Chapter 103 (1/2)

”Lord Loren Turin, how can it be you - I mean, your excellency?”

Visari Rand, the owner of the RAND family who entered the map room, looked at the black haired wizard with his back to him in surprise, but still asked in a somewhat flattering tone.

Followed by more than a dozen nobles, who were also very strange, and even showed some bad premonitions on their faces. They were all summoned by Reuven Fred, but it was the wizard named Loren who greeted them.

After such a long time, these people also knew how much Luwen trusted the wizard consultant and even obeyed his words, but after all, they were not the count and were not worth their efforts to please.

Some people even smell the conspiracy and hide behind the crowd quietly, ready to run away.

”The count has other things to deal with, so I'll receive you.” Lauren, who turned around with a smile, gently snapped his fingers and locked the door with a ”hovering curse”, which startled the nobles in the house.

”What the hell do you mean?”

”You misunderstood, Lord visari Rand.” seeing the other party's frightened expression, Loren immediately comforted, ”it's just to avoid anyone hearing our conversation.”

What the hell is this?

”Gentlemen, you have all vehemently opposed the count's plan in this castle, some of them even more than once.” Loren calmly said, ”and today I come to negotiate with you on behalf of Lord Reuven Fred.”

”I, we are not going to oppose the count's plan!”

As soon as he heard what the other party said, visari Rand was worried immediately, and some unscrupulous quickly explained: ”it's just because there are too many land disputes, and we don't get it without paying. It's really forcing us to hand it over...”

”I can understand.” Lauren smiled and sighed. ”In fact, the count's handling of this matter is too rough.”

”But... Who makes him count? We humble servants can only meet his wishes as much as possible and make some small contributions.”

”That, of course, we are all loyal servants of the count.” the fat man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, smiled at Lauren, looked at the nobles behind him, and asked cautiously, ”so... What's your plan?”

”As an adult's wizard adviser, I have the responsibility to realize his wishes; but at the same time, we have to face the reality and can't live in a dream.” the black haired wizard smiled easygoing: ”even as a lord, the count can't force everyone to hand over their land.”

”Therefore, I would like to make a more reasonable suggestion to you - the count will no longer force you to hand over your land, but at the same time, you are not allowed to continue to stand up and encourage the rest to disobey the count's plan with you!”

”Moreover, as proof of your submission to the count, you also need to provide Shenlin castle with enough livestock, wheat, barley and potatoes. These food will be used as relief materials for those free people, proving your adults' loyalty and contribution to Shenlin castle!”

”I very much hope that your excellency can accept this proposal. As you know, the count has not had much patience.” Lauren sighed with a bitter smile: ”as his humble servant, I can't offer better conditions.”

Visari Rand looked back, looked at several nobles, and carefully asked, ”is it because the food in Shenlin castle is about to run out?”

”You really think too much, and I just want to give you a chance so that the count can feel your loyalty to him.” Loren chose to avoid answering.

However, this statement also allowed visari Rand and several nobles to verify their guess that Shenlin castle was about to run out of food!

On the surface, the aristocrats with a flattering expression are constantly sneering at the bottom of their hearts. He was right to insist until now. The count must have been unable to hold on, but he couldn't afford to beg for mercy from his people, so he had to send the wizard to ease the atmosphere.

Although it is not clear how much grain Shenlin castle has, it is absolutely not enough to provide it to so many people. He can't last long!

One by one, these nobles all played a small abacus at the bottom of their hearts. Is it to accept the count's request for peace now, or to continue to insist and force him to surrender completely?
