Chapter 271: A Stroke of Skill (I)
A Flame Sword, a Space Ring, a Soul Eater Armor, and a Demon Pet Ring.
This is all the spoils that Leon got from Sayat after winning this life-and-death duel.
These four items, no matter which one of them is put up for auction, can be auctioned for more than a million dollars, especially the Flame Holy Sword and the Demon Pet Ring cannot be measured by money.
In the spatial ring, there are also all of Sayat's belongings, including a large manor on the outskirts of the royal capital, four shops and two villas in the city, and other bits and pieces such as magic crystal coins, halo charms, etc.
Lyon was amazed by the wealth that Sayat possessed, and his own things were comparable to the entire of a modest family.
From Drodick's mouth, Leon learned that Sayat's parents had paid for the Rhine family.
As the only son, Sayat inherited all his fortune and was favored by the patriarchs of the family from an early age, and it was this pampering and indulgence in guilt and reparation that developed the surname of no one in his eyes to be arrogant.
"This Flame Sword is the inheritance sword of our Rhine family, and the ancestors of the year once used this holy sword to command thousands of legions to sweep away the Terran coalition army, and established a great reputation for the Rhine family!" Drodick picked up the Flame Sword and said: "This was originally a holy sword that only the patriarch could have, and those old guys also took it out to Sayat, it's really blind!"
Speaking of the patriarchs of the Rhine family, Drodick's tone was not the slightest respect.
Thinking of his and Corinna's bumpy life experience, Leon knew in his heart: "If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
No matter what amazing history and origin this Flame Sword may have, it is now a trophy of Leon, and no one can deny it, not even the Rhine family.
His brother-in-law can give it away if he wants, and Leon has always been generous in this regard.
"I don't dare to ask for it..."Drodick shook his head and smiled bitterly: "With this sword, I will be annoyed to death, and I will have to return it in the end, brother-in-law, you should keep it for exchange!"
Swap?Leon's heart moved.
When he returned to the box, Corinna was not there, and Drodick told him that he had been approached by Duke Buckley.
At this time, what will happen to Duke Buckley, who is the patriarch of the Rhine family, when he finds Corinna?
How could Leon not yet understand the hints of Drodick.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Corinna to return.
She threw herself directly into Leon's arms, regardless of her brother's being beside her, and gave her fragrant kiss excitedly and passionately.
Drodick had no choice but to innocently turn his head and put on a "just ignore me" expression.
After lingering for a moment, Corinna's excitement calmed down slightly, and her expression seemed a little hesitant.
"I know, is it the Duke of Barkley who wants the loot back?" asked Leon with a smile.
"Yes," Corinna nodded, "He wants to redeem these family treasures through me, so that you can make an offer." β
The current Duke of Barkley definitely doesn't want to see Leon, but these things are obviously very important, and negotiating through Corinna is undoubtedly the best choice.
With Leon's temper, since he has offended the other party, he simply offends to the end, and many times he completely makes his position clear, but he has no scruples.
However, he also had to consider that Corinna was a member of the Rhine family after all, and it was really incompatible with the Rhine family, so there was no need for that.
"I'm going to keep this Soul Eater Demon Armor..."Leon pondered for a moment and said, "The rest, including those manor villa properties, I can return them all to the Rhine family!"
"As a condition, first of all, the Rhine family must recognize the relationship between you and me, and it cannot be obstructed for any reason in the future!"
Hearing Leon's first condition, Corinna's eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness when she looked at Leon, and no matter how touching her love words were, they couldn't compare to Leon's intentions at the moment.
Derodik next to him finally understood why his sister was so fond of Leon, and he couldn't wait to immediately kneel at Leon's feet and howl loudly: Boss, teach me how to pick up girls in the future!
"As for the other conditions, you can negotiate for me!"
In terms of understanding the Rhine family, how could Leon be compared to Corinna, who was a member of the family, and he believed that Corinna would definitely be able to get enough benefits for himself.
It's confidence in yourself and trust in Corinna.
"Okay, you wait for my news!" Corinna was not the kind of woman who was scared, and agreed without hesitation.
As Leon's representative, she negotiated with her uncle.
Drodick couldn't help but give Leon a thumbs up: "Brother-in-law, I'm completely convinced of you!"
This time, Corinna was away for quite a long time.
Leon and Drodick waited almost two dosha before she returned.
"Let's talk!" Foxgirl's face was full of excitement, and she shook a scroll in her hand, "Look what I brought back for you!"
The scroll was unfolded on a coffee table, and a map was drawn on it.
Leon looked a little familiar, and carefully read the text of the marginal note: "This is a map of the Ironforge area?"
This time, he came to the royal capital, and received a new territory while being made a viscount.
This territory is in Ironforge.
"That's right," Corinna said, "I asked my uncle for a territory for you, and I know that you have just had your own territory in Ironforge, so the new territory must be connected to the new one. β
Her eyes flashed with wisdom, and her finger swiped across the map: "Uncle promised to strive to annex all this area to your new territory through the kingdom, and finally promote you to the rank of earl through the increased territory!"
Such a large area! Leon gasped.
Corinna's area was almost half the size of the Ironforge region, and together with the current Salling, it occupied a large corner of the Southwestern Province, and the territory was fully doubled.
Although a large part of the territory is a treacherous mountain forest, it includes the most important fortress of Ironforge.
"Can the kingdom agree?" asked Leon, this is a fortified area!
"There should be no problem, the main purpose of the Ironforge Fortress is to guard the dark place and eliminate the dark monsters..."Corinna said confidently: "The kingdom needs to spend a lot of money every year to maintain the cost of the fortress, as long as the Rhine family pays some price, I believe the kingdom is still happy to get rid of this burden." β
"They don't have to pay anymore, and they can take back the troops guarding the forts, not to mention collect a tax every year. β
"Of course, once Ironforge becomes your domain, the task of guarding the Dark Lands will also fall to you. β
"That's not a problem at all!" Leon laughed.
The Dark Monster is just right for his Thunderbeast Warband to train!
The existence of the Dark Land is the best reason for him to maintain the military strength of the Thunder Beast Warband, if he can be promoted to the earl, then the power he can control will only be more and stronger.
"The most important thing is that when you own this territory, you have a real city and a lot of land to cultivate, and more than 100,000 people, which I think should be all you need. β
"In addition, the Rhine family will come up with five million gold coins as a supplement!" Corinna finally said.
And also... Five million gold coins!
Although with Leon's current vision, five million gold coins was not enough to shock him, but after obtaining a large territory and scraping five million gold coins from the Rhine family, Leon had to express his admiration for Corinna's negotiating ability.
You must know that the person she is negotiating with, but her uncle!
It is estimated that in the eyes of the Rhine family, Corinna may have become a traitor who eats inside and out.
"Then your uncleβ" Leon couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, he really didn't expect Corinna to fight for himself to such an extent.
"Ever since Sayat wanted to deal with you, I haven't considered myself a member of the Rhine family..."Corinna saw Leon's thoughts, she reached out and gently pressed Leon's mouth, and said softly: "In fact, I don't owe anything to the Rhine family at all, only they owe me!"
"That's right!" said Drodick next to him, "We don't owe them anything, sister, I'm going to Salling with you too, it's no fun to stay here!"
"You're for Xiling!"
Corinna patted his head angrily, and saw through his careful thoughts at a glance: "You just die! Xiling told me, she can't like you, you will die of this heart, let me stay in the Guards Legion!"
Drodick was suddenly like a frosted eggplant, completely wilted!
Leon's mind, on the other hand, was completely attracted by the map on the coffee table.
If this territory can really be obtained, he will have the foundation to expand the Thunder Beast Warband, and it will definitely not be a problem to recruit 10,000 warriors out of 100,000 people.
With five million gold coins, as long as it takes two or three years to operate, the new Salling will inevitably lead to a new leap.
At least in the future, once the elves cross the Nucang River, he will also have some capital to compete.
Unlike the illusion of non-aggression with the elves across the river held by the top of the kingdom, Leon has always been extremely wary of the elves.
The threat of the elves, like a mountain hanging over his head, could overturn at any moment.
What he is working for now is to ensure that one day in the future, he will have the ability to protect everything he has cherished!
At the same moment, in another box, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Duke Buckley, sitting on the sofa, looked gloomy.
He silently said in his heart: "Sophia, there is only so much I can do for you, I hope Corinna can find her own happiness!"
