The village is actually not far from the city of Leme, even if you walk, it can be reached in about an hour. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Count Leme did not receive Casio and them at the town hall, but asked the cavalry captain to take Casio and his party to their estate.

Walking through the manor, Casio's eyes began to wander again.

I saw that the Count of Lyme's manor was heavily guarded and the atmosphere was tense, as if it was guarding against some possible change.

This scene made Casio aware in his heart, knowing that the news he had deliberately spread through the mouths of those villagers had indeed played a certain role.

Now the situation in Lyme City, after the fermentation of the past few days, has become extremely unstable!

Soon, Casio and the others were led into the manor hall by the cavalry captain.

In front of the blazing fireplace, a man in his fifties with gray temples was sitting on a fur chair in front of the fireplace, holding a roll of parchment in his hand, carefully examining it.

Casio knew that this man should be Count Lem.

Don't look at Count Lyme as if he was in his early fifties, but in fact, he was in his seventies.

Although there is no setting in the Gurea world that the higher the strength, you can get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death, there is no doubt that if the strength reaches the second level, it can also significantly delay aging and live longer than ordinary people.

Under the gods, all mortals die!

After Casio and the others came in, Count Lyme did not continue to look at the parchment roll in his hand as if he didn't see it, but looked up at Casio and them, revealing an easy-going face.

Without saying a word, Count Lyme waved his hand, and the captain of the cavalry withdrew on his own, and waited outside the door.

"It is an honor to meet you, Count Lime. I am an emissary sent by His Royal Highness the Prince Casio, you can call me Brown. Casio bowed to Count Leme and used a pseudonym, apparently preparing to start fooling Dafa again.

Count Lyme stared at Casio for a long time before he spoke: "I am amazed by your courage, but I don't know when you changed your name, Your Royal Highness Prince Casio. ”

Count Leme revealed Casio's identity with a word, which made Casio's eyes narrow slightly, and Agaret and the others pressed their hands on the weapon one after another, looking at Count Lime and the surroundings with a wary face.

Casio straightened up and smiled at Agaret and the others, "Don't be nervous, if Lord Earl has malicious intentions towards us, he won't allow us to come in with weapons." ”

With that, Casio didn't wait for Count Leme's invitation, and went directly to him and sat down in a soft, comfortable fur chair.

Looking at Casio, who was as casual as if he was in his own home, sunk in a fur chair with an expression of enjoyment, Count Leme smiled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and he was cold.

"His Royal Highness the Prince came to me without prior notice, so that I could entertain you. ”

"Entertain a fart, you haven't even given me a glass of water until now. ”

Casio complained silently in his heart, and shook his hand with the same smile: "Lord Earl is polite, if you hadn't promised Sisko and them, if you came here to report the safety of their family first, I would have notified you in advance." ”

Count Lem smiled very understandingly, and did not delve into the matter of Casio spreading news in the past few days to make him fall into passivity.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has come from afar, and I think there must be something important to discuss with me. ”

Casio nodded: "It's true, it's about Sisko and them." ”

Count Leme did not speak, but waited for Casio's following.

"Sisko, they're not mine, after all, so they're going to go back to you, Lord Earl. ”

Count Lyme groaned slightly, and then asked, "How much?"

The ransom of prisoners of war, which was already a standard way for Gherea, was that Count Lyme did not pursue this matter much at all, asking whose question it was.

He only knows that now he is in the hands of Casio, and he can't afford to lose these people, so he can only admit it!

Who thought Casio shook his head: "It's a lot of hurtful feelings, the main purpose of my visit this time is not to discuss with you, Lord Earl, the matter of redeeming Sisko and them with money." ”

Count Lem looked at Casio with a puzzled look.

"That's right, I'm sure you must know that my lordship knows that I'm strained with the City of Otes right now. At this point, Casio looked at Count Leme and waited until the other man nodded before he continued.

"Actually, not only will I give Sisko and them back to you in good condition, without any return, but I am also willing to share with you the profits of the mines. ”

Casio's words greatly surprised Count Lyme, but Count Lyme didn't come out on the first day, and immediately asked bluntly, "What do you want?"

Casio smiled embarrassedly, as if he knew that his next words were a little difficult to say, "It's very simple, I need your support from Lord Earl to help me get through this hurdle." ”

Count Lyme neither agreed, nor did he refuse immediately, but pondered.

Casio didn't rush either, and waited quietly.

"As far as I know, Sisko and they have already helped your Royal Highness in the last battle, isn't that enough?"

Faced with Count Lyme's sudden words, Casio's heart was slightly cold, and he understood that Count Lime's eyeliner was wider than he expected.

Originally, he thought that it was reasonable for Count Lyme to know about the battle between him and Vincent in the past few days, but he didn't expect that in the past few days, the other party would even find out some details of the battle.

Casio remained silent and smiled slightly: "What I need is a long-term cooperation." ”

After a slight hesitation, Count Lyme continued: "Your Royal Highness, there are some fluctuations in your Duchy of Dolan now. If I intervene at this time, it is very likely that the two countries will become hostile. I'm afraid I can't afford this responsibility!"

Although Count Lem's words seemed to be refusing, Casio tasted the deep meaning of these words from Count Lem's playful eyes, and couldn't help but curse "old fox" in his heart!

Count Lem, however, was an old man, and with a few words, he tilted the situation that was not good for him to his side according to Casio's request.

Count Lyme is definitely not worried about the so-called hostility between the two countries, but he says this because he wants to get more benefits from Casio.

But Casio couldn't let him go, lest he be too submissive and reveal his true purpose.

Therefore, Casio stood up directly and shrugged his shoulders: "It seems that you still need to think about it for a while, Lord Earl. Why don't I find a place to live first, and we'll talk about it when you're ready. ”

Count Leme raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect Casio's attitude to be so firm, and he didn't give the two sides room for bargaining at all.

But on second thought, if he couldn't get Sisko and them now, he would be in a difficult situation, and if he wanted to get out of this predicament, he would need to agree to Casio's conditions.

There is indeed a delicate balance between the two.

And this is also the reason why Casio directly refused to have an in-depth discussion with Count Lyme!

Now the two sides can be said to be standing at both ends of the scale, and neither wants to get half of the benefits from the other side!

Seeing that Casio was about to leave, Count Lyme did not show eagerness, but said, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince has come to my residence, how can he not prepare a room for you." ”

As Count Lem's voice fell, the door was pushed open, and a line of guards appeared in the corners of the hall.

Looking at this battle, Casio stopped, turned his head to look at Count Leme, and his expression remained unchanged at all: "Lord Count is so considerate, then I can't shirk it!"
