"Icaru, Ikaru, I've already said it, you can just call me by my name, Lord Baron, Lord Baron, Lord Baron. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Li Xuan said with a pretended dissatisfaction.

Icaru was in a dilemma for a while, if he didn't do what the other party said, he might offend the very amiable baron, but if he did, and if the lord found out afterwards, then he didn't want to have a good life.

"Lord Baron, Lord Castle is in the courtyard, please come with me. The guard guarding the courtyard seemed to see Icaru's scruples, and stepped forward to relieve him.

"Lord Baron, I'll take my leave. Icaru said, and left the place as if he were on the run.

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at it, didn't he have a good chat on the way here just now, how did he become like this when he got here, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, since he came to this world, he really hasn't been able to talk to anyone as pleasantly as just now, so he cherishes it very much, and he plans to talk to him again after today's things are done.

Follow the guards to the courtyard, although the yard is not big, but it gives people a feeling that the sparrow is small and has all the organs, the pond, rockery, pavilion, flowers and trees and so on build a unique landscape, and the bamboo house in the depths of the yard is to add a lot of color to the whole yard.

"My lord, Baron Li Xuan has something to ask to see. The guard took Li Xuan to the bamboo house, stepped forward and gently clicked on the doorway.

"Oh, Baron Li Xuan is here?" came a slightly surprised but expected voice from inside the house, and then the door of the bamboo house was opened from the inside, and Mabel, dressed in black, walked out of it with a smile on his face.

After waving his hand to signal the guard to go down, he walked quickly to Li Xuan's side, but the smile on his face was retracted, and he said with a dissatisfied look: "Baron Li Xuan is really a rare guest, except for the time when he first came to my city lord's mansion, Baron Li Xuan has not been here once in the past month, do you think that my city lord's mansion is not as good as your unbuilt valley?"

"Lord City Lord said with a smile, how can my valley be compared to your City Lord's Mansion, even if I am allowed to develop for another hundred years, there is no comparison. It's just that when I first arrived in the territory, I had a lot of things to do, and I really couldn't get out of it, and secondly, I was embarrassed to bother you when you were busy with official business on weekdays, Lord of the City. Li Xuan bowed slightly.

"Haha, I didn't see it, I really didn't see it, Baron Li Xuan, your mouth is so able to speak, that busy Baron Li Xuan, I don't know what kind of wind blew you over today?" Mabel chuckled and teased while inviting Li Xuan to sit down in the gazebo on the side.

Although it was only the second time he and Mabel met, he did not pose as the lord of a city, but got along with him completely on an equal footing, which made Li Xuan have a good impression of him, although he knew that the other party was able to do this because of his other identity, but this did not affect his good impression of Mabel.

"Don't make fun of me, Lord Lord, what kind of busy person am I compared to Lord City Lord. Li Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but then said with a serious face: "Don't hide it from the city lord, I came here this time mainly because I want to ask your lord about something." ”

"Haha, don't be so serious, I know what you want to say, I thought you could endure it for a while, but I didn't expect you to be unbearable in less than a month. Mabel seemed to know what Li Xuan wanted to say, and chuckled and teased.

"City Lord, do you know what I came here today?" Li Xuan looked at Mabel with some surprise and asked, even he just learned about these things in the territory today, and the supply problem only came out today, even if the other party is the lord of a city and the intelligence network is very strong, it is impossible to know the situation encountered in his territory at the first time.

"Don't be so surprised, your territory was also my agreement to make Sdrak his personal domain, and I still know about the situation in the valley, you must be struggling with that vein now, right?" Mabel said with a look of what I knew.

Hearing Mabel say this, Li Xuan knew that the other party had misunderstood, but although he came mainly for development issues such as territorial procurement this time, he was also preparing to discuss the matter of the magic crystal ore vein with Mabel, although he was not short of money, but if he wanted to develop in the future, it would definitely not be possible to just eat the old capital, so he had to find another channel to make money, and the vein in the territory was undoubtedly a money-making weapon.

However, he didn't dare to send someone to mine rashly, after all, he was just a small baron who had just taken office, and he didn't have any armed forces at all, so he didn't have the strength to keep this vein at all, so he had to seek a collaborator, or someone who could shelter him, and in this Trines City, Mabel was undoubtedly a good candidate, after all, he was able to cooperate successfully with Sdrake before, so now he should also be able to cooperate successfully with him.

Now that the other party happened to mention it, he also followed the other party's interface and said: "This time I came to find the City Lord Demon Crystal Ore Vein is indeed one of the aspects, but in addition, the main reason is that the development of the territory has come to a standstill. ”

"The development of the territory has come to a standstill?" Mabel frowned slightly, "Baron Li Xuan, your territory has only been developed for less than a month, it stands to reason that a territory like yours that has initially developed can basically be completed as long as there is money, and generally will not encounter any major problems?"

"It can be said that it is a problem of money, or it can be said that it is not a problem of money, hey!" Li Xuan sighed with a little headache.

"Oh, Baron Li Xuan's words have confused me, how can you call it a problem of money and not a problem of money?" asked Mabel, a little confused.

"Today, the people in my territory went to buy materials for construction, and those merchants in the town of Sil either said that they were out of stock, or directly offered more than ten times the price, although I have a little money, but I can't let these people go to the dark like this. Li Xuan said with some anger.

"The merchants above Sill Town?" Mabel frowned and said: "Syr Town is the territory of Viscount Sdrak, I will find him as soon as possible to understand the situation, and strive to solve this problem as soon as possible, and let Baron Li Xuan and your men work harder during this time, and come to Trines City to procure." ”

"Lord Castle doesn't know that the merchants in Trines City are the same as those in Sil Town, either not selling them or increasing their prices by more than ten times. Li Xuan pretended to be helpless and said.

"Huh?" Mabel's face showed a hint of solemnity, it was understandable that the merchants in Sir Town did not provide goods to Li Xuan, after all, Li Xuan cut off Sdrak's financial route, and it was reasonable for Sdrak not to let the people in his town provide goods to Li Xuan, but how could his Trines City not provide goods to the other party, which made Mabel feel that things seemed not so simple," Baron Li Xuan, wait a minute, I asked someone to find Nikador, he has always been in charge of the economy in Trines City, and the merchants in this city have made such a move, I think he will definitely be aware of it. ”

Li Xuan nodded, indicating that there was no objection, Mabel ordered the guard at the door to let him go and find Nikador, but after more than twenty minutes, the guard returned to the courtyard alone, "My lord, according to the guard at the door, the housekeeper of Nikador went out in a hurry in the evening, it seems that there is something urgent, and he has not returned yet." ”

Mabel waved his hand to let the guards go down, and then looked at Li Xuan with a slight apology and said: "Nikador may just have something urgent to go out, and the supply problems of those merchants will be discussed when he comes back, and we can just talk about the matter of the magic crystal ore vein during this time, you also said it just now, on the one hand, this time is also because of this magic crystal ore vein, I don't know what you are mainly for?"

Li Xuan sorted out his thoughts and said: " That magic crystal ore vein is at least a large and medium-sized ore vein, although this kind of ore vein will not attract some top forces to make a big move, but it is enough to make many big forces covet, I am afraid that the leakage of the news has been blocking the valley now, but those villagers in the valley have begun to be dissatisfied, if they are not allowed out of the valley, they will definitely rebel after a while, and let them out of the valley, then the news that there is a magic crystal ore vein in the valley will definitely spread, and then my small valley will become the target of public criticism, and at that time, the situation is not something that I can control as a small baron。 ”

"I've heard a little bit about things in your territory, and Sdrak came to me last time, saying that as soon as you took office, you killed all the people he had originally arranged in the valley. Mabel stretched out his hand to stop Li Xuan, who wanted to explain something, and continued: "You don't have to explain, even if you don't kill, they will be killed by Sdrak when they go back, I just want to tell you that as a lord, sometimes you have to be ruthless, you have to make yourself indifferent, of course, appropriate kindness is still needed." ”

Li Xuan listened quietly and did not speak, he knew that Mabel must have something to tell him.

"The villagers you saved in the valley show the kindness in your heart, and the villagers you saved will also be grateful to you for this, but what I want to tell you is that people are easily ungrateful animals, and if you are good to them, they will slowly shrink him, and then gradually fade out of their memories, but if you treat them badly, they will magnify it infinitely, and keep holding grudges, this is human nature, I think you should have experienced this. ”

Looking at Li Xuan, who was silent, Mabel continued: "It's been more than two years since your valley was discovered to have a magic crystal ore vein, but no news has leaked in the past two years, and in less than a month since you took over this valley, you can't control it, do you really not understand the reason?"
