Three days later, in the morning, William got up from bed early, sat on the bed in a daze, and got up every morning without energy.

"Squeak ......"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and it turned out to be William's personal maid, Lingsi.

She held a tray in her hand, and in the tray was a rather luxurious-looking aristocratic robe, which was the usual clothing worn by most of the nobles here, and even more luxurious if there was an occasion such as a banquet.

And although William has no requirements for dress, Wella attaches great importance to it, and has always been very wealthy, so his clothes are first-class in terms of material and workmanship, and even if he goes to the earl's banquet, it will not be rude.

Lingsi put this set of orange and blue-edged long-distance running on William's bedside, put the toiletries in the room, glanced at William on the upper body, and immediately left the room after saluting.

William looked at the clothes at the head of the bed, sighed boredly, and then listlessly picked up the luxurious robe and matching trousers.

He took out his riding boots from under the bed, put them on his feet, and got up from the bed.

The cold winter wind had seeped through the cracks in the main castle, and if it weren't for the still burning fireplace, William would have woken up from the cold.

Winter sleep is definitely not warm, and he has never been in the habit of washing with warm water, the moment the cold well water is applied to his face, it immediately drives away all the lazy breath on his body, and he is full of energy.

After having breakfast with Wella, Vidal found William.

"My lord, the president of the Reims Guild wants to talk to you in person!"

"Ah, okay, let him wait for me in the study, I'll be there soon!" William wiped his mouth with the cloth on the table, touched Wella's little head, and said to Vidal.

"I'm sorry Wella, I have to take care of some things, I can't eat with you today, but dinner, I'll definitely eat with you for dinner!"

After Vidal left, William said apologetically to Wella.

"That'...... Okay, you go ahead and deal with it first, you don't have to worry about me here. Although Wei Na was a little disappointed on her face, she still said obediently.

Although William saw the loss on her face, he couldn't help but deal with these things, so he could only kiss her forehead and turn away.

Standing at the door of the study, William straightened his clothes, in front of such a merchant, the majesty of the nobility must not be lost.

Pushing open the door to the study, William strode inside.

"Hello, Dear Baron William, I hope you are in good health and your family will multiply for generations!" When President Lance saw William come in, he hurriedly stood up from the table and greeted William in a humble tone.

"Well, please take a seat!"

William nodded lukewarmly and asked him to sit down.

President Lance hurriedly sat down in his chair, but he didn't dare to sit on it all, but only sat on half of his ass, looking quite humble.

William was in full swing in the Denlenburg area at this time, not only did he have a good relationship with the two viscounts in the upper ranks, but even other nobles were friendly with him, plus the earl's favor, as well as his own strength, in any case, he was not the president of a guild that could be compared.

After all, the scale of the Reims Guild is not very large, but it has a little influence in a few surrounding counties, and it is not even ranked in the entire kingdom, if he offends William, then he has to give up all business in Denlenburg.

And even if he never comes to Denlenburg again, then the nobles of other regions will not mind destroying the Reims Guild, plundering their wealth, and selling favors to the nobles who think they are powerful, so why not do such a thing?

"What do you mean when Vidal says you want to talk to me in detail? Don't your guilds even have that strength? I can't even get a stone. William said coldly.

"Oh no, my lord, you misunderstood, it's not that we can't get the stones." President Lance hastened to explain to William.

"Oh? And you're still coming to me? Is there anything else? ”

"That's the case, my lord, because the kingdom has recently been building the Saipan fortress to prevent the Lillard Kingdom from invading again, so the stone for the entire kingdom is very scarce, and if you buy it at this time, the price will be very expensive, so I hope to be able to talk to you face to face to avoid misunderstanding."

President Lance said helplessly to William.

"Oh? Trimming the fortress? That means you can get the stones, huh? William suddenly knew in his heart that the Kingdom of Tskema was defeated by the Kingdom of Lillard, and it was definitely necessary to be ready to be invaded again, and it was reasonable to build a fortress.

"Yes, my lord, but it will be very expensive!"

"Well, how many credits do I need to buy this amount?" William nodded and asked.

"Well, the amount you want is huge, and you need 40,000 silver coins to buy it in full." President Lance was a little embarrassed to say the price.

"What? How can it be so expensive? Although William had been prepared for a long time, he did not expect that the price of stone would swell to this extent.

You must know that before the price swelled, the stones that William needed could be bought for only seven or eight thousand silver coins, and now they have expanded more than three times.

And this is because William does not plan to build the city entirely of stone, if he builds the city entirely of stone, the materials cost will be tripled, that is, 120,000 silver coins, which is too exaggerated.

"Are you sure you didn't kill me?" William's eyes were sealed, and although his tone was still calm, the fierce light in his eyes had begun to flicker.

"This can't be an adult, how dare I deceive you, who are honorable? If it weren't for the lack of strength of our guild, we could even owe you it on credit first, just to ask you that the guild really doesn't have so many funds, and you have to get the silver coins you paid to buy it! ”

President Lance's polite words sounded very nice, though they were a pair of useless.

How can the aristocracy of this era have any credibility at all, they can take advantage of it, and want me to pay it back? It doesn't exist, which makes many guilds and merchants distrust the nobility, and this credit is basically never done.

President Lance's, William didn't believe it, but he had a solution.

His style of painting changed, he became kind, and said to President Lance in a kind tone: "Then thank you so much President Lance, my wealth here is indeed not enough, it would be great if you could tie up and bear a little, but you can rest assured, I swear in the honor of nobility, as long as there is a surplus in the finances, I will pay you back immediately!" ”

William's words were high-sounding, with a rather righteous face.

But President Lance was bitter to death in his heart at this time, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why should he owe it? Now it's okay, if you agree or not, if you agree, you will definitely suffer, so if you don't agree, what can you do about the cooperation between the two sides?

Vodka is a business that can bring him a silver coin every year, and he is unwilling to give up like this no matter what, but he is reluctant to give up more than 30,000 silver coins, not to mention that William has sworn in the name of the nobleman, and if he does not agree, it will be equivalent to questioning his honor.
