After pondering for a moment, Sean suddenly asked, "Lord Knight, since you came here on the orders of Lord Count Cambert, why didn't you ask him for help?"

In this world, the low-ranking nobles are obliged to pay tribute and pay taxes to the high-ranking nobles, but in the same way, the high-ranking nobles also have the obligation to protect the low-ranking nobles, and if they fail to do this, then the high-ranking nobles will be abandoned, and both their prestige and strength will be seriously damaged.

Scott let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "If Master Cumbert is still alive, then I don't have to worry about this problem at all." ”

Sean was slightly stunned and asked, "Master Cambert has died?"

"Yes, he passed away three years ago at the age of ninety-three. ”

Sean nodded slightly, being able to live to this age is far beyond the average age of this world. Of course, those magicians who are said to have great abilities to slow down their own aging are not counted.

"After Lord Cumbert dies, will his heirs leave you alone?"

Scott pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Cumbert was Lord Feelington's teacher before his death, and he was very respected by Lord Duke. But after his death, Earl Fraser, who inherited the Lint family, paused ......, and under Sean's eager gaze, he shook his head and said, "Earl Fraser is too weak, his surname is completely different from Lord Cumbert, and he can no longer influence Duke Fieldton's decision-making." ”

Although the knight said it very tactfully, Sean still heard the meaning and understood the ins and outs.

Now that Count Cambert, who was the patron of the knight, has died, a certain nobleman who covets the knight's manor has begun to secretly attack and want to rob the knight's achievements.

Of course, this point cannot be done openly under any circumstances, because once you openly seek someone else's fiefdom, then you will definitely be spurned and resisted by all the nobles. Not to mention a nobleman, even if it is a duke, or even a certain emperor on the mainland, he has no right to deprive the nobles of their fiefs.

This is fundamentally different from the China where Sean lived in his previous life. Of course, the use of all kinds of conspiracy to obtain other people's land is already an almost open secret. For example, the knight, who was at the end of the Duchy's aristocratic system, immediately provoked a greedy and ferocious wolf after losing a strong backer.

Accompanying the knight-lord with a sigh, Sean said: "It's not that Lord Fraser is too weak, but that Lord Cumbert is too strong, and he hasn't nurtured his successor well." ”

Scott Knight was stunned for a moment, with an indescribable hint of surprise in his eyes, and he lowered his head, as if thoughtful.

"Okay, so what are you going to do now?" Sean then asked, "That damn nobleman has already used a killer, so I guess you're not having a good time, right?"

"yes. Knight Scott smiled wryly, "I must find a new backer in the principality." ”

"Why didn't you take refuge in that nobleman?" Sean thought for a while and asked, "Since Lord Count Fraser no longer has the strength to protect you, then even if you change your court when your life is threatened, no one should be able to say anything about you?"

"I did think about it, but the man's appetite was just too great. Knight Costa's brows furrowed tightly, as if he had aged a little in an instant, and said, "The condition he proposed was that I hand over the cultivation technology of that plant, but I couldn't do it at all. ”

"Why?"

"Because the cultivation technique of that plant was invented by Grand Magician Tiffany, and if I hand over this technology, it will be an offence to Grand Magician Tiffany. Knight Scott spread his hands and said, "The wrath of a mage is not something that a small knight can bear, so no matter what, this technology cannot leak out of my hands." ”

Sean finally realized that the ultimate goal of that nobleman was this plant. However, Archmage Tiffany is the most powerful five-star mage in the principality, and it is incredible that a nobleman would be so desperate to obtain her research results.

"And what about that enemy of yours, does he dare to offend the Grand Mage of Tiffany?"

Knight Scott hesitated for a moment and said, "He doesn't dare to offend Grand Magician Tiffany openly, but he can threaten me." And with his status, as long as he said that he bought the past from me, then even the great mage of Tiffany would not directly bombard him. ”

Sean nodded slowly, looking at the knight with a hint of pity.

Scott Knight is indeed very unlucky, sandwiched between these two big people, like a mouse in a bellows, and the two heads are not human.

In fact, looking at the knight's appearance, he seems to want to hand over that planting technique, but as he said, if he offends a five-star great magician because of this, then his fate will be very miserable, and it is estimated that all the manors will be completely destroyed at that time.

Therefore, unless he obtained the consent of Grand Magician Tiffany, it was absolutely impossible for him to hand over this technology.

With a sudden movement in his heart, Sean raised his head, just in time to meet Scott Knight's unspoken gaze.

Opened his mouth wide in surprise, Sean asked, "Lord Knight, you don't want me to plead with Lord Tiffany's Archmagician, do you?"

Scott Knight said embarrassedly: "Mr. Sean, after all, you are from a member of the manor, I really have no way out, if possible, please take care of it." ”

"Why me?" Sean rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I can influence Grand Magician Tiffany's decision?"

Scott hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe you can't now, but as long as you show a talent for magic that is far superior to others, then you will definitely be able to win the favor of Master Tiffany." He raised his head, looked at Sean with blank eyes, and said, "I have no way out, but your appearance has given me a glimmer of hope." ”
