Chapter 408

The old man's caution was slightly beyond Sean's expectation.

In fact, the manor is not exclusive to aristocrats, at least not in this world. Some rich businessmen can also get a manor to play, but the money to spend is definitely not low, at least the price of several large villas. In fact, no local nobles want to build a manor, and the money they need to spend is not necessarily much less than such rich businessmen. After all, the biggest reason why local nobles can save money is that they don't need to buy land to build any buildings on their territory.

If a nobleman in the field knows that someone wants to buy a piece of land to build a manor on his territory, it's strange that he doesn't extort a sum of money.

Because of this, the old man's first reaction when he heard that Sean, an honorary nobleman, actually wanted a design drawing of the manor was not surprised by Sean's wealth, but intuitively made him aware of some kind of conspiracy.

However, Sean's reaction was not slow. After feeling the old man's caution, Sean's face just showed the complacency that belongs to the young aristocracy. With a confident smile, "master, you certainly didn't hear my self introduction."

The old man frowned slightly. He really didn't intend to talk to Sean just now, so naturally he wouldn't care what Sean said to him.

"I'm Fran dumoy, a Viscount who is about to become a local aristocrat." Sean put his left hand on his chest and showed more satisfaction on his face. "It's an unspeakable secret about the territory position I'm about to obtain, but if everything goes well, I'll get my territory contract in a month Maybe it's not a rich place, but at least it's a place full of vitality and wealth. "

When Sean said this, the look on his face was no different from all the young nobles who were about to become local nobles. The old man may not know many local nobles, but he has had a lot of days dealing with nobles. Coupled with his rich experience and experience in his life, it is naturally easy to judge whether a person is telling the truth or lying.

At the moment, the news he got from Sean's expression was that the young man in front of him was really telling the truth.

What Sean said, of course, is the truth.

If everything goes well, a month later he will have got the land contract from panda, and he is still on his way back. Moreover, in fact, at present, neither the panda collar nor the Dayi collar in Sean's territory is a rich territory - Panda collar is currently in a state of development, and everything is just on track. It will take at least one or two years to see the effect from Neil's great vision before; Although the Dayi collar has developed and almost everything is on track, due to the collusion between the Michelin family and outsiders, the territory is now also a serious loss of collar people.

As Sean, the two territories with key investment in the territory are the same, not to mention the chilav leader who was not managed by Lonnie and then fell into the quagmire of war. If the territory must be described by adjectives, it is a very poor area that needs poverty alleviation.

But on the other hand, Sean was right.

These three territories are indeed not rich, but they definitely belong to territories full of vitality and wealth.

Chilav and panda are both important passages to the gorge Rift Valley, which means that if Sean lifts the blockade of the gorge Rift Valley in the future, these two territories will immediately become the hottest areas. Panda and Dayi are important areas of Neil's territorial development strategy, so these two territories will not be left behind in future development.

In such a hopeful situation, Sean's expression is naturally impossible to show any flaws.

"I see." The old man pondered a little, and finally nodded, "I will carefully consider your proposal."

"Of course." Sean nodded with satisfaction.

Sean just wants to get in touch with the old man tonight. Sean is very satisfied with such results. He knew that there were some things that he could not achieve if he wanted to be quick. Even now, he wanted to get the architectural blueprint of Hastings manor immediately, and then sneak in at night to steal the contract from panda, but he still had to restrain his inner desire.

At present, there is plenty of time, so Sean doesn't mind spending more time on the old man.

His only hope is not to have too many accidents at this time. In other words, even if there is any accident, he hopes to be in his control, because he has seen the scene that the world does not follow the script at all. Therefore, no matter what happens, Sean will no longer be surprised, especially after knowing that the Hastings family is actually attached to the nugus family, Sean had the worst in mind when he came here.

The next night, Sean had a pleasant conversation with the old man. Sean gave the old man all six glasses of wine he could order. For this, he paid two gold coins and four silver coins - after the old man heard that Sean was going to treat, he was very stingy to put away the gold coin and another glass of wine. Of course, this move immediately caused the laughter of many guests in the tavern. It seems that many people have maintained a good friendship with the old man. Although the old man blushed because of drinking, he was still dissatisfied with these kind jokes.

A quarter after nine o'clock, the drunk old man got up and said goodbye to Sean.

Fortunately, although he was drunk, at least he didn't forget some etiquette - Sean keenly noticed that the etiquette of the old man to greet himself was the standard salute of civilians to aristocrats. Although the action was not standardized and full of civilian style casual, he could at least see the meaning of this etiquette. Because of this, Sean noticed at this moment that many people in the tavern seemed to have changed, some of them became a little nervous, and the other drinkers who seemed to be adventurers were also full of vigilance.

The discovery made Sean frown slightly.

"Then, my Lord, I'll leave first." The old man spoke vaguely, and he was shaking and swinging when he walked.

"Fred." Sean got up, helped the old man up, took him to Alfred and Arnold, and said, "send him back. I'm always a little uneasy." Speaking of this, Sean whispered again: "pay more attention to the situation along the way and the safety of the old man's residence You'd better take the flame lion's tusks, but don't use them if it's not necessary. Go to the weapons store tomorrow to buy a handy weapon. "

"Don't worry." Alfred smiled. "Even without the fangs of the flaming lion, my fist is enough for ordinary people to dare not move lightly."

Because the flaming lion tusk is Alfred's symbolic weapon, basically the aristocratic circle of dabion kingdom can guess Alfred's identity as soon as they see this weapon. However, as Alfred's most handy weapon at present, it was naturally brought this time, but it was wound up layer by layer with white cloth strips. If you haven't completely exposed your identity, it's certainly better not to use the flame lion's tusks. However, if you face the threat of death, it's not necessary to hide your identity.

But Alfred didn't care. He smiled and raised his hand. Then he picked up the drunk old man and began to walk outside the tavern.

At this time, Sean remembered that Alfred's boxing skills were also good. At the beginning, if it weren't for Sean's suggestions, Alfred might have taken office in a direction related to boxers. At present, because the flame lion's tusks are unfinished products, the increase of various attributes is not obvious. Therefore, Alfred's current invincibility of the same level is not based on the addition of the flame lion's tusks. Therefore, Alfred is still invincible of the same level even if he fights with the enemy with boxing skills.

Watching Alfred carrying the old man out of the tavern like a cloth bag, Sean looked at the two groups of people he had just noticed.

The first few stiff and uneasy people didn't show much. Looking at their expressions, they seemed to feel relieved. On the contrary, the people dressed up by the adventurers showed an ugly look on their faces. They looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the middle. After the middle-aged man nodded, seven people in the table got up and left the pub.

Almost after the seven adventurers left, another group of five people who were nervous also got up and left one after another.

Sean looked at the scene thoughtfully, and instinctively guessed that he had probably understood how to answer it.

It is estimated that someone wants the old man's help, but the old man's bad attitude must have made the other party eat badly, so he wants to use other means to succeed in his goal. From this point of view, another group of people should know the news, so they will order another group of people to protect the old man. Of course, it does not rule out that they also have some ulterior purpose for the old man.

In this way, it should be a secret contest between two groups of people.

In fact, Arnold is actually more suitable to be the protection candidate of the old man, but Arnold's IQ is really a little anxious, so Sean will let Alfred do it. Of course, there is also a consideration that Sean does not intend to intervene in the contest between the two sides. What he wants is the architectural blueprint of Hastings manor. Whether the old man is dead or alive is none of his business.

However, before he got the information about the architectural blueprint of Hastings manor, Sean certainly wanted to protect the old man.

With a little thought, Sean got up and walked towards the second floor.
