Early the next morning, Richard's meditation was interrupted. The attendant told Richard, and several nobles rushed over and demanded that Richard dispose of the splash.

Richard was a little surprised, and didn't understand why Splash's cold and withdrawn personality would provoke these nobles. So Richard came to the meeting room, and saw that eleven nobles were squeezed out of the hall, and the small meeting room was so full that there were not even enough seats, and several people even had to stand. But fortunately, they still knew basic etiquette and reverence, and vacated the sofa in the main seat for Richard.

Richard was not polite, walked directly to the sofa, sat down, and then said to one of the attendants: "Go and call Gangde and Splash over!"

The attendants were ordered to go. In fact, Richard didn't need an attendant at all, just a greeting in his consciousness. However, Richard did not intend to let these nobles know their hole cards. And now, Richard looked at them with a hint of malice. For Richard, an hour is worth a few thousand gold coins now, and the preciousness of his time is completely beyond the comprehension of these people.

Richard leaned forward, leaning forward with one hand on his chin, listening carefully to the nobles' complaints and demands. He has a serious expression, but his posture has an undisguised domineering. Under this gaze, the aristocrats who were boiling with emotions involuntarily swallowed some direct complaints about Richard many times, and only poured all their grievances on the splash, so Richard's face became more and more gloomy.

Eleven voices come and go, interspersed with impassioned accusations, declarations, statements, and appeals. Of course, distortions and exaggerations are indispensable to the key parts of the facts. The more they talked, the more excited they became, especially the Viscount Ambsee, who was even more eager to jump on the coffee table.

Even for a duke, the powerhouse of the Holy Domain is an object that needs to be tried to win over and rare. The man who died at the hands of Splash last night was Viscount Ambsee's bodyguard, but it was actually the one his father, the Marquis of Albleck, temporarily assigned to him for his safety. Now a Sacred Domain powerhouse has died inexplicably in the Blue Water Oasis, and the Viscount can't explain it at all after he returns.

However, when the water splashed silently into the living room, the temperature in the hall instantly dropped several degrees. The girl recognized the presence of all the nobles she had spared last night, so her eyes turned cold, and her hand rested on the hilt of the Eternal Sleep Guide.

The voices of these nobles were immediately half as low as they remembered that this girl was Richard's man. Being able to attack and kill the Holy Domain, and being so stunning, must have an unusual relationship with Richard. Thinking of this, their arrogance immediately diminished most of them again.

As long as they didn't have a bad brain, they wouldn't want to be a head-on enemy with Richard, and their original intention was to ask for an explanation, and by the way, to see if they could get some benefits, after all, the life of a strong person in the Holy Domain still has some value. Viscount Ambusi was the only one who had to hold on, and whatever the outcome of the negotiations would be, he had to take a tough stance, mainly to show his companions and his father's cronies who were hiding in his entourage, in the hope of relieving himself of his responsibilities.

After listening for a while, Richard raised his hand, and the parlor immediately fell silent, and everyone waited quietly for him to say something.

When you want to speak, everyone else will be quiet, and this is called authority.

With a faint smile on his face, Richard said, "I roughly understand, you guys drank a little too much in a few nights and met her." You didn't recognize her, you just made a few jokes, but you didn't expect her to suddenly move and kill one of your Sanctuary guards. Isn't that so?"

Viscount Ambsey hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "That's about it." ”

Richard suddenly laughed a few times, and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boys, you dare to joke with my woman! It's just a low-end holy domain, kill it, what's the big deal?"

Viscount Ambusi and the other nobles were stunned for a moment, "What's the big deal with the powerhouse of the Sanctuary Land?" Viscount Ambusi finally recovered from the shock and said, "Lord Richard, you can't say that! That's the powerhouse of the Sanctuary! You have to give us an explanation......

"Confess, do you dare to confess?" Richard's smile gradually became less sunny, and even began to be a little cold: "You guys are joking with my woman, are you impatient?"

Richard bit the word joking so hard that the nobles immediately knew his attitude and understood that Richard had no intention of accepting their whitewashed claims. From another point of view, Richard did not take their status seriously.

When a nobleman saw that the shape was not good, he immediately tried to ease the atmosphere, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Richard! That's just a woman, and Viscount Ambsey ......"

But Richard raised his hand again, and the nobleman immediately obediently shut up. Richard said lightly: "Okay, such a small thing has wasted a lot of my time, so it's over." I won't pursue this matter, and next time it won't be as simple as dying a guard. This is the Blue Water Oasis, it's my territory, and you'd better recognize my people. ”

Viscount Ambsee's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Richard! You are too arrogant! This is the end of this matter? If you can bear the consequences, we will see if this matter really ends here!"

Richard looked at Viscount Ambusey and said, "Your father is the Marquis of Albleck?"

"Exactly!" the viscount raised his head, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This Richard finally remembered his background.

But Viscount Ambsey did not expect that Richard waved his hand at him calmly, as if to drive away a fly, and said, "All right! If Albright is not convinced, just send an army over, and we will fight!"

Viscount Ambusi was dumbfounded, he never thought that Richard would actually open his mouth to fight, and he still looked very impatient. Shouldn't Richard apologize and then compensate him? Although he himself would still be blamed by his father, he finally got a result that conformed to the dignity and rules of the aristocracy. Although he is arrogant and domineering, he is not particularly stupid, since Shui Hua can kill the powerhouse of the Holy Domain, his strength is infinitely close even if he is not in the Holy Domain, it is completely impossible for Richard to hand her over, even if he changes his position, he will not agree. But Albleck's Sanctuary guards could not die in vain, apologies and monetary compensation, Viscount Ambsey thought that it was already the minimum requirement for settling the dispute, who knew that Richard's attitude would be tough and bad, and he would not speak of any demeanor.

In desperation, Viscount Ambusi had no choice but to force the scene, pointed at Richard and said viciously: "Okay, very good! You wait! I will unite other glorious nobles to crusade against you!"

Richard smiled lightly and said, "If you dare to point at me again, then I will cut off your hand." ”

Viscount Ambusi was ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to really point his finger at Richard again. He snorted heavily, turned and walked away, but he didn't even dare to slam the door.

After Viscount Ambsey left, Richard shook his head helplessly, and said to the nobles who remained in the room: "What do you think I need to do to make people learn to respect me a little more?

The nobles who were swept by Richard's gaze were all in a cold sweat, and they immediately praised Richard, saying that the longitudinal line plan was magnificent and magnificent, and Richard was the new generation of war gods of the kingdom, and he had long been famous, and there was no need to kill people anymore. And when Richard smiled and asked, 'Is it?', they all came to their senses, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

When Richard saw that the beating was already hot, he blasted all these nobles out. Then he turned around and looked at Splash and Gonde.

Splash's head had already been lowered, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and used all his strength to squeeze out a sentence: "I'm sorry." ”

"What did you say?" Richard could barely believe his ears.

Splash's head hung desperately, refusing to lift it or let Richard see her face. Richard suddenly understood what she meant, so he laughed and said, "You mean last night's incident? It doesn't matter, don't be afraid of causing me trouble, if something like this happens again, even those nobles can kill a few! ”

Speaking of this, Richard sighed again and said, "Some want to fight!"

"Me too! Now my bones are itching all over my body. Gangde agrees.

Richard stood up and walked back and forth in the living room a few times before he said, "Now is not the best time to go to war." Bear with me!"

Moments later, Gonder and Splash left Richard's meeting room one after the other. After walking out of the door, Gangde stopped, and was about to say something, but the splash hit him on the back.

"Hey, why don't you seem to wake up?" said Gonde, rubbing his back and grinning with his teeth. The girl's strength is not ordinarily large, and the power of an unconscious collision is comparable to a blow from a knight.

"Nothing!" the girl's expression looked like she was lying. She didn't wait for Gangde to speak, she turned around and walked away like the wind.

Gangde was dumbfounded, scratched his head, and said to himself with a blank face: "Didn't you just want to ask you to go find a few groups of horse bandits to open meat, why did you run so fast?"

At this time, the girl's heart was beating vigorously in the distance, just thinking, "He said I was his woman...... What does this mean?"

Another month passed in peace.

The first caravan to the Dwarven Empire successfully returned, bringing back great benefits. The proceeds of more than three million gold coins drove everyone crazy, and Richard took a quarter of the goods from them. He doesn't need gold coins, just ores and metals.

The great success of this caravan made all the nobles of the Sequoia Kingdom see the great value of this trade route, and for the first time intuitively realized the gold content of Richard's 25% equity share. It was a fortune that even the royal family would be jealous of, and now it was in the hands of a small pioneer knight, well, even if he was a knight, but since Richard's exploits were not established in the country, although the longitudinal line project was unprecedentedly successful, his nobility was not promoted. No one else needed to warn Richard that the storm was coming.

Richard had been waiting for this storm for a long time.
