The Original Vampire

Leaving the Lion's Roar Castle and returning to his residence, Earl Avon immediately packed his things and prepared to go to Huayu City.

Looking back now, he felt more and more that this was Colin's deliberate attempt to drive himself away from Winter City.

In this regard, Earl Evan was not too surprised.

When Joyce came to visit with Knight Webb before, he realized that he would definitely be afraid of Colin because of this.

Of course, there was nothing he could do about it.

Salia was going to find Prince Lehi, and even Earl Evan, as her fiancé, couldn't stop her.

Moreover, this is actually what Earl Evan must do himself.

At the beginning, Prince Lehi had already given him a choice after the incident in Yulong City. Since he has chosen to believe in Prince Lehi's innocence, Earl Evan can only go down this road.

Only by finding Prince Lehi and helping him clear his name can Earl Evan get the support and status he wants.

For Earl Evan, this is the first priority. As for adding some chaos to the northern border and burying a few nails, that is a matter of convenience.

After packing up his salute as quickly as possible, Earl Evan found Salia who was still sorting out, and said, "Keep packing, I'll go out and be back soon."

"OK."

Saying goodbye to Salia, Earl Evan changed into a low-key dress and walked out of the residence.

After wandering aimlessly in the streets of Winter City, he walked into a tavern seemingly at random.

In the tavern, Earl Evan went straight to the second floor, took a seat in a richly decorated private room, and drank the wine brought by the attendant alone.

But the strange thing is that there are only two wine glasses on the table, although there is only Earl Avon.

It didn't take long for Arnold, the chairman of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce, to walk into the room lightly, and bowed to greet Earl Avon.

"Please take a seat." Earl Evan poured Arnold a glass of wine.

Arnold sat down to thank him, drank the wine in the glass, and then asked: "Lord Count, you came to me this time,

What's the order? "

Earl Evan sipped the wine in his hand and said lightly, "I'm leaving Winter City."

Arnold's eyes flickered, and he quickly asked, "So fast? Are you going back to the Eastern Territory?"

"No. I will go to Huayu City. So, if you have anything, you can go there and find me."

"Okay." Arnold nodded.

Earl Evan glanced at the businessman in front of him, and asked again: "I asked you to contact the major businessmen in the north, how are you doing?"

Arnold frowned, a little embarrassed: "Lord Count, you are also aware of the current situation in the North, although I tried very hard to win over, but that Oliver, relying on the support of Count Angele, took out the North to the outside world. The position of the trading company is a bait, and it has indeed attracted a large number of powerful northern businessmen.

so……"

Seeing Earl Evan's expression calm, Arnold hurriedly said: "Lord Earl, in fact, I think it's too difficult to compete with the Saint Hilde family over the Northern Foreign Trade Company, and the goal is too obvious to be exposed. You, as you must know, that Earl Angelie is not a soft-hearted person.

Especially now that the situation of Master Joyce is not good, I am worried that if I anger the other party..."

Earl Evan tapped the glass lightly and fell into contemplation.

He knew that what had happened recently had made the businessman hold back.

For a while, Earl Evan could not give enough reason to let Arnold continue to work for himself.

Seeing that Earl Evan did not speak, Arnold opened his mouth and suggested again: "Lord Earl, I think we can find another way and use a more subtle but more deadly strategy to cut off the Saint Hilde family trying to control the business world in the north. hand."

Earl Evan's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Tell me about it."

"My lord, the goals of the Northern Foreign Trade Company are too big, and it is also valued too much by Count Angele. It is unwise for us to confront each other in this way.

After thinking hard for a long time, I think it might be more appropriate to start with bonds. "

"Bonds?"

"That's right, this is also a policy that Earl Angelie is planning to implement in the North, haven't you heard?"

"I know what's going on with bonds, you can just tell me your way."

"Yes." Arnold cleared his throat and explained a little excitedly, "Lord Count, have you noticed that the bond that Count Angele is going to issue does not restrict the qualifications of purchasers.

In other words, even merchants in the Eastern Region can exchange food for bonds with the Saint Hilde family.

If you're careful, don't even bother the St. Hilde family and exchange food for bonds through a trusted middleman. "

Earl Evan's eyes lit up, obviously realizing something.

Seeing this, Arnold seemed to be inspired, and immediately said more vigorously: "In this way, you can safely use the funds of the East to intervene in the business of the North.

Once we have accumulated a large amount of bonds, we have an important handle on the Saint Hilde family.

When the maturity date of the bonds is approaching, you can buy food in large quantities and push up the price of food. At that time, these bonds will become a huge crisis for the Saint Hilde family!

If they're willing to pay the bond, they'll have to buy food at a premium, and you'll make a fortune anyway.

And if they go back or fail to buy enough food to pay the bonds in your hands, it will seriously damage the reputation of the Saint Hilde family, and even cause a new round of unrest in the north.

Of course, there will also be losses in the East, after all your hoarded bonds will become waste paper.

But with the wealth of the Eastern Region, Lord Count, do you think that if you spend a sum of money to disrupt the Northern Region, is it worth it? "

"Of course it's worth it!" Earl Evan said immediately, then picked up the glass and banged with Arnold, his face full of approval.

In the eyes of Earl Avon, this tactic is indeed very good, concealed enough, but also very insidious.

Regardless of whether the Saint Hilde family is willing to pay these bonds in the future, the Eastern Border will be sure to make a profit.

To be honest, if you want to fight for military strength, the Eastern Region is indeed very difficult for the Northern Region. The years of stability and no threat from foreign enemies have worn away the will of the Eastern Region knights. Unless absolutely necessary, Earl Evan will never want to be on the battlefield. Go up and fight the people of the north to the death.

But compared to economic strength, the abundance of the Eastern Region is beyond the reach of the Northern Region.

Therefore, even if the northern border chooses to relinquish these bonds because of the high food price, Earl Evan will not feel distressed.

Spending a little money can ruin the reputation that a Paladin family has accumulated for thousands of years, which is really worth it.

Earl Evan became more and more excited as he thought about it. He exchanged glasses with Arnold, and quickly drank a bottle of red wine.

Arnold was about to ask the attendant to bring some more wine, but fortunately Earl Evan remembered that his fiancée was still waiting for him, and quickly stopped:

"No, I can't drink any more today. I'll go to Huayu City later."

Arnold looked regretful, but did not persuade him much.

Earl Evan kindly patted Arnold on the shoulder and asked him to come to Huayu City to find himself at any time, and then have a drink with him.

Arnold was naturally flattered and nodded again and again and sent Earl Avon out.

Returning to the room, Arnold found that Earl Avon had already taken another person in his seat.

However, he was not surprised or panic in the slightest. He stepped forward and greeted respectfully, "Lord Count Angele, I just did as you said."

Colin played with the glass that Earl Evan had just drank, and said with a smile:

"Mr Arnold, I am relieved that you made the right choice."
