Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

"Wha...what?"

Angelo's eyes widened in disbelief.

Just now, the Earl of Kent returned to the banquet and announced that he would suspend his crusade against the Grayman family and let his vassals return to their territories.

In order to arouse the dislike of Graiman among everyone present, he had tried so hard just now, but now that the Count was here, he suddenly felt like he had become a clown.

"Why? Lord Earl, didn't you promise me? You can't keep your word!"

He "questioned" the Earl of Kent somewhat angrily.

"How presumptuous! Guard, get him out!" The Earl of Kent glared at Angelo, and immediately a guard came over and dragged Angelo out.

"Let me go! Let me go! Lord Earl, we have reached an agreement..."

Angelo still kept yelling loudly when he was dragged out, but everyone in the hall gradually couldn't hear his voice.

The Earl of Kent said to the vassals and knights in the hall: "I know everyone is confused, but I was persuaded by an old friend just now. He said that going to war is never a good thing. The most important thing is to convince people with reason, so I Decided to give Count Grayman another chance."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other without saying a word.

Of course the Earl of Kent knew what they were thinking, and immediately said: "However, we can't let everyone's hard work come here in vain, so I announce that the viscount and baron will each be rewarded with 2,000 silver coins, and the knights will be rewarded with 1,000 silver coins each. "

"Ouch!" Everyone in the hall exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Majesty the Earl is really a kind man!" "I think the Grayman family will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty the Earl."

Compliments like this kept coming.

The Earl of Kent laughed heartily. Although he liked to amass wealth, he also knew how to win people's hearts. He would not be stingy when it came time to spend money on it, otherwise he would not be able to become the number two figure in the Northwest Gulf after Duke Ferdinand.

What's more, these vassals will be used soon. When he and his teacher get into trouble, it won't be possible without their effectiveness.

At this time, the Earl of Kent was very high-spirited in front of his vassals, which was completely different from his low-brow look in front of Barnett just now.

In his opinion, the position of duke and the power of wizard are already within his reach.

Only two people were still in a puzzling state. They were the Earl of Kent's son Jais and his distant nephew Emerson. However, under the hint of the Earl of Kent, they did not ask questions immediately.

The banquet continued, and all the vassals clinked glasses one after another. After drinking to their hearts content, they helped each other and dispersed.

When there were no outsiders in the hall, Jais and Emerson approached the Earl of Kent.

Jais couldn't wait to ask: "Father, what happened?"

The earl seemed to be in a very happy mood. He had drunk a lot of wine at the banquet just now. He was already a little drunk at this time, and his pale face was actually a little red.

He glanced at the two young men, seeming to be thinking.

After a while, he spoke: "That's all, there are some things I should let you know."

Earl of Kent led the two people to his study.

He whispered: "I plan to seek the title of Duke of the Northwest."

The two were shocked. What happened to the Earl of Kent? Has he lost his mind and gone crazy?

The earl smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not crazy. Lord Ferdinand will willingly pass on the title to me."

Jais and Emerson looked at each other, and they saw each other's doubts: "Is this possible?"

The Earl of Kent said confidently: "As for why, I can't tell you now, but you will know when the time comes."

He stared at Emerson and asked: "Little Emerson, as the royal commissioner, are you willing to support our Kent family?"

Emerson immediately replied: "If Mr. Ferdinand is really willing, I will naturally support him with both hands."

The earl patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's good. I will not forget your Wilder family when the time comes."

Then he seemed to remember something, and said: "I got the exact news from the old friend I just mentioned. The royal family is in danger this time. You should send a message to your father immediately and advise him to make plans early."

Emerson was a little surprised, but still said: "Thank you, Uncle Kent, for reminding me. I will remind my father right away."

But he immediately turned around and asked: "But why did you let Grayman go? This seems to have nothing to do with your obtaining the title of Duke, right? He has humiliated you so nakedly."

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!

Thinking of the humiliation he suffered that day in Lake Town, Emerson was filled with hatred. The whole room shouted at him to get out. No one had ever treated him like this in his life.

The Earl of Kent put on a "serious" expression and said to him: "Little Emerson, if you can't tolerate small things, it will affect the realization of long-term goals. I don't want to cause more trouble before I obtain the title of Duke. Although I have 100% confidence in my own strength, I must eliminate any possibility of accidents. But after I obtain the title, if Graiman still has no vision, he will not be as lucky as this time."

He sneered: "Humph! The days are still long."

Emerson lost no time in flattering him: "Uncle Kent is really far-sighted."

Jais and Emerson chatted with Earl Kent in the study for a while, and then left.

After the door closed, a figure flashed from behind the bookshelf. It was Barnett.

Earl Kent immediately asked: "Teacher, what do you think of Emerson?"

Barnett nodded: "No problem. According to the results of my detection, he has no other thoughts except some doubts about your words, and he also has great expectations for you to get the title of Duke."

Earl Kent was relieved. If Teacher Barnett found out that Emerson had any bad thoughts about him, he could only let this young man have an "accident".

He said: "I am definitely looking forward to it. The Wilde family and the Kent family have been friends for generations. If I can get the title of Duke, it will be of great benefit to their family. The Wilde family is very powerful in the capital. If we can make good use of them, it will be very helpful to our plan."

Barnett reminded him: "It is better to be cautious. After all, people's hearts are the most unpredictable in this world."

The Earl nodded: "Yes, teacher, I will be careful."

Barnett said again: "I have some things to do and I have to leave for a while, but I will still be active in the northwest. Before I come back, you should think about how to get rid of Duke Ferdinand's guards so that I can get close to him."

The Earl of Kent touched his chest with his hand: "Please rest assured, teacher, I will definitely find a way."
