Chapter 6: Get Out
"Look, Lisa, these people are not as easy to deal with as the three groups just now. "There were only three creditors left in the room, three people who were tricky in Shure's eyes.
The first was of course the proud young man, with gorgeous clothes, well-cut and very elaborate materials, from the fabric to the lining, and even the thread for sewing cufflinks, which were difficult to see on the market. Wearing such clothes is simply putting the label of old aristocracy on the face.
The young man is about twenty years old, with the unique flamboyance of his youth, but with an aura that does not match his age, it is clear that this is a new generation of nobles who are not very old, but have already tasted the taste of power.
The second is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black formal dress, even the bow tie is neatly tied, and he has gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, as if he has just attended an important banquet.
However, he himself is not so attractive, his appearance is ordinary, he belongs to the type that will forget what he looks like when he turns his head when he first sees it, and the only thing that can make people remember is his nose, the curved hooked nose is very conspicuous, so that no matter what expression he makes, it will be a little more gloomy.
The third was an old man in his sixties and seventies, dressed in the most ordinary civilian clothes, smoking an old pipe, and the copper box containing the tobacco was casually set aside, the surface of which had been polished and shiny, and had obviously been used for many years. An old man dressed like this, he could see a few casually in the residential area, it was so ordinary that it was hard to imagine that he could sit with two other nobles.
But no one who has a little eyesight will really think that his clothes are ordinary. It is true that the style of the clothes is indeed casual clothes, but no one dares to really look at it as casual clothes when it is sewn with silk woven from less than ten kilograms of sea silk produced in the world every year. The old stone pipe is indeed inconspicuous, but a closer look at the texture of the stone will reveal that it is not a stone at all, but the legendary stone heart milk - a special plant wrapped in a rock, which is a special item formed after hundreds of thousands of years of petrification in the heart of the stone, which can be held in the mouth for a long time to strengthen the body and effectively prolong life.
Just by virtue of this pipe, you can be sure that his identity is anything but ordinary, not to mention that he still has ......
"Who do you want to deal with?" The arrogant young man couldn't bear the behavior of teaching his sister like no one next to Xiu'er, and took the lead in asking, "This is how you receive guests in the Dark Moon Temple?
"That's right, I just look down on you. Sneering and pursing his lips, Shul whispered to Lisa, "See, the other two people didn't speak, and even their expressions didn't change, it seems that this is to give the initiative to the opponent, but in fact, it is firmly in the most advantageous position, can advance or retreat, and can also make the opponent unable to figure out their hole cards, so, sometimes not talking is more deterrent than talking." ”
"But he can't do it, he can't do it, because he has no confidence in his heart, to put it simply, he is a little weak-hearted, so he has to take the initiative to accuse us, so as to cheer him up. ”
"Hey, Shure, don't go too far. The young man said very dissatisfied, "How can I say that I also said two words for you just now, and if you don't thank me, forget it, and you still ......."
"Thank you, hehe, I thank you. Shuer's face was gloomy, and he smashed his hammer in front of the young man, and said with a sneer, "Thank you for coming to my house to bully Lisa, right, Viscount Duran?"
The second son of the largest military family in the Duke of Rose, one of the eight deputy heads of the Knights of the Rose under the command of the Duke of Rose, and the dream lover of countless girls in the City of Roses, the heroic and fearless Viscount Max Duran, shrunk his neck in his eyes, and he didn't dare to look directly into Shuer's eyes.
"It seems that Viscount Duran's memory is not very good, so let me help you recall. A year ago, someone ran up to me crying (I didn't!), hugged my thighs and begged (I didn't either!), and finally I couldn't help it, and reluctantly gave him some advice. Then, I helped him increase his annual income by 800 gold coins every year, so that he could have enough money to study special fighting skills with those little sisters and little sisters, and most importantly, not to break his legs by his father. ”
The man was moved to tears (bah, bah, bah), and had to kneel on the ground to thank me (you are talking nonsense), and promised me that the debt of 7,000 gold coins could be repaid whenever he wanted, and he would never collect the debt again. ”
This time Max didn't refute, his eyes looked left and right, just didn't look at Shul and Lisa.
"I didn't take this seriously, I still paid a little every month as agreed, and the annual income of the eight hundred gold coins will be given to you for nothing. Max, as a friend, I've done enough for you. I wonder if he would be very proud of his son if I came to visit Count Durand now and told him all these things?"
"That, that, Shuer, don't be angry just yet. The arrogant Viscount Duran couldn't stand up, smiled wryly, and said embarrassedly, "Things are different from what you think, hahaha, you listen to me explain to you." ”
"Explain the hell, I know what's going on if you don't tell me. The rumors of the Divine Territory this time are definitely not from you, and you don't have the brains yet. But after hearing the rumors, you are tempted, and you want to join in the fun, take advantage of the opportunity of our Darkmoon Church being cornered by debts, and add another pressure, and finally make the rumors come true, forcing us to sell the divine territory to pay off the debt, so that you may have a chance to buy that land, right? ”
"Uh-huh. Max nodded vigorously, "Anyway, you haven't built a chapel on that piece of land for more than a hundred years, and it's useless to put it there, and it's going to cause a lot of trouble, so you might as well sell it to me, and the money from the sale will be enough to pay off your debts, and no one will bother you about it in the future." ”
"I'm not here today to ask for debt, but mainly because I have this idea, and I think it's good for everyone. We're friends after all, and I'll try to give you as much as I can. ”
"Okay, since you're so kind, why should I refuse. Xiuer said expressionlessly, "You don't have to forget it, the land is given to you, you bring my IOU, and our debts will be written off, and it will be better if the land is discounted by 7,000 gold coins." ”
"What?" said Viscount Duran, his eyes wide, in disbelief, "not kidding, did you really agree?
"yes, when did I break my promise. Shul said with a straight face, "If you don't worry, let's sign the contract now, and then you go back and get the IOU to exchange the contract." ”
Although Max's brain is not very useful, he finally realized that something is wrong, there will be no such good thing in the world, and the fairy tale of pie falling from the sky will not appear in the circle of nobles, and what falls from the sky can always be a trap.
Coupled with the other two people, they looked at themselves like they were looking at an idiot, which made him even more sure of his judgment, there must be something wrong in it.
"Don't you think everyone looks at you like an idiot?" Shul said with a sneer, "That's not your delusion, in the eyes of everyone here now, you are an idiot. ”
"Do you want to know what will happen when you do sign the contract? First of all, your father will praise you with satisfaction, saying that you have grown and learned to think. Then he will find a reason, such as giving favors, and he will come to the door in person tomorrow, and return the contract to me respectfully, and if nothing else, he will return it together, and there will be a large sum of money. ”
"It's strange, and then there's even more strange, you will find that from that time on, your father has been getting better and better with you, and he will tolerate you for any mistake you make, and you will find for the first time that he is so kind and kind. ”
"However, it won't be long, maybe a few months, and suddenly one day, he will hold you for your mistakes, hold you accountable for all your previous mistakes, punish you very severely, and may even expel you from the family and cut off the relationship. ”
"I'm afraid you'll not be able to figure out why you've ended up in this situation until you've been kicked out of your home. ”
"Well, Shuer, for the sake of our friendship, explain it to me. Max scratched his head and said distressedly, "Even if you want to trap me, you have to let me die." ”
"Explain? You idiot dares to ask me for an explanation. "With a mace, he stabbed the idiot viscount with the handle of the hammer, "How can such a shrewd man as your father, old Duran, give birth to a stupid son like you." ”
"I told you, do you really dare to ask for it, do you have a brain, do you have a brain, I'll knock it open here to see if it's okay, see if it's empty inside?"
"You dare to fight the idea of the Divine Territory, you idiot, have you ever seen the precedent of the Divine Territory being held in the hands of non-clergy? You don't use your brain to think about why? You idiot, the temple area is already full, other churches that want to enter the City of Roses to build a worship church, they can only buy land from the original church, that land is now staring at at least nine churches that want to enter the City of Roses, you dare to be involved, which church do you represent? Or do you have the support of the Temple of the Gods behind you?"
"The Duran family dares to hold that piece of land in their hands, and it won't take half a year, and your whole family will not end well from top to bottom. Even if you sell it to a certain church, do you think you'll get any good results? The other churches that you didn't buy, plus our Darkmoon Church and our friendly church, will all see your family as enemies, how long do you think your family will last?"
"Your father will kick you out of the house at that time, I guess he will even have the heart to screw your head off. ”
"Fool, get out of here now, and if I see you again in a month's time, I'll tell my father everything at once. Hurry up and get out of here, and go back and find a way to hide the news of today's visit, or don't blame me for not reminding you that your father will break your leg three times. ”
So, the troublesome man rolled one.
