Broad did have the intention to cooperate with Sean, so he knew everything about Sean and fully demonstrated his sincerity in seeking cooperation.

Therefore, Sean soon learned about many situations and problems in the Ryan Kingdom today, especially with a clearer understanding of the situation.

The so-called Senei nobles and foreign nobles refer to distinguishing them from the Tonis Fortress as the center. To put it simply, all the nobles in the original Principal of Ryan were Senei nobles. The new and old nobles of Ryan, who had almost irreconcilable conflicts and contradictions due to certain interests and positions, faced with the original Darbiang nobles who suddenly poured into the aristocratic system of the Kingdom of Ryan, they showed a rare political stance: a strong rejection of the nobles outside the Principal of Ryan.

It is true that as Broad said, in the face of absolute interests, unless it is a bloody enemy, there is no grudge that cannot be let go.

In this way, the Sene noble group led by the Marquis of Thorn Grass reached a conscious resonance before the nobles outside the Continental reacted and joined forces. In the foreseeable half a year, those of the former Dabiang Kingdom nobles would probably be very sad. After all, these issues involving interests will definitely show an extremely tough and aggressive attitude.

When the so-called nobles outside the Great Wall, the original Darbiang nobles finally understood and began to hang out, they were already at a disadvantage. At least when one side was prepared and made full use of the battle for half a year, the gap between the two sides would only be wider. Even if the shrewd politicians led by the Dabarbiang nobles, it would be difficult to reverse the situation in a short time. Once the time was long, with the fence-bearing personality of the nobles, no one could guarantee the unity and centripetal force of the nobles outside the Great Wall.

If internal strife broke out in this situation, then the so-called nobles outside the Great Wall will definitely be at a disadvantage for a long time in the next decade.

Unfortunately, Shaun, who started his business through this war, was included in the list of nobles outside the Seizure. In fact, even Asuna, G. Evans was rejected by the Sene nobles, and Shaun did not expect to enter the circle of the Sene nobles. However, if he wanted to attack Asuna blatantly, the Sene nobles did not have the courage to do so, so Asuna became the only nobleman in Shaun's seven-man alliance who was not listed as a target.

But this is only temporary.

Once the nobles outside the Selangor are suppressed in the overall situation, the nobles of Sene will definitely force Asuna to choose to take sides. With Sean's understanding of Asuna, she will definitely not abandon the alliance. Now her geographical location is completely blocked in the Garold Fortress. With this situation in China, if the foreign material route is cut off, Asuna will immediately fall into a very passive dilemma.

Thinking of this, Sean knew why when Marquis Devin proposed to give all the original Dabiang territory within the Garold Fortress to Asuna, the interest groups led by Marquis Thorn Grass not only did not object, but also voted in favor. Because in this way, they trapped Asuna's beast in disguise, and even completely kept her away from the political center of the entire Ryan Kingdom.

At this moment, Sean suddenly felt a sense of sadness of killing a donkey and removing the mill.

"There are seven marquises in the old-school Ryan Kingdom, including Asuna. What is certain is that Commander Reud will never participate in the plan for his daughter. Moreover, the sword of Ryan has no other actions except for the proposal to transfer all the Dabiang territory within the Garold Fortress to Asuna...at least it did not clearly express his political position, and the remaining three families..." Sean looked at Broad. Then he spoke in a deep voice, "All have joined the interest group of Marquis of Thorn Grass?"

The predecessor of the Kingdom of Ryan: During the Principality of Ryan, there were a total of seven marquises prefixed with the "strength".

Among them, the Ivans family occupied two seats, the remaining five were Marquis Devin Sodel Shaber, who had the name of "Ryan's Sword", Marquis Zobe Rodish of the Gray Night Territory, Marquis Fosse Sebarox, Marquis of Thorngrass McKel Ait, and Marquis Karlovchi Finlistin.

Except Asuna, the other six people were regular visitors to the twelve superior nobles of Ryan.

However, what makes Sean feel a little subtle is that the Shaber family, which is basically hostile to Sean, did not participate in the interest group of Marquis of Thorn Grass. Instead, the Finlistin family joined the interest group on the condition of excluding themselves. It is precisely because of this that their interest group is equivalent to pushing Asuna to the opposite side. In this way, Asuna's father certainly cannot participate in this interest group.

These seven old-school marquises, who must be part of the list of dukes that the Ryan Kingdom has already drafted.

Duke-level aristocratic conflict. This is not a fun game.

When Brod heard Shaun's words, he naturally knew what Shaun was worried about, so he spoke, "My family has not decided its position yet."

Sean raised his brow slightly.

"But my cousin who is competing for inheritance rights is more inclined to this interest group." Seeing Sean's expression, Brod said calmly again.

"Are you threatening me?" Sean's face was already cold.

"No." Brod's heart suddenly became terrified. A sudden cold murderous aura made his heart twitch, as if he was pinched by an invisible hand, but his face remained normal, and his voice seemed to be trembling without a trace. "I'm just making a mutually beneficial proposal to you... If you think this proposal is good, then we can cooperate so that your enemies will not only lose one help, but you can gain an ally."

"It just doesn't make me feel moved." Sean thought for a moment. He was still very satisfied with Broad's sincerity. However, if it were just like this, he would have no benefit at all, because even the ally Broad mentioned was just a secret ally who could not disclose each other's identity and relationship like Lonnis did, which would have no substantial benefits for Sean at all.

But Sean happened to be a typical person who did not see a rabbit or a hawk.

"I can give you a batch of gray night mines." After thinking for a while, Brod said, "It's probably enough for you to arm a main force."

Gray Night Mine, a rare metal ore mixed with trace magic, usually appears as an accompanying ore. However, it is extremely rare in the territory of the Rodex family to appear as a non-companiment ore, which is also the reason why the name Gray Night Led. However, Sean knew that Gray Night Mine was only rare on the surface. For the underground world, Gray Night Mine is a popular ore that can almost be said to be flooded.

However, for countries on the surface, gray night mines are still a relatively important resource.

Synthetic iron smelted from this ore combined with two other common ordinary ores can be used to make a special armor. This type of armor was not allowed to be equipped by players in the game, but according to the party's calculations, the texture of this armor is equivalent to weak bronze-level equipment, and it also has a certain degree of magic resistance, and its protection effect is equivalent to the level of heavy armor. However, its weight is only half of the heavy armor - basically equivalent to the level of light armor.

The standard equipment used in the silent mountains, known as Ryan's strongest infantry legion, is this special armor.

However, in Sean's eyes, this "strongest" is actually very humid: because of such powerful equipment, the Silent Mountains are just quasi-level four-level army. If this set of equipment is removed, the Silent Mountains will even be directly down to the quasi-level three-level army, which may not even be considered a third-level army. From this, you can imagine how bad the military literacy and discipline of this army are.

If Sean replaced all three main legions under his command with this standard equipment, Sean believed that these three armies could even be directly upgraded to the level quasi-level five, and if the steel wings and impact shields were added, they might be able to directly break through the limit of the level 6 army.

Level 6, this is the limit of the general army.

Starting from this watershed, if the army's combat effectiveness level is to be further improved, then all the ranks of the legion need to be improved - for players, the ranks are the representative of strength, but for these indigenous people, the ranks are not the same as the realm of strength. To reach the level of a seventh-level legion, all the military members must be the sixth-level rank; level 8 is the seventh-level, and level 9 is the eighth-level.

As for the tenth-level army, there is only one miracle continent.

So Sean was really a little moved by Broad's proposal of this condition.

"Quantity?" Sean asked.

"Ten thousand." After a little contemplation, Broad spoke.

"Not enough." Sean shook his head straightforwardly.

If only the number of 10,000 soldiers could be armed, this would not be of much help to Sean. At most, he would just pile up the steel wings to level 6, and he could not even expand the scale. And the most important thing is that these materials were provided by Broad. Once the war broke out, he would not even have backup resources to supplement, which would mean that he had a weakness that was completely held by Broad.

"I can only provide up to 20,000 sets of standard equipment like the silent mountains."

"I don't need it." Sean refused directly, "I want your mining rights."

"This is impossible!" Broad immediately exclaimed, and almost jumped up. "If you give all the mining rights, the Gray Night Corner will no longer be the Gray Night Corner. The mining rights of the Gray Night Mining are the foundation for our Roddis family to survive!"

"I don't mean to permanently occupy the right to mine the gray night ore." Sean looked at the excited Broad and reached out to signal him to be calm. "This way, I only want your three-year mining rights for the gray night ore. You exchange the right to mine the gray night ore for the position of the head of your Roddis family. I think this transaction is very fair, right?"

Hearing Sean's words, Brod couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Sean knew that he was calculating the gains and losses, so he didn't disturb him. After all, it would be a lucky thing for him to obtain the mining rights of the gray night mine, but even if he couldn't get it, it didn't matter, because he had discovered a path to the abyss. After the territory situation completely stabilized in the future, he would prepare to go to the underground world for a walk. At that time, the gray night mine would still have as much as it would have.

"The vein discovered in the Gray Night Gate can only produce 100,000 tons of gray night ore every year. Of course, this is limited by the current mining technology, but theoretically it can reach about 200,000 tons per year." Brod did not answer Sean's words, but suddenly introduced the gray night ore. "Take the 100,000 tons of gray night ore as an example, in fact, after the smelting process, it is probably about 5,000 sets of standard equipment for the Silent Mountain Legion... So even if you need three years of mining rights, it will be only 15,000 sets of standard equipment for the Silent Mountain Legion. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for me to give you 20,000 sets of standard equipment? "

"Different." Sean shook his head, "I'll ask you, how many years can the gray night mine be mined in the gray night collar?"

"In terms of annual mining capacity of 100,000 tons, it can be mined for about fifty years." Broad hesitated for a moment. In the end, he told Sean about this kind of secret to the Roddis family.

"That is to say, the amount of minerals is still about five million tons." Sean nodded slightly, "What if I have a way to make your annual mining volume reach 300,000 tons?"

"How is this possible!" Broad subconsciously chose to refute, but seeing Sean's calm appearance, he swallowed all the things he wanted to say later.

"I want you three years of mining rights. If you agree, I can also teach you this technology." Sean said softly, "and I can guarantee that the remains under the Gray Night Deposit will never be touched. It is still the secret of your Rodex family."

Hearing Sean casually telling the story of the ruins under the gray night deposit, Broad's face suddenly changed. The secret of the ruins. Even in the Roddies family, only the most core people knew about it. He knew about it after accidentally eavesdropping on it. The other candidate heirs did not know about it. This is also the reason why Broad wanted to be the only heir in any case.

Because on the Miracle Continent, anything involving the word "relic" must be priceless, and it may even be a shortcut to make people become powerful.

This is also the reason why Broad wants to try his best to avoid Sean from interfering in mining the gray night mine.

"Believe me." Seeing Broad's expression, Sean knew why he refused to let himself interfere in mining the gray night mine. "If you don't have my skills, then it will take at least twelve years before you can dig out the entrance to the ruins."

This time, Sean did not deceive Broad.

There is indeed an ancient ruin underground in the Gray Night Gate, and it is also an eighth-level team dungeon. When this dungeon was opened, it was already the time when the game version updated the fourth expansion pack. The timeline at that time had been moved to 1886. It is now twelve years later, so Sean said that twelve years later is not a joke.

However, Level 8 is only the minimum entry threshold for this copy.

He still remembers that the president of the guild he was in pulled the entire elite group to open the land. Basically, all the staff were top-level eighth level and still died in this dungeon. It took at least nearly a month to barely open the land to the third boss. It is said that he is already the best performance in all the teams in the Southern Continent that have opened this dungeon.

When the team led by Sean was finally able to play this dungeon, the strategies of the first four bosses were already so detailed that they could not be detailed, so they did not spend too much time to keep up with the progress team at that time. Later, when fighting the final boss, because of a terrain bug he accidentally discovered, after sacrificing half of the team members, they finally killed this boss and became the first team to pass the level.

And in this world, the eighth level is equivalent to the superior gold.

Sean doesn't think there will be so many superior gold strong men under Broad's command, because even Florence, now known as the largest number of powerful men under Ryan's Kingdom, cannot gather ten superior gold strong men. Therefore, even if Broad really digs out such a passage that can open the main gate of the ruins in a short period of time, he will definitely not be able to get this dungeon. Therefore, Sean believes that Broad will come to ask for help in the end.

"If you need nine hundred thousand tons of gray night mine, I can satisfy you." Broad pondered for a long time, but in the end he found that he had no right to choose at all, so he could only speak, "But I can't give you the mining rights directly every year... Let's do this, I'll give you 150,000 tons every year, and all within six years."

"If you want to pay in installments, then I want one million tons, which can be paid in five years, but I must provide me with 200,000 tons of raw ore from the gray night ore every year. I do not accept any semi-finished products that have been purified or smelted." Sean refused without hesitation, "If you cannot accept this proposal, then we have nothing to talk about, and I will pretend that you have not been here."

"Trade." This time, Broad just thought for three seconds and agreed to Sean's proposal without hesitation.

So, the two sides quickly reached a consensus on this matter and signed a secret agreement with each other to prevent Brod from turning against others in the future. However, in this case, Brod suffered a little loss. After all, Sean completely took the initiative in this matter, so he had no evidence or handle that could be left to Brod. However, in the current situation where he needs Sean's assistance, Brod could only choose to shut up silently.

When the agreement was completed, Broad quickly left the small hotel without stopping for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Sean wrote a letter to Snowfanio, asking her to send the letter to Asuna as fast as possible. In the contents of the letter, Sean had already briefly explained the current situation of the Ryan Kingdom, as well as the conspiracy and tricks prepared by the nobles. Although he simply mentioned a few words in a few words, Sean believed that with Asuna's ability, he would definitely be able to quickly discover the traps in this and respond in advance.

Of course, Sean also mentioned Broad Rodds and told him about his private deal. This is also a way of guarantee for Sean. After all, although his approach and impression of Broad has changed, it does not mean that he can trust this person immediately, even if he does not have any red halo on his body.

But these are all secondary issues.

The most important thing is that at the end of the letter, Sean explained the dangers of the current situation, so he decided to change his mind temporarily, no longer meet with them, but go to the capital by himself, and everyone can meet at the manor provided to him by Broad. At the same time, Sean had also told Asuna to tell her not to meet with Duke Hatch and others, so as not to have some unnecessary situations and troubles. As for his own safety, he would find a way to solve it.
