In the same long hall, Viscount Green said to his two confidants with no trace of sadness or joy in his eyes.
Knight West's brows suddenly frowned, "Lord Viscount, what do you mean?"
Viscount Green seemed to be unaware of what he was hearing, and his eyes were focused on the smart fox, Valekour.
"Vallecourt, what do you think I should do?"
A strange color flashed through Knight West's eyes like a shooting star, disappeared in an instant, and then looked at Valekour.
West Knight also wants to hear his opinion.
Valekour pondered for a while and said, "Sir Viscount, are you willing to give up this gold mine?"
"If I can't find treasure in this gold mine, I will lose sleep all night." Viscount Green said with certainty.
"I understand, Lord Viscount! Then we won't give up." Valekour nodded.
"So, are we going to go to war with Baron Decas?" Knight West interjected, "Behind him may be Archduke Odyssey, or even the Mysterious One."
Viscount Green didn't speak, but looked steadily at Vallecourt. Knight West's worries were exactly his worries.
"You're right, Knight West. This is indeed very difficult!" Valekul confirmed the concerns of Knight West, and then changed the topic and said, "So let's not show up!"
"Don't show up?" Knight West murmured.
"Yes." Valekul nodded.
Knight West wanted to beat the damn guy in front of him, but he did this every time and only spoke half of his words.
Fortunately, Viscount Glenn also said in a deep voice at this time, "Wallecourt, tell me, what are your plans?"
"Okay, Lord Viscount." Viscount Grien's words could not be ignored by Valekul.
He nodded to Viscount Green, and then said, "We can tell the story about the emergence of a high-quality salt mine in Dickas territory!"
"More people know about it! How can the Viscount dig treasure from this gold mine?" Upon hearing this, Knight West jumped out and accused.
"Hehe." Hualecour just smiled and said nothing at the West Knight's accusation.
This actually made Knight West feel very angry.
Viscount Green frowned, "Wallecourt, are you serious?"
"Lord Viscount, there are many obstacles on the road leading to the Golden Mountain! Many people died on the way to remove the obstacles, leaving a smooth road for later people to dig the gold mines!" Valekour explained to Viscount Grien.
"What do you mean?" Viscount Grien's eyes lit up, and he vaguely understood what Valekul meant.
"Lord Viscount, let's spread the news! Those people will swarm into the territory of Dickas like hungry dogs. If the hungry dogs draw out the jackals behind Baron Dickas, it is none of our business."
"If the hungry dogs are lucky enough to swallow up Baron Decas's gold mine, Patras City is the only way for Decas Territory to reach the outside world. They cannot bypass Patras City, and the Viscount will definitely be able to enjoy this feast.
, and even, at certain appropriate times, monopolize this feast."
After hearing what Vallecourt said, Viscount Green showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Walaikul, you never disappoint me. Then I will leave this matter to you!"
"Please don't worry!" Hua Lekuer lowered his head and said with a trace of complacency in his eyes.
Next to him, the fire of jealousy was burning quietly in Knight West's eyes.

………
The news that a high-quality salt mine appeared in Dickas' territory suddenly spread throughout the entire city of Patras.
That high-quality salt mine, after simple processing, is as white as snow and has no astringent taste.
The snow salt that was circulated in Patras some time ago is evidence of this.
There are even more snow salt sellers, employees of the Hughes Caravan, who came out to "live the truth" and said with "confirmation" that their boss went to the territory of Baron Dickas and owned the snow salt after he came back.
sell.
Behind every caravan in Patras stands a big man.
They have been paying attention to snow salt for a long time.
After hearing the news, they sent people to the territory of Baron Dickas to gather information.
The changes in the small village of Nisei deeply shocked them, and the fact that snow salt was sold openly in the grocery store made them completely excited.
It turns out that the rumors are true, Baron Dickas really owns a high-quality salt mine.
They flocked into the grocery store to ask about the price of snow salt.
But old John had already given his orders.
The price for people in Finise Town to buy snow salt is 100 gold pith coins per pound.
This price is lower than what Hughes sold it for.
The price that Hughes sold to various nobles was 130 gold pith coins per pound.
But for these businessmen, the price is still too high.
For them, the cheaper the price, the better, preferably free.
They wanted to talk to William, but William ignored them and told them to talk to Old John.
Old John is very simple. It's a seller's market now, and it's a fixed price.
Of course these businessmen were not satisfied.
If you want to rob it, the security team of Nisei Town will be watching, and from time to time, a detachment of the Knights will pass by.
They had to give up this idea.
They discovered that one person's power is limited, and after several secret negotiations, they decided to join forces and discuss with William.
William didn't bother to pay attention to them.
You ignored me back then, but now I have made it impossible for you to reach up.
Anyway, except for Hughes, William didn't want to pay attention to anyone.
William's attitude finally annoyed these businessmen, or in other words, the big shots behind these businessmen.
They got together and discussed for several days before finally deciding to intervene in William's territory by force.
In fact, they didn't know that this resolution was made by Viscount Green's people who fanned the flames and encouraged those people to make the decision.
The person behind each businessman may not be as powerful and status as Viscount Green.
But when they gather together, the power behind them is terrifying, especially two of the caravans, which are the white gloves of a certain great noble.
Their troops gathered together were even more powerful than Viscount Green.
With such strength, if they attack William's territory, they will be able to capture it easily. When William is forced to reveal the situation of the salt mine, several families can divide it according to their strength, and everyone can have enough to eat.
As for William’s life and death?
Baron Decas defended his territory alone in the winter and resisted the lizardmen for his courage and spirit. However, fate was ruthless. Baron Decas could not wait for dawn and was swallowed up by the night. It is really a pity.
Word like this spreads!
How could Grand Duke Odyssey VII hold them accountable?
He hates this son. This son disappears in front of him forever. It's not too late for him to be happy. Maybe he has to thank them!
These people all think so in their hearts and believe it deeply.

Those merchants no longer bothered Old John and completely disappeared in the Dikas territory. Such strange behavior made Old John, the chief administrative officer of Nisei Town, feel uneasy.
He went to see William and told him his concerns.
William smiled after hearing this, but his eyes were meaningful.
