Lord: I have a skill talent tree

As the explanation progressed, Ethan gradually saw some clues.

Sofia seems to have hired a professional team to take care of her affairs.

She didn't say a word during the whole process, and Papalia, who looked like Leonardo, spoke for her.

This made Ethan particularly envious.

Look at yourself, you are miserable every day, having to carry a sword to patrol.

Even because there is not enough firewood for heating, he has to carry a 40-meter-long machete on his back and brave the freezing weather to go to the woods to cut down dead trees every day.

Looking back at other people, if they want people, they can have money, and they can spend tens of thousands of dollars without even frowning.

As long as you drink coffee leisurely every day, someone will get things done.

This is the true meaning of being a lord. If you have anything to do, just make a decision and give an order, and a professional team will serve you.

Ethan silently made up his mind to form his own personal team in the future.

There must be people responsible for intelligence work, people responsible for financial work such as this, and people responsible for life...

Then, break things down, take responsibility for making the decision yourself, and let them take responsibility for execution.

Perfect!

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that Ethan didn't even hear what Papalia was saying behind him.

It wasn't until Papalia made a concluding speech, saying there was no problem, and signed the contract that Ethan came back to his senses.

At this time, Sabelli said: "I have no problem, but I want to ask Mr. Papalia, you said that the decoration will start now, but it is winter now!

If we start now, does it mean that labor costs will increase significantly.

And it’s not easy to work in winter! "

When Ethan heard this, he frowned and was very confused: Something in Saberi's brain was broken. If the cost increases, the cost will increase. It doesn't cost you any money, so what are you afraid of?

Although he thought so, Ethan finally didn't say it out loud, otherwise he would offend others.

Papalia smiled: "On the contrary, it is the most economical to start construction now.

I think Mr. Saberi may think that because people are reluctant to go out in winter, hiring someone at this time will increase the cost.

But the fact is that if Mr. Saberi had inquired, he would have known that when winter comes, a large number of people lose their jobs.

Many lords began to lay off people in large numbers after the autumn harvest, and there were no construction plans during the winter.

Therefore, even if you are a professional and skilled worker, you are still unemployed in large numbers.

Therefore, there is actually a large amount of labor in winter, and it is much cheaper than usual.

We only need to pay a small salary..."

"Okay!" Just as Papalia was explaining incessantly, Sofia interrupted him. At the same time, she looked at Sabelli helplessly and said slowly:

"My dear uncle, it's not what I want to say to you, but we just reached an agreement and you want to be lazy.

If you really don't want to run the boat in the winter and prepare the goods for next spring, I can leave this matter to others. "

When Ethan heard this, he understood why Saberi was concerned about the increase in costs. It turned out that he was not concerned about costs, but only about his own problems.

When Saberi heard the anger in Sophia's words, he waved his hands quickly: "It's definitely not that I want to be lazy, I'm just simply concerned about the cost issue.

Now that you, my dear niece, have said so, I have no problem. "

"What about Knight Ethan?" Sofia looked at Ethan and asked.

"No!"

"Okay!" Sofia pushed the documents on the table forward, and then said: "I have asked people to draft the tripartite documents. Since you are all ok, just sign and the plan will begin to be implemented!

To be honest, this matter has been delayed for so long that I almost lost interest.

By the way, Knight Ethan, if you are outside, just let your eagle press its talons!

It's an internal contract anyway, it doesn't matter whether I sign it or not.

If I'm not worried that you won't feel at ease and it's unclear when the family arbitration comes, I think we can just discuss it verbally. "

Ethan and Sabery smiled awkwardly, and then signed their names. For Ethan, to be precise, it was pressing his eagle claws.

After everything was completed, Papalia and Saberi left first.

At this time, Sophia put on a smile and said in a slightly teasing tone: "How is it? Knight Ethan, how do you feel when you see one of the most powerful people in the world with your own eyes?"

"There is no special feeling!" Ethan smiled: "However, the King of Knights beside him gave me a huge sense of oppression. For a moment, my whole body was shaking!"

"Haha!" Sofia covered her mouth and smiled: "It doesn't have to be like this, Knight Ethan, I believe you will also become a great swordsman in the future.

The days are still long, take your time! "

"Thank you for your kind words!"

"That's right!" Sofia said after taking a sip of coffee: "Did the Duke tell you anything?"

"Didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't even want to tell me who was behind the scenes." Ethan replied truthfully: "However, he gave me the Watcher's Oath Sword that the Elf Queen gave him. What does it mean?”

"Isn't this an obvious thing? Do you still need to ask?" Sophia raised her eyebrows and asked.

Ethan's face was immediately full of questions: "Where is it so obvious? Why can't I see it at all?"

After hearing this, Sophia covered her forehead and said, "I forgot that although you are good at solving problems, you only consider things from your own perspective and never think from others' perspective."

"What do you mean?" Ethan became more and more confused as he listened: "Explain it to me! My dear sister-in-law!"

Sofia was a little dumbfounded when she heard Ethan call her sister-in-law: "If you want to understand why the Duke handed the sword to you, you have to look at the problem from the Duke's perspective.

Before looking at the problem from the Duke's perspective, you must first understand what power is! "

"Please tell me directly!" Ethan really didn't understand why sending a broken sword had anything to do with power?

"Aren't I answering for you?" Sofia said seriously: "But before you answer, you have to answer me first. What is power in your eyes?"

"Power is wealth?" Ethan replied casually in order to let Sophia continue.

When Sophia heard this, her face was full of helplessness, but she still patiently replied: "Power is a special kind of influence between people. It is the ability of some people to have the desired and predetermined influence on others.

On the surface, it's top-down.

But in fact, it is bottom-up.

In other words, only when others support you can you exert influence on others and achieve your expectations.

The same thing applies to the Duke.

Although he is a Duke, he still needs the support of others before he can give orders.

This attack shows that there is something wrong within them, and this force may not be small, or cannot be dealt with.

Therefore, from the Duke's perspective, if he wants to protect you and the material supply line, then he must make it clear and express his attitude to his internal forces.

In this regard, I think there is no better way to show his attitude than to transfer such an important sword to you! "
