"On this point, I think that lord has already made a choice." The big merchant Yodi smiled. He had a signature action. When he was in a good mood, he would gently rub his moustache. Eudy stroked his beard and said, "Earlier, I heard that this lord had a hard time with Geller's son at the academy. However, after Geller went there and put on a good show, this lord didn't make things difficult for Geller and let his son go easily. I guess this lord doesn't want to offend you too much, Lord Wyft, who is behind Geller. "
Bankin snorted and said, "That's for the best. No matter what we do, it's all for the good of the Light Territory. How can I rest assured that this territory will be handed over to a little ghost like Oz? It's better for Lord Wyft to preside over it. "
Wyft laughed dryly, "But this lord is not simple either. You see, after he returned to the city, there was no movement. No one knew what he was up to when he drilled into the City Lord's Mansion." No, this lord did not express his stance, but it was even more shocking. Those old fellows couldn't figure out Lord Wyft's intentions, so they didn't dare to drill into me. "
"Lord Wyft, then what do you think Lord Allen is up to?" Yodi asked.
Wyft circled around twice and said, "Actually, it's not hard to guess that this lord is fighting for the greatest benefit for himself." Think about it, he scared the other guys to piss their pants. Only the two of you dared to stand up and support me, which made me lose a lot of money. First of all, in terms of momentum, we are already so weak that we can't be any weaker. At that time, that lord will naturally have the upper hand in the negotiation. "
Yodi immediately revealed a worried expression.
Wyft waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. As long as I sit in the position of Lord." What he took out now, he would always be able to earn it back in the future. People, you have to look at the long term. Since you've already been here, it's fine to express your stance. Let's go back. It's not a good thing for the City Lord's Mansion to know that you've stayed too long. We have to know when to stop. That's what's most beneficial for us. "
The two of them looked at each other and got up to leave. After they left, the smile on Wyft's face slowly disappeared. He walked to the fireplace and stretched out his hand to warm the fire. "Now is not the time to be happy. If that lord summoned us today, then there would be room for maneuver. If there was no movement today, then something really was going to happen. Sigh, if only he could come back in spring … Time, time … "
The undercurrents in Fenrir City were surging, but the City Lord's Mansion was unexpectedly quiet. But the more Allen didn't say anything, the more uneasy some people felt as if their butts were on fire. Allen, on the other hand, was sitting comfortably as he read the brief that Kayli had handed him. Beside him, the Dark Blade member who had transformed into a maid was listening to her explanation.
From the briefing in hand and Kayli's explanation, the crux of the problem in Fenrir City was pointed at one person, Wyft. This old man was Duruf's uncle, a powerful figure in Fenrir City. However, he didn't get along well with Duruf, and Duruf had threatened to kill him several times. Therefore, before Duruf died, this person was very low-key. Even after Duruf's death, when Fenrir City was in a mess, this person did not stand up to turn the tide and only chose to watch coldly from the sidelines. Therefore, the last time Allen forced his troops into Fenrir City, he did not even know of Wyft's existence when he finally entered the city.
It wasn't until Fenrir City settled down and Oz replaced Duruf as the Lord of the Light Territory that Wyft reappeared in people's line of sight. This person's skill was also quite brilliant. He was not in a hurry to compete with Oz, a junior, for power when he returned to power. Instead, he generously gave up a portion of his family property to fund the reform of Fenrir City, thus winning a great reputation. Only then did he begin to get close to the high-ranking officials of Fenrir City. Those who could be bribed would be bribed, and those who could not be bribed would be squeezed out by various means, and then filled in with his own people.
Wyft was like a wolf wandering around a sheep pen. He didn't rush into the sheep pen to eat Oz, the little fat sheep. Instead, he surrounded the sheep pen and killed the shepherds one by one. In the end, he planned to block the fence so that he could pounce into the sheep pen and kill everyone.
Among the names that Kayli had listed that had been excluded by Wyft was Jeff, the captain of the city defense who had been very loyal to Oz that day. Now, these people were either helpless or forced to fade out of the circle of power in Fenrir City. The current Oz was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If Allen came a little later, this little fellow was afraid that he would be swallowed clean, and not even his bones would be left.
Putting down the briefing, Allen frowned and said, "Doesn't Edward know about the changes in Fenrir City?"
"Lord Edward knows that Fenrir City has a fixed amount of information handed over to Lord every month."
"Then, Edward doesn't have any intention of interfering with Fenrir City at all?"
Kayli shook her head and said, "It can't be said that there aren't any. In fact, if it weren't for our Dark Blade, several of the people who were excluded by Wyft would have been assassinated by Wyft."
"Assassination?" Allen pulled his finger and said, "Who are they?"
"First is Captain Jeff, and then these few …" Kayli pointed out the few people on the list.
There weren't many people, but all four of them held relatively important positions. Kayli added, "Although Lord Edward didn't interfere too much, from the instructions he gave back, Lord Edward seemed to want to fish up the big fish Wyft at once. But last week, he gave us new instructions … "
"What instructions?"
Kayli lowered her head and said, "He said the fisherman is here. There's nothing for him here."
When Allen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This fellow knows how to lighten his burden. Since these people were saved by you, you should know where they are now, right? "
The maid nodded.
"Bring them to me. Remember to hide."
"Subordinate knows."
After Kayli left, Lucy asked, "How are you going to deal with that Wyft?"
"This is a cunning old man." Allen shook his head and said, "You heard it just now. Wyft had already withdrawn from the circle of power in Fenrir City before Duruf's death. Even when we were at the gates of the city, we didn't see this person contribute the slightest bit of strength." But now that Fenrir City is stable, he jumped out and wanted to fight for power. He clearly saw that the Light Territory was promising. "
"Not only is it promising, it's simply a bright future." Lucy smiled and said, "Not to mention the farming that the Light Territory is supporting, just a Glorious Light will bring an incomparably bright future to this territory." Of course, the premise is that you, Lord Allen, can continue to raise your rank. It's not hard to imagine how many people will pour into Glory Light as your influence gradually expands. Just the tariffs from these people were a considerable amount of wealth. Not to mention the other business opportunities brought about by the increase in population, this Wyft is clearly trying to squeeze out Little Oz so that he can get enough money. "
"Cunning old fox." Allen smiled and said, "I believe Edward has already made arrangements. With his temperament, he wants to stew Wyft in warm water." Edward is good at and passionate about setting up. Look at Rackett's Mountain City, for example. His set is actually not bad. At the very least, getting rid of Wyft won't cause too much turmoil in Fenrir City. "However, the drawbacks are also very obvious. Wyft will lose inexplicably, but for others, this method is too devoid of deterrence."
"There's no guarantee that there won't be a second Wyft. Even if not now, there will always be in the future. The reason is not me, but Oz. As long as they feel that Oz is not tough enough, there will be a second Wyft, or even a third or fourth. "
Allen stood up and said, "It's not enough to get rid of Wyft once and for all. And there's a way to get rid of him. On the way back, I told Oz that I wanted him to come out and be a villain this time. This evil person was put on a show for those with ulterior motives. To be a good lord, to put it bluntly, it's nothing more than a combination of kindness and might. As for the gift, it's already been given out. Now, it's time for our little Oz to show off his might. "
He walked towards the gate.
"Are you going to find Little Oz?"
"No, when Kayli brings her here, I'll talk to Little Oz together." Allen blinked and said, "Now, let's go see our Highness Lily. I hope she wants me to save a woman, Rou Gu Naga … "
"Scram." Lucy rolled her eyes and pointed out the door.
"Yes, sir." Allen bowed solemnly and then left with a smile.
Knocking on Lily's door, it was opened by a Sea Dragon Knight. The Knight nodded and turned to the side to let Allen enter the room. In the hall of the room, Lily sat cross-legged, holding a large plate in her hand, throwing the fruits into her mouth. She didn't look good when she ate.
"You're here." Lily ate a few blackberries in three or two mouthfuls and tilted her head to look at Allen. "You look much better than before. Looks like you've broken through the Origin Energy Confinement? "
"I was just lucky." Allen smiled.
"What dog shit luck." Lily put down the fruit plate and jumped to the ground. "Come with me. She won't be able to hold on for long."
"Who is she?" Allen followed behind her and asked casually.
"That's not your concern," Lily said coldly. "You just need to transform her for me so that she can survive. Then I'll give you five Sea Dragon Knight, and our deal will be complete. "
Allen wasn't surprised by Her Highness' coldness. The Naga Clan had never had a good impression of humans, and Lily's reaction was reasonable. He thought so too. This servant transformation was just a deal with Lily. What did it have to do with him who the other party was?
Lily stopped in front of a door, knocked on it, and whispered, "He's here."
A woman's voice came from inside and said calmly, "Come in."
Lily nodded and pushed Allen. "Hurry up and go in. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you dare to do anything other than save people, I'll dare to destroy this city! "
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll listen to Your Highness' instructions." Allen said deliberately.
