A man separated from the crowd and walked up to Allen angrily. Even in the rage, Viscount Grall, with eyeliner and exaggerated clothing, did not look a little imposing, but looked a little ridiculous. He yelled at Allen: "Let go of your hand, **** it, what do you want to do to my nephew!"
"Uncle, save me!" Marcus shouted.
Allen said with a smile instead of a smile: "It turns out that this brave knight is the nephew of Lord Viscount, then, the rude behavior of this knight was instigated by Lord Viscount?"
Viscount Grall's face stiffened, and then roared: "How is it possible? This is slander, this is definitely slander!"
"Baron Allen, I now seriously warn you, if you don't let Marcus go, I will be rude to you!"
"You are welcome about that?" Allen seemed to have not heard him, his hands were often pressed down, and Marku's face immediately turned pale.
Glar had a heartbroken expression on his face. If the look in his eyes could kill people, he might have been torn apart by him now. Allen looked in his eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't you think that a knight who offended the baron should not be punished?"
"Are you preaching to me?" Glar sneered: "So a baron who offended the Viscount should also be punished?"
"Of course." Allen nodded solemnly.
Glar was startled, and Allen continued: "If you have that ability."
"This...what does this mean!"
"No offense, but the fact is, you can't punish me at all." Allen said coldly.
"Arrogant! This is too arrogant!" Glar opened his eyes violently, and his corners were covered with red lines. He said angrily: "Who gave you the power to dare to be so arrogant in front of a viscount!" /
"There is no one. All I rely on is my own strength." Allen said indifferently: "With my strength, I will soon be promoted to Viscount. And you, for the rest of your life, probably only Can stay in this position. However, I will continue to move forward, so you better be careful of your words and deeds. At the same time, take care of the people around you. If they bark like wild dogs, I don’t mind using my own methods. Let them shut their mouths!"
With a flick of his hand, he threw Marku back to Graal, Allen made a gesture, and Belmode followed him and left. After walking a few steps, Alan turned around and smiled brightly: "By the way, you can't even call it an obstacle on the way I am going, dear Viscount, so it's better not to do anything that makes me misunderstand. ."
"This is my personal advice."
Glar's face was blue and white. Finally, he stomped fiercely and pulled Marku away from the venue.
All this made Oban's eyes.
"What an arrogant little guy." Oban said with a smile, and shook the glass in his hand. He said: "But we just lack this kind of person. Let him kill Graar and their arrogance. Fortunately, these idiots really think that money can settle everything."
Behind the earl, an eastern man dressed in black said solemnly: "But in him, I also saw ambition. Such a person will not bend his knees forever."
"I know, it depends on whether my pool is big enough. Don't worry, Mr. Long. If you can't control him, it won't be too late to find a way. Now, I have to rely on him to deal with Daniel. "
The earl saw something suddenly, raised his glass and nodded, then walked over. The man called the dragon looked at him silently, and whispered: "I'm afraid that by then, you will have nothing to do with him."
Glancing in the direction of Alan in the venue, Long turned and left, blending into the crowd silently like a ghost.
Alan seemed to feel something, and glanced at the place where the dragon was before, but the man had already left. At this time, Roger said: "I heard that Marku is Graal's son."
Beside Belmode unexpectedly said: "Wait, isn't the rice bucket Grall's nephew? If he is the son of the Viscount Lord, wouldn't it mean..."
Roger shrugged and said: "The life of aristocrats has always been corrupted. What's so surprising. Especially the guy Graar, he doesn't seem to know what morality is. But having said that, it's rare to see Lord Ellen like this... ...Arrogant, hey."
Allen smiled faintly: “We’ve just arrived and got the Earl’s promotion. It’s only natural that we will become a thorn in the eyes of others. If we don’t be tough at this time, we’ll just make people think we’re good bullies. That’s right. Give me the opportunity to make use of the question. Of course, I have to make good use of it, so that the guys who have ideas in this day can weigh their own weight before making plans."
"There will still be trouble, but it will be a lot less, won't it?"
"So what's the plan for Lord Allen next?" Roger frowned, "Although the Earl promised, you repelled Duluf, so you will assign the three villages to you. But this territory is too much. It's small, it can't even be called a baronial collar."
"Three small villages and a thin piece of land are of course not a good thing. But what I want is not this small territory. What I want is the status of the rights given to me by this territory. This is enough. "Allen raised his glasses and gestured. After the three of them clinked their glasses and drank, he continued: "Now that we have this territory, no matter how small it is, in name I am also one of Count Aubin's adherents. This way. , There is a name to conquer Viscount Daniel. The captured town is my real territory!"
Roger showed a thoughtful expression, in accordance with the rules of the game among the nobles. When the nobles like Allen attached to the Earl of Aubin conquered new territories. The territory is nominally/will belong to the Earl of Aubin, and Allen will have the power of actual management, and he only needs to pay the Earl of Aubin every year. Once Allen's power swells and Earl Obin can't control him, then Allen can choose to leave.
Usually at that time, it will be accompanied by a series of major actions such as rank promotion, territory expansion, and army expansion. In these actions, Roger saw a lot of opportunities. For every businessman, it is always good to work with big shots. Because their world is bigger, it means more business opportunities. There are also differences between big shots. Those who sit in high positions but have been holding back will have more stable business dealings, but it also means that profits are also stable. As for people like Allen, who are constantly attacking higher levels of power, working with them is a venture capital.
That requires the businessman to judge by his own experience and vision. At least so far, Roger believes in his vision.
The banquet ended in the middle of the night, and Allen received many invitations, most of which were salon parties for some aristocratic ladies, and a small part of them came from the gathering invitations of the count’s adherents. These people can be regarded as Allen’s colleagues. Allen can refuse the party of the noble ladies, but he can't ignore the invitation of his colleagues. Otherwise, it is not only arrogant, but also rude.
After simply setting a time for the party, Allen and Roger left together. Because he had just committed the crime of Viscount Graal, Allen asked Belmode to send Roger back, so that Viscount Graal would vent his anger on his collaborator. As for Alan himself, after he declined the horse-drawn carriage from the earl, he walked back to the house where the earl arranged in the city.
For Allen, this is a rare opportunity to be alone. Walking in the night of Ark Harbor, looking at the unextinguished lights, Allen could fully feel the vitality of the city. This is the first time he has carefully observed the city since he came to Ark Harbor.
Ark Harbor has progressed a lot compared with the cities in the border land, although cars have not been seen on the streets. However, the lighting in public places and the families of wealthy aristocrats have already used electricity. Just on the outskirts of Ark Harbor, Allen could see a power station far away, using two working units, a steam engine and a hydraulic engine, to supply electricity.
With electricity, the efficiency of Ark Port’s production is naturally not comparable to that of cities in the border zone. This is also the basis for urban prosperity. However, it can be seen that the use of energy by the Balekong Empire is not really that lagging, and the Ark Port is still like this. Then the imperial capital in northern Xinjiang, the city at the heart of the empire, should be more developed.
With the understanding of this planet, Allen has gradually put away his initial contempt. Maybe the civilization of this planet has not reached the height of the earth, but if you look down on it too much, you may hate it.
What he sees now is nothing but a Balekan Empire. But this planet is so vast, who knows what else is beyond the empire?
Looking up at the night sky, Allen couldn't help but think about the couplet. At this moment, his heart moved slightly, it was the feeling of being followed. Allen kept quiet, still maintained the original speed, and turned into a remote alley. There is only one street lamp in the alley, and the light obviously cannot illuminate the whole alley. Allen walked to the street light, suddenly stood still, and then said: "Come out."
There was a breeze in the alley, and he turned his head and saw a figure standing at the entrance of the alley. It looks like he should be a man, tall, exuding an invisible pressure. With the help of the light, Alan could barely see that he was covered with a cloak, but the part exposed outside the cloak was light blue.
Obviously it is not a human being, but a different species. Alan frowned. So far, the only alien species he has seen in the empire is the Naga tribe on the St. Trina Sea. The alien in front of him was naturally not those enchanting and beautiful murlocs. This guy appeared in Ark Harbor, and he was obviously coming for himself, which made Alan feel very strange.
"I found you, my dear'brother.' This will be an interesting meeting."
The man in the cloak said, but what he said was neither terrestrial, nor the spoken language of this planet. It was another language that Alan was completely unfamiliar with. Although he couldn't understand it, he read the unfriendly taste of the words. r1058
