Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Ethan arranged a welcoming banquet for Lili and Tibers according to the custom of the countrymen.

This shocked Vanessa, because the standard Ethan proposed to her was a family banquet.

What kind of background did these two people have that the lord could receive them with a family banquet?

With doubts, Vanessa asked the servants to change their clothes and sounded out the truth.

When she learned that the two were just subordinates like her, Vanessa opened her mouth so wide that she could stuff two eggs.

Although she was surprised by Ethan's preferential treatment of the two, Vanessa still completed the tasks seriously as required.

And her work was recognized by Tibers and Lili.

The various delicacies on the table and the exquisite tableware made the two people unable to take their eyes away.

"Finally, I can change my taste. I have been traumatized by eating fish every day." Lili said happily.

"It's all prepared for you. You can do whatever you want."

With that, Angelina pulled Lili to sit down.

But Lili and Tibers didn't move, and looked at Ethan with their eyes hooked, because the host hadn't taken a seat yet.

Ethan smiled: "The hostess asked you to take a seat, what etiquette are you still talking about?"

Although Ethan said that there was no need to talk about etiquette, he was very satisfied with the performance of the two. The two of them did not take advantage of their favor.

During the meal, Ethan didn't talk about anything until the two of them had almost finished eating, then he spoke.

"Lili, do you remember that I promised you a piece of territory?"

As soon as these words came out, the servants who were serving on the side all widened their eyes, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

The look they looked at Lili instantly turned into admiration.

And Lili looked happy: "Didn't you give me a piece of land in the north? Now you want to give me another piece?"

Ethan was a little amused: "The piece of land in the north still belongs to you, you can choose another piece here.

Of course, you can only choose those uncultivated lands, with an area of ​​one hectare."

"Wow! I'm rich! Thank you, Lord Ethan." Lili was ecstatic.

Ethan smiled slightly: "When you are free some other day, go and choose it yourself! I will have someone accompany you, just tell him when you have chosen.

You will occupy the land as a freeman, all the output on the land will belong to you, and you don't have to pay any taxes to me.

In addition, I would like to ask you if you are still willing to work here?"

"Yes, yes!" Lili nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Ethan turned to look at Vanessa.

"Vanessa, this Miss Lili will be handed over to you in the near future. I hope you can take good care of her and let her get familiar with everything here as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord!" Vanessa said yes, but her mood had sunk to the bottom.

Ethan didn't know if this arrangement would work, but he had done what he should do, and the rest could only be verified by time.

After arranging Lili, Ethan looked at Tibers again.

"Dear Tibers, what do you think about the next step?"

"Ah!" Tibers, who was chewing on a leg of lamb, was stunned when he heard this, and then pointed at his nose: "Me?

I will do whatever you arrange for me, Lord Ethan."

Hearing this, Ethan sighed slightly in his heart.

Some people just don't know how to seize opportunities, or even feel opportunities.

I asked you this because I gave you a chance to get promoted, but you didn't ask for anything.

You didn't even have the intention to fight for it.

Ethan was helpless, but Tibers was his old man and had to be taken care of.

So he said:

"I'll give you two choices. The first one is that you retire directly! I will give you gold coins and food every week.

In addition, I heard that your wife has passed away. I asked Angelina to be a matchmaker and help you marry another bride."

Speaking of this, Ethan paused and looked at Tibers.

Tibers' old face turned red, and he stammered and couldn't speak.

Ethan smiled and continued, "Second, I have a piece of land in Vilen Port, where a fishing industry will be developed, and a person in charge similar to Andreev is needed.

I hope that person is you.

Please choose one!"

When Tibers heard this, his face was immediately tangled. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Can I choose the second one, plus a young bride?"

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

...

As soon as this was said, everyone present laughed out loud.

Angelina laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, and she said breathlessly, "You have chosen the second one, are you still worried about not having a bride?

By then, a bunch of girls will chase you to marry you, just like Andreev."

Tibers was immediately refreshed and replied seriously, "Lord Ethan, I choose the second one."

Ethan nodded with satisfaction.

Now most of the candidates for the territory have been decided, leaving only the most important intelligence officer.

This person is more difficult to choose.

Because Ethan is going to send him to the imperial capital.

Since returning to Maro City, although he was busy with the development of the territory every day, Ethan never forgot the oath he made in front of Lucia's tombstone.

But dealing with Emile is not an easy task.

Ethan felt that he needed an opportunity.

An opportunity to overthrow the Sheffield family in a reasonable and legal way.

An opportunity like the Industrial Revolution overthrowing the old era.

This opportunity is crucial.

Only when the Sheffield family is weak and everyone is pushing it down, will Ethan officially take action.

Otherwise, Ethan would not have risked his own fortune to fight the other side.

Of course, this opportunity theory was not something Ethan came up with casually.

It has a basis.

Apart from other things, the royal family must be extremely disgusted with the Sheffield family for the right to mint coins.

And they dared to offend a great swordsman for a person who had nothing to do with them.

Judging from this arrogant attitude, they must have offended a lot of people.

And they obviously only have one great swordsman, but one person has to play two roles.

This bluffing approach itself shows that they themselves understand that there are wolves around.

All of this shows that they are not as strong as they actually look.

Ethan believes that as long as the Sheffield family shows weakness, and someone takes the lead in challenging them, then everyone will push down the wall.

The only question is when will their family become weak, and who will be the first to do it?

Ethan himself is definitely impossible to be the first to do it. He hopes that he will be just an accomplice like Sofia did in this joint ruling event.

At most, he could make a move at a critical moment.

Ever since he had this idea, Ethan had a vague feeling that this opportunity was coming.

Therefore, he needed an intelligence officer who could see through the situation and infiltrate the upper-class aristocratic circle as an outsider.

On the one hand, he could get information, and on the other hand, when the opportunity came, he could add fuel to the flames and lead out a leader.

For example, he could induce the royal family to go to war with the Sheffield family.

Of course, all this was just Ethan's best idea. What he could do now was to try his best to find such a person who could stir up the storm.

He would lie quietly like a tiger, tighten his claws, and wait patiently for this opportunity to come.
