Chapter 327: Poison Enters the Heart

Count Karloff Horsman stood in the center of the banquet hall, looking at the guests he invited with surprise and admiration with satisfaction.

As always, he is still the center here, the focal point of all eyes.

With an elegant and decent smile, his eyes swept across every face in the scene, Viscount Carroll, Countess Gran, Earl of Pebble. The gentlemen and ladies of the Southern Territory who have the right to speak, pure blood and honor, some of them have already inherited titles, some are important heirs in the family or big figures who can represent the family. It is not easy to invite these people together, especially It was in this cold winter month - the visits of these big men were enough to prove that the appeal of the surname Hossman in the southern border was as strong as ever, and in order to further consolidate the authority of his surname, Earl Hossman was of course prepared. A "big meal" that is enough to match this banquet.

That is the magic net technology that he has spent a lot of effort and finally obtained through the double efforts of big money and good luck.

People applauded, and Count Karlov Hossman smiled reservedly, and after the applause lasted for ten seconds, he shook the glass slightly, showing a humble look: "I must admit that the ancestor who came back to life is a A venerable figure who created incredible things - maybe with a little 'help' from some alien friends, but anyway, Leyline technology is amazing, and something this good should clearly be Share it with everyone."

A nobleman in a dark blue velvet coat took the words of Earl Hosman just right: "But if I remember correctly, Duke Cecil did not prohibit the outflow of the magic net - it is said that through Viscount Leslie As long as you pay enough money, Cecil will send craftsmen to help those in need build magic nets, and even build various devices based on magic nets.”

"Of course, if you pay enough, Duke Cecil will 'help' us build the Weave," Earl Hossman toasted the noble representative, then smiled and shook his head, "but that's a lot of money. Money! Our founding duke is going to use a carriage to carry all the gold coins out of our castle - and more importantly, things in the hands of others are unreliable after all, aren't they? Cecil Land It is true that people will be sent to help build the magic net, but that is not so much help as it is to hold the technology firmly in our hands. If the magic net is broken, or not enough, we need to spend a lot of money to put those Craftsmen please come back... Compared with this almost endless investment, don't you think it is more cost-effective to get the technology to build the magic net?"

"Indeed,

” Earl Peiper, who had a slightly blessed figure with a pale golden roll, stepped forward with a smile, “My old friend, how on earth did you get that technique into your hands?” "

"With a little luck, I happened to meet two rune craftsmen who used to be responsible for building the magic net in Tanzania, and these two rune craftsmen just wanted some better prospects," Karlov Huo said. Earl Siman said unhurriedly, "They brought the drawings of the magic net and some construction techniques - of course, for safety, I let my scholars and wizard advisors participate in the specific trial production work, and the final result It's satisfying, I made a magic net that can be used and has the same efficiency as the mine magic net in Leslie's territory. Guys, you can look up at the magic spar lamp in this castle, if you have the chance You are also welcome to visit the magic tower behind the castle - they are now powered by leech!"

"The mages in my territory will definitely be interested in this!"

"I'm very interested myself - I'm a mage myself."

"Count Horsman, how do you plan to... 'share' these results with us?"

Nobles, big and small, gathered around one after another, and exchanged information about the magic net with Earl Hossman with compliments and sincerity, because each of them knew the changes in Leslie Land in the past few months. ——Although they are quite critical of Viscount Andrew Leslie, who has completely fallen to the Cecil family, they must admit that in the past few months, the ore produced by the mines in Tanzania has been crushed It has occupied many raw ore markets in the southern border, huge output, and extremely low cost, which made several southern nobles who were originally competing with the Leslie family in the ore business miserable.

Of course they want the same mining equipment and magic net system as Leslie's collar, but the price is really daunting, and they are even more afraid of the rapidly developing Cecil collar, and they are unwilling to directly deal with Cecil. There are too many connections between leaders - especially in a technology that involves the basics of "Magic Web".

Now that Earl Hossman has successfully "stealed" the magic net, how could they not be tempted by it?

Although mining equipment still needs to spend a lot of money to buy from Leslie Collars or Cecil Collars, but at least, they solve half the problem, and it is still the basic energy problem.

The nobles are mediocre, but they still have their minds. They know the difference between the magic net and the mine magic machine - the latter is just a magic tool, and if it is broken, it is only a loss of money, while the former is the foundation and the energy of the territory. If they can only rely on other people's artisan team to build, they are absolutely not at ease. Only when their own artisans have mastered the technique of laying magic nets can they dare to use that thing with confidence.

But in the big and small aristocrats have gathered to Huo

At the same time next to Earl Siman, a tall and thin figure quietly left the banquet hall.

Wearing a black wool coat with a long beard, Viscount Carroll, wearing a crystal monocle, walked around the waiting waiters with a wine glass, walked out of the banquet hall alone, and came to the corridor outside the hall. Sighed.

The castle was indeed brighter than ever - it wasn't the first time he had visited Earl Horsman's castle, and he could see a lot of new magic crystals under the corridors, in the courtyard and even on the outer walls of the main castle building. Shi, under the abundant supply of magic power, the bright lights almost made this ancient castle look like a crystal. It seems that the Earl of Hossman was right, he did get the magic net. Technology - and can't wait to use it in his castle.

Viscount Carroll looked at the courtyard illuminated by the lights. Under the bright light around, the bright starry sky above the courtyard seemed to dim a little. Not just myself.

A thin lady wearing a long black court dress and a black wide-brimmed hat was standing not far from her. The lady's clothes looked very thin, but there was a faint layer of magical protection. A shield shrouded her, blocking the cold wind from the winter night.

Lady Ropeney Glenn, the richest but possibly the most unfortunate widow in the South.

"Ms. Lopeney," Viscount Carroll walked over with a glass of wine, he couldn't let such a lady stand alone outside on such a cold winter night, "Do you also feel that the hall is very stuffy?"

"Please address my title and surname, Mr. Viscount," Ropeney Grant glanced at Viscount Carroll, her eyes were deep, her cheekbones were high, and her whole person was still a little morbid, although she could still tell that she was a Beautiful, but no doubt her beauty was on the decline in poor health and mood - but for many young aristocratic men, she was still very attractive, "This is a very formal party."

"But we are outside the banquet hall," Viscount Carroll said with a smile, and after realizing that his own humor had not been responded to, he changed the subject calmly, "Then Lady Glenn, what do you think about the magic net? Not interested?"

"Earl Hossman just needs someone to praise him. After the tout is over, it's the real money and silver. I don't need to waste time and energy before that," Ropeney Glenn said in an almost bitter and mean way. Her speaking style has always been like this, "And to be honest, I really don't have much interest in the magic net. If the price offered by Earl Hossman is not suitable, I will just leave."

Viscount Carroll smiled and nodded: "I understand, Miss Glenn is waiting for you to come home."

When she mentioned her only daughter, Ropeney Grant's face softened a little. She turned her head to look at Viscount Carroll and asked casually, "What about you? Are you not interested in the magic net?"

Viscount Carroll thought for a while, and showed an exaggerated distressed expression: "To be honest, I am interested, but I dare not be interested."

Ropeney Grant finally had a curious look: "Oh?"

"Things from Cecil Territory are full of weirdness," Viscount Carroll said in a slightly lower voice, but the volume was just enough for people to hear. It's all good, "I don't know if you've noticed, now the southern border is full of new things from Cecil Land-a variety of alchemy potions, magic nets, mining machinery, and the high-quality currency they cast, almost Overnight, before everyone could react, Gawain Cecil was everywhere..."

Speaking of this, Viscount Carroll paused and opened his hand: "Even myself, I see Gawain Cecil's face at least countless times every day—when counting money."

The corners of Ropeney Grant's mouth turned up slightly: "I'm fine, I only like the kingdom's silver and gold shields."

"Look, you are also a humorous person," Viscount Carroll complimented immediately, then holding the wine glass and looking towards the courtyard, "Many people don't realize this infiltration, but I have a sense of crisis. ... The 'new stuff' led by Cecil is so convenient and cost-effective that no one can resist it, but you should also know that the more poisonous something is, the more sweet it will tempt you to disguise yourself. People... those miraculous creations from Gawain Cecil seem to me no less than a dose of poison..."

Viscount Carroll said, his eyes swept over the soldiers in the courtyard inadvertently, and in the keen eyes of the low-level knights, he saw a Hosman soldier protruding from the belt bag on the waist. Narrow clear crystal neck.

There was also Cecil's logo on the neck of the crystal.

"I'm afraid we've already poisoned our hearts."

Ropeney Grant glanced at Viscount Carroll: "Then will you refuse these poisons?"

Viscount Carroll was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Sometimes, poison is also a good remedy for diseases - as long as everything is under our control, it seems that now, I will go back to the banquet hall and go to Entering the stage of 'real money' with Earl Hossman."
