181. Stupid Elsie

The Boulder family is also a relatively famous family in the Kingdom of Dabiang.

As the Boulder family, which started as a businessman, is most famous for political investment. This family has a very keen political tendency. No matter what major happens in the kingdom, the family can make great gains from it. Even when Dabiang was destroyed, the family only gave up all the irrelevant family territories, but its strength has not weakened. Even in the seat of the powerful marquis of the Principal of Ryan, there were four powerful marquis named Boulder.

And the guy in front of me who seems to be similar to me is actually a member of the Boulder family?

When did the Boulders not become political investors and change their careers to become knights?

But soon, Sean realized something again and suddenly spoke, "Is this Baron Modger?"

"Yes." Before Kahus could reply, the young man nodded with a sad face, "I am Baron Modger, Elsie Boulder... I'm very sorry for letting you encounter such a thing. All this is my fault. In any case, please give me a chance to make up for it."

"Uh, this is not your fault alone." Sean's face muscles twitched a few times. He had never seen a lord, or the nobles would be so humble. In his impression, those who could own a territory, even if they were not considered noble jazz, were basically the same as peacocks with open screens, not to mention that the baron could have officially been included in the aristocratic class - although it was only the lowest level.

"Uncle Hand, he wasn't like this before." Elsie, the young baron, sighed softly, "Maybe there's some reason."

Of course, Sean couldn't get into the mouth about such a topic.

"Uncle Cahusse, do you know who else is in Uncle Hand's family?" asked the young Baron Elsey.

"I heard that there was a wife who had divorced many years ago. Later, she seemed to have taken her son to the Millennium Covenant Empire." Cahus thought for a moment, and then replied, "If you need it, I can set out to investigate immediately."

"Let's go investigate." Baron Alsey said.

"Yes." Cahus nodded, but then said, "But sir, if I leave you..."

"It's okay." Baron Elsey smiled, "I'll go back to the manor right away, and with His Excellency Sean, the safety issues should be guaranteed."

"Ah, no, I just..."

Before Sean could finish her words, Kahusseus had already walked up, held Sean with a sincere look on his face, and said, "His Excellency Sean, Lord Lord, please ask you! Please protect him!"

"No, I mean..."

Kahusseus was as silent and capable as he was. As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his hand and turned his horse onto his horse. With the reins trembling, he ran towards the direction he was chased by the Dragon. He didn't know where he was going, leaving only Sean and Elsie here with big eyes staring at each other, and he had no idea what to say.

After a while, Alsey spoke, "His Excellency Sean, I'm going to trouble you next."

After saying that, Elsie had already turned over the horse, and his movements were indeed fluent, which also showed that his riding skills were indeed more exquisite than Sean. After getting on the horse, Elsie had already rode on the horse. When she turned around, she found that Sean was still in place, so she called again: "What are you still standing there? Blackstone Town is right in front of us, we are going to get there before dark."

Looking at Elsie's familiar appearance and the kind of solemn thing that Cahus just now seemed to be entrusting the funeral, Sean was simply devastated. He just came to Black Stone Town to buy some black steel stones and build a castle, and then hit a few relatively low-level dungeons to make some experience points. How come he wants to protect this baron in the blink of an eye?

And judging from the appearance, this matter seems to be a bit dangerous.

Wait, the plot should not be like this! - Sean's heart was roaring wildly, like thousands of grass and mud horses galloping by.

But in the end, Sean went on the road to Blackstone together.

Of course, along the way, Sean maintained his dissatisfaction with Alsey's familiar character with some kind of silence.

At most, when Elsie said something that made him want to complain, Sean would snort or sneer. However, as Elsie began to talk about the situation of his territory, Sean could finally shed tears of sympathy for him - he always thought that the situation of his territory was already very bad, and it was not until now that he finally realized that he was still lucky.

"Thanks to the gods for letting me meet Elsie." Sean was silent in his heart.

In fact, Sean doubted whether the young Baron Elsie Boulder, the young baron, offended someone in the family. Because as a baron, the land he inherited was not a baron of standard size, but a territory that was only slightly larger than the average jazz lord - only a small town, a small village and a mini estate.

According to normal circumstances, if a baron inherited a relatively small territory, there will inevitably be some abundant materials in the territory to make up for it. But in fact, this Modegic territory is not only very small, but also the land is relatively barren.

Except for some limited places, most land is not suitable for planting crops. This limited place is all concentrated in the mini manor where Elsie lives - the entire manor covers an area of ​​less than ten acres, and most of the area in the manor is planted with various fruit trees. The main building is not even a stone building, but a four-story wooden building. According to the aristocratic rules, other houses in the manor cannot be taller than the main building, so the scattered pieces of the other three-story houses in the manor occupy the few remaining areas in the manor.

And such a manor can only live in at most twenty or thirty people.

As for the other small village, it was really small. There were less than twenty families in the whole village, only six or seventy people in total - larger than the manor that the nobleman Elsie lived in. Is this what people did? And because the village was too poor, Elsie completely exempted all taxes from the village. If there was not a prosperous Blackstone town supporting his territory income, Elsie would probably become the first noble in the Boulder family to go bankrupt due to poor management?

However, Blackstone Town said it was prosperous because the entire town relied on the Black Steel Stone to make a business, but most of the income was used to purchase grain to maintain the food for the entire town.

And the most outrageous thing is that the stone making factory that can produce black steel stone is not a product under Alsey’s name!

"Is the owner of the stone making factory a great beauty?" Sean finally couldn't help but complain instead of snorting or sneering.

"No, it's a middle-aged man," Elsie said, "He's as thin as a monkey. I always think he must be malnourished."

"That middle-aged man is your lover?" This kind of thing is not surprising. Many nobles like this.

"How is that possible!" Elsie looked shocked, "The person I like is the youngest daughter of Duke Sethros, I am just about to..."

Sean doesn't need to listen to what Elsie said later. Because he remembered correctly, the Duke of the Kingdom of Dabiang, who advocated peace with Asuna, would die at the hands of his political opponents in another year. He was not very clear about what was happening, but the only thing he knew was that after the death of the duke, all the children of his family were demoted to slaves and all the property was divided.

"So what are your handles being controlled by that factory manager?" Sean couldn't help but finally interrupt Elsie.

“No, either.”

"Then is there a huge pit in your head!" Sean finally couldn't bear it, "This stone factory is not yours, why do you have to pay for it to excavate?"

The Black Reef Grassland originally belonged to Viscount Sharov's territory. Later, after Viscount Sharov died in battle, this territory now became Asuna's, so the right to excavate the territory is naturally on Asuna. If Blackstone Town wants to continue to dig black reef stones into black steel stones, it must pay Asuna to obtain mining rights. Otherwise, Asuna has the right to send troops to expel or even kill them on the spot.

But what Sean didn't expect was that the mining rights and fees were paid by the idiot Elsie.

If that stone factory belongs to Elsey, then it is a different matter. However, this stone factory does not belong to Elsey. So why does he need to pay for this stone factory? Sean's only idea is that there must be some ulterior motive between the two, but it was denied by Elsey. So Sean can only say that Elsey is definitely a fool.

How could any noble manage territory like this?

"But this stone factory belongs to the Boulder family's industry." Elsey frowned and said, "Then isn't it normal for me to pay for my family industry?"

"So, do you have shares in this family industry?"

"Share? What is that?"

"It means, do you have any dividends?" Sean couldn't stand it anymore. "Did you get the dividends of gold coins for every order transaction in this stone factory?"

"It seems... no..." Elsie thought for a moment before speaking, "The factory manager said that business has been really bad recently, and no one has come to place an order..."

"Business is not good?" Sean sneered, "Did you learn the spirit of the chivalrous spirit and learn your brains?"

"Hey! I'm going to be angry when you say that!"

The two of them rushed to Heishi Town while making noise, and finally arrived at the gate of Heishi Town in the evening. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
