This is how the matter of the competition was settled.
With the end of the dinner, the enthusiastic vassal knights led them out of the mansion, and within a very short period of time, the news spread throughout the entire Stone Pass, allowing the gentlemen, celebrities, and landlords to hear the news.
Competitions are no small matter.
Even if it is a small-scale competition that is limited to the Stone Pass, many people are also concerned about it.
The vassal knights are gearing up, planning to show off their talents.
Even those landowners and merchants with small fortunes prepared the best children of their families to play. After all, this is a step. If Baron Dylan can see it in his eyes, it is probably no problem to become a knight.
Even the villages south of the Stone Pass spread the news in the shortest possible time.
But the protagonist of tomorrow's competition.
Kant, who had already returned to the room and sat on the chair, had a very calm expression.
It is still the same room as the last time I came.
The tables, chairs and wardrobes are all new, but the biggest difference is the thick fine wool blanket on the bed and the silky velvet quilt. The overall layout is many times stronger than the shabby one when we first arrived.
Baron Dylan has really earned a lot of big silver coins in just over a month.
The salt trade was lucrative and terrifying.
Kant naturally understood.
Even the vassal knights who were still wearing rough linen robes have replaced them with new soft clothes and thicker chain mail. From this, it can be seen that the salt brought by Manid last time made this Uncle Dylan's appetite was whetted.
Otherwise, coming here this time, the atmosphere would not be so harmonious.
Also held a competition for Kant alone.
You must know that when Kant was escorted from the Lion Castle through the Stone Pass, this Uncle Dylan did not show up.
Didn't even say hello.
It was as if he didn't know him at all, let alone this matter.
Sophisticated.
Kant raised the corners of his mouth slightly, it was inseparable from the involvement of interests.
The so-called kinship and friendship are often weak and powerless in the face of interests, not to mention that this is a world where power is paramount, and the so-called moral views are just ridiculous remarks that restrain ordinary people.
For the sake of title, even brothers can turn against each other, and even one's own father can be poisoned.
It's not because of interests.
At the banquet, Baron Dylan's various temptations to him were temporarily suppressed for the sake of profit.
"Hehe." Kant couldn't help but chuckled mockingly.
Thinking of that scene, provoking his relationship with Nanjun, highlighting the reality of Princess Sophia as his biological mother, all in order to make him, a former follower of his mother, become Kant's reliance.
The reason is naturally the natural salt mine that Kant mastered.
No problem, Kant also cooperates.
There is such a shield in front of him, attracting firepower for him, why not use it
face? dignity? Aristocratic decency
Kant dismissed it.
If even his own development is so weak, what's the use of paying attention to these things, I'm afraid that those greedy nobles would have eaten all the dregs left, so where would he go to prove his dignity
These are words that only the strong are worthy of saying.
"Dang Dang Dang."
There was a knock on the door, and at the same time Manid's voice sounded: "Master Kant, can I come in?"
"Come in." Kant replied.
The door was pushed open.
Manid walked in, closed it carefully with his backhand, and said softly to Kant: "My lord, it's all over. There are a lot of silver coins. They have been placed on the camels, and 10 Sarande riders have been specially arranged to guard them."
"Good job." Kant nodded.
"I plan to buy some iron tools and bring them back tomorrow." Manid said, "We are in short supply of such materials now, but there is a limit to the quantity that Jianshi Pass can sell us. It seems that we are afraid that we will smelt the agricultural tools. To make it into a weapon, you need to negotiate with the Stone Pass."
"I'll take care of it." Kant nodded and urged, "Buy more axes."
"Yes." Manid also responded.
The two talked about some common topics again, but they didn't have a deep conversation, so Manid left and went back to his room.
You can't say too much in other people's territory.
Although the rooms are connected to each other.
But who knows if the sound insulation effect is very good. Kant is very vigilant about leaking secrets in this kind of conversation. In the film and television materials of his previous life, cubicles and secret rooms, as well as secret passages for eavesdropping, are quite common.
Partition walls have ears.
Kant naturally takes care first, and cannot expose his power prematurely.
He needs to maintain a delicate balance.
... ...
Kant's vigilance is justified.
Just after the conversation between the two of them, until everyone fell asleep, under the lower floor, a thin figure slowly squirmed in the narrow secret passage, without making any sound, and returned to a room at the corner of the mansion lightly.
He left quickly and went to another room in the mansion.
Baron Dylan was sitting there with two vassal knights, waiting for him expressionlessly.
The thin figure bent down and reported everything he heard at the same time, then stood quietly in the middle of the room, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.
"Go on, well done."
Baron Dylan waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
The thin figure turned around and left immediately after saluting, very simply.
The door closes.
There were no footsteps outside the door.
Baron Dylan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "These mice are still useful."
"Of course." The two most trusted vassal knights nodded.
The Rat is a spy organization in Stone Pass. It has just developed in recent years. It was originally a member of the caravan of Baron Dylan's wife's family. However, with the recent increase in financial resources, it has also recruited many capable guys to help them. Obtained a lot of useful information and played a great role.
Baron Dylan was also very satisfied with the spying on Kant today.
"This little Kant is really young." He smiled lightly, as if he was sure of victory: "When we gain more power, we can control him."
"You are wise." The two vassal knights flattered.
"Haha." Baron Dylan smiled.
But there was a bit of hatred in the depths of his eyes: "His father assigned me here, but he didn't expect that I would get help from his son. I really want to see if he will regret it in the future."
Think about the insults you received in the first place.
And the humiliation of not being able to integrate into the aristocratic circle of Beijun now, he felt resentful in his heart.
The vassal knight complimented and said: "Master Dylan, now that you have a salt mine and mastered the salt trade, you will be able to develop it soon, and you definitely have the strength to go further."
"That's right." Another vassal knight also nodded.
Mastering the salt trade is equivalent to mastering the silver mine, and there will be a steady stream of big silver coins coming.
Baron Dylan also smiled again.
However, he still rubbed his brows, and told the two of them: "Be careful recently, our salt trade has attracted the attention of many nobles. I am very curious about so much fine white salt, and probably have sent spies over."
"We will remain vigilant." The two vassal knights nodded.
"Very good." Baron Dylan nodded reassuringly.
He was very relieved of these two knights who had followed him from the beginning.
And at this time, he also said to them: "Don't look at the fief village, if I can get a better territory, or even contact Princess Sophia's hidden old ministries, even the Principality of Lions can be overthrown, when the time comes The richer South County is our choice, not these barren North County territories!"
"We are absolutely loyal to you!" The two vassal knights immediately expressed their loyalty.
"correct."
Baron Dylan pondered for a while, but still said to them: "Behave better tomorrow and test the cavalrymen brought by Kant. These guys are definitely not ordinary people. They must have been elite knights."
"What do you mean?" the vassal knight asked.
"It's best to join us. If you don't join us, you are showing goodwill now." Baron Dylan lowered his head slightly and said, "It may be the power of the Silver Plate Kingdom. After all, when Princess Sofia was still alive, she personally supported Cameron." She took the position of Grand Duke, but before the Yinpan Kingdom intervened, the princess died suddenly, and some hidden spies have not been activated yet."
The vassal knight nodded: "Understood."
Baron Dylan was also relieved of them, but he still warned: "Don't show hostility right now. We can tear ourselves apart when we are strong enough not to rely on others or Kant."
... ...
Winds and clouds are surging in the Jianshi pass.
Even in a darkroom somewhere in the city, the spies who designed Kant were still talking about this topic.
And the spy chief had a playful look on his face.
After hearing the news of the report, I also made a decision in my heart: "Don't be impulsive."
The five spies looked at him suspiciously.
The leader stood up limping, waved to them and said, "You can leave now, remember not to be impulsive, just keep lurking, the next thing is beyond your control."
"Yes." The five spies left the darkroom.
The spy chief opened the door and went into other rooms, and took out the crystal ball again.
Bloom with light.
Some kind of mysterious connection emerges.
"Cherf, is there anything that needs to be reported to the Earl? I want to inform you that you have been using the magic crystal ball to communicate frequently recently. I remember saying that ordinary matters can be communicated by letter."
Inside the crystal ball, an indifferent female voice came.
The spy chief quickly replied humbly: "I have important news to report."
"Say." The female voice was still indifferent.
Swallowing, the spy chief quickly reported on Kant's affairs. He also pointed out that Baron Dylan had recently developed the salt trade and his strength had increased rapidly. He also speculated about the relationship between the two and the source of the salt trade.
"That's all?" The female voice replied indifferently: "Continue to monitor, and I will report this news to Lord Earl."
After the female voice finished speaking, the crystal ball dimmed immediately.
Obviously the other side has cut off contact.
With a little humiliation on his face, the spy leader turned and left with a cold snort.
PS: I recommend "Super Recruiting Warehouse" by a friend. Although it is a new book, it is very good-looking. Written by an old author, the plot and writing are not bad. And it's very exciting, I highly recommend everyone to check it out!
