"No, there are no elf slaves in my house."
Faced with the elf's question, Viscount Shant naturally wanted to deny that he could not admit that he harbored elf slaves.
If he admits, then in addition to the anger of the elven clan, there will be conspiracies of those who are secretly calculating.
He is certainly not stupid, so of course he cannot admit it.
Viscount Sande sighed and shook his head. "I am a kind nobleman-at least compared to those who have almost no bottom line, I am quite kind."
He tried to pretend to be the usual external appearance, and he was able to ensure that the following sentence was true-because it was true.
"I work hard to develop business, instead of embarrassing people in terms of land and tax. I let many people find a job. If it is the dry season, I will even reduce the pressure on the people by reducing taxes."
Compared with his mediocre ancestors, the achievement of this Viscount Sande is enough to make him proud.
Compared with his ancestors, he saw the wealth contained in'business', so he chose to issue a series of decree to allow businessmen to pass freely in his own territory, although it is incomparable with the things done by the Principality of Sad Wind , But compared with other nobles, he is extremely biased towards merchants.
After his approach inspired business development, he thought of mercenaries and adventurers who acted with the caravan, and they would always exit the industry.
Many nobles despise these
outlaws
because when they are adventurers or mercenaries, they are one of the factors of instability in the territory, but Viscount Shant is different, he dare to say that he is a wise eye , Seeing the value of adventurers and mercenaries, so by reducing taxes and other behaviors to attract adventurers to settle down.
Although it is only a side effect, his reputation is indeed very good. In recent years, the Shant family's territory has become rich due to his practice. This is a fact that no one can deny.
Viscount Sande made the statement straight, even if it was just a ‘camouflage’, but as long as the guise is maintained for a lifetime, then he really becomes a ‘great man’!
This Viscount's disguise is indeed impeccable. Whether in daily life or when dealing with other people, he is able to show an elegant appearance, even if the taxation of the territory is only a little lower than that of other nobles, but his The attitude towards others is enough for people to support him.
Compared to other nobles, this viscount is too difficult to deal with.
Luo Ze Shan Lan took a deep breath and asked, "Then please, can you tell me, what is going on about the fact that you have elven slaves spread throughout the Kurkut Empire?"
If I knew, would you still be here?
The Viscount Sande's index finger tapped the armrest slightly, frowning slightly, pretending to think for a moment, and then shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Elf, I don't know. But probably someone or an enemy of the Shant family wants to be framed. Me? Presumably you also know that my reputation is too good to bring out the ugliness of others. If they don’t want to show their ugly side to others, they will only be able to choose to frame me and take my The reputation has reached the same level as them, so that everyone is so ugly, and they will no longer highlight their ugliness."
This statement...a bit novel!
Luo Ze Shan Lan quietly looked at the calm aristocrat in front of him. There was nothing to be critical of his performance. If he didn’t know from the beginning that he had a fellow imprisoned in this castle, maybe I really believed it.
This is a tough opponent, but fortunately, they have already prepared everything.
In this territory, he could not borrow the power of civilians, and the reputation of this Viscount was too good for him.
But it is also difficult to deal with, he will appear here!
As he said himself, maybe the nobles really wanted to borrow the hands of their elves to bring this reputable viscount to the same level as others-since it is impossible to get better, then let That good person is bad, so everyone is a'good person'.
This is ironic, but also very realistic.
Luo Ze Shan Lan's eyes were deep, and Viscount Shant didn't know what he was thinking, but it was nothing more than tempting himself to tell the truth, but he wouldn't be afraid of such things.
In this situation, more is done, more is done, and less is done, so Viscount Shant chose to remain silent and not do anything extra.
"Thank you very much, Lord Viscount."
To the surprise of Viscount Shante, the "face" of the elf in front of him calmed down.
Luo Ze Shan Lan said apologetically: "I almost misunderstood you. You are a kind nobleman-at least much kinder than other noblemen. So I am willing to believe that you and your family should have no elves Slave."
This elf... was so soft that it was so easy?
The Viscount Sande was a little surprised, but on the surface there was no color, and he looked at the elf suspiciously in front of him, feeling that his performance did not seem to be hypocritical.
Did he really accept that statement?
The Viscount Sande slightly frowned, his breath relaxed, and a soft smile reappeared on his face: "Mr. Elf, if you can understand it, that would be really great! To be honest, I welcome you Elves Come to my territory, even my castle as a guest, but it is better not to be hostile."
The Viscount finally had a little humor, and Roze Shanlan also laughed.
Afterwards, they sat in the reception room and chatted for a while. Luo Ze Shan Lan also accompanied the Viscount to have an afternoon tea, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
"I am really happy today!"
At the end, Viscount Sande breathed a sigh of relief and summed up today’s ‘harvest’,
Mr. Luo Ze, once again, I welcome your arrival, of course, the same is true of my daughter and niece.
The witty language made the nobles and elves laugh unconsciously.
"Sir Viscount, I am also very happy." Luo Ze Shan Lan smiled and shook his head, "I did not expect that I came with hostility, you can still explain so calmly to me, after the misunderstanding is resolved, you are willing to be friends with me, this ...It really makes me speechless."
Viscount Sande waved his hand generously, "It's okay, anyone will make mistakes, as long as it can be corrected in time, I won't care about these!"
"Oh? Really?" Luo Ze Shan Lan pretended to be surprised, and then teased, "His Viscount, I really made a mistake just now."
Viscount Sande raised his eyebrows, "And let's listen?"
Roze Shanlan's palm turned, and a straight branch appeared in the eyes of Viscount Shante, making the noble's smile suddenly stiff in his face.
The elf smiled shyly, and the tip of the branch instantly "plugged" into the Viscount's neck.
Viscount Sande didn’t even dare to take a big breath, afraid that this branch would go deep into his neck. He stared at the ‘smiling flower’ elf in front of him and asked hurriedly,
What do you want to do?
"I know that there are extraordinary people who protect you in secret, but I am also extraordinary." Luo Ze Shan Lan's smile gradually condensed, "I can kill you before they kill me, but also can guarantee that you can not be resurrected. Take me to my compatriots, I know you don’t believe anyone, so nobody knows where that place is. I have a good impression of you, as long as you can give me my compatriots, I can guarantee Your grievances with the elven race have been cancelled out-I can prove it in the name of the Lord God!
This is a lunatic!
Viscount Sande breathed quickly~EbookFREE.me~ Panic promised: "Okay, I promise you!"
He could not have killed the elf here, otherwise he would be retaliated against by the elven clan once he had definite evidence-no matter what the elf did before this!
The elves are all short-guarded, otherwise this elf would not be able to make such a move.
Since this elf can'take an oath' to ensure that all the grudges between him and the elf clan will be cancelled, then it can be regarded as a more satisfactory result.
At this moment, Viscount Sande was extremely regretful.
He shouldn’t relax because the elf didn’t carry weapons, and he didn’t show hostility before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in this situation!
This branch should have been broken when I went to have afternoon tea...damn it! Duke of Grief
