After coming to the Holy Continent, due to age and physical reasons.
Natasha's grandfather Frank Sr. no longer has the energy to run the family.
In this way, everything has been handed over to Natasha's father Pursi.
But, even so.
Old Frank's words are still very useful.
As soon as he appeared, all the Frank family members immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Father, sit over here!" Pursi even stood up and gave up his seat.
"I won't take the main seat. I'm just here to listen to your discussions!" Old Frank waved his hand.
"Father, I know I was wrong!"
At this time, Steele, who had spoken earlier, immediately admitted his mistake.
"Well, it's good to know that you were wrong!"
"You all must understand that Baron Nalant is now famous throughout the Holy Continent and is the great backer of all our nobles in the Glory Continent."
"Compared with other nobles in the past, our Frank family, apart from being good at doing business, there is nothing that can compare with them."
"The reason why we are so stable now and are not coveted by the principalities of the Holy Continent is because of Natasha, and even more so because of Baron Nalant."
"So, no matter what from now on, all members of our Frank family must respect Baron Nalant in awe!"
"Besides, it's not easy for Natasha anymore, and we can't really use her as a bargaining chip. Do you understand?"
"I understand, father (grandfather)!"
There was once again a unified response from the audience.
"Well, in that case, let's start discussing!" Old Frank nodded and said nothing more.
Then, members of the Frank family held a brief discussion and quickly came to a result.
That is to build it according to the standard baron castle.
Although the baron's castle is indeed smaller, it can leave more money to buy serfs and build villages and towns.
This is the most basic existence of a noble lord family.
"Father, is there no problem with our decision?"
After the outcome of the discussion came out, Pursi still looked at Old Frank.
"Well, now this is the only option that is most suitable for us!"
Old Frank nodded.
"Then I will have the steward of the principality's caravan come here now." Pursi nodded.
Immediately, the steward of the principality was quickly called over.
The steward of this principality is named Matthew, and he comes from the principality of Kandar.
Although the Principality of Kandar is not famous, it is also one of the top ten principalities in the Holy Continent.
Because it is very close to the Black Rock Plain.
In this way, the Principality of Kandar has developed a new kind of business in recent years.
That is to help these small nobles in Black Rock Plain build castles.
The cost of a Viscount Castle is actually not high, only less than 300,000 gold coins.
Among them are the cost of transporting materials and materials, as well as labor costs.
The most indispensable thing in the Holy Continent is cheap serfs.
In this way, as long as the serfs are fed and given some cheap wages, they will work hard.
This time, they were introduced by an old customer and came to a territory near Stormwind City.
At this moment, it seems that the few foreign little nobles in this territory have finally reached an agreement.
"Count Purse, right? I wonder what kind of castle you are planning to build this time?"
In Matthew's view, the other party could actually hold the title of earl.
Even if you can't come up with the gold coins to build the count's castle, you can still build the viscount's castle.
And this time I'm afraid I can earn more than 400,000 gold coins.
On the contrary, when he returned to the principality, he would definitely be praised by His Majesty the King.
By the way, after the contract is completed, I might be able to go to Stormwind City not far away.
I heard that the food there is as irresistible as the wine.
Speaking of which, the Frank family is really lucky.
Although located in the most remote area of the Black Rock Plains.
But it's close to Stormwind City.
It only takes about a day's journey to get there.
Maybe with better luck, I can make some money from Stormwind City's caravans in the future.
"Your Excellency Matthew, we have already discussed and we are going to build a standard baron castle..."
"Viscount's castle, right? The price...what, a standard baron's castle? Are you sure?"
Matthew didn't react at first.
But after reacting, he looked at Count Purse in disbelief.
"Sir, we do!" Although Pursi felt her face burning, she still nodded seriously.
"Your Excellency, this territory of yours is at least the size of a viscounty territory!" Matthew was a little reluctant.
I originally thought I could earn 400,000 gold coins.
But now there are only 150,000 gold coins at most.
"Sir Matthew, we have confirmed it!"
"Okay then, let's sign a contract!" Matthew shook his head.
Then he took out a contract.
This is the deed for the construction of the baronial castle.
But after Pursi took it and looked at it, he immediately frowned.
"Sir Matthew, why didn't the moat and drawbridge be included in the contract for the construction of this baron's castle?"
"Oh, Your Excellency Pursi, this baron's castle does not have a moat because it does not occupy much area. In fact, it is usually built on a small hill!"
"But Sir Matthew, because our Frank Baron territory is flat and there are no hills that meet the requirements, we can only build on flat land!" Pursi frowned.
If the castle built on this flat ground had no moat, its defensive properties would be less than half the same.
"Sir Pursi, we can actually help you build the moat, but it will cost extra!" Matthew didn't panic after hearing this, and immediately gave the answer.
"Then how many gold coins will be added to the suspension bridge and moat?"
"About 20,000 gold coins!" Matthew replied.
"So expensive?" Pursi frowned immediately.
Twenty thousand gold coins, not two thousand gold coins.
"Your Excellency Pursi, the minimum standard for the moat is twenty meters wide, and a suspension bridge will be built by then. The price is actually not expensive!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We in the Principality of Darkan are also the most honest when doing business. After signing the contract, we will definitely help you complete it according to the contract to ensure quality."
"In addition, we have not signed a contract yet. If you are not satisfied with the price, you can consider it again!"
Matthew was determined to get this little foreign aristocrat.
If the other party is building a Viscount Castle, then I will definitely not use this contract.
After all, 400,000 yuan can already make a lot of money, so there is no need to sour the relationship between the two parties.
But he was still a little dissatisfied with the deal, which cost less than 150,000 gold coins.
In this way, there will be an increase of 20,000.
Not too much, but not too little either.
Upon hearing this, all the Frank family members immediately showed slight anger.
Obviously, the other party has really convinced them.
But it is true that there are not many principalities responsible for building castles, only one or two.
The other principality was even further away from their territory, at least a month's journey away.
In this case, if the principality is asked to help build it, the cost will only be higher.
"well!"
Purse sighed.
Even if it was a temporary increase of 20,000 gold coins, he could only accept it.
"My Lord Earl, a huge motorcade came not far from the camp. It's Miss Natasha who is back."
And just when Pursi was about to say yes, a report from his subordinates came from outside the tent.
"Natasha is back?" Pursi's face suddenly showed surprise.
Old Frank beside him also showed joy.
Today, Natasha's status in the Frank family is higher than before.
And this time they actually returned with a convoy. Could it be that Nalant knew about their arrival and specially sent some gifts?
"Yes, Lord Earl, it seems that Baron Nalant is also here, but I can't be sure!"
"Baron Narante is here too?"
The surprise on Pursi's face became even more severe.
The other Frank family members also stood up excitedly.
"Baron Nalant? Is he the Nalant from Stormwind City?"
At this moment, Matthew was also stunned.
Naturally, he didn't recognize Natasha, whom the servant reported to earlier, and didn't pay much attention to her.
But Baron Nalant, if there is no second Baron Nalant in this holy continent.
That's probably the one from Stormwind City.
But, do these fussy little nobles from the countryside really know Baron Nalant?
Unfortunately, no one has time to pay attention to Matthew now.
"Sir Matthew, I'm very sorry. I have an important guest coming here. Please wait for me in the camp first."
"I will sign a contract with you later!"
After saying that, Pursi quickly walked out of the tent.
However, when he suddenly saw his father standing up, he immediately turned around and helped old Frank and went together.
Naturally, the other Frank family members did not dare to neglect and followed him out one after another.
Matthew looked at the empty tent, not angry at all.
Instead, he frowned in thought.
After thinking about it, he simply followed him out.
"Narant, this is my father's temporary camp."
"I heard that they are planning to build a castle by that river, so that the river water can be diverted to be used as a moat!"
The team of Nalant and others have not yet arrived at the gate of the camp.
Natasha has already started to introduce the family situation happily.
Although she didn't want Nalant to invest too much in the Frank family because of her.
But Nalant's active participation despite dissuasion moved her even more.
In this way, Natasha's journey was so sweet.
"Well, there really aren't many hills on this black rock plain, so building a castle does require a moat."
"Although moats are often just decorations, they are still necessary just in case."
Narante nodded.
"Narant, my father and grandfather are coming out!"
Just when the convoy was about to arrive at the gate of the camp, Natasha had already seen Puersi and others who hurriedly came to greet them.
At this moment, Natasha became nervous.
Because it seems that Narant and his father and others have not actually met each other.
Fortunately, Nalant was very calm, which gave her some peace of mind.
"Meet Baron Narante!"
When the motorcade just stopped, Pursi immediately stepped forward to salute and greet.
"Count Purse, you're welcome!"
"This is Mr. Frank, I think. I have always supported Natasha in mentioning you. I am really happy to see you!"
Narant was very polite, after all, he had to take Natasha's feelings into consideration.
Without any pretense, he got out of the car and saluted Old Frank and Purse.
"Baron Frank, you are so polite!" Old Frank did not expect Nalant to have such respect for him, and he was a little flattered at the moment.
"Meet Baron Narante!"
At this time, other Frank family members also greeted Nalant.
"Hello, your Excellencies!"
"I came unexpectedly this time, I hope I didn't disturb you!"
Narant responded again.
"Baron Nalant, it is an honor for our Frank family to have you here."
"Natasha, please quickly invite Baron Nalant into the camp. Let's sit down and discuss it later!" Puerth immediately greeted Natasha.
Nowadays, Narant is not what he used to be. Even the kings of the empire have to respect him respectfully.
In this way, Pursi and others are still under pressure.
"Narant, let's talk after we go in!" Natasha immediately took Narant's arm after hearing this.
"Okay!" Nalant nodded and immediately followed Natasha towards the camp.
The convoy at the rear was handed over to the Frank family by Raymond, Quick and others.
The members of the Frank family looked at the familiar barrels of wine, as well as the carts of brown sugar, white sugar and other items, with shocked expressions in their eyes.
The value of these mere dozens of carts of goods could reach tens of thousands of gold coins.
"I have met Lord Baron Nalant!"
"I have met Lord Baron Nalant!"
As Nalant walked forward, the servants and servants of the Frank family around him also greeted Nalant respectfully.
Obviously, Narant was treated as an absolute VIP.
Soon, under the leadership of Natasha, Nalant was taken to a rest tent that was the same size as the conference tent.
There are sofas, tea tables and other items placed in the tent, which are obviously used to receive guests.
"Baron Nalant, please don't be offended, our place is really too simple!" Pursi said apologetically.
"Count Pulse, you are too foreign. You are Natasha's father. You can just call me Narant!" Narant naturally wouldn't mind.
"How is this possible, Baron Nalant? Now you are the glory of all our glorious continents. Therefore, we must maintain enough respect for you!" Pursi shook his head firmly.
Nalant smiled when he heard this and didn't force anything.
At this time, the servant also brought tea and cakes.
And just when Pursi was about to invite Nalant to enjoy tea, a person suddenly walked in from outside the tent.
It was Matthew, the caravan steward.
"Your Excellency Matthew, the contract will take a while to be signed. We are currently receiving an important guest." Upon seeing this, Pursi immediately spoke to Matthew for fear of disturbing Nalant.
"Your Excellency Pursi, I'm not here because of the contract!" But Matthew shook his head.
Then he looked at Nalant, "Matthew Kelly, the honorary viscount of the Principality of Darkan, has met Baron Nalant!"
