The man patted Mika on the shoulder: "Be sure to create a conflict between the two parties. It is best to directly provoke a war... By then, the entire Upper Green Forest will welcome the return of the original owner!"
"Well, after I become the new lord, I will marry Monica to you and make you the lord of the Emerald Territory!"
"Want to serve you!"
Mika clenched his fists on his chest, with the flame of ambition in his eyes.
Indeed, it should be the Davis family that rules the Upper Green Forest!
Even if the man in front of me is just a side branch, who made the main line die?
Not to mention, there is territory, Miss Monica...
…
Blackstone Manor, gate.
To show his courtesy, Aaron wore a formal dress and stood at the gate to greet him.
Not long after, a convoy appeared at the end of the road and kept approaching.
"My Lord Baron, you are so kind."
Knight Yiman dismounted and shook hands with Aaron.
"Welcome to my manor as a guest." Aaron responded politely.
Knight Iman helped a young lady out of the carriage: "Allow me to introduce you, the brightest pearl on the emerald collar, my daughter - Monica!"
"Hello, beautiful lady."
"Good day, sir." Monica looked at Aaron's handsome face, a trace of blush appeared on her cheeks, and she was no longer so resistant to the arrangements at home.
"This is my disciple—Mika!"
Knight Iman continued to introduce a young man.
"Um."
Aaron became much more reserved, nodded and passed.
Although the opponent seems to have good martial arts skills, that's all.
What made him a little bit strange was that the other party's heartbeat and other physical signs could be heard in the breeze, which was a bit too exciting.
'His face is well hidden, but he is not meeting the earl. As for this...'
He immediately paid more attention, sensed the status of other people in the convoy, gave Bizhi a wink, and led Knight Iman into the manor.
In the living room, the cooks served sweet honey water and milky pudding.
"You're welcome, please try my invention."
Aaron scooped a spoonful of pudding into his mouth. This was Ginny's favorite dessert, but it was a pity that she disliked the chef in the castle who couldn't make it well.
“It’s truly delicious.”
Knight Iman took a bite and put down the spoon. However, Monica next to her had bright eyes. While maintaining her ladylike elegance, she quickly moved the spoon. The nanny next to her winked several times to no avail.
Knight Iman was a little annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face and communicated happily with Aaron.
"I heard that the Baron had some magical potions on his hands that cured Mrs. Sylvie?"
He mentioned it seemingly unintentionally with a little inquiry.
"Purchasing it from the merchant may have some effect, but it should be more of the credit of the bachelor and the midwife..."
Aaron is very humble and honest.
Iman rolled his eyes secretly, not believing it at all.
Doesn’t he know the virtues of a trader in the green forest? If there was such a magical potion, it would have been blown to the sky long ago.
This potion was probably made by Aaron himself. After all, this person had a reputation in this field before.
In this case, it is even more important to have a good relationship. After all, life-saving medicine is a very precious thing in this era.
Even if there are no chemicals, he still wants all kinds of farm tools and fertilizers that can double the yield per acre.
Thinking of this, Iman felt more and more that her daughter was not living up to expectations.
After taking a short rest, Aaron, led by Knight Iman and others, inspected his manor.
"This year's wheat production is good. The mill on the estate has been running at full capacity. I am planning to build another one... In addition, the warehouse also needs to be expanded."
Aaron walked in the manor with Iman, Monica, and Mika.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from behind.
"What's going on?"
Aaron frowned, and then saw Eight Fingers and Sanchez trotting over, glanced at Knight Iman, and said without lowering his voice: "Suspicious people were found among the entourage. They were carrying poisoned daggers. It is suspected that they are
assassin!"
"This must be a misunderstanding!"
Knight Iman's expression changed drastically.
Aaron suddenly turned around and looked at Mika.
The young man's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.
'I have to say that some of the abilities of 'Chrysalis' are quite useful.'
Aaron looked at Mika with a half-smile expression on his face: "Your name is...Mika, right?"
"Yes...yes, Lord Baron."
Mika had no idea why Aaron didn't go to Knight Iman but went to him directly, and cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
"Why did you come to assassinate me?"
The next moment, Aaron said this with a sneer. He was too lazy to play with other people's evidence. In his territory, he was the law. He could arrest, interrogate, or even kill people on mere suspicion!
"What?"
Iman's expression changed again, and then he saw Mika's ferocious expression and drew the cross sword from his waist.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late.
Aaron touched his wrist on his waist, and the light and swift sword came to his hand, and he stabbed forward.
puff!
With a flash of silver light, the slender blade of the Swift Sword directly penetrated Mika's right chest and pierced the lungs.
"Mika...ah..."
Looking at the fallen Mika, Monica screamed.
Knight Yiman looked at Aaron in great shock. Mika was his favorite disciple and had even surpassed him in physical strength. Although he still lacked a little experience, he could still be among the best in the martial arts tournament.
But at this time, he was knocked down by the enemy with one move.
Although there are other factors, Baron Aaron's martial arts skills are obviously no small matter.
"Knight of Iman..."
Aaron took out a snow-white handkerchief, gently wiped the sword, and asked casually: "Do you know about this matter...?"
Knight Yiman's face couldn't help but be covered with cold sweat, and he instantly understood that he was involved in a huge conspiracy.
Judging from Mika's expression and actions, he is really the main messenger of the assassin, and this will undoubtedly implicate the knight himself.
At such a sensitive time, as a surrender, doing something like this may even lead to a crusade!
"I swear by my grandmother's faith that I have no knowledge of this!"
Knight Yiman made a quick decision. He half-knelt on the ground, slowly pulled out his sword, and together with the scabbard, held it in both hands and presented it to Aaron.
"Of course...I completely believe that."
Aaron didn't pick it up. It was an insult to completely disarm a knight.
What's more, he had already confirmed Iman's condition through the induction of hair, and was basically certain that the other party was innocent.
"Eight Fingers, please ask Knight Iman and Miss Monica to rest in the guest room and search the servants. We cannot let the gangsters who sneaked into the convoy succeed."
He said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, your wisdom is the only one I have seen in my life."
Knight Yiman stood up and felt relieved. This lord still seemed to trust him.
