The interrogation was long, but the results were good.

Unexpectedly, the willpower of the jewelry store owner turned out to be stronger than I thought.

But it's only slightly stronger.

After repeated torture, he broke down and told everything he knew.

He did have ties to the aristocracy, but not the big nobles, but a group of small nobles and a few medium-sized nobles.

It turned out that the so-called great aristocracy was actually an alarmist under his fear.

If it's just a small aristocrat and a medium-sized nobility, then there is no need to scruple.

The so-called small nobles, but the money to buy the title of nobility, some merchants or adventurers after obtaining a large amount of money, in order to satisfy the thirst for status, so to the big nobles to the relationship to climb, or become their affiliated guests, or to obtain a small fief, turn into a noble, but also become a member of the nobility, however, because they are not born noble, and the fief is small, so it is also called a small noble.

The same is true of the medium-sized aristocracy, but some of the medium-sized nobles are derived from the declining large aristocracy.

Rao is like this, after becoming a medium-sized nobleman, it means that he will lose a large number of former friends, and even become a loner for a while.

It is understandable that people tend to be strong and avoid weakness.

The declining aristocracy without friends is no different from the medium-sized aristocracy who piles up money with money.

The forces are stronger than the small nobles, but they are far inferior to the big nobles, and because the sphere of influence is not large, even if the army is mobilized, it still can't make waves.

Now that his background has been determined, this person is of little use.

The next step is to find a way to annex his jewelry store.

There are two reasons why I am interested in jewelry stores.

First, the location of the jewelry store is very good, and the area is very large, you can see many passers-by coming and going, you can use it to check the surrounding situation, and it can also be used to hide people.

Second, the boss of Wren personally investigated, saying that there were several secret rooms in the jewelry store, two of which were stacked with the gold, silver and jade of the owner of the shop, and several places where tables and chairs were displayed, presumably for secret conversations.

I guess that these secret rooms are very likely to be the space for the lending organization to discuss matters with the owner of the jewelry store, and if you want to find out the intentions of the lending organization, these secret rooms must be mastered.

Leaving the trinket shop owner in the hands of Boss Wren, I left the New Valiant Guild and went to Arnold's house.

I went into the study with him, closed the door, and said, "Is there a way for you to get that jewelry store for me?" ”

"This ......" Arnold said, silent for a moment, "It's difficult, that jewelry store is not all his shares, and several small and medium-sized nobles are also involved, people like me can't fight with nobles." ”

"How much does it cost to become a petty nobleman?" I asked him.

"I've almost sold my arena to get a very ordinary title of little noble," Arnold replied.

"It's a bit expensive" frowned, and I said, "If I interview the big nobles who have jurisdiction over the scope of the jewelry store, how sure are I of success?" ”

Arnold pondered for a moment and said, "The big nobles are all deep pits of dissatisfaction, if it is just an interview, I am afraid it will be less than a point." ”

"What if I threaten them," I said, "or take their offspring hostage?" ”

"I'm afraid I won't even have a point," Arnold said, "Although I didn't have the opportunity to climb the big nobles, I also had some shallow contact with them, especially the big nobles of Dasai City, I'm afraid none of them are cold to this kind of coercion, and once this method is used, if you provoke these guys, you are likely to suffer terrible retaliation." ”

After a moment of silence, I said, "Those great nobles, are there no people who are afraid?" ”

"Yes" Arnold said: "They are afraid of the royal family, no matter what, the real ownership of these fiefs belongs to the royal family, and the royal family is the real master of Dasai City, they are happy, they can promote a few new big nobles at any time, and if they are not happy, they can also destroy any big nobles at will." ”

"Royalty, ......"

I thought of the majestic figure and the graceful and beautiful shadow that followed him.

I have only had one relationship with these two figures.

They are the supreme rulers of Dasai, the queen and queen of the country.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency," Arnold called to me.

"Huh?" I came back to my senses: "What's wrong?" ”

"I advise you to give up that jewelry store, it's too tricky," Arnold said sincerely.

"I'm a little reluctant to just give up," I continued, "and I decided to give it another try." ”

"You, you really want to go to the big nobles for an interview, do you?" Arnold hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that the great nobles may not be willing to see you!" ”

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know."

After leaving Arnold's house, I went to the adventurer's base in Dasai City, found out the mansion of the great nobleman in charge of the jewelry store, bought a gift, and went to the door in person.

Sure enough, as Arnold expected, I couldn't even pass the doorman level when I came here.

In desperation, I stuffed the gift to the doorman and asked him why the nobles refused to see me.

The doorman who received the gift was very talkative, and he told me that the nobleman was angry.

I wondered what he could do with such a big nobleman.

The doorman smiled: "You don't know, the master he had prepared a room for my king to stay in January before the Japanese Wind Championship was held, and he also gave a heavy gift, begging the city lord to help him and arrange for my king to stay in this mansion, but as a result, the city lord ignored him, and arranged for my king to live in his own mansion, which is good, the money was spent in vain, and the hope was disappointed, do you say he can not be angry." ”

"That's right," I laughed.

Leaving the mansion of the great nobles, I began to wonder if I was going to visit the orc king.

However, I don't have anything to do with the Orc King, and the only thing that can be considered a favor is probably related to the goblin assistance team.

But will he remember this kindness?

I smiled bitterly: Forget it, a person with a big family like this may have forgotten about the goblin assistance team in the morning, so don't ask for trouble.

Moreover, the lord of Balan City may not be able to find it.

Now that people are trying to curry favor with the orc king, how can they bother to pay attention to a layman like me.

I couldn't help but sigh when I thought of this.

Because the shares are not owned by one person, it is not feasible to buy a jewelry store with a title deed.

Moreover, if you want the owner of the jewelry store to come forward to transfer the shares, it will definitely not work, we are not related, and the other is not for a reason, why should he transfer it to me, which will definitely make others wonder, and may even cause unnecessary trouble.

It is impossible to gather all the nobles who hold shares and negotiate with them, because they will not profit from it, so they will certainly not cooperate with me.

It would not be advisable to kill all the medium-sized and small nobles who owned shares and then seize the shops, and to do so would probably attract the wrath of the large nobles who ruled the area.

I'm not afraid of the great nobles, but the new Guild of Valor is still immature, and I don't want it to be ravaged by wind and rain in the land of Balan City, just after taking root.
