Chapter 646: Signing the Contract
Landry was in a good mood, it was already very rare for such a good potion to have this Cheng Dan rate in his opinion, he laughed and said: "Master Liya, you're welcome, it's also my honor to know you, with all due respect, even under the command of Count Lankao, there don't seem to be a few alchemy masters who can compare with you, I'm a little jealous of Lord Xiao Di now, hehehe." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xiao Di smiled and said: "How about it, Lord Baron, you should understand our sincerity now, right? To be honest, if we hadn't lived in seclusion in the mountains for too long and had no connections, we wouldn't be willing to cooperate with others at all, now we can talk about the specific conditions of cooperation, right? I believe this will be of great benefit to both of us." ”
Baron Landry saw that Xiao Di was still so favorable under such favorable conditions, so he simply didn't play those false tricks anymore, and directly told Xiao Di the bottom line that Count Lankao explained to him.
Count Lankao claims that he can help Xiao Di, but unless Xiao Di is willing to swear to be his subordinate, the two parties can only sign a loose contract of cooperation and cooperate to a limited extent.
Xiao Di understands that if he accepts the former, then all the problems he is worried about will no longer be a problem, equipment, materials, money, Count Lankao can provide him, and even provide him with a large piece of territory, and there is no need to worry about the grievances between him and Viscount Cott, and their safety factor in this world will be greatly increased, because whoever wants to touch them must get the consent of Count Lankao.
As long as this path is chosen, Xiao Di can even see that the road back to the Azeroth continent will be bright, and they can stay up for a while without any danger, slowly accumulate enough money and things to go back to explore the world and accumulate energy for the magic map, as long as Liya can continue to provide Alchemy Elixir to Count Lankao.
But this choice is destined to be a short-term choice, once he agrees to Count Lankao to be his subordinate, in principle, he must disclose all secrets to the other party, otherwise he will inevitably be discovered by the other party after a long time, and it will be even more troublesome at that time, as the younger brother of the Grand Duke of Garton, one of the three top forces here, Count Lankao has enough strength to deal with them, unless Xiao Di and they leave this time and never plan to come back.
But this was completely different from Xiao Di's plan, he didn't come here with all the trouble to come here just to go back after a round of experience, he wanted to get enough resources here to make his way into the world on the Azeroth continent, so he immediately gave up this option.
Although the latter is not so safe in the short term, it has greater freedom and authority, as long as both parties have completed their respective obligations in accordance with the contract, the Earl of Lankao does not have the right to interfere too much with his actions, as for what will happen to the relationship between the two parties after Xiao Di has enough strength in the future, then it will be said at that time.
Xiao Di is not a person who loves to kill, and there are many ways to conquer this place, and it is not necessary to kill all the creatures here, so in the future, as long as the Earl of Lankao and them are enough to cooperate, Xiao Di does not mind letting them have a place in their future plans.
But the premise is, of course, that Xiao Di can really live to that day.
Seeing that Xiao Di chose the latter, Baron Landry couldn't help but sigh secretly, when the Earl of Lankao and him were teaching in person, he said that with Xiao Di's skills and style, this is definitely a guy with brains and ambitions, and he is definitely unwilling to live under the people for a long time, at that time, Baron Landry didn't believe it, but he didn't expect to be expected by the Earl of Lankao.
It's just that at that time, Landry felt that the boss thought too much and valued Xiao Di too much, but a fledgling little guy, where is it worth paying so much attention to him? But now his mind has changed, and this young man's own strength is unfathomable - until now Landry has not seen what Xiao Di's specific attributes are, I am afraid that he is still above himself.
And he also has several equally powerful subordinates, especially the female alchemist is even more talented, so this Xiao Di will not be a thing in the pool in the future, if such a character can establish a good relationship in advance, it will definitely be of great help to him in the future, it seems that Lord Lankao has a longer view.
After persuading Xiao Di a few more words, he found that Xiao Di was unwilling to accept the former, so Baron Landry had no choice but to give up, and then reached the following cooperation agreement with Xiao Di:
First, Count Lankao's side provided Xiao Di with materials according to the list of materials given by Xiao Di, and then every two materials needed to take back a lion king's power potion, and no less than three bottles could be supplied per month.
Second, Count Lankao can provide Xiao Di with weapons, armor, war horses and other war resources at the price in the market, and he can also buy all the 'stolen goods' in Xiao Di's hands at seventy percent of the price on the market, and then contact Baron Landry directly. You must know that this price is already very fair, much more favorable than Xiao Di's black market in Black Wind Ridge, and more importantly, it can be supplied in large quantities, of course, Count Lankao naturally can't suffer, just make a little less.
Third, if Xiao Di encounters any danger, although Count Lankao cannot directly send troops to help, but his territory will always be open for Xiao Di, as long as Xiao Di escapes back here, it will be much safer, unless the person he offends is too powerful, and even Count Lankao does not pay attention to it - not to mention such a person, Xiao Di will never be so stupid as to offend, let's just say that if Xiao Di offends such a person, it will be useless to run to the ends of the earth.
Of course, the rights and obligations are always mutual, as the second party, Xiao Di also does not have to accept the direct orders of the Earl of Lankao, any request that he feels dangerous has the right to refuse, and if Xiao Di and they have to help in the war, the Count of Lankao must provide all the logistics and sufficient compensation.
As for the other details, there are a lot of other details, the nobles attach great importance to all kinds of covenants, and they have spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to study, and a mature system has long been formed over the years, and all rights and obligations have been clearly identified by the relevant documents.
After negotiating the general direction of the agreement, Xiao Di humbly asked Baron Landry about their future development direction, Baron Landry's vanity was greatly satisfied, touched his beard and smiled: "This problem Lord Lankao and I have already considered for you, since your current identity is only a wandering mercenary, it is inconvenient to directly intervene in Lord Lankao's conquest, it is better to go to a neutral area to slowly hone it first."
There are two ownerless places within five hundred miles of us, one is the Black Wind Ridge that you have been to before, it is in the south of our territory, it is a buffer zone between us and Earl James, and the other is the Asshara Plateau to the west of us, where the terrain is dangerous, and there are many natives and criminals, but they are still honest, but they only toss in it and never dare to come out to harass us, so Lord Lankao will not pay attention to them for the time being.
Our suggestion is that you can develop in these two places for a period of time, if the development is good enough and there is enough power, Lord Lankao can recommend to the above to obtain an official title, if it doesn't go well, you can apply to us for assistance at that time, and we Lord Lankao will definitely not sit idly by. ”
Although Baron Landry said politely, Xiao Di understood that once he applied to Count Lankao for direct military assistance, it meant that he had to agree to become the other party's subordinate.
Count Lankao's arrangement is not only a help, but also a test, if they can show that Xiao Di is very strong in potential and strength, they can continue to maintain an alliance, but if they touch a nail, they will naturally honestly join him, this arrangement can not be described as a good calculation, but Xiao Di also likes it, what he needs most now is time.
After Henry spent another day finalizing all the details with Baron Landry, Xiao Di happily signed the name of 'Xiao Di Mephisto' on this contract, and Baron Landry also signed it on behalf of Count Lankao, as a nobleman, the importance of credibility is even more than life, so once this contract is signed, unless one party dies or both parties agree to revoke it, it will take effect permanently, and the person who defaults will be abandoned by the mainstream society forever, which is basically equivalent to having no chance to enter the aristocratic class.
This agreement made both parties more satisfied, and after the signing was completed, Xiao Di said goodbye to Baron Landry, before that, he had replaced most of the colored crystals in his hand with things that directly increased their combat power, including but not limited to Jinte and their mounts, enough supplies for their entire team for a month, Xiao Di and some of the five of them some loose armor weapons, Liya's alchemy materials, and so on.
Now that the adventure is about to begin, money or something is the least important, after the replacement, Xiao Di's team finally began to take shape, and all of them became cavalry, so that the action was much faster, and many of Xiao Di's tactical ideas could also be realized.
Xiao Di led people back to Black Wind Ridge again, this time the target was naturally the red-shirt bandits, before he was in a hurry to meet with Baron Landry, Xiao Di didn't bother to pay attention to them, now that the contract has been signed, and the future development direction has been determined, it is time to settle the account with them.
After returning to the Black Wind Ridge, Xiao Di led the people straight to a grocery store with a billboard painted with a pipe and a black mask, which, according to Ginter, was actually an office of the Thieves' Association, where you could spend money to consult all kinds of information, sell stolen goods and even buy murder, and almost everything that was unseemly could be done here.
Xiao Di asked Henry to take Margo's shooters to find a place to eat outside, and he slowly walked into the grocery store with Ginter and Nadal, only to see that there were already many people talking about business inside, their voices were very low, obviously not wanting others to hear, and some even wore masks.
