Chapter 179: Earl of Kenmays visits

"Sir, Earl Kenmath has arrived." Reddy reminded him when he entered the door.

"Okay, I'll go down to greet you." Lorist stood up and walked towards the gate of the castle downstairs.

This time, Earl Kenmath came to Rock Castle and brought nearly a hundred people. He was sitting in a very luxuriously decorated four-wheeled carriage, instead of bringing more than ten servants on horseback to visit as in the first half of the year.

By the way, when Lorist was busy settling more than 500,000 new lords in the territory to build a large-scale construction, the Kenmais family was not idle, and they came up with a plan to jointly launch the eastern part of the north. More than ten territorial nobles in the eastern part of the eastern part were pulled on the carriage of the Kenmais family, whether they were voluntarily or not. The six or seven lords who resisted were killed, and the rest of those who were unable to resist or knew about each other voluntarily filled out letters of request and entrust the family territory to the Kenmais family to operate. They enjoyed their contributions and maintained a decent aristocratic life every year with generous dividends.

Simply put, the Kenmais family had successfully mastered the eastern part of the North and managed it into an iron plate. Even the second prince had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit this reality. Then, under the monetary offensive of the Kenmais family, the second prince promoted Viscount Kenmais to the Earl at the Northland nobles' friendship held in May of the first half of the year, and granted the Earl of Lopez to him, so that the Kenmais family had a legitimate jurisdiction in the eastern part of the Northland.

The first one to get off the carriage was the proud Earl Kenmath, and then two beautiful maids came down. Well, I can only blame the Norton family for never providing maids and bedtime services to the guests who came to the door, which caused Earl Kenmath to stay alone for three days last time. This time, he learned his lesson and brought his maids.

Lorist came forward and greeted him casually: "Hey, what are you doing this? Is this attitude trying to stay here for a long time?"

Earl Kenmays was not surprised. Seeing Lorist staring at the two maids, he smiled: "Why, I'm moved, why don't I give you one? Tell you. They have been professionally trained and have a variety of tricks on the bed, making you happy as if you were to heaven..."

"No, I'm not interested." Lorist retreated his gaze: "I'm just strange. Can you bear this body? How long have they been with you? Why haven't you squeezed you out..."

Men are the most unacceptable, and Earl Kenmath is no exception. He is now curling his arms and is strong: "What's wrong with my body? I'm very strong. Don't look at them like two little wild cats, I'll be fine if I settle them two or three times in one night..."

"Brave all your strength. Go and go to my study to chat." Lorist curled his lips and turned around and left.

Strangely, even though the Kenmais family and the Norton family had shaken hands and made peace, the Kenmais family suffered a great loss, which should be deeply hated. The Norton family took advantage of it enough, and should be strictly guarded against the Kenmais family. Both sides should be in a disagreement. But as the relationship between the two sides deepened, Lorist unexpectedly became good friends with Earl Kenmais. Even on a hostile standpoint, Lorist did not hate the person as a Count Kenmais.

"Every time I get here, I feel like I'm entering a robber's nest. Even this castle was snatched from me..." Earl Kenmays started a cliché again.

"I declare again that this castle was built on the territory of our Norton family. I just drove away a group of robbers who occupied our family's territory and occupied the robber's nest by the way," said Lorist.

"Well, this castle is indeed built on your family territory." Earl Kenmath was angry: "But you have to admit that the laborers, materials, funds, and even the architects who designed the castle were stolen from me. Poor Master Siloba. His whereabouts are still unknown."

"I warn you, if you have something to say, don't try to find out the whereabouts of Master Siloba and tell you. I won't give him freedom without serving our Norton family for ten years. Besides, he is very busy now. If you Kenmaith's family wants to build a city, please ask for a clever one." Lorist revealed the plan of Earl Kenmaith.

Earl Kenmath shrugged: "I don't care whether Master Siloba is dead or alive, but my old man insists that I ask about the whereabouts of Master Siloba and see if he can redeem him and build a castle for my house. Now that you have expressed your attitude, that's fine. It's not that I don't do my best, but that you're making me helpless."

"Puchi" Lorist was amused: "Okay, tell me where you want to go with so many people this time?"

"Where can you go? Gildusque City." Earl Kenmas walked to the big wine cabinet on the side of the study and admired him: "Look, rows of famous wines, and they are not robbers. You tell me which bottle of wine here was bought by you for your own money? Didn't they all grab it? Let's not talk about wine, look at the sand you sit on, the royal collection of the Meggis family. Duke Lukins spent more than a thousand goldford in the royal city of Windbrey. After a few years, this precious sand came to your study, and you didn't spend a single son..."

"If you no longer mention robbers, you can choose two bottles from my wine cabinet," said Lorist.

"Really?" Earl Kenmath was overjoyed.

Loris nodded.`

"Okay, I will never mention the word robber again from now on." Earl Kenmays began to choose wine in the wine cabinet.

"I'm very surprised. It's almost November and you're still running out. Are you not in your own family territory?" Lorrist asked.

"Ah, brother, for us nobles, there is no word "winter". Who needs winter? That's the common people. They have no clothes and food to hide in the house to avoid the cold winter with heavy snow. We are nobles, and no matter how cold we still have the entertainment of nobles. We hold banquets, dances all night long, meet beautiful and gentle ladies, recite poems and invite dances, secretly meet with these ladies and ladies on cold nights, and give them a deep understanding of each other. This is how our nobles spend the winter..."

"Brother, don't stay in this cold and lonely castle anymore. You should go out and see the market. This winter, the Second Prince will hold a series of grand events in the city of Gildusk. All the nobles of the Northland and even the nobles of the Kingdom will bring their families to participate. At that time, the city is full of beautiful women, but it is a good opportunity that cannot be missed. If you go to participate, I believe the Second Prince will be very happy. He has long wanted to know you, the roaring bear who is terrifying in the Northland..." Earl Kenmath spared no effort to encourage Lorist to go to Gildusk with him.

"I'm not interested in participating in these boring activities. I'm busy this winter. Where do I get the time to play these romantic tricks with you? Also, don't be a lobbyist for the Second Prince. I have a gut feeling that this guy seems to be very bad about our Norton family. So I have a clear attitude towards him. No matter what he wants to do, I will refuse. If the Second Prince asks me why I always refuse invitations after you go back, I will say that I have always been very resentful to my elder brother who died on the battlefield, but nothing is compensated. The Norton family has decided to draw a line with the Second Prince. I will ignore him anymore." Lorist said calmly.

"Wow, you are planning to break up with the Second Prince directly. I think this is actually unnecessary. Just maintain the hypocritical politeness and politeness among the nobles. You can politely refuse the Second Prince's request. As long as you have the strength, the Second Prince can only swallow his anger and dare not treat your Norton family..." Viscount Kenmas disagreed with Lorist's decision.

"That would be too troublesome, so let him choose by himself, either become an enemy of our Norton family or treat our Norton family as passers-by. Anyway, our Norton family keeps in mind the family's ancestral teachings. We protect the northern border for the empire and have no interest in their fight for power and profits to fight for life and death. As long as we don't mess with us," said Lorist.

"Oh, your family is such a weird thing. Now that the troubled times are coming, the war is everywhere. It is the time when heroes show their skills. Doesn't your Norton family have any ambitions?" Earl Kenmays said to Lorist.

Lorist shook his head: "Our family does not have that ambition. We just want to live and work in the north, and we don't want to participate in the game of fighting for hegemony. That's not something that a small family like us can afford. If you are not careful, you will die and die. I just want to pass on the glory of the family. This is my responsibility and obligation as the head of the family. However, your Kenmaith family has a deep foundation and is the largest building chamber of construction in the former empire, you should have the opportunity to have a chance to take advantage of it."

"Haha, I'm too rewarding. Our Kenmath family doesn't have the courage to compete with your Norton family. To be honest, we just want to stand on the side of the winner. We are still watching people betting." Earl Kenmath said with a smile.

Lorist also laughed: "If you have a good candidate, remember to notify me. Don't eat alone. Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. You go to Gildusk City this time and deliberately turn me over. If you have any serious matters, just tell me."

"It's a serious matter to find you. First, the second prince asks me to invite you to the city of Gildusk, but you rejected it. Second, I'll inform you that the batch of green glass and oil glass you ordered will arrive in half a month. You have to prepare for transportation and storage in advance. In addition, my father asked you if you want green vine glue, we can sell you 50,000 barrels cheaply. If you lack funds, you can use iron armor to barter at a high price. Our family bought it at a high price." Earl Kenmath said seriously.

Lorist sneered for a moment and laughed: "After all, your family is still trying to attack our armor. Tell me, how much do you want?"

Earl Kenmath stretched out three fingers.

"Three thousand, OK," said Lorist.

"What three thousand, what I want is 30,000 sets of iron armor," said Earl Kenmath.

"What? Thirty thousand sets of iron armor? Not to mention that your family can afford it, even if you can afford it, what do your family want to do?" Lorist was very curious. Even if there was a set of iron armor forty Jinfude, 30,000 sets would be more than one million Jinfude. Does the Kenmax family want to lose everything?

Earl Kenmath sighed: "There is no way, brother, our family is also forced to do anything. This time our family unified the eastern part of the north, and the biggest harvest was to see a gold mine. In the past, those territorial nobles mined privately, but now we have to use regular mining equipment and procedures in our family. We can mine more than 200,000 gold medals every year, so I don't have to worry about our family's repayment ability. You can also send someone to check whether the gold mine in our family is as I said."

After pausing, Count Kenmath said, "Do you know how much money the second prince has plundered from our family this year? 120,000 Jinfude, just to be able to control the Count Lopez and get me promoted to Count, which cost so much. I got reliable news that next year the Second Prince will officially establish the First Legion of the Kingdom of Iberia in the Dagong of the North, with an organization of about 56,000 people. In order to avoid our family being suppressed by the Second Prince by force and becoming his bag of money, our family decided to form a family armed army, with a population of 30,000 to defend the eastern part of the North from being violated by the Second Prince."

Earl Kenmays smiled bitterly: "The troubled times have come, and you will be in danger without reliable family armed forces. Once the second prince wants to attack us, the eastern part of the north will face two attacks. You should know that the iron chain bridge built by our family leads to Makinohara Province controlled by Grand Duke Fisabren, which is also considered to be a cocoon and has an enemy in one direction...

So this time the family decided to spend a lot of effort to establish a reliable family armed force and spend a lot of money to be in place so that it can become the support of our family's military reliance and the security of the family's survival. But you also know that the only two iron mine factories in the Iberian Kingdom are in the hands of the Second Prince, and the iron armor and weapons and equipment produced are difficult to fall into the hands of us territorial nobles. The north is short of iron, and you are the only one who can provide excellent equipment to our family's armed forces. In any case, I will help our family this time, please..."

Earl Kenmath bowed to Lorist very formally.

Lorist touched his chin and began to think, nodded after a while: "I agree to sell the weapons and equipment to your family for 30,000 people. You have to discuss the specific price with Knight Shred. My idea is that your family can use food and supplies to replace the cash payment of this batch of weapons and equipment. If you need it, I can also provide you with a batch of military crossbows produced by the former Imperial Machinery Manufacturing, which has about a hundred..."

...

Earl Kenmath stayed in Rock Castle for five days, bargaining with Fatty Shi in a verbal battle with him every day, and the total amount of the package agreement reached was 1.8 million Jinford. The agreement stipulated that the Norton family would provide the Kenmath family with 33,000 sets of iron armor and supporting weapons next year, including 143 military crossbows. The Kenmath family would provide 500,000 Jinford cash, and the rest would be replaced by food and various supplies. After signing the agreement, Earl Kenmath took his servants on his journey to Gildusque.

After seeing off Earl Kenmath, Fatty Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "More than half of the armor and weapons brought back by the Northbound Convoy were sold. It would be great if there was another Earl Kenmath. We are now equipped with standard equipment from the White Lion Legion. Those armors are not used and occupy space. We wanted to return to the furnace last time..."

Lorist laughed: "Don't worry, after the New Year, I guarantee a prosperous business. Earl Kenmath said that the Second Prince will form a 56,000 army next year in the Grand Duke of the North. In order to make a living, the nobles of the territorial areas with a little wealth in the North will fight to arm themselves desperately to avoid becoming the delicious food mentioned by the Second Prince..."
