Doug Hall first recalled it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he deliberately imitated Yunlang's tone and replied: "He said: I have a proposal, I want to open a safe passage to Corrant City from the direction of the Twilight Forest, and the specific thing is ....... I think it's better to meet the patriarch of the Hall family, and then talk about it slowly. ”

"What? He actually had such thoughts? You know, even the imperial family is not capable of doing it!" Hearing the news, Sylvia Hall's first reaction was also unacceptable and unbelievable.

Doug repeatedly assured that he was not mistaken, and he took the opportunity to mention the content of the conversation after that: "By the way, he also said: after the safe road is opened, all kinds of minerals of the Hall family can go directly to the city of Corrant, to the north can go straight up the river to the imperial capital, and to the south can be transported to the Green Sea Plain. At the same time, he also stressed that we need the Hall family to respond as soon as possible. ”

His memory is already good, and he memorizes it very carefully, and he retells it almost word for word......

After saying this, he exhaled lightly and waited for the judgment and choice of the matriarch.

Sylvia's mood was a little excited, but later, it quickly calmed down.

"Anything else?" she asked, after a moment's thought.

Doug shook his head: "That's all he said....... Since I'm only the captain of the guard and can't make decisions, he doesn't seem to be very willing to talk to me much. After telling me this, let Mansha send me away.......

"That's how it is!" Sylvia slowly stood up, unconsciously walking over to the giant axe on the shelf, and gently grasping the handle of the axe.

She has a habit of holding her weapon and making up her mind when she has a difficult decision.......

After a long moment, she let go of the handle of the axe and looked back at Doug, "Tell me what you think about this?"

When Doug heard this, he was stunned and said hurriedly: "This is a big deal, I shouldn't talk nonsense!"

"Haha, what's a big deal?" she smiled, a little self-deprecating: "Nowadays, there are not many people in the clan who are willing to do something practical, and you are one of them." Tell me about it, I'd like to hear from you. ”

Doug nodded, he sorted out his thoughts, and said his opinion: "Patriarch, although the new lord is not very old, but the strength of his control is not ordinary, his battle maid is actually a fourth-order sage, and among his guards, including Mansa White, there are actually four third-order, and even Mansa is about to break through the fourth-order......."

"These things are also very important, why didn't you say them together......? You're going to hide it from me!" Sylvia glared at him fiercely.

Doug smiled awkwardly and hurriedly explained, "That's not the case! Even if you don't ask, I'll take the initiative to say it later....... It's just that I don't think these things are as important as the previous ones. ”

"Alright, go ahead and talk about what you think!" Mansha sat back down and listened intently.

"In addition to these, Mansha also inadvertently mentioned that most of the new lord's guards are her subordinates, and these subordinates of hers did not have such a strong strength originally, but they were favored by this lord, so they .......advanced in a short period of time."

"This can't ......." Sylvia slapped her thigh, interrupting unconsciously before he could finish speaking.

Later, she calmed down a little and explained: "I have never heard of anything that can make people directly promoted, if there is such a good thing, who is willing to spend energy on penance!"

Doug nodded in agreement, but insisted that he was not mistaken: "Patriarch, it's really not me talking nonsense, but Mansha mentioned it herself, and because of some taboos, she is unwilling to explain the specific reason. At that time, I didn't dare to ask more....... But as far as I can guess, the kind of thing Mansha mentioned should be real. Otherwise, he, the new lord, would be able to recruit so many third-order powerhouses from there!"

Sylvia also insisted on her opinion: "Don't forget, he is the heir of the Liuyun family, one of the twelve electors. Since the Liuyun family could let a fourth-order sage become his battle maid, it was also possible to let a few third-order powerhouses become his guards. What's more, judging from other sources, it seems that he still has a powerful artifact......."

Speaking of this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Why did I forget this, artifact....... Did you find anything suspicious about the artifact?"

Doug recalls it again and tries not to miss a single detail, and finally he finds the suspicious thing he was looking for: "I remember that when I visited him, there were two small silver-white chests beside him, and a very special strange object tightly wrapped in a piece of cloth, which looked like a slightly larger crossbow ......."

"Crossbow?....... The stars fell, and the divine punishment fell from the sky......" Sylvia struggled to find the connection between the two, and muttered to herself in disbelief: "Could it be that the artifact can knock down the stars in the sky and inflict divine punishment?"

She tried to break her head, but she couldn't find a similar artifact......

Doug had a flash of inspiration, thought of a possibility, hesitated, and tried to remind: "If the rumored artifact is really a crossbow, will it have an extremely long range, so that uninformed people mistakenly identify the falling arrows and fall on the spot?"

"Ah......" Sylvia savored it carefully, and also agreed: "Is it really possible....... If he really has this kind of artifact, wouldn't he be invincible in the world?"

At this moment, Doug's mind was running extremely fast, and he never realized that he could be so smart: "Probably not...... In my impression, many legendary artifacts have many limitations, and every time they are used, they have to be prepared for a long time, and even pay a great price. If the new lord is really in charge of a powerful artifact, and deliberately reveals it when entering the territory stone, as a deterrent....... It's not impossible!"

He paused, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment: "So....... It makes sense to let the proud Mansha work for him!"

"Not bad....... Not bad....... Not bad!" After Sylvia repeated it three times in succession, she smiled and praised, "Doug, you are really a rare talent, so it seems that it is a bit condescending to let you be the captain of the family's guard. After a while, I will adjust your position appropriately and let you contribute as much as possible to the Hall family. ”

When Doug heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up to thank him.

"Go on! maybe you can surprise me more......." Sylvia urged.

Doug calmed down and continued, "I think ...... The arrival of this new lord has also brought a powerful force, eager to connect Shining Gold Town and Corrant City, if the internal forces of Shining Gold Town can fully support it, coupled with the full assistance of the Liuyun family in Korant City, it may be able to do this. As for how to choose, it is up to you to decide......."

"Hah......." Sylvia smiled suddenly, and smiled brightly, the previous depression was almost swept away, and she suddenly stood up: "Of course I want to visit this new lord, if he is willing and able to help us solve the existing predicament, my Hall family will do their best to help him open the way from the Twilight Forest to Corrant City." ”

In fact, she had already made up her mind, but she just lacked some stronger support. And Doug's words happened to dispel all her concerns, and she didn't hesitate at this moment.

"When a lord officially takes over, a celebration is held to show presence and power. We, the Hall family, are going to visit before that to show our extra support for him. As she pondered, she looked at Doug again: "By the way, at that time, you can observe what this lord generally likes? If we prepare accordingly, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"

Doug hesitated, but then stopped.

"Say, there are no outsiders here!" Sylvia urged, impatiently.

I felt that the way he looked at Mansa was a little unusual....... It seems that he has a special affection for older, more beautiful women, and I recommend ......."

Sylvia didn't wait for Doug to finish speaking, she immediately blushed and threatened viciously: "Don't even think about it, I will never use myself as a bargaining chip......"
