Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

　　 Chapter 179 The Earl of Kenmes visits

　　 "My lord, Count Kenmes is here." Reddy reminded him as he entered the door.

　　 "Well, I'll go down to meet." Lorist stood up and walked to the castle gate downstairs.

　　 Count Kenmes brought nearly a hundred people to Rock Castle this time. Instead of taking a dozen attendants on horseback as in the first half of the year, he was riding in a luxuriously decorated four-wheeled carriage.

By the way, while Lorester was busy setting up more than half a million new citizens in the construction and development of the territory, the Kenmax family did not idle and came up with a joint development plan for the eastern part of the Northland. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, the remaining territorial nobles in the eastern region were all pulled into the carriage of the Kenmes family. The six or seven lords who resisted have already been killed, and those who were unable to resist or who were aware of them all voluntarily filled out the petition and entrusted the family territory to the Kenmes family for business, and they sat on their own reap, relying on generous dividends every year. Maintain a decent noble life.

　　 To put it simply, the Kenmax family has successfully mastered the eastern part of the Northland and managed it into a monolithic piece. Even the second prince had no choice but to confess this reality with his nose. Later, under the money offensive of the Kenmes family, the second prince used the Kenmes family to contribute to the transportation of the Northland, and built a chain bridge to the outside, at the Northland Nobles Association held in the first half of May. Promoting Viscount Kenmez to Earl, and naming him the Earl of Lopez, gave the Kenmez family the jurisdiction of the eastern Northland.

　　The first one who got down from the carriage was the proud Earl of Kenmes, and then two beautiful maids who were gorgeous were down. Well, the fault can only be blamed on the Norton family for never providing the service of a maid for the guests who came to the door, which made the Earl of Kenmax come to the guest room for three days last time. This time I learned my lesson and brought my maid here.

　　 Lorist greeted him and greeted him casually: "Hey, why are you back here? Is this posture to live with us?"

Earl Kenmes was not surprised. Seeing Lorist staring at the two maids, he laughed: "Why, it's tempted, or I will give you one? Tell you. They are professionally trained and are on the bed. There are so many tricks that make you happy as if you were in heaven..."

　　 "No, I'm not interested." Lorist took his gaze back: "I'm just wondering. Are you sturdy? How long have they been with you? Why haven't you been drained..."

Men can’t say no, and Earl Kenmes is no exception. Now he bent his arms to be strong: “What’s wrong with my body, I’m very strong. Don’t look at them like two wild cats, I balance them two or three times a night. no problem……"

　　 "I'm bragging. Let's go and talk to my study." Lorist curled his lips, turned his head and left.

Strangely speaking, even though the Kenmes family and the Norton family have shook hands, the Kenmes family has suffered a big loss, and it should be a deep hatred, and the Norton family’s advantage should be big enough, and it should be The family is strictly guarded, the two sides should be the kind of disharmony. But as the exchange between the two sides deepened, Lorist unexpectedly became good friends with Earl Kenmes. Even if he was standing in a hostile position, Lorist didn't hate the man, Earl Kenmes.

　　 "Every time I get here, it's like entering a robber's den, and even this castle is snatched from me..." Count Kenmes began to talk again.

　　 "I once again solemnly declare that this castle was built on the territory of our Norton family. I just drove away a group of robbers who had taken our family's territory and occupied the robber den by the way." Lorist said.

"Well, this castle is indeed built on your family territory." Count Kenmax was discouraged: "But you have to admit that the labor, materials, funds, and even the architect who designed the castle are all from me. Snatch it. Poor Master Siropa. It's still missing."

"I warn you, if you have something to say, don't circumscribe the whereabouts of Master Nasiroba and tell you. I have not served our Norton family for ten years, and I will not set him free. Besides, he is busy now. Very, if you want to build a city, please be smarter for the Kenmes family." Lorister broke through the plot of Count Kenmes in one go.

Count Kenmes shrugged: "I don't care whether Master Siropa is alive or dead, but my old man has to ask me to find out the whereabouts of Master Siropa and see if he can redeem him to build a castle for my house. Now that you have expressed your attitude, that's fine. It's not that I didn't try my best, but you made me powerless."

　　 "Punch" Lorist was amused: "Okay, tell me where you want to go with so many people this time?"

"Where else can I go, Gilduske City." Count Kenmez walked to the large wine cabinet on the side of the study, and exclaimed: "Look, there are rows of famous wines, and they are not robbers. Tell me. Which bottle of wine here did you pay for yourself? Didn’t you grab it all? Let’s not talk about the wine, look at the sofa you are sitting on, the collection of the royal family of Megis, Duke Luckins was in the royal capital of Windbub. It took more than a thousand Golden Ford to grab it in Licheng. Only a few years later, this expensive sofa arrived in your study room, but you didn’t even spend it..."

　　 "If you don't mention the robber anymore, you can choose two bottles from my wine cabinet and take them." Lorist said.

　　 "Really?" Count Kenmes was overjoyed.

　　 Lorist nodded.

　　 "Well, I won't mention the word robber anymore from this moment." Earl Kenmez began to choose wine in the wine cabinet.

　　 "I'm very surprised, it's almost November you are still running outside, don't you want to stay in your own family territory?" Lorist asked.

"Aha, my brother, for our nobles, there is no such word as wodong. Who needs wodong? Those are common people. They need to hide in the house to avoid the cold winter when the snow is full. We It’s a nobleman, no matter how cold it is, we still have noble pastimes. Hold all-night banquets, dance parties, meet beautiful and gentle ladies, recite poetry and invite dancing, and secretly meet with these ladies and ladies on cold nights, and talk deeply. Understand, this is the way our nobles spend the winter..."

"Brother, don't stay in this cold and lonely castle anymore. You should go out and see the market. This winter, the second prince will hold a series of grand events in Gildusk, all the northern nobles and even the kingdom. The nobles will bring their family members to participate. When the fragrant wind is full of beautiful women, it is a good opportunity not to be missed. If you also go to participate, I believe the second prince must be very happy. He has long wanted to know you, Megatron North The roar of the earth is angry..." Count Kenmes spared no effort to encourage Lorist to go with him to Gildusk.

"I'm not interested in participating in these boring activities. I'm busy this winter. Where can I play these romantic tricks with you. Also, don't talk to the second prince. I have an instinct. This guy treats us. The Norton family seems to be very unkind. So my attitude towards him is very clear. No matter what he wants to do, I refuse. If the second prince wants to ask me why I always refuse invitations after you go back, just say that I have always hated My eldest brother died in battle for him, but he didn't compensate for anything. The Norton family has decided to draw a line with the second prince. I don't care about him anymore." Lorist said calmly.

"Wow, you are going to rip your face with the second prince directly. I don't think this is necessary. Just maintain the hypocritical courtesy and politeness among the nobles. You can tactfully refuse the second prince's requests. , As long as you have the strength, the second prince can only swallow his anger, and dare not take what your Norton family is..." Viscount Kenmes disagrees with Lorist's decision.

"That's too much trouble. Let him choose directly. Either become the enemy of our Norton family or treat our Norton family as passers-by. Anyway, our Norton family keeps in mind the family's ancestral motto. Protect the northern border for the empire and fight them for power. There is no interest in life and death. As long as we don't provoke us." Lorist said.

　　 "Well, your family is really amazing. Now it's a troubled world, and the smoke is everywhere. It's just when the heroes are showing their skills. Don't your Norton family have any ambitions?" Earl Kenmes said, looking at Lorist.

Lorist shook his head: "Our family doesn't have that ambition. We just want to live and work in the Northland, and we don't want to participate in the game of world hegemony. It's not something a small family like ours can afford. It's just a matter of being careless. The end of the death of the dead. I just want to pass on the glory of the family. This is my responsibility and obligation as the head of the family. On the contrary, your Kenmax family has a deep background. As the largest construction chamber in the former empire, it should be I have a chance to blog."

"Haha, my brother is too much. Our Kenmax family doesn't have the guts to compare with your Norton family. To be honest, we just want to stand on the side of the winner. Currently we are still watching people place bets." Count Kenmax laughed Talking.

Lorist also laughed: "Remember to let me know if there is a good candidate. Don't eat alone. Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. This time you went to Gildusque City to abduct me here. If you have any business, please Speak straight."

"It's a matter of business to find you. First, the second prince asked me to invite you to the city of Gildusque, but you refused. Second, I will inform you that the batch of green glass and oil glass you ordered will arrive in half a month. .You have to make preparations for transportation and storage in advance. In addition, my father asked if you want green vine gum juice, we can sell you 50,000 barrels cheaper, if you lack funds, you can use iron armor to barter, we The family bought it at a high price." Earl Kenmes said sternly.

　　 Lorist smiled for a moment, "After all, your family is still beating our iron armor. Come on, how much do you want?"

　　 Count Kenmes stretched out three fingers.

　　 "Three thousand, you can," Lorist said.

　　 "What three thousand, I want thirty thousand sets of iron armor." Count Kenmax said.

　　 "Huh? Thirty thousand sets of iron armor? Don't say your family can afford it, even if you can afford it, what would your family want to do?" Lorist was very curious. Even if forty Kingford sets of iron armor, 30,000 sets would be more than one million Kingfords. Does the Kenmes family want to ruin the family?

Count Kenmes let out a long sigh: "No way, my brother, our family is also helpless. This time our family dominates the eastern part of the Northland, the biggest gain is to find a gold mine. It used to be privately by the nobles of the territory. Mining is now in our family’s hands and adopts formal mining equipment and procedures. Every year we can mine sands worth more than 200,000 Jinfu, so I don’t have to worry about our family’s repayment ability. You can also send someone to inspect our family’s Is this gold mine like I said."

After a pause, the Earl of Kenmes said again: "Do you know how much money the second prince has collected from our family this year? One hundred and twenty thousand Golden Ford, just for our family to control the Lord Lopez and let me be promoted to earl. The result was such a high price. I have received reliable news that next year the second prince will formally establish the First Legion of the Iberian Kingdom in the Grand Duchess of the North, with an organization of about 56,000. In order to prevent our family from being affected by that time. The second prince was suppressed by force and became his purse. Our family decided to also form a family armed corps, with a number of 30,000, to protect the eastern part of the Northland from the second prince."

Earl Kenmes smiled bitterly: "The troubled times are coming, and we are precarious without reliable family arms. Once the second prince wants to attack us, the eastern part of the Northland will face a two-sided attack. You should know the one built by our family. The chain bridge leads to the Makinoyuan Province controlled by Archduke Feisabrun. It can be regarded as a cocoon, with an additional enemy...

So this time the family decided to spend a lot of effort to build a reliable family armament, and spend a lot of money to equip it in place, so that it can become our family’s military dependence and family survival protection, but you know, the only two of the Iberian Kingdom The iron ore factories are in the hands of the second prince, and the iron armor and weaponry produced are difficult to shed into the hands of the nobles in our territory. There is a lack of iron in the North, and you are the only one who can provide our family with excellent equipment. In any case, my brother will help our family this time, please..."

　　The Earl of Kenmes bowed to Lorist very formally.

Lorist touched his chin and started thinking~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After a long while, he nodded: "I agree to sell your family’s 30,000 weapons and equipment. You have to discuss the specific price with Knight Strand. My idea is you The family can use food and materials instead of cash payment for this batch of weapons and equipment. If you need it, I can also provide you with a batch of military crossbows produced by the former Imperial Armament Manufacturing Co., Ltd., probably more than 100..."

　　……

　　Earl Kenmes stayed in Rock Castle for five days, bargaining with Shi Fatty every day, and finally reached a package agreement totaling 1.8 million Golden Ford. The agreement stipulates that the Norton family will provide 33,000 sets of iron armor and supporting weapons to the Kenmes family next year, including 143 military crossbows. The Kenmes family will provide half a million Golden Ford in cash, and the rest will be replaced by food and various materials. After the agreement was signed, Earl Kenmes took his attendants on the journey to Gildusk.

After sending the Earl of Kenmes away, Fatty Shi let out a sigh of relief: "The iron armor and weapons brought back by the northbound convoy finally sold more than half of them. If only we have another Earl of Kenmes. We now have all the equipment we have. It's the standard equipment of the White Lion Corps. Those iron armors are both useless and take up space. I wanted to get it back last time..."

Lorist laughed: "Don't worry, I will guarantee a prosperous business after the New Year. The Earl of Kenmes said that the second prince will form a 56,000-strong army in the Grand Duke of the North next year. Territory nobles with a little wealth will arm themselves desperately so as not to become a delicious meal in the mouth of the second prince..."
