Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 86 Bargaining
Credit... account?

Hearing this unexpected word, Karen Lepage's pretty face first turned from white to blue, then from iron blue, to a fiery, furious red.

"Mr. Igor!" The female village owner slapped the armrest of the top chair fiercely, glared at her beautiful eyes, and shouted sternly, "Are you entertaining the old lady?!"

When they saw Karenzhai taking the initiative to be angry, the bandits in the hall also looked at the four Igor family members angrily. There were also a few bandits who couldn't hold back their breath. The swords in between are drawn out;

Almost at the same time, Alice Comstock and Juan Clement also reacted quickly, the scabbard sword, the ruthless blade edge of "Light of the Sky", and the sword ridge of the great sword. The death rune that was soaked with the smell of blood immediately flashed in the dimly lit main hall of the Moon God Fortress!
Only Alan Cousins, who was familiar with both sides and just wanted to bring things together peacefully, saw that the two sides were about to face each other, hurriedly took two steps forward, and stretched his arms to block between Karen and Xia Houyan. , imploringly:

"Don't, don't, everyone has something to say, don't get angry..."

"Master Cousins, this account of your escape, the old lady has not yet settled with your lord!" Karen scolded mercilessly, "Mr. Igor, please remember it well for me. The knight commander is also a prisoner of our Moon God Village, and if he wants to take others away, he must first make up for his five hundred gold coins!"

"Wait, wait!" Clement, who was holding a giant sword in front of the Lord Lord, suddenly said in surprise, "Is Knight Commander Cousins ​​also worth five hundred gold coins? Then we will return him to you Luna. If Zhai continues to be a prisoner, can he be exchanged for dozens of civilians?"

"What the hell do you mean by canned food!" Cousins ​​turned his head and cursed in exasperation.

In the chaos, only Xia Houyan kept a calm smile.He raised his palms to stop the infighting between the two imperial knights, looked firmly at the female village master, and said slowly but clearly:

"Master Karen, please believe that I have no intention of entertaining you."

The female village owner reclined on the chair and snorted coldly, but her expression did not change.

But there were already a few thoughtful thieves, who felt that they should not be able to fight, and quietly retracted the dazzling weapons in their hands.

"Look, Lord Karen, my Igor family has just arrived in the wasteland, and on the way of migration, we have encountered difficulties and dangers that you will never and never imagine." Xia Houyan continued, Completely ignoring Karen Lepage's disdainful expression, "The fact is that the current Frost Maple Ridge absolutely cannot and will not pay the captive's ransom."

Karen Lepage glared angrily at Lord Lord, gritted his teeth and said:
"Then you, since you don't have money, what the hell do you have to say?!"

Xia Houyan smiled and said:

"The reason why I'm still talking to you, Zhaizhu Karen, is because I believe in your reason - all the signs in this stockade show that you, Zhaizhu Karen, you are not an illiterate and cruel person. The stupid thief who is bloodthirsty. So, I still hope that today, you can rely on your own reason and choose to return the captives of the Igor family to me for free - in the future, I promise in the honor of my noble, I will Pay you the ransom at the right rate; or, if you're wiser, you can consider it an investment."

Hearing Xia Houyan's compliment to him, Karen, whose expression changed slightly at first, seemed to be a little interested, but when she heard this, her face completely turned into indifference.She sneered:
"Mr. Igor, I ask you to pay attention, we are not bargaining at the market in Sanshuiwan, we are seeking a lifeline in the place where the soul is devoured and devoured! It's still a 'future', Still 'interest rate'? Maybe five years from now, you and I will have already become two corpses on the wasteland! Mr. Igor, may I ask you to be with us who have died in the near future, and have long regarded yourself as dead Are the people of Yueshen Village talking about 'investment'? All we want is the real money that we can see, touch, buy wine and meat immediately, and spend on the belly of prostitutes in Huafang Town!"

Xia Houyan tilted his head slightly and listened to Karen with great interest before slowly shaking his head:
"No, Zhaizhu Karen, when I say 'investment', I don't just mean money."

"Oh?" Karen raised her eyebrows with a cold face, and hooked her fingers around the neckline of her vest to loosen it - she was obviously already burning with anger, and her whole body was boiling.

It's a pity that this action would have been more attractive if her breasts were a little more plump.

"Look, Lord Karen." Xia Houyan smiled, "I, Elliot Igor, are the only noble lord who was entrusted by the Empire to this land of split souls. In name, I have jurisdiction over everything in this wasteland, and you are my legal subjects."

Karen Lepage sneered and shook her head. She looked at Xia Houyan with a look of disappointment, as if she was saying, "I think you can spit out ivory from your dog's mouth..."

The performance of the female village owner was quite reserved. The bandits in the hall had already clapped their thighs and laughed loudly. Looking at the too young black-haired lord, they also brought strong contempt and ridicule.

The reason is very simple: the lord's speech is too naive!

——In this land of split souls, even a three-year-old child would not be stupid enough to use the words of empire, aristocracy, and feudalism to talk about things!Everyone knows that on the wasteland that obeys Darwin's laws, the decisive rules are only strong or weak, survival or death!
If there is any "master" in this wasteland, it will not be any noble lord, not even the robber of a certain cottage, the head of a mercenary group, or those wasteland aliens and powerful monsters!
Grim Reaper, only Grim Reaper!
Only the shadow of death that hangs over all the inhabitants of the wasteland at all times is the master of this land. Only the god of death who harvests the souls of the living with a sickle can determine the desolate fate of everyone in the land of split souls!
——It’s a pity that they don’t know that there is a certain civil servant named Yan from Earth who is performing the duties of the god of death…

Listening to the jeers around him, Xia Houyan still kept an elegant noble smile and did not speak.

His overly calm gaze, and his unfathomable calmness in the midst of the noise, made the female village owner in the top seat suddenly feel nervous and irritable for no reason.

She gritted her teeth and raised a jade hand to stop the bandits from laughing.

"Mr. Igor, please understand that your poor noble title is not worth more than a piece of shit in this wasteland!" Karen Lepage proudly looked down at the black-haired lord and sneered, "But Maybe, this piece of shit can still sell for a few cents after all - well, let me take a step back: if you, as a person in the noble circle, can find a way to get me a noble title recognized by the empire, Then we can negotiate the price of these prisoners."

Alice and Clement were both stunned: Why does this thief female village owner want the imperial title of nobility?
As for the active-minded Cousins, he said bluntly:

"That's not easy, as long as you marry the master of Karen..."

The terrifying, angry gaze from Karen's eyes immediately forced the knight commander to shut his mouth.

"Your proposal is very interesting. The lord of Karen Village - exchanging the title of aristocrat for prisoners is probably an innovation in the trading model that has never appeared in the history of the empire." Xia Houyan stared at Nu Village thoughtfully. The Lord looked at it, shook his head and smiled, "However, I refuse."
