"Oh my God! Klein, you're finally here!"

A grim-looking young man stood at the gate, speaking extremely pompous words in his mouth, and his arms were outstretched, as if he wanted to give the second young master of the Bates family a warm hug for the newcomer.

"Long time no see, Viscount Vane, how is the Grand Duke feeling lately?"

Brian took off his gloves and hugged the comer, a ritual common to the six Western Principalities of the Twenty-Four Duchy, and whispered a few words in the feminine man's ear, asking about the health of the Grand Duke of Nisso.

"It's okay, it's okay, but I'm really anxious to wait for you these days. ”

Vane responded, he is the second son of the Duke of Nisso, and at a young age he received the title of field viscount of the Duchy of Nisso, owning a whole viscount, and the territory is rich in products and resources.

Brian really didn't have much talent for magic, and after studying at the Mage Academy for a while, he transferred to the Victorian Noble College to study finance and aristocratic etiquette.

Wayne Nissel was his playmate since childhood, and his only roommate at the academy, and the two had a very good relationship, discussing everything together.

Wayne Nissau was only the second son of the Duke of Nissau and had no right to inherit the title.

However, his keen sense of commerce and his incomparable toughness allowed him to mingle with the disputed and chaotic Twenty-Four Duchy, supplying almost the entire Duchy of Nissau's finances.

But actually... He's an alcoholic...

"Come inside and talk, the Grey Dwarf cook's dishes don't wait for anyone!"

Wayne excitedly took Brian's hand and walked towards the courtyard, this time he specially invited a few gray dwarf three-star chefs in order to catch Brian's wind, originally for tomorrow when Brian and his father were negotiating, today is an appetizer for Brian in advance.

The Principality of Nissol is the most powerful of the six western kingdoms, and the current Grand Duke is Rhine Nisol, who is famous for his iron and blood in the Twenty-Four Duchy, and he is also a powerful and epic war knight, under his leadership, the Duchy of Nisol has a tendency to unify the six western countries.

Brian had great respect for the Archduke Rhein-Nissol, and in fact the resolute Knight Duke was the cousin of Joseph Morgan, the patriarch of the Morgan family.

However, in recent years, Brian has been doing business throughout Isère, and when he was in contact with the Twenty-Four Duchy, he met more of his classmate and friend Vane, and even this time he negotiated with the Grand Duke of Nissau, he first came to Vane's mansion in Schellenburg, the capital of the Duchy of Nissau.

The two walked into the courtyard, and the butler, with a humble and kind smile, beckoned several servants to unload Brian's coat and luggage from the magic car outside, and take them down to tidy up.

Vane's yard was neat, and it was obvious that all the servants in the courtyard were smiling, and this smile was not acted, but from the bottom of his heart.

This is Vane's style, despite his cold skin, but in fact he is a very kind person, very good to the common people, and almost every year he will distribute food and coal to the people under his rule for the winter.

Although these supplies were insignificant to the wealthy Vane Nisol, he was already a rare good man in the Twenty-Four Duchy, where civilians were generally treated as animals, and as such, he was also loved by his people.

On the table is a dish made by the three-star chef of the Grey Dwarf, a dozen young pigeons are arranged on a plate in the shape of a tower, which looks perfectly roasted, delicious and colorful, a classic dish from the Duchy of Nissot, used to entertain guests.

Vane dismissed his servant and sat around the table with Brian, opening and pouring two glasses of the wine he had just served, a semi-sweet wine that was a favorite of Vane and Brian, and a perfect match for roasted pigeon.

Brian looked around, and there were no servants, and he pulled over two chairs, sat on one of them, and his boots were unscrupulously placed on the other, and he grabbed a roast pigeon and feasted on it, without any image.

"Hey, you're too casual—" Vne muttered, but he sat in a similar position, picked up the glass and poured it down his throat, tore at half of the pigeon, and savored it, ignoring the knife on the table.

"I don't want to say that the taste is good, this chef is very good..."

Brian also took a glass of wine and drank it all, loudly praising the chef's skills, he has not had a good rest in recent months, and he left in a hurry not long after returning home, this time he finally found an opportunity to indulge, Brian will not abide by those pedantic aristocratic etiquette, how to be comfortable.

"Hey, why don't you drink it?" Brian ate a pigeon, and was about to pick up a second one, when he found that Wayne had adjusted his position, his glass set aside, and stared at him with a scrutinizing look that seemed to be full of reproach.

"What's wrong?" Brian scratched his head, he didn't quite understand what Vane meant, racked his brain to think about it, and found that he hadn't done anything to be sorry for Vane.

emm... Except for the fact that he didn't obey the family's orders to go to the country of ghosts, it seems that the news has leaked.

"You're just a madman, I heard Uncle Joseph say you're going to the land of ghosts?"

Vane suddenly stood up and slapped the table and shouted, Brian suddenly disappeared for several months, I heard that he went to the country of ghosts, but at that time, the country of ghosts was almost destroyed by the Aslan Empire, and there was no point in this bastard Brian going now.

"What are you doing there? I know you have a good relationship with that ghost warrior, but you're a sword saint! What about you? you're not even a silver mage!"

Vane continued to curse Brian, it was so infuriating, he knew that the Blue Oni existed, it was indeed an attractive male, both men and women would worship his tough handsome face and strong enough strength.

But Brian's approach is completely unpredictable, the Aslan Empire is prosperous, and on the whole, it can even stabilize the Svizer Federation, and it is the most powerful country in the Isère world.

It is precisely because of such a majestic lion standing on top of the world that the Sviser Federation only dares to conduct the most basic commodity trade with the Aslan Empire itself, and can only covet the vast market of its vassal states.

It is precisely for this reason that the Kohler family of the twelve families spreads new rumors around Isère every day through ultra-long-range magic circles, and fabricates public opinion and rumors.

The Koehler family even planted spies in the small countries around the Aslan Empire that had not yet been subjugated, brainwashed the kings of those small countries, and refused to submit to the Aslan Empire, and it is said that the foreign ministers of the Aslan Empire had bald hair during this time.

The Aslan Empire has continued to expand its territory since the decline of the Oni Country, but it has not moved much since the Kohler family spread rumors, and the complete conquest of the Oni Nation in the past few years is the only major military operation.

The Kohler family even sent people to the Pampas steppe in the northwest of the Aslan Empire, inciting those steppe people to constantly disturb the borders of the Aslan Empire, so that they had to slow down the pace of conquering the surrounding small countries.

The Bates family basically turned a blind eye to these small actions of the Koehler family, in fact, they were also happy to see the Aslan Empire in the international arena, so as to open a stable route for their family to the strongest empire in Isel.

"Don't be angry just yet... Didn't I come back safe and sound?" Brian narrowed his eyes, reassuring the angry Vane, he knew that his old classmate was worried about his safety, and this trip was indeed a bit abrupt.

"Tell me, what are you doing there?" Vane brought himself another glass of wine, took a sip, and stared at Brian as if he were about to lock Brian in the room.

"The green ghost said let me keep an incense stick for the country of ghosts, and... Just entrust me with a child... It's the little highness of the ghost clan... Blue Ghost He... You already know..."

Brian had no choice but to recount the rescue of the little ghost, and he piled his body in his chair like a puddle of mud, his legs still on the stool, and his decadent appearance combined with the tip of his eagle-hooked nose had a different kind of beauty.

No one would associate the madman who dominated the international business war with this decadent youth, but this is what Brian really looks like after he takes off all his disguises.

"Alas... Never mind... This time you're coming... What are you going to discuss with my father?" Vane, still holding his glass, began to get to the point, an order from Archduke Nissot, to find out what Brian was trying to do.

For the nobles of the Twenty-Four Duchy, wine was almost the most important part of their lives, and Vane was no exception, and the raw material of this wine was even more luxurious and expensive, and the cost of each grape was almost one Nisso gold coin.

"It's nothing, my father thinks it's time for the Twenty-Four Duchy to change, and has sent me to inquire about the wishes of the Grand Duke of Nisol. ”

Brian lazily said what he meant, as if he didn't know what changes this simple sentence would bring to Isère's international system, and reached out and grabbed a fragrant roast pigeon and tore it.

"You're really... Laziness..."Vane drank the wine from his glass, rubbing it lightly with one hand on the corner of his forehead, obviously very unhappy with Brian's lazy appearance, but there was nothing he could do about this old classmate and friend.

Vane suddenly remembered something, got up and came back with two large wine glasses, filled them with sweet wine, and placed them in front of himself and Brian respectively, he patted the table lightly, and motioned Brian to listen to him.

"What's wrong?" Brian knew what this meant, the way Vane the drunkard expressed his emotions was often expressed by the size of the wine glass, and the large wine glass in front of him showed that Vane was serious now.

He moved his legs off the chair, shook his head, as if sobering up, and instantly recovered to the business elite whose eyes were full of essence, and took a sip of his wine glass, waiting for Vane's speech.

"Ahead of schedule?"

Vane's expression was very serious, he was also an important part of the plan made by old Meyer and Hegmant, and he knew the plan of those old men well, but after calculating the time, it was a little ahead of the original plan.

"Well, actually, it's my fault, the rescue of the little highness almost changed the steps of this plan...", said Brian with the same seriousness, he was the most orthodox heir to the Batesens family, unlike his brother who specialized in politics and the third brother who was bohemian.

"Whew... I didn't expect it to be so early... So that old man in your family already has a way to fight that old lion?"

Vane took another sip of wine, his brows furrowed, this plan was very important, not only the internal problems of their twenty-four principalities, but even the international system of the whole of Isère and...

The gods that are high above.
