It turns out that Isabella does have the title of a baroness, and her family goes back to the Lancastrian royal family, so it is not wrong to say that she and Elizabeth have a blood relationship.

But her family is now in danger, his family fell into a financial crisis for some reasons decades ago, and by the time she took over the family, this financial crisis has already endangered her family.

Her family owed the Grand Duke a tax for thirty years, and she had been suppressing the matter by her relationship with the Grand Duke, but not long ago, one of her family's rivals took a fancy to her family's vineyard and blew the matter up.

Now the Grand Duke wants to pretend not to see it, but he can't do it. According to the laws of the Duchy of Totson, the nobles had to pay the Grand Bus Tax every year, although the Grand Duke did not value the money very much, after all, in the Duchy of Totson, the Grand Duke owned the most land and numerous vineyards, and there was nowhere to spend the money, so he could not afford this little money at all.

But the problem is that this tax represents the obligation between the lord and the vassal, and if the Grand Duke does not see it, it will destroy the ancient obligation between the lord and the vassal, and then it will be a big trouble! The courtiers in the country will definitely make trouble.

So even if the relationship between the Grand Duke and Isabella was good, he couldn't bear it, but the Grand Duke still helped, that is, let Isabella's family subsidize and pay taxes, and imposed a double fine!

This seems harsh, but Isabella knows that the Grand Duke has already borne a lot of reproach for this, because according to the laws of the Principality, if a nobleman owes the Grand Duke three years of taxes, the Grand Duke can be demoted, and after 10 years, he can be removed! Now it's just a fine, it's just naked favoritism.

But Isabella still can't do anything about it, although the tax is not much in a year, but it is a full 30 years, plus double the fine, this is definitely a huge amount of money.

For this reason, Isabella could only mortgage all the property of her family to the Grand Duke, and borrowed money from the Grand Duke to pay off the debt, but this caused the dissatisfaction of other nobles, and the Grand Duke was joking in doing so, saying that it was a mortgage, but those properties were not in Isabella's hands?

And the nature of the matter also changed, from Isabella owing money to the state, to the Grand Duke and private lending money to Isabella. When the time comes, the Grand Duke will pay back the money if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to, she will treat it as if she doesn't have this money, then Isabella will not have any punishment, this is a violation of the laws of the principality!

This matter is so big that even the Grand Duke's family is very dissatisfied with it, the law is the cornerstone of the Grand Duke's rule, and the Grand Duke himself actually blatantly destroys it, isn't that a joke?

There was no way, the Grand Duke could only set the repayment period at three years, and if the money could not be exchanged within three years, Isabella's assets would be auctioned.

In fact, if this matter is secretly come, it is estimated that others will not take it seriously, but the guy who peeped into the vineyard of Isabella's family has been staring at Isabella, and this matter will become more and more troublesome, and in the end, the Grand Duke can only express his position.

After that, things were simple, Isabella could only come out to do business in order to exchange money, and in a peaceful place like the Shining Plains, there were few profiteering industries that allowed Isabella to scrape together enough money so quickly, so she could only take the risk of doing business.

At first, it was very smooth, her aristocratic status was still somewhat useful, and then Isabella came into contact with the maritime trade through a friend, and after a period of observation, she found that the maritime trade was really profitable.

So she couldn't resist the temptation to go to sea, and the first time she went out to sea herself, she was robbed by pirates, and that's what happened after that.

While Isabella was babbling about her own experience, Muhammad brought the attendants of the hall to the dishes. This woman didn't know if she hadn't communicated with people for too long, and she didn't react at all to these people coming in, and she still babbled about what happened to her.

Soram didn't stop it, this woman fought a home alone, and ran out to do business all the way, in Solam's opinion, it's not bad, more than some men, since she wants to say, then let her say it, anyway, Soram doesn't have any entertainment, just pass the time.

When the dishes were ready, Muhammad had the two brothers called. When they came up, Muhammad was ready to leave, but Soram kept Muhammad behind, which made Muhammad cheer a little, which was one step closer to his goal.

"Sit down." Seeing that the two brothers seemed a little at a loss, Soram took the initiative to ask them to sit down. When everyone was seated, Soram spoke to the two brothers.

"Introduce yourself, I've spent so much money that I still don't know your names."

I saw that half-drow said with a deep face: "My name is Trismu, and he is my brother's name is Otis." My lord, I am very grateful for your rescue, and I will definitely return your money, but my two brothers are not slaves! ”

These words made Muhammad, who was present, jump up at once, and scolded: "The beauty of thought! My lord spent more than 100,000 gold for your two brothers, and you want to leave if you don't want to be a slave? And is it your two slaves' turn to rebel? ”

Muhammad's painting is actually more for Soram, so that he can see how desperate he is for his interests, of course, this is just a small means, it can't be true, but it can indeed shorten the distance between the two people, and anyone will have a good impression of the person who speaks for him.

So don't look at the fact that Muhammad is in a hurry now, but this just shows that this guy is a smart man.

The word slave made Trismu's face darker, but he had a half-drow skin that was already half-black and not white, so he couldn't see it, but from his suddenly sharp eyes, it could be seen that he was angry.

Not to mention, this look is indeed very scary, at least Muhammad was swept away by this look, and he felt a little frightened. But the big black Otis looked at his brother in a bit of a dilemma, and then looked at Solam.

He is very conflicted now, he promised Soram that as long as he saves his brother, he will be a cow and a horse, and now his brother's words are simply backsliding, in the eyes of Otis, this is not right, but he can't convince his brother, he has always listened to his brother.

Only Solam looked as usual, he held the wine glass, touched his chin, and looked at the slave Banzhur who did not want to be a slave with a relaxed expression.

"More than 100,000 gold coins, how are you going to pay it back?"

"I ......" To be honest, Trisim really didn't think about how to pay back the money, he just didn't want to be a slave, just leave here, as for how to pay back the money, or not, that's a matter for later.

"Hey, big man, what did you tell me in the first place?" Soram didn't look at Trism this time, but turned to look at the big black Otis.

"I said, as long as you can save my brother, I will use you as a cow and a horse! That still counts! ”

Otis did not hesitate, in his opinion, Soram had done his duty to their brothers, paid for them, and then spent a lot of money to cure his brother, and now asked him to turn around and leave, Otis could not do such a thing.

"Otis!" Trismu is almost angry, his brother really has a hole in his brain, why should he be a slave to others? Even if Soram saved them, so what? He, Trismu, doesn't plan to be a slave anymore in his life, he's had enough!

"Brother, I'm ......"

"Shut up! Listen to me, let's go! My lord, I will pay you back this money, but you must have never heard what my brother said. ”

After speaking, he pulled Otis and prepared to leave, but the big black man didn't move, and still sat there, making Trism stare at Otis fiercely, but Otis still lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"Hmm...... Actually, it's not like I can't agree with what you say. But you've got to put something on the mortgage, right? Can't I believe what you say? Do I look like an idiot? ”

At the end, Solam's unhappy emotions were about to overflow, and everyone could hear it!

Solam's original plan was to spend some money to set the two brothers free, but he didn't expect it to cost so much, but Soram didn't change his mind until Trism spoke, his money was all for nothing, and he spent it, and he didn't feel distressed.

But Trismu's attitude made Soram very unhappy, oh! I spent the money, and I was slaughtered in anger at the Waujin Temple, and after a cold thank you, I was going to leave. You have to look like you're being helped! It's so natural to say that you don't want to be a slave, and then turn around and leave? Am I really supposed to be?

However, Otis's words made Soram feel a little better again, at least someone really thanked him, otherwise Soram would be too aggrieved. Since I'm unhappy, then my previous thoughts have changed, it's okay to go, pay back the money, I'm willing to do good deeds, it's my business, but you can't be what I should be!

When Trism heard Soram say this, his whole body turned around, and his eyes stared at Soram fiercely.

"What do you want?"

"No, no, it should be what you can give me!" Solam now felt that it would have been nice if he had let this thing die, looking at this guy's virtue, he was definitely a white-eyed wolf.

Solam's words made Trism very dissatisfied, he has no long belongings now, how can he mortgage it? Did Soram make it clear that he wouldn't let him go!

To say that Trism is not grateful to Soram is false, but Soram made him a slave, he would never do it! Why did he escape, just so that he would no longer be a slave?

Trism pretended to think about it for a moment, then turned around, as if considering the gains and losses, and pondered for a long time, while his body unconsciously moved closer to Solam, and when he was close enough, Trism spoke.

"Okay, I'll give you a mortgage! I'll give you ...... Go to hell! ”

In the middle of his words, Trism suddenly burst out, jumped over the table and threw himself directly at Solam, grabbing Solam's neck with both hands, and the others were startled! Including Otis.

However, instead of panicking, Solam didn't even leave his seat, but raised his finger with the blue ghost ring and pointed at Trismu, who pounced on him!

"Shocking to the heart!"

Trismu, who was still in the air, instantly went blank in his brain, and his whole body couldn't move. After that, it snapped and pounced directly on the table! A good table of dishes was ruined like this.
