Chapter 176 Guest

Dongdongdongdongdong.

The housekeeper Emon knocked on the oak door in front of him and reported: "Master, Count Morrison is asking for a visit."

"Please come in." Colin's voice came from inside the door.

"Yes." Emon pushed open the door, bowed to Earl Morrison, and signaled, "Sir, please."

Earl Morrison smiled at Emon, then walked into the study with his head raised and his chest.

"His Excellency Earl Morrison, welcome to Red Fort!" Colin smiled and greeted him, shook hands cordially with Earl Morrison.

"His Excellency Viscount Angrey, thank you for your hospitality, and hope that my arrival did not cause you much trouble."

The Earl Morrison looked less than 20 years old, younger than Collin. Although he tried hard to pretend to be mature and sophisticated and deliberately prepared his beard, his every move was inevitably revealed with obvious immaturity.

"Of course there is no trouble. It is my honor to be able to visit Ice Rock City. And I have always admired the loyal and brave old Count!"

The old Count Collin mentioned is the previous Count Morrison and the grandfather of the young man in front of him.

The old count was stabbed to death by Knight Kahn Sudor at the lords meeting half a year ago. At that time, Collin was also at the scene and witnessed the scene of the fierce old count alone shouting loudly to all the lords who were preparing to rise up and rebel.

After the death of the old Count, the Morrison family made such a young man inherit the throne of the Count was helpless.

The Morrison family had not had a strong descendants, and the old count had only one legitimate son, but this legitimate son was seriously injured in a war many years ago and was almost paralyzed.

Such a person who cannot take care of himself will definitely not be able to inherit the title of the Morrison family, so he had to inherit the title of the old Count's eldest grandson, Saiken Morrison, who was only eighteen years old.

"Thank you for your thoughts and praise. If Grandpa knew that his sacrifice could be recognized so much, he would definitely rest in the kingdom of heaven!"

After some greetings, Colin invited Earl Morrison to take his seat and asked the maid to send coffee and desserts.

"Your Excellency Earl, I wonder what you have been here from afar?"

Earl Morrison put down the coffee in his hand and said seriously: "My Excellency Viscount, I have come here this time because I hope to get your help."

"Oh? Please say, if I can do what I can, I will not be stingy." Collin smiled, and had already guessed the purpose of Count Morrison's arrival in his heart.

In fact, after the Winter Festival, several lords from the North have come to buy a batch of food from Colin for emergency treatment.

This time, Earl Morrison is one of the highest titles.

And his next words indeed confirmed Colin's speculation: "I heard that you, Viscount, have purchased a large amount of grain in Silver Moon City. I wonder if you can sell some to the Morrison family?"

"sure."

Colin's generousness surprised Count Morrison and immediately shouted excitedly: "Really? Thank you so much! Your Excellency Viscount, the Morrison family will always remember the kindness of the Angeles family!"

"However, Lord Earl, you must know the current price of grain in the northern border... This batch of grain may not be cheap."

Earl Morrison suffocated slightly, but then nodded and said, "Don't worry, the Morrison family will not let their friends suffer losses. We will buy this batch of food from you at the market price."

Hearing this, Colin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

How could he suffer a loss?

With Colin's status in Silver Moon City, the local half-elf merchants certainly did not dare to sell food at a higher price. They were sold to Colin at normal seasonal food prices. When this batch of food was transported to the northern border, the price soared by more than ten times. Colin can be said to have made a fortune.

Several lords who came to buy food learned about some of the situation and tried to cut the price, but the young Count Morrison in front of him was foolish and agreed without even negotiating the price.

It seems to be another honest man.

Colin looked at Earl Morrison and smiled brighter: "Oneth Earl, I need to explain to you in advance."

"Please say it."

"I believe you also know that over the past period of time, there have been too many people coming to Bingyan City to buy grain. My grain was shipped from Yinyue City, and the supply speed may not be kept up for the time being.

Therefore, the food you purchased may not be delivered at once.”

Earl Morrison frowned slightly and asked, "When will we receive all the food?"

"This... depends on the delivery speed in Silver Moon City. However, I can assure you that the Morrison family will definitely get priority supply!"

"Okay, thank you so much." Earl Morrison smiled.

Unfortunately, the young count did not realize that Colin had not made any promises, so what could a so-called "priority supply right" guarantee?

Colin did not deliberately bully the Earl of Morrison. He proposed the conditions for delivery in installments to all the lords who came to buy food.

With this condition, Colin could control the food supply of these families to a certain extent, thereby further affecting their position in the upcoming chaos in the North.

Of course, the grain will be delivered in installments, but the money must be paid in one go.

The Angeles family does not accept credit!

In the current northern border, there is a shortage of food. No matter how harsh the conditions on Colin's side, the lords can only pinch their noses and respond.

Earl Morrison seemed to have not realized Colin's hidden scheming and said thankfully to him.

Looking at his joyful appearance, a trace of guilt flashed through Colin's heart, but it lasted for less than a second and disappeared.

Not long after, the butler Yimon knocked on the door again: "Master, another guest has come to Bingyan City."

"Which messenger is this time?"

But Yimon shook his head: "Master, this time the guest came from the north."

"North?" Clin was stunned. Ice Rock City was already the northernmost end of the northern border. Go north further-

That's the sky ice field!

"Troll Messenger?"

"No, it's the messenger of the Golden Lion Legion garrisoned on the Sky Ice Field."

Colin's brows frowned even more: "Golden Lion Army? Are you sure he requested a visit to me?"

In Collin's opinion, the envoy of the Golden Lion Legion should go to Winter City, why should he come to find him?

Emon lowered his voice and explained, "Master, the one who wants to pay homage to you is the entourage of the Golden Lion Legion's envoy, whose name is Charles St. Heard."

"Charles?" Clin stood up from his seat in surprise.

He remembered that the eldest son of the Duke of St. Heard, former Marquis of the Northern Territory, was sent to the Northern Front by his father and asked him-

"If you don't break through the Troll King City in one day, you will not be allowed to return to the northern border in one day."

Unexpectedly, he sneaked back at this time.

No wonder he didn't dare to go to Winter City, but ran to Ice Rock City.

Colin walked back and forth in the study for a few times, his brows furrowed.

After a while, he asked, "No one recognizes him, right?"

"No, Master Charles made a disguise, and he appeared in Ice Rock City as a messenger."

"Okay, bring him to see me."
