O'Faril didn't appear next to the two, and she didn't need to appear, although she was in completely human form at the moment, but she was still a spirit after all, so it wasn't very difficult for her to communicate with her heart, in fact, long before the arrival of the viscount, Julien had already arranged a proper place for O'Fariel so that she could "listen" The conversation between the two, and the timely provision of his own opinions to Yulian, although this kind of psychic communication has a distance problem, but it is better to conceal it, and ordinary people can't detect it. This can also be regarded as a relatively acceptable way for Ofariel, who does not want to appear in front of other nobles.

Although Yulian and O'Faryl knew very well that the Bird family had absolutely bad intentions for sending someone this time, O'Faryl still didn't expect that the other party would make such a barbaric request.

Although Viscount Bird's attitude is polite, and his demeanor is also very calm, quite a common style, it seems that it has nothing to do with the so-called barbarism. But nobles are nobles after all, and their barbarism is naturally not like ordinary people, so they rolled up their sleeves and stood forward, "You little rabbit, uncle, I will order you how to ......... today." The interaction between the nobles is a kind of hypocritical interaction, although both sides are smiling on the surface, but they can only do it in private, once these things are put on the table, then for the nobles, this direct, undisguised act is enough to compare with the barbarism and rudeness of the mountain people.

And what Viscount Bird made was a request that O'Faryl considered "barbaric". Indeed, the Twilight Forest was a barren place, and a noble fief, and even had no official title of its own. But, after all, he was a lord and held a land, no matter how desolate and inconspicuous it was, it was much better than the nominee nobles who did not have their own territory. And this Viscount Juventus Bird has been aggressive since he arrived, and since he used "Mr. Felix" to refer to Julien, he has been consciously or unconsciously belittling the status of this lord, and now, he has put forward a condition that almost all lords cannot accept.

Even if the security situation in the Twilight Forest becomes a problem again, it is Youlian's own business, and there is no need for other nobles to intervene, the lord's most important power over his territory is to collect taxes and manage, and security is the only means to reflect the lord's authority. Only by making your people realize that you are in control of this place will you create prestige in their hearts. And now, if other nobles send private soldiers over, even if they help, it will only invisibly weaken the authority of the lord. How could it be possible for those people to have confidence that even the people who kept them safe were not under their lord's hands?

It's like a king running to another country and telling him that your army is not good, that it is too weak, so it is better to use our you see how it is......... There is no point at all except to provoke a war.

And now, O'Faryl also thinks so, the other party can go straight to the center in three sentences and put forward such a barbaric and unacceptable condition, either he really treats Yulian as an idiot who doesn't know how to think about judging issues, or he directly oppresses people with his identity and forces the other party to agree to his own conditions, and he doesn't care that he will tear his face with himself!

Although this does seem barbaric, Ofaril also knows very well that the current Yulian really doesn't have the strength to tear his face with the other party, but even so, she still can't remind Yulian, after all, this is her duty.

"It doesn't seem like a good thing. ”

You Lian's face changed slightly, he looked at the other party with some dissatisfaction, and there was a trace of hesitation and uneasiness in his tone.

"After all, the Twilight Forest is now managed by me, and while I admit that the problems you mentioned are very likely to happen, I think it's something I need to deal with. ”

"That's not the case, Mr. Felix. ”

In the face of Yulian's refusal, Viscount Bird smiled and continued to speak.

"Indeed, your words are not wrong, this is your territory, and it should be your responsibility. However, I hope you will understand one thing, the golden trade route on the outskirts of the Twilight Forest............" Viscount Bird paused deliberately before continuing. "But we are in charge of the Bird family, and from our standpoint, we don't want some uncontrolled problems in our territory. We're just telling you the truth that if anything happens to the Twilight Forest, then there is no doubt that our golden trade routes will be involved, which is the last thing we want to see. ”

Reasonable, Viscount Bird's speech this time completely clarified his family's position, indeed, if Yulian can manage the twilight forest, what if he can't? In the past, this was a place where birds didn't, and the environment was too bad, so it didn't matter if no one came. But now, Yulian is building a lot of construction here, repairing roads and infrastructure, but it is no longer as troublesome as before. If some tricky guy comes here and uses the twilight forest as a cover to attack the gold trade route, then it will definitely be a big threat to the Bird family.

"I think you know what I mean, Mr. Felix, we want to protect our own investments. If something really happens in the Twilight Forest, then we can only solve it by means that you and I don't want to see. ”

Naked threats.

Offariel gritted her teeth, and though she admitted that there was nothing wrong with the Viscount's words, she made it clear that she did not have the Twilight Forest in her eyes, though she also understood that there was nothing in the Twilight Forest that needed to be taken seriously.

“...........................”

And this time, Yulian didn't answer immediately, he didn't get O'Fariel's advice, but with one guess, he could imagine that this princess would probably be mad, but now, he has already made a decision.

“......... I can't grant your request, the Twilight Forest is my territory. ”

Yu Lian put down the teacup, and his face became much more gloomy.

"I'm confident that I'm going to develop it, and I don't think that's going to happen. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Viscount Bird stared at each other tightly, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, revealing a vague smile.

"I suppose Mr. Felix should remember our Byrd family, you should have some idea of our family's strength, and although I admit that this proposal is indeed presumptuous, it is good for both of us, isn't it? if things do get to the point where we don't want to see them......... Mr. Felix, I can tell you unequivocally that we just don't want to see it, not that we can't accept it. ”

“............ I need to think about it. ”

Julien was silent for a moment, and at last, he stood up and stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture to the viscount.

"I admit that Mr. Viscount has a point, but I hope you will understand that this is a matter for me to decide. ”

"Of course I do. ”

Viscount Bird nodded, then stood up, he thought he had done his best, and then it was up to him to see how the other person reacted.

"The two have come from afar, and I, as the master, cannot say nothing, so I will send someone to prepare a room for the two of them now, and as for the rest......... It's not too late for us to talk after dinner. ”

Hearing this, Viscount Bird didn't say anything more, he smiled at Yulian, and then left the hall with the maid standing next to him, and went to the guest room on the second floor, while Yuren looked at his back with a relaxed smile on his face.

"These guys are too much!

Offariel appeared at Yuren's side at the right time, looking disapprovingly in the direction in which Viscount Bird had disappeared.

"You are also a nobleman, and they dare to be so provocative......... Aren't you afraid of making some trouble?"

"They won't be afraid. ”

At this moment, Yulian no longer had the gloomy expression he had when he chatted with Viscount Bird, he patted his cheek, and then sat back down on the sofa.

"They deliberately wanted to see my reaction, so I reacted to show them, after all, people came from afar......... If you don't cooperate, some people will be disappointed. ”

At this, Yuren paused for a moment, then looked at Ofaryl.

"So, Miss O'Faryl, how are you preparing?"

"Everything went well, my lord. ”

Offariel took a deep breath and regained her composure, and she could see that Yulian didn't care about it at all, and it was clear that he had his own ideas. However, as his adjutant, she didn't want to ask anything more, so she frowned slightly.

"In fact, if they have the right conditions, I can still consider looking at them. ”

Feeling Ofariel's puzzled gaze, Yulian was not nervous at all, and said with a relaxed smile.

"Right?"

"Of course, you see, you must admit that I do lack enough manpower to keep the town safe, and while Judy and the girls are a good choice, how do you think those peasants would react to watching a bunch of tall black armor walk around in front of them all day? After all, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and when it comes to a critical moment, we still have to rely on our neighbors to help, right?"

"Is this what you really think?

"At least not fake. ”

In the face of Offariel's unpleasant sarcasm, Yuren shrugged his shoulders, and then, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Don't you think it's time for Judy to change their tastes and eat some home-cooked food?"

Then, Julien looked at Ofaril earnestly, and asked in his usual sincere, gentle tone.

ps: Although I went to Sanjiang, I didn't update much during my illness, and I was really excited that there were so many collections......... There is nothing to repay, only ............ When I got better, I got better.
