The potential that a person can burst when he escapes is never imaginable.
On the fourth day after Yulian and others returned to the Twilight Forest, the noble coalition of the Bird family and the Zak family also returned to their respective families. From this point of view, Viscount Bird and Della are still somewhat military talents. . After all, retreating in a battle is no easier than charging. If there is no effective way to organize the personnel and evacuate in batches, I am afraid the entire team will be chaotic. But this is not the point. After the two noble coalition forces returned, Viscount Byrd and Derabian were immediately called by the two family patriarchs. After listening to their detailed reports, the patriarchs of the two large families did not hesitate and immediately The decision was made by the clapper board—a defense agreement was signed!
Compared with the country’s rulers and generals, the views of these nobles are more realistic. They are well aware that with their own strength, it is impossible to resist a country's attack. What's more, Wester is actually falling apart and there is no way to organize effective resistance. Of course, these "national events" are too far away for the civilians they rule, and they do not understand them. But those rumors are inevitable. Therefore, these nobles need to make some gestures. They must show the people under their rule that they have the ability to protect them. Therefore, proper mobilization and gestures are necessary. But in private, they must make a real decision-a decision that really benefits themselves.
For the residents of the Twilight Forest, they are used to getting in and out of the carts and horses of the big nobles, although generally speaking, nobles are flying and domineering in the hearts of many people. But in the eyes of the inhabitants of the Twilight Forest, these nobles have no such notoriety. On the contrary, most nobles who come here are very cautious and polite, and rarely show the nobles' attitudes and attitudes.
For this change of nobility, many people are not sure why this is. Some older people are vaguely guessing that this may be related to their young lords, but this is not their own identity after all. Thing, and it’s not a bad thing for them.
But for nobles, they also don't care what these civilians are thinking.
"Master Yulian, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Sitting on the soft and comfortable seat in front of him, Keller could not conceal his inner excitement and excitement. As the head of the Zac family, Keller himself did not rely on his own strength to come to power, so in terms of running the family, he also Some lack of confidence. As early as when Yulian announced the termination of the defense relationship with West, Keller was very nervous, for fear that Yulian would also cancel the agreement with the Zac family at the same time. After all, although he has already relied on his own power to gradually smooth out the dissonant voices in the Zac family, the final knighthood is really an excessive enamel on the balance. If he leaves him, then the original inside the family The sound that was finally appeased, I'm afraid it will be revived again.
Because of this, this time when Keller traveled, he came with the goal of making good relations with Youlian. He had decided to hug the big tree of the endless knighthood anyway, so as to avoid the branches. .
So, as soon as he came, Keller greeted Youlian eagerly, trying to narrow the relationship between the two parties.
"Hello, Master Yulian, let's meet for the first time."
The old patriarch sat on the chair calmly and nodded to Yulian with a calm smile. As the patriarch who has run the Bird family for decades, he is naturally not as anxious as Keller. This is not determined by character, but by his own strength and experience. In any case, the old patriarch did not have family conflicts and pressure like Keller, so his performance was also very calm.
"Welcome to the two patriarchs."
As for the two people's greetings, Yu Lian, as always, responded politely and decisively. He made a few gestures at random to welcome him.
"Frankly, I did not expect that the two patriarchs and adults would come to my territory at the same time. This is a great honor. I almost thought I was a big man."
Generally speaking, as the head of a family, he will not leave his territory. First, there are many things to deal with. Second, the head of the family is the incarnation of the family. Everything they do will represent the family’s interests, face, reputation, honor, and other issues. And because of this, unless it is some alliances, and the family heads who have very good personal relations, will meet outside the private banquet, that is, meet at the palace meeting. Generally speaking, in weekdays, the patriarchs of the major families will not come forward, no matter what the agreement between the families, or the banquet, most of them will only send representatives to participate. Because among the nobles, if these patriarchs do this, they either declare their close relationship with other families, or they are shorter than the other.
Now, in terms of "regular" status, Yulian is still a noble lord, and the two sitting in front of him are the patriarchs of the two large families. Therefore, according to the noble level, this is equivalent to these two. The family bowed to Yulian.
"Master Yulian, you are really laughing."
Keller smiled bitterly and glanced at the elder patriarch of the Bird family. The other party can follow the age, but he can’t. No matter from what angle, he must have a good relationship with the young lord. Only in the future can we go.
"When the Final Knights became famous, our two families were just little nobles. How could they be compared with your identity. And, I don't tell you that I have heard many heroic deeds of the Final Knights. The knights are really admired for their power..."
"You're welcome, we are just doing what we can do, and finally the Knights have always kept their promises. I think you should be very clear about this."
"This... I certainly understand."
Keller made a haha. In fact, he had also investigated all the matters of the Final Knights, but frankly, there was really nothing to boast about. According to historical records, from the appearance and disappearance of the endless Knights, what they have done is something that has caused headaches for the mainland, but the other party's strength is strong and no one can control it. This also caused many people to be dissatisfied with it, so rumors circulated rarely develop in the good direction, so even if he wanted to flatter, he could not find any topic, not to mention if one was wrong, Instead, the other party is very unhappy, then the consequences are even more serious.
Thinking of this, Keller glanced involuntarily at the Patriarch Patriarch. Why didn't the other party react? When would you say the defense agreement? Of course, it doesn't matter if you look at Yulian, this is normal. For this lord, what defense agreements are meaningless, even without these agreements, he can still live his life in peace. But they can’t do it. The Sith empire has broken through the red fortress. Although the anomaly did not advance immediately, the strength of Esis is only three or five days to advance to their own territory. , What do you do against the Sith Empire?
But when Keller could not calm down, the old patriarch finally smiled and then spoke.
"Master Yulian, now that time is running short, I think that we have already understood your intention. So, let's go straight to the topic."
The Patriarch Paid did not have as many turns as Keller, and as soon as he came up, he went straight to the topic. But in his tone, he could not hear the meaning of urgent demands. Seeing this, Keller nodded secretly. Although the two big families are companions, they are also opponents. Sure enough, is old and spicy, even if it is a sentence of the same meaning, as the old patriarch said, neither humble nor overbearing, just the right tone, but completely without the kind of polite feeling that he was worried about.
"Ok."
Regarding the old patriarch’s speech, Yulian didn’t say much. He nodded quickly, then snapped his fingers, and Charlotte received a signal and immediately smiled softly and well. The agreement was placed in front of these two patriarchs.
"This is my adjutant, the agreement drafted by Miss O'Falil, please have a look at the two."
"Ok."
Keller did not respond to Yulian's remarks. He responded quickly and then focused his attention on the agreement in front of him. But when the elder patriarch heard this sentence, his face changed slightly, and there was a trace of pain and regret in his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed the emotion and calmly picked up the agreement before him.
The content of the agreement is not much, but its terms are very strict. According to this defense agreement, the final Knights will help when these two families are attacked by foreigners. However, their goal is very clear, only defending. They will never participate in any war that attempts to occupy and expand territory. Moreover, it is mentioned in the agreement that they will only defend according to the existing borders, that is to say, even if the two families occupy more land, the final Cavaliers will not be responsible for defense. If someone is attacked, it is still deserved to fight back.
Subsequently, the agreement also stated that the assistance provided by the End Yan Knights is limited to a maximum of three times a year. If they are required to exceed the limit, they will need to pay an additional price, and then the End Yan Knights will come. Decide if the situation requires their action, and then talk about it later. Although the wording in the agreement is very elegant, its internal meaning can only be summed up in one sentence-I will come when I am happy, and I will not come if you are not happy.
I have to say that the contents of this defense agreement have made the heads of the two families somewhat surprised, but the more they look down, the deeper their hearts are.
The above is the obligation that the final knights "want to" complete, and then the benefits they "should" get.
According to this agreement, the two families must give Twilight Forest 10% of their income every year, and whether they are attacked or not, they must give this part. Subsequently, there are two families that must provide a series of preferential measures in many fields such as trade with Twilight Forest to ensure the development of Twilight Forest.
Although most of these measures are difficult to accept, they are still within the tolerable range, but when seeing the last one of them, not only Keller, but even Patriarch Patriarch is curiously wrinkled. Frowned.
"Master Yulian."
After carefully examining the entire agreement, Keller hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. Although he had already had the psychological preparation for this agreement to be overbearing before coming, but after carefully reading, Keller could not help but take a breath. This agreement is not just overbearing, it is overbearing!
Although there are a lot of complicated contents on it, it is very simple to sum up-I only help you three times a year, and only deal with those who hit you on your existing site. I only send one at a time. After three opportunities have been used up, you have to come to me again. As for whether to send someone or not, I have to decide my mood. But on the contrary, no matter whether we are busy or busy, you can't lose the benefits at all.-The grace is on the top. Such an agreement, if it is the usual thing, who will sign it!
However, Keller also knows that this is not the usual period after all. Although he can choose another way, that is to simply and greet the Sith Empire Army, and then decisively become the people of the empire. But he was not able to do so. After all, these nobles were the nobles of West and not the nobles of the Sith, so the Sith Empire would naturally not trust them to take care of this territory. By that time, either kill them all, or just grab them and send someone to fill the vacancy. Anyway, these big nobles have nothing to end. This is also the reason why they have to resist by clenching their teeth—civilians defeated at most only to change the ruler, but as the
replaced
one, their days are not so good.
But although these terms are harsh, they are also around the word interest, but this last requirement...
"Excuse me for being rude. I can't understand this one..."
With that said, Keller reached out and pointed to the last paragraph of the treaty.
"Why would you ask us to handle all immigrants? This..."
"Just as the treaty says."
You Lian said, raising a tea cup and smiling.
"Twilight Forest does not intend to accept large-scale immigration, so I hope that the two of you can manage your people. Valhalla does not accept any immigrants without my permission. Whether he is a civilian or a noble. If If they have to plan to enter by force, then I will take a harder approach. However, as for me, the troublesome things can be less, so I hope you can help me care if someone wants this It’s better to dissuade them from giving up this plan. I think, do you understand what I mean?"
"This also includes refugees?"
Keller hadn't answered yet, but the old patriarch Bird had already asked. He stared quietly at Yulian, waiting for the other party's answer.
"Yes."
Yulian shrugged.
"If your family doesn't plan to deal with it, then throw that group of refugees in, but if your family chooses to accept it-that is also your problem, I hope that it will not involve me at that time."
"I understand what you mean, Master Yulian."
Hearing this, the old patriarch lowered his eyes and nodded.
"The Bird family agrees to this agreement."
"The Zac family is the same."
Originally, Keller planned to fight for some details in the agreement, but after hearing that Old Bird had already agreed, he could not fight for too much, so in desperation, he had to follow the other party's words. Made an answer. I have to say that for Keller, this is quite a bit like catching ducks, but now, not only for the support of the Final Knights, but also for Yulian’s feelings, so even if there is so much rashness, But at this moment it is no longer enough.
"well."
From the start of the agreement, until the two sides made a decision, Yulian has maintained the smile on the face has not changed. Until now, the patriarch of the big family finally made the same decision. He didn’t seem to care about this at all, and it didn’t matter what the other party would think about it, and he wouldn’t even think about whether this agreement needs to be revised—since O'Falir said to him that it was already the most perfect finished product. , Then he does not need to care about anything.
Thinking of this, Yulian stood up and extended his right hand.
"So, happy cooperation, the two."
"Happy cooperation, Master Yulian."
Although Keller smiled with a warm smile and held the hand extended by Yulian, but at the moment, his heart was in pain and bleeding. The graciousness is on, so how much resources will the Zac family spend to buy this agreement!
"So..."
However, just when Keller let go of her heart, another sentence of Yulian made his heart mention his throat again.
"I have another little thing that needs the help of two people."
Yulian said, take a piece of paper from his drawer.
Isn't it right?
At this moment, Keller really had the idea of ​​unraveling the flag. However, the following Yulian's speech surprised him greatly.
"Since I have reached an agreement with the two, then I will not hide the two... Maybe the two have realized that I do have a source, and I have enough craftsmen to make magic. Items. However, the materials are a troublesome issue, so I want to see if there is any of these materials in the two families, if so, I can buy them at a high price, and I can provide some magic for the two families. Technological finished products."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, whether it is Keller or the patriarch is bright!
Magic items! They finally heard the second good news after the end of the Knights promised to protect their territory! If you can really get the magic items, then even without the assistance of the final knights, they have enough strength to prevent some small-scale attacks!
After all, three opportunities are very valuable.
"So, do you need..."
"right here."
With that said, Yulian pushed the paper in his hand. At the moment, the two patriarchs were disregarding their scores, and stood up one after another, carefully watching the paper in front of them—and when they saw the first line above, their expressions couldn’t help but stun. Too.
Looking down, the two's expressions are even more weird, and after watching them from beginning to end, this time, even the old patriarch who had been calm before, could not bear it at last.
"This... Lord Yulian, frankly, I can't do anything with this material..."
"There really isn't... Lord Yulian... If you need financial support, the Zac family will definitely help, but..."
Keller's expression was also embarrassed. Obviously, for him, even if he sold the entire Zac family, he wouldn't get these things.
"Well... I understand, I'm sorry, but I made redundant things to the two."
You Lian was not surprised by the reaction of the two patriarchs. It was just that everything was in case. The reason why he took it out was just to ensure a look. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the reality is not like he imagined. So smooth.
"So..."
Just when Yulian was going to end the talk, Charlotte suddenly came over, and then, softly reported something in his ear. Hearing Charlotte's report, Yulian raised his eyebrows, then smiled with a smug smile.
I did not expect that they came so fast. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
