dong dong dong.

Steward Emon knocked on the oak door in front of him and reported: "Master, Master Count Morrison, please see me."

"Please come in." Colin's voice passed from inside the door. Come.

"Yes." Emon pushed open the door, bowed to Count Morrison, and motioned, "Master Count, please."

Count Morrison smiled slightly at Emon, then raised his head. Stand tall and walk into the study.

"Your Excellency Count Morrison, welcome to the Red Fort!" Colin greeted him with a smile and shook hands cordially with Count Morrison.

"Your Excellency, Viscount Anglia, thank you for your hospitality, and hope that my visit will not cause you too much trouble."

This Count Morrison looks less than twenty years old. Colin is still younger. Although he tried to pretend to be mature and sophisticated, he also deliberately grows a beard, but he still inevitably shows obvious tenderness between his gestures.

"Of course there is no trouble. It is my honour for you to visit Ice Rock City. And for the loyal old Count, I have always admired it!"

Colin said The old Count is the previous Count Morrison and the grandfather of the youngster in front of him.

This old Count was stabbed to death by Kane Sudor Knight at the Lords Conference six months ago. Colin was also on the scene and witnessed the hard-working old Count alone yelling at everyone to prepare The scene of the rebellious lord.

After the death of old Count, the reason why the Morrison family allowed such a youngster to inherit the position of Count was really helpless.

The Morrison family is not prosperous, and the old Count has only one son, but this son was seriously injured in a war many years ago, almost completely paralyzed.

Such a person who can't take care of himself must not inherit the title of the Morrison family, so the eldest grandson of the old Count, who is only 18 years old, Seiken Morrison, inherits the title of Count. .

"Thank you for your thoughts and praise. If grandfather knows that his sacrifice can be recognized so much, he will definitely rest in heaven!"

After some greetings, Colin invited Count Morrison took his seat and asked the maid to serve coffee and desserts.

"Your Excellency Count, I don’t know why you came from afar?"

Count Morrison put down the coffee in his hand and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, I took the liberty to Come, I hope to get your help."

"Oh? Please say, if I can do my best, I will not be stingy." Colin smiled, already guessing what Count Morrison came from.

In fact, after the Winter Veil Festival, several northern lords have come to the door, wanting to buy a batch of food from Colin for emergency relief.

This time Count Morrison is considered the highest rank among them.

And his next words really confirmed Colin's guess: "I heard that your Excellency, Viscount, you bought a large amount of grain in Silver Moon City. I wonder if you can sell some to the Morrison family?"

"Of course."

Colin's boldness surprised Count Morrison, and he loudly said excitedly: "Really? Thank you so much! Your Excellency, the kindness of the Anglia family, Morrison The family will always remember it!"

"However, your Excellency Count, you must be aware of the price of food in the north now... I am afraid that this batch of food will not be cheap."

Count Morrison suffocated slightly, but then nodded and said: "You can rest assured that the Morrison family will not let your friends suffer. We will buy this batch of food from you at the market price."

, Colin couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

How could he suffer?

With Colin’s status in Silver Moon City, the local half-elf merchants certainly did not dare to increase the price of their grains. They were all sold to Colin at the normal season’s grain prices, and when the grains were shipped to the north Later, the price soared more than ten times directly, and Colin can be said to be making a lot of money.

The previous lords who came to buy food understood some things and tried to bargain, but the young Count Morrison in front of him stupidly agreed without even discussing the price.

He seems to be an honest man again.

Colin looked at Count Morrison and smiled more brilliantly: "Your Excellency Count, there is one more thing I need to explain to you in advance."

"Please tell me."

"Presumably you also know that over the period of time, too many people have come to Ice Rock City to buy food. My food is shipped from Silver Moon City. I am afraid that the supply speed may not be able to keep up. Come on.

So, I’m afraid you can’t deliver all the grain you bought at one time.”

Count Morrison frowned and asked: “Then when will we receive all the grain? "

"This...it depends on the delivery speed of Silver Moon City. However, I can assure you that the Morrison family will definitely get priority delivery!"

"Okay, thank you so much." Count Morrison smiled now.

Unfortunately, this young Count didn't realize that Colin didn't actually give any promises. What can a so-called "priority right" guarantee.

Colin didn't deliberately bully this Count Morrison, he offered this installment condition to all the lord who came to buy food.

With this condition, Colin can control the food supply of these families to a certain extent, thereby further affecting their position in the upcoming chaos in the North.

Of course, the grain will be delivered in installments, but the money must be paid in one lump sum.

The Anglia family does not accept credit!

In the Northland now, food is in short supply. Even if the conditions on Colin are no matter how harsh, the lords can only pinch their noses.

Count Morrison didn't seem to realize Colin's hidden motives at all, so he thanked him and left.

Looking at his happy appearance, a trace of guilt flashed through Colin's heart, but it only lasted less than a second and disappeared.

Not long after, Steward Emon knocked on the door again: "Master, there is another guest in Ice Rock City."

"Which messenger is this time?"

Emon shook the head: "Master, this time the guest is from the north."

"North?" Colin was stunned. Ice Rock City is already north. The northernmost part of the realm, and further north--

That's the Celestial Ice Field!

"Troll messenger?"

"No, it's the messenger of the Golden Lion Legion stationed on the icy field."

Colin's brow furrowed tighter. "Golden Lion Legion? Are you sure he asked to see me?"

In Colin's view, how could the messenger of Golden Lion Legion go to Winter City? Why did he come to him?

Emon lowered his voice and explained: "Master, the one who wants to see you is the entourage of the emissary of Golden Lion Legion. His name is Charles Saint Hild."

"Charles ?" Colin suddenly stood up from his seat in surprise.

He remembered that the first wife's eldest son of Duke Saint Hild, the former Marquis of the North, was sent to the northern front by his father and asked him to--

" If you don’t break through the Troll King City in one day, you will not be able to return to the north in one day.”

Didn't expect that he sneaked back at this time.

No wonder he dared not go to Winter City, but went to Ice Rock City.

Colin walked back and forth in the study a few times, his brows curled up.

It took a long time to ask: "No one recognizes him, right?"

"No, sir. Charles did a disguise, and appeared in Ice Rock as an envoy. In the City."

"Okay, bring him to see me."
