Warlords: Rise From the Land of Doom

After coming to the Holy Continent, due to age and physical reasons.

Natasha's grandfather, Frank Sr., no longer has the energy to manage the family.

In this way, everything has long been handed over to Natasha's father Puersi.

But even so.

Old Frank's words are still very useful.

Following his appearance, all members of the Frank family immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Father, sit this way!" Puersi got up and gave up his seat.

"I won't be the host, I'm just here to hear how you negotiate!" Old Frank waved his hand.

"Father, I know I was wrong!"

At this time, Steele, who had spoken earlier, also immediately admitted his mistake.

"Well, it's good to know you're wrong!"

"You all must understand that the current Baron Nalante has become famous throughout the Holy Continent, and is the great backer of all our glorious mainland nobles."

"As for our Frank family, compared to other nobles in the past, except for being able to do business, there is nothing that can compare to them."

"The reason why I can be so stable now and not be coveted by those principalities in the Holy Continent is all because of Natasha, and even more so because of Baron Nalante."

"So, no matter what from now on, all members of our Frank family must hold Baron Narant in awe!"

"Besides, it's not easy for Natasha, and we can't really use her as a bargaining chip. Do you understand?"

"Understood, father (grandfather)!"

There was a unified response from the field again.

"Well, since that's the case, let's start discussing!" Old Frank nodded and didn't speak again.

Afterwards, members of the Frank family had a brief discussion, and the results were quickly reached.

That is to build according to the standard baron castle.

Although it is true that the baron's castle is a bit smaller, more money can be left over to buy serfs and build villages and towns.

This is the most basic existence of a noble lord family.

"Father, is there any problem with our decision?"

After the results of the discussion came out, Puersi still looked at old Frank.

"Well, now this is the only choice that suits us best!"

Old Frank nodded.

"Then I'll get someone to bring over the steward of the principality's caravan." Purse nodded.

Immediately, the steward of the principality was quickly called over.

The name of the principality manager is Matthew, who comes from the Principality of Kandar.

Although the Principality of Kandar is not well-known, it is also one of the top ten principalities in the Holy Continent.

Because it is very close to the Black Rock Plain.

In this way, the Duchy of Kandar has created a special kind of business in recent years.

That is to help the little nobles in the Black Rock Plain to build castles.

The cost of a viscount castle is actually not high, only less than 300,000 gold coins.

Among them is the cost of transporting materials and materials, as for labor costs.

The last thing the Holy Continent lacked was cheap serfs.

In this way, as long as the serfs are fed and given some cheap wages, they will work hard.

This time, they were introduced by a regular customer and came to a territory near Stormwind City.

At this moment, it seems that the few foreign nobles in this territory have finally negotiated.

"Earl Purse, right? I wonder what kind of castle you plan to build this time?"

In Matthew's view, the other party can actually have the title of Earl.

Even if the gold coins for building the earl's castle cannot be taken out, the viscount's castle can still be built.

And this time, I am afraid that I can earn more than 400,000 gold coins.

After returning to the Principality, he will definitely be praised by His Majesty the King.

By the way, after the contract is completed, I might be able to go to Stormwind City not far away.

I heard that the food there is as irresistible as the wine.

Speaking of which, the Frank family is really lucky.

Although located in the most remote area of ​​the Black Rock Plain.

But it is close to Stormwind City.

It only takes about a day's journey to get there.

Maybe if you are lucky, you can still make some money from the caravans in Stormwind City in the future.

"Your Excellency Matthew, we have already negotiated, and we are going to build a standard baronial castle..."

"The Viscount's castle, right? The price... what, a standard Baron's castle? Are you sure?"

Matthew didn't reflect it at first.

But after he reflected, he looked at Earl Puirce in disbelief.

"Your Excellency, we are indeed!" Although Puersi felt his face was hot, he still nodded seriously.

"Your Excellency, your territory is at least the size of a Viscount's territory!" Matthew was a little unwilling.

Originally thought that he could earn 400,000 gold coins.

But now there are only 150,000 gold coins at most.

"Your Excellency Matthew, we have confirmed it!"

"Okay then, let's sign a contract!" Matthew shook his head.

Then he took out a contract.

This is the contract for the construction of the baronial castle.

It's just that Puersi frowned immediately after taking it over and looking at it.

"Your Excellency Matthew, why didn't the moat and drawbridge be included in the contract for the construction of the baron's castle?"

"Oh, Your Excellency Puerth, there is no moat in this baron's castle, because it doesn't need to occupy much area. In fact, it is usually built on a small hill!"

"But Matthew, our Barony of Frank has no hills that meet the requirements because of its flat terrain, so we can only build on flat land!" Purse frowned.

If the castle built on this flat ground didn't have a moat, the defensiveness would be less than half.

"Your Excellency Puerth, we can actually help you build the moat, but it will cost extra!" Matthew didn't panic when he heard the words, and immediately gave an answer.

"Then how many gold coins will be added to the suspension bridge and the moat?"

"About 20,000 gold coins!" Matthew replied.

"So expensive?" Puersi frowned immediately.

Twenty thousand gold coins, not two thousand gold coins.

"Your Excellency Puerth, the minimum standard for a moat is 20 meters wide, and a suspension bridge will be built at that time. The price is actually not too expensive!"

"And our Darkan Principality is also the most honest when doing business. After signing the contract, we will definitely help you complete it according to the contract to ensure the quality."

"In addition, we haven't signed a contract yet. If you feel that the price is not satisfactory, you can think about it again!"

Matthew is sure of this little foreign nobleman.

If the other party built a viscount castle, then he would definitely not use this contract.

After all, 400,000 can already earn a lot, so there is no need to freeze the relationship between the two parties.

However, he was still a little dissatisfied with the sale of less than 150,000 gold coins.

In this way, it was only an increase of 20,000.

Not too much, but not too little either.

And the members of the Frank family who heard the words suddenly showed a slight anger.

Obviously, the other party really decided on them.

But it is also true that there are not many principalities responsible for building castles, just one or two.

The other principality is even further away from their territory, at least a month away.

In this way, if the principality is asked to help build it, the cost will only be higher.

"well!"

Purse sighed.

Even if it was a temporary price increase of 20,000 gold coins, he could only accept it.

"My lord, there is a huge convoy not far from the camp, and it is Miss Natasha who has returned."

But just when Puersi was about to speak and agree, there was a report from his subordinates outside the tent.

"Natasha is back?" Puersi suddenly showed surprise.

The old Frank on the side also showed joy.

Today's Natasha's status in the Frank family is only higher than before.

And this time they returned with the convoy. Could it be that Narante knew about their arrival and specially sent some gifts?

"Yes, Lord Earl. It seems that Baron Nalante is also there, but it's too small to be sure!"

"Baron Narante is here too?"

The surprise on Purse's face became even worse.

And the other members of the Frank family also stood up excitedly.

"Baron Nalante? Could it be that Nalante from Stormwind City?"

At this moment, Matthew was also taken aback.

He naturally didn't know Natasha who was reported by the servant earlier, and he didn't care much about it.

But Baron Nalante, if there is no second Baron Nalante in this sacred continent.

That was probably the one from Stormwind.

But, do these little nobles from other places really know Baron Nalante?

It's a pity that no one has time to pay attention to Matthew now.

"My lord, Matthew, I'm very sorry, I have an important guest here, please wait for me in the camp first."

"I'll sign the contract with you later!"

After speaking, Puersi quickly walked out of the tent.

However, suddenly seeing that his father had also stood up, he immediately turned around and helped Old Frank to go together.

Naturally, the other members of the Frank family did not dare to neglect, and followed them out one after another.

Matthew looked at the empty tent, but he was not angry.

Instead, he frowned and thought.

After thinking about it, he simply followed out.

"Nalant, this is my father's temporary camp."

"I heard that they plan to build a castle by that river, so that the river water can be drawn in and used as a moat!"

The team of Narante and others has not yet arrived at the gate of the camp.

Natasha has happily introduced the family situation.

Although she didn't want Narant to invest too much in the Frank family because of herself.

However, Nalante's active participation regardless of dissuasion moved her even more.

In this way, Natasha along the way is not to mention how sweet she is.

"Well, there are indeed not many hills on the Black Rock Plain, so building a castle does require a moat."

"Although the moat is often just a decoration, it is necessary to use it just in case."

Nalante nodded.

"Nalant, my father and grandfather are here!"

Just as the convoy was about to arrive at the gate of the camp, Natasha had already seen Puersi and others who came to welcome them in a hurry.

At this moment, Natasha became nervous instead.

Because speaking of it, Narante and his father and others did not seem to have actually met each other.

However, fortunately, Nalante was very calm, which also made her feel a little relieved.

"I've seen Baron Narante!"

And when the convoy just stopped, Puersi immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Earl Purse, you are too polite!"

"This is Old Frank, right? I've always mentioned you to Natasha. It's really a pleasure to meet you!"

Nalante is also very polite, after all, Natasha's feelings must be taken into consideration.

He got out of the car without any airs, and saluted Old Frank and Puerce.

"Baron Frank, you are too polite!" Old Frank didn't expect Narant to respect him so much, and he was a little flattered at the moment.

"I've seen Baron Narante!"

At this time, other members of the Frank family also greeted Narante.

"Your Excellencies, hello!"

"I came here suddenly this time, I hope I didn't disturb you!"

Narante responded again.

"Baron Narante, it is an honor for our Frank family to have you here."

"Natasha, quickly invite Baron Narante to enter the camp, let's sit down and talk!" Puersi immediately greeted Natasha.

Today's Nalante is not what it used to be, and even the kings of the empire respect him.

So Purse and others are still under pressure.

"Nalante, let's go in and talk!" Natasha immediately took Nalante's arm when she heard this.

"Okay!" Nalan nodded, and then followed Natasha directly into the camp.

The rear convoy was handed over to the Frank family by Raymond, Quick and others.

Members of the Frank family looked at the barrels of familiar wine barrels, plus the carts of brown sugar, white sugar and other items, but there was a look of shock in their eyes.

The dozens of carts of goods in this area are probably worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

"I have seen Lord Baron Narante!"

"I have seen Lord Baron Narante!"

As Narant moved forward, the servants and servants of the Frank family around him also respectfully greeted Narant.

Obviously, this is treating Nalante as an absolute VIP.

Soon, under Natasha's leadership, Narante was taken to a rest tent that was the same size as the meeting tent.

There are sofas, tea tables and other objects in the tent, which are obviously used to receive guests.

"Baron Nalante, please don't be offended, our place is too simple!" Purse said apologetically.

"Earl Purse, you are too out of touch. You are Natasha's father, but you can just call me Nalante!" Nalante naturally wouldn't mind.

"How can this be~www.readwn.com~ Baron Nalante, now you are the glory of all our glorious continents, so we must maintain enough respect for you!" Purse shook his head resolutely.

Nalante smiled when he heard the words, so he didn't force it.

At this time, the servants also brought tea and pastries.

But just as Puersi was about to invite Nalante to enjoy tea, a person suddenly walked in from outside the tent.

It was Matthew, the steward of the caravan.

"Your Excellency Matthew, the contract will not be signed until later. We are receiving an important guest now." Seeing this, Puersi immediately spoke to Matthew for fear of disturbing Narante.

"Your Excellency Purse, I didn't come here because of the contract!" But Matthew shook his head.

Then he looked at Nalante, "Matthew Kelly, Honorary Viscount of the Duchy of Darkan, met Baron Nalante!"

Matthew greeted Narante very respectfully.
