Back at the camp, when no one was around, Vic asked the question on his mind.

"Uncle, isn't it a violation of the agreement between the family and the Walter family that we signed an agreement with Baron Clare and stayed here?"

Vic understands why the family is reluctant to be hostile to Trois-Rivières, but he thinks that at most, as Claire thinks, everyone will act and have a tacit battle, but he didn't expect that his uncle, who is famous in the family, didn't even bother to act, and directly signed an agreement with the other party openly, isn't this completely treating Baron Walter as a fool?

"A baron, why should you negotiate with our family?" Baron Eden's tone was brisk. "That famous general, Walter, does have some ability, but so what, if it weren't for his sister marrying Count Marcus, would he be qualified to negotiate terms with our family?

When he decided to work with us, did you think he didn't expect this outcome?

You can rest assured, when the time comes, he will definitely obediently hand over that territory to the family, and at the same time will not say any gossip. ”

Vic was stunned, he always felt that he understood everything Baron Eden said, but when put together, he was a little confused.

"I still don't get it."

"You, your talent is indeed a little worse." Baron Eden shook his head, a little regretful. "If it were the Baron Claire just now, he would have understood, well, uncle, I'll answer it for you.

The territory in Walter's hand has been eyed by the family for a long time, and he has always wanted to buy it, but he has always opened his mouth, relying on the power of Erdo Castle.

And Erdo Castle has recently been defeated, and in the face of the pressure of Three Rivers City, it is naturally impossible to offend our family for a small piece of territory that is not important to them. If our family puts pressure again, do you think he will be able to keep that territory and get the same high price as before? ”

"Definitely not." Vic shook his head.

"Yes, even you know that those in charge of the family don't know? They were simply dazed. Baron Eden snorted and grumbled dissatisfiedly. Of course, it is also possible that they really think that Three Rivers City has been quiet for many years, and it is also possible that they want to make some benefits when their strength has declined.

Talking about the territory.

Since Walter can't keep that territory, he naturally has to find a way to get the maximum value, but if he tells our family directly that he wants to sell it, those people in the family are not stupid, and they will definitely only buy it at the actual price. Moreover, it will also expose uneasy news inside Erdo Castle.

How could Walter, who is known as a famous general, make such a mistake? So he pretended to be a very reasonable exchange in the name of trading, and it seemed that the family had the obligation to help each member regain the territory, so the family agreed.

It's just a war between two big nobles, how can the family side for a small territory, although those old guys are not very good at brains, but they are not stupid to this extent. ”

"Then why did Uncle still come?" Vic vaguely seemed to catch something, but still didn't understand.

Baron Eden sighed in his heart, how could this child, like his eldest brother, also have no brute strength and no brains. But no matter how stupid he is, he is also his own nephew after all.

"Because we have the same idea as Walter, we just want to see the strength of Trois-Rivières. In the previous temptation of Erdo Castle, it was Count Wright who personally intervened and captured Marcas's son.

But as an earl, taking action in person speaks to some problems, either there are no other talents in Trois-Rivières City, or there are big internal problems. You know, his son, who is known as a genius, only had an accident a few years ago.

And after a little temptation, I found that Three Rivers City was still the same Three Rivers City, so there was no need to die. Even if it's Erdo Castle, there's no need to really live and die with Trois-Rivières. Sitting on the benefits of the three rivers and countless commercial taxes, how enviable.

The current Erdo Castle, the problem is no longer in the direction of Trois-Rivières at all, but in the north, and this Erdo Castle must also be clear. As for the territory in the middle reaches of the Tirin, this group of lords was still a vassal of Three Rivers City a hundred years ago, do you say that this kind of territory, Erdo Castle will really die?

How loyal are the lords of this territory to Erdo Castle? Even Trois-Rivières knows about the newly named Baron, is that Count Marcus really so stupid? ”

Having said that, unless Vic is really a fool, how can he not understand what is going on.

"So, that territory is just a gesture of favor to the family from Erdo Castle, whether we send troops or not. And the Baron Walter didn't really want to recover this territory?

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the strength of Trois-Rivières City, and if Trois-Rivières City really declines, then the two sides will practice. ”

Baron Eden had a relieved expression on his face, not so stupid.

"Yes, believe it or not, if we march fast, the Baron Walter will advise us to slow down. After all, at this time, Erdo Castle may be planning something big. It would be unconscionable to transfer Walter here, and the people in the north must have some brains. ”

"So, does that Baron Claire today know?" Vita was shocked and wanted to ask clearly, but he knew that since his uncle was so vague, he definitely didn't want him to know, so it was useless for him to ask, and he asked other questions instead.

"Him?" Eden squinted, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "I think he guessed at least the vast majority, if he can guess the whole picture, then the eastern part of the kingdom may be his world in the future."

"So exaggerated?"

"Heh, how can it be so easy to guess, even I, it is a conclusion that has been synthesized a lot of information, with his status and family, he will only know less information than me, and it is impossible to guess, so I will say that.

However, it is best for you to have more contact with that Baron Claire during this time, and I hope that in the future, it will be of great help to you. ”

Almost at the same time, Claire, who had returned to the camp, was also reviewing with everyone.

"I always find it strange that the Baron Eden was too quick to agree to the contract, even though he confronted me with words."

"You think there's fraud in it?" Norman asked after reaching for a flask out of nowhere, taking a sip.

"Not really." Claire shook her head. "I just think that even if it weren't me, if it were any other person, I guess Eden would sign this treaty with the other party."

"Isn't that nonsense?" Norman showed no mercy. "Who gave you the illusion that you felt that you relied on your affection to agree."

Claire was a little speechless, gave him a blank look, speaking of which, he admired Norman, he had just drunk so much, and now he can continue to drink, this amount of wine, a thousand glasses are not enough not to get drunk, and it can only be described if he is not drunk.

"I always felt like there was another reason behind this."

"No matter what the reason, it has nothing to do with you and me, you are young, why do you have so many worries, just remember what you should do.

Really, I could have made money safely, you don't have to come out with some moths, let me have a few days of peace, if you want to toss, it's better to find some Warcraft to. ”

When Claire heard this, she touched her nose in embarrassment, but she didn't bother with the secret behind it.

Although Norman's words are not good, the truth is just that, where is the position, what to do. He was now only a little baron, and many things were not his turn to worry about, and he had people like Earl Wright to worry about.

As long as the other party can abide by the agreement and withdraw from the Tiling River in the end, this battle exploit belonging to Claire will not be able to escape.

So, Claire waved her hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

The next day, Claire couldn't bear the loneliness and entered a mountain range near Emden.

The Emden Territory is actually quite barren territory in the Tilling River Valley, not because the land here is not fertile enough, but mainly due to the demonic beasts that are raging around the territory.

Due to its proximity to the Emden Mountains, which are not small in the eastern part of the kingdom, the demonic beasts in the mountains often appear in the territory from time to time, killing ordinary people and causing huge losses.

Even if you don't feel distressed as an ordinary lord lord, if you do it for a long time, no lord can stand it. After all, the people and property in the territory are all private property of clean government in the strict sense, and who can watch their own money disappear?

The previous lords of Emden did not think of seriously asking the Warcraft in the Emden Mountains, but unfortunately the strength of the Warcraft in the Emden Mountains is not something that the little baron can deal with, and it is rumored that a certain Lord of Emden annoyed a Warcraft whose combat power is equal to that of a high-level professional when he cleared the Warcraft, causing the entire territory to be almost abolished by the Warcraft.

Since you, the Emden Lords have gradually begun to be deserted, and even the current lords have taken advantage of it casually, and they have not sent anyone to take care of it seriously at all.

Claire's current strength, she thinks that she is invincible below the high level, so she naturally wants to go to this Emden Mountains to see the world.

So, he made an appointment with Vic, called the people, and went to the Emden Mountains to experience.

Baron Eden was very supportive of Claire's initiative to ask Vick, heard that he was going to enter the Emden Mountains, and gave Vic a lot of good things to save his life.

Claire originally wanted to call Bart and Norman to keep Eugene to guard the army, but she didn't think about it but Norman refused.

Norman said that Claire's behavior of wanting to pull him as a bodyguard was simply shameless in the so-called trial operation.

He is a high-level professional to follow, and what is the meaning of the trial, just change the name to an outing.

As for Barth, he was also left in the camp by Norman because he had been on missions in Emden many times and was familiar with the terrain of the Emden Mountains.

According to Norman, it is the unknown danger that can be used to have the best trial effect.

For Norman's behavior, Claire expressed a high degree of affirmation. Good fellow, this is right to trust him Claire, think that he Claire will not have an accident in the Emden Mountains.

In this regard, Norman only said, we don't know each other, we are just an employment relationship, if you die, my contract will end automatically, and I will earn a bounty without contributing, which is simply beautiful.

On the spot, Claire gave Norman a thumbs up, indicating that the other party was awesome, and took Malone and Eugene to the Emden Mountains.

After Claire led the people away, Norman's stiff face finally collapsed, and he scolded with a smile.

"This kid, he doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, what a great opportunity I have created for him, and I will definitely thank me in the future."

"Are you sure it's the second princess of the royal family in the Emden Mountains?" Bart popped up and stood beside Norman, suspicion written all over his face.

"Oh, I don't know." Norman was right, and just as Bart was about to say a few words to taunt him, Norman spoke again.

"I sensed the aura of a high-level professional, this aura was not suppressed, it was obviously deliberate, and the aura of this high-level professional was familiar to me, when I was in the royal capital, this aura appeared in the direction of the palace, so I concluded that the people in the Emden Mountains must be people of the royal family, and only they would have such a level of expert guards.

Of course, if at least that, I can't be sure that it is Her Royal Highness the Second Princess in the Emden Mountains, but have you forgotten what that Leonard said when we met yesterday? ”

Bart blinked. "He said that the second princess would come to the eastern part of the kingdom, so you can conclude that it is her."

"yes." Norman nodded. "The time and identity are all right, and the princess has a reason to enter the Emden Mountains. I suspect that Leonard may have run into the princess's guard, and he said that on purpose the day before yesterday. ”

"Tsk." Bart laughed too. "If it's true, then it's interesting, our Lord Baron is not ordinarily charming, in case of a spark with Her Royal Highness the Princess, well, your little mercenary group can make a lot of money.

Speaking of which, I have a little bit of this baron, what a good skin has been born. ”

"Superficial." Norman shook his head and gave Bart a disdainful look. "Do you think I'm in it for the money?"

"Otherwise, it's hard to become a knighthood, and you don't lack that, if you want a knighthood, there are many nobles rushing to give it to you." Bart was puzzled.

"Don't you think it's a bit interesting for this kid to do?"

"You mean the stuff he got in the territory?"

"yes, I just thought it was funny, so I wanted to help him. The political structure of the kingdom has not been moved for a long time, and since it is going to be moved this time, why not be thorough, if it is not broken, it will not be established.

On this continent, the human race and the beast race are just a corner of the peace....."

Claire didn't know Norman's true thoughts, but she wanted him to enter the Emden Mountains and encounter danger, and then meet the rumored very beautiful Second Princess. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, a princess he had never met, wasn't worth thinking about anything he had to think about.

Besides, Claire doesn't think he's a good person for eating soft rice, even though he's handsome.

He still followed the plan and made an appointment with Vic for the trial.

Vic's side also brought two guards, one of whom was a magician, and it seemed that Baron Eden also knew very well that in this kind of demonic beast mountain range, there were indispensable magicians who could heal.

In this way, with Claire, there are a total of three magicians in the team, not to mention that Claire's real combat power is invincible below the high level, even if it is the surface combat power, the group encounters a medium-level combat power of the demonic beast, and it is very easy to solve it together.

So along the way, the group almost didn't encounter any danger, and even the demonic beasts didn't have a long eye to provoke.

Claire is so depressed, this is still a ghost, it's not interesting at all.

So after a brief discussion, they decided to change their original intention of exploring the outer areas and go deeper into the mountains to have a look.

In this way, they finally encountered the first mid-level demonic beast that did not open its eyes.
