Chapter 31 (1/2)

“Previously, I heard Hank mention that Baron Darkmoon is preparing to sign an open trade agreement with Baron Soro. Part of the payment is related to education.”

“Allow people from Baron Darkmoon’s side to apply for Baron Soro’s secondary education academy. This is our chance.”

As Lin Dong listened to Luo Fei’s explanation, he frowned a little.

It seemed to be the case. However, Lin Dong did not have many memories of this matter. At that time, he was only focused on running away from the Sylvester family. How would he pay attention to something unrelated to himself?

Baron Darkmoon and Baron Soro’s territories were adjacent to each other. Both sides were neighbors, and they were equal.

However, although both sides seemed to be the same, there were actually great differences.

For example, Baron Darkmoon was a pioneer lord that was directly conferred the noble title by the king of the Ardent Fire Empire. Baron Darkmoon needed to swear loyalty to the king.

As for Baron Soro, he was conferred the title of nobility by Count Tianfang of the Northern Starfield. Baron Soro had to obey Count Tianfang’s orders and not pay too much attention to the king’s orders. Even if Count Tianfang was a subordinate of the king, it was the same.

This was the characteristic of the feudal system.

The vassals of the king’s vassals were not the king’s vassals.

As neighbors, there were good and bad relationships. However, the relationship between Baron Darkmoon’s territory and Baron Soro’s territory was neutral.

If the trade agreement was truly implemented, the relationship between the 2 sides would likely rise to neutral and friendly.

Although he was not clear about the specific process, in Lin Dong’s memory, this agreement was ultimately annulled.

Speaking of which, there was also Lin Dong’s reason behind the annulment of the agreement.

Before he was reborn, he had secretly purchased energy blocks from the person in charge of the Ninth merchant group in Baron Darkmoon’s territory, Toya. This had caused some suspicions.

As a result, Baron Darkmoon joined in the pursuit of Lin Dong’s thunder fire.

Coincidentally, not long after, Lin Dong was brought to Baron Soro’s territory as Baron Soro’s illegitimate child.

This caused the enmity of Baron Darkmoon, which led to the annulment of the open trade agreement.

Currently, Lin Dong did not reveal his existence, so he would not cause Baron Darkmoon to cancel the agreement.

However, Lin Dong was uncertain whether this open trade agreement could be successfully or not.

“The impact of the changes I have made is gradually expanding. The direction has changed. Perhaps, it will lead me into a good direction.”

Many thoughts flashed across Lin Dong’s mind as he recalled the differences between his previous life.

He turned his head and smiled at Luo Fei as he said, “This is an opportunity. You should prepare first. If you don’t have enough money for the tuition fees and other things, feel free to ask me.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t stand on ceremony. Have a drink.” Luo Fei grinned as he gulped down a mouthful of wine.

There was no need to stand on ceremony when it came to the concern between the 2 of them.

“Hey, why are the 2 of you standing so close to each other in the corner? Are you 2 hiding something? Tell me and I’ll you my sincere blessings.”

Luo Fei turned his head when he heard this. A girl wearing a pink dress, revealing her arms and calves, was standing not far away from them.

Lin Dong rolled his eyes: “You are pretty, but what are you thinking about all the time?”

It was Li Ziqing, the former group leader of his class. She was very pretty and had a good figure. She was very considerate toward others and had quite a reputation among her classmates. It was said that she had a good family background.

When he saw Li Ziqing appear, Luo Fei immediately felt a little uneasy.

This was the goddess in his heart and had not changed for many years.

Li Ziqing did not have much of a reaction to Lin Dong’s ridicule. She coldly snorted and sat beside Luo Fei.

At the same time, he pulled over a female classmate and asked her to sit beside Lin Dong.

“I don’t need you to worry about me. Just take good care of Ding Ling.”

Ding Ling’s figure was petite and exquisite. She had a delicate facial features, and she was a little chubby. She was just like a large barbie doll and was very cute.

After being asked to sit beside Lin Dong by Li Ziqing, she looked at Lin Dong with a slightly blushing face. Soon after, she lowered her head and did not say anything.
