Less than five minutes after Regan finished shouting, the sound of chaotic horse hooves came from Cosi City, and a column of knights riding Warhorse appeared at the city gate.
Although Count Grein's Barony lost the battle, it still had to have the cards it deserved.
It's just that those knights didn't dare to look up at the Griffin Barony knights on the opposite side. They didn't have the momentum they should have at all. The knights who finally managed to survive from the disability were crushed as soon as they met.
The housekeeper Bill also walked out on a tall and strong bay-red horse. He put on a charming smile and said with a smile, "Count Grein is waiting for you all in the city. Please come with me."
"Ha!" Regan chuckled disdainfully. Everyone present could hear the loud voice, and the ridicule in his tone could also be heard.
When the Bill butler opposite heard this laughter, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Regan continued, "I remember how proud you were before."
Bill calmed down and smiled, "It's all a misunderstanding. Isn't the purpose of coming here today to clear up this misunderstanding?"
"Hahahaha!" Regan laughed loudly for fear that others would not hear it.
"What the hell is this misunderstanding? It's because you were defeated by us. I came here today to ask you to cede the land to compensate!" Regan still maintained his arrogance. He had not forgotten how this ghost was angry with his young master at the beginning. He treated the knights of the viscounty like livestock at the gate of the city. The other party was not so polite at that time.
Therefore, the places that were not recovered that day will be recovered today!
Bill's face was as ugly as a pig's liver, and he was biting his lips and unable to say a word.
"Let's go!" Regan waved his hand and walked towards Cosi City first, and the knights behind him immediately followed.
Isaac opened his mouth slightly and looked at Regan in surprise. The normally amiable administrative officer actually has such a tough and arrogant side. Since you are so arrogant, you were so nervous just now.
But why does this arrogant look look so familiar, oh! It's exactly the same as when Claire threatened Count Grein! Is it possible that this arrogance comes from the same origin?
After entering Cosi City, Bill followed Regan side by side and walked at the front, and stopped talking to each other for fear that Regan would retaliate against him.
But Regan didn't stop. As soon as he entered the city, he smacked his lips, pointed around and commented arbitrarily. "Tsk, tsk, tsk! Look at your city, the ground is dirty, people spit and splash water on the road, and there is still feces! No one comes to clean it! There is no such dirty place in Nafu City!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Look, these residents don't even say hello when they see us. You can tell they don't like you! Every few steps I take in Nafu City, residents greet me. It's so annoying."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! That child is already moving things and working at such a young age? Children at such a young age like Nafu City all learn in school!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Look, there are beggars on the roadside. Don't you have jobs for them here? Every resident in Nafu City now has his or her own job!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Bill cursed in his heart, but he still said honestly, "Yes, yes, yes!"
On the way to the Earl's Palace, Regan cursed all the way and almost wrote on his face that your city is really a garbage city.
Isaac, who followed behind, covered his mouth and tried his best not to laugh out loud. What Regan said was true, but it was just funny.
Arriving outside the Earl's Mansion, Hant asked Kellan and the others to wait outside, and he and Isaac followed Regan in.
"Only the Earl's Mansion can be seen as acceptable." Regan commented, but then quickly added, "I don't know how to use all this money to build the city. It's all in vain."
After listening to this all the way, Bill was already numb and took the three of them into the living room.
"Your Majesty, the Earl, has asked the kitchen to prepare food. Please wait here for a moment."
"Hmph!" Regan snorted softly from the tip of his nose, and sat down on the sofa swaggeringly, not polite at all.
Hant and Isaac also sat down when they saw this. After Bill stepped back, Isaac asked, "Regan, Administrative Officer, weren't you quite nervous just now? Why did it suddenly become... like this?"
Regan then put away his arrogant and playboy look and replied, "I'm nervous because I'm afraid of betraying the young master's trust, not because I'm afraid of them. As for my appearance, if we win the battle and don't act arrogant, then it won't be in vain!"
Isaac nodded, "What you said makes some sense."
After about ten minutes, several maids came and took the three of them to the restaurant.
The restaurant in Count Grein's house is similar to Claire's restaurant in the Baronial Manor's house. They are both very large and magnificent rooms, enough to accommodate dozens of people dining at the same time. As soon as Regan entered, he saw Count Grein sitting in the main seat. He pulled out the chair and sat down without saying hello.
Then he said to Count Grein, "I'm here to discuss the delivery of the site..."
Count Grein stretched out his hand to stop him, waved his hand, and several maids carrying dishes appeared below and placed the dishes on the dining table one by one.
"Don't worry, eat first. You can talk to Bill about this matter. He has full authority to represent me."
Regan curled his lips, picked up the knife and fork and picked up the honey-glazed pork steak on the plate in front of him, and replied, "It's the same with whomever you talk to."
Then he put the meat steak into his mouth and started chewing it. As for Isaac and Hant, they didn't even touch the food on the table.
Bill sat opposite, stood up, and said, "On behalf of the Earl, I am speaking to you..."
"Bah!" Regan opened his mouth and spat out the steak, "What kind of junk food is not as delicious as the maid in the Baronial Manor, how about the Earl's Mansion?"
Bill, who was sitting opposite, paused for a moment. He did not expect that the other party would interrupt him in this way.
Count Grein, who was sitting on the main seat, could not help but his eyelids twitching. He was insulted!!!
Bill glanced over slightly, wanting to see Count Grein's opinion. Count Grein secretly waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.
"I am here to discuss with you on behalf of the Earl. The reason is that the four mines in the site are directly handed over to the Lixis Merchant Guild for mining. You must discuss with them in advance before handing over the site to you. Also, there are many things in the mine that need to be moved, so it will take a certain amount of time to move and the personnel in charge to evacuate."
Lixis Merchant Guild is considered a top chamber of commerce in the kingdom, involved in many industries. Although it is not as good as giants like August Family, it is still considered to be the top dignitary in the royal capital. They have always been the leader in mineral mining. Yes, many of the minerals that appear in the territory of the lords are mined by them and then sold to them. The lords don't have to worry too much about the money as it will be credited to their accounts. The Magic Ore before Griffin Barony is also mined by them.
The purpose of Bill's words is also to use Lixis Merchant Guild to overpower Claire. It's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's because Lixis Merchant Guild wants to evacuate that's why I can't give it to you. Give us some time. We've negotiated with them and divided the territory to you.
As for how long that bit of time is? It depends on how long the negotiations last. One or two years is not too much for such a complicated matter. If you are unhappy, go find Lixis Merchant Guild and see if you can just touch them.
If Count Grein pushes the price down a little further and gives some profits to the Lixis Merchant Guild, they will definitely be happy to defend themselves, and then drag on the delivery matter forever.
Regan was not surprised. He had expected that the other party was unwilling to hand over the territory. If he was willing to hand it over, he would still be a little at a loss.
Regan stood up suddenly and slapped the table hard, "Pop!"
The heart of Bill on the opposite side started to beat, and there was a dull pain again.
