Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

Emerson Wilder was waiting for the arrival of the Earl of Kent in the castle's dining room.

He was assigned to Emden as a royal commissioner nearly half a year ago. The Earl of Kent's family was related to their Wilder family, and the two families had never stopped communicating. He worked hard in secret before being assigned to Emden by his superiors.

This assignment was like a vacation in the territory of a relative. Unlike the lords in the northwest, the Kent family was known for its wealth. Emerson would naturally not suffer any hardship after coming here, and with the relationship between the two families, he would not be looked down upon by the master like other royal commissioners.

A notification came from the door: "The Earl is here!"

Emerson stood up to welcome the arrival of the Earl of Kent.

The owner of the castle walked slowly into the dining room, followed by a young man who looked a bit like the Earl.

That was the Earl's son, Emerson's cousin - Jais Kent.

He greeted the Earl and his son: "Good day, Uncle Kent. Good day, cousin Jais."

"Sit down, little Emerson."

The Earl kindly asked Emerson to sit down, not at all as indifferent as when Viscount Angelo visited before, and his pale face was a little rosy.

After the father and son sat down at the dining table, the Earl ordered the servant next to him: "Serve the meal."

Jais greeted Emerson: "It's been a long time since we last met. How are you? Are you used to living here?"

Emerson smiled and responded: "Uncle Kent treats me very well. But you, when did you come back?"

Jais said: "I just got home last night. I didn't notify you because I was afraid of disturbing your rest."

A few months ago, Jais led his troops to the south to support the king, but later because the king's capital lacked food and grass, the army to support the king was temporarily disbanded.

The three of them discussed the recent situation. Earl Kent said, "This time the food and grass were burned clean. After this disbandment, I don't know when His Majesty will summon the lords from all over the country to serve the king again."

The three people present knew that the royal government was short of food, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Jais shook his head: "Before I left, everyone was talking about rumors. Our Majesty really encountered an unprecedented crisis this time. It's not just a matter of food. It seems that the rebels in the south are a bit too strong and it's difficult to deal with them."

There was no worry about the king in his tone.

After hearing this, Earl Kent said to Emerson meaningfully: "Looking at the current situation, the Wilder family and the Kent family must make plans in advance!"

Emerson certainly knew what the earl meant by "making plans in advance", which was nothing more than not hanging on the tree of the royal family and leaving a way out for himself.

Although he was a royal commissioner, he was still loyal to his family first. Before the situation became clear, he temporarily maintained his image as a loyal minister of the royal family. Once the royal family was in decline, he would distance himself a little. When the royal family was defeated, he would immediately turn to the other side.

In this era, isn't everyone doing this?

He gave the earl a self-explanatory look: "Thank you Uncle Kent for reminding me. I believe my father will be fully prepared."

Earl Kent laughed out loud. He also knew how to judge the situation and know the current affairs. This was the reason why their two families could have long-term exchanges and even unite.

As he was talking, the servant served breakfast.

When the plate in front of the earl was opened, a bloody smell wafted out.

Emerson wrinkled his nose. Although he had eaten with Uncle Kent several times, he was still not used to this smell.

On the earl's plate was an exquisite glass. It was not wine or juice, but bright red blood, which made people's hair numb at a glance.

His cousin Jais was indifferent, obviously used to his father's special drink.

Emerson had visited Emden before, but the Earl of Kent didn't have this habit at that time.

When he came to Emden this time, when he had dinner with the Earl for the first time, a large cup of blood was placed on the table, which scared him.

The Earl explained to him that this was a health preservation method taught to him by a wandering doctor. Drinking a cup of sheep's blood or pig's blood with every meal, supplemented with secret medicine, can strengthen the body and prolong life.

Emerson knew from the correspondence between the two families that the Earl of Kent had a serious illness. When he was dying, a doctor who passed by his territory saved his life. Presumably, that was the person who taught him this health preservation method.

Now it seems that this health preservation method is still effective. His uncle Kent is in his 50s, but he looks very strong. The only strange thing is that his skin has become a little pale. I think it's because he stays in the castle all day and doesn't go out much.

The Earl also enthusiastically recommended his health-preserving method to Emerson, but he declined the offer when he thought of the pungent smell of blood. How could he have a good appetite when drinking that kind of thing during a meal?

The Earl took a sip from the cup, showing a very enjoyable expression.

At first, he was not used to it, but gradually he liked the taste.

For this reason, he ordered the kitchen to kill a livestock every two days. The blood obtained on that day was the most delicious, and a few cups were left in the ice cellar for refrigeration and reserved for drinking the next day.

After taking a sip of the "drink", the Earl felt refreshed and began to enjoy the food on the table.

As he ate, he said, "Let's not talk about the rebellion in the south. A lot of things have happened in our area recently!"

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book!

Jia Aisi, who had just returned, became interested and waited quietly for his father's next words.

"Our neighbor to the north actually wiped out the pirates who invaded the territory by himself. I remember that the boy from the Graman family should have just turned 15 years old now, and he actually has this ability."

Jais sneered. It was just a pirate. He said with a little disdain: "No matter how young the lord is, his vassals are still capable of doing the job."

Earl Kent continued:

"After defeating the pirates, our little earl seemed to be inflated and even took over the next door Bayerding. Speaking of which, he and Bayerding's lord Myron Garnard are blood-sworn brothers."

"There are two versions of what happened. One is that Graman preached that Garnard's vassals wanted to plot to kill their lord. As Myron Garnard's blood-sworn brother, he couldn't sit idly by. The notice had Myron Garnard's autograph, but he might have been forced."

"The other is that Garnard's vassals declared Yang, Graman coveted the wealth of Bayerding, and detained Myron Garnard in the name of a banquet. They raised an army to seek justice. Of course, it failed as expected. How could a few viscounts and barons compete with an earl, so these guys came to us..."

Jais continued his father's words: "Want us to send troops to help?"

"It's like this, Bayerding's general manager Angelo came to me every few days."

"Father, which side do you think is lying?"

Earl Kent shrugged: "It may be Graman, it may be Angelo, or both sides may be lying. Who can know? Old Garnard died unclearly, Angelo and others are inseparable, and it is an indisputable fact that Graman took over Bayerding. So, my child, it doesn't matter who is lying, what matters is..."

"Make the most favorable choice for us!" Jais understood what his father was going to say.

Seeing his son so mature, Earl Kent smiled and nodded, raised his glass and took a sip of the "drink".

"Angelo has already offered his price - half of the Bailding land. I don't know how high a price Graman can offer. I am now considering who should go to Alda."

As soon as the earl finished speaking, Emerson, who had been listening to them silently, stood up.

"Uncle Kent, if you agree, I am willing to go to Alda."
