Negotiations were finally settled.

Simon agreed to take the risk of 'heavy losses' by agreeing to the offer to receive the Scourge Red Star, while the lords split it equally and transport three months' worth of food for Grey Moon.

Similarly, these lords will also have to cooperate with the transfer of the Scourge Red Star.

All of this was sworn in front of the statue of Mother Earth with a supreme message, and even Agnes did not dare to disobey it.

If there is a default, it is tantamount to challenging the authority of the Mother Earth Temple.

After all the processes were completed, Simon took Lorina and Paul to 'leave the table angrily', without even looking at the noble lord behind him.

Looking at Lord Simon's back trembling with anger when he walked, these little lords were also silent.

As for Agnes and Mason...

They were not so much happy as relieved.

From the beginning, they had been worried that Simon would ignore it and just flip the chessboard and not accompany them.

But now it seems...

"This Lord Simon is quite acquainted." Agnes tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

But people who are able to control their irritation so much... The same should not be underestimated.

But no matter what, he finally gave in. We've done that, Lord Agnes. ”

Mason's tone was low, and his feminine face was full of flattering smiles.

"Not bad." Agnes nodded in satisfaction.

Simon was forced to agree to the request to transfer the Scourge Red Star, and that was enough.

Transferring the Scourge Red Stars out of his realm didn't affect him at all, and he didn't believe that Simon really had the ability to handle the relationship with so many Scourge Red Stars.

Just thinking about Simon's angry departure, he couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness in his heart.

Marlock... My brother... I will pay back all the suffering you have suffered with Simon.

......

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Paul served at Simon's right hand, trembling with anger and cold hands and feet.

As the captain of the guard, he could only watch Lord Simon be humiliated and did nothing.

Totally derelict in duty!

Paul gritted his teeth, still a little unable to swallow this breath, and looked at Simon.

"Uh..."

He was stunned and called softly:

"Lord Simon...?"

"Huh?" Simon turned his head strangely.

“... Why are you laughing? Paul asked, confused.

That's right... Why is Simon laughing?

I suffered a big loss just now, but now I can't stop laughing.

What is this operation?

Paul panicked: "Simeon! Is it really an evil spirit that has entered the body? Please don't panic! We're just..."

"Evil spirits in the body?" Lorena, who had been observing Simon next to her, also panicked:

"Lord Paul, you are optimistic about Master Simon, I will go and get the carriage over, and now go back to the Gray Moon and go to Lord Elitoya."

Seeing that the two of them were about to come up and support him, Simon waved his hand and signaled that he had no problem:

"I'm fine. I just thought of something happy about me. ”

"Happy thing...?"

Lorena and Paul were stunned.

"Not bad." Simon nodded and continued walking.

As he walked, he spoke:

"Lolina, as my personal maid, you should also know about Gray Moon's recent food reserves."

"Uhh

But then she thought of Simon's usual 'You don't need to answer'...

She was tormented.

Should I answer Simon's question at this time?

"You can speak up." Simon looked at Lolina with a smile: "I've always encouraged you to speak up. ”

"......" Lorena.

After thinking about it, Lolina spoke:

"The Grey Moon Fortress has a relatively good food stockpile, and if nothing else, it should be able to survive this winter... Ahh

Lolina was stunned, and then said:

"But there's also the Scourge..."

"That's right, the Gray Moon Municipal Office mainly counts the food of the local people of Gray Moon, but it doesn't count the Natural Disaster Red Star."

Simon took a step forward to the open-air drinking room, glanced thoughtfully at a corner, and continued:

"Food seems to be plentiful now, but the winter is still long."

"At the current consumption... Although there will not be a mass death of the people, there will definitely be dead and wounded. ”

Simon couldn't help but shake his head.

"Master Simon..."

Lorena and Paul looked at Simon's back in front of them, unconsciously moved.

So that's it! Simon didn't want to see his people unable to survive this winter, so he accepted so many natural calamity red stars!

But—

"The increase in natural disasters will also increase food loss, right? Simeon-sama. Paul reminded softly.

Yes, the increase in the natural calamity red star in the territory will also increase the food loss of the gray moon, but there are three more months of food...

"Enough." Simon said, "Besides, even if you want a little more food... The stingy nobles would certainly not agree. Three months of grain... That's exactly their psychological price point. ”

If you can ask for more, Simon will certainly not be soft, but others are not stupid, how can you let you ask for a price?

And three months of food is really enough.

According to the data compiled by Simon on the player forums and online networks in various places, there are now nearly 9,000 Scourge Red Stars gathered in the Gray Moon Fortress, accounting for two-thirds of the entire Western Union.

Further up...

Actually, it doesn't increase much.

Therefore, the extra three months of food were fully sufficient.

Simon exhaled a white breath and said without looking back:

"That's almost it, you two go to the carriage and wait for me, I still have some things to deal with alone."

"What...? Mistress Simon alone? It's too unsafe..."

Paul's face changed, but before he could finish his sentence, Simon waved his hand and interrupted him:

"This is the command, Paul. And—" Simon silently glanced around a corner, "I don't need your protection for the time being." ”

“... I understand. Despite his reluctance, Paul agreed.

After all, disobedience to Simon's orders was already a sign of disloyalty to him.

After sending Paul and Lorina away, Simon walked in the direction of the avenue on his own.

The streets are lined with well-decorated houses with bright magic lanterns hanging to make everything shine.

The place where Agnes lives is the wealthy area of Osside.

And on the other side... It is a slum where there is basically no light visible.

It's hard to imagine how to squeeze... Can this small area be prosperous?

Simon walked along, his eyes swept around from time to time, as if to confirm something.

And this walk, I walked directly to the clock tower in the center of the city.

He stopped, his gaze on the entrance under the bell tower.

Over there.

A figure in a black robe stood.

Obviously, the other party has been waiting for him for a long time.
