The room was a little dark, and Baron Dylan deliberately made the candles a little smaller.
His distorted face was gloomy in the candlelight, and a pair of hazy eyes revealed a deep hatred that was humiliated and suppressed extremely angry.
Baron Dylan felt like the old wolf king who had been banished, but he didn't admit that he was old.
A few months ago he was in control.
Just didn't expect it.
That little brat actually pretended so well.
Or called forbearance, forbearance all the way from the Lion Castle until now, in front of him is still forbearance, when everyone let down their vigilance and really let this little brat take a breather, it suddenly broke out.
"As expected, the child of Grand Duke Cameron and Princess Sofia!"
Baron Dylan gritted his teeth.
His breathing was rapid, his fists were clenched tightly, and his knuckles made a slight clicking sound due to the force.
The current Baron Dylan is under house arrest in his own territory and imprisoned in his own room. It seems that he is still the lord of the Stone Pass in name, but in fact he is different from a prisoner!
For him with a brutal temper, life would be worse than death!
"Dang Dang Dang."
There was a knock on the door.
At the same time, a rough report came from outside the door: "Baron Dylan, your wife is here. I hope you have a pleasant chat, but the time should not exceed half an hour. Curfew is about to come."
"I see." Baron Dylan's face became even more gloomy, and he replied, but there was a bright light in his eyes.
The door opened.
A tall woman walked in.
With a little panic on his face, he walked in quickly, looked at Baron Dylan sitting in the dim room, tears streaming down his face immediately: "Dylan, oh, God of War Emond, bless you, I finally see you again."
"Hmm." Baron Dylan just nodded lightly.
This is his wife.
But he has always looked down upon.
Status determines the status. Baron Dylan wanted to marry the daughter of a noble family, but because of his background, he was rejected in various ways. In addition, he was rejected by the mainstream aristocratic circle, and he received a lot of ridicule.
In the end, he could only marry the woman from the merchant's family. Although she was rich enough, she was very humble in the eyes of the nobles.
"sit down."
Baron Dylan had always been indifferent to this woman.
Not only because of her identity, but also because this woman really has big breasts and no brains. Although she is beautiful and her family has money, her mind only knows about money, and she has nothing but silver coins.
Moreover, he secretly gave his family various benefits, and even used his status as Baron Dylan to train knights on his own. He clearly wanted to make his merchant family a step further by becoming a baron, becoming a squire. Cultivate a few knights and eventually become a little noble.
Baron Dylan saw it all, but he didn't say anything.
It is also helpful for him.
But now, when they are in danger, Baron Dylan will make good use of his wife's family. After all, he handed over the salt trade at the beginning, and now that something happened, they can't pretend nothing happened.
"Dylan, now... now..." Only his wife was still crying, panicked.
"Quiet."
Baron Dylan snorted coldly.
Looking at this woman with a pretty face and a mature charm, he didn't have the slightest idea, but lowered his voice and said, "Did you bring the things I told you?"
"Bring... brought..." Madam replied tremblingly.
"Take it out!"
Baron Dylan's eyes are shining, this is related to his future safety and hope of regaining power!
Madam hurriedly took out a small crystal ball from the private part of her bosom. It looked crystal clear, and it was inlaid with many small patterns of gold. It looked like a very exquisite handicraft.
"very good."
A smile finally appeared on Baron Dylan's sullen face.
"But...Dylan...you..."
His wife was still trembling in her heart.
As a merchant's daughter, she really didn't know how to deal with it at this time. She just followed Baron Dylan's instructions. As for her own thoughts, she didn't have the slightest idea, or she didn't have enough perspective on the overall situation.
"Go back to your room and leave it to me."
Baron Dylan smiled: "Remember my words." His face became solemn: "Don't say too much."
"Okay... okay..." Madam could only nod.
keep getting up.
That plump, mature body is as alluring as the sweetest peach.
It's just that there is still a bit of fear on the delicate face, which destroys this beauty.
In the end, she looked at Dylan with trembling eyes, opened the door silently and left, and returned to her room led by a few maids. Of course, along the way, Feng Yun's body was still invaded by those infantrymen. trembling with fear.
They are all men from the continent of Calradia, men of flesh and blood, and of course have an appreciation for beautiful things.
Including beauties.
Of course, this is also the reason why Kant and Fatis have good discipline requirements.
If Rolf was a villainous nobleman, it is estimated that he would be able to take down the peaches that still have this charm and are ripe enough to be picked at any time on the second day after entering the Jianshi Pass, singing continuously day and night.
Evil generals do not have high requirements for morality and discipline.
But Baron Dylan didn't care.
If the woman is gone, he can marry again. If he dies, if the territory is lost, then it is truly doomed!
Seeing the door being closed again, Baron Dylan's face became gloomy. He listened carefully to the sound of footsteps outside gradually disappearing. He naturally understood that it was the sound of patrols leaving every once in a while.
Now outside the gate, there are only 10 elite infantry guards.
Of course, in the opposite room, there were still 5 great knights on guard, vaguely surrounding his room.
"You really think highly of me."
Baron Dylan sneered, and the gloom in his eyes became more intense.
Take out that small crystal ball, which is half the size of a palm, and can be held in one hand. As the extraordinary power in the body seeps into it, it gradually lights up with a mysterious light as if it is charged with energy.
A wave of spatial fluctuation also emanated in an extremely secretive way.
"Master Viscount."
A faint voice came from inside the crystal ball: "It's good to come in."
"snort."
Hearing the words in the crystal ball, Baron Dylan's face became even more gloomy.
If possible, he really didn't want to contact this guy. It was this guy who urged him to lead the mercenary group. At the central station in the Nalun Desert, the entire army that was killed was defeated and he became a puppet.
But Baron Dylan didn't get angry, he knew that he had no choice now.
"I got in touch with you."
Baron Dylan narrowed his eyes: "It means that I now have autonomy. Do you have any plans to help? After all, as the Viscount of Countess Agatha, I still expect to offer my loyalty. After all, I am still a great knight!"
"Of course, as a grand knight, you are of course the loyal Viscount of Countess Agatha."
A response came from the crystal ball.
But his tone paused slightly, and his tone was almost playful: "But Lord Viscount, you have to know, what qualifications do you have now to negotiate with me, no, no, no, it seems a little rude to say that, but in other words Say, even now, what else do you have to prove yourself useful?"
"I'm a great knight, isn't that enough?" Baron Dylan narrowed his eyes.
"Not enough." The answer in the crystal ball was crisp.
"Stone Pass."
Baron Dylan hesitated, but still gritted his teeth and said his chassis.
"Haha." Hearing what Baron Dylan said, the crystal ball chuckled instead: "Master Viscount, if I remember correctly, the current Stone Pass should be in the hands of Baron Kant."
"In name."
Baron Dylan took a deep breath: "I can dedicate it to Countess Agatha."
The inside of the crystal ball smiled faintly and said, "Wow, in name, do you know it's in name?"
"Without this name, Countess Agatha would not be able to extend her hand to the North County Territory. You know, the current North County Territory is the Viscount Wayne of Fort Rogge and Viscount Kevin of Marsburg. What they represent behind the scenes is actually the friction between the top nobles and the lion prince, this statement is correct."
Baron Dylan gritted his teeth and replied that he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the North County Territory.
In other words, any noble understands the current situation.
There was a slight pause in the crystal ball.
The tone also became more peaceful: "Then, Lord Viscount, are you sure that you want to donate the territory of the Stone Pass to Countess Agatha for free, and are you willing to bear some consequences?"
"No, it's not free." Baron Dylan squinted his eyes and vetoed it.
"Please say."
It was expected in the crystal ball.
Slightly pondering, Baron Dylan said in a deep voice: "I need a new territory, whether it is the North County Territory, the East County Territory, or the territory opened up in the wilderness farther away, I need the Countess Agatha to give me , and at the same time give me a certain amount of help so that I can develop in the new territory."
"Oh, this request is not low." The crystal ball replied and asked, "Then what else can you do?"
"The inside should cooperate with the outside."
Baron Dylan squinted.
He clenched his hands slightly, and said to the crystal ball in a deep voice: "I know the secret passage in the pass of the rock, and I can arrange for troops to enter the secret passage without being discovered. After all, this was my official residence, and I know everything! "
"Very good." The crystal ball chuckled again: "Countess Agatha agreed."
"good."
Baron Dylan nodded, the gleam of the crystal ball in his hand dimmed slightly.
This is due to lack of energy.
He glanced at the door and said shortly: "I am willing to dedicate my loyalty to Countess Agatha. This call crystal ball can talk at this time every day. You can inform me secretly of the specific plan."
"Okay, Lord Viscount."
The voice in the crystal ball replied: "Just follow the arrangement of Countess Agatha."
"yes."
Baron Dylan responded.
And at this moment, the crystal ball in his hand also flickered a few times, and finally completely dimmed.
He looked at this delicate little object in his hand, the resentment in his eyes and the gloomy face almost distorted him like a demon from hell, but he took a few deep breaths and still managed to calm down.
There are fierce tigers in the front and hungry wolves in the back. He has no choice but to compromise to save himself.
