Chapter 379: Transactions and Cooperation
Miluo Harbor, Lord's Palace, Underground Prison.
The icy prison is airtight, and the damp and cold environment makes people feel oppressive and hopeless. Master Harry sat on some damp straw, staring blankly at the ceiling, waiting for his final fate.
With the sound of footsteps, a gray-haired, middle-aged butler appeared outside Master Harry's cell.
"Open." The butler gestured to the guards on the side.
"Yes, sir," the guard stepped forward with the key, and opened the cell where Master Harry was being held.
The butler walked in and looked condescendingly at Master Harry, who was sitting on the ground with a decadent face, "You, get up." ”
"Have you decided to execute me?" Master Harry looked blankly at the butler in front of him.
"Humph! I would love to send you to the gods, but alas, your master has come to pick you up. ”
"My master?" Master Harry's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up from the ground, "Your Excellency came to save me?" ”
"Humph!" The butler snorted unhappily and took out a key, "Reach out." ”
Master Harry hurriedly stretched out his hands.
With a soft "click~", the butler untied the handcuffs from Master Harry's hands.
"Come with me. Don't keep adults waiting. The butler turned and walked out.
"Where's Amethe?" Master Harry hurriedly walked up and asked.
The butler walked out in silence.
"What did you do to my wife, Amy?" Master Harry asked anxiously, and as he spoke, he held out his hands to the butler.
"Bang!" The middle-aged butler suddenly turned around and slammed his fist into Master Harry's abdomen.
"Hmm! ~"Master Harry bent over and crouched down.
The middle-aged butler withdrew his hand and stared coldly at Master Harry: "Although Madame told me to let you go, it doesn't mean that I forgive you for what you did before. ”
Master Harry looked up at the middle-aged butler in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of humiliation and unwillingness.
The middle-aged butler glanced at Master Harry indifferently, turned around, and walked out with resolute steps.
Maester Harry hesitated, got up, and left the dungeon after the middle-aged butler.
Led by the butler, Maester Harry made his way to the castle's parlour.
The walls of the parlor were covered with paintings and beautiful brocades, and on the ornate Misu carpet were soft sofas, on which Green and Grand Duchess Igor sat and chatted happily.
"Madame, Miss, I brought someone here." The butler said to the two ladies sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking afternoon tea.
"Your Excellency." Master Harry nervously walked over to Green's side.
Green turned his head and looked at the ragged Maester Harry, "You've disappointed me. ”
"My lord, I didn't expect those people to suddenly turn back!"
"Don't make excuses for your stupidity. If it weren't for the fact that you're still a little useful to me, I really don't want to come to save you. ”
Maester Harry lowered his head, his eyes full of grievance.
"Madam, I'm sorry to let you see the incompetence of your subordinates." Green turned his head and said to Grand Duchess Igor.
"This can be regarded as not knowing each other." The Duchess smiled slightly, turned to the butler, and ordered, "Alfrey, take him down and change his clothes." ”
"Yes, ma'am." The middle-aged butler bowed respectfully, turned to Master Harry on the side, and said, "Follow me." I'll take you to change your clothes. ”
"My lord, have you seen my wife, Amy?" Master Harry hurriedly asked Green.
"She's fine. Thank you, Mrs. Igor, for not embarrassing your wife. ”
After hearing Green's words, Master Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Can I go see my wife?" ”
On the sofa opposite Green, Grand Duchess Igor covered her mouth with a fan and looked at the master and servant in front of her with a smile.
Green turned his head and looked at Maester Harry with displeasure, "Yes. ”
"Good! Good! That's great. ”
Greene: "Go down." ”
"Okay." Maester Harry followed the butler.
After waiting for Maester Harry to leave, Green turned to Grand Duchess Igor and said, "My subordinates don't know the rules, so I make you laugh." ”
The Grand Duchess smiled slightly: "Scholars are like this, they only care about what they say they care about, and because of this, they can discover many things that we don't usually find." ”
"Can I ask you about the art of the Imperial Majesty? As you can see, I've become a lord, but I'm not very good at managing my men. ”
"Oh~ There is actually nothing difficult in managing subordinates, the key is to maintain majesty and ensure that subordinates respect themselves."
"Hmm...... Can you be specific? For example, the bachelor you just met, what should I do to make him respect me? ”
"If it were me, I would punish him! Punish him harshly, thus guaranteeing that he will not make the same mistakes in the future. ”
Green frowned slightly: "Excessive punishment will only make his subordinates afraid, and there is no way to make his subordinates respect, right?" ”
"Oh~ Your Excellency the Demon King, you seem to have some incomprehensible feelings of respect and fear." The Grand Duchess smiled slightly, "The two feelings of respect and fear can actually be transformed into each other. Through a strong hand, let the subordinates fear and even fear, but at the same time let them understand that as long as things are done well, then they can be rewarded, then fear will become respect. In fact, many times, there is no difference between respect and fear. ”
"Hmm...... I see. Taught. ”
The Grand Duchess stood up, walked to the bookcase in the corner, and took out a book from it.
"This book is "Lord's Management", you can read it if you have time." Grand Duchess Igor handed a book to Green.
Green looked at the book in his hand: "Oh~ This is exactly what I need most at the moment." ”
"Hehehe~" Grand Duchess Igor covered the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, "I am looking forward to you being able to defeat the Kingdom of Northbold and then establish a state in the north." ”
"I will."
Exchanges between the aristocracy were often tedious. For the aristocracy, the exchange of affection was often more important than the discussion of affairs, so when Greene and Archduchess Igor had finalized the overall intention of the two parties, the remaining detailed terms were no longer the responsibility of the two "leaders", but were handed over to their subordinates. Alice discussed on behalf of Green and the housekeeper of the Igor family, and Green, as the "leader", the only thing to do was to chat with the Grand Duchess of Igor and contact feelings.
Annoying aristocracy. This kind of small talk is time-consuming, but it is necessary.
When Green and Archduchess Igor had talked for a while, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and Alice and an old butler entered.
Green and Grand Duchess Igor stopped talking at the same time.
"Master." Alice smiled and handed a document to Green.
"I'm very sorry, ma'am." The old butler handed a document to Grand Duchess Igor.
Green and the Grand Duchess opened the file in their hands at the same time and flipped through it.
These are the specific details of the cooperation between the two parties and the terms of various transactions in the future. For Grand Duke Igor, wood, ore, Mithril, crystals, cloth, etc., of the Northlands were very valuable commodities; As for the Demon King Leader, silk, gold, pure gold, precious stones, herbs, etc. in the south are also materials that he urgently needs.
After reading the contract in her hand, Grand Duchess Igor couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Alice, you are really completely ruthless." ”
"Ahh Alice smiled like a little fox, "And I've been expelled from the Igor family, and now I'm a stranger who has nothing to do with the Igor family~"
The Grand Duchess shook her head with a wry smile, turned to Green and said, "My daughter, now she is completely focused on you, and she doesn't even want her parents for this." ”
"I'll be kind to Alice." Green smiled, "She's essential to me and my territory. ”
"Well, let's have a good time working together."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
