The next day, Delin handed over the greeting post, and received a reply from Viscount George on the same day, saying that he was free the next day, and expressing his warm welcome to Delin.

"Your Excellency, I am very happy to have your arrival, and even the bleak dark clouds above my head have been diluted a lot. Viscount George gave him a warm welcome. With a flick of his hand, 20 knights in full costume saluted Delin, then bowed three times on horseback. It was the grandest welcome ceremony among the nobles. If it is a baron visiting, the normal number of people should be 5 or 12, while in the face of a viscount visit it is 20 or 22, and the count is 50 or 52, if it is a higher rank, then you go to visit them. In fact, the Earl seldom bothered to come to the Viscount's mansion in the form of a visit.

"Your Excellency, I am also very saddened to hear that such a thing has happened in your territory. If I had been there at the time, I would have been killed more tragically and mercilessly, after all, I don't have the strength of you. But for now, I can guarantee that if they dare to come back, they will be here, because I have hired a high-ranking Saint at Redden Castle. Our safety is no longer an issue. Delin's mood slowly changed from sad to happy, which made people feel very close. And a tone of honesty and the taste of common advance and retreat revealed between the words instantly made Viscount George feel good.

"Lord Delin, you are a different kind of nobleman. Viscount George said.

"You don't look like an ordinary viscount, you're far superior to them. "In Noria, there is no one who doesn't like to be praised for their strength.

"Your Excellency, I have come today mainly to thank you. As you know, my realm has just been developed and built, and a lot of the material needs to pass through your realm. However, I'm sorry that this time I commissioned the help of the Lorente family, so I rarely buy from your territory. Delin said apologetically, and then changed his smile, "You are not embarrassed in the slightest, and you have opened the door widely, which makes me admire your noble character." In fact, it's only natural that you should collect taxes from them, and it's more than money I've already advanced to them. ”

As soon as the viscount heard this, he understood what Delin meant, and his good opinion of Delin increased a lot, and no one felt disgusted with the person who gave him money. "Lord Delin, in fact, there is no good output in the territory, except for the fresh fish of Luce Lake. Oh, you'll be sure to try it later. The Laurente family's business is indeed famous, and it was a wise choice to turn to them. However, if it is only a piece of stone, the stone factory of Viscount Gus in the north is more suitable for your requirements. The distance is short, and the price will also give you a great discount. Of course, this is not because I have an opinion about the Lorente family, but because I am stating a fact. The viscount said.

"Oh, of course I believe in your character, and I understand your good intentions! I came to visit you today to discuss other things, such as coordinated defense and joint defense against the enemy. You know, it may have been a bit unpeaceful lately, and I only have less than 30 knights in my hands, although they are all not bad, but after all, the number is too small, once you encounter a large-scale enemy, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. Although this possibility is very small, we cannot but think that it is a matter of our safety. Delin said earnestly.

"Lord Delin, you're so right! You may not know that those damn wretches have done so many outrageous things. To tell you the truth, I suffered heavy losses this time, losing more than 30 high-ranking knights and more than 50 excellent warriors. As you said, this proposal is very important, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?" asked the Viscount.

"There is no suggestion, but solidarity is due, for example, there is an enemy in your territory that is difficult to deal with, even if it is a Holy Order, as long as I get your news, I will definitely ask Ciric to come to help, and if I ask you for help, I hope you can also help. As for the losses and booty, I think we can discuss them on a case-by-case basis. Delin said.

"It's a great idea, if you were there, I hope it gets out as soon as possible, and if you don't mind, we can sign a more concrete agreement." "The Viscount felt that Delin was getting more and more lovely, even though it was only the first time they had met.

"Your Excellency, I have come here today to have a good deal to discuss with you. Delin's expression was a little hesitant.

"Oh!" Viscount George's expression was a little curious, but the expression of pleasure slowly faded. He knew it was time for him to pay the price. Because the first two things are extremely beneficial to himself, how can he say it? Needless to say, there are many benefits to collecting taxes, and forming an alliance is also a lot of benefits, not to mention anything else, but it is just a high-level holy level, which determines that he does not need to help himself at all, and when he needs to help himself, he is actually useless. And he also has a special identity, the future husband of His Royal Highness Rhea, maybe he will be his subordinate lord in the future! He is willing to pay such a price, and according to the principle of equivalent exchange, he will have to pay a big price. "I don't know what ...... deal you're talking about"

"Territory. Delin looked at the viscount and said, "As you know, my territory is too small. The usable area is less than 15 square kilometers, which is a great limitation for the future development of my territory. With enough territory, I can develop better, and at the same time, your territory can prosper better, which is actually a win-win situation for us. Delin's tone was calm, as if he were talking about an ordinary deal.

"It doesn't seem like a good deal. This is the legacy of my ancestors, and I forgive my offense, I don't want to be spurned by my children and grandchildren. "Viscount George, does he really want to settle here? His Royal Highness Rea has the fief of the earl. Or did he want to prove his worth by his actions? This also seemed reasonable, because he had also heard the rumors of Her Highness Rhea. But to make him sell his land, it is really a bit unbearable.

"Your Excellency, you can think about how much tax revenue your territory will increase each year if I grow the population of my territory to more than 500,000 people, and even open a trade route to the east?" asked Delin, "It is definitely cost-effective to exchange the prosperity of the entire territory for a sparsely populated land. And I'll pay enough gold for it. ”

"How can you be sure that you will be able to develop your territory, and even open up a trade route? As for the gold coins, I think as long as the territory is still there, and my people are still there, there will always be them. The viscount said confidently.

"Your Excellency, you have a point, but I can guarantee that my territory will prosper, if nothing else, but because I am Delin. As for your good people, I don't need them. I've come to discuss this with you because I want to get along with you. In fact, don't you think your territory is a bit too large? It is said that my Tarzan Territory used to be your family's domain. Since the first piece can be divided, the second piece can be divided. It is entirely possible for me to apply to His Highness Breno to redraw the border, and then you will only receive a small reduction in taxes. "Soft can't do it, Delin has to use both soft and hard. Either way, he felt it was imperative to increase the size of his territory.

"You ......" Viscount looked angry, but in fact he was not as angry as he appeared. For him, the proximity to the barren territory to the west did not make much difference, and all he wanted was more benefits. "Baron Delin, you are not in line with the rules of the nobility in doing so, and it will not necessarily be effective. ”

"Maybe! That's the last step on my mind, and I don't want that. As for whether it will be effective or not, I am confident in that. Delin laughed.

"You...... How much do you want?" asked the Viscount.

"The demarcation line is advanced by 5 kilometers. Delin said.

"No, your appetite is too great, it has reduced my territory by a quarter, and there are still my iron mines and pastures there, no, absolutely not!"

"All the inheritance is yours!" said Delin.

"That's not going to work!Advance two kilometers at most!That's my bottom line!" the viscount began to growl.

"That's too little! The larger the area, the higher the unit price I give. ”

The two began a long tug-of-war, and finally the demarcation line was determined to advance 3 kilometers to the southwest, and Delin had to pay a price of 10,000 gold coins per square kilometer for the 18 square kilometers of land, as well as bear the defense and taxes, that is, this land has been completely owned by Delin. And those few people, Delin generously returned them to Viscount George, and the previous defense was equally effective.

He didn't worry about the source of the population at all, there was a lot of chaos, as long as the news was released, the population was, and they flocked to it. However, there must be a saint-level powerhouse in charge, and a candidate who knows how to operate, and he has a candidate in his heart. I didn't plan to develop the territory so early, but the plan never caught up with the changes.

"Mr. Ciric, I have a lot of questions for you. I guess you'd be happy to give you an answer, wouldn't you?" Drin returned to Pittsburgh, where he was under construction, and continued his magical studies, this time bringing Jamili with him.

"Yes, three a day, it's still the old rule, ask more to add money, and this little girl is not included. Ciric said.

"Really, it seems that Mr. Ciric is still so insatiable. It seems that I should think about whether I should give you the lowest rating when I go back, that way I can save a lot of points, maybe I do this a few more times, and the points saved can help me hire an extra Saint for two months. Delin said, with a faint smile, "That's right, I have 10,000 points, and you are the first time I have used the points to ask for help." If you're good enough, we have more opportunities to work together. ”

Delin's meaning is very clear, that is, I have enough points, and I understand your situation, you rarely have such a chance to earn points, which can be seen from the fact that you have not received a task for more than a month, and short-term missions will not have such high points.

Looking at the young but cunning kid in front of him, who was as cunning as a demon fox, thinking of his red name on the panel, Ciric reluctantly chose to submit.
