As soon as Earl Wright's slightly warning words came out, the atmosphere in the room was a little different.

Although there are still many people who are still unhappy with Claire, they are wary of other people around them.

No matter how harmonious and friendly everyone is on the surface, no one is a fool when it comes to their own core interests, and no one is willing to give up. On the surface, everyone is a fellow vassal, but in private they have become opponents.

Claire got a promise from Earl Wright and was relieved.

As Earl Wright and others had guessed, Claire's appetite was not satisfied with a tiny town of Tilling. With his personal strength, which is slightly superior to other contenders, he naturally wants more territory. The larger the territory that can be obtained in the early stage, the more resources and population you control, and the greater the help for development.

At the lower level, professionals do not have such a big crushing advantage, but Claire is different, no matter what scale of war the mage is in, the role is far greater than that of ordinary professionals. A powerful magician equals an army, no joke.

Claire Jewel was in front of her, and the other barons seemed to be infected, and quickly made a decision, to Count Wright's surprise, no one chose the territory within the scope of Trois-Rivières anymore.

Even Moore, who originally wanted to choose the town of Faro, gave up his original idea.

A territory of limited size, and a territory with great growth potential, but anyone with a little ambition knows how to choose.

"Very well, I'm glad you made your choice. I would like to remind you once again that unity is the key to the strength of Trois-Rivières, and I don't want to see something bad happen. ”

Earl Wright repeated it again, but judging by the expressions of the crowd, most of them didn't take it too seriously.

Claire looked at the sand table in the hall and began to plan for the next period of time after identifying Tiling Town.

The choice of Tiling Town is not Claire's desire to be in the limelight.

In fact, even if Claire guessed that after Count Wright caught the heir of Count Marcus, there would definitely be some kind of tacit understanding between the two sides, and the territory of the new barons was likely to be a tacit understanding between the two sides, Claire still didn't want to go.

The reason is very simple, in the short-term war, Count Wright is invincible, and it must be dominated by Count Marcus's concession. But the two families have fought for hundreds of years, and they still exist today, which also proves that neither of the two parties can help each other at all.

Now, even if Count Marcus takes the initiative to back down, who can guarantee that the other party will not come back in a short time. In this way, this land taken by Count Wright from Count Marcus will definitely become the front line. Even if there is no large-scale conflict between the two sides, it will not be too calm as a place where the two forces meet.

Claire has magic technology in his hands that is ahead of this world, and all he needs is his own territory and time, and he can't take risks.

But after learning about the situation in the town of Tilling, Claire changed her mind.

Well, it's not that Claire doesn't dare to take risks, but she has to look at the benefits. Blocking the knife for Count Wright before, it was just a piece of land that made no difference in Claire's eyes, and it was really unacceptable. However, if there is a good start-up capital, it is different. The development boost from this income is worth the risk for him.

The details of the town of Tilling, which are very different from the simple population territory taxes on parchment, come from a teenager named Ivan.

A scene from two days ago came to his mind.

"You said a soldier wanted to see me? Still have important information to trade with me? "Claire, who originally just came to Fred's small manor to visit Wade and learn about the training of recruits by the way, had an expression as if you were teasing me after hearing Wade's report on the latest situation.

"Whoever came from, it can't be a spy arranged by anyone."

"I don't know, he won't say anything unless he sees you." Wade spread his hands out, expressing his helplessness. "As for who he is, he claims to be a farmer, but I don't look like it at all."

"You take all this kind of people?" Claire was a little speechless. "Obviously not a good person, maybe you're going to trap me, just drive me away."

"Oh." Wade nodded, and was about to leave.

"Wait." Claire changed her mind, thinking that even if someone arranged a spy, she would meet first to see what the other party had to say. "Forget it, you bring him here, I'll see what the hell is going on first."

Seeing the teenager in front of her, Claire couldn't help but glare at Wade.

"The soldiers you recruit won't all be of this quality. Good guy, you still say that the money is not enough, are you embezzling! ”

Wade's eyes widened, and he began to scream.

"Oh my God, my lord, how can you slander me so much? You don't know how many nobles are recruiting troops now, and how much thought I have spent trying to recruit these 100 people. I have carefully selected each person, not to mention others, and in terms of physical fitness, each and every one of them is qualified. ”

Claire took a serious look at the boy and found that he was well-developed, tall and strong, and there was a clear difference between him and the commonly malnourished civilians in this world, no wonder he was recruited by Wade at a young age.

Well, it seems that Wade is still very dedicated to his work.

"I heard you want to make a deal with me?"

"Yes, honorable Lord Claire. I have a piece of information that would be helpful to you, and I would like to ask you for a favor. The boy was extremely respectful, and saluted Claire, and could not find fault with the etiquette.

Claire's heart moved, and she noticed this detail, and became interested in the teenager. Although paper has become widespread in this world, there is no supporting education, so the literacy rate of the common people is generally not high, let alone know etiquette. The young man in front of him is definitely not from a civilian background.

"yes, tell me about it."

"Thank you, sir." The young man still bowed slightly, then glanced at Wade and did not speak.

Wade understood, greeted Claire and prepared to leave.

Claire shook her head and grabbed Wade.

"It's fine." Claire smiled nonchalantly. "Wade is the person I trust the most, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly."

"Yes, sir, I see." Seeing this, the young man no longer insisted, with a wry smile on his face.

"Before you tell you something, you don't mind hearing a story."

Claire and Wade looked at each other and laughed silently.

This plot, if I'm not mistaken, was very common in the Blue Star in the previous life.

"It's okay, I have a lot of time, you make it up slowly, no, you say it slowly."
