Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Claire spent less than an hour in Joseph's mansion in total before returning to the tulip shop.

As soon as he walked into the lounge, Xia En, who was eating desserts in the lounge, raised his head and asked, "How's it going?"

Claire hesitated for a while, but still felt that she didn't tell the other party that she met Norris today, and it wasn't that she couldn't trust Shane. It was just the conflict between the kingship and the church. The less people knew about this kind of thing, the better.

So he nodded and said simply: "It's all settled, I successfully persuaded the other party."

Shane gave a thumbs up, "As expected of you, even a justice who has a close relationship with the church can persuade him."

"Oh, by the way, ask someone to help me write a letter back to Regan, and tell him that the Adventurer's Guild can start to be built, and the address is selected in the East District."

"No problem, delivery is guaranteed within two days."

Shane said that at this time, Claire remembered the thing that seemed to have quantum entanglement from the last transaction, took it out from the trading space and threw it to Shane on the sofa.

"No, I'll give you something good."

Xia En stretched out his hands and took it in midair, his thumb and forefinger clamped the black conical object, put it in front of him, looked at it a few times, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Claire took out another cone-shaped object from her hand and smiled, "Come on, let me show you."

After speaking, he took out two pieces of paper, and then glued a little ink on the two conical objects, and then took the conical objects and wrote on the paper, while the other conical object that no one controlled It also stood up and synchronously wrote the exact same text on the paper.

Xia En's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "How far can the distance between them be?"

Claire hasn't tried it yet, so she can only say truthfully: "I don't know, but the distance from Nafu City to the Royal Capital is definitely enough."

Shane grabbed the conical object and wrote and drew on the paper in front of him. Claire let go of the conical object in his hand. Similarly, when Shane was writing, this side was also writing. At the same time, the same font appeared.

"This is a bit miraculous, is it your new research?" Shane asked excitedly.

Claire nodded, "That's right."

"Is the cost high? If not, we can do business with the military."

It is not that there is no long-distance communication method in the army, but it requires a magician-level mage to be able to display it. Generally, only the high-level officers in the army can use it to communicate and issue orders, while the middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers do not have this. Treated.

So if the cost of Claire's cone-shaped object is not high and it can transmit information over a long distance, then they can definitely make a lot of military expenses from the army.

It's a pity that this was traded by Claire, and after several days of research, I haven't found out how it works.

So Claire shook his head, "It was researched out of blindness, and if I make another one, I feel bad about the cost, so let's forget it."

Hearing this, Xia En could only nod his head regretfully, "But it's not bad. With this thing, it will be more convenient for you and me to communicate with you in Nafu City in the future."

...

After leaving Claire, Joseph returned to the room where Norris was.

As soon as he entered, Joseph knelt down and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have sent him away."

"Get up." Norris said lightly.

Joseph said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Norris tapped his index finger a few more times on the chair handle, then asked, "What do you think of this Claire?"

After biting his lips and thinking for a moment, Joseph replied, "He has wisdom far beyond this age and far beyond ordinary people... Besides, courage is commendable."

Norris nodded and said lightly, "You're right, but you're just too smart."

After speaking, Norris stood up, walked to the window, raised his head to look at the moon, and continued: "It's too smart, it's not good, in those letters I sent him before, how many shameful things were done by the church. I thought he was going to tear up his face with the church at first, but when you look at the exposure, it's all innocuous things."

"The church has bowed its head to him. Nafu City doesn't even have a church or a priest now. Do you see which city in the entire king can do it?"

"There is a conflict between him and the church, but the conflict is not big enough to fight for life and death. I want to pull him in to fight the church together, but he is too smart and wants him to be a pioneer to attract the attention of the church. Totally impossible."

"Clever, but not useful to me."

Joseph lowered his head, carefully comprehending the meaning of his master's words.

"Then Your Majesty wants to..."

Norris waved his hand, "Kill him? That's not to say, Irene still likes this kid, and it's just temporarily unavailable to me. When the conflict between him and the church becomes bigger in the future, then even if I don't let him. If he goes, he will take the initiative to trouble the church."

...

Claire still remembered what Norris said when she stepped back.

But then again, since I've been in the capital for so long, I really haven't looked for Irene, so Claire gave herself a day off and asked Shane to ask Irene out.

Claire also called Shane over. She didn't go with Irene. She didn't want Shane to be a light bulb, but Irene would definitely be protected by the same wizard-level experts as last time. Wan Wan As soon as the two of them stay together, the atmosphere is here, so are you taking advantage or not?

What kind of man is he who doesn't take advantage of the delivery to the door, but if he does, Claire promises that Norris will know that he has taken advantage of his precious daughter that day, and it will be over.

Before going out, Claire took Shane and Irene to play at a property of Shane's family. In order to make the other party have more fun, Claire specially made a pair of poker last night. Individuals just can fight the landlord.

Tired of playing poker, backgammon, and Go, a day will soon pass.

"Why do you suddenly have time to come to play with me?" Irene asked, holding a doll tightly in her arms, "When Brother Xia En asked you to find you, he was always busy with you."

Claire touched her nose. You can't say it was your dad who asked me to come.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to play with you."

"Hmph." Irene arrogantly put her head away, "I think you only remembered me when you were idle and bored."

"Can't I just miss you?" Claire smiled slightly.

Irene's face flushed red, holding her own fists and hammering the doll in her arms, said crampedly, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Hey! Four twos!" Xia En exclaimed suddenly excitedly: "You guys are no bigger than this! Going one three alone, after so many fights, I finally won!"

This sudden shout shocked Irene out of the ambiguous atmosphere. After looking at the card she still had in her hand, she picked up the doll angrily and gently smashed Xia En several times.

"I haven't won once." This wasn't the main reason, the main reason was that Shane had disturbed her from the ambiguous atmosphere.

Shane looked innocent, pointed at Claire and said, "He has won so many hands, you should beat him."

"I..." Irene was at a loss for words.

At this moment, the servant outside pushed the door and walked in. He whispered a few words in Shane's ear, and Shane suddenly turned his attention to Claire with a complicated expression.

Claire's expression changed slightly, and she put the poker in her hand back on the table.

After the servant finished speaking, he backed away. Both Irene and Claire were a little puzzled when they saw Shane's expression.

"Shaen, what's the matter?" Claire asked.

"The Pope of the Church of Light wants to see you, and is now in the lounge in the tulip shop."
