Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"I intend to betroth my daughter Vera to you, what do you think?"

At this moment, Li Wei really realized what it means to feel like a second is like a year.

Earl Norton is indeed one of the more than 20 great nobles in the kingdom, and there is no way for Levi to hide his affairs from him.

The Marquis of Ashan wanted Flora to inherit the title and let Levi manage the Ashan family business as Flora's husband, while he retired early and used the remaining decades to become a legend.

It's just that Levi and Flora are still young and have some potential, but the potential has not yet turned into real strength, so this matter has not been made public.

But who is Earl Norton? As a great nobleman of the kingdom, he naturally has higher and more secret channels to obtain more true and detailed information.

Li Wei performed well in military strategy and general affairs. Especially in military strategy, Li Wei's several great victories showed his unparalleled talent and potential. There is no one among the younger generation of the kingdom who can even remotely compare with him.

Not only that, although Levi is excellent in cultivation talent, he is definitely not experienced, and he is completely unable to compete with Flora, who is almost the only cultivation genius of his age.

In addition, the Monterey family has a shallow foundation, a small number of people, and a lack of blood relatives to support them. Therefore, it is destined that even if Li Wei is in charge of the Ashan family, he can only rely on Flora and the current Marquis of Ashan, and he will never be able to turn his back on the guests.

Through various information, Earl Norton guessed the agreement between the Marquis of Ashan and Li Wei to a close. This boy from the Monterey family was probably going to get close to the big tree of the Marquis of Ashan.

Levi, the little cunning guy, had always kept his body very low in the previous conversations, trying to lower Earl Norton's vigilance. When Earl Norton made the first wave of tests, Levi avoided the easy and easy, trying to fool him.

But how could the little fox outplay the old fox? With just one word from Earl Norton, Levi was forced to the point of no return.

"What, you don't like Vera? Do you think she is too wild and doesn't follow the normal path?"

Levi couldn't help but recall the first time he met the second daughter of Earl Norton.

Li Wei remembered that Miss Vera had exquisite features, a beautiful face, and a strong figure. She did not wear a gorgeous evening dress like other aristocratic girls, but rather unconventionally wore a dark red women's hunting suit.

At his waist was a rather extraordinary-looking dagger, with one hand always resting on the hilt. The scabbard was inlaid with several fine rubies.

If I have to describe it in one sentence, this Miss Vera is like a rose with thorns, beautiful, elegant and tough.

Moreover, Miss Vera is not just a vase that looks good but has no use. During a simple conversation, Levi saw that the other party was a very smart woman.

Although he declined Li Wei politely that day, he did not refute Li Wei's face and made Li Wei feel the least bit uncomfortable.

Levi's memory only lasted for a moment, and he was thinking about how to respond to Earl Norton.

On the surface, Earl Norton is further forcing Li Wei to express his position. In fact, he also has another intention, which is to beat Li Wei.

Originally, the Monterey family was already attached to the Norton family, but Levi turned around and deeply tied up with the Ashan family. This was somewhat against the rules of the game!

"Of course not, in my opinion, Miss Vera's behavior is quite charming.

That day, Lord Earl, you invited me to the banquet. During the banquet, you were very protective of me. Later, you even asked me to try to contact Miss Vera.

Although Miss Vera declined me, I often thought about how to win Miss Vera's favor.

But something happened later, and I was lucky enough to be favored by Marquis Ashan. You must have guessed that I can no longer partner with anyone else.

However, I, Levi Monterey, swear in the name of my family that I will never betray the Norton family or harm the Norton family in this life! "

Earl Norton just remained silent and had no comment on Levi's oath.

Nobles are profit creatures, and Levi's words are not convincing enough for him.

"My lord, I think the existence of the Monterey family will be of no harm to the Norton family.

First of all, no matter how you say it, although the Monterey family is humble, the two families can be considered relatives. My grandfather founded the Monterey family with the support of the Norton family. This is an ironclad fact.

During this period, you also showed great kindness to me and gave great help to the Monterey family.

If I, Levi, backstab the Norton family, then I, my family, will never be able to gain a foothold in the kingdom.

Secondly, the basic power of the Ashan family is in the five Xintu counties. Not to mention the geographical separation between the five Xintu counties and other counties in the north. There is also a gap between Green County and the five Xintu counties. Lin County.

Just from the perspective of location, the possibility of cooperation between the Ashan family and the Norton family is greater than competition. Mutual benefit can lead to better development.

Not to mention that the five newly expanded counties are far too deep in the quagmire of war. In the future, they will focus on internal affairs and have no energy to intervene in external battles.

Therefore, I believe that at least in the next thirty years, there will be no major conflict of interests between the Ashan family and the Norton family. The two families can use Li Wei as a link to establish a strong and close cooperative relationship! "

"What a loud tone, with Li Wei as the bond." Earl Norton chuckled, seeming to dismiss Levi's statement.

But the obviously relaxed atmosphere let Levi know that the matter was half done.

So Li Wei struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Majesty, my little brother, I can't hide my little things from your eyes.

Now or even in the next five or ten years, I am definitely not qualified to be the link between the Norton family and the Ashan family, but it will be different in the future.

You must have guessed Marquis Ashan’s arrangements for me, so I’m not just bragging randomly when I say that I can become a link between the two families. "

Smart people like Levi and Earl Norton naturally need to say everything clearly. Levi only mentioned it slightly, and Earl Norton naturally understood.

Earl Norton has now completed his purpose of testing and confirmed that Levi was indeed selected by the Marquis of Ashan as he suspected, and will help manage the Ashan family as his son-in-law in the future.

Earl Norton nodded lightly, and then said: "I barely believe half of what you said, but this time is too long, and an investment that will not see returns for a long time is not a good choice.

Since you have chosen Marquis Ashan and want to continue to take care of me, you must let my Norton family gain something.

In addition, your influence and power in Green County should be high. I think since you have boarded the ship of Marquis Ashan, why don't you expand to five new counties? "
