, I heard that Viscount Salk’s daughter has a good relationship with you. I imagine that the Viscount will not let go of a rare good ally. So in this case, the entire Kent nobles should fall in love with you, right? And accordingly.

The fallen Luo Yanta was undoubtedly treated as a victim in exchange for your goodwill and support?" The old man didn't look at the murderous dwarf at all, he just muttered to himself.

"Wise elder. Your agility and wisdom are undoubtedly rare in my life. So, of course you can predict what will happen next?" The other party's performance can be said to be subtle, but Moriarty does not seem to be interested in exploring him anymore.

Who it is, tell me directly.

"Oh, now that Rheinburg has a new owner, the old owner should quietly disappear. Right?"

"Yes." Moriarty nodded calmly.

"Well... if... if I am willing to be loyal to you and become your retainer, can you keep my life?" After a moment of silence, the old man suddenly spoke.

"Ha, old man, you want to lie to us?"

Beside him, Guderian immediately yelled with disdain. The old man's disregard for the silver-bearded dwarf just now made him feel very embarrassed.

"Sir, a living me will definitely bring you much more benefits than a dead one." Still ignoring the clamoring dwarf, the old man just looked into Moriarty's eyes.

"Your name and identity?" Moriarty thought for a while and asked.

", he was the chief steward of the Luo Yanta family." This time the old man had no strong points and answered directly.

"I see."

Moriarty nodded. He had a feud with the Luo Yanta family back then, and it seemed that the old Lord Luo Yanta had investigated him in detail. The old man in front of him must be the actual person in charge, so he knew his information so well.

"So, what can you bring me?"

"Everything about the Luo Yanta family." Harold raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at his head.

"Ha, Rheinburg is ours now, no matter how different it is from you." Guderian immediately blew with disdain.

"Rheinburg? Haha, although Rheinburg is extremely important, it is far from everything to the Luo Yanta family." Finally he looked at the silver-bearded dwarf, but the old man's eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot, and then he looked at Moriarty.

: "The management of the manor, the operation of the caravan, the overt or covert external contacts, and some secrets that cannot be exposed to the sun... Your Excellency, you have the thinking of a true Erathian noble, so you naturally understand what I am talking about."

"These...are good...but they are not enough." After looking at each other for a moment, Moriarty shook his head gently.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, this is a time of war against the invasion of demons. Relying on a strong army, you may be able to conquer Kent County and even the southeast of the kingdom without any resistance. But what happens once the war is over? The other veteran nobles

How will you treat the newly rising Rheinburg? Will you continue to welcome the newly emerged Rheinburg with a smile, or will you secretly slander you? Or even join forces to suppress you?" Seeing that what he just said did not seem to impress the other party, the old man was not discouraged, but continued

Talking eloquently: "You should understand that in the world of aristocrats, there are no unchanging friends, only unchanging interests. Even your father didn't expel you from the family for a little land and gold coins? So, in

In addition to the army and strong men, you really need a butler who is proficient in noble affairs and familiar with the rules of the game to help you take care of the mundane affairs outside the magic world. And I am the most suitable candidate."

"I have no doubts about your ability and experience. However, I trust my loyal subordinates more." This time, Moriarty did not refuse immediately, but was critical.

"Loyalty does not come from the subject's autonomy, but is created by the monarch's violence and talent." Harold smiled slightly and retorted.

"Hmph, fallacy!"

On the side, White, who had been silent for a long time, was the first to speak up. Obviously, he had an absolutely negative attitude towards the old man's weird "monarch-subject thinking".

"Little guy." Harold glanced at White and curled his lips.

"Last question: It has been dozens of days since the demons captured Rheinburg. How have you survived until now?"

At this time, Moriarty suddenly asked the last question. After this question, the old man's final fate will be officially announced.

"What do you rely on to survive, haha?"

It seemed that he had been asked a very interesting question, and Harold laughed again. Then under the doubtful gazes of the three people, the old man tried his best, stood up tremblingly, and then spoke with a very standard Erathian noble

The butler saluted Moriarty and others in a welcoming gesture.

"Please allow me to introduce you to my original owners." As he spoke, Harold half-turned around and pointed his right hand at the ground: "Lord Luo Yanta, and his wife."

There, there were the two extremely clean white bones.

"You...this old pervert!"

Looking at the old man and then at the skeleton on the ground, Guderian seemed to suddenly understand something and couldn't help but curse loudly. (To be continued...)
