After talking with the guards, Larry learned something about the Duke of Amberton, who turned out to be a very stingy man, and was reluctant to spend money to rebuild the castle's spire, and in order to save money, the Duke of Amberton also reduced the number of guards to a minimum, and he was in arrears at every turn......

Such a stingy lord caused many natives to leave their homeland to earn a living elsewhere, and now the duke intends to sell the land, which makes the natives breathe a sigh of relief.

After listening to the soldier's introduction, Larry couldn't help but feel a little worried, such a person is the most difficult to bargain, the price is low, he doesn't do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lose a son, if he opens his mouth wide, I don't know what kind of sky-high price he will shout.

Larry told everyone about his worries, and Sawan comforted Larry: "It's okay, you try to talk about it, it's okay to spend more money, the key is to achieve our goal, money is not the first thing to consider." ”

Larry nodded and his expression was a lot more relaxed, but Lawn on the side said in his heart: "It's not your own money, it's really not distressing......"

While the people were discussing, the soldier who had gone to report had returned, and he beckoned to them and shouted, "Come with me, the Duke is waiting." The people hurried after the soldier towards the castle.

As soon as they entered the castle, everyone took a breath of cold air, this place is even more dilapidated than it looks from the outside, broken bricks and tiles are scattered everywhere, many wooden beams are rotten and broken because of disrepair, and many houses have fallen from side to side, looking dilapidated.

The crowd followed the soldiers up the stone steps that were already overgrown with weeds towards the main hall of the castle, and saw that many of the walls were already crumbling along the way, and everyone couldn't help but slow down, lest the walls suddenly collapse.

When everyone came to the main hall of the castle, they immediately felt that the surroundings were much darker, and after getting used to it for a while, they gradually saw the surroundings clearly, only to see a few oil lamps in the huge main hall, no wonder the light was so dim.

"Welcome, my distinguished guests!" a voice came from an unknown corner, and everyone looked around, only to see a thin figure come out of the darkness.

Everyone looked carefully, and the legendary Duke of Amberton turned out to be a thin old man, with gray hair, a pair of small round eyes, and a big nose, and everyone invariably thought of the same animal.

Everyone hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Hello Lord Duke!"

"Please come over here and do it. The Duke of Amberton led the group to the window.

The light by the window was much better, and everyone noticed that the clothes on the duke's body looked quite old, and a high-ranking nobleman was dressed so plainly, where there was still a little aristocratic demeanor, but like a rich man in the countryside. However, no one dared to say these words, and everyone could only look as far as possible to other places, and not look at the duke's clothes.

The Duke of Amberton invited everyone to sit down and said, "I have heard that several distinguished guests are interested in buying some of my land, I wonder how much land you plan to buy, and what is the price?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect this duke to be so direct, without the slightest shelf of ordinary nobles, and asked the price when he came up, living in the style of a philistine merchant. Larry took the Duke's words and said, "Lord Duke, we do have some interest in your land, I wonder what parts of the land you plan to sell?"

The duke seemed to have been prepared, and immediately took out a scroll of drawings from the side, put it on the coffee table in front of him, pointed to one of the places and said, "This is it, including the surrounding area." As he spoke, he drew a circle with his fingers. Everyone craned their necks to look at the place where he had drawn the circle, and it turned out that the Duke was only planning to sell a portion of the land in the eastern part of the territory, which was quite different from what Sawan had heard before.

Larry looked at Swain nervously, and Swain gave Larry a look, signaling him not to worry and to probe first.

At this time, the duke continued: "I have a word in advance, if you want to buy this land, you can buy it in whole pieces, and I will not sell it piecemeal. ”

Larry nodded and said, "This is natural, we came to buy the whole piece of land, we are not those small landowners." ”

The Duke smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Have you seen the land?" Do you want me to send someone to take you to see it on the spot, and tell you that if I didn't have an urgent need, I would not be willing to sell such a good land, and you also know that buying and selling land is not a joke......

"How much is the Duke going to offer?" asked Savin.

"600,000 gold coins, at least. The Duke replied without blushing and without a beating heart.

"Sure enough, it's a miser!" everyone thought to themselves: "I really dare to open my mouth, and dare to offer 600,000 yuan for such a small piece of land!"

Seeing this, everyone was a little disappointed in this meeting, this duke was too greedy, and it was difficult to negotiate anything with such a person. The most helpless is Larry, he doesn't dare to have much hope for this negotiation, but it is too early to stop now, in short, he still has to try hard.

"Lord Duke, we want to buy more land, but this is still a bit small for us. Larry didn't make a direct counteroffer, but moved the issue elsewhere.

The Duke obviously didn't expect Larry to offer to buy more land, and the previous groups of buyers were all deterred by the high price he offered, not to mention the need to buy more land, but he didn't expect that these seemingly inconspicuous people had huge financial resources.

The Duke of Amberton had always been calculating, and he was not only greedy for such a high price for his land, but more so for the sake of getting a real big buyer, because he was selling more than just a small piece of land.

The duke smiled slightly, his eyes shimmered with shrewdness, and he slowly clasped his hands in front of his chest and asked, "Child, you have to be careful when you speak, some things are not something that can be said casually. You said you wanted to buy more land, even if I was willing to sell it, but do you have that much money?"

Larry sat up straight, stared at the Duke with both eyes and said, "As long as you dare to sell, I dare to buy!"

When the others saw Larry suddenly so strong, they all cheered in their hearts, and if it weren't for the duke's presence, I'm afraid everyone would have applauded. The Duke was also attracted by Larry's sudden outburst of strength, he involuntarily leaned forward a little, and smiled: "Young man, you have to be responsible for what you say, tell me, how much land are you going to buy?"

"All!"

"All?"

"Yes, all your territory!" Larry affirmed. In fact, now his heart is really like a scale hanging with silk threads, but the words have come to this point, and he must not show weakness, if he is overwhelmed by the other party's temperament, then don't talk about anything.

The Duke of Amberton stared at Larry's face for a long time, then suddenly grinned and said, "Okay, I can sell it to you, you can make a price, as long as the price is right, I will never say anything." ”

The Duke threw the difficult question to Larry, this is definitely a difficult question to answer, if you say too much, you will suffer, and if you say less, the other party will definitely not do it, and there is only this one chance, once the answer is not good, I am afraid that the Duke will not give a second chance.

Larry pondered for a moment and looked at Sawin with his eyes, who gave him an encouraging look, and Larry gritted his teeth and said, "Two million gold coins." With that, Larry felt like he was in collapse.

The duke sat there motionless, and did not speak for a long time, and the longer the time dragged on, the more furious everyone's hearts became.

Larry looked at the Duke nervously, his palms were full of sweat, and he kept telling himself to calm down and not be frightened by the other party, the Duke was just testing his endurance.

At last, the Duke of Amberton spoke, and he held up a finger and said, "I will attach one condition, and if I agree, the deal will be closed." ”
