No matter how serious the conflict between father and son was, at the banquet, Viscount Pex and Knight Bourne at least maintained the restraint they should have.

Receiving each other's guests ensured that the banquet would not become a joke.

Thanks to his performance just now, a few nobles on Ronan's side who were close to the Bourne knight leaned over and greeted each other.

At the end of the feast, Ronan put down his untouched glass.

Under the encouraged gaze of the Bourne Knight, he took Casanna's hand and left the hall.

Shortly after she walked out, Kasanna immediately broke free from Ronan's grasp and distanced herself from him.

"There's no way I'm going to marry you!" She hugged her chest defensively, and glared at him with a flushed face, "Whoever fell in love with you at first sight, I won't go with you to that kind of ghost place in the cold wind collar!" ”

"You're right, I really won't marry you." Ronan nodded, agreeing with her.

As for the reason why the girl would hide behind him, Ronan knew that it was only because he knew that he was a new nobleman and had little to do with her father and brother, so he wanted to use him to escape.

Ronan doesn't care about this, he has always been tolerant of valuable people.

After all, the reward was already set the moment he offered help.

Kasanna looked at him suspiciously, and when she heard his crisp answer, she felt very upset in her heart, and ran back to her room with her mouth puffed out.

"What do you mean you won't marry me, it's obvious that I don't like you, hum, broken baron." Buried her head in the soft pillow, she lay on the bed and muttered to herself angrily.

On the other side, Ronan had already returned to the hotel where he was, discussing the purchase with the old Mo Tou who rushed back.

"Adults are not doing well." Old Mo Tou handed him the list of purchases, "The estimated value of the goods on hand is around 1230 gold coins, and there are also gold worth 2495, if you want to sell them all in a short time, I can guarantee a return of between 3000~3200 gold coins at most." ”

"The most troublesome thing is that due to the spread of the Black Death, many farmlands near Black Rock City have been abandoned for more than a year, and the Chamber of Commerce has restricted the purchase of grain and does not allow large-scale transactions."

"I used some of my past connections at the Chamber of Commerce, and I could only buy up to 30,000 pounds of rye barley."

Ronan frowned, this food was enough for his soldiers to feed for more than three months.

But he originally planned to pocket the villagers of the three villages of the Cold Wind Leader.

Winter was coming, and he had to at least make sure that these people were well fed.

"Where's the black market here?"

Old Mo Tou shook his head, "A month ago, the local city defense army carried out a sweep of the city on the pretext of looking for a missing priest, and took most of the goods in the black market, including grain, as their own, and now most of the grain in Black Rock City is hoarded in the lord's castle. This is why the restrictions on grain purchases have been aggravated. ”

Ronan nodded, indicating that he already understood.

His gaze was empty, and his attention was no longer there.

......

"Did something fly over just now?"

Around the castle, a patrolling soldier looked up strangely, and all that came into view was the clear blue sky.

"I don't know, it's probably a bird, haven't there been crows scurrying around in those dying civilians lately?"

The other man next to him yawned and replied listlessly.

"You're talking about the doctors with the beak masks, right?"

"Ghost doctor, they brought me this disease! Otherwise, how could people get sick wherever they went? The man swore an oath.

The top of the heads of the two.

The crow, controlled by Ronan, was standing quietly at the top of a tower, looking down to see what was going on below.

He focused his gaze on Viscount Pex, who was walking in the garden after the feast, and the woman he was holding in his arms.

The raven tilted his head as an impulse of primal desire was unfolding below.

A few minutes later, a panting Viscount Pex, tightened his belt and sat down in the garden pavilion with the woman's support.

The woman closed her eyes at Viscount Pex, fell asleep, and trotted away.

In another garden, she threw herself into the arms of the Bourne Knight.

Ronan in the inn was not surprised by this, what surprised him was the situation on the other side.

After leaving, all the important people in the banquet were arranged by him to be followed by crows, including the mercenary-turned-Xie Man.

Previously, he walked into the tavern that Ronan had visited.

The crow, parked outside the shop, looked at the closed door, spread its wings and flew to the roof, grabbing the cracks in the masonry with its claws and slowly descending from the chimney.

The pitch-black feathers blend in with the black ash around them.

"Yo roar, you're back, what's wrong with your face being so ugly?"

There was only one red-haired bartender in the store at the moment, looking at his gloomy face and quipping.

"If you want me to say, you shouldn't play any camouflage with a lower race like humans! It's time to suck them dry! That bastard! ”

Sherman sat down in front of the bartender, gritting his teeth and speaking with the anger of being humiliated.

"So, the plan is a failure." The bartender shook her head and sighed, "I knew I couldn't trust you." ”

"Just one last step! I can officially enter the Pex family, and when the time comes, let Elena kill that viscount and knight, and I will be able to control this human city in the name of it, just one step away! ”

Sherman's pupils turned blood-red, and his tone was mad, "But it doesn't matter, I've long been fed up acting in a bunch of food." ”

"Elena will blow up the conflict between the viscount and his son tonight, and then they will take the knights to defeat both sides in the castle, and she will bite the throat of the victor at the end."

"You go to the castle tonight, too, and make sure that none of the knights get out of there alive."

The bartender nodded indifferently, "Yes, what about you?" ”

"I'm in charge of dragging this city into the bloody abyss!"

"Collect the fangs that have grown from the corners of your mouth, I need to know a specific plan." The bartender rolled her eyes.

"Why do you think I'm going to go to such lengths to be the boss of a large mercenary group?"

Xie Man snorted coldly, and then explained, "The mercenaries are all hungry hunting dogs, and in the past, the Pex family's dog chain was tied around their necks, so they didn't dare to act rashly. ”

"I just need to let them know that there are no more knights in Blackstone City, and they will take everything around them and blow up the city."

"Since you can't draw blood slowly, let's drain the city's blood all at once, and pray that the Lord of the Red Moon will cast his eyes on the earth again."

Sherman prayed in a low voice, recalling the humiliation of the human at the banquet.

He vowed to pay it back tonight, a thousand times the price.
