Haag was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glared at Ivo next to him, which meant, 'Didn't you say it would be a while before the boss came?'

The wood elves spread their hands out, and they had an expression of 'how do I know I'm helpless too'.

"Hey, hey... It's a misunderstanding, I'm here to welcome the guests on behalf of the chief," Haq stood straight on the side of the road with his axe in hand, like a valiant guard greeting the king.

"Oh, do I want to thank you, then?" Lear stopped as he passed Haag and glanced at him obliquely, and Haag immediately crouched down so that Lear could look down on him.

"Haha... This one... No need, you're so busy, boss, this is what I should do. "The barbarians continue to fight haha.

"Go to the mines and cut down trees, you won't have a thousand before sunset, and you'll sleep in the stables tonight. Lear said angrily, but he didn't expect Hag to jump up happily and pull Ivo away when he heard this, despite the fact that the latter was still shouting that he was on duty today.

"The discipline is not strict, which makes you laugh. It wasn't until Haag's figure completely disappeared that Lear turned his head and said this to Rod, but from his tone, the apology was very limited.

At this time, where is Rhodes still half a point of the marquis's eldest son's arrogance, if it wasn't for Guina blocking him just now, he would have been split in half by now, and the people who came out of this city were fiercer than the other, and as the boss of everyone, Lear's image in his heart now was no different from that of the devil.

"Misunderstanding... Misunderstanding, the way the warriors of your city greet guests is a little special, I just didn't get used to it for a while, and it will be fine in the future. Rod waved his hand again and again, pale.

Although he thinks very highly of himself, he is not stupid at all, the hostility of these people is so obvious, if he still wants to show the style of that aristocratic boss, it is simply a long life.

"So, what will the Marquis bring to me?" was satisfied with Rode's acquaintance, Lear, so he no longer bothered about Haag's affairs.

"Uh... Is it right here?"

After Haag's fuss just now, Rhodes and dozens of people hadn't even entered the door of the guest house, so when Lear asked him about his intentions on the busy street, he was stunned for a moment.

What are you kidding, asking your father on the street, do you want the other party to send his head back as a gift?

"Well, my lord, would it be better for us to find a conference room? After all, this involves a diplomatic aspect, and some things are really inconvenient and too public. ”

It can be said that the envoy asked for the meeting room to be arranged, which can be said to be the extreme rudeness of the master and the great shame of the envoy, but Rhodes could not control so much now, and after seeing the temper of these fierce men of Spartacus, he already knew that his father's idea would never come true.

Not only is it impossible, but it's better not to mention it again, otherwise you really risk being chopped into a ball of meat sauce on this street.

"Then go inside, there's one in the guest house. ”

With that, Lear stepped into the courtyard first, and Guina followed silently with her sword in hand, and it was not until Landrig whispered a reminder that Rod quickly flipped off his horse and followed, followed by two or three followers.

"Tell me, what does the Marquis want to do?" Lear said lukewarmly in the small conference room, clasping his hands in front of his chin and saying lukewarmly, finally Landrig hadn't forgotten to prepare a few chairs for Rhodes to save them from the embarrassment of standing all the time.

"That's, that's right. Rod carefully picked his words. "My father has heard from the maritime merchants that a powerful Terran force has risen on the sea, so he has sent me to visit you to pay your sincere respects by the way. ”

"Is that all? How did I hear that the Marquis had a will to convey to me?" said Lear sneering coldly.

"No, no, absolutely nothing, this is all the people are spreading falsehoods, I will tear their mouths when I go back, my father and I are full of admiration for you, how can there be such rude thoughts. ”

When Rod heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly defended himself loudly, with a sincere attitude and sincere eyes, but he didn't swear in the name of the gods.

"Oh, are you sure, if the Marquis does have a will and you forget to convey it, I can give you another chance. Lear took a sip from the glass of water in front of him.

"No! we're here to show our respect for you!" said Rod, who even stood up to show his sincerity.

"Well, I've received your kindness, Landrig, send-off. ”

To Rod's surprise, Lear didn't mean to talk nonsense to him at all, and when he categorically stated his intention, the other party actually sent the guest away.

"Huh... That one... Your Excellency, please wait..."

There is no way, I can only bite the bullet and reveal what my father explained, everyone is a smart person, if you stop at the point, you shouldn't be cut down, Rod kept comforting himself like this in his heart.

"Oh?" Lear, who had already gotten up to leave, sat down again, and waited for Rod to do the next thing.

"Yes, my father was deeply saddened to hear that you had sought a fiefdom under the Earl of Grote before you went to sea, but had been unjustly cold, and sent him to the Earldom to rebuke Grote, which is the most serious blasphemy against talent, and is inexcusable. ”

Rod said righteously, as if the person who had been given the cold shoulder was himself.

"Oh?" Lear was noncommittal, just quietly waiting for Rod's next words.

However, from his eyes flashing with a cold smile, Rod could also see that the other party did not believe half a word of what he said.

Not to mention that the three human territories of Erry are all independent forces inherited from ancient times, does Marquis Skelly have the qualifications to reprimand Grote and will the latter buy it, and even if there is, why would Skelly do it for him?

Don't forget, before this meeting, he and Skelly didn't have any contact at all.

"Father feels that it is a great loss for the Eli people to let such a talented person as you go overseas, so if you wish, my father intends to canonize you with the title of Count of Glory, and of course if you claim territory, Father is more than willing to replace it for you. ”

Rhodes is talking nonsense, Skaily's original intention was just to give Lear a viscount, so that he could pocket this sea power without spending a single soldier, as for the replacement territory, there are more saline-alkali tidal flats in the marquis' territory.

But Rhodes thought about it, and if he said this, his life might be in jeopardy, so he took it upon himself to upgrade the first-level title, and as for how to explain it after he went back, he had to wait until he returned.

"If I'm not mistaken, your father seems to be only a marquis, does he have the right to be crowned Earl of Glory? And do you know how many islands in this sea fly the dragon flag?

Lear smiled coldly, this Marquis Skelly is afraid that his brain is not normal, so he will be so whimsical.

Rod was shocked when he heard this, and he forgot about it.

Divide the Count of Glory, that is the right of the royal family and a few powerful dukes, although Skelly is no different from the Earth Emperor in Eli, but as long as he does not become a king for a day, then he really does not have this qualification.

But the second half of Lear's sentence still made Rhodes feel very unconvinced, you must know that the Marquis of Skelly is the largest territory of the Eli people, even if the other two counties combined, they may not be as large as the actual territory controlled by the marquisate, what is the difficulty of replacing a few islands?

"I have brought a map of the marquisate, your Excellency, you can identify the territory you want to replace at will, except for my father's White Rock City, including my personal viscounty, you can choose, you know, my territory covers more than 500 square kilometers of rich plains. ”

Rhodes was purely angry, not to mention other territories, even if his own viscounty could not make any changes without Skelly's permission, but Lear's contemptuous attitude deeply stimulated his self-esteem, and he couldn't control it so much for a while.

According to his observation when he came, this island is only more than 100 square kilometers, and it is a big deal to replace it with his own territory, and in exchange for his five or six islands, it will also frustrate Lear's spirit.

"Landrig, show the gentleman the map. Lear didn't talk nonsense, and Landrig walked behind the huge curtain wall of the conference room and pulled the curtain open that covered it.

"This!" Rod just glanced at it, but couldn't help but exclaim.

There are more than 200 islands of all sizes, all marked with the same dragon banner as Spartacus, not to mention his viscount, which is more than twice as much as the entire marquis of Skelly.

"Go back and tell your father that if he wants to be friends with me, put away those unrealistic ideas, and if he wants to be my enemy, I'll be back soon. ”

With that, Lear left the conference room, leaving Rhodes alone in front of the huge chart.
