Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

ake the family cough up a considerable amount of resources.
Otherwise, if they don’t pay the nobles enough, they would incur their dissatisfaction, they may even unite against the family at that time, further escalating the problem.

But with Calci Family in the equation, the situation would be different.
The Calci family was a formidable power inside Rosen Empire.
They were a family that even the Royal Clan would need to think twice before provoking.
Fortunately, the Calci Family’s style were to be low-key, so even if the Royal Clan sees them as a thorn in their eye, they didn’t have much resentment for the family.

And just as what Marriott thought, Grand Duke Lionheart was a sword that the Royal Clan uses to deal with these old nobles.
But now that this weapon had gone too disobedient, they were quite mad.

Now, the Royal Clan was willing to exchange this pawn.
In their eyes everyone was a chess piece, and these chess pieces were divided into those useful and those useless.
The useful pieces were also further divided to those who were obedient and those disobedient.
Royal Clans generally would be willing to let go of these disobedient pieces, this was because these people could cause instability in the near future; not only to the enemy, but also to themselves.
Nobody wanted to have someone who will cause them problems in the future right by their own side.

Marriott laughed as he patted Zhao Hai’s soldier, “We agree! Why would we not agree to such good deal.
Brother, you really are our Shelley Family’s lucky star.
Rest assured, I can promise you in behalf of the family that we would fully cooperate with the Calci Family.
Please pass this message to City Lord Smith for me.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Good, then I’ll head back and inform City Lord Smith.
Right, in the next days I will have people deliver the vegetables.
How does 100 thousand jin for the first delivery sound?”

Marriott nodded and said, “Good, how will you deliver it here? Do you have a ship?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Be relieved, there will be no mistake.” Then he stood up and got ready to leave.

Zhao Hai didn’t know that at this time, Smith was also summoning a family elder to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Naturally that elder was also a Dark Mage.

The elder looked over 60 years old.
His head was entirely white, he wore a magic robe and his face wasn’t hidden, revealing his pale feature.

Smith looked at the old mage, “How is it, Elder Narro?”

Narro nodded and said, “The same as what Mister Zhao Hai said, the assailants were really sent by Grand Duke Lionheart.
It was also true that they were sent to get the young lady and take her as a hostage to make you expel Zhao Hai from Sky Water City.
Then they’ll deal with him then.”

Smith relaxed deep inside, but his expression was quite ugly.
Smith was not an idiot, he was in complete control of himself and was not sentimental at all.
It was impossible for him to just believe Zhao Hai’s words, so he had Elder Narro come and confirm.
The elder turned a doomed soldier who attacked Megan into an advanced level undead and asked him the same questions and it turned out to be the same as what Zhao Hai said.
Smith was relieved.

At the same time, the fires in his heart ignited completely.
Grand Duke Lionheart actually didn’t care about Calci Family’s face.
Although Smith was only the second in line, he was still a very important member of the family.
Otherwise they wouldn’t have handed Sky Water City over to him.
One must know that Sky Water City was Calci Family’s money bag.

Also, although Megan was Smith’s daughter, she was also the family’s most favoured young lady.
Historically, the gender ratio between the male and female descendants of the family was mostly skewed towards the masculine side.
This was especially true for Megan’s generation.
In the entire Calci Family, there were only two girls aside from Megan; one died, while the other was an infamous lustful woman and was treated as nonexistent by the family.
In the family’s eyes, Megan was the best, not only was she attractive, she was also a very gentle obedient woman with a chastity as white as paper.
She was the treasure of Calci Family.

Megan’s identity was actually even better than Rosen Empire’s princess, she didn’t need to worry about getting married off.
Such a person, for Lionheart to actually dare lay his hands on, naturally incurred Smith’s anger.
After all, Smith heavily doted on this daughter of his.

But Smith was very calm, he didn’t immediately take action against the Grand Duke.
He was a person of the empire, so he knew much better than Marriott about the sensitive status of Lionheart.
It was not easy to make a move on him, otherwise they might get the attention of the Royal Clan, it was not worth it.
His love for his daughter against the family’s interests, he had to make a few concessions.

Regarding Zhao Hai, on the other hand, Smith was completely relieved that he didn’t lie about this matter.
Even after Megan was attacked, he still admitted that it was likely to have been caused by him.
He didn’t cover it up and instead told Smith everything clearly.
This made Smith feel better about Zhao Hai.
