Heaven’s Intention

A carriage marched to the castle of Baron Rocas.

Hundreds of soldiers. Divided into four groups to guard the castle, guarding the road.

In front of the castle gate, the carriage stopped.

When Lu Lun got off the carriage, he saw the butler who greeted him. This is the courtesy that a nobleman should have.

Mr. Lu Lun, my lord invites you to the study. The housekeeper said politely.

Lu Lun nodded and followed the butler.

On the mainland, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of castles.

Generally speaking, this is a castle that can only be built by nobles above the baron. Whether it is in terms of legal order or the cost of construction, the purpose of nobles building castles is to protect and provide a castle controlled by military force. secure base.

With the development of the times, castles are now built of stones, with arrow towers, moats, suspension bridges, and gates, and therefore for defense, so the inside is very dark.

In terms of comfort alone, the castle is far inferior to the town or the villas in the city, and only old-fashioned nobles like Baron Rocas still live in the castle.

Even Romon. After retaining and repairing the castle, it is also ready to move to the villa in the town to live.

Sure enough, after entering from the dark corridor of the castle, he came to a study room. This study room was originally not big, but now that several people came, it became even smaller.

Lord Baron Rocas! Lu Lun took off his hat and bowed.

Inside, is a desk, the baron is working hard.

The castle basically has no windows, not to mention glass, and the lighting inside is entirely based on candles or magic lamps. The natural lighting conditions are very poor, which is a necessary price to pay for defense.

Mr. Lulun, please sit down, please wait a moment! Baron Rocas said, Lulun was originally a scholar, and now he is the baron's first adviser, so he can't be too negligent.

Lu Lun thanked him, then sat down and watched him work.

Baron Rocas was about fifty years old, with gray hair and a thin body. Seeing this, Lu Lun found that he had aged a lot in the past year. It must have been a heavy burden.

Yes, in the past year, the evil disaster broke out,

The Baron struggled to support him. He was not considered a talented person, but he was said to be a qualified lord in terms of diligence.

Now that the goods are purchased, the price has increased a lot! The baron put down a document and said to himself.

The Barony of Rocas was not originally a wealthy territory, but after the disaster, it suffered huge losses.

That's right. Although the evil disaster has been brought under control in the local area, the price of goods has not fallen, but has risen by 10% instead. Lu Lun nodded and spoke.

That's right, the price of everything is rising rapidly...Mr. Lulun, I heard that you are also working as a comprador, don't you? I don't know how to solve it? Baron Rocas said.

As you said, it's just a part-time job. When my lord's territory is enriched, there will naturally be a special comprador manager to handle it, but the solution is not difficult.

Oh, Mr. Lulun, can you tell me? Baron Rocas was still very interested, his eyes flickered a little.

First of all, my lord, the Galle Territory was inherited. As you know, most of the original Galle Territory and the current Tattershaw Territory are fertile plains, with only a few hills. Therefore, as long as a little recovery, most of the supplies They can all be self-produced.”

...Yes, everyone knows that Galle is rich. Baron Rocas said, showing a hint of envy.

In terms of land area, the two baronies are about the same, but in terms of fertility, neither Rocasland may be as good as the current Tattershaw.

This is the first natural condition. My family's territory is on the coast, where we can fish and have a natural port where we can trade at sea. Therefore, there are more sources of materials, and the price is 50% cheaper than in the mainland.

It's true, but... I heard that there are pirates on the sea.

Of course. There are pirates, but if it's just to deal with supplies, then it's enough to just guard the port. Ships always have to go ashore to trade, and the supplies that pirates rob are also... Lu Lun said very frankly.

This caused Baron Rocas to nod.

Third, my baron is a level six druid. It is said that he can be promoted to level seven within three months. My lord said that he will make overall arrangements to triple the value of planting!

How much? Could it be that I heard wrong?

No, my lord, you heard me right, it's not thirty percent, it's three times! Lu Lun said decisively: And, the territories of the three lords are also treated in the same way.

Three lords, which three?

Sir Felser, Lord Nick, and Sir Farfell, of course.

What? Nick and Farfell, when did they become knights? This surprised Baron Rocas.

You know the masquerade ball arranged by the viscount! My lord has received two invitations, and the lord has handed over these two places to Nick and Farfer. Now they have arrived in the city and have been trained. .”

What? Baron Rocas was really shocked this time.

Two invitations. It means two lord (jazz) territories, and it also means that Romon has begun to full-fledged.

Baron Rocas twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a very reluctant smile and said: Oh, that's it, congratulations to your lord and these two newly promoted knights.

Thank you, Lord Baron, for your congratulations, but, haven't you received the invitation card? Lu Lunning asked knowingly.

...Mr. Lulun, what do you want to say? Baron Rocas couldn't help but turn pale.

Besides, I also heard that Mrs. Deb's husband, Lord Sanlantu, is very close to Viscount Edel. This time, the Viscount has established a meritorious service. If he can wipe out the demons entrenched in this area in one fell swoop, then go one step further. It's not impossible! Lu Lun said with emotion: Oh, I haven't congratulated you yet, congratulations to your daughter, Miss Ai Lini, who has become a fifth-level pastor, and she must be able to go further in the church.

Don't look at the inexplicable words, but Baron Rocas understood everything.

First of all, Lu Lun told Baron Rocas that the area and potential of the Tattershaw Territory surpassed that of Rocas Territory. The strength of the baron you were proud of before is not worth mentioning now.

The second is to tell Baron Rocas that you are in a very dangerous situation now. Even my newly promoted baron has received two invitation cards, but you have not received one. This is an obvious and dangerous signal-you have been squeezed out the aristocratic inner circle.

The third thing is to tell Baron Rocas that in order to be promoted to the earl, the viscount must not only have meritorious service, but also must have his own territory reach the level of the earl-500 square kilometers is indispensable.

Although four baronial territories were vacated, adding up to 600 square kilometers, they had to be divided up to the royal family and down to other barons. Therefore, Viscount Edel himself may not be able to make up the 500 square kilometers of the earldom.

Depending on the situation, I decided to focus on you who are weak in the disaster. Mrs. Deb is your eldest daughter, so she has the right to inherit your territory, and her husband, Lord Sanlantu, is very close to the Viscount. , Maybe they will cut off part of your territory on the grounds of helping Lord Sanlantu win the title of baron.

And your proud daughter Alini, although she has become a fifth-level priest, but if this level is difficult to pass now. Presumably it only developed in the church.

Baron Rocas' face was livid, this was the first time he encountered such a naked threat.

However, in his heart, he had to admit that what Lu Lun said was not wrong at all.

Then what's your suggestion? Consultant Lu Lun? Baron Qiang An suppressed his anger and said in a blunt tone.

Oh, this time, I'm here specially to propose to you.

Huh, sure enough, it really is wolf ambition! Hearing this, Baron Rocas immediately became angry, thinking in his heart, but before he had time to speak, he heard Lu Lun talking leisurely again.

Although Lord Viscount not only sent two invitation cards, but also wanted to introduce you to his younger sister, Miss Puffali, but my lord still thinks that your daughter, Miss Alini, is very suitable to be my wife, so I came to Come, although I think a daughter of a viscount family is more suitable for adults.

This is completely Lulun's nonsense. Viscount Edel has never expressed that he will marry his sister to Romon. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Romon will go one step further. contempt.

After Baron Rocas heard this, he suddenly felt that a basin of cold water had been poured in. Lu Lun was too arrogant, and he made it clear that - don't take shame, even the viscount is willing to marry his sister!

Seeing that the baron was silent, Lu Lun knew that it was just a matter of steps, and then said: Besides, there is only one adult in my family, and there are no other younger brothers or relatives. In the future, all the territories will be inherited by the legitimate son. Marriage will definitely promote the family to Viscount, thus making the family more prosperous and continuing.

Lu Lun's words couldn't help but move the Baron's heart, because he knew very well that, indeed, Romon only had himself, and the entire territory would still be inherited by his legitimate son. The position of Ion Lord is not far away.

...I heard that Romon already has a child, the maid named Bell? Baron Rocas asked, and this question showed that he was moved.

There is such a thing, but this will not hinder the union of the territories, and the status of Miss Ai Lini and her children. Lulumba said in a tone full of temptation: As a dowry, my lord will offer 100 carts of wheat.

Hehe, it seems that your proposal is very appropriate. You let me think about it for a while, and I will ask my daughter's opinion. The baron said, now that there is a shortage of food in the territory, 100 carts of wheat are indeed a timely help.

Lu Lun knew that this was tantamount to agreeing. Thinking of this, he stood up and said, Okay, if that's the case, I'll wait for your reply! (!)
