Peel finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if the prince continued to be strong, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the pressure. Fortunately, the prince is relieved of his www.biquge.info, then everything still has a chance, the earl's strength is there, and the negotiation should be so easy.

After the count knew that Leon did not have a title, his first thought was to send someone to occupy it directly, since it was his own territory, it could not be said that he was attacking the royal family, so the occupation operation could be justified.

After informing his staff, his idea was blocked by them.

The members of the staff were not only knowledgeable men, most of them were close relatives of the earl, and several of his younger brothers and uncles were among them. The interests of the entire family are tied to the name of the earl, so the earl needs to consult with his staff before carrying out various major operations.

After deliberation, the staff believed that Leon did not have a title now, but he was always the king's brother, and that Ravenwood was a domain that the king had given him personally, and that if he hastily occupied it, it would be against the king's will and might cause displeasure to the royal family.

So they decided to let Peel act as the intermediary, and he would do what he had to do, so as to avoid direct contact with Leon and wait until the results were available to discuss what to do next.

There was not much to negotiate in general.

The first is that the veins are owned by the Count, and the mining can be taken care of by Lyon, who can pay the salary. As for what to do with the ore, the count was responsible, and in the end three-tenths of the revenue from the ore sales was given to Lyon.

Second, the rest of the town's commercial income was divided in half with the earl, including timber, furs, etc.

Third, the town is still managed by Leon, but he has to pay taxes to White Mist City, which is equivalent to the town to which White Mist City belongs.

Peel was quick to get the talks out, and those points seemed good to him.

"Finished?" Leon listened for a moment, noticing that Peel had stopped.

"Yes, these are not bad, Prince Leon, you can seriously consider it. Peel said from the perspective of a businessman.

"Then what do you say is good?" Leon thought it was funny, and he blatantly came to rob it, and dared to say that it was good.

"Now that you don't have a title, the territory belongs to the earl, and you are equivalent to the consul of the town, but you can get a share of the benefits of the town's various trade activities, and such conditions are not enjoyed by the consul. Peel's explanation seemed plausible, and that the consuls would receive a share of the trade in addition to a salary, even the chancellor of the capital's treasury.

"It makes sense, but it's all based on my role as an archon, and if I were a consul, how would I be treated like this?

If Leon were an archon, what else could the Count do? He still had some scruples to do so. Since he did not have a knighthood and was not an archon, how did the count view Lyon's status, was he just a prince?

"Is this ......," Peel was asked, as if not in the middle of the post. Therefore, the count had only two choices, either to recognize Leon as a lord or to recognize Leon as an archon.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you can go back and ask. "Lyon had the upper hand, and the multiple-choice question he gave was not easy to do.

If he is admitted as a lord, the earl's negotiation is a joke, the lord to divide the interests of another lord, unless it is a subordinate, it is an encroachment, and the encroachment in the kingdom is a felony, and he as an earl would not dare to do such a thing.

If he was found to be an archon, the matter would have to be consulted by the king, and the count would not dare to act rashly without the king speaking.

Leon wanted the count to go to the royal capital, his title has not been sealed so far, it must be the king and the queen mother, as long as someone mentions it, then the king can only make a decision. He is a close relative of the royal family, and no matter how low the title is, he is also an earl, which is the rule of the royal family.

When Peel heard this, his otherwise happy mood turned bad. When he set out, he swore that he could complete the negotiations, but the present situation was completely different from what he had thought, and it might be worse, and not only the prince was not happy, but the count was also angry when he returned.

At this point, Peel decided to block it.

"Prince Leon, you haven't thought of the worst, the count's military strength is not a joke, if you refuse the count's request this time, he may directly send troops, not only to occupy the ore vein, but also to directly occupy the town, and then you will have nothing. "Peel mustered all his strength, wanting to attack Leon's confidence, in the face of the disparity in strength, no one could stop him, as long as the Count was willing, he could take the town in a moment.

"Mr. Peel, have you noticed, you are completely assuming, since there is a worst outcome, there is also a best side, why don't I look at the good side?" Leon will not be scared because of a few words, in the future, he will probably face pressure from the Queen Mother, and now he will fall, won't he let the royal capital fall asleep and wake up laughing.

"Are you so confident? Prince Leon, sometimes he knows that avoiding is a wise choice, but don't ruin himself by being obsessed with a moment. Seeing the prince's calm face, Peel felt even more distressed, and the psychological pressure on him had no effect at all.

This method has been used many times by Peel, and it has almost made it easy for him in the business field, and most of the people in his way have been pressed down. The rest that were not suppressed were also crushed by other means, but those methods were not suitable for the prince.

"Mr. Peel should think about how to reply to the Earl, I have nothing to say, just such a multiple-choice question, let him make a decision sooner rather than let me worry about it all day. Leon didn't want to say anything more, and it was some nonsense to continue, so it was better to send him away.

"In that case, I hope you will still be so confident when we meet next time. "Peel couldn't get a better result and had to leave the place first. He suffered such a big defeat today, he will definitely not give up, even if the Count does not act, he will secretly attack, not only to deal with Silas, but Leon Burton is also one of his opponents.

Seeing Peel leave, Leon relaxed.

As Peel said, the worst outcome is nothing, but until that day comes, there must be no countermeasures.

Seeing the letter sent by Silas on the table, Leon guessed what it would be, and when he opened it and read it, he found that it was indeed the case. It's just that I didn't expect that the person who started this matter was actually Peel.

"Mr. Peel, I hope you'll be so well the next time we meet. Leon replied slowly, imitating what Peel had said before leaving.
