Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Rennes City, Count's Manor, Study Room.

The butler came in and reported: "Your Majesty, two mages came to visit you, and one of them showed the eighth-level emblem."

Earl Renn, who was reviewing the documents, put down the parchment in his hand and said, "Invite them to the living room, and then invite Master Tokto to come over."

"As ordered." The butler withdrew.

Generally speaking, if you want to visit Earl Ren, you must make an appointment in advance. Of course, professionals such as high-level mages and priests are not included in this category. Although he was confused about what an eighth-level mage wanted to do with him, he still had to meet him out of courtesy, but he had to be on guard.

After Earl Ren and the fourth-level mage Tokto walked into the living room, they saw two people sitting on the sofa. There were tea and snacks in front of them, but they didn't seem to have been touched.

One of them looked to be in his fifties, and was wearing a well-dressed mage robe with an eighth-level mage emblem on it. The other person was wearing a hooded robe, but he didn't take it off even in the room, so his face couldn't be seen clearly.

"Good morning, Count Wren. My name is Stefan Huber, and we are from the Kingdom of Habsburg." The eighth-level mage stood up and introduced himself, but the man in the cloak made no move.

"Hello, Master Stefan, why are you taking all the trouble to come to me from a foreign country?"

Earl Ren didn't say anything about the mage's rudeness. After all, there are many mavericks in the mage group.

"Earl Renne, what I say next needs to be kept confidential." Stefan looked at the servants next to him.

"Okay, you all go out first."

The servants quickly left the living room, leaving only Earl Ren, the housekeeper, and Master Tokto.

"Okay, what can you say?"

At this time, the man in the cloak stood up and unbuttoned his cloak to reveal his face and the mage emblem: "Earl of Renne, first time meeting. My name is Gottfried Keller."

Si! Earl Renn took a breath. This mage Gottfried Keller wore a golden five-pointed star emblem. He was a master, but what would such a person do to him?

Earl Renne hurriedly saluted again: "Hello, Master Gottfried."

After several people sat down again, Master Gottfried said: "Count Rennes, I came here to cooperate with you."

"Oh? Please continue."

Master Gottfried said in a serious tone: "I want to make it clear first that if you don't agree with the cooperation, Count Wren, please don't reveal it to others, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Earl Renne immediately expressed his position: "Master Gottfried, please rest assured, I will never reveal it."

Master Gottfried looked at the others again, and the steward and Master Tokto also said quickly: "It will never be revealed."

It's okay if someone asks you to cooperate and you don't agree, but it's not okay if you reveal their secrets to others, especially if the other party is a master mage. Even Earl Renne must deal with it carefully if the other party has the ability to retaliate.

Master Gottfried nodded to express his satisfaction and said, "Earl Wren, I want to cooperate with you to deal with Baron Kristen Stewart."

"Dealing with Baron Kristen Stewart? What is going on?" Earl Wren was a little unbelievable when he heard the other party's shocking words. "

Master Gottfried said unhurriedly: "Count Ren, of course there is a reason for me to say this."

"The previous Barons Stewart were content with the status quo, but this Baron Kristen Stewart occupied the territory of Baron Lorient before she inherited the title, and then took over the territory of a village from Viscount Brieux. The land, and now the new Dominaria Port, don’t these have any impact on you?”

"How does this affect me? Master, please tell me." Earl Ren was pretending to be confused. Maybe he didn't know.

Master Gottfried did not point it out, but continued: "These things show that Baron Kristen Stewart is very keen on expanding her territory, and your territories are still adjacent."

"You must know that she has a long life as a descendant of dragon blood. You, Earl Ren, are wise and powerful now, but can you guarantee that the next few generations of heirs will be like you? What if there is an accident and Baron Stewart seizes some land? What should I do in the past?”

What Master Gottfried said is indeed very reasonable. Most of the wars between nobles are for land. If there is an opportunity to expand his territory, even Earl Renn will not let go of this opportunity. You must know that the Wren family was not born as an earl. This land is the result of the efforts of generations of ancestors.

Christine has already attempted to seize other people's territory, and even if Master Gottfried didn't mention that Count Wren had considered it, he would still be worried. Of course, neither of them mentioned the reason why Christine acquired all these lands.

Master Gottfried continued: "Also, Baron Stewart built the Port of Dominaria, which has greatly affected the tax revenue of Rennes City. In the long run, the center of Brittany County may Changed location."

Earl Rennes also fell into deep thought after hearing these words. How could he not know how much impact Dominaria Port has had on the business of Rennes City recently.

At first, the ancestors of the Rennes family nailed the first wooden stake on the only way in and out of the Brittany Peninsula. Later, the city of Rennes gradually developed. This was a monopoly trade route and made a lot of money, but gradually Due to the rise of maritime shipping, the tax revenue of Rennes City has been reduced.

However, each noble territory in Brittany County has a seaport, and so does the Earl of Rennes, so everyone's development is uneven.

But suddenly Christian built a new port of Dominaria. Because of the existence of the Mage Tower, which was safe and secure, and because it was the designated port for trade between the Kingdom of France and the elves, trade naturally prospered.

Count Rennes himself knows very well that if this trend continues, the economic center of the Brittany Peninsula will most likely become the Port of Dominaria. It was impossible for Count Rennes not to feel distressed by the loss of real money and taxes every year, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Master Gottfried knew that Count Wren was tempted, so he continued: "What Baron Kristen Stewart is doing, whether it is robbing the interests of Wren City now, or in the future, it may be robbing the Wren family's land. , don’t you want to do something? Nipping the threat in the bud in advance is the best option.”

Earl Rennes understood this truth, but he also knew that pie would not fall in the sky, so he asked cautiously: "Master Gottfried, you have come all the way to Brittany to help you. Mine, so what do you want?"
