Lance returned to the stands alone, and instead of seeing Viren and the others, he saw a stranger.

His eyes fell on the middle-aged man, the gorgeous golden patterns on his clothes showed his identity, but the pair of somewhat worn boots did not match well, and the delicate badge was engraved with a blooming rose, which Lance remembered was the symbol of the Ayton family, one of the richest families in the imperial capital.

As soon as the line was released during the day, some fish couldn't wait to bite it, but this big fish was a little more than expected.

"The Baron is younger than I thought. A respectful tone and a calm smile are indeed easy to get into a good mood, and it would have worked even better if it hadn't done so to hide the contemptuous look.

It's a shark.

"You're from the Ayton family?"

"Yes, I'm just a messenger sent by the family, and I heard that your territory needs investment, so we want to see ..............."

"Want to see if my territory has that value?"

The interrupted words made this one stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lance to be so straightforward.

But he still nodded, and that was what he came for.

Lance rubbed his eyes, there was a dull bruise in his sockets that had not yet dissipated, and his calm tone was not mixed with anger because of contempt, "Tell me how you want to invest, maybe I can think about it." ”

The messenger took out a small notebook, and the dense text seemed to record every detail of how to invest in Lance territory.

"First of all, we've already sent someone to survey your territory. ”

"Located in the east-southeast corner of the Empire, forgive my bluntness, your territory is indeed too remote. ”

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, he had been to his territory in less than half a day, you must know that Lil Town is the frontier of the empire, and this is the center of the empire.

Seemingly unaware of Lance's actions, he continued to speak bluntly, "And your land is inferior by imperial standards, and you can only barely grow ordinary crops. ”

Seeing that Lance didn't fluctuate at all, the evaluation continued to blurt out, "There are still two places of death, although the Holy Cross has almost purified these two lands, but if you want to restore the plantable level, you need not only money, but also a lot of time." ”

"So far, no excavating veins have been found, and no exotic species have been found. ”

"In general, in terms of land, the land you choose is not really worth investing in.

The bright red gaze was as calm as water, and nothing came out of these derogatory words, because that was a fact in itself.

On the contrary, it made Lance have a full understanding of his territory more clearly, which is the evaluation from the imperial capital business family.

In fact, Lance has not yet made a formal plan for his own land, although he knows a lot of things, but when it comes to the construction and management of the territory, it is not something that can be solved by knowing, and it still requires a lot of substantive experience.

A man who has been in this area for many years explained to him that there is no reason to choose to refuse, at least it is worth simply listening to it.

"Then why did you find me?"

The Courier's composure towards Lance seemed unexpected, not what a young man with a strong heart should be, and his words were deliberately accentuated.

"Quite simply, because of the location. ”

His pupils shrank slightly, "You mean the Oro Empire?"

"Yes, your territory is the closest to the Oro Empire in the southeast corner. ”

Lance's face gradually darkened, and he looked directly at him with a deep gaze, "I remember, the Oro Empire is our enemy country. ”

"You don't want to charge me with treason. ”

The stern tone was directed at the messenger, but he did not seem to be afraid.

"Lord Baron, I don't know if you have heard a sentence, there is no absolute relationship, only absolute interests. ”

"I don't know if you've heard a word, but benefits must be based on the premise that they can be obtained. ”

The bright red pupils met the courier's gaze that concealed the essence of a merchant in his calmness, an ordinary courier would not say such words, what could be his intentions?

The atmosphere becomes subtle.

"Don't make yourself so nervous, I'm here to talk about business, and I'm not done yet. ”

"What we sell to the Oro Empire is something that the Empire has long abandoned and will not have any impact on the Empire. ”

"As long as you agree, then we will take full responsibility for the construction of the territory, and you will not have to pay a single dollar. ”

"So, Lord Baron, what do you think?"

With Reims's territory as a transportation hub, build a black business chain, as long as it operates, there will be a steady flow of funds, as a lord, he can not only quickly build a territory with the help of the Ayton family, but in the future, as long as the corresponding trade tax is collected, it is enough for him to make a lot of money.

He doesn't need to give a penny.

Listening to the messenger's tone, he had done this more than once, and the Ayton family still stood in the imperial capital today, which meant that the risk he had to take was very small.

It's a sure-fire deal.

A smile appeared on the Courier's face, and he seemed confident that the Baron would choose to agree, for anyone with such a large stake would choose to agree.

However, an unexpected answer appeared.

"I chose to refuse. ”

"Why?"

"You seem to have forgotten what I said. ”

"What?"

Bright red eyes looked at the messenger, "I need someone who can invest in my territory and settle down, you can't do that, and besides, you shouldn't be from the Ayton family." ”

The words of revelation did not shake the Messenger's emotions, and instead he showed a very appreciative expression.

"Sure enough, to become a baron at this age, you are really beyond my imagination, I can ask, how do you see it?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I can help you build your realm and make it a shining star in the southeastern corner of the empire, and by formal means!"

The pale green eyes sparkled, this was not conceit, but a strong confidence in one's own talents!

"I'm sorry, but I'm still refusing. ”

The messenger blushed, unable to believe Lance's words, "Do you know who I am?!"

"I have no interest in knowing your name. ”

Whatever the man's intentions, he was not interested in the slightest, because it was not for these reasons that he had chosen to acquire the territory.

Staring at Lance leaving his back, the messenger sighed helplessly, "Could it be that this time it won't work........................?

"No, I can't give up yet, he doesn't know who I really are, I still have a chance. ”

"Lance, you're my only hope for a rise!"

"Isn't it someone who wants to settle down? It just so happens that I don't want to stay in this filthy place anymore. ”

There was a raging fire in his eyes!
