In the matter between the nobles, Su Yan did not plan to participate in it.

From the moment he woke up in this world, he was no longer the lord of the Grey Sand Lord, Border Baron Levi.

So when Sophia and David invited Su Yan to join, he simply refused.

However, for the sake of the other party's treat, Su Yan still sat with them for a while very kindly, and provided them with a few references by the way. However, in view of the rules of the game between the nobles, it is basically impossible to adopt these suggestions put forward by Su Yan, which is also the reason why Su Yan does not like the nobles.

Because the nobles must follow the rules of the game they have set themselves, no matter how excessive, they must follow the rules of the game, and if someone wants to overturn the board at will, then the nobleman will immediately be boycotted by the other nobles. And this is also the reason why the aristocratic faction dares to fight against the royal family, because to put it bluntly, the so-called king is just a big nobleman whose comprehensive strength is stronger than other nobles.

In fact, Davy came to Acala City this time because of the Fallen Hand. It's just that I didn't expect to run into the ruby caravan and a knight captain from the ancient tower fortress so coincidentally, and it can be said that there is a lot of embarrassment between the two sides this unintentional meeting.

And that's why the ruby caravan is so impatient.

After all, they have a weak heart.

But even if there was Su Yan's testimony to prove that the ruby caravan was coming for those elves, and that Duke Guta did intend to cause a war conflict between the Lord of the North and the Council of Elders in the North, but due to the lack of strong enough direct evidence, David still couldn't act at will. Even if he directly broke into the ruby caravan to find evidence, it was something that David couldn't do.

If David really dares to do this, then I am afraid that a war conflict will break out between the Duke of Guta and the Prince of Ahrens first.

Therefore, even though Davy, as the chief of guard of Prince Ahrens, has obtained the noble title of a viscount, and can even be said to be the strongest person in Akara City now—without counting Su Yan's combat strength and the fact that Byron has died—he still can't act at will.

The game of nobility, to put it bluntly, is a shackle, which limits the ability of all "nobles" to act.

Of course, if you find a suitable fig leaf, that's a different story.

So Su Yan didn't speak at all, just watched Sophia and David constantly arguing about every detail of the plan. He really wanted to leave and go home, but seeing that these guys were very familiar with bringing themselves to the City Lord's Mansion together, Su Yan could only give up the idea of leaving early.

He knew that the other party must have something else to say to him.

In line with the idea that there was nothing to do for the time being anyway, Su Yan naturally would not refuse, so he had dinner at the City Lord's Mansion by the way.

After dinner, David and the city lord of Acala went to the study.

Tony didn't stay at the City Lord's Mansion either, but went back to the Tedmis Rose Mercenary Regiment next door.

Only Sophia was left in charge of entertaining Su Yan.

"Miss Sophia, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

In the side hall, Su Yan said straight to Sophia.

In most aristocratic mansions, two or three small side halls are set up next to the dining room where the banquet is prepared. This is a place for guests to take a break after a banquet, but because the light here is usually dim, it gradually becomes a steal. A place of love or tryst. Basically, as long as the meeting is a little more formal, I will not choose to use this dimly lit side hall: if it is a more private meeting between superiors and subordinates, it is usually a study; If you are familiar with each other, then it is a private living room, study room, etc.

And when Su Yan and Sophia meet for the first time, it is usually a more formal occasion such as a reception room and a well-lit side hall.

Take it directly to the lounge next to the banquet hall.

Su Yan was really curious about what this woman wanted to do.

"Mr. Levy, are you interested in joining my mercenary group?" Sophia stared at Su Yan before asking.

Her attitude was sincere, her expression was sincere, and her tone was sincere, and she looked like a master who was genuinely eager to acquire talent and chose Corporal Lixian.

However, considering the other party's status as a nobleman, Su Yan chose to take it with reservations.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Mr. Levy." Sophia didn't wait for Su Yan to speak, and then said again, "Let me talk about the conditions I can give first." ”

"Oh?" Su Yan raised his eyebrows.

He now believes that the other party really wants to invite him to join, and those expressions just now are not fake.

"As long as you are willing to join, you can immediately become the third deputy head of the Tedmis mercenary group." Sophia spoke, "And not only that, but Tedmis can also expand further, opening a detachment in Northern Winterfell or Vadaan, and you will also be the head of the detachment. When the time comes, your position will not even be below mine, and if you want to become a nobleman, I can ask my brother to give you the title of a baron. ”

Once the scale of development of the mercenary group reaches a certain limit, then the establishment of a sub-group is naturally a sure thing.

This is also the development route of most mercenary groups in this world.

It's just that not everyone can hold the position of head of a sub-regiment. Because there are so many things that need to be involved, one carelessness is likely to completely ruin the reputation that the group has built up with great difficulty. Therefore, if a mercenary group develops to the limit, if it fails to find a suitable candidate for the head of the sub-group, these mercenary groups would rather shrink to one place than rashly open a sub-group.

The Rose of Tedmis, as the well-deserved number one mercenary group in Acala City, can even rank in the top three even in the entire northern border, which shows that this mercenary group that takes the elite route has indeed developed to a bottleneck stage. If you want to continue to develop, expand your influence and enhance your reputation, there is really no second way but to develop a sub-group.

Sophia has this kind of thought, obviously not a day or two: "You can even bring the Storm Mercenary Regiment to the sub-regiment together, I believe that with your strength, if you want to become the head of the regiment, that good old man of Steulson will definitely not object." So why not just pull them all into the group? No matter how you look at it, this shouldn't be a loss for you, right? ”

Any mercenary, with the slightest idealism, would probably not refuse Sophia's proposal.

But it's a pity that Sophia met Su Yan.

"I'm not interested." Su Yan shook his head and simply refused, "I'm just staying here in Akara temporarily, and I'll leave here soon." I have other things to deal with, so I think you'd better go to someone else about your proposal. …… Actually, I think Stuelsen is good, maybe you can talk to him? ”

Sophia's brows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't figure out whether Su Yan's attitude was true or false.

"If you don't think I'm on good enough terms, then we'll ......"

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood me." Su Yan shook his head, and this time his expression became a lot more serious, "It's not that I don't think the conditions you offer are enough, but I really won't stay here." …… According to my current situation, as long as the fog investigation incident in Warcraft Canyon is confirmed by the Mercenary Guild, and I get the Silver Rank Certificate of the Mercenary Guild, I will leave here. So what you're talking about, doesn't appeal to me in any way. ”

Sophia nodded and did not continue the topic: "I see. …… May I ask, what is it that makes you have to leave? ”

"Anna's mother." Su Yan smiled, "I have a daughter, you should all know about it, right?" ”

Sophia nodded, this matter is not a secret, as long as you ask a little in the Mercenary Guild, many people will know.

"Well, her mother...... Anna's mother is missing, so I'm going to look for her. Su Yan opened his mouth and said, "There is news that the last place where she appeared was in the Guta Fortress, so I plan to go over there to have a look." The reason why I have to wait for the mercenary status of the silver rank is because this identity will be more convenient in the ancient tower fortress. ”

"I see." Sophia nodded.

The Old North is indeed very different from the New North.

The situation in the New North is not yet completely stabilized, and there are bandits and bandits everywhere. However, the strength of these bandits is not strong, and they are only forced to fall into the grass because of the destruction of the old country, which is basically to disturb the law and order, rob those passing merchants who have no resistance, and cannot afford to make any big waves. So here in the north, what is needed more now are those low-level mercenaries whose strength is not very strong, but the base is even larger.

And the Old North, and even the entire hinterland of the Tria Kingdom and other places, because of the relatively stable situation, those who dare to make trouble are powerful guys, so they need higher-level mercenaries more.

It's not just strength, but having a higher rank status in the Mercenary Guild.

Because this often means experience.

Although Sophia expressed great regret for failing to win over Su Yan to join, she did not continue to insist.

So soon, Su Yan left the City Lord's Mansion and walked in the direction of home.

This time, he didn't meet anyone on the road.

Fortunately, Stuelsen's Storm Mercenary Group used to be a relatively wealthy type, so the villa he bought as a residence was not particularly far from the City Lord's Mansion, about twenty minutes away.

But when Su Yan stepped into the iron door of the villa's vestibule, his brows did furrow involuntarily.
