Glar smiled on the surface, but he cursed in his heart. Lance sounded nice on the surface, but in reality, he hoped that Gills would relax the restrictions on commerce, so that his power could gradually penetrate Ark Harbor, and then control Gills to become a puppet lord. However, Glar was neither a member of the Ridley family nor was he loyal to the so-called Earl of Gills, so he did not care about Lance's little tricks.
He was more concerned about how much he could gain from this.
"Then we need to persuade Earl Gills," he said with a smile. "Earl Oban died, and as a friend of his for many years, Earl Gills trusted me quite a bit."
Lance knew that he was deliberately raising his status, but he didn't reveal it on the surface. He followed Glar's words and said, "Then I'll leave this to you. If you can persuade Gills, I think Earl Rackett will give you enough compensation. "
Hillo, who was beside him, was a soldier after all, and he was disgusted by these naked political transactions. "Lord Lance, I'll go patrol the camp," he said.
Lance coughed dryly, "General Hillo, I don't want to stay in this damned temporary camp any longer. I think with the general's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat the unicorn army today, right? "
How could Hillo not understand that he was putting pressure on him? He could only say, "Lord Lance, please wait for my good news."
Lance nodded. "I hope I don't wait too long."
After Hillo left, Glar said, "There's one more thing that Earl Rackett needs to pay attention to."
"What is it?"
"Marquis of Iron Spear." "Earl Oban had made arrangements before he died to marry Miss Jorah to Hoey's son," Glar said in a deep voice. "If nothing unexpected happens, the marriage will be completed within three months. At that time, I'm afraid Earl Gills will not be the only one in charge of Ark Harbor. "
Lance couldn't help but frown, "Three months passed in the blink of an eye. This is not good news. If the Ridley family is related to the Marquis of Iron Spear, then Ark Harbor will not be so convenient to act … "
"Also, Baron Allen promised Lord Oban to look after Earl Gills for him. Therefore, it was best for Earl Rackett to kick this obstacle away first, but he had to prepare what kind of method he would use. In my opinion, using assassins to deal with Baron Allen was a little too reckless. "
"What? A killer? "Lance shook his head." No, I've never heard the Count mention this. "
"What Lord Lance means is that those assassins were not sent by you." This time, even Grar was surprised. Before Ou Ban died, Allen was attacked by a killer at Ark Harbor. Glar had privately thought that it was Rackett who had done it. After all, at that time, only Rackett had the most motivation and strength to buy an assassin group with an average level of Level 15 or above.
Lance could be said to be Rackett's confidant, and as Rackett's representative, he was in charge of all matters related to Ark Harbor. If even he didn't know about this, then unless Rackett had the intention to hide it from him, there was only one possibility left. That was, the previous assassination was done by a second person.
If that was the case, the matter would become even more complicated.
"Let's not talk about that Allen. What kind of storm can a baron cause?" Lance walked back and forth in the tent. "But this Marquis of Iron Spear is a problem. This is a Marquis of strength. With Sir Rackett's strength. Even with the addition of Earl Kent, he would never be a match for him. "
"Indeed, so if Earl Rackett has any plans, he must hurry up and complete them before Miss Jorah gets married. Otherwise …"
"Not necessarily." Lance suddenly thought of something. He tried his best to capture the flash of inspiration in his mind and clapped his hands. "Ha, alright. It is really difficult to complete the goal set by the Count in three months, and it is unrealistic to become enemies with the Marquis of Iron Spear. But let's change the angle. "
"Change the angle?"
Lance sneered, "What if Miss Jorah doesn't get married? Without this marriage, the Marquis of Iron Spear won't care about the affairs of Ark Harbor, will he? "
Glar shook his head and said, "Impossible. Marquis Hoey is a man who values credibility very much. Since he has promised Earl Oban, he cannot go back on his word."
"That's not a problem, Sir Glar. Think about it. If something goes wrong with Miss Jorah, then no matter how much Marquis Hoey values credibility, he won't keep his promise, right? "
'"You mean …" Glar's hand trembled.
"My idea is that if the Marquis of Iron Spear knew that Miss Jorah already had a lover. Or, let him find out that Miss Jorah is no longer a perfect wall. What do you think the Marquis' reaction will be? " Lance said proudly, "I think it would be the lightest punishment for the Marquis of Iron Spear to just withdraw from the marriage."
"Lord Lance's idea is really … really wonderful," Glar said proudly. "However, this matter cannot be completed by Earl Rackett's side. Otherwise, if Marquis Hoey finds out, there will be endless troubles in the future."
Lance was stunned and said truthfully, "I didn't think of this. What a pity."
He had long heard that Earl Oban's sister was beautiful, and he had planned to ruin Jorah's reputation. Not only did he let the Marquis of Iron Spear break off the engagement, but he also took advantage of it. But now that Glar reminded him, he immediately woke up as if he had been drenched in cold water. Indeed, this matter could not be handled by him personally. Otherwise, it would be bad if Hoey found out. No matter how much Rackett liked him, he would not offend Hoey because of him.
Lance broke out in a cold sweat and frowned, "That would be difficult."
"Actually, it's not difficult." "Long before that, I had heard Earl Gills privately express his admiration for Miss Jorah," Glar said with a wicked smile. "If we can do something good. It will ruin Jorah's reputation and get Gills to stand on Earl Rackett's side. What does Lord Lance think? "
Lance couldn't close his mouth for a long time before saying, "Gills and Jorah, aren't they …"
"Yes. But Miss Jorah is too beautiful, and Earl Gills is at the age of youth. Earl Gills shouldn't have such an idea, but wouldn't the Marquis of Iron Spear be even more disappointed in the Ridley family if this were to happen? "
"It's just that Miss Jorah is not simple. She is very strong," Glar said. "Our Earl Gills, on the other hand, is a kid who has not even reached Level 20. If Miss Jorah resists, I'm afraid Earl Gills won't be able to take her. "
Lance gritted his teeth and said, "It's settled. It's really a waste of that brat. Don't worry, Earl Rackett will give him a strong arm, but to achieve his goal, Sir Grar will have to do it. "
"Try to settle this matter within two months." Lance patted Glar on the shoulder.
