Lord of the North

Three days later, the large-scale banquet finally came to a successful conclusion. Jason received a total of more than a thousand gold coins here. This was because they did not bring a lot of gold coins to the banquet.

To Jason's surprise, the most popular game was not card games, but a purely luck-based entertainment game like Big Wheel.

"Now your territory will not lack income in the future." Violet said softly as she leaned on the table with her little head propped on her arms. In front of her was Jason who was busy sorting out the accounts.

"If you can keep this momentum, you really don't have to worry about future income." Jason put down his pen and rubbed his forehead and said.

However, there was a merchant guest who made a lot of money in this banquet. He was like a gambler. He made a net profit of thousands of gold coins in just three days, which made countless people envious. good publicity.

I believe that in the future, people who are eager to get rich overnight will come to Erbia Town in an endless stream. There are too many people who are trying to get something for nothing.

"I want to turn this place into a casino in another world." Jason fantasized.

"In addition, opening a civilian farm near the casino can bring in a lot of income by accumulating small profits."

"Also, you can try to build casinos in other parts of the kingdom. I believe that with the strength of the Kyle Family Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn't be a difficult task." Jason said to Violet.

The operation mode of the casino is relatively simple, and it is not difficult for other lords to imitate it. Now that they already know that this industry can grow bigger, they need to seize the opportunity and make their reputation first. The industry occupies a leading position.

"Aren't you worried about Earl Diall?" Violet didn't care about the casino, but asked worriedly. She already had enough money, and the most important thing now was the safety of Jason and his territory. .

"Count Diai will be more honest recently. If he is not reconciled, then I can only make him disappear."

Jason squinted his eyes. He also wanted to solve this problem once and for all, but Earl Diai was not weak. If he insisted on pulling him out, it would bring great losses to Iron Fang and Viscount Lyon.

Fortunately, Jason has a top killer who is not weak. As long as the Leviathan knight is not around, Morando can easily kill Earl Diai without anyone noticing.

"My lord, there is a man outside who calls himself Donte Alberto asking to see you." Gareth's voice came from outside the door.

"Count Dongte Alberto?" Jason looked at Violet suspiciously. How could this northern nobleman whose strength was comparable to that of Earl Diai come to see him suddenly?

Apart from giving him an invitation, they had no other interaction.

Even at the banquet, he only asked his son to attend, but he didn't expect that he would also come to Erbia.

"It's better to meet you." Violet said seriously. Jason has made too many enemies now. If Count Alberto can be allowed to join his side, the pressure on Jason will be much less in the future.

"Tell him to go to the reception room, I'll be there soon." Jason stood up and said to Gareth outside the door.

He needs to change his clothes now before going out to meet guests, otherwise he will feel disrespectful to the guests in casual clothes.

But why did he suddenly come out to find himself for no reason? Could it be that he wants to get a foot in the casino business?

If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about. This piece of meat Jason can divide a little bit of interest in order to win over other people, but he doesn't intend to give them good looks for this kind of people who come to ask for it.

Jason came to the living room of the town government, and there were several unknown guards standing at the door, who should be the subordinates of Count Alberto.

After pushing the door open, he saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was already seventy-three years old, and now he had already retreated to the background, leaving all the affairs in the territory to his descendants.

"Rare visitors, the presence of Count Alberto makes this small place of mine flourish.

"

But no matter how I heard it, I felt that there was a sense of dissatisfaction in Jason's tone, but if there was no dissatisfaction in Jason's tone at this time, Earl Alberto would be surprised.

After all, he didn't respect Jason because he asked his son to attend the banquet instead of him.

"You're joking."

Earl Alberto got up and said with a slight bow, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of this young man, because this young man had become one of the strongest of the northern nobility in just a few months.

It's just that he didn't know that it was all thanks to Lancelot and Gareth, as well as Violet's private support.

Jason is the one who gives orders and makes plans.

"I don't know what's the matter with Earl Alberto coming to see me this time?" Jason sat opposite him and said with a smile, but his eyes flashed with worry.

Now there is a Earl of Diai who has restrained most of his strength. If he establishes another strong enemy today, he will be in trouble in the short term.

Facing his question, Earl Alberto did not answer, but glanced at Gareth who was standing behind Jason. It was obvious that he didn't want others to hear what he said next.

"Gareth, go out and guard and don't let anyone come in and disturb you." Jason looked at him and nodded, indicating that he could handle it.

"Yes, my lord." Gareth looked around the living room and then turned to leave.

"You can talk now." Jason reached out his hand to signal the old man.

I don't know why Jason suddenly remembered a sentence: Please start your speech.

"Master Marquis really has an enviable retainer." Earl Alberto said enviously at first.

"Hehe, country people, it's not worth mentioning." Jason waved his hand.

"There is only one reason why I came to have a secret talk with the Marquis this time." The expression on Earl Alberto's old face gradually became serious.

"Do you want to be king?"

What? You seem to be making me laugh, Jason has thousands of heads in his heart... The divine beast gallops past.

You said that you are already old, how come you come here to ask such a thing so well, it is difficult to answer this kind of question.

"What do you mean by that?" Jason raised his brows, he was a little confused about what this old guy was thinking.

"Chaos is about to break out, do you want to wait here quietly for the butcher's knife to fall on your neck?" He quietly looked into Jason's eyes, trying to see through the young nobleman's thoughts.

Alberto saw the current situation very clearly, but he didn't want to seek refuge with the great nobles in the south of the kingdom or those in the royal city.

Those people have never looked down on the nobles and people in the north, and when they go, they will be looked down upon or treated as cannon fodder.

Now the nobles in the north are obediently obeying the orders of the royal city, and the Marquis Garcia's control over the north has plummeted after he came to power, so he thinks it's better to fight under Jason's command.

More importantly, the relationship between him and Earl Diai has also reached an incompatible situation.

"Based on your words, I have a reason to put you on the spot." Jason squinted his eyes and said, in front of him, the prince of the kingdom, that the Lopez Building will collapse. Is this looking for excitement?

"But my lord wouldn't do that." Earl Alberto was betting, because Jason's previous actions didn't look like a person who was willing to be calm.

"After a while, I will go to Lucca City and meet Zora Odinson, the commander of the army." Jason got up and said with a smile.

"I understand my lord, I wish you all the best."

The conversation was extremely harmonious from the beginning to the end. As for what Jason had guessed before, it was not mentioned at all.
