"No, absolutely not!"
In the conference room of the farmhouse, Zhou Li faced three men in aristocratic costumes with a frosty face and angrily shouted: "You came to my site to build a building? Am I crazy or are you crazy?"
"Mr. Zhou Li, don't be impatient. Stay calm and listen to us."
The man with a goatee and always smiling expression pressed his hands and said slowly: "That's right, the showdown between you and Ms. Don Quixote is a magnificent event. As a veteran nobleman, we Naturally, the inheritors are not exempt from secularism and want to participate in this grand event. We also want to create some revenue for Mr. Zhou Li so that we can contribute to the fight against disasters in the future, right?"
"Carter Roland is right." The square-faced man on the side nodded and praised: "They all say that Mr. Zhou Li is a talented person, and today he is indeed extraordinary. We must not miss the showdown between you and Don Quixote, so we still Please think about it carefully."
"You also know that the screening of this grand event is too weak, and anyone can sneak in at will."
At this time, the nobleman known as Carter Roland said: "Although our group of people are not great talents, we still have some real power. There are always people who care about the lives of us old bones, and we are also afraid."
"Yeah yeah."
The man with a slicked back hair and a coat full of medals nodded in agreement: "We people still have some power after all. Those rebellious officials and thieves have been trying to kill us for a day or two. Just say, as a person, I An earl, the name Aif Nagou is worth tens of thousands of gold coins in the black market. You said that if a group of us were killed on your territory, it would also have some impact on your reputation."
Zhou Li fell into silence after hearing this. In the morning, these three veteran nobles paid a sudden visit and said they had important matters to discuss with them. As a result, this group of old immortals came up and said that they wanted to build a fortress and a viewing platform at the farmhouse. As the owner of the farmhouse, Zhou Li was naturally extremely opposed to this kind of thing.
But after these immortal Junker nobles talked a lot, Zhou Li felt a little moved. He seemed to have no reason to refute.
"The most important thing is that if we are assassinated, the unlucky ones will be the civilians."
At this time, Aifudigou said: "We have magic weapons, guards and bodyguards. But those civilians do not. If someone wants to assassinate us, creating chaos among the people and taking the opportunity to attack is the best way. We may be able to hide Come on, where are they?"
Hearing this, Zhou Li suddenly trembled and his expression condensed. At this time, Carter Roland on the side smiled and said to Zhou Li:
"Mr. Zhou Li, you can rest assured that although the decisive battle is only three days away, our thirty-two mages and construction professionals will immediately repair the fortress and viewing platform to protect us and the civilians as well. Wait until Once the decisive battle is over, we will leave this fortress directly to you, and we will definitely not get any part of the farmhouse's property."
Seeing Zhou Li's somewhat moved expression, Ai Fudigou, a nobleman with a strange name, took advantage of the victory and said, "And we will pay three thousand gold coins as the ticket, and privately take out two thousand gold coins as compensation for you. We will also I will sign a contract with you. The nobles will not get involved in any farmhouse-related properties, and nothing related to you will appear in our name. What do you think?"
"this……"
Zhou Li lowered his eyes slightly and tapped the table with his right hand. After a while, he raised his head and said to the three of them: "How many of you are coming?"
"We have ten established nobles and ten merchant nobles. Each noble has ten servants, ten guards, and three professional bodyguards. There are more than 460 people in total. Look at this number..."
"Each noble must spend at least fifty gold coins with us." Zhou Li stretched out his hand and made a five sign. He looked at the three of them with a slightly evasive look.
Carter Roland was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he looked at each other and smiled at Aifudigo. He looked at Zhou Li, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Twenty nobles will donate 100 gold coins to you in their own name. What do you think?"
"no."
Zhou Li shook his head and said firmly: "It must be consumption."
"Okay, don't worry, it's consumption."
Carter Roland laughed three times, then took out a contract and handed it to Zhou Li, indicating to him to take a look at the specific terms on it.
Zhou Li glanced at it, then he took out a copy of "Magnum Judicial Guide" and began to pretend to read the terms. Three minutes later, Zhou Li nodded heavily and then signed his name.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Carter Roland stood up and shook hands with Zhou Li. A happy smile appeared on both of their faces.
In the luxurious carriage, Carter Roland, Alfredo Gou, and the square-faced man sat silently among them. When the carriage gradually drove onto the road and the Goblin Farmhouse behind them was no longer visible, the three of them looked at each other and then started laughing.
"I had expected that this week I would not be able to get away from this young boy. As soon as our noble status was suppressed, this boy who had never seen the world could not hold on for three rounds and was defeated. It was just as I expected. !”
Carter Roland smiled and spoke to the two of them, while taking out a bottle of champagne from the freezer nearby and motioning to the two of them. The two of them were naturally relaxed and elegant. Each took out a glass and waited to taste the delicious champagne.
"Count Carter Roland is indeed a talented man, I admire him."
The square-faced man with a lower status and less seniority praised him repeatedly, and then asked with some confusion: "Count Carter Roland, what I don't quite understand is why you and that kid had to fight for the fifty gold coins in the end. ? Why does he want others to spend fifty gold coins without giving up the one hundred gold coins for free benefits? I don’t quite understand.”
"Viscount Taka, don't you understand this?"
After opening the champagne and filling a glass for each of the two people in front of him, Carter Roland took a sip of the champagne very comfortably and said with a smile: "Through the negotiation just now, what kind of person do you think this Zhou Li is?"
"I feel like this guy is smart but not very talented."
The square-faced man pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This guy has been beaten by us during the negotiations, but he is a little smart and not too stupid, but he cannot take on the overall situation."
"But I think this guy seems to be quite upright."
Aifudigo took a sip of champagne and said with a slight frown, "Actually, he didn't react when we talked about nobles, but his expression changed when we talked about civilians. I feel like he is an upright brave man."
"No, you are too superficial."
Carter Roland shook the amber liquid in the cup and said to the two of them with a confident tone:
"This man named Zhou Li has extraordinary dignity."
"Protect everything, protect yourself, and protect the dignity of the weak. He is unwilling to accept charity, so he must let us spend fifty gold coins. He does not want to be oppressed by the nobles, so he has to find an excuse to protect the common people. He obviously likes wealth, but His self-esteem made him restrained and unruly."
He drank the liquid in the cup in one gulp, then looked at the Goblin Farmhouse that was getting farther and farther behind him, with a disdainful smile on his lips: "This kind of upright and self-respecting person is the best to deal with."
