"Come in."

After receiving Eugen's order, the wooden door creaked slowly open, and a middle-aged butler in a tuxedo was standing straight in front of the door.

Seeing Eugen appear, the middle-aged butler bowed with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Earl, my name is Ruud Wittelsbach, and I am Viscount Pigard's butler. ”

Eugen frowned, and a white and chubby figure appeared in his mind, he had also paid attention to this Viscount Pigarde before, but he didn't notice that there was a butler by his side.

"Oh, please come in, Steward Ruud." Eugen led the butler into the room and continued, "Palma, you come in too, and close the door by the way." ”

Eugen sat down in the chair in the room, Margaret stood behind him, and Ruud Butler knew that there was something different around him, so he stood opposite Eugen and did not sit down. As Palma closed the door and entered, it became a quiet place for a private conversation.

As soon as the Ruud butler saw that the situation was almost over, he didn't wait for Eugen to ask, and said directly: "Count Eugen, my master, Viscount Pigard, wants to cooperate with you to maintain peace in the entire Lebor region. ”

Hearing this, Eugen showed an interested look on his face, and continued with encouragement: "Okay, you go on. ”

"As you may have heard, we have some conflicts with Viscount Tariq in the Leber region, and these conflicts are the personal responsibility of Viscount Tariq, and the Saxons are notoriously belligerent."

With a polite smile on his face, Ruud Butler continued: "These conflicts have destroyed the precious peace, and you also know that peace will bring you a better life, Count Eugen, you must want to sanction Viscount Tariq and maintain peace in this region. Viscount Pigard expressed his approval of your actions against Viscount Tariq and was willing to support you in all aspects. ”

After saying that, Steward Ruud bowed to Eugen again, and waited silently for a response, his eyes fixed on the expression on Eugen's face, trying to guess Eugen's inner thoughts.

It's a pity that Eugen didn't have any expression fluctuations on his face, and just said lightly: "I understand what Viscount Pigard meant, Viscount Tariq did go a little too far, but maybe it can't talk about sanctions." I would like to know, what are the so-called supports of Viscount Pigard? ”

Eugen already understood that Pigard was going to work with him against Tariq. However, he naturally will not agree easily, although Tariq hates it, but after all, he is also a strong enemy, and he will not make a move if there are not enough benefits.

"Your Excellency Earl, my lord has offered to provide you with a sum of money for the construction of the city of Leyball, with a total of about fifty thousand kild gold coins. At the same time, some of the debt of the city of Lebel belongs to the Wittelsbach family, and the amount is about 800,000 kild coins, which can be extended for you to repay the loan for up to five years. ”

Butler Ruud naturally understood what Eugen meant, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that Viscount Pigard's conditions would not impress Eugen. Originally, Pigard meant that Eugen was already hostile to Tariq, and they just had to push the boat, but now it seems that this Count Eugen has a lot of ideas and is not willing to be used as a gunman.

Sure enough, Eugen's face gradually sank after hearing the conditions proposed by Rude's steward.

Eugen had heard of the wealth of the Wittelsbach family before, and now he felt this more intuitively after hearing the conditions of the housekeeper.

A small viscount can give away 50,000 gold coins when he opens his mouth, which is more than a step stronger than the original Viscount of Dhamtast.

At the same time, the extension of the repayment period also made Eugen very excited, 800,000 gold coins is not a small amount, five years is very critical for Eugen, just enough for him to build himself in the early stage, without worrying about debt.

It's just that Eugen is still a little dissatisfied with this, because he has a greater purpose, and in order to achieve this purpose, Viscount Pigard has something from him, which he must obtain.

Butler Rude was afraid that Eugen would refuse directly, so he hurriedly continued: "Lord Earl, don't be busy refusing first, if you have any conditions, you can put forward them, and I can go back and discuss with the master." ”

Eugen also knew the truth of bargaining, his face was still gloomy, and he said slowly: "The wealth of the Wittelsbach family, as long as a Roman knows this, Viscount Pigard actually only took out this gold coin, which makes me have to doubt the sincerity of Viscount Pigard." ”

Eugen hid his purpose for the time being, but first took the unimportant gold coins to talk about things, according to his thoughts, the butler has no right to decide the amount of funds, and will definitely say that he can't decide first. When the time comes, Eugen puts forward his main purpose as a backup condition, and it is difficult for the other party to refuse.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard Eugen's words, Rude's butler said with a little weakness: "No, no, no, please believe in the sincerity of the viscount." In this way, we can raise the funds to 100,000...... No...... 150,000 Kild coins! It can give you a triple on the original basis, so you see how it goes. ”

Unexpectedly, Ruud's butler agreed so simply, Eugen was a little stunned, and the housekeeper was hiding before the relationship. If he didn't bring it up and agreed stupidly, maybe the gold coins would be hacked by Ruud's butler in the end.

This housekeeper is too dark, he dared to swallow so many gold coins that were originally given to him.

"Damn, this butler is so comfortable that I want to give up my status as a count and become a housekeeper for the Wittelsbach family." Eugen had a bit of a thought. But he didn't know that with Ruud's butler being by Pigard's side, he could directly decide the amount below 200,000 gold coins, and now the price he gave Eugen was still 50,000 gold coins less.

Because Ruud's butler agreed too quickly, Eugen is now a little embarrassed to put forward any more conditions, but for the sake of his own great cause, he deserves to bite the bullet and say: "Okay, but I have one more condition." ”

Ruud's butler was about to cry, he didn't expect this Count Eugen to be so difficult, did he have to force himself to hand over all the gold coins? Although he was depressed, Butler Rude nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Earl, please speak." ”

Eugen looked at Ruud's butler, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I want your Wittelsbach family's unlimited trade license. "The unlimited trade license means that Eugen can conduct unrestricted business activities in the territory of the other family, which is the real purpose of Eugen.

Ruud's housekeeper thought that Eugen still wanted gold coins, but he didn't expect Eugen to want this thing, and suddenly said in surprise: "What? That's it? ”
