Lord of War

"You mean, that nobleman went to Soma Hastings?" A young woman asked in surprise.

Her appearance is not outstanding, at most she can only be regarded as a middle-aged figure. But perhaps because of her good background, this woman who should be regarded as a woman has an awe-inspiring aura, and she looks very grand in her gestures, even at this moment, there is surprise on her face before it turns into a frown, but still There is an indescribably dignified aura, and it is obvious that a woman like this is definitely not something that ordinary people can cultivate.

"Yes." It was a thin man who answered the young woman's words.

"That's it, it's a bit beyond my expectation." Although the young woman looked calm when she said this, there was a trace of annoyance on her face, but she still betrayed her true emotions. Perhaps this It is because of lack of experience and experience.

The woman threw the pen in her hand on the table, leaned back and hit the soft back cushion, her temperament became less dignified and awe-inspiring, but more lazy. She squinted her eyes somewhat comfortably, glanced at the half-written letter, then got up and began to walk around the room, and she was a bit more intellectual and persistent when she was deep in thought.

It is said that the man who is thinking is the most handsome moment, but if you see this woman walking in the room thinking deeply, I am afraid that this sentence will change.

However, the thin man kept his head down and knelt on the ground from the beginning to the end, and did not look up at the woman.

It's not that I don't look at it, but I don't dare to look at it.

"Ding, you are a very powerful person. I don't even know how to intervene in this move." The woman suddenly smiled, and she looked like a child who was very happy because of a new favorite toy. "Try to find out what they said when they met."

"This...," the thin man finally showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Is it difficult?" The woman tilted her head and asked with some doubts.

"Indeed." The man smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "The nobleman, his two followers, Soma and Qaqi were the only ones who met. None of the people I bribed could enter that reception room. It can’t even be connected close.” … All the daily life of the Lord Soma is taken care of by Qaqi, but Qazi himself is a very self-disciplined person, and he can’t find any weaknesses at all.

"It's really hard." The woman sighed helplessly, "I hate this kind of person who has no weakness at all. Orphan?"

The man was a little unaware of the woman's sudden change of tone and attitude, but after being taken aback for a moment, he immediately replied: "It's an orphan."

"That's it, then there's nothing we can do." The woman shrugged, "Forget it, anyway, this is just a small game. Since the location and people are not on our side, then let's give up the action for the time being. Anyway, later Hastings Manor will start holding banquets soon, and there is still a chance at that time... You can go down and keep monitoring."

"Yes." The thin man nodded and quickly got up and left the room as if he had been pardoned.

But this woman sat down on the chair again, then picked up the quill, scratched her hair in distress, and muttered to herself: "Next, what should I write to my brother?..., I don’t know if my brother is doing well in the Western Continent, it’s all the fault of Sean Connery! It’s causing my brother to leave his hometown now, don’t let me meet this person,

Otherwise, I must make him look good. "

Cursing so angrily and in a low voice, it seemed like he was venting his anger, but in the end, after ten minutes of silence, the letter was still only a few lines of text, which seemed to be only two, Just three sentences.

However, what is rare is that these handwritings are very correct and beautiful, and they seem to have a pleasing aesthetic feeling.

Sighing helplessly, the woman finally signed her signature on the lower right corner of the letter reluctantly.

Your dear sister, Patchouli Boulder.

After thinking about it, the young woman named Paqiuli even drew a smiling face next to her signature, and snickered a few times like a prank child. Immediately afterwards, she folded up a dozen pieces of letter paper, stuffed them into an envelope, and then dripped wax on it to stamp a seal representing the Boulder family's crest.

Looking at the stuffed envelope, Paqiuli finally showed a satisfied smile.

At the same time, in the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, Sean finally met the person in charge of the city.

Soma Hi Sting.

In Sean's eyes, this is a very charismatic person. Perhaps because she is used to the life of the superior, Soma naturally exudes a kind of calm and prestige. Just sitting on the chief seat in the reception room, the whole reception room seems to be Soma Like the home court, there is an indescribably terrifying atmosphere.

If it is said that there are bronze, silver, gold, and sanctuary methods for diplomatic speech, then Soma Huisting is undoubtedly a strong man at the sanctuary level.

But what really surprised Sean was not Soma Hastings, but the young man standing behind Soma, the lord of Romingen.

For a person like Rude, if Xiao Si gives him enough affirmation and freedom, in time he will surely be able to breed an aura and aura like Soma Hastings. If you regress, the so-called aura and momentum will be completely combined in many cases, and there will be that majestic aura in every gesture, just like the soaring aura emanating from a battlefield general who is defeated by thousands of people and killed by thousands of people Same.

But now, the young man who Sean remembers calling himself Kazi is different.

If you must find a way to describe it, then what exists in Xiao En's mind is "Nashi".

It's not taking advantage of the situation, it must be paid back after all.

To accept power is to take everything into one's own body and become something that belongs to one's own.

The moment the door of the reception room was closed, Soma Hasting's self-possessed aura became more and more obvious, and the entire reception room became his home field in an instant. However, in this home court, Kazi forcibly developed an aura that belongs to him, that kind of cold and biting indifference, which perfectly blends with Soma's coercive aura, giving people the feeling that as long as If these two stand together, then they are invincible and strong.

What an astonishing pair of talents.

Sure enough, as Sean expected, Soma immediately expressed a welcome attitude with almost no time to think.

In fact, this is also why Sean somewhat underestimated the factional confrontation in the Kingdom of Darbion.

For example, the Nugus family and the Boulder family belong to the opposing camp of deadly rivals. Although the other four duke families occasionally join forces with the Nugus family to deal with the Boulder family, only two of the other four duke families It is an absolute ally relationship with the Nugus family whose interests are completely consistent. Although the other two families occasionally agree with each other, their interests sometimes conflict with the Nugus family.

And the situation derived from this state is that all the families attached to Nugus will show extremely obvious and strong hostility towards Boulder and the attached families under his command. Moreover, this kind of hostility is not only shown in the capital, but also in their respective territories or other public and private occasions. Once the two hostile parties appear, they will usually carry out extremely strong criticism, abuse or even Is a duel and so on.

In such an atmosphere, each dependent family was branded extremely clearly.

Therefore, even newly promoted nobles usually choose their position at the first time and choose a camp to attach to. Only in this way can it be possible to change from a lifelong system to a hereditary system, and even get a fief to officially become a nobleman. Real nobles. And it is precisely because of this behavior of choosing a position that it is naturally impossible to show a good face or a cooperative stance when facing the nobles of the hostile factions, even if they know that cooperation between each other will make one thing easier. Simple is even more beneficial, but if the camps of the two families are different, then this kind of cooperation is completely impossible.

Therefore, when Sean expressed his willingness to stand on the side of the Hastings family, Soma's favorability immediately changed.

In particular, Sean's hand just hit Soma's weakness.

In fact, with the appearance of this mysterious drawing, the whole Lomingen fell into a strange atmosphere.

Because no one knows what the structure recorded on this blueprint is, naturally there is no way of knowing what kind of blueprint it is. The reason why so many nobles competed is purely because the attitude of the Mage Guild is very suspicious, because the Mage Guild has not paid so much attention to anything for a long time, and this time it suddenly became extremely aggressive, which means that this blueprint is absolutely have great value.

And valuable things usually represent many deeper meanings, at least wealth and power will not be far away, so the nobles will take action one after another.

As long as this mysterious blueprint is snatched, it will occupy a dominant position. If the Mage Guild wants to get back this blueprint, it will have to pay a reward that satisfies these greedy nobles. Even if the Magi Guild is not satisfactory, it would be a good choice to dedicate it to the royal family or for personal use.

Under such a premise, if you can figure out what kind of drawing this drawing is, then you will naturally have a more accurate assessment of its value.

So recently, Soma has been thinking of ways to see if he can recruit a talent who understands this aspect. However, when Soma went to the Temple of Wisdom to ask for help, he was told that the Temple of Wisdom had promised that the Mages Guild would not intervene in this matter, so neither Soma nor other nobles could rely on the power of the Temple of Wisdom. Find out what this drawing actually records.

It is precisely because of this that there will be a so-called joint research banquet held at Hastings Manor.

But now, Sean, who has the status of a scholar officially recognized by the Temple of Wisdom, said that he could help the Hastings family identify this blueprint. This is of course good news for Soma, and the price he has to pay is nothing more than It was just for Sean to visit Hastings Manor at will. This deal was very cost-effective for Soma, so he agreed to Sean's request without hesitation.

Of course, Hastings was somewhat skeptical about whether Sean could really understand the meaning of that mysterious blueprint, but in the current situation, something is better than nothing, and he also hopes that Sean can understand it thoroughly. A small part is enough for him to have a value evaluation reference.

The negotiation ended satisfactorily when both parties were satisfied.

Many observers who had been watching every move of Xiao En, a foreign nobleman, saw Soma and Kazi personally send Xiao En out of the Lord's Mansion. After being shocked, these observers rushed back to report to their masters latest situation.

Patchouli Boulder, who had just ordered the letter to be mailed, was one of them.

For the first time, she didn't show that peaceful smile on her face, but frowned, showing a puzzled look of distress: "Why would Soma send him out with Qazi himself? What about the Lord's Mansion?... This must be showing us. In other words, this person is now an ally with the Hastings family, so he is on the side of the Nugus family?"

The thin man in charge of the report was silent, he knew that he didn't need to say anything at this time.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Paqiuli continued to speak: "No, things are definitely not that simple.... If the new nobleman chooses a camp, Soma will definitely not send him out in person, and he will not send him out. Said that he is a nobleman who is about to obtain a fiefdom, then this means that he also has a strong background and connections behind him. In this way, Soma will personally send him away to do this kind of behavior similar to declaring sovereignty , there is only one possibility.”

"This guy must have enough knowledge of that blueprint, maybe he might be a scholar recognized by the Temple of Wisdom!"

"Then do we need to deal with him?"

"There are two masters in the silver realm beside him, can you solve it?" Paqiuli smiled again, "Of course, if there is a chance, he can do it, but he must be a scholar. A cautious and shrewd person, it's no wonder that he was able to break the trap I arranged.... Hehe, I am becoming more and more interested in the dinner party at Hastings Manor, and it turns out that I made the right choice for this trip."

"I hope he won't let me down." [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @勃仕尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is me Maximum motivation. )
