Earl Clayya has not been very smooth recently.【.】

However, she was stubborn and arrogant, but she never complained about other managers. Whenever she felt exhausted, she would always lock herself in her parents' spiritual room, lie on the cold ground, look up at the ceiling, and rest quietly without thinking or doing nothing.

Now, after Count Clayya rejected the invitation from Duke Moore from the capital again, she sighed and prepared to open the door and repeat her usual habits.

Unexpectedly, a masculine human knight pushed her maid away, opened the door, and found her.

"You are really unreasonable." Claya's two maids looked at the human knight who strided into Claya's boudoir with resentment, half angry and half admiring.

The human knight is a concrete unit, and the setting is completely different from the female. Therefore, he directly ignored the ambiguous gaze of the maid caused by his strong body, and said loudly to Kreya: "Earl, my master is here."

"Really?" Hearing Lin Tian's visit, Clayya's eyes seemed to have returned to glory, and the fatigue just now seemed to disappear in a trace.

She noticed her excitement, and after trembling desperately for a few times to restore herself to the strong woman, she looked at the human knight and asked softly where Lin Tian was.

When he learned that Lin Tian was in the secret gold mining area that had been agreed upon, Claya did not even change his white nightgown, so he took a carriage prepared by the human knight and left the Count's mansion.

On the top of the town not far away, a group of men in black robes rushed up, looking at the carriage, and whispering.

"The Earl Perrin will not be wrong with the unique carriage. Only the Earl Clayya can ride it."

"Looking at the direction, it should be the gold mining area. Strange, didn't she just come back from there?"

"If you have suspiciousness, send additional staff. You must catch up with her. Maybe you can follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the scenes that the Duke wants to know the most!"

"Get orders!"

The man in the black robe in the tavern quickly disappeared, but all this happened in the security station not far away.

None of the staff in the security station went to the alert tower at this time. They were either drunk and had not yet sobered up, or they had already taken a bag of gold coins to the casino underground of the tavern. No wonder those men in black robes dared to monitor them so arrogantly!

Lin Tian was standing next to a tree of life. He leaned against the shade to enjoy the shade, looked at the flashing red dots in the distance and frowned slightly.

With a command, the human knight who was driving the carriage into the corner stopped immediately. Just when Earl Clayya was confused and wanted to ask the details, he saw an old white-bearded man riding a white horse coming from the front of the human knight. The old man smiled and nodded slightly to Earl Clayya, he broke the scroll back to the city, and a white light flashed and teleported out collectively.

The black-robed people following behind them felt the sound of horse hooves and wheels disappear at the first time, and quickly accelerated to go there, but they were all shocked, wondering what was going on.

"How is this possible!" An experienced tracker squatted on the road where the carriage disappeared, looking around in panic, as if he wanted to find some clues, but unfortunately he searched for it, but he got nothing.

He murmured with a wry smile: "I'm still a veteran with 30 years of experience, but this time I've ruined my own brand."

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about this." Another old tracker also searched for a while, but also showed an helpless expression: "The other party's methods are too strange, or in other words, the other party's backstage is too weird."

"Just go back and report it like this." After a few minutes of silence, the veteran who was half-squatting on the ground finally stood up and left as if he had accepted his fate.

Although the other trackers were quite unwilling to accept it, they had no choice but to evacuate one after another. However, soon, the legend of Count Clayjan's instant movement began to spread in the thieves circle in the territory of Count Perrin.

Such legends have made Count Clayya less trouble. Many thieves who were planning to take the gold mines in the Clayya territory hesitated.

However, although the trouble is less, it is still very big.

After teleportation, Claya passed a little discomfort, then walked off the carriage and looked at Lin Tian with a smile.

"You, finally come to find me again." Earl Clayya seemed to be more mature than before. She approached Lin Tian, ​​took a deep breath and suppressed the inexplicable surge in her heart. Her red lips opened slightly: "Is there anything wrong with this time?"

"This is natural." Lin Tian nodded slightly, and then signaled a human knight to drag the corpse of a two-headed demon wolf over.

"This is..." Seeing the two-headed demon wolf, Earl Clay was a little confused. After noticing that the demon wolf was equipped with metal claws and matching armor, she pursed her lips and clenched her hands slightly.

"Sure enough, he still took action."

"He?" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to let go of any enemy who dared to disturb his gold income.

"Duke Moore." Earl Clayya said this, stopping his voice, but he looked at Lin Tian with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

At the beginning, she thought that she would cooperate with Duke Moore, even if she would pay a lot of money. In Claya's analysis, only by satisfying Duke Moore, she and her family could have room to retain, and that gold mine that was the foundation of its existence could continue to belong to Perrin.

However, Duke Moore's cooperation with Claya was quite pleasant at the beginning, but in the end, especially in recent times, Duke Moore had a falling out with Earl of Claya.

Duke Moore admired Claya very much. Not only was Count Claya a rare female noble, but also because of the outstanding management ability shown by Count Claya, Duke Moore was moved.

Duke Moore knew very well what his descendants were like. Duke Moore, who was not optimistic about his son, needed to find a way out for them. This way out is Earl of Clayjay. Duke Moore hoped that the political and economic heritage he would leave in the future could be inherited by Earl of Clayjay.

Of course, this premise is that Count Clayjan married into the Duke of Moore's family and left his heir to the Duke of Moore's eldest son.

For this purpose, Duke Moore even agreed to let Earl Clayya choose her child to inherit Earl Perrin in the future, so as to avoid the dynasty of Earl Perrin's direct lineage.

But what angered Duke Moore was that with such superior conditions, the Earl of Clayjan and that smelly woman actually refused!

And I refuse so hard!

So, Duke Moore began to take action and suppress the Earl Perrin's team from an economic perspective, which caused not only commercial difficulties in the entire Earl Perrin's territory, but also encountered embargo on many key materials.

Earl Clayya tried her best to resolve these difficulties one by one, and opened up contact with the imperial capital of the human race and other aspects to obtain necessary supplies. However, after seeing the two-headed demon wolf, Earl Clayya smiled bitterly and understood. Duke Moore was obviously impatient and began to use his military means to threaten Earl Clayya's territory.

Lin Tian learned these inside stories from Earl Clayya. He couldn't help but chuckled, his hands crossed, and said, "In that case, Duke Moore refused to let you Perrin out?"

Earl Clayya nodded sadly: "It looks like...this is."

"Well, since that's the case, I have to fight." Lin Tian said casually: "It's not just them who can play with it."

"Do you want to take revenge on Duke Moore?" Claya whispered: "But there are countless strong people in Duke Moore's hands, not to mention that their power in the Kingdom... will not affect your organization if it offends?"

In Kreya's view, behind Lin Tian must be a huge mysterious organization supporting it. Such an organization has not established a country. In addition, there are many precious goods flowing out of Lin Tian's hands, which means that they should be mainly commercial trade. Generally speaking, commercial organizations often like to use transactions and compromises to save a lot of trouble.

Especially if you offend customers like wealthy families, no matter which commercial organization it is, it is a top taboo.

Lin Tian showed a confident smile under Claya's puzzled gaze and said, "Claya, you don't understand the value of this gold mining area of ​​your family to me."

"Even if it is an enemy of the entire Noah Kingdom, no, even if it is an enemy of the entire human empire." Lin Tian leaned over, looking at Kreya with determination, and saw the latter's heart awesome, and also felt relieved: "I am willing to do anything!"

"What's more, Duke Moore can't mobilize his troops to fight back now." Lin Tian relaxed his expression and showed a wicked smile.

"Can't be able to mobilize the army? Ah, is it an orc invasion?" Earl Clayya was also a nobleman after all, and she still knew some information from the outside world.

"Well, the Grand Duke of Hei Luo personally led more than 100,000 troops to besiege Duke Rhode's city of glory. Although most of the ministers and nobles in the capital were very dissatisfied with Grand Duke Rhode, he was the Grand Duke of the capital after all. Their reinforcements had to go north to express their opinions no matter what, and they also needed to prevent the orcs from moving south."

Speaking of this, Lin Tian showed a hint of disdain: "After all, no one can guarantee that after the orcs of the Black Snail Grand Duke will be hot-headed and rushed into the vicinity of the royal capital to burn, kill and loot."

"It is related to the industrial security of most nobles in the royal capital. Duke Moore will not be able to mobilize the army to do his private affairs at this time."

"So, take revenge on the other party, just at this moment!"

After saying that, Lin Tian asked Count Clayya for information about Duke Moore's many commercial strongholds.

If it weren't for knowing that the capital was hidden and lying on the tiger, the Duke Moore's mansion might have an unknown strong man to visit, and Lin Tian even wanted to assassinate the other party.

…………

In the Kingdom of Noah, in the capital, Duke Moore soon learned about the abnormal movement of Earl Claya, and even learned that the two-headed demon wolf he sent to harass him had been wiped out.

The angry Duke of Moore naturally refused to give up. He began to secretly mobilize his strong men, combined with a large number of bandits he had recruited, and suddenly, he planned to force Earl Perlan and then force Earl Clayya to surrender.

And just as Duke Moore signed the order and not long after he returned from the royal city, he soon learned the new news.

"What!"

In the living room, Duke Moore glared at his eyes and knocked over the teapot on the wooden table.

"How is this possible? There is Jero guarding the warehouse! Moreover, it is still within the sphere of influence of my capital. Who dares to commit such a serious crime!"

"Duke, I, we don't know." A middle-aged warrior knelt in front of Duke Moore and kept kowtowing, crying: "The other party acts quickly and is extremely old. When we rush to see only a huge fire, that fire..."

Speaking of the burning flame, this warrior who was also in the early stage of liquefaction actually showed a pause caused by fear, which made Duke Moore's eyes flash, a little surprised.

"What's wrong with the fire?" asked an old man next to Duke Moore.

"The fire is like the flame from hell, and cannot be extinguished." The middle-aged warrior said tremblingly: "Watering will bring up the heat and burn our people. A few brothers thought of using soil, but they did not expect that the flame could continue to burn in the soil, and even spew out the flame tongue, igniting our brothers to become firemen."

"Hiss..." The old man sighed in surprise when he heard this: "Is it the supernatural flame of the awakened warrior?"

"If this is true, it's no wonder that Jero will not work." The old man shook his head and looked at Duke Moore: "Sir, look, I'm going to take action?"

"Old Luo." Duke Moore stood up and respectfully clasped his fists at the old man: "This time, you may really need to take action."

"Haha, it's okay, this is what I should do." The old man called Mr. Luo smiled casually, "It's Duke, do you have any idea, who is against us?"

"Hmph, who else can I get rid of the mastermind behind the last time I supported Kreyana?" Duke Moore said softly: "I have always refused to make a tough move because I am worried that this will affect gold mine production. But since Kreya dares to fight back behind the scenes, it means that between me and her can only speak based on strength."

"Old Luo, I want you to lead the team, pretend to be a thief group, and flatten the Earl Perlan for me!"

"I want to make that Claya lose everything and force her to surrender to me!"

The old man nodded slightly and began to discuss the next details with Duke Moore.

During this period, Lin Tian, ​​who was eager to deal with this blockade, did not stop. After sneaking the griffin knights into a warehouse area and destroying a large number of Duke Moore's supplies, Lin Tian ran to the Ailan River, the largest river in the capital without any rest.

The Ailan River, the most spacious part of the river, is almost equivalent to two Yangtze Rivers. It connects the important trade points of the imperial capital, the royal capital and more than ten other human kingdoms, and is a very important trade channel.

In order to facilitate smuggling, Duke Moore specially built a private port outside the royal capital to smuggle various materials.

At this time, in this private port called Modo Port, it was a time of crowds, and thousands of workers and slaves were constantly carrying smuggled goods.

The large amount of food and the Iron Calendar made the transported slaves complain.

The supervisors waved their whips and kept whipping into the air, making crisp sounds, reminding the slaves to work quickly.

"Hurry, hurry up!" A supervisor shouted: "You lazy guys, move quickly, the sun is about to set. If you can't finish transporting, don't want to eat and sleep!"

Behind the supervisor, a young swordsman with a handsome appearance came a handsome young swordsman.

This young swordsman was a relative of Duke Moore, named Yanidomon. In addition, his strength reached the initial stage of liquefaction, so Duke Moore arranged for this private port to serve as the military supervisor.

"The Duke has ordered that this batch of strategic materials should be transported into the city today." The young swordsman Yanidomon was dissatisfied with the progress in front of him and reminded the supervisor on the side.
