Brian received Isaac's messenger and spoke with the middle-aged man for ten minutes, and although the viscount wanted the messenger to drink tea with him, he insisted on standing and respectfully relayed the marquis's announcement. What Isaac means is that Archduke Alik is the emperor, he has the final say in this territory, since he has apostasy, he will not tolerate the bishop of the wisdom of the Holy Light, and a few days ago he issued an order to let the Marquis clean up the diocese of Clay City and the diocese of Toby Town, and now Ralph, the bishop of Clay City, was sent to Sacred Heart City to punish the crime, and then he will deal with the town of Lord Viscount.

Brian nodded, although he had already known the news, but Isaac specially sent someone to inform it, it was another matter, at least it showed that the Marquis still cared about friendship and did not want to stab him in the back. "What is the Marquis going to do with my two towns?"

"The Marquis is very embarrassed, and he does not want to take military action against you emotionally and profitably, but Emperor Alik has sent an overseer, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to disobey the orders of his superiors. The messenger replied, "The Marquis is now delaying the war for various reasons, but not for long, it is estimated that it will be a month at most, and from now on the trade between the two sides will cease, and the port of Homen will no longer be open to the town of Toby." ”

Brian sighed lightly and said: "Lord Marquis is also in a dilemma, the fiefdom cooperation is put on hold for the time being, you go back and tell your lordship, if you really can't resist the urging of the war officials, let's fight a battle, and start a war on the east side of Subo Mountain, which is considered a real combat exercise, and I will send the Maple Leaf Guard Regiment to meet it." ”

"Ah!" the messenger was taken aback, "I'm afraid that's not right, isn't it?"

"The two brothers of the family, sometimes they will have a blue nose and swollen face, let's make a show to the top, and have an explanation, as for the scale of the war, both sides can grasp it, go back and tell me what I mean. Brian said.

Sending the messenger away, Brian called Behemoth and told him the whole thing, wanting to hear his opinion. Besimo was not polite, sat down next to Brian, grabbed his heart and stuffed it into his mouth. Brian looked at this gentleman's appearance and behavior, and felt that he was really not welcomed, and he had to overcome his disgust, otherwise it would be difficult to tolerate.

"The old lady's craftsmanship, it's really ...... That's good. Besimo also stuttered slightly.

"I'm not here to invite you to eat. Brian's tone was respectful.

"The thing you said is easy to do. Besimoni said, "Everything is caused...... It varies from person to person, so catch ...... If you grasp the character of the other person, you can solve it. ”

"Tell me how. ”

"Alik, incompetent and greedy, if you want to solve the crisis from the root, give the new emperor a big gift, please him, and beg for ...... Ask him to spare his life and show his loyalty. Besimo himself poured himself a cup of black tea and continued, "You sent someone to the Sacred Heart City, and at the same time you sent the gifts, and then ...... Attach another letter, stating that he has destroyed the temple and completely disassociated himself from the Holy Light of Wisdom, wishing ...... If you are willing to serve the new emperor, most of them will be fine. ”

"Well, don't fight him yet, but hold the gem and shout at your lord to spare your life, right?" Brian smiled.

"Yes, but the Marquis actually...... In fact, with a small calculation, he did not try his best to help you, but was a little bit of a lively mentality. Besimus analyzed, "Ai ...... Isaac, a pretentious man, could have said a few words to the new emperor, or give you advice, but he didn't say anything, and sent messengers to exert pressure, show his favor, and more importantly, he ...... He always wants to crush you and show that he is stronger than you. ”

Brian praised Besimmo's grasp of people's hearts: "I also feel this, so I deliberately said that Isaac will send troops if he can't stand it, and he himself understands that he can't beat me at all now, and it will be even more impossible in the future." ”

"Isaac is good at everything, just ...... It's just that I'm a little narrow-minded, and I feel that I'm the smartest in everything. Besimo concluded, after all, he had been in the officialdom of Clay City for a long time.

"And what about me, what am I?" said Brian, who had only recently discovered that Becimo was still an arrogant scholar who did not choose to speak his word and had a heart above the sky.

"You, you give me food, I ...... anything Don't say it. ”

Seeing that Besimor still had a round, Brian laughed so much that tears flowed from his eyes, and waved his hand to let him continue drafting the law. Ten minutes later, Sarina came with two merchants, told the guards to report, and came to Brian's side. One of them was none other than the jeweler from the last auction.

"Reed, how are things going lately?" Brian said.

"It's not bad to have adults to take care of you, but in this troubled world, the value of jewelry will naturally depreciate. Reed said truthfully, he is now the designated gemstone marketer of the Toby Chamber of Commerce.

"You don't have to look too seriously, it's just a few beautiful stones. Brian comforted, "I heard that the western Gobi is rich in precious jade, I have three dwarven collection rubies here, you go and exchange them for the equivalent jade, as for the other expenses incurred in the middle, they are all mine." Remember, to be safe, to be fast, I have to see the goods within seven days. ”

"In such a hurry?"

"The new emperor ascended the throne, seeing that we bishops are not pleasing to the eye, and now we don't express it, isn't it a loss of people?" Brian smiled slightly, "But I beg my emperor to spare my life, and I will no longer care about the things outside my body, but I don't want Alik to know about my relationship with the dwarves, otherwise there will be too much trouble in the future, and you have to keep this matter secret, otherwise our business will not be able to continue." ”

"Of course, please rest assured, the dwarves' treasures are really endless, and I am still waiting for the adults to come up with more precious things. Reed flattered.

"Then hurry up and do it. Brian beckoned, and Sarina called another businessman who was standing farther away and gave Brian a brief introduction.

"Townsend, the biggest slave trader in Seneh?" said Brian, "I asked you to come to negotiate a more unusual business with you, and to accumulate some virtue for you, lest you be dismembered by wild dogs when you die." ”

Townshend's face turned red and white, but finally calmed down and asked, "What do you command?"

"From now on, I will buy all the dwarf slaves and goblin slaves, the market price of the dwarves and goblins is very clear to everyone, you use your channels, try to buy them for me, each slave, I will pay you at 30% higher than the market price, how about it, make money, right?"

"Is this true?" said Townsend, hearing the price, and instantly forgot about Brian's humiliating words.

"Of course, my Chamber of Commerce president, I will soon sign an agreement with you. Brian said.
