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

"Uncle Kent, if you agree, I would like to meet Earl Graman."

Emerson immediately stood up and said that he was willing to go to Arda for Earl Kent.

This is a good opportunity to consolidate the relationship between the two families. For a vestry noble like the Wilder family, it is extremely necessary to have a feudal noble as a strong supporter.

Emerson said happily: "I feel much more relieved when someone like you who can speak well goes there."

Kent and his son talked about such a thing in front of members of another family without any sense of discomfort, because their two families can be regarded as a community of interests.

If Emerson can participate, then after the Kent family obtains the expected benefits, the Wilder family will definitely be indispensable.

"Uncle Kent, where should I start after I arrive in Arda?"

Emerson has roughly understood the course of events from the conversation between Kent and his son, but he still plans to ask Earl Kent for advice.

Earl Kent touched his smooth chin, thought for a while, and said after a long time:

"Let's start with the words of the vassals of Bayerdin. If the other party has sufficient evidence..."

"In our place, Duke Ferdinand of the Northwest is the biggest vassal of His Majesty the King. Humph! Graman took over the neighboring territory by force without even asking the Duke. He doesn't take the Duke seriously."

"Even if the truth of the matter is as he said, it is up to Duke Ferdinand to make the decision. It is not his turn to act rashly."

"When you go there, grasp this point and see how the little earl responds."

Emerson said he had taken note, and then asked: "So what do you want from the Graman family, Uncle Kent?"

The Earl did not answer this question, but took out a piece of paper and handed it to Emerson.

Emerson glanced at the paper, carefully put it away, and said, "I will definitely not let you down."

The Earl drank the "drink" in the glass, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile:

"This little Graman is young and hot-tempered, and he does things without considering the consequences. Sooner or later, he will cause great trouble to his family. So I have to teach him a lesson for his deceased father."

"Uncle Kent is really painstaking in educating the younger generation. I really admire him."

"Hahaha!"

The three people laughed loudly in the restaurant.

So far, the three people present have not considered what to do if Paul Graman refuses their request, because in their opinion, this problem is not a problem at all.

The Kent family is a powerful family in this area second only to Ferdinand, the Duke of the Northwest. There are more than 50 knights directly under the family, and there are 10 vassal baronies in the territory, and each baron has a different number of knights.

As long as he gave an order, he could gather a team of about 100 knights. Who dared to underestimate such a force in the Northwest Bay area?

There was no need to say more about Alda. Even if Paul Graman expelled the pirates and annexed Bayerdin, could he build a force that could rival the Kent family in such a short time?

Therefore, Graman might hesitate and bargain, but he definitely didn't have the courage to refuse.

Soon, Emerson set off for Lake Heart Town.

...

To Emerson's surprise, he ran into a snag as soon as he arrived at Lake Heart Town.

After arriving at Lake Heart Town, his biggest feeling was that the streets were very clean. After he came to the northwest, he didn't stay in the Earl of Kent's territory all day, but visited many places, but all the towns he visited were dirty.

"This is a good place to live." With this idea in mind, he came to the castle gate of Lake Heart Town.

Emerson revealed his identity as a noble of the capital and an envoy of the Kent family to the guards on duty, saying that he had something urgent to do to find Earl Graman.

After the guards went in to report, a man dressed elegantly soon came out.

He was very surprised: "Strange, shouldn't Earl Graman be only fifteen or sixteen years old? This man must be more than twenty years old, right?"

The elegant man walked up to him and made a courtesy, saying: "I am Earl Graman's secretary - Bernard Francis, please follow me to the reception room."

Emerson felt offended all of a sudden!

He represented the Kent family, which ranked second in strength in the Northwest Bay area, and he himself was also a noble, and he had just made it clear to the guards.

It would have been fine if the other party did not come out to greet him in person, but he actually sent a clerk to get rid of him casually, which simply showed that he, Emerson, and the Kent family were not taken seriously at all.

During the past six months in the northwest, Emerson had visited other families in other territories. When they learned that he was a relative of the Kent family and a royal noble, they flattered him and entertained him wholeheartedly, which unconsciously made him develop an extremely conceited mentality.

"Please lead the way!"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Emerson adjusted his mentality, put aside his unhappiness for the time being, and followed Bernard to the reception room of the castle.

Bernard asked respectfully: "Excuse me, what is the matter with the envoy coming here?"

Emerson shook his head: "I can only tell Lord Graman in person to ask him to meet me as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, the man who called himself Bernard said, "Lord Graman is busy with other matters now. I am his chief secretary. You can tell me anything and I will tell Lord Graman word for word."

"I'm sorry, I can only tell Lord Graman in person!"

Emmerson emphasized again. Although he said sorry before, his tone was a little unfriendly.

Bernard was very depressed. He didn't know how he offended the envoy in front of him. The tone of his words just now clearly contained a hint of intimidation.

He recalled Paul's schedule and said helplessly, "Mr. Envoy, if you insist on seeing Lord Graman, you can only wait until tomorrow afternoon. The Earl's schedule before tomorrow afternoon is already full."

Paul once told him the priority of various matters. For example, if the lord of the same level sent an envoy to see him, if the other party was not here to declare war or discuss business cooperation, then he would be put in the back.

Since Emerson was unwilling to speak, Bernard had to put him aside.

Emerson got angry after hearing this!

Before he came, he had inquired about the Graman family carefully. Because they stood on the wrong side in the court struggle, they were exiled to the Northwest Bay and were forbidden to enfeoff vassals. Not to mention formal nobles such as viscounts and barons, there was not even a regular knight.

A family like this, which was not even as good as those slightly stronger viscounts, dared to ignore the envoy of the Kent family.

"Okay, okay! Then I will wait for the meeting with Lord Graman tomorrow afternoon."

Emerson did not get angry but laughed. He decided to play with this young earl who did not know the height of the world.
