And if it is for the sake of real interests, it is actually no problem to give up some false fame a little, and lose a share in a distant foreign country, anyway, it is difficult for this notoriety to spread across borders immediately.

Even if Luo Ming uses his brains a little bit in publicity, it can make people think that he has accomplished a great feat this time, which in turn turns notoriety into prestige.

Just like there is a passage in the ancient Greek mythology of the earth, when the great hero Hercules was still a human, he completed a mission for the king of Troy, and the king promised to give him the best horse afterwards, but later did not pay him as promised.

The great hero was immediately angry, and instead of settling accounts with the king alone, he went to call for friends, many of his companions were noble princes, and he quickly gathered an army.

With this army, he directly attacked the city of Troy, and then plundered, killing almost all the king's men as revenge, and then captured the princess and princess to enjoy or sold them as slaves, completing a great revenge that was repaid a thousand times.

Decades later, the Trojans kidnapped the Greek beauty Helen in retaliation, triggering a protracted war.

The raid itself was actually regarded as one of Hercules' great achievements, after all, something like teaching a noble man who didn't pay his wages would sound enjoyable to most people, and it was similar to pretending to be an X slap in the face......

And in this world, it's actually pretty much the same.

The aristocracy could bully the commoners, but it was generally in remote areas, or within the limits of the law—the laws of this era were not fair enough.

On the other hand, if there is any article in the law that protects the interests of civilians in the slightest, civilians will not hesitate to raise the banner to resist.

If the lawsuit goes all the way to the king's court, it will not change the essence of the fact that it is indeed a loss.

The honorarium of civilian mercenaries cannot be easily delinquent, let alone the Lord Luo Ming, the earl?

This can be described as a naked provocation and a slap in the face, and it is completely reasonable for an earl to burn the city and destroy the state in a fit of rage, and when the time comes, people will laugh at Prince Oldman for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, being stingy and greedy, and ending up being a big loss

If you think about it this way, the overall risk is very small.

As long as the prince fulfills his verbal promise, and Luo Ming's own investigation does not find anything suspicious, then the deal is considered established.

At this time, Luo Ming also arrived at his destination, he temporarily sealed these thoughts and stepped out of the car.

Although it was dark, there were still many lights in the courtyard, and the big mansion in front of it was brightly lit, just to welcome Luo Ming's return.

Led by Granty, the entire Guard is here to greet you.

The mansion was not rented by Lockin at his expense, but a property in the name of Prince Oldman, which was now lent to him free of charge as a place to stay.

Such a large property, with a well-kept garden, if it is not lent to Luo Ming for free, but rented, maybe you can collect a few gold coins a day.

There are tall walls around, and even some basic magic protection, as well as stables and ample rooms for guards and servants to live in, and to be honest, although it is within the imperial capital, every inch of land is expensive, and the area is not huge, but just looking at the beauty and comfort, it seems to be better than Luo Ming's mansion in Van Shee County, and is fully worthy of the dignity of a real earl.
