Chapter two hundred and fifty seventh shame deal
"I originally thought you would hug me and cry bitterly, thank you for how I value our friendship. ≥ But reality really disappoints me, but that's fine, Mr. Kurahan, at least we can put aside the others and make a calm and fair 'deal' about Goria's affairs."
The Baron Bahrain looked like a smile. He sat on the sofa chair, turned the wooden pipe in his hand and knocked it a few times, pouring out a small pile of white ash.
"Trade? Talking to me about 'trade'! Bahrain, you bastard, have you forgotten what I was like in the first place..."
"That's right! This is a deal. Mr. Kurahan, I advise you not to turn out the old past and try to humiliate and anger me. Let me be honest, it is precisely because I have not forgotten the ragged things that I should have forgotten that I generously sent you an invitation after finding Golia after going through a lot of hardships. You should have seen the scene just now. With the appearance of this child, there are many people who are interested in him. Moreover, this is still the case when his true gender is not exposed.
You see his appearance, don't say you don't know, this child is at least seven or eighty-eighth of imagination with the unattainable big man. If the gender is the same and younger, at least Lao Mentu, Oga, and Basolon have such hobbies, and the old guys who are interested in children will definitely win him. At least they are all glorious marquises with ancient blood inheritance. Do you think you will still have the possibility of this child after they know the existence of Goria?"
Kurakhan's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word, obviously he couldn't refute it.
Bahrain saw him and smiled coldly in his heart. In fact, he had a headache about how to deal with Golia. After repeated thoughts, he wanted to hold a cocktail party to let him reveal his idea. Of course, there was a reason for this trouble. In fact, from the beginning, he did not intend to transfer Golia, that is, Goron to anyone other than Kura Khan. The reason was of course not because of the hypocritical and ridiculous friendship between them, but because he knew that Kura Khan had attached great importance to Golia to almost crazy, so he would do anything to get the beautiful boy from his own hands.
Of course, Balin also thought of introducing Golia directly to those upper-level masters. As he said just now, although the old guys, Oga, and Basolonans were not determined to Golia like Kurakhan, and they were willing to lose everything, the wealth of those old guys was comparable to that of Kurakhan. Even if they just flipped their pockets, the few changes they threw were as good as all the ordinary or lower-level nobles like them.
Introducing Golia to these people, or even holding a small auction is undoubtedly a way to maximize profits, but there is another hidden danger, that is, Goronna looks like Count Amanda. This is not only one of Golia's biggest selling points, but also a super bomb that can blow Bahrain to pieces.
There are countless nobles in Montenegro who were favored by the emperor and the Count Amanda, who was sent to the guillotine in the square because of this emperor's favorite minister. Among them are the glorious marquises with real power, or ancient aristocratic families whose family has been passed down for hundreds of years. Some of the causes of these people's deaths were simply because they made some remarks that were disliked by the Earl of Amanda in public, or they had some ideas about the Earl of Amanda. What's worse is that these ideas were discovered by the jealous Emperor Durotal. As for those ordinary nobles whose status and status cannot be raised, sometimes a rude look is enough to make their entire family become slaves.
In short, as long as you are related to this count, lower nobles like Bahrain may die at any time and anywhere, and may even implicate the entire family. After repeated weighing the pros and cons, the Baron Bahrain finally came up with a way to hold a cocktail party. On the one hand, it can put some pressure on Kurahan and extract benefits from him more easily and thoroughly. On the other hand, it can also appropriately reveal Golia's existence in advance. Bahrain knows Kurahan's thoughts on Golia, and knows that he has obtained this "
Beauty will definitely try every means to hide it from the snow. It will not be hyped up, and it will eventually lead to trouble. This is also one of the important reasons why he will choose Kura Khan. Even if something happens later, Bahrain will have an excuse to get rid of the charges of "hiding important people in private" and "concealing and not reporting" because of this cocktail party. After publicly handing Goria over to Baron Kura Khan, Bahrain will basically no longer have anything to do with this matter, which is also the safest way Bahrain can think of.
"What do you want from me?" Although Kurakhan was a noble person, he was not a complete fool after all. Even if he couldn't guess Bahrain's ideas completely, he at least knew his true purpose.
"The manor you are located on the banks of the Onyx River, and all the taxes in your territory for three years. By the way, there are also a hundred sets of Misilian heavy armors. Don't fool me with garbage. I just need to have a lion mark on it."
Kurakhan took a deep breath. When the anger reached its peak, he calmed down again. In any other situation, Bahrain's three requests were enough to invite him to initiate a death duel to this bastard, and at least he would apply for a civil war of aristocratic people from the Imperial Elders' House.
The manor on the banks of the Onyx is the private property of Baron Kurakhan. Although it does not cover too much, it has a small piece of vineyards that are among the best in the entire empire. With a complete set of magic equipment unique to the manor, it can produce a royal wine. Due to the limited production, this wine is almost gone after meeting the royal needs. Although it cannot be sold, as the best gift, it has always been an important weapon for Baron Kurakhan to clear the upper nobles and cling to the powerful.
If the Onyx Manor is still just the private property of Baron Kurakhan, then selling all taxes for the family territory for three years is enough to make Kurakhan lose everything, whether it is his identity or status within the family. But this is still not the most ruthless one of the three conditions of Bahrain. One hundred sets of lions and mitral heavy armors, this is the most speechless condition for Baron Bahrain.
The real name of the Misilan Heavy Armor with the lion's mark is actually "Dynasty Base Heavy Armor". This is not the kind of historical out-of-print and historical out-of-print equipment with collection value or the collector's edition equipment produced by famous masters and masters. However, it is the top military-industrial product that can be bought on the market, and it is the standard equipment of the Emperor's Personal Guard. In terms of defense, flexibility and lightness, the performance is better than the epic equipment passed down by some ordinary noble families from generation to generation. The entire empire's military system cannot produce several sets a year, and after being divided by the wealthy families, there are few that can be lost to the hands of middle and low-level nobles, and it is simply a priceless one.
The Bahrain family actually belonged to the declining nobles. A few generations ago, they were hereditary counts of the empire, so they had the savings of these dynasty heavy armors. And this group of equipment that could form the most elite heavy cavalry regiment was the only hope for the revival of the Bahrain family. Bahrain's conditions were undoubtedly to completely cut off this hope in Kurakhan's hands.
After proposing these three items, Bahrain was actually very nervous. He knew that the "friend game" between him and Kurakhan had been completely over, and he was even ready to bargain with Kurakhan. The first two items were actually just pavement. Aside from providing some free gifts, the Agate Manor was useless, and no matter who took over, he had to pay tribute to the royal family. As for the territorial taxation, it was not something that anyone could give to whom he wanted, which was the foundation of a family. Only the heavy armor of the dynasty pedestal is what Bahrain really wanted. Of course, he was also very clear about how harsh this condition was. If it were him who thought so, he would refuse it completely, and then kicked the bastard who proposed this condition to him out of the door.
"If one hundred sets are really difficult, then fifty sets are fine. Hum, the situation in the mainland is now in chaos. Temporary peace is simply an appearance, and a full-scale war will be launched sooner or later. At that time, everything except the army and weapons were idle. Fifty sets of dynasty base heavy armor... As long as you have this batch of weapons and equipment, plus all my savings, you can form a private army that is completely loyal to me. Hum. Then..."
"I agree."
"...Huh? What did you just say?" Baron Bahrain, who had just been in deep thought, had not yet reacted for a while, and asked Kura Khan blankly.
Kurakhan's face was dark. He seemed to squeeze out words from his teeth: "You don't have to say nonsense anymore. I know your true thoughts. Don't think about the territorial taxes. I can't hide it from those old guys in my family. Once this agreement is reached, they will immediately deprive me of everything. You will get nothing at all. The Onyx Manor must also be slowed down. At least I will not give you before offering to the royal family this year. As for what you really want, isn't it those hundred sets of armor? It is indeed a tribe property under my management. I think of a way I can still pass them secretly to you. As long as you don't take them out to show off, at least the possibility of being discovered by those old ghosts before I hand over the power and tribe property is very low."
Kura Khan was unambitioned and a poor family. Although he guessed Bahrain's real purpose, he would rather give up the Misilan Heavy Armor that could cut off the hope of family rejuvenation, and choose the greatest possible way to retain the benefits he has in his hands. Although this was within Bahrain's expectations, it was far better than the result he expected at the beginning. So he simply decisively gave up the other two conditions, and only strictly limited the delivery date of Kura Khan.
This shameful transaction of treating himself as goods happened in front of Goron. The two nobles did not avoid him at all. This may be because in the subconscious of these nobles, Goron, who is currently a slave, is a product and a craftsmanship decoration, which is an air that needs no attention. But just as the two were about to put their family seals and signatures on the magic contract, Goron suddenly interrupted and said, "I want to be with the one-eyed ogre. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't go anywhere."
The two were stunned. Kurakhan didn't know what Goron was saying, but Bahrain remembered that in addition to Goron, there was also a treasure ogre that he had picked up unexpectedly. The Baron Bahrain frowned and hesitated for a while, but in the end he readily agreed to give it to the other party for free as part of the transaction. It is true that this one-eyed ogre would be a considerable wealth to sell it to the Colosseum, but it is worth at most two to three sets of dynasty base heavy armor. There is no need to add more variables to this transaction that is extremely important to him.
In this way, an hour later, the radiant and neat Kura Khan and the satisfied Baron Bahrain announced at the cocktail party that the Baron Bahrain would give a slave he unexpectedly to Baron Kurakhan, and both sides were very happy. There was no more twists and turns after that, but a few nobles with concern left the party venue in advance. Bahrain saw these in his eyes but just smiled coldly because it had nothing to do with him. However, Kura Khan, who was ecstatic in his heart, did not notice these at all.
Another half an hour passed, and Kura Khan finally couldn't wait for the end of the cocktail party, so he took the teenager in women's clothing and a sleeping ogre to leave Bahrain's mansion... At this time, he had already secretly swore in his heart that he would never step into this place again in his life.
At the same time, Goron also looked at the starry sky through the carriage window. His eyes were confused, so confused and moving, and there was also a little helplessness and dismay. Kurakhan, who saw these things, felt that his soul was trembling, and his heart was infinitely pity, and he was completely infatuated for a moment.
