Chapter 238: The City Lord's Visit
Acoste didn't know if this was done well, anyway, he didn't have the ambition to conquer the entire continent of Faerun, or his ambition was not on the secular royal power, but on the path of pursuing power and making himself the strongest group of people in the world......
Of course, if the other party can agree to him, it is also a good thing, in line with the idea that good things should not be wasted, the half-elf sword master still thinks that Elune should receive an orthodox mage system education. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Think about it, if anyone teaches a genius who can achieve spell fire by herself in the wilderness, if she is given the best environment for her to learn, how far can she go?
Legendary professionals are at least, and if the achievement is a little higher, it is difficult for the half-elf sword master to estimate where the opponent's upper limit is.........
Midnight and Jennifer ran to the underground alchemy room of the villa to visit, Kranvo went to the open space alone to hone his martial arts, Ling and Sarina went to the kitchen to see what ingredients were ready for lunch, Serena and Vile mysteriously ran to an empty room on the second floor, and they didn't know what to do, after a while, In the otherwise bustling hall, Acoste was the only one left sitting on the sofa like a silly hat, holding a cup of warm coffee in his hand......
In fact, logically speaking, Acoste should be the busiest at the moment.
Because just accepted Carl. Li Ke's large wealth gifts, Acoste at the moment not to mention running around to take over those things, but also to go to their own veins, farmland, to give condolences to the people who are working hard there, to tell who is their new master.
Moreover, servants, private soldiers, family members and so on have to be re-recruited, and no one will use the henchmen left by their predecessors as their subordinates, at least the vast majority of people will not do so.
But the half-elf sword master now looked like he didn't care, he just sat in place in a daze so leisurely, as if everything didn't belong to him.
In fact, he really doesn't look down on such a little wealth, if it is according to the attitude of the half-elf half a year ago, in line with the idea that mosquito meat is laughing and meat is also meat, Yacoste is estimated to still be running, but only half a year later, his Starry Night Territory has become the premier territory in the West Hartland region, and has a certain influence in the entire Faeron Continent, and even the floating city has escaped, does he still care about a businessman's little wealth?
Or does a person with billions of dollars still care about the one or two thousand he gets?
It's just that Acoste doesn't have the idea of completely idleness here, in fact, he has already thought that in addition to temporarily serving as a foothold for their day, this place can also be handed over to Vile in the future, so that she can send some assassins in the Night Mask to come over and transform this place into a temporary stronghold.
It just so happened that the Night Mask had been trying to infiltrate their own forces in the Sambia Kingdom, but first, they focused on the Dragon Coast, and second, the Sambia Kingdom was still very repulsive to foreign forces, so the Assassin organization had never taken action against it, and now this was an opportunity.
But at this time, the half-elf sword master suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he felt something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly....
"Knock ....."
Sure enough, in the next second, a knock came from the door, Yacoste waved his hand slightly, and the door that was originally closed opened with a click as if it was held down by an invisible hand.
If anyone else is here, they will be stunned by Acoste's hand....
It is not difficult for the caster to cause this phenomenon, a simple 0-ring magic mage can handle all this, but if it is not the caster, it can open the door through the air, which is a bit scary.
Many things can be done with spells, but when there is a person who does something similar to a spell without using a spell, then this person must be extremely terrifying, for example, the half-elf swordmaster who is now leaning on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed.
There were three middle-aged men who entered, one of whom Yacoste still knew, it was Lieutenant Tuhart, the leader of the miners' squad who had recently assisted the fat merchant.
And among these three people, he is not the protagonist, because he is walking in the front, acting as a bodyguard, and the last person among the three is dressed as a manservant, obviously the one in the middle is the main master, and he can let the captain of the city lord's personal guard to be his guard, so the identity of the main master is also about to come out.
"Lord of Iheom City, Venerable Lord Karaze, what is the wind that has brought you here?" Acoste half-narrowed his eyes, in fact, he had expected that the city lord would come to visit him personally, but he didn't expect the other party to come so early..........
After all, he had just done an earth-shattering thing in the city, and the half-elf sword master had successfully created an image for everyone who couldn't see through his depths, so as the lord of Iheum City, or the person who ate the biggest cake in Iheum City, he would definitely come over to probe his tone and see what he meant.
"Hehe, I'm here to congratulate Your Excellency, Your Excellency has just accepted Karl. Li Ke's property, although I am not ashamed of his personality, I have to say that the wealth under his hands is not a small amount. β
Karadze walked in with a smile, Tuhat next to him nodded at Acoste, and then brought a stool for his master, while the servant took the tea set, took the homemade spice from his bosom and began to brew it.
"We Mingren don't talk in secret, Lord Karaze, what is the purpose of your coming?" Acoste is still the same as he is, but obviously the city lord is not an ordinary person, and his cultivation is unexpectedly high, and he is not angry because of Acoste's disrespect.
"Okay, Your Excellency is really a happy person, I came here this time for three things, the first thing is to ask Your Excellency, what is your purpose in coming to the Kingdom of Sambia?" Kaladze sat up straight unhurriedly, and the momentum of a person who has been in the position for a long time is so exuded, this momentum is not the killing intent of a warrior or the oppressive battle intent, but a thorough self-confidence, as if nothing in the world can restrain his own self-confidence!
"I just asked the city gate guard, your adventure team only came today, so what is the purpose of coming to the kingdom of Sambia with such a strong strength? Although I am a merchant, I am also a canonized duke of the kingdom of Sambia, and I am responsible for the safety of the people of my own realm and for this ancient kingdom, I have to ask this presumptuous question. β
"You may think that there is no force in Iheum City that can stop you, but believe me, you definitely don't want to be an enemy of the entire kingdom of Sambia."
Karadze finished saying these words for a long time, and then looked at Acoste with a pair of bright eyes, wanting to see what kind of reaction would be on the other man's face.
But it was a pity that he disappointed the old fox, and Acoste still looked leisurely and complacent, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart at this moment.
"The duke is so worried about the country and the people, but he is really a pillar of the Sambia Kingdom." Acoste smiled and looked at the other, oblivious to the threat hidden in Karaze's words just now.
"So in your heart, what is important to your kingdom of Sambia? Or is this Iheum City important? β
"What do you mean by that?" The pupils of the city lord of Iheum City contracted suddenly, and a killing intent like substance instantly enveloped the three of them, and Tuhat even pulled out the long sword at his waist and blocked it in front of his master.
However, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, the clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat in an instant, and his hands were trembling slightly......
And the servant was even more unbearable, he desperately stretched out his hand to put his hand into the small bag on his waist, although this servant was a spellcaster pretending, the half-elf had already seen this, but at this moment, under the suppression of his huge aura, this spellcaster couldn't even move!
"My simple point is that we did come to Sambia for a special purpose, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
Acoste raised his left hand slightly, and a black flame jumped on his palm so abruptly, this action straightened the eyes of the mage behind the city lord, the other party actually controlled the natural elements so naturally without reciting spells and spells, and the problem was that the other party was not a spellcaster at all!!
The half-elf waved casually, and the black flame turned into a butterfly hovering around the three people, and finally stopped on the shoulder of the city lord Karaze!
A very fishy smell permeated the living room, and the three of them, especially Karaze, could feel the power of death contained in the black flame butterfly the most, but they were just standing in place unscathed, unable to do anything!
If they are allowed to die in an instant, it can be regarded as a relief in disguise, but this feeling of being able to die at any time but never dead, hovering around the ghost door closing every moment really makes those three people prostrate........
"I'm very strong, I'm sure you can see that, but you're right, unless you break through a limit, you can't compete with the state apparatus, and I haven't broken through that limit." Acoste waved his hand, and the black flame butterfly finally left Karaze's shoulder, flew into the air, and dispersed into a brilliant spark back into his body.
"Poof!"
Karadze sat on the chair because of his collapse, and Tuhat was not having a good time as a warrior professional, and the long sword that was originally clenched in his hand had fallen to the floor at some point.....
"But I'm still fine with you ants, so I'll give you a choice, either you make my affairs public and let the entire Sambia Kingdom deal with me, but before that I will burn this Iheum City, or your family's city of blood, or you don't know what to do, I'll spare your lives, of course, maybe we can cooperate in the future, how about it?" This is a fair deal, right? β
The Half-Elf Swordmaster smiled, "I can assure you that my purpose has nothing to do with Iheum City, in fact, today I really just pulled out my sword because I was in a good mood, and after tonight, I will leave this city." β
"Well, I believe you, Lord Acoste, I won't report you to the kingdom!" The city lord of Iheom City gasped for a few big breaths before he came to his senses, the other party was a radish and a mallet, could he still not know how to do it?
What's more, the young overly half-elf on the other side said well, after all, the kingdom of Sambia is a commercial kingdom, a kingdom composed of merchants, there is no set of divine authority of kings at all, in fact, all their territories, the establishment of cities are built by themselves, and the kingdom has no half-dime relationship, at this time, whether to choose the hard work of their family for generations or choose the loyalty to the kingdom, I am afraid that every merchant will make the most "correct" decision.
"Then the second question, Your Excellency." Karaze's attitude was a lot more respectful, originally he thought that he should be able to suppress the other party with a high-level warrior and a big mage, but it turned out that he was too naΓ―ve.
"What are you going to do with your possessions in Iheom, and if you're going to get out of here, are these things going to be.... Can you sell it to us, and I'll help you exchange it for those that you can take away? β
"Don't bother you, Lord Karazeze." Acoste smiled and rejected the other party's proposal, "I will naturally have special people come to accept these farmlands, villas and mineral veins, but don't worry, those people are all clean people, this is just an old friend's care for another group of old friends, you won't want to stop it, right?" β
"No, of course not!"
In the final analysis, in this world, whoever has the big fist and who has the weight of what he says, send some people with clean foundations to meddle in the interests of Iheum City, if Karadze really believes this, then he will not be in the position of the current city lord.
But even if the half-elf swordmaster was clearly deceiving him, what could Karaze do? Could it be that he would still take advantage of the strength of his whole city to fight the other party in a life-and-death battle? And taking 10,000 steps back, even if Karazek had the courage, he didn't think that his ordinary soldiers could pose much of a threat to the other side........... (To be continued.) )
