Chapter 05: I Can't Kill You
Although he was puzzled, the well-cultivated Baron Corsel only smiled and listened to Luther, and did not interrupt him to raise any objections.
"I am also very honored to be invited by His Excellency the Earl, I heard that His Excellency the Earl was unwell a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be just a rumor. ”
Hearing this, Luther's eyelids twitched slightly, he knew that the earl of the Sears family didn't know which bastard had passed on the matter because he didn't do anything good, and now Corsel was talking about it.
"It's just a rumor, and there are always some subordinates who owe discipline, probably because the decline and kindness of the Sears family have made them forget the past.
Even the current Sears family will not be afraid of threats and challenges, and the glory of our ancestors will not dissipate in my generation. ”
He knew that the other party was testing his reaction to the rumors that the land of Searsburg was at his fingertips, but Luther was dissatisfied that you were a baron who dared to test me? Who gave you the courage? Aren't you afraid that I will be angry and detain you directly?
According to what the butler said a few days ago, because of the rumors, there were indeed a few small nobles who were a little stupid, but then there was no sound, which made the butler very worried.
Baron Corsel got up and bowed slightly, then sat down and laughed and talked to Luther about the Temira family and the Cliffwater family, which were the two families that were ready to move at that time.
Although I don't know if the other party bowed down to pay respect to his words just now or apologize for what he asked, Luther had already decided to slaughter the other party fiercely, and the apology afterwards could not recover too much damage.
However, on the surface, he still nodded quietly in favor of the other party, and then listened carefully.
The two families mentioned by the other party are just minor nobles, and the highest is only a viscount and not hereditary.
These two families rose to prominence because of their alliance with the Thuram family to the west, and it is said that the two families were only two competing merchants at the time, and then helped Aiden Thuram complete a foreign purge to become a nobleman and obtain a knighthood.
"So what do you mean, Baron?"
Luther deliberately did not express his opinion and asked the other party rhetorically, and then stared at the other party with some playfulness, not being led by the other party because of the age gap, the difference between his own initiative and the other party's proposal is very large, and often the initiative belongs to the person who speaks later.
And the original purpose of this banquet was also to let Corsel be captured by the food first, and then see the toilet before sending the guests, I believe that the other party will be curious about the food and the toilet twice, and then he will be able to grasp the initiative.
Even if Baron Cosel couldn't, there were others who weren't, so Luther wasn't ready to hang himself from a tree.
The other party obviously didn't expect that the young earl couldn't help but slap the table and stand up and get angry, because even the smallest family would get angry when they heard being spied on, which had nothing to do with cultivation, and territory was the biggest capital of the nobles.
Baron Cosell, who didn't lead the other party to get angry, frowned slightly, feeling that either the other party was a fool who didn't understand anything or a very shrewd person, and it seemed that he was going to take a step back.
Luther was not in a hurry, he casually picked up the white bread that the maid had just placed on the table, the freshly baked white bread exuded an enticing aroma, and a small piece of honey next to it was even more appetizing.
The other party pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and then picked up a piece of white bread as well.
"If, I mean, what if, next month's Tracia Market is visited by a bunch of bandits, and somebody happens to see it in the Sears area?"
Luther's hand tearing the bread stopped, then leaned forward, stared sharply at the other party, and said, "Can I think this is a threat?"
"No, no, no, dear Earl, you have obviously misunderstood me, don't you think Sears is too young now?
I think it should be bigger so you can move your legs. ”
The other party actually said the matter of calculating the two families like drinking water, which made Luther a little surprised, it seems that the things in the information are nonsense.
The other party saw that Luther was a little indifferent and spoke again: "I know what you are worried about, but I will arrange the rest of the things, and I don't think things will make a big deal, even if you can't move your legs in the end, but the other party's compensation will definitely be there." ”
Luther raised his head and glanced at the other party, then dipped the white bread in honey, and waited until he finished eating slowly, then picked up the cloth on the table and wiped his hands and said, "Pulling tiger skins, or is it your purpose to take my status as an earl?"
As long as they can't capture Searsburg, someone will definitely come to mediate, after all, who doesn't have any relatives?
Tell me about your purpose, for what you wanted, and how did these two families provoke you. ”
After saying that, he motioned to the butler to pour the chilled red wine, and secretly despised the still slightly sour red wine, could it be that this kind of self-proclaimed clever guy really thinks that I am a 14-year-old boy who does not understand anything? What a fool.
It was at this time that the dishes in the back kitchen were on the table, which also calmed Kosel a little.
The other party was obviously not as arrogant and ignorant as his peers in other families, and the other party seemed to be a peer of the same age as him in terms of demeanor, tone and other aspects, and he seemed to see his father, Count Cosel, in a trance just now.
When the dishes were served, Luther didn't mention what happened just now, he was going to understand the situation first and then talk to the baron, after all, his eyes were black and he couldn't say what others said.
And he hasn't forgotten the main purpose of this time, although the land gold coin is very important, but it is better to be able to obtain it stably than to start a war.
Looking at the steak on the table, he sighed in his heart, this two hundred and five chef actually fried the steak again, and he also demonstrated it to the chef himself several times in the morning, of course, he also fried it for the first time.
"If nothing else, Baron, try my chef's craft first, for this is one of the best parts he has found to make a steak. ”
The butler hurriedly poured red wine into Luther's wine glass, and then went to the side to help Baron Cosel pour it, and then retreated to Luther's side.
Corsel saw that the other party was picking up a knife and spoon and cutting the steak, and swallowed the words back in his stomach and began to enjoy the steak with spices first.
Even if he has some net worth at the moment, he can't afford to eat such a steak too many times.
Just as Luther was eating the steak, he glanced vaguely at Baron Cosel, and the other party showed an expression of enjoyment as he expected, after all, Luther personally asked the cook to increase the amount of pepper, and there were still that kind of long strips of fruit.
Hmph, I'm not afraid that you don't like it, I'm afraid that you won't eat it, and the little sheep will still be able to run away if it is delivered to the door? The rest of the series of food bombs can't kill you.
Luther, who was smiling in his heart, also showed a satisfied expression, but it was not Baron Cosel who thought he was satisfied with the steak.
