Chapter 376: The Compromise In the Crystal Ball

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The room was slightly dark. Baron Dylan deliberately chosee a dimmer candle light.

His face, which was distorted due to his grievance, was gloomy and uncertain in the candle light. His eyes, filled with Haze, revealed a sense of humiliation and suppressed a deep hatred of incomparable anger.

Baron Dylan felt like an old wolf king who had been expelled, refusing to admit that he’s aged.

A few months ago, he was still in control of everything.

He just did not expect that.

That little brat could actually disguise himself so well.

Or wait so patiently. He had been enduring all the way from the Lion Castle until now, and until now, he still hid in front of him. When everyone relaxed and really let the little brat breath for bit, he suddenly erupted.

“As expected of the child of Grand Duke Cameron and Princess Sofia!”

Baron Dylan gritted his teeth.

His breathing was rapid, and his fists were clenched tightly. His knuckles were cracking slightly due to the force exerted.

The current Baron Dylan was imprisoned in his own estate and his own room. He looked like the Lord of Stone Pass in name, but in reality, he was no different from a prisoner!

To him, who had a violent temper to begin with, living like this was no better than death!

“Knock, Knock, Knock.”

The door was knocked.

At the same time, a rough report came from outside the door. “Baron Dylan, your wife is here. I hope you have a good talk, but don’t take more than half an hour. The curfew is coming up.”

“I understand.” Baron Dylan’s face was even gloomier. He responded, but his eyes were shining.

The door opened.

A woman with a voluptuous figure walked in.

With a panicked expression on her face, she quickly walked in. Looking at Baron Dylan ho was sitting in the dark room, tears immediately flowed down her face. “Dylan, Oh, with the blessing of the god of war, Edmund, I finally see you again.”

“Yes.” Baron Dylan only nodded faintly.

This was his wife.

However, he had always looked down on her.

Status determined who was high and who was low. Baron Dylan wanted to marry the daughter of a noble family, but because of his background, he was rejected in all kinds of ways. In addition, he was ostracized by the mainstream noble circle, which brought him a lot of ridicule.

In the end, he could only marry the woman of this merchant family. Although she was rich, in the eyes of the noble, she was very lowly.

“Sit down.”

Baron Dylan had always been cold to this woman.

Not only because of her identity, but also because this woman was really big-breasted and brainless. Although she was beautiful and her family was rich, she only knew money, money, and nothing but silver coins.

Moreover, she secretly gave various benefits to her family, and even used Baron Dylan’s name to train her own knights. Clearly, she also wanted to use his name to become a baron herself, so that her merchant family could go one step further and become a country squire, train a few knights, and eventually become a small noble.

Baron Dylan saw all of this, but he did not expose her.

To him, it could also be considered help.

However, now that he was in danger, Baron Dylan had to make good use of his wife’s family. After all, he had already handed over the table salt trade. Now that something had happened, they could not pretend like it didn’t.

“Dylan, now… now…” his wife was still crying and panicking.

“Quiet.”

Baron Dylan snorted coldly.

Looking at this beautiful woman mature charms, he did not have any obscene thoughts. Instead, he lowered his voice and said, “Did you bring the stuff?”

“I… I have brought them…” his wife answered with a trembling voice.

“Take it out now!”

Baron Dylan’s eyes lit up. This was related to his future safety and the hope of regaining power!

The madam quickly took out a small crystal ball from the private area in her bosom. It was clear and there were many tiny patterns inlaid with gold on it. It looked like a very exquisite handicraft.

“Very good.”

A smile finally appeared on Baron Dylan’s gloomy face.

“But… Dylan… you…”

His baroness’s heart was still trembling.

As the daughter of a businessman, she really did not know how to deal with it at this time. She just followed Baron Dylan’s instructions. As for her own thoughts, she did not have the slightest idea, or rather, she did not have a good enough view of the overall situation.

“Go back to your room. Leave the rest to me.”

Baron Dylan smiled. “Remember what I said.” His face became solemn. “Don’t say anything else.”

“Okay… okay…” the madam could only nod.

She continued to get up.

That voluptuous and mature body was as alluring as the sweetest peach.

However, there was still a hint of fear on her beautiful face, ruining this sense of beauty.

In the end, her big eyes trembled as she looked at Dylan. She silently opened the door and left. Under the lead of a few maidservants, she returned to her room. Of course, along the way, her voluptuous body was still frightened by the offensive gazes of the infantrymen.

They were all men from the continent of Caradia who had flesh and blood. Of course, they had the appreciation of beautiful things.


Including beauties.

Of course, this was also the reason why Kant and Fatis had such high standards for discipline.

If it was Rolf, a scoundrel noble, he would probably capture this ripe peach of a woman the second day steps foot Stone Pass. He would be able to enjoy it day and night.

Evil generals did not have high requirements for morality and discipline.

However, Baron Dylan did not care.

He could always remarry if she was gone. If he died and his estate was lost, then he would really be doomed!

Seeing that the door was closed again, Baron Dylan’s face became gloomy. He carefully listened to the disappearing footsteps outside. He naturally understood that this was the sound of the patrol team leaving every once in a while.

Now, there were only ten elite infantrymen guarding the door.

Of course, there were five grand knights in the opposite room on guard, faintly surrounding his room.

“You really think highly of me.”

Baron Dylan sneered, the gloominess in his eyes became more and more intense.

He took out the small crystal ball, which was half the size of a palm, and could be held with one hand. As the extraordinary power in his body seeped into it, as if it was charged, it gradually lit up with a mysterious light.

A wave of spatial fluctuations was also emitted in an extremely secretive manner.

“Lord Viscount.”

A faint voice came from within the crystal ball, “It’s good to come in.”

“HMPH.”

Hearing the words from within the crystal ball, Baron Dylan’s expression became even more gloomy.

If it was possible, he really did not want to contact this fellow. It was this fellow who had urged him to lead the mercenary group. At the central posthouse in the Nahrin Desert, he was killed and the entire army was defeated. He himself had become a puppet.

However, Baron Dylan did not lose his temper. He knew that he had no choice now.

“I have contacted you.”

Baron Dylan narrowed his eyes. “That means that I now have the autonomy. Do you have any plans to help? After all, as the Viscount of Countess Agatha, I still hope to offer my loyalty. After all, I am still a Grand Knight!”

“Of course, as a Grand Knight, you are of course the loyal Viscount of Countess Agatha.”

A reply came from the crystal ball.

But his tone paused slightly, his tone was almost playful. “But, Lord Viscount, you should consider this, what qualifications do you have now to negotiate with me? No, no, no. It seems a little rude to say this, but in other words, what else do you have to prove that you are useful now?”

“I am a Grand Knight. Isn’t that enough?” Baron Dylan narrowed his eyes.

“Not enough.” The answer in the crystal ball was straightforward.

“Stone Pass.”

Baron Dylan hesitated, but he still gritted his teeth and told him his background.

“Haha.” Hearing Baron Dylan’s words, the crystal ball laughed softly instead. “Lord Viscount, if I remember correctly, Stone Pass now should be in Baron Kant’s hands.”

“In name.”

Baron Dylan took a deep breath. “I can offer it to Countess Agatha.”

The crystal ball smiled faintly and said, “Wow, in name, you also know that this is in name?”

“Without this name, Countess Agatha would not be able to extend her hand to the northern county territory. You must know that the current Northern County territory is where Viscount Wayne of Logue Fort and Viscount Kevin of Masburg are fighting each other. I think that behind this, they represent the friction between the top noble and the Grand Duke of Lion. This saying is correct, right?”

Baron Dylan gritted his teeth and answered. He had a very thorough understanding of the situation in the northern county.

In other words, any noble would understand the current situation.

The crystal ball paused.

His tone also became calm. “Then, Lord Viscount, are you sure that you want to donate the Stone Pass to Countess Agatha for free and are willing to bear some consequences?”

“No, not for free.” Baron Dylan narrowed his eyes and denied.

“Please speak.”

The crystal ball had already expected this.

After a slight pause, Baron Dylan said in a deep voice, “I need a new estate. Whether it’s the northern county, the eastern county, or the estates that have been opened up in the wilderness further away, I Need Countess Agatha to give me a new estate. At the same time, she can give me some help so that I can develop in a new estate.”

“Oh, this request is not simple.” The crystal ball replied with a question, “Then what else can you do?”

“Cooperate from the inside and the outside.”

Baron Dylan narrowed his eyes.

He clenched his hands slightly and said to the crystal ball in a deep voice, “I know the secret passage in the Stone Pass. I can arrange for troops to enter the secret passage without being discovered. After all, this was once my official residence. I know everything!”

“Very good.” The crystal ball chuckled again. “Countess Agatha has agreed.”

“Okay.”

Baron Dylan nodded. The faint light of the crystal ball in his hand dimmed slightly.

This was because of a lack of energy.

He glanced at the door and said succinctly, “I am willing to offer my loyalty to Countess Agatha. This communication crystal ball can talk at this time every day. You can inform me of the specific plan secretly.”

“Yes, Lord Viscount.”

The voice in the crystal ball replied, “You can just listen to Countess Agatha’s arrangements.”

“Yes.”

Baron Dylan replied.

At this moment, the crystal ball in his hand flickered a few times before it finally dimmed completely.

He looked at the exquisite small object in his hand. The hatred in his eyes and the gloominess on his face almost twisted him like a devil from hell. However, he took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

There was a fierce tiger in front and a hungry wolf at the back. He had no choice but to compromise to save himself.
