Chapter 29 Countermeasures
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
It was with these words that Yuren had moved Ofariel in the hope that he would bring wealth from outside after the road was repaired - but as it stands, wealth had not yet been seen, and trouble was coming quickly.
Of course, Yuren and O'Fariel will not believe each other's excuses, you must know that this Bird family is the same culprit who used intrigue to deceive and seize the Felix family's land and exile him here. From a standpoint, it is normal if the other party sends someone to see if this little unlucky worm is dead, but it is not so normal to visit or something in person, and even if there is any document handover, as long as a representative is sent to deal with it, there is no need to trouble a viscount to go out in person, so both of them have quite deep doubts about the Bird family's sending someone to come this time.
As for this Juventus viscount, Julien had never heard of it, and Offariel didn't know anything about it - after all, she hadn't appeared in this world for thirty years, and she didn't know many things. And now, their focus is on why the other party suddenly asked to visit at this time.
Although O'Faryl had also said that it was normal for nobles to interact and visit each other, Yulian was only a lord of a noble fief at the moment, and he didn't even have a formal title of nobility, and in terms of his status and current status, he was just a lord. It should be said that in a short period of time, no one should want to associate with such a low-status nobleman. Even if someone wanted to come, it wouldn't be a figure of the Viscount's level.
"Something doesn't seem right. β
Yuren shook the teacup in his hand, his expression still relaxed and leisurely, in stark contrast to Ofariel, who was sitting next to him, frowning and thinking.
"My lord, have you ever committed anything before?"
"How so?"
In the face of Ofariel's questioning, Yulian put on a rather innocent expression.
"You know, I've always been law-abiding, how could I do that kind of thing? And, anyway, I'm a victim, right?"
β...........................β
O'Faryl felt her head start hurting again.
β......... Forget it, we can only wait for them to come to know why the other party is here, and at the moment, we have more important problems to deal with, Lord Yulian, you should understand that if those nobles are really here to find trouble with us, then we must try not to let them find trouble, at least not on the surface. β
Speaking of which, it is necessary to increase the number of minions.
Yuren shrugged his shoulders, it was not illegal to buy and sell slaves on this continent, some people voluntarily sold themselves into slavery because they lived in poverty, and some people fell into slavery between nobles or in wars and wars between countries. Of course, these slaves were not available anytime and anywhere. In fact, they are also considered luxuries, and they are not something that can be bought anywhere.
"I see, I'll take care of it. β
"Huh?"
Although he had a premonition, Ofaril was still a little surprised after hearing Yuren's answer.
"Are you going, sir, are you sure you're going to take care of this yourself?"
"What, is there a problem?"
"This ..............."
Faced with Yulian's rhetorical question, Ofariel was speechless for a moment.
"There is no problem, but it's just a trivial matter like buying slaves, you don't need the lord to go out personally, as long as I bring a few servants to deal with it, you, as a lord, should stay in the castle and control the overall situation." β
"No, no, Miss O'Faryl, I don't think so. β
Yuren shook his head, then held out a finger.
"I promise you, if I were asked to do it, it would work even better......... Don't worry, leave it to me, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer. β
β..................β
Hearing this, O'Faryl couldn't help but look at Yu Lian in confusion, he couldn't understand why this young lord would be so confident in this, the reason why she asked her to go was mainly because she didn't worry about this lord, judging from the situation of these lords, Yu Lian obviously didn't know, and he didn't care about the ordinary affairs between these nobles, many things that should be paid attention to, he was resigned to it, and didn't care.
But what Ofariel needed were well-bred and deceitful people who could act as servants of the nobility.
But does this lord really understand what he wants?
"You don't need to worry about it, I've got my own measure. β
Let's hope so.
After seeing what Yuren did to those bandits, Ofaril already knew very well that he had to listen to the words of this young lord, but after all, he was no longer a princess at the moment, and the lord gave an order, and he had to obey his orders.
"So, I'll stay in the castle and take care of the rest, sir, do you have anything else to explain?"
Hearing Ofariel's question, Yuren thought for a moment before speaking.
"There is no problem with road construction. β
"Everything went well, my lord. β
Hearing Yuren's inquiry, Ofariel took out a piece of information from his side and looked at it carefully.
"The road has been repaired, it doesn't look like there's any problem, everything is going exactly as required. It's just that in terms of funding, it seems to be a bit over budget. β
"It's not that we don't have money now, so we can just make up for it. β
Robbery is indeed a lucrative business.
It's dark at night.
As the three hands on the clock in the hall coincide again into an upward fingerline, the heavy, slow and regular chime rings, echoing through the quiet of the castle.
The light dimmed instantly.
The supernatural wind blew through the hall, swirling, gathering on the high ceiling, and at this moment, the armor that had been placed around the hall as ornaments also raised their heads, their helmets flashing a dazzling red light, looking at the figure slowly walking down the stairs. After Yulian brought them back to the castle, these spirit warriors turned back into their original decorations, there is no way, the spirit warriors need to consume power, therefore, before absorbing enough soul power to materialize it, in order not to consume these powers, they continue to maintain the appearance of decorations, and stay quietly on the base, and this is not without benefits for Yulian, they can not only serve as decorations, but also can be used to quietly monitor the entire castle, presumably no one will find out, those armor placed in the corridor, hall, is actually a living lifeγ
"Good evening, everyone. β
Yuren walked down the stairs and looked at the spirits floating not far in front of him. Listen to their souls whispering in the icy wind.
"I think you've heard what our eldest lady said. β
Yu Lian said, arranging his dress.
"So I need your help now......... But you have to understand that it is not as simple as it used to be, and that it will require you to make considerable sacrifices............ I hope you will think carefully, of course, be careful, and don't let our noble and beautiful princess find out. β
The soul storm suddenly spread, and the unique psychic communication of the geists unfolded at this moment, even those geist warriors disguised as armor, the red light in their eyes at this moment was also flickering, changing with the degree of soul communication.
Yulian smiled and looked at the empty hall in front of him, in fact, these geyers are his best helpers, although O'Fariel is also quite good, but the so-called human heart is unpredictable, Yulian is difficult to judge, after learning his true identity, whether the princess will accept him. Of course, this is not a big problem for Yulen, as long as you make her your own woman......... But it also takes time. Although in terms of action, this matter itself only takes a short time to complete, but it is still a long way to go before she can obey herself, both physically and mentally.
But it doesn't matter, it's part of the game.
The soul storm began to weaken, and the invisible, cold wind had stopped, and the red points of light that jumped like flames of the spirit warriors trembled for a moment, then stabilized again, and then disappeared into the dark abyss.
It seems that the conclusion has been reached.
