of marriage, the two territories traded with each other, and in the future, the caravans of the Muto Territory would frequently take the iron and stone to lead, which was one of the reasons why Baron Jean agreed to marry Curit.

Here Alan couldn't help but sigh, Viscount Bernard was far-sighted and attached great importance to Curit, first sealed the ironstone collar to Curit, and the ironstone collar sealed the long-term business channel of the wooden rattan collar, and then personally went down to the court to recommend Curit, so that Curit and the wooden rattan collar married, which not only accelerated the development of the ironstone collar, but also made it easy for Curit to integrate into the aristocratic system of the entire viscountdom.

Currit was given a fief because he relied on his sister, and he was made a baron for his merits, and even if other barons didn't express it, they would inevitably have pimples in their hearts, and it would be difficult for Currit to integrate into the original aristocratic system.

And Viscount Bernard asked Baron Currit to marry Barbara as his wife, and he also took a fancy to the status of the wooden rattan in the viscountdom, because of the existence of the firewood vine, the wooden rattan led by the rapid development of the firewood vine, and the strength is already the second largest barony in addition to the jujube wood collar, with the endorsement of Baron Jean and Viscount Bernard, it is difficult for Curit to think about it, unless he can't think of looking for death.

Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Alan squinted, and he also tasted the main intention of Viscount Berner in this matter, and sure enough, it is indeed not easy for someone to be a viscount.

If Viscount Bernard wants to stabilize the rule of the viscounty, he must not only be strong himself, but also have the allegiance of many barons in the territory, even if it is superficial.

Let Currit marry the Hugo family, there is also Viscount Berner's consideration, Currit has the support of the Hugo family, and it also shows the union of the Muteng Collar and the Iron Stone Collar in disguise, and he has the support of the Hugo family, plus his eldest son's jujube wood collar, the territory is solid.

The wooden rattan collar, the iron stone collar and the viscount under the direct jurisdiction of Viscount Berner concentrated the entire half of the strength, and Alan had to admit that it was difficult to break the situation even if he was in this situation.

Alan shook his head, a hint of schadenfreude on his face.

It's a pity! Viscount Bernard had a perfect plan, but he undercounted Baron Curitt's character. With the hot sale of ore, in less than seven years, the strength of the iron and stone collar is no longer equal to that of the wooden rattan collar.

The growth of the Ironstone Collar not only strengthened the reputation of the Ironstone Collar, but also strengthened the morale of Baron Curitt. From an obscure commoner to an admirable baron, Currit is proud of his life, but nothing is perfect, such as Curit's wife Barbara.

Barbara, as the younger sister of Baron Kitorei, did not marry Baron Curit until she was 20 years old, not because she had a high vision or was unwilling to marry, but the fact was that she really couldn't get married.

After all, marrying a commoner is not the right door, marrying a nobleman, but no one wants to, after all, the barons do not want to talk about their sons being pushed into the fire pit.

After all, Miss Barbara is famous for her weight of 300 pounds, and if the noble lady eats fat, her family will tell her, 'If you eat again, you will become Barbara'.

So in everyone's opinion, Barbara's marriage to the ugly Curritt is a real match, but Curitt doesn't think so.

His life is also extremely perfect, except that he did not break through the knights, and the most annoying thing for him is his wife Barbara.

In the first few years, Currit was still pretending, but as the strength of the territory grew, Curit didn't even bother to pretend, and he wouldn't share a bed with Barbara every day.

This was also the beginning of the break between Baron Currit and Mu Fuji Ling, at the end of last year, Barbara could no longer stand this kind of treatment, and secretly ran back to Mu Fuji Ling to cry to Baron Hugo, Baron Jean learned that he was furious and quarreled with Curriet.

Unexpectedly, this quarrel aroused all the anger of Curit in the past few years, and he directly stuck the caravan of Mu Teng Ling in his heart, as long as he passed from the territory, he would collect 20% of the tax, which required Mu Teng Ling of course not to agree, but for the sake of the caravan trade, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, so the relationship between the two territories became worse and worse, and it has continued to this day.

However, for the sake of the faces of the nobles on both sides, there was no rumor on either side, which is also the reason why Alan didn't know, this news was still heard by Eda from his sister, which was quite reliable, because he hadn't seen the baroness for several months, which means that Barbara was very likely to really return to the Muteng.

Looking at Andy standing next to him, Alan said: "Send the intelligence officers of the Iron and Stone Collar to inquire about the exact time of the caravan to transport the fire vine clothes, and once it is confirmed, report it in time." ”

"Yes, Lord Baron. Andy seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything after all, and turned to leave the hall.

Alan inquired about the reason why the Muteng led the caravan was to work hard from the caravan to light the fuse of the two territories, and every month the Muteng Leader would use the vine silk of the firewood and vine in his territory to make the fire rattan clothes used by the knights, and then bring them to the Elemental Chamber of Commerce to sell.

Wiping the wine glass in his hand, Alan put it on the table, calculating that today is the third day of July, there are still two months before the wheat planting time, there is still a month and a half before the first batch of giant frogs mature, and there is still half a month before the seven mares are produced.

No other people were summoned to help, and in order to keep it a secret, in addition to Alan and the Charles family, there were only a few guards guarding Flame Mai who knew that their lord had magical plants.

Alan decided to go and pick all the ripe flame wheat fruits alone, and without the help of others, Alan picked them very slowly, because he could not harvest them in the same way as ordinary wheat, and Alan could only take them one by one.

"Bumble! babble!" Seeing Alan busy picking the flame wheat, Baba curiously spun around the top of Alan's head.

After a while, Xiao Yi also began to learn from Allen's appearance, picking the fruit one by one, and sending it to Allen like a treasure.

After a while, probably feeling too tired from picking flame wheat, Xiao Baba began to lie motionless on top of Allen's head, opening his eyes to look at Allen from time to time.

Alan didn't care about the little babbling on the top of his head, and picked up the flame wheat as much as he could.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

"Bah...... Bah!"

Xiao Bai shouted impatiently, only to see that with Xiao Bai's scream, the flame wheat mother plant began to emit a rich fire element to the entire flame wheat, and after absorbing the flame wheat, the flame wheat in the wheat field began to cut off its own ears of wheat, and under the leadership of the fire element flow, it gathered into a pile and piled it up in front of Allen.

Alan stood there dumbfounded, looking stunned at this time, he didn't expect that Mai Ling still had this effect, and he could collect fruits by himself, but he didn't know if Xiao Yi could do this or if other plant spirits had this ability.
