"Bell, bell, bell—"

"Come in!"

When he heard the knock at the door, Baron Ryan Rees sat up straight, put away his tiredness, and returned to his former fortitude and ability. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He is indeed old, and often feels low on energy, and sometimes he has to take a break when he can't handle much official business, which is why he desperately needs a staff member to share the work for him.

But no matter what, he will not show his weakness to others, and his perennial military career has cultivated his tough style, making him feel that all the care and worry from others is an "insult" to himself.

"Father's ......"

Riffin pushed the door in with trepidation, and when he saw that Baron Ryan Reese was not doing his official business as he said, this uneasiness reached the extreme.

"Why are you here, didn't I tell you to stay in the living room with the bishop?"

Seeing that it was Riffin who came in, Baron Ryan Reese stood up suddenly, the flames of anger ignited uncontrollably in his chest, and the sound of questioning lowered the temperature in the study to freezing point.

"I'm ..... I'm ...... I saw that Bishop Kalian was a little anxious, so he ...... Just come and see ......."

Cold sweat ran down his cheeks and fell to the ground with a "snapping" sound.

In just a few minutes, Riefin's originally meticulously combed hair began to wisp under the adhesion of sweat, like wool soaked in rain, and it looked so embarrassed.

Seeing his father's anger, Riffin didn't even dare to breathe now, so he could only find excuses to avoid the serious, hoping to escape this catastrophe.

"Bastard!"

Baron Ryanris's calloused palm slammed on the desk, and the angry palm made the fir desk cracked, and Riffin's eyelids jumped at the scene.

Fir is a tree of great practical value on the frozen coast and is generally used for two purposes.

The nobles would use the heart of the hundred-year-old fir to make walking sticks, and the less old fir was generally used by the nobles to make furniture.

In addition to its "civilian" value, fir fir also has a high value in the military aspect.

The arms and shields of the noble guards were generally made of fir wood less than 100 years old and poured mixed iron (a variety of metals are made in a special way after becoming liquid, similar to the so-called alloy).

The resulting shield is not only lightweight, but also sturdy and durable. What's more, the magic transmission of this arm shield is also very high, which is very suitable for alchemical enchantment.

The sturdiness and impact resistance of fir wood can be seen as the main core of the arm shield, and the anger in Baron Ryanrees's heart can be imagined when it can shake a solid wood desk out of cracks without fighting spirit.

There's no way Reese couldn't help but be angry, he really didn't expect his son to be so hasty.

When the guests are still there, how can he, as the host, leave?

What will the guests think? People will think that the "Tarian" family is driving him away in this way without looking at him!

The etiquette teachings I have received since I was a child have all been learned in the minds of slimes? (PS: Slimes have no brains)

It is true that Bishop Kalian is not an aristocrat, and he must not have the crooked intestines and almost full of paranoia of being sick and murdered, but in any case, the identity of a bishop of a place cannot be ignored, and if such a thing is to be spread, it will deal a huge blow to the prestige of the "Talian" family.

Ryan Rees didn't want to accept the Temple of Dawn, nor did he want to be a springboard for the Temple to enter the Frozen Shore, but that didn't mean he had to offend the Temple, and he didn't have the capital.

Their own boat is small and cannot withstand excessive wind and waves.

In order for the ship "Talian" not to sink, Ryan Rees had to maintain the necessary friendliness towards the other forces.

"Get out of here!"

Ryan Reese reached out and pushed Ryan, who was blocking the door, aside and hurried out of the study.

Originally, he planned to delay for a while, so that not only could he show his helplessness to the outside world, but also let the bishop be mentally prepared for the failure of the negotiation in advance, so that he would not be angry with the "Tarian" family at that time.

But what he didn't expect was that his behavior as a straw bale son completely disrupted his original deployment, and now his family has become the party that is at fault, and if the bishop takes the opportunity to make trouble, things will not be easy to handle.......

Looking at the back of Baron Ryan Reese in the distance, Riffin's blood was cold.

He knew that the little caution in his heart could not be hidden from his father, and his father must have seen through his plan as soon as he appeared in the study.

Riffin is not stupid, although his retarded handling of the incident made him scolded by his father for being a straw bag, but years of aristocratic education have made him a lot better in speculation and thinking.

Combined with his father's mistaken words and the fierce reaction just now, Riffin now understands his father's intentions a little, and it is precisely because he has understood this that he is so desperate.

Obviously, he messed everything up, and the consequences were even to the point where his father would have changed color. And with what he knew about his father, the title of baron was basically far away from him.

Unless......

At this time, Riffin remembered the Azi he had just met, and the plan that the other party had explained to him. Perhaps, this will be a clear way for you to win in the face of danger?

It was a plan that could be called "great," so much so that Riffin was still a little thrilled when he thought about it now. Because it not only sounds promising, but also seems to be quite promising, Rifin has no doubt that once the plan is successful, the "Talyan" family will become the most powerful and powerful family on the Frozen Coast, not one of them!

However, although he listened enthusiastically, he had no intention of accepting the plan at first.

The reason is simple, because his father rejected it.

Riffin has always admired his father and understands the gap between himself and his father, so since his father rejected this plan, it means that there must be a flaw in it that he has not thought of.

But now Riffin can't care about any flaws or defects, he must be involved, otherwise, the future "Talian" territory will really have nothing to do with him.

He has nothing left, even if he fails, he is not afraid, because he has nothing to lose, and he can't lose his life because of it, right?

But if it succeeds, there will be no suspense about the candidate for the next lord.

"Anyway, my father gave up, so I might as well really fight. Riffin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while cheering himself up in his heart.

"Aziz has always been valued by his father, and now that he has been abandoned by his father, it is a good opportunity for me to accept him. If you could have had his help, you might have succeeded a lot. ”

Riffin, who had regained his composure, used his "smart" brain and carefully analyzed: "Just do as Azi said, unite a few more lords of the Frozen Coast, and accept the Temple of Dawn to settle on the Frozen Coast." ”

"Uh...... The first target was chosen to be the Molde family, the Count of Bronque was dead, and it was not easy to persuade a child and an old woman, and with the Silver family joining, it was even more likely to persuade others to join. ”

"By the way, there is one more thing to pay attention to! I must take the lead in the negotiations, otherwise I will ....... when the final benefits are distributed."
