"Damn it, when the hell are you going to let me wait!" milt walked back and forth in Vernon''s bedroom.

    Ten days have passed since he came back from Lingfeng Castle last time, but there is still no news from the family.

    If campersburg does send troops north, he is in a situation like a soldier who broke into an enemy barracks alone! I wonder if the kid will kill him to vent his anger.

    Moreover, the news he sent home was even more incisive, completely describing the tustra boy as an arrogant image.

    He could imagine, with his father''s temper, the roar that could overturn the roof after seeing the letter he sent back.

    All this made milt more and more uneasy. He didn''t want to stay in Shanghe for a moment, but he couldn''t go anywhere until he received the order from Lingfeng castle.

    Such a feeling is like being tied to the stake, and dry firewood has been piled up under your feet!

    Stepping on the wooden floor, milt walked back and forth. Looking at Vernon sitting on the side, cutting cheese, chewing dried meat and drinking ale, he couldn''t restrain his anger.

    "I''m going crazy. You should at least tell me your plan!" milt stared at him. "Vernon, if anything happens to me, I promise you''ll die in front of me!"

    With a dagger and a piece of cheese in his hand, Vernon looked at milt with fierce eyes: "I''m just doing what the count told me. Instead of threatening me, why don''t you sit down and eat something together? No matter what the future is, at least we''re still friends now."

    "I''m not like you now." milt sat down, grabbed the wine cup on the table and took a big drink. The fermented wheat wine is spicy and sour, and the wheat residue is thick and can be chewed.

    "Don''t worry, my friend." Vernon took a piece of dried meat and scraped a layer of cheese on it. "You''re just an illegitimate son. You''re not important enough to be a hostage. And killing an illegitimate son doesn''t prove our Lord''s determination and courage, but will make him more like an angry child."

    If the death of a milt could make the relationship between campes and the tutela family worse, the Vernon association would be very happy.

    Although Vernon comforted milt with his mouth, his heart was far less calm than he showed. Even like milt, he was a little uneasy.

    It has been so long since he and Arthur negotiated cooperation. According to the Earl''s plan, the news of the campes family should have come long ago.

    But ten days later, not only milt received no news, but also him.

    This feeling is like smashing a huge stone on the water, but it can''t set off a little spray. It''s calm and disturbing.

    Was something wrong, or was the count wrong at all? Vernon couldn''t guess, nor could he.

    "You know he''s a child!" milt looked angry, picked up the dagger on the table, grabbed the dried meat and cut off a piece of meat.

    He decided that Vernon had something to hide from him. After so long, there should be some news from the south.

    Looking at milt with an angry face, Vernon smiled: "our Lord is not a child who knows nothing. Several groups of caravans have come to the town these days, and the iron ore mountain has become more effective in his hands."

    "These are just the attention of Gustav."

    "Even if it was Gustav''s attention, what do you think he could have done without the child nodding?"

    Putting a piece of dried meat into his mouth, Vernon continued: "every caravan carries at least seven or eight slaves. If this goes on, it will only take half a year, and there will be enough slaves in Lingfeng castle to survive the Winter Animal tide."

    "What''s more, I heard that they have developed a dealer system. In the future, only one cooperative businessman will be identified in each collar. That''s really a good idea!"

    Milt didn''t care about this anymore. He said coldly, "it''s not right. You Gelin family can get more benefits."

    Looking at milt, Vernon smiled silently.

    More benefits are true, but the benefits obtained are considered benefits. At least so far, he has failed to get any gold coins promised by Lingfeng castle.

    Moreover, he has carefully studied the dealer system developed by the iron ore Bureau, regardless of interests. Once this system is established, lingfengbao will know the quantity of pig iron flowing into each collar and county from the iron ore mountain!

    What is iron—— It is a sword, a armor, and a sharp blade to protect the rights of nobility!

    After Lingfeng Castle knows these, the answer is self-evident.

    The most terrible thing is that both those businessmen and the nobles behind them will agree with the dealer system of the iron ore Bureau.

    After all, no one wants his men to be too strong.

    When he thought about this a few days ago, he sighed, was frightened, and hoped more urgently that the Earl could take the iron mine back to glinburg one day earlier.

    After taking a sip of wine, Vernon looked at milt: "milt, if lingfengbao is allowed to develop like this, it will not be a good thing for our two families."

    Milt threw a piece of dried meat into his mouth and glanced at Vernon: "my memory is very good. You don''t have to emphasize anything here."

    "Count Green doesn''t care about your memory."

    "When I become the master of campersburg, I will naturally fulfill my promise. But before that, you grinns have to fulfill your promise."

    Vernon said with a smile, "the Green family never deceives their friends. The count always does what he says!"

    "I hope so," milt replied noncommittally, and then drank the ale in the wine cup.

    Vernon lifted the jug, smiled and refilled him with ale.

    He knew milt had doubts, but he couldn''t explain, because Vernon didn''t understand why he wanted to win over the illegitimate son.

    In his opinion, milt was an illegitimate son. Even if libron campers died, campers could not inherit him.

    And even if it is to provoke the internal struggle of the campes family, why should an illegitimate son who doesn''t even have a fief fight. Besides, the hostess of campersburg is still a woman of the Barrett family.

    Perhaps the count had other considerations, Vernon thought.

    The two chatted and soon drank a whole pot of ale. During this period, milt kept talking about Vernon, but he couldn''t hear any useful information from each other.

    Gradually, milt realized that Vernon, like him, must have received no message from the south.

    At the thought of this, milt was even more confused and uneasy. He is now on the side of the Gelin family. Therefore, he deliberately lost the possibility of cooperation with Lingfeng castle, and even lied to the family.

    At such a moment, no news is the worst news!
