Chapter 201

"What request? If it's reasonable, I'll promise you."

Nord's face showed a thoughtful expression. He didn't expect that Harlan would suddenly ask himself. He has never asked Nord for anything since he saw old Harlan last year.

Even for the attack on Lehman, Harlan did not choose to bow his head and apologize to Nord, but came up with remedial measures in time, hoping to make a transaction with Nord instead of admitting his mistake to Nord. Nord knew that the old man was actually very proud, like an aristocrat.

But this time, Nord could feel the meaning of the request in Harlan's eyes. Although it was said to be exchanged with the map, old Harlan was a little humble. Nord knew that even if he didn't agree with his request, the map would be handed over to him. Nord was sure.

But Nord was very curious and wanted to know what could make Harlan put down his noble attitude. Yes, Nord felt this way. Old Harlan always treated Nord on an equal footing, as if he were also an aristocrat.

Harlan's demeanor is even better than that of most nobles Nord has met. It may also be because many of the nobles are new nobles and have no deep inheritance. They are like the kreisen family. However, they have just been established for more than 100 years. In the aristocratic circle, they are regarded as vulgar upstarts and despise them at all.

"It's not an excessive request. I just want you to bring my grandson Benny when looking for the cottage. It would be better if he could be your servant. Of course, it depends on your recognition of him. You can test his ability. Although Benny has some shortcomings, I believe his ability is still very excellent."

Harlan looked at Nord with a smile, as if he had determined that Nord would not refuse his request. Although the request was not excessive, Nord didn't sound like a taste, because it felt like old man Harlan was arranging the afterlife, so Nord was a little depressed.

This bad old man is very bad. He just took care of Nord's secret affairs in the stronghold. Now he looks like he's dying. To tell the truth, Nord really doesn't want to see this day. Although old Harlan is not Nord's subordinate, he doesn't belong to Nord's jurisdiction.

But one day when he was in the remote stronghold, Nord was very relieved. Especially now, in the development of the Amun mountains, old Harlan can provide great help to Nord. Whether it is personal feelings or the impact on the plan, if old Harlan dies, it will never be a good thing for Nord.

"Wagner is not with you now. If Benny leaves, who will take care of you in the future."

With a free and easy smile, Harlan raised his thin arm and shook it, looking strong.

"Don't worry about me, an old man. Even if Benny and Wagner leave, I can take care of myself. Besides, I still have some prestige in the mountain stronghold. If there is anything else, the mountain people living nearby will help me. I don't have to worry about my daily life at all. I won't die until I see you recover the whole Amun mountains."

"Well, I promise you that I will let Benny be my servant and seriously teach him. As for how much he can learn, it depends on his own ability."

Nord took a deep look at Harlan, and Nord also felt that Harlan would not keep the secret in his stomach. Take it to the grave. One day, old Harlan will tell Nord the truth, and Nord believes that this day is not far away.

"That's enough. I'm still thanking you for Benny. You know that the child is not good at words, but his heart is very delicate and can certainly help you."

"In the next period of time, I will stay in the Yameng mountains. If you need to find me, you can go to Nanshan stronghold. In addition, I opened a market in Nanshan stronghold. In the future, mountain people can go to Nanshan stronghold to exchange goods."

Nord simply told old man Harlan about some plans of the South Mountain stronghold. Of course, it was just some things on the surface, which were confidential. Nord didn't say much, but Nord guessed that with old man Harlan's experience, he could guess nine or ten times.

"Nanshan stronghold is a good place. You've seized a good opportunity. I'll publicize it for you in the nearby stronghold. Tomorrow I'll ask Benny to go to Nanshan stronghold to find you with a map."

"There's another thing. Tomorrow, I invited the principals of several nearby strongholds to discuss things in Nanshan stronghold. If you're free, you can also come and have a look."

Nord sent an invitation to Harlan and wanted him to go to Nanshan stronghold. After all, he is also the principal of Yuanshan stronghold and should be able to attend the meeting on behalf of Yuanshan stronghold. Moreover, Nord also has another purpose, that is, to let old Harlan support the scene for himself. Although Nord has some prestige in several nearby strongholds, But it certainly can't be compared with old Harlan.

If old Harlan endorsed for himself, more than half of Nord's plan at this stage has been successful. The other four stronghold principals did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the old man. Almost all of them grew up watching old Harlan and had been taught or helped by Harlan's people. This is why Yuanshan stronghold has such a great influence, Among them, old Harlan takes half the credit.

"OK, I'll go to Nanshan stronghold tomorrow to see what this brand-new stronghold looks like. By the way, I'll go out and get some air. I've been stuffy in my room for several months, and I'm getting sick."

After saying that, old Harlan gave Nord a meaningful look, as if he had seen through the little nines in Nord's heart, but old Harlan didn't point out, but naturally agreed to Nord's invitation.

Among them, there should be more than the reason why Nord promised him to accept Benny as his attendant. Nord can feel Harlan's goodwill all the time. Even without this favor, Harlan will attend the meeting, and there is a high probability that Nord's proposal will not be refuted.

Then Nord chatted with old Harlan about some things, mainly that Nord was asking old Harlan about the feasibility of some plans, because these plans were discussed by Nord and hill scholars.

Both of them made this plan based on the existing data. They are not sure whether it can be carried out smoothly in the yamon mountains, so they made a package of standby plans. If this one doesn't work, change another one.

Old Harlan is the one who knows the situation of each mountain stronghold in the Amun mountains best. He can help Nord reasonably judge the feasibility of various plans, so Nord pretended to inadvertently put forward an idea to let old Harlan comment on whether it can be promoted here.

Of course, this practice can't hide from old man Harlan. He helped Nord solve all kinds of questions with a smile. Since Harlan didn't point out, Nord was also happy. The two had been discussing for a long time. When Benny came in halfway, Nord left him as a spectator. After all, he was Nord's attendant. It's good to know more about Nord's plans.
