The Emerald Tower

After passing through the bustling street and passing by the noisy crowd, the street in front of you suddenly became wider. A group of patrolling soldiers stood in front of a gate, and when they saw the Baron Jandu who walked in, they went immediately. After a salute, he slowly opened the door behind him - a door that was large enough for two carriages to pass side by side, and slowly opened from the inside amidst the sound of'creak, creak'. {First issue}

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the Xiacheng District before, the Shangcheng District is a bit quieter.

Of course, the guard must be even stricter.

Dean found at least five of these secret whistles-Dean was not surprised by this.

Even with the cautious and old-fashioned Marquis of Vauban, this arrangement is the most appropriate.

After all, in the previous life, it was this Marquis who guarded the last realm of Jade. If it hadn't been disease that took his life, he would undoubtedly be another hope for Jade.

If the Marquis of Vauban could be twenty years younger...

This was the wish of all the rebels in the Emerald Kingdom after hearing the death of the Marquis of Vauban.

Of course, Dean is also included.

After all, apart from the fact that the Marquis of Vauban was in the same camp with him, he was firmly opposed to the invasion of Siti, and more importantly, the Marquis of Vauban was the strongest supporter of the Grand Duke of Emerald.

If this were not the case, the fortress of Seandr would never appear outside the city of Vauban.

"Meeting again, old Marquis!"

Dean muttered to himself silently, his gaze turned to the higher inner city. The castle was hazy in the dark, like a sleeping behemoth.

He and each other in the previous life were after the death of the grand duke. One of the three flags of Jade. The other party and the young King. Guarded in the Cyandel Fortress, and he wandered in the lost ground, bringing hope to more resisting Emerald people, therefore, the two sides are not unfamiliar, even, it should be said that they are quite familiar.

However, the two sides met. It is very few.

In the last life, before Dean became famous, he was undoubtedly a small person.

After becoming famous, it was already time for Emerald to fall. At that time, Dean was shuttling down the ground, completing his revenge, and had no time to meet the Marquis of Vauban.

So, for this meeting, Dean was looking forward to it.

The convoy stopped in front of the suspension bridge from the upper city to the inner city, most of the entourage. It was arranged in the upper city, in the residence specially arranged by the Marquis of Vauban. And only a small number of people can enter the inner city and see the Marquis of Vauban—and in Tyrrell's party, except for the baron’s lady, only Dean has this qualification.

In fact, whether it is Tyre collar, Defendi collar, or Janer collar.

They are all representatives of each collar, with their own head guards.

Of course, the chief guard of Churd De Fendi is new.

And seeing the cramped appearance of his new head of bodyguard, Chuuld Defendi glanced viciously at Dean and the young lady of the Baron Tyre again-of course, he thought he was very hidden.

However, they all fell within Dean's sight.

In response, Dean lowered his eyelids to cover up his killing intent.

"I'm lucky to be here again at the Marquis-sama's castle! Miss Lily..."

"I need to rest later, this journey is really exhausting!"

Baron Jenle, who didn't know his surroundings, sighed loudly, and then instinctively wanted to invite the lady of Baron Tyre's house.

However, before the words were finished, the lady from the Baron Tyre refused.

"Well, it should be so, it should be!"

Baron Jenle looked at the young lady at Baron Tyre's house. When he saw Dean standing next to Baron Tyre's young lady, a trace of fear flashed across his face. He immediately fought haha.

Crunch... crunch...

With the sound of the winch turning, the suspension bridge slowly fell, and after a bang, the entire suspension bridge fell smoothly on the opposite bank where Dean and his party were.

"please follow me!"

Baron Chandu invited Dean and his party in the manner of a knight.

Dean and his entourage stepped onto the suspension bridge one after another after returning the gift.

The suspension bridge is not wide. It can only pass a carriage, but it is long enough. The turbulent river water in the moat and the dark shadows flashing under the water from time to time indicate that the defenses here are unusually strong.

The ambitious Churd Defendi looked at this arrangement with helplessness and loss on his face.

Obviously, he did not find the weakness here.

Baron Jener exclaimed from time to time, especially when he saw the strange fish with fangs that suddenly jumped out of the water in the moat.

The young lady of Baron Tyre walked quietly on the suspension bridge, her eyes swept around, her eyes full of undisguised admiration.

"The careerist, the ignorant, the kind person, and... the old fox!"

Looking at the performance of the three nobles, Dean raised his eyes instinctively, looking at the castle that was almost close at hand, evaluating the Marquis of Vauban in this way.

Although the other party is a firm supporter of the Grand Duke, and he is in the same camp, Dean does not think that there is any excessive evaluation of the other party.

In fact, Dean believes that such an evaluation is appropriate.

The simplest example: this is the ‘private auction’ that benefits the entire County of Vauban.

The private auctions in Vauban are well-known throughout the four northern counties, attracting merchants and nobles to flock to Vauban, bringing countless treasures, sprinkling a lot of Kimpton, and then taking away The “specialty” of County Vauban.

The circulation of coins and goods brought prosperity to the entire city of Vauban.

What the Marquis of Vauban paid was only to organize a ‘private auction’.

As for the cost of organizing an auction?

You must know that entering the private auction house of the Marquis of Vauban is free for the nobles, but the merchants need to pay enough Kimpton.

Simply put, the Marquis of Vauban gained everything and became the biggest winner.

After all, after the auction was successful. He will also take 10% of the tax.

As the lord of Vauban County. This marquis has this right.

and. More importantly, in the four northern counties, such an auction cannot be replicated at all.

First of all, you need great fame. Except for the Marquis of York in the four northern counties, the other two earls have no such fame at all.

As we all know, the Marquis of York has no interest in this kind of ‘commercial activities’ at all. He only cares about various military facilities, cavalry and infantry.

Secondly. Family background, you need a rich enough family background.

The Marquis of Vauban, as a noble who existed since the founding of the Emerald Kingdom, has gone through twelve generations, and his family is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, enough to convince anyone.

Finally, and most importantly: safety.

Fort Vauban, the wide moat, the towering walls, and the guards will give you a sense of security.

of course. If you are worried about safety after the auction, there are still enough people to hire in the city-these people are naturally loyal to the Marquis of Vauban.

therefore. You also need to pay for a Kimpton.

An auction has been made into a commercial chain, and has become the biggest beneficiary. If such a person is not an old fox, then who else?

As for the three southern counties?

The Grand Duke will naturally not compete for interests with her allies.

Therefore, the auction of the Marquis of Vauban has become a unique auction in the Jade Kingdom, which is held two to three times a year.

And this once again reflects the cleverness of the Marquis of Vauban-he will not be blinded by the immediate interests, he knows that enough is enough, and he knows the truth that things are rare.

If Vauban held ten auctions a year, it would have no prestige at all!

"Welcome everyone, Lord Marquis is waiting for you in the lobby!"

An old man in charge came out and greeted Dean and his party.

Immediately, the three nobles and children of nobles began to respond, and then, following the old man, through the corridor of the castle, they walked towards the inner court where the sound of music had already been heard.

Obviously, the welcome banquet is ready to begin.

Of course, the guests are not just them.

The guests from the four northern counties, and even the three southern counties, had already arrived in the hall-Dean glanced at the dress on the lady of Baron Tyre next to him, which had been changed in the carriage.

Undoubtedly, the young lady from the Baron Tyre's house had already prepared.

Of course, not only the young lady from the Baron Tyre's house, but even the straw-bag Baron Jener is in a full dress; however, that gorgeous fabric is placed on the other party's body... it's a bit violent.

The door of the inner court was open. When Dean and his party appeared under the leadership of the old man, the people inside could see it at first sight-as the last person to arrive, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Facing many sights, Dean clearly heard the rapid breathing of the two chief guards who belonged to the Defendi collar and the Janel collar.

Even the three nobles and noble children have some tension.

However, the family's good education did not make them a major mistake.

Six people walked slowly in two rows-out of etiquette, the person who served as the chief guard would naturally be one step behind his protector.

From the gate of the inner court to the stage of the banquet, there is a distance of about thirty feet.

The guests of the inner court were scanning back and forth during this time.

Compared with the previous survey, the glance at this time is obviously more stressful, especially when a few extraordinary guests in the inner court also join in, this kind of pressure has almost doubled-the one The head guard of the newly appointed Defendi leader was already sweating on his forehead.

Although the chief guard led by Jen Er did not sweat on his forehead, his steps were a bit erratic.

And the situation of the three protagonists is a bit bad--

With each step, Baron Jenel would unnaturally twist his fat body~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Baron de Fendi’s nephew had a slightly stiff smile.

As for the young lady from Baron Tyre?

Although there is a cover up in a long dress, Dean can feel that her steps have become sloppy.

"Yeah!"

And when Dean finished observing his fellow travelers and was about to look at several aggressive gazes in the hall, the baron’s lady in front of him suddenly let out a low exclamation, and then, the whole person turned unnaturally. Falling forward.

Undoubtedly, this is stepping on the corner of his skirt in tension.

"It's over, it's a shame!"

The baron’s lady closed her eyes and her heart was desperate.
