Vol 2 Chapter 14: Smooth opening (below)

Ruvin Frid sat at the end of an empty long table, with Erlang legs on the table. The wine glass filled with ale shook gently in his right hand, and his eyes were completely content.
The servant Will Senna of Yiyi smiled pleasingly, holding a hip flask in his hand, and respectfully served the left and right.
The meeting with the nobles of Shenlinbao had long ended, and the empty room door was also open. The black-haired wizard and Sir Aaron who finally came in saw what a proud Earl.
"It seems that your negotiation with them seems to be a success?"
Although it is an interrogative sentence, just look at his expression Loren will know the result. But the art of communication lies here-to leave room for the other party to show off, especially when the other party's identity is higher than its own.
"Let you guess!" Lu Wen, who was excited to drink the glass of wine, had a little blush on his cheek: 'I thought how hard these guys would be, and the result was unexpected, as you imagined Is completely different! "
"Indeed, when I first proposed it, most of the nobles were not very willing, and there were even many people who hoped that I could give up the plan, and all of them were miserly faces."
"They are very polite, but I have seen those expressions countless times when I was by my father's side. Those who are familiar can't be more familiar-even the year is too long to figure out which land is newly reclaimed , This kind of lie about ghosts can be told! "
The young earl scoffed contemptuously: "This group of idiots, probably think I have never been in a farm?"
"What caused them to change their mind?" The dark-haired wizard was tempted.
"You absolutely can't imagine it." Lu Wen smiled very proudly, and the excitement on his face proved that he was also shocked:
"It's Barry Senna!"
Sir Aaron standing behind was completely stunned, and Loren's mouth had a more meaningful smile-of course, no one saw it.
"In fact, I had already given up at that time, and I was ready to go hard with them. But Barry stood up and reprimanded those people a few words, and said that the Sena family will unswervingly complete this reform plan."
Lu Wen shook his head incredulously: "I still feel a little unbelievable until now. I thought he must be the one who opposed it the most."
"So the final result?" Sir Aaron recovered from the shock and asked, "How do the nobles say, how much land are they going to give up?"
"Almost one-quarter, my wizard advisor thought they would be good to make one-fifth." Because he was so happy, Lu Wen couldn't help but tease Loren: "This time we won a lot Win! "
"Of course, it's all thanks to my attendant, Will Senna!" The young earl stood directly from the chair and patted the attendant's shoulder vigorously: "If it was not for him to mediate with Barry for me, it would not There is today's victory! "
Some feared Will narrowed his neck, and he smiled with a rather embarrassed smile: "I just explained your plan with Grandpa Barry. You are really overrated, Lord Earl."
"I have told you that the Sena family has tried to do this for generations, but every time it has not succeeded; the reason why Grandpa Barry opposed it at the beginning was just worrying about doing useless work again."
"But I will succeed, and I must succeed!" Lu Wen, who was victorious, was full of confidence: "This is only a quarter, and then we will gradually implement this plan to the entire Earl's Land within a month, let Every farmer knows this matter! "
Seeing that the other party was happy to be in this way, Loren, who was still preparing to speak, chose to shut up-now no matter what he said, this Earl Lord certainly would not be able to hear it. Instead, he should remain silent.
Is that Barry Sena really willing to assist Ruwin Frid just because he understood the whole plan?
Although I have only seen a few faces, this old man is definitely not a fool, and is quite smart. He can definitely see that the core of this reform is not to win land for the farmers, that is just an excuse for Loren.
His real purpose is to establish the authority of Ruben Frid and suppress the reputation of the Sena family among the nobles-when the nobles' land is stripped and the Sena family is powerless, everyone will leave them.
Barry Senna could not have known this, so why did he do it?
Is an eye-blocking method? The price is too heavy, but just to alert these people, the old man only needs to keep silent, and he doesn't need to do this at all.
"Is there any problem?" Saw Loren asked when he was silent in Ruben, and there was some concern in his expression: "You don't look very comfortable."
"Uh ..." Loren, who pretended to be a stunned god, quickly lowered his head and smiled: "You think too much, Lord Earl. I just thought of something suddenly, so I was a little distracted."
"You actually get distracted? I really saw it for the first time." Lu Wen, who was curious, smiled and looked at him with his shoulders: "Well ... what is the matter, can make my wizard consultant change This look? "
"My two friends at Wimpar College, if you count the time, they will graduate in a few days." Loren smiled apologetically: "Originally they promised to go back to watch the ceremony, but now it seems There is no chance. "
"It turns out that way." Lu Wen stepped forward and patted his shoulder, with some regretful sighs: "Relax, since you are friends, you will still have a chance to meet sooner or later."
Is now an important step in the implementation of the plan, even Sir Aaron can leave temporarily, only Loren can't-without this wizard advisor, in case something goes wrong, Lu Wen doesn't know who to look for to solve the problem.
"Go take a good rest and write a letter back by the way." Earl comforted softly: "We will start preparing tomorrow, and I will ask you to go all out!"
"Also please allow me to leave first." Nodded slightly, Loren got up and left. Lu Wen, who has always been easy-going, didn't ask much, just nodded and acquiesced.
Turned around and left, of course, did not return to the room, but left the castle directly. After confirming that no one was around, he waved, and Asriel, who flapped his black wings, landed on his shoulder.
"I need you to follow the guy named Barry Senna ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Loren said bluntly:" He must be on my guard now, so I can only give it to you. "
"Astrael" shook his head, not interested in this proposal at all.
After considering for a moment, Loren gave up his plan to "make a deal" with Asrell, the risk is too high-he doesn't want to face another "vampire" anymore.
If this is the case, I can only give it a try. Loren is still very confident about his tracking ability. As long as you are cautious enough, you should not be caught by an old man.
Looking at the distant mountains, Loren narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed with emotion. It may be a good thing if I ca n’t go back, at least it wo n’t involve the little wizard and Isaac.
The progress of the whole plan was too smooth, and it even surpassed Loren's expectations; but the more he was, the more inexplicably he was worried.
Barry Senna can persuade those nobles to give up their land, and it will definitely not be swallowed up. This can only prove that they have a greater plot to temporarily give up their immediate interests.
And that guy named Will Senna ... If it was just a guess at the beginning, now Loren can almost conclude that he is Barry's eyeliner beside Lu Wen.
Otherwise, why did he just explain a few sentences with Barry, so that the old man can immediately change his position? Loren didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in this world.
"Ok?"
Unconsciously feeling the coolness of Loren, he unconsciously opened his right hand. The crystallized eight petals of snowflakes swirled in the air, and fell steadily on his palm to melt.
The dark-haired wizard raised his head, and the sky was already white. The white snow slowly descended, as if even time was still at this moment.
Winter is coming.
