After listening to the first will that Auban said, the clerk buried his head in the book and recorded exactly what the earl said. Others exchanged glances, and Graar gave a dry cough and stood up and said: "Lord Earl, Baron Alan has always been a young man, I'm afraid it will be difficult to play the role you requested. Do you have to reconsider other things? Candidate?"

Oban smiled and said: "Glar, my friend. You don't need to worry about this. Although Baron Alan is young, his abilities are obvious to all. I believe he can do a good job as an overseer, if he If it is not done well, there is only one possibility, that is, he is unwilling."

Allen stepped forward and bowed and said, "Don't worry, count, I'm happy to accept this job."

He glanced at Graar lightly, smiling silently.

Glar snorted and backed away, knowing that Orban's decision could no longer be changed. Oban cleared his throat and said: "20% of the assets in my name are given to Delly. She has done her best to be a wife and a mother, and is eligible to get these."

Daily is the earl’s wife. After hearing Orban’s words, she murmured: "I don’t want your assets. I only want you to be well, dear."

"The other 20% will be shared equally by Farr and his brothers and sisters, and 40% will go to my eldest son Giles. The remaining 20%..." Auban looked at Ruola and smiled: "That is Belongs to Ruola’s property."

"Brother, I don't need these." Ruola shook his head and said: "Gills needs them more."

"No, you need it. Without this property, it would be difficult for you to have a place in the family of the Marquis of Iron Spear." Oban said flatly, obviously he had already considered Rola.

Without giving Ruola a chance to refuse, Oban continued to draw up his will. After a reasonable and fair distribution of his private assets, his title was inherited by Giles, and Giles naturally became the new lord of Ark Harbor. Not only did he have to manage the existing territory for Orban, but he also had to take care of the business of the jade pearl trade group, as the saying goes.

Oban arranged for him a few more candidates who could help. These people were all members of the team that had been with Oban for a long time, including the butler of Mace. They can make important suggestions to Giles from the aspects of daily communication, politics and business dealings, and they are the auxiliary force left by Oban to his son.

Finally, Oban called Giles over, reached out and patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Gills, I know that it’s too early for you to put these heavy burdens on you."

Gills shook his head and said, "No, father. I'm ready."

Oban said happily: "You have grown up, so I will be relieved."

He looked at the clerk and said: "In terms of territories, this is how I allocate them. Giles' management includes Ark Harbor, and all of my original territories are entrusted to him. As for Daniel's territory , Including those territories including Sunset City, Castle of Dawn, and Bauhinia Collar. Sir Allen is solely responsible for it. Sir Allen only needs to pay relevant taxes every year in accordance with the regulations, and the management of the territory and all other related matters Policy, he has complete autonomy."

The clerk trembles when he hears the pen, even he understands the meaning of the five words "complete autonomy" in Orban's mouth. That means that Alan is a vassal on the surface, but in fact he is already an ally, an ally recognized by Oban. Allen only maintains a formal vassal, but Giles, the new earl, cannot interfere with him and the affairs of the territory, as long as Allen pays taxes in accordance with the regulations every year.

In this way, Allen can develop armaments and expand the army according to his own wishes and capabilities without having to get Giles' consent and approval. For Giles, such a vassal is undoubtedly dangerous. In particular, Allen owns all of Daniel's original territory, which is a huge blow to Giles.

Although Giles hasn't formally managed the territory yet, he knows a little bit about it. Hearing Oban's decision, he said anxiously: "Father, are you giving Sir Allen too much power?"

He is still too young to ask questions tactfully. Raising this sharp question directly in front of Allen is a kind of harm to Allen or Oban. Allen just smiled, he believed Auban would give Giles an answer. Glar looked at Ellen and Orban from the corner of his eye, guessing in his heart that the two must have negotiated some conditions in private.

Oban smiled weakly and said to Giles: "Trust me, boy. This arrangement is the best for you. With your current ability, you can't take care of that much. There is Alan. Sir help you, and you will become an outstanding earl."

"But, father..."

He wanted to say something, but he shook his head and interrupted Oban: "Okay, Giles. I'm already very tired, so don't interrupt me anymore, just listen carefully. The decision I made, There are also these arrangements, all for this territory and you. You may not understand it now, but you will definitely understand why I did this in the future."

"I see, father." Giles murmured, and he turned his head and glanced at Alan, an imperceptible bit of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Allen sighed softly, knowing that Giles still couldn't understand Orban's arrangement. In this case, the two of them may not get along as pleasant as Oban thought.

Oban added some additional things, mostly personnel arrangements. Like Glaer, he changed a position in the trade group. One shows that it seems more powerful, but in fact, according to Orban's plan, it will gradually become a dispensable role. These plans have been drawn up by Oban, but they are now implemented by Giles. As long as Giles doesn't make any mistakes, then three to five years later, Graar will gradually fade out of the circle of power. When he found out, it was done, and he was exhausted.

It took a morning and the will was finally completed. In the afternoon, the clerk sorted them into formal documents and gave them to Obin, Allen, and several other witnesses for review, and after ensuring that they were correct, the relevant people signed their names on the will. Allen was the last to sign, and Oban asked him to stay after finishing the matter.

"Daniel is a vassal of Rekerd. Now that Daniel is dead, it is impossible for Rekerd to let Daniel's territory remain unowned. You may have to consider how to deal with this problem." Auban said: "Daniel There is also a son, you can make him a nominal lord, which will also facilitate the transfer of power in the future."

Alan smiled and said: "Thank you for your suggestion, Lord Earl. But in fact, I have already visited the Unicorn Castle once before coming here. At that time, one of Earl Reckard’s nephews was already busy receiving Daniel. It’s unfortunate that the Viscount’s territory, I happened to go with Master Unter."

Oban got an idea as soon as he heard it, and then he smiled and said: "Then I'm really worried about it. You know it's best to do this. Then Ellen, what are your plans next?"

"After all, Sir Daniel’s territory has just been defeated. What we need to do now is to stabilize the minds of the people. I will probably not expand for a while. Stabilize the territory, accumulate development potential, and Ryan My husband is ready to deal with. Maybe I will go to the Imperial Capital to see some big people. But before that, I have to go back to Storm City first, and there are some things that need to be dealt with."

Oban nodded and said: "You can go to Metz, and he will arrange a boat for you to go back."

"I see, it's not early, count, rest."

"It's okay, you go work on your affairs. The will has been finalized. You don't need to come to me to waste time, do what you should do."

When Alan left, the countess happened to come in. When turning around the oriental-style partition, Allen saw Madam Delly cleaned the earl's wound herself, and they all had plain smiles on their faces. The afternoon sun fell into this room quietly, and the scene in Allen's eyes was full of warmth. But he knew that there was not much time left for the earl and the lady.

Metz's work efficiency really didn't have to be said, the next day he had found Allen a merchant ship to Violet Harbor. But now the merchant ship will not set sail until a few days later, and Allen is not in a hurry for these few days, so he stays in the three-story building arranged by Oban. In the afternoon of the same day, Belmode finally came back. He heard that Allen was in Ark Harbor, so he met him directly.

Since they separated from Lily outside the Orca Harbor, Belmode and Kira were sent by Taylor to another port, and then transferred back to Ark Harbor by passenger ship. After meeting with Allen, Belmode was also surprised to learn from Allen that these things happened during this period. From Belmode, Alan also learned about the changes that took place in Orca Harbor, and at the same time knew Eric's strength from another side. This is undoubtedly important information for Allen, at least for Eric in the future, he will not be completely bottomless.

"Yes, master. Mr. Taylor seems to be interested in cooperating with us. He is one of the agents of the Naga clan in the empire. Although he lost some of the superficial properties of Orca Harbor, his business should be more than that. ." Belmode added: "But now he has to deal with some things, I'm afraid he can't come to Ark Harbor in a short time."

Allen nodded and said, "I also plan to go back to Storm City. Butler Mace has arranged the boat for me and set sail in three days. Come together."

Belmode naturally had no objection. Seeing that there was nothing else, Allen let him go to rest. As soon as Belmode left, someone came to visit again, but it was Roger. After many days of absence, the two inevitably exchanged greetings. After sitting down, Roger went straight to the subject and said: "Is Earl Aubin's situation not optimistic?" r1058
