"It's really not very good." Allen's eyes fell on the cup of black tea on the table. The dark red liquid was slowly swirling because of the stirring with the silver spoon just now, and some fine bubbles floated up: "But Mr. Roger , it’s best not to inquire about these things, it’s not good for you.”

Roger nodded. Of course he knew that speculating on an earl's physical condition was tantamount to inquiring about secrets. If outsiders knew about it, it would not be of any benefit. He changed the subject: "Recently, I met a big man, Mr. Allen. My business may develop to the imperial capital. Even if I can't go to the empire, I can still enter the circle of Granier."

The imperial capital Olisga, or Granier, are both important places in the north. They were the political and economic center of the empire, the heart of the empire. Every businessman hopes that his business can be done in such a city. Now that Roger has found the way, it's no wonder he looks excited. He is not a person who expresses his thoughts easily, but the harvest is too huge, so huge that Roger can't hide it.

"Oh, which big shot is it?" Allen asked casually.

Roger smiled and said: "His name is Rein, and he seems to be from a certain big family in the imperial capital."

"Line? It's him?" Allen said unexpectedly. If it was Rein, it would not be difficult to take care of Roger's business. I don't know whether this Lain and Roger cooperated by chance, or whether he knew the relationship between Roger and him, so there was such an arrangement.

If it is the latter, it means that Rein knows a lot about him, but the relationship with Roger is not a secret. As long as there is a caring person, they can dig out their relationship by inquiring about the news a little bit.

"Why, Master Allen knows him?"

Allen nodded: "Well, I only met this person through the introduction of Count Aubain."

Hearing that Oban also knew him, Roger felt more relieved, so that at least there was no problem with Rein's identity. The two chatted a little more, mainly about certain details of future business dealings in the territory. It's like Allen intends to support Roger as an agent in the commercial aspects of his territory. Allen plans to set up a chamber of commerce to facilitate the management of merchants in the territory. Roger was the first chairman of the chamber of commerce, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Roger.

You must know that Allen's current territory is actually not much smaller than an earl, and a large enough territory will naturally bring enough business opportunities. And what the chairman of the chamber of commerce means, Roger is very clear. While Roger was happy, he felt a little in awe of Allen again. Even he knows how powerful the chairman of the chamber of commerce is, how could Allen not know.

Wait like a chamber of commerce in an earldom,

The chairman is generally held by the lord, so that he can personally grasp the economic lifeline of the territory. Taking Ark Harbor as an example, the owner of the emerald pearl is Euban himself. After Aubain's death, this position was naturally inherited by Gilles. Even if Earls like Oban were like this, Allen delegated the entire power to Roger. There are only two possibilities for Allen to do this.

One is that he has no idea how important this position is; the other is that he thinks he can control the chairman of the chamber of commerce. Roger believed that Allen belonged to the second type. As for where his self-confidence came from, Roger didn't want to think about it. Allen's courage to let go alone is enough to make Roger awed.

After sending Roger away, Allen received an invitation letter. The invitation letter was sent by Gilles, and the content was to invite Allen to attend a small private banquet hosted by him tomorrow night. Allen gave the sender a clear answer that he will definitely participate.

Obviously, the youthful Earl of Gilles has already started to deal with affairs in the territory. The banquet tomorrow night will be his first formal social event, and Alan, who is clearly still a vassal, naturally has no idea of ​​​​refusing. It is conceivable that Gilles will test some of his ideas through the banquet, and Allen can naturally find out the young earl's future plans for the territory in turn.

Anyway, there are still two days before the merchant ship sets sail, and Allen doesn't want to miss this important banquet.

The next evening, Allen changed into a well-tailored and elegant dress. Originally, Adele suggested that he put on armor and show himself as an army commander to remind people that he is an invincible general and can have a shocking effect. However, Lucy opposed this proposal. Lucy's opinion is that when the old and new powers are handed over, if Alan acts too strong, it will have a bad influence.

For example, Gilles will feel threatened by Allen, which will affect his attitude towards Allen in the future and so on. Allen's thinking was simpler. He didn't want Oban to look aggressive before he left. So he chose Lucy's plan, wearing a dress with a knight's medal, and wearing a gorgeous and exquisite rapier, according to Lucy. An elegant, low-key and powerful image is the most suitable role for tonight's banquet.

The banquet was held in the White Castle, and the location was a hall in the Inner Castle. The lobby has been carefully arranged, and a partition design has been made at the entrance to take care of the psychology of most of the guests. After all, there are not many people attending the banquet tonight, but everyone is an important role, so naturally they don't like too many sight-seeing. After walking through the partition, you can see the banquet hall.

There are two long dining tables in the hall, which are filled with exquisite meals. From time to time, a waiter will push the dining cart forward to replace the delicacies on the table. There are even waiters shuttled through the hall with silver trays containing fine wine, so as to ensure that guests in any corner can enjoy the delicious wine. There are also several hidden booths arranged in the hall to facilitate secret talks between the owner and some important figures, which can be described as well-considered.

When Allen walked in, he was immediately baptized by many eyes. There are many meanings in these gazes. There are really not many guests in the hall, but whoever can stand here will be an unknown little character. Although they failed to witness the whole process of Earl Aubain's will, they knew everything through various channels. The level of detail is not much less than what you know through personal participation.

So of course they knew that the young baron in front of him was entrusted by Ouban with the heavy responsibility of supervisor and had complete autonomy over the territory. It is no exaggeration to say that the power in his hands at the moment is no less than that of the new Earl. Even in terms of real power, he is bigger and much bigger than the Earl of Gilles!

Therefore, in these gazes, there is envy, and there are also gazes of information such as jealousy and resentment. After all, the greater Allen's power, the less benefits they can get.

"Sir Allan."

Among the crowd, Gilles in a silver dress warmly greeted him. There was a sincere smile on his face, and even his complexion was three points rosier than usual because of the wine and the lighting. He opened his hands slightly greenly and gave Alan a kind hug. Allen was keenly aware that the gazes cast on him were immediately covered up, and most of them put false smiles on their faces and raised their glasses to him.

But it was Giles who surprised Allen. The young man showed a bit of resentment towards himself in the earl's bedroom yesterday. Tonight, it was like a different person, like an old friend I hadn't seen for many years, with a little too much enthusiasm.

Looks like Gilles has a good social mentor, Alan thought. At this moment Giles let go of him, snapped his fingers, and naturally a waiter brought wine. Gilles personally held a cup and handed it to Allen, and said to the other guests: "Everyone, Sir Allen's bravery and ability should be obvious to all during this time. It is this Sir, in less than half a year, Lay down the territory of Marquis Daniel. That’s right, that powerful Marquis is a thing of the past. And I’m also very fortunate to have such a strong and friendly ally as my neighbor in the future.”

"That's why I'm here to suggest that you all give Sir Allen a glass, and may our friendship last as long as the sun and the moon."

Gilles said passionately, and raised his glass and drank it down. His movements were so intense that Jun's face flushed red after drinking a glass. Allen frowned slightly, unable to bear Gilles' enthusiasm. But he still raised his glass politely and drank the liquid in the glass, and there was applause around him. The other guests also drank up the wine in their glasses to show their respect for Gilles and Allen.

The young earl laughed, put Alan's shoulders intimately, and the two walked towards a booth in the corner.

Sitting in this private booth, the screen next to them blocked a lot of sight and sound for them. Giles poured another glass of wine for Allen and said: "I was rude yesterday, please Sir Allen believe that I did not mean it. In fact, I talked to my father after that. Indeed, Sir Allen is the one I am the most suitable administrator for this territory. I am too young and have no prestige, even if I barely accept that territory, I will not be able to suppress the people below, and it will become a joke in vain."

"Only people like you, Sir Allen, can suppress them. After all, you took down these territories from Viscount Daniel, so only your name is powerful to the people in that territory." Take power." Gilles looked serious, without compliments, just as if he was narrating a fact.

And what he said was true.

Allen took the wine from the young Earl and said in a deep voice: "Earl Gilles, please rest assured. Just like I promised Earl Auban, I will be your loyal ally. You will find out soon , with me by your side, you don't have to worry about things outside the territory."

"Then I'm relieved." Giles smiled, raised his glass and said, "I will ask Sir Allen for more advice in the future."

"Don't dare to be."

The two wine glasses touch in the air, representing the establishment of the most basic friendship between the old and the new characters. Next, Gilles asked Alan for many things, which revealed some plans for Gilles' future management of the territory. From these plans, it can be seen that he carefully bypassed Alan's territory and tried to follow Auban's Decided not to interfere with the autonomy of Allen's territory.

Allen noticed that Gilles' words were not so much asking for advice, but more like expressing his intentions to him implicitly. For this young earl, it was considered well-intentioned. r1058
