Chapter X: Adjudication and Planning (II)

"Bang!"

A dark shadow flew into the air with a muffled jaw shattering sound, and the moment it landed, it raised a large cloud of dust on the ground of the council hall, and there was an earth-shattering scream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Are you going to fight again?" Loren, who withdrew the uppercut he had punched and put his hands behind his back again, smiled sincerely: "It's still early." ”

Butch struggled on the ground with his chin clutched, his gaze at the black-haired wizard filled with shock and horror. And none of the brothers around him who were put in like him have yet woken up!

He didn't even remember what had just happened - as if a bright light flashed, he heard the screams of his companions around him, and then he was knocked down by a punch.

The whole process happened so quickly and suddenly that I didn't even have time to react, it was like a dream. But his jaw and the two teeth that crashed are extremely real!

"You're cheating!" Butch, who had two broken teeth, protested with a mouthful of blood on his mouth. But it's a pity that the voice is too small, and this time even the people of their family did not stand up to support him.

"I'm sorry, but the Earl has just reminded you that I am a wizard. Loren shook his head helplessly, and reminded kindly: "And I'm beating the five of you alone, using a little trick... I take it for granted. ”

"I ......" Butch just wanted to refute, but found himself speechless.

"You now have two options - accept the Count's offer of settlement and receive compensation from the Rand family, or...... We can do it again. ”

Loren's expression was very sincere, and his voice was flat and slow: "But I want to warn you first, I will not show mercy twice. ”

Butch swallowed, struggling or slowly lowering his head: "We admit defeat and are willing to accept Lord Earl's conditions. After saying that, he staggered up and knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Wen.

"You made a very wise decision. The black-haired wizard patted Butch on the shoulder and turned his gaze to the patriarch of the Rand family to the side.

This fat man, who was a little old, was standing in front of the young earl with a flattering face, and kept bowing and thanking him, so that Lu Wen, who had only a little affection for him, was extremely comfortable from head to toe, as if every pore was opened.

After all, no matter how much he pretends to be, Lu Wen is still just a young man. And now is the time when he is most eager for others to affirm him, and it is inevitable that he will be a little carried away with the least resistance to praise and praise.

After seeing the black-haired wizard coming, the chubby patriarch of the Rand family hurriedly retreated, and took the initiative to step forward and hold Loren's hand: "Thank you so much, I don't even know how to compensate you!

"That's an exaggeration. Loren, who smiled slightly, took the opportunity to withdraw his hand: "It's just a little insignificant help." ”

"No exaggeration, no exaggeration......" shook the fat body, and the patriarch's face was full of smiles.

"Actually, I had a friend in the past who seems to have the same surname Rand. ”

"That's really our honor!" The patriarch didn't notice Loren's expression when he said this, and still greeted him flatteringly: "I don't know if this friend of yours is also from Shenlinburg? Maybe we still know each other!"

"Perhaps. ”

With a somewhat playful remark, the black-haired wizard turned and left the village hall with Leven, the young earl was quite satisfied with what had happened today, and was ready to take advantage of the rest of the time to continue to visit the villages and towns near the castle, so that the villagers could see his new earl.

It wasn't until nightfall that the group returned to the deep forest castle exhausted. Old man Barry Senna was already waiting at the gates of the city, and standing beside him was the terrified squire Will Senna.

Seeing these two people, Lu Wen snorted coldly, and returned to the castle hall with Loren. The old man who did not give up also pulled his attendant and followed closely behind, not leaving an inch.

"It seems that if I don't let you speak, you won't let me go. The Earl, who was sitting on the chair, had a hard look on his face, and waved his hand very impatiently: "If there is anything you want to ask, just say it!"

"Don't dare. The old man standing in front of Lu Wen had the same serious expression: "I just want to ask Lord Earl, where did you go today?"

"I just went to inspect the surrounding territory and solved a few small things by the way. Lu Wen, who didn't want to pay attention to him at all, casually dismissed: "Is there a problem?"

"Of course, you don't know how much trouble you have caused to us lowly servants by leaving the castle without permission. Barry sighed heavily, "Leave your duties as a lord and settle those idle ......"

"I'm the earl, and I have the power to decide what belongs to me and what is idle!" Levin interrupted him directly: "You can't accuse me of doing wrong, right?"

"Don't dare. The old man's expression was insincere when he said this: "It's just for the sake of your safety, Earl, Shenlin Castle is not a peaceful place, if you leave the castle without permission, we humble servants will not know how to protect you." ”

This was close to a naked threat, and Lu Wen, who gritted his teeth, endured it, pinched the armrest of the chair tightly, and his tense shoulders and forearms trembled slightly.

"As your loyal courtier, we are of course willing to assist you as much as possible, but this also requires a basic degree - but how can we help you if you do anything without notifying us in advance?"

"So, the next time you plan to use your skills, please let us know in advance, and the nobles of the Deep Forest Castle will definitely give you a satisfactory answer after studying it. ”

"You can take your leave, Barry Senna!!" said Leuven, almost gritting his teeth.

"Thank you, Lord Count. The old man stiffly bent down, bowed indifferently to Lu Wen, and turned to leave the castle hall.

Will Cena, who stood still and didn't know what to do, also fled in a hurry after being glared at by Leuven. The entire hall was empty, except for Loren and Leuven.

"This old thing, how dare you threaten me!" Lu Wen, who was surprisingly angry, roared out directly, gasping for breath, like a wounded lion: "He actually dares to threaten me?!"

Loren, who was standing on the side, calmly looked at Lu Wen and roared, it was useless to say anything at this time, only let him vent it himself.

It didn't surprise Loren that the other party would do thisβ€”if it were him, he certainly wouldn't want the Earl to run around and leave his control.

They were actually worried, worried that Levin would gradually establish his prestige and make the nobles and commoners of the entire county approve of his rule, because that would mean that the Senna family would completely lose power.

People will do whatever it takes to protect their titles, authority, interests, and especially interests that belong to them and their families.

"We're not doing enough. ”

Lu Wen, who gradually calmed down, muttered as if talking to himself: "Just calming down the contradictions of a few families is not enough to make the entire county completely surrender, those nobles will definitely not be convinced, and the commoners don't even know who I am!"

"I need a more drastic, direct approach to assert my authority as a count. Levin suddenly laughed: "My father often said that only by making nobles feared and commoners loved can one become a qualified lord." ”

"He has a point. ”

"So do you have any good idea?" said the young earl tentatively to his wizarding advisor, "don't be particularly clear, even if it's just an idea or two. ”

Loren looked at Lu Wen, who was extremely expectant of him, and hesitated for a moment.

"Indeed...... There is a way. The black-haired wizard nodded, "It's just that this method is very risky." Indeed, if you succeed, the Senna family will never be able to challenge you again, but if there is even the slightest surprise......"

"You may be ready to counterinsurgency!"
