Transcendent Noble

Victor’s caravan has embarked on its way home. Compared with the time when it came, 30 vehicles full of cargo have joined his caravan. These are the supplies that the York family temporarily credited to Victor. When they return to the Black Fort, they need to pull thirty carts full of purple cane wine in return.

Barol sat awkwardly in the spacious carriage. It’s been an hour since fief lord called him to the carriage, but he didn’t say a word. The maid played with a dagger, looking at him warily and curiously, with a hint of malice.

The lord did not speak, and Barol did not dare to speak. Out of professionalism, he was still observing some details silently. The floor of the carriage was covered with wool-blend carpets, which were very new and clean. Although they were valuable, they were not expensive. The nobles used this kind of carpets. It's a bit shabby, and the nobles with the background should spread a whole bear skin.

Also, this four-wheel carriage is also quirky. The carriage of the carriage is a solid oak carriage, but the exterior of the carriage is not wrapped in copper, and there is no ornate carving. The base of the carriage is a structure that Barol has never seen before. The wheels are small in front and large at the back. They are also covered with a lizard skin. Barol has been sitting in the carriage for an hour without any noticeable bumps.

The carriage is surrounded by more than a dozen cavalrymen. These cavalrymen can be called savvy, but their actions are like mercenaries. Their weapons and shields are always placed in the most convenient place, and they At the age of about forty, Barol is very sure that they are all mercenary guards.

The most important thing is that there is no Knight in the convoy, and very few lords travel without Knight. This is not only unsafe, but also very shameless.

Undecorated carriage, mercenary escort, no Knight companions, according to Barol’s experience, the owner of this convoy is more like a merchant than a nobleman, but Barol knows this is an illusion. The young fief lord in front of him is not only noble but also rich in bloodline. Because he is Baron from Wimbledon's family.

As a spy, Barol knows that the surname Wimbledon has a long history and can be traced back thousands of years. Although the family has already fallen apart, there is no doubt about their heritage. Otherwise, what about the young Lord Baron? Will there be dead men working for it? And this dead man is obediently and honestly rushing to carry Baron.

Two days ago, when the coachman was about to behead Paladin without the slightest hesitation, Barol understood that his opportunity had come. He knew that only dead men would not care about Paladin's identity. This also illustrates three problems. First, he is valuable to this nobleman. Second, this nobleman has no manpower, otherwise he would not send dead men to catch a nobody like him. Third, this nobleman has a lot of background. Only the Great Family can cultivate the dead man, an inhuman creature, and the dead man who is comparable to the trainee Knight, Barol has never heard of it, but he has already seen it.

. Baron Victor has no manpower, but has deep and unmeasurable background. It is an excellent candidate worthy of Baron.

Barol is determined to show his worth. In his opinion, Lord Baron left him for an hour to test his patience, so he sat there obediently and honestly, motionless and patient. It is an important quality of the family dark child.

People who want to climb will always speculate on the ideas of the superiors, but this is just speculation. Victor didn't pay attention to Barol because he was still sorting out the gains and losses of his trip to the Black Fort.

In this trip to the Black Fort, Victor’s goal was basically achieved. Forming an interest alliance with the York family and maintaining the independence of the territory were all reflected in the franchise agreement and notarized before the gods.

It is stated in the franchise agreement that the purple cane wine led by Victor will be sold to the York family at a price of 18 copper sol a liter, equivalent to 9 copper sol, the price will not change for 30 years. The York family opened up food supply to Victor, but the price needed to be traded at market prices.

Victor protested this. He asked the York family to keep the price of 3 copper sol per pound of barley unchanged for 30 years, but he was firmly rejected by Sylvia. There are two reasons for Sylvia. First, Victor's population will increase. Second, Victor's wife is controlling the price of food in Gambis Kingdom. Victor can buy cheap food from Sophia.

Victor has nothing to say. It is obvious that Sylvia prefers Victor to buy food from other lords. Anyway, the purple cane wine has been controlled by her. She was kind enough to be able to sell food openly to Victor.

Then there is the fast bird. Victor needs to provide the York family with two pairs of chicks for free every year for 8 years. The York family will purchase purple cane leaves from Victor at a price of 1 copper wire and three pounds for use. Feed these big birds for 30 years.

Victor is very angry, not because of the greed of his opponent, but because of the deep penetration of the York family.

The York family proposed to ask for the chicks directly because the adult Swiftbirds have a bad temper and will turn their heads and peck the rider if they feel uncomfortable. This is fatal to ordinary cavalry. If you want to tame the Swiftbird, you must start with the nestling. Only in this way will the Swiftbird obey the owner's words. This is the knowledge taught by Buso. Not many people know it, but the York family knows this very well. Victor can imagine that within eight years, the York family will have a flock of Swiftbirds.

Finally, Sylvia said that the York family would not interfere in the coffee business, and Victor agreed to this unequal clause.

The York family gave up the coffee business. Victor was puzzled. He didn't understand why the York family was soft on coffee, so he asked Sylvia, but the beautiful and alluring Mrs. count smiled. Without saying a word, he hooked him onto the bed with only a pair of bright and intelligent eyes.

In general, this agreement is a very unfair supply and marketing agreement. The York family did not even make it clear that it would protect the fragile Victor collar.

But Victor knows that unequal agreements are due to unequal power. As long as the York family does not have its own purple cane resources, it will always protect Victor's collar. If there is a purple cane coveted by Victor that is stronger than the York family's Great Influence, it will be useless even if the protection clause is indicated in the agreement.

But Victor doesn't care. What he really wants to rely on is sucrose. From another perspective, this agreement is more beneficial to him. Just as he didn't expect purple cane wine to have strategic value, Sylvia didn't expect Victor to have this thing about cane sugar. Now that the value of purple cane wine surpasses cane sugar, he has already given it away, but cane sugar has been kept.

"No one can count on an all-out plan." Victor exclaimed.

"My lord, what do you mean?" Lilia asked happily when Victor finally spoke.

"It's nothing, just talk casually." Victor said with a smile, he had no intention of explaining.

Although Lilia is exceptionally intelligent and learns things very quickly, it takes some time to become his assistant. Thinking of this, Victor turned his gaze to Barol on the opposite side.

"You are the leader of the hyena who plot against me?"

"My lord, I am compelled by circumstances. I can't resist the sheriff's order. Please forgive me." Bar Rohr explained, wiping the cold sweat from his head.

"Don’t pretend, you simply don’t have any sweat on your head. When you first got on the carriage, you carefully looked at the base and the wheels of the carriage. You look apprehensive, but your heartbeat is very stable, and you have observed the situation in the car very concealedly. Am I right?" Victor sneered. Within two meters, Barol couldn't hide everything from him.

Barol turned pale, and said in a astringent voice: "The Velpin housekeeper preached that the Lord has not awakened the Knight innate talent, but he didn't expect that Lord is a Knight."

"Said Tell me your true identity." Victor was proud, but he looked peaceful.

Barol wiped the cold sweat from his head again, this time it was really cold sweat.

"Lord Baron, I am an undercover agent trained by the Gris family since I was a child. I used to work for Duke Gris. Later, when the Duke was hanged, I fled to Black Castle Town and became a hyena boss."

"Why did you take the initiative to follow my men back?" Barol not only stopped a big trouble, but also took the initiative to cooperate with Shaker. This is the most curious thing about Victor.

Barol raised his head and glanced at Victor, then lowered his head and said: "I think adults may use me, and I also want to eat under the hands of adults."

Since Victor didn't mention Paladin and the dead man, Barol would not take the initiative to bring it up.

Victor faintly smiled, he said: "When I was young, I saw a gopher hole. I was curious about what the gopher looked like, so I asked the servant to fill it with water. , I ordered the servant to trample the gopher to death again. Lilia, do you think the gopher thinks I need it?"

Lilia blinked, she didn't understand Victor's meaning, so be honest He said: "My lord, I usually let Old Ham bake it."

Victor suddenly got a black line.

Fortunately, Barol is still knowledgeable and interesting, he said solemnly: "My lord, that's because you found that the mole is useless to you."

"Useful? That's how you are. If you teach monkeys, you also teach monkeys to admit their fate. The irony is that you are running for your life."

Barol forced a smile and said: "My lord, that's just a means to train your subordinates. It's human. They are afraid of death, and the spy is also a human being. They will surrender in the face of torture. They will only commit suicide when there is no way to survive, so that they will suffer less."

"They are quite sincere." Victor nodded.

Barol is telling Victor vaguely that he has no effect on Gris's family. He only thinks of Victor's service. If he talked about loyalty and fearless with Victor, it would be courting death.

Victor's biggest hidden danger now is the murderer hiding in the dark. He has no idea who the murderer is or why the murderer wants to kill him. But if you can use the wizard as a killer, the power of this killer must be amazing.

From the current situation, Marquis Sophia is the most suspicious, but the probability is small. Therefore, Victor asked Sylvia side by side whether Sophia asked her to take care of herself. Sylvia avoided talking about it. She just told Victor not to have illusions about Sophia. Obviously, Mrs. Count wanted Victor to give up Sophia and join the York family. In the camp, but she must have no idea about Victor's assassination, otherwise she will definitely use it to make Victor obedient.

From some details, Victor prefers that Sophia is trying to protect Baron, spending a lot of money to arrange for him to take refuge in Centaur Hills.

If the facts are as Victor guessed, this must be the worst result.

Victor doesn't know how powerful Sophia is, but she is definitely not bottomed out. She is too rich. In my memory, there are four Knights known to Victor in the Marquis's mansion, and all of these four knights are resident in the Marquis's mansion. There are also four Chamber of Commerce under Sophia's name. They trade between countries all the year round, and the caravans engaged in trade are also protected by Knight. If Sophia can't protect Baron, how powerful is this murderer?

However, Sophia sent Little Baron to Centaur Hills, indicating that she thought she would be safe as long as she let Little Baron leave her side. Not sending Knight to protect Little Baron would be more like an exile. This gesture is very It may be made for the murderer. At the same time, she secretly asked Sylvia to take care of her little male pet, but she didn't tell Sylvia the truth. It must be a big trouble for her to offend a force that she can't afford.

Victor is very anxious. He carefully sorted out all his memories with X-3, but he didn't find out who had offended Baron? Or did you find any secrets? It is only certain that Sophia must know everything, and Victor will be finished if he returns to marquess.

No matter who you are, as long as I find out, I will let you die! Victor made up his mind secretly.

Baroel was scared to death by Victor's icy eyes. He didn't know if he had said the wrong thing. At this time, the cold sweat was really swishing.

"Barol, tell me, how did the family secret son cultivated?" Victor calmed his mind and asked the old spy.

"My lord, Anzi does not need to be nurtured, only investment is needed. They may be a villain, a cleaner, or a businessman. Most Anzi don’t know that they are Anzi. We invest in them. Establishing relationships with them and observing their actions can give you a lot of information. For example, a horseman driving a carriage for the nobleman can know the law of the nobleman's activities by observing his life pattern." Barol said cautiously.

"Didn't you grow up since you were a kid?" Victor was a little surprised. Didn't expect Anzi to be an ordinary person.

"My lord, the spy is cultivated by the family since childhood. The spy is more like a spider, constantly weaving webs. Anzi is our web, and intelligence is our prey."

"Every spy has his own field, secret spies who are good at doing business. Most of his nets are merchants and peddlers. He analyzes information from transactions. Like I was trained as a villain since I was a child, I am good at messing with hyenas, those villains. , Oriole, and Little Boss may unconsciously become my dark child."

"Do you still have a net now?" Victor asked curiously.

"My lord, the identity of the spy is changeable. If one identity is exposed, the Internet is gone. So the spy is proficient in makeup and finding a substitute. This time I suspended myself from death, that is, I found a figure on the way to the migration. A freedman who is about my age, I secretly observe his movements, features on his body, imitate his voice, and make my appearance similar to him with little by little makeup. Finally, I lead the person who is chasing me. When he arrived at his residence, he became my surrogate."

"You are really mean!" Lilia yelled angrily.

Barol did not excuse, but smiled bitterly. He was trained in this way since he was a child.

"It's really mean." Victor patted the girl's shoulder to show that he and her are standing in a trench, but he must also train these mean spies.

"Barol, give you a chance to prove your worth." Victor continued: "There are other clans or secret agents among my people. I want you to dig them out. Can it be done?"

Barol whispered: "My lord, you want soldiers to fight and you need to give them weapons. You want farmers to cultivate land and you need to give them farm tools."

"What do you need?" Victor asked impatiently.

"I need time." Barol bit clenching one's teeth and said. He wanted more manpower, but he didn't dare to mention it. He wanted to prove his worth.

"How long does it take?" Victor wouldn't let him be sloppy.

"My lord, I don’t know the specific situation yet, but you can rest assured that I will be able to find out that the spy’s collection of intelligence will not be exposed, but as long as the intelligence is transmitted to the outside world, a weak spot will definitely be exposed. I am very Familiar with various methods of transmitting information." Barol quickly assured.

"I look forward to your performance, and the results I find out, just tell me secretly. You can go out now."

When Barol walked out of the carriage, Lilia asked Victor Said: "Victor, can this guy be trusted?"

"Can't be trusted, but I want to take out all his methods."
