Chapter 200 Instigating the Marquis

The night in Yuanfan Port is full of flowers, with bright lights and wine everywhere, and the delicacy is full of wealth.

In front of the Marquis' Mansion, a gorgeous carriage made of golden nanmu slowly stopped. This was the carriage specially used by the Marquis' Mansion to pick up and drop off guests.

Lando got out of the carriage, and Salim had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Two legends?

Lando keenly sensed that in addition to Salim in front of him, there was also a legendary powerful man in the Marquis' mansion.

"Mr. Salim, you don't have to greet me at the door in person." Lando said with some surprise.

"I dare not forget Mr. Lando's life-saving grace that day." Salim said with a smile.

Lando nodded, and said nothing more, entering the Marquis' Mansion in Salim's leading role.

Along the way, Lando was amazed that Marquis Pierce was worthy of the uncrowned king of the Eastern Realm. The word "content" is not just a saying.

Although the Brendan family has declined, it is still the Earl family, with a large area of ​​territory and industry, and has a lot of voice in Yuanfan Port. The only pity is that there is no legendary powerhouse belonging to the family itself. This is inconsistent with the Earl family and is also the main reason for the family's decline.

But there are still many senior professionals. As far as Lando knows, there are five senior professionals in Yuanfan Port alone who play for Brendan, and two people guard Brendan every day. The other three are in charge of his important industries in Yuanfan Port, and in the territory, this number will only be more.

Now, when Lando entered the Marquis' Mansion, he has seen three waves of patrolmen, all led by senior professionals. You should know that Lando has only taken one-quarter of the Marquis' Mansion. Since he is a patrolmen, he naturally needs to change his posts. With such a simple calculation, he can roughly understand the background of the Marquis' family.

As we walked to the banquet hall, the layout of the banquet hall seemed very simple, but it was luxurious in the low-key manner.

This time it was a private banquet, so in addition to the marquis who had met once, there were only the butler and many servants left in the banquet.

What surprised Lando was that he could sense another legendary strong man before, and he was actually the housekeeper in front of him! The Marquis himself confirmed when he met last time that he was a senior professional.

"The arrival of Mr. Lando, the dragon slayer, really makes my little Marquis's mansion shine brightly!" Marquis Pierce said with a laugh as soon as he saw Lando.

"Where is my honor to meet Marquis Pierce. I have long been looking forward to meeting you!" Lando also said politely.

The host and guest arrived, and the dinner naturally began. During this period, Marquis Pierce seemed to be very interested in Lando's travel and adventures. He kept talking about this topic with him and asking about Lando's adventures.

Lando was chatting about various adventures while tasting delicious food. It has to be said that the food in the Marquis's Mansion was very consistent with Lando's taste, while thinking about how to start.

In fact, Lando wanted to take action when he first entered the banquet hall, but seeing the legendary butler made it a little difficult for him to deal with. If a servant of this level disappears or dies for no reason, it will definitely cause doubts and speculations from the Marquis family. However, if he takes action, Lando will not be able to confuse the other party to the point of ignorance, so he must first think about the pros and cons.

After a long time, Lando suddenly stopped talking, put down the silver tableware in his hand, picked up the crystal cup, gently shook the red wine in it, and sighed.

Marquis Pierce asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Mr. Lando, is the dishes not to your taste? Do I want me to order other things in the kitchen?"

Lando smiled and said, "No, I just think my intelligence should be used for research, not to waste it on such boring little things. You should leave this problem to yourself."

Marquis Pierce frowned in confusion, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. Although he did not understand the other party's meaning, the casual tone with command alone made the Marquis instinctively displeased.

"Mr. Lando, are you drunk? Why don't you go back and rest first?" Marquis Pierce issued a cold and expelled order.

The housekeeper also walked to the Marquis and vaguely protected Marquis Pierce behind him, and said with a gentle but formulaic smile on his face, "Mr. Lando, please come here."

After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Lando stood up with a smile. What followed was a fog that instantly filled the entire banquet hall. All the servants in the banquet hall were confused at the same time. The outside world ignored all the changes in the banquet hall. Only Salim, who had returned to the Marquis' Mansion, seemed to be aware of it, looked in confusion in the direction of the banquet hall, hesitated for a moment, and was a little worried after all, and gave up the plan to go back to the room to rest, and turned back to the banquet hall.

Marquis Pierce did not expect Lando to dare to take action. He said angrily: "Lando, what do you want? Do you think that if you have strong power, you can do whatever you want? The game is not played like this. Even if you hold me hostage or kill me today, it will be useless. It will only push you into the opposite side of all the nobles and forces in the Eastern Region. Moreover, the Marquis' family is not my one-man show. If what I do is not consistent with the interests of the family, I will not be supported, and I will even be dismissed from the position of Marquis."

Marquis Pierce's words were reasonable and well-founded. If Lando really wanted to hijack him to do his own thing, it would be as he said, it would not be possible.

Lando naturally believed the words of Marquis Pierce. As early as when he was about to set Yuanfan Port as his first development goal, the first thing he considered was to let Xiao Liuli erode Marquis Pierce, but after investigation and thinking, he gave up this idea.

Because it is indeed as Marquis Pierce said that the Marquis family is not Pierce's one-man show, and there are many disputes of interest. Even if he can unknowingly turn Marquis Pierce into his own person, even if he directly shows his legendary strength, it will probably take a long time to argue with the power of the Marquis family for him, and it will even arouse doubts from others.

For Lando, his early plan did not require much power. Then, the family's strength was weak, but he was still an old nobleman and had complete voice. Earl Brendan entered Lando's vision and then took the next series of operations.

Lando came back to his senses and said, "This is indeed not my strength, so I said that this is something you should worry about?"

Similar words were said again in Lando. For some reason, Marquis Pierce felt a chill in his heart and had a premonition that something extremely bad was about to happen!

‘Boom!~’

The housekeeper could no longer help but punch out, and the powerful life energy burst out. Whether Lando hides or not, it hits his mind.

If Lando doesn't hide, it can test his depth. If Lando chooses to hide, this punch will break the fog blockade and create movement to attract the attention of the guards outside.

But Lando's response exceeded the housekeeper's expectations. The former did not move. The powerful energy impact came to Lando and it became slower and slower until it stopped completely. It was lightly poked by Lando, breaking and disappearing like a balloon.

Lando took a step forward and had already come to Marquis Pierce. The latter was unable to make any moves at all. He could only watch Lando take out a piece of colorful crystal from his arms and insert it into his heart, sank it into it bit by bit.

The butler's face changed the moment Lando disappeared, and he turned around and rushed towards Marquis Pierce without thinking, but the distance that could be reached in one step on weekdays was like a natural barrier. No matter how hard the butler ran, he could not reach it.

Marquis Pierce felt his spirit being eroded little by little. At the last moment when he lost consciousness, he saw Lando's calm face, running wildly with his housekeeper in slow motion, but was frozen little by little.

…………

With a bang, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and Salim appeared hurriedly outside the door, accompanied by the guards following him.

The conversation between Marquis Pierce and Lando came to an abrupt end, and they all turned their heads to look. The former was mixed with some displeasure, while the latter was more confused.

The scene in front of him made Salim feel a "knock". He originally realized something was wrong and wanted to come to the banquet hall just in case. But halfway through, he suddenly thought that the power flashed in the direction of the banquet hall seemed to be similar to the power that suddenly appeared when Lando was besieged by the mysterious man on the day of the dragon slaying. Then he ran into the door regardless of the guard's obstruction.

In his opinion, Salim thinks there are only two possibilities: either this power is Lando, and the latter wants to be unfavorable to Marquis Pierce, or this power was last used to deal with Lando's group. When they come to Lando again, Marquis Pierce will be affected. No matter which way he hits the door, it is definitely correct.

But the scene before him was clearly that Marquis Pierce and Lando had a great time talking, and there was no way Lando took action or was invaded by other forces.

Marquis Pierce said plainly: "Salim, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?!"

Salim smiled bitterly in his heart. Knowing that Marquis Pierce's tone was plain, he must have been a little angry, but what could he say, 'I realized you might be in danger, so I came to rescue him'? If this is said, not only will it not satisfy Marquis Pierce, but he may also offend the 'savage benefactor' Lando to death.

Suddenly Salim noticed that the butler was not in the banquet hall, and he had a sudden inspiration and said, "I thought of some things that I wanted to find the butler, so... I hope the Marquis and Lord Lando will forgive me."

The butler beside Marquis Pierce is naturally not an ordinary butler. His legendary strength is stronger than Salim, so Salim has always been called "Grandmaster" to this butler.

This answer obviously did not satisfy Marquis Pierce, but he frowned, as if Lando, a 'outsider', was not taking more accountable, but said coldly: "Suddenly I thought of something, let the housekeeper go back and do it. If you have anything, wait for him to come back and talk about it."

Although this answer was somewhat unexpected, Salim was not in the mood to think about anything else at this time. Seeing Marquis Pierce waved his hand at him, he immediately saluted the two of them as if they were amnesty and then left.

When Salim heard the two people in the banquet start to talk loudly again, and he looked like he was talking at night with candles. He cursed himself in his heart. Could it be the sequelae left by the battle to kill the dragon?!

With such doubts, Salim returned to his room and decided to take a good rest to relieve the pressure during this period.

When the door of the banquet was closed again, a faint mist filled the entire banquet again. In the eyes of the servants standing, Marquis Pierce was still talking about adventure-related topics with Lando, the dragon slayer.

"What's next? This legendary old servant disappeared without reason and it is impossible to easily get away with it, right?" Lando asked.

"Of course, the housekeeper has served in the Marquis family for more than a hundred years, as if he had signed a contract with my grandfather. Such a loyal legendary strong man is to some extent more important than me, the current marquis, and of course it is impossible to fool him casually." Marquis Pierce said.

This made Lando a little distressed: "What should I do? Dongjing is my basic foundation, so it can't be messed up here!"

"Don't worry, there is still a solution." Marquis Pierce smiled.

"Oh? Tell me!" Lando became interested.

"At present, the best way is to... drag!" Marquis Pierce said affirmatively.

"Drag?" Lando seemed to understand what the other party meant.

"The housekeeper is the pillar of the Marquis' family. He usually obeys the orders of the 'me' as a marquis. He has had a difficult incident before, and the housekeeper went out to do business and didn't return for a few months. Now, as long as he drags it on, a few months is almost enough for me to clean up the Marquis' family. Time is on our side." Marquis Pierce said confidently.

"Well, it's really good, so I'll leave this to you." After saying that, Rando got up and stretched: "The food is good, it suits my taste. Let the kitchen make more tricks in the future. I'm tired, so I'll go and rest first."

Lando stayed for granted at the Marquis' Mansion.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

During this period, Marquis Pierce also ran to the two places of Yuanfan Port and Marquis. Marquis Pierce himself was amazing and was incomparable to the "muggles" like Brendan. In the past, he allowed the family to divide his authority, mainly for the overall interests and strength of the family. He was also confident that he could easily take back the authority of the outside world if he really encountered any special incident.

Just like he is doing now.

Marquis and Marquis's family castle, Marquis Pierce slowly cut the steak, listening to his subordinates report on the current territory. After he launched a secret trick that had been buried long ago, after a brief stalemate, he easily captured all the territory and family power back, fully demonstrating the means and authority of the uncrowned king in the East.

Although there are legendary strong men and some elders in the family, they are all used to the character of this powerful junior marquis. Although they are confused about his sudden actions, they also choose to wait and see what he wants to do.

Just as Marquis Pierce's thoughts drifted away, thinking about how to better help Lando.

"Bang!"

The door was forced to open again!
