Red blood Castle wizards Association.


    In the newly decorated president''s room, the black haired wizard is sitting in front of the window. From the balcony on the top of the wizard tower, you can see the construction site of the newly established United Chamber of Commerce opposite. The craftsmen recruited from the lower part of the city are busy with the final finishing work.


    The so-called "United Chamber of Commerce" is not a branch of eboden. It is completely independent in name, but it is well known what is going on in practice. At the same time, it is also a symbol of the cooperation between the corona family and the Turin family.


    The imperial decrees strictly prohibit private exchanges between principalities. All exchanges between big families must be carried out with the permission of the former Imperial Cabinet... This is also to ensure the relative independence of each principality and there will be no alliance to check and balance the Empire.


    Therefore, it is not the first time for eboden to help local lords form local chambers of Commerce and reach financial rights transactions through a third party, but this time it is a little different


    The rest of his eyes glanced to his side, put on an eboden windbreaker and riding boots, and the expressionless little Yoder was sipping a cup of ten year "Nightingale" wine bought at a high price from storm castle.


    With a straight back, fingers pinching the wine glass and a slightly raised Chin... The meticulous action seems that sitting in front of him is not the son of a businessman, but the heir of a noble family.


    Of course, the merchant''s value is far more than any noble... Lauren''s eyes turned to the brand-new gift box on the table behind him, which was neatly lying the bankruptcy purchase documents of four yode chamber of Commerce branches and the Wine Monopoly certificate issued by the local Knight Lord.


    "These are only the first steps."


    Holding a wine glass in his hand, little Joad said coldly, deliberately not turning his eyes to the black haired wizard next to him: "next, we can really control all trade in the north of Byrne until eboden''s assistance and funds are in place."


    Like describing something about to happen, little Joad could not hear any waves in his voice, and looked calmly at the red blood Castle palace in the distance:


    "With the support of the Turin family, it''s only a matter of time before the United Chamber of Commerce has a firm foothold in red blood castle. Will yode merchants compete with us in this meaningless competition? According to the current situation, taking red blood castle as the headquarters and center of the chamber of Commerce, one fifth of Bain''s business road can be paved on the eve of the Midsummer Festival in almost three months."


    "Of course, this is the limit of the development of the chamber of commerce at present - three months is enough to give the yode chamber of Commerce a breathing space to prepare for the supply of goods and funds against us; they own most of the mines in the south, and we are not their opponent in the reserves of gold and silver."


    "Corona promised to give us enough supplies and funds, but we can''t rely on and trust them too much... The vast majority of eboden''s free nobles are just like the red blood Castle nobles. I believe they are no different from suicide."


    "At that time, we will be ready to resist each other''s counterattack... It is conceivable that in order to recapture such an important trade node as red blood castle, they will at all costs, even encourage the whole earls of Byrne to confront us; if we really get there, it will no longer be a simple confrontation between chambers of Commerce, but a competition among Knight lords..."


    From beginning to end, Loren didn''t say a word. He listened to little Yod''s eloquence silently and filled his glass from time to time.


    Until the voice fell, the black haired wizard smiled a little: "thank you very much. It must be very hard to go from eboden to red blood castle in three months?"


    "Otherwise?"


    Little Joad asked with a sneer, with a trace of contempt in his eyes: "can I have a second way to choose in addition to working hard for you now?"


    "Of course, it''s your choice." Lauren shrugged indifferently. "If you like, you can still go back now."


    "Yes, it''s just that the price is that governor Gaspar broke his body and became a traitor who betrayed the family and chamber of Commerce... I''m not going to do such a stupid thing until I''ve lived enough; let alone..."


    With a self mocking smile, little Joad raised his right hand and opened his sleeve. A ferocious black Rune floated on his wrist. His fierce eyes stared at the smiling black haired wizard in front of him. Every word seemed to gnash his teeth:


    "As long as there is this, as long as you can know my every move like the back of your hand, I can''t have any intention of betraying you, can I... My lord Loren Turin?"


    Loren raised his eyebrows: "it''s just in case... And strictly speaking, the person you''re loyal to is not me, but the count of the corona family and the red blood castle. I''m at most a person in charge - so you don''t have to worry about what I''ll do to you. It''s natural when..."


    "Not you?"


    The voice fell, and the room suddenly fell into some kind of dead silence.


    Little Joad looked slowly and meaningfully at the calm black haired wizard with strange eyes.


    "You don''t believe it?" Lauren looked at him.


    Little Joad just raised his mouth ironically and hissed, "cut... Don''t tease."


    "I don''t understand..."


    "You know... No, it should be said that you have planned all this. You have been planning this since the moment you met me, or even earlier... Loren Turin, I have to admit that what you do is really deceptive. It''s easy to make people believe that what you do is not for yourself."


    "But how is that possible?" little Yod narrowed his eyes: "alliance with the Turin family, use eboden''s greed to dismember Yod chamber of Commerce and attack the reputation of governor Byrne... Everything you do is the result of careful planning and arrangement, and everyone''s reactions and actions are in your expectation, even induced by you!"


    "Playing with so many forces and big people, you guy... It''s not ordinary arrogance."


    The corner of Lorraine''s mouth with a wine glass aroused a helpless smile, and didn''t take his words to heart.


    "Now that you know my... Um... ''sinister plan'', why don''t you tell the count or master corona directly?" the black haired wizard shrugged helplessly: "won''t my plan fail?"


    "Then risk being caught by you? Sorry... Do I look like someone who is going to die?" sighed, and little Yod asked sarcastically.


    The dark haired wizard frowned slightly.


    "You can rest assured that I will not be loyal to corona or the countess."


    Little Joad suddenly became serious. He suddenly stood up in front of Lauren and carried his hands behind his back: "for them, I am at most a tool to attack the Joad chamber of Commerce; once the Joad chamber of Commerce loses its power, the value of my existence will disappear... Tools without value will have no meaning to continue to exist."


    "But for you... Loren Turin, it''s completely different for you."


    "Oh?" Lauren smiled curiously.


    "You need a stable source of funds and someone to take charge of the United Chamber of Commerce for you - this person should not only be capable but also loyal enough; suppressing and even annexing yode chamber of commerce is only the first step, and whether you can really seize the actual control of Bain next is the key, which is the real purpose of you coming to Bain!"


    "I can assure you that the United Chamber of commerce under my control will never become a vassal of eboden, and it has and only one loyal person!"


    While opening his mouth, little Joad knelt down on one knee and looked at the dark haired wizard with cold eyes: "I''m not very patient, so please tell me the answer directly..."


    "If, at this moment, I, Mato Joad, formally swear allegiance to you... Would you accept it?"


    The air became stagnant again, and the two people who looked at each other were expressionless and motionless.


    The calm black haired wizard narrowed his eyes, with a faint smile around his mouth, and little Yod''s eyes were almost provocative.


    He is gambling that the dark haired wizard in front of him is not really without ambition!


    The corners of Loren''s mouth evoke a pleasant arc:


    "Why not?"
