Waiting, the messenger of the Marquis of Einjas stopped.

"Is this a fight, or is it a duel?"

Arthur asked with a smile on his face.

"Of course it's a fight - we don't have a mortal feud, and a duel will only damage the honor of my nobles."

Caral looked like he was rightfully imposed.

"Well, since it's a fight, what about your chips?

Jimt had just come up with a 'tax-free for my fleet to pass through the port of West Berlin', you wouldn't be able to come up with a similar chip, would you? ”

Arthur bowed his head slightly and spoke softly, but the words made the face of the messenger of the Marquis of Einjas change.

"Of course not!

However, the stakes are high, and I need to think it through! ”

With these words, the messenger of the Marquis of Einjas put away his sword, turned and mounted his horse again.

Everyone saw the arranger's embarrassment and inwardness.

There was a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in everyone's eyes.

But Jimt is different.

Surprise flashed in Jimt's eyes, who kept smiling.

The scene in front of him was different from his plan.

In his plan, at this time, Caral had already started a duel with Arthur out of anger, and he could start the next step of the plan - if Caral won, he would protect the rest of the convoy in order to tie up with the Count of South Los, and if Arthur won, he would continue to show worship with the 'knightly image' he had shown before, and maintain the face of the Marquis of Einjas.

To put it simply, whoever wins, he will get the corresponding benefits.

It's just that......

Jimt looked at Arthur who was smiling, and then at Carral, who had mounted and left, thinking about Arthur's words just now, and his heart shook violently.

The son of the baron, the son-in-law of the Marquis, guessed what Arthur wanted to do.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Jimt's face again.

It's a bigger smile than ever.

The other man walked up to Arthur.

"Arthur, I won't bother today.

Tomorrow afternoon, I will be on time for my appointment. ”

With that, Jimt gave a knightly salute and turned away.

The two noble cavalry also left in unison, as they came, but this uniformity was not praised by anyone in the convoy, and many of them pouted and looked disdainful.

Edwin said directly-

"Heh, pretend."

This assessment was immediately recognized by everyone in the team.

They all saw the performance of the envoy of the Marquis of Einjas just now.

Exactly in line with their usual impression of aristocracy.

As for the emissaries of West Berlin?

Seems to have a good relationship with Arthur.

That's half of my own.

Arthur quietly swept his gaze over everyone in the team, and sighed slightly in his heart.

There is no doubt that Jimt and Caral were successful.

One takes advantage of the disadvantaged identity, disguises himself, and makes everyone think that he is a fool.

One is to use the stereotypes of the world to disguise themselves and use their arrogant appearance to confuse the world.

But in reality?

Cunning as a fox!

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving one after the other, Arthur seemed to see two foxes leaving, especially Carral, who left first, deliberately slowed down, and Jimt, who left behind, deliberately sped up.

A new round of mutual temptation is about to begin!

Unfortunately, there is no way to see it with your own eyes. ’

Arthur squinted and sighed slightly.

As for the content of the two young nobles testing each other?

It's not hard to guess.

In order to facilitate communication, it must start with him, and then delve into the hidden legacy of 'Hilter Tower' in 'Ymir Manor', but it will definitely not waste any more time on this, and it will definitely come back to him again - it is not that Arthur is sentimental, but he believes that Jimt is smart enough to figure out why he was so 'honest' just now.

In the same way, he also believes that Caral will make the right choice.

In order to—

Benefit!

His existence, for the two of them, has a greater benefit!

The legacy of the 'Hilter Tower' in the 'Yumir Manor', even if it exists, is not something that Jimt and Caral can touch.

Whatever they gained, they had to be handed over to the Marquis of West Berlin and the Marquis of Einjas, who stood behind them.

But he's different here!

With the cover of Jimt and Carral, the Marquis of West Berlin and the Marquis of Einhas will not really 'notice' him at all, and will only denounce the loss of the two, although to some extent it will make the two lose some favor, but the two will get their own interests -

Who wouldn't want to participate in a tax-free fleet?

In particular, the coastal trade route from the port of Sith in South Los to the port of the old lion in the inner bay of Kirg, which passed through the territory of only the three nobles of the Marquis of West Berlin, the Marquis of Einhaas, and the Count of Bate.

When two of them are tax-exempt......

Is the remaining one still far away?

He believed that since the Marquis of West Berlin and the Marquis of Einhaas's family would have guys like Jirmt and Caral, then the Count of Bate's family at the next stop of the route would also have guys like the two who had the right to inherit, but were not ranked high enough, and would have to find another way out if they couldn't inherit the title.

Such a guy, once he knows about the tax-free fleet, will definitely be eager to join.

and even willing to pay the corresponding price for it.

And when the ports of the three realms he passes through are tax-free for his fleet, he has enough leverage to get more people into the water.

Tax exempt, meaning there will be no checks.

It won't be checked, which means there's more room for manipulation.

For example, selling the arms in the 'Yumir Manor' to the Count of South Los at a 'low price' is enough once in a lifetime.

Arthur swore that he would never do it out of distress.

He is......

I just don't want to be hindered.

He wanted to leave himself a way back.

This is also the fundamental reason why he didn't take action directly when he found out that something was wrong with Jimt, and for Arthur now, he needs a few allies outside of South Los.

You can't be too strong, you can't be too weak.

You just need to be able to stand up to the scene.

Otherwise, it's too ambitious.

With the 'funding' of Jimt and Carral, what would have been a fleet of ships could soon become three, or even more—when the fleet under my flag was able to appear in South Los every day, the first step of the 'Five Misters' Exchange would be completed.

What is lacking now is 'Miss Qiu Security Company'!

Maltz, where are your friends? ’

Arthur is looking forward to the friend who is proficient in training the 'death squad' that Maltz said - he needs the other party to train the elite for him.

In the same way, there is a need for an ordinary team that is 'eye-catching'.

In the name of 'merchant escort'.

On the outskirts of South Los, you can get a manor house to train this team.

Of course, it would be better to find two uninhabited islands and hoard soldiers on a large scale...... No, it's the escort of the ocean-going merchant ships, which is the port that belongs exclusively to the 'House of Credos'.

As long as he earns the title of 'Knight', there is plenty of room to do it all.

'The wind is blowing?

Will I be afraid of the wind?

The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish! ’

Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly, his black eyes flashed brightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

However, the moment he turned around, everything was back to normal.

The young 'medium' knew very well that that was later.

Right now?

He has a crucial thing to do!
