Jill nodded, and he didn't think that there was anything wrong with Lance killing a jazz. People like them were born to be the ones who dominate others' fate, even if his younger brother's blood carries the dirty blood of human beings in his blood - at least that blood that is dependent on the throne cannot be violated.

Lance was a little uneasy about this uninvited guest.

"Gill, what is your purpose in coming today? Could it be that I really came to me for a family matter, right?"

"Of course not." replied the blonde man with vampire blood.

"Then let me tell you quickly, you wouldn't think I'll keep you here for dinner. As the county magistrate of Guruling, I'm very busy." Lance said righteously, in fact, he yawned while saying it.

Gill's cold pupils reflected his incompetent brother. Lance's exhaustion was as tired as others knew. Rather than being busy with work, he was in a hurry to sleep.

However, he did not mock the other party anymore: "This time my father sent me here. You were too hasty when you left, so he asked me to bring you something."

"What?"

"Money, servant." Jill's answer was simple and clear.

Hearing this, Lance sat upright from the bed. He looked at Jill in surprise. No, this guy is not only here to find fault, but actually comes to give him money. You heard it right?

"How much money is there?" Lance asked tentatively.

"No less than the treasure you 'borted' from me, so Lance, you know, the money first offsets the part you 'borted' from me." Gil aggravated his voice when he mentioned this word borrowing.

Lance opened his mouth and wanted to refute it, but when he saw Jill pressing his hand on the hilt of the sword, he shut up tactfully.

If the properties of black steel are between level B and level C, then the data presented in Lance's eyes are now like this.

Jill (Demon-Vampire Mixed).

Occupation: Soldier.

Skills: [Sword A-], [Magic Control B+], [Strategy A]

Lance knew very well that Heigang was not the opponent of this dead face, but after this comparison, I really found that the gap was obvious.

Lance swallowed the words back, and the hero did not suffer any loss in front of him.

"How many left?" he asked with a stinking face. He was so upset. He just gave him hope and immediately disappointed him. If he hadn't really done anything to Jill now, this demon with human blood would have turned against him now.

"30,000 gold, the actual number is less, but I'll fill it in for you."

"Then I have to thank you, my brother." Lance said with a smile.

"No need." Jill said coldly: "There are some servants..."

"Take them away, I don't want a few more spies in my territory who want my life at any time." Lance said bluntly.

Jill didn't say anything, he was just a default.

"By the way, when will I be able to return to Lords Fort?" Lance asked suddenly.

Jill did not answer his question positively, but said, "In addition to my father, my elder brother also asked me to bring you a word."

"Our brothers don't have overnight revenge, so they've let go of their past grudges?"

Lance's humor obviously did not touch the cold second brother. He stared at Lance with his inorganic eyes: "He asked me to tell you that the next time he saw you, he would peel you off. Don't think that his father can protect you all the time."

"Then won't I go back forever?"

Jill's eyes still stared at Lance's silver eyes that did not belong to the demon or even the abyss. In fact, those eyes were inherited from the latter's mother. Jill seemed to want to see clearly the nature hidden behind this younger brother through those flawless eyes. He was not as reckless as the boss. In fact, he could more or less feel some of the ambitions behind the cynicism. After all, even Lance had the noble bloodline of a great demon in his body.

He opened his mouth and finally spoke: "Do you want to get rid of your elder brother?"

Faced with such a careless answer, Lance immediately suffered a catastrophic question. He hugged his head with his hands and lay back: "If there is a chance, why not?"

"What about me?" Jill asked again.

In fact, his hand was always on the hilt of the sword. If Lance was his opponent, he could kill the other party in an instant, even if the nearby group of guards were on the same side.

But Lance's answer is exactly the same as the previous one.

"If there is a chance, why not?" Lance pillowed his head and looked at the ceiling, as if he had not noticed that the murderous aura of substance spread out from Jill.

Sir Mavie, who was standing in this hall, felt like he was going crazy. What was going on? Are the two brothers fighting here?

Not only Ma Wei, but even Heigang and the guards responded to Jill's murderous aura and silently surrounded him.

"Lance, your man is not my opponent." Jill seemed indifferent to those around him. In front of him, the only person who was qualified to talk to him was his cynical brother.

"You are right, but you won't kill me, at least not today."

"Why?"

“Because I’m not qualified enough.”

After Lance finished speaking, Jill moved his hand away from the hilt of the sword, and the murderous aura in the room suddenly disappeared and completely disappeared, as if it had never existed at the beginning.

He turned around and never looked at Lance again.

But before he took the step, he left a sentence: "I will give you a piece of advice, Lance, my patience is not indefinite. Remember the agreement between us - and, I will tell my elder brother what happened today."

"It doesn't matter." Lance shrugged, looking indifferent: "Can brother kill me twice?"

Yes, why should a death row prisoner care about whether the noose on his neck is one or two?

Jill didn't look at Lance again, nor did he look at the black steel and black armored guards around him. He took a big step forward, and no one dared to stop him. Sir Mavi, who came with him, seemed to have seen Lance for the first time today. He turned around and quickly looked at the lazy young man lying on the bed, and then hurriedly caught up with Jill's footsteps. He knew very well that this was not something he could get involved with, so just pretend that he hadn't seen it.

After Jill left, only Black Steel was left in the room. Layla and Lance's guards were left. Layla didn't understand what was going on, but he gradually understood that his county magistrate was being troubled by something, but this was not something that she, a country girl, could solve. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to speak.

Lance waved his hand and asked them all to retreat. Layla bit her lip, and although she was worried about Lance, she had to obey the order.

Only Lance and his confidant Heigang were left in the room.

"Young Master, you are still too anxious. It's far from the time to showdown." Hei Gang's face showed a worried look, although ordinary people didn't know how to distinguish it from his ant's face.

However, Lance's answer was very dull.

"Hei Steel, you're wrong. These cards have been opened from the beginning. They have never concealed their hostility towards me. Jill is not a fool. If I can't deceive him with a clumsy lie, it's better to admit it generously." Lance was very rational, or had never been sober: "I have an agreement with Jill. As long as this agreement is still there, Jill will not attack me-at least he himself will not. If the elder brother is, he wants to kill me, but if my old man is there, he will have no way to deal with me, so there is still time."

Heigang nodded and stopped talking. He knew some things about the three brothers of the Igusas family, but only to the point where Lance needed to let him know. And deeper, it has been buried in the memories of past years.

For a moment, Lance looked at the dazed and dazed outside the window.

【Brother Jill, Brother Jill.】

【Lance, I will protect you no matter what happens.】

I still remember the words he said to him that year.

But in a blink of an eye, they were torn into pieces by hatred and lies.

【Lance, get out of my sight, don’t force me to kill you!】

Lance sighed and returned to reality from memory. There is no eternal emotion, only unforgettable hatred, this is the law of the abyss.

Lance looked into the distance, and there was a pioneering movement in the entire Gulu Ridge.

And his goal is in a farther place, and there is no time to look back!

After conquering the cavemen and putting down the crystal veins, Lance finally began to clean up his internal affairs and prepare for his territorial level improvement.

The government decrees he can choose now are Pioneer I, Sowing Technology Improvement I and Tax Reform I. Only two of these three basic projects need to be completed and then pay a certain fee, Lance can complete the upgrade of the territory. In order to achieve this goal, Lance recruited a large number of corvee labor, developed nearby wastelands, and improved the sowing technology.

This matter is quite coincidental, because completing this internal affairs requires a person with a skill specialization of F or above. When talking about this, Layla happened to be next to him. When she heard that Lance needed to find someone who could farm, Layla recommended her father who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Originally, Lance had a try-out mentality and sold Layla to the point of being favorable.

But when he called Layla's father Ruhr to take a look, he found that the other party had a [agriculture] level and reached the E-level assessment. It was more than enough to deal with the most basic conditions. Lance simply waved his hand and asked him to take care of it all. Within two days, Lance received the reputation and reward for completing the task.

It is probably not long before the thousand corvee labor he recruited will complete the task of developing the surrounding areas of Gululing. This is not a major project in the whole area, but just a development of more farmland that can be sown, so the construction period is not long. As for the remaining tax reform, it seems to be the simplest and most troublesome.

Not long ago, Mosen, who had completely turned to Lance's side, had already explained the tricks that existed in the tax system, and also made Lance understand the reason why he could not win the reputation among ordinary people. However, he still could not make up for the drastic reforms, otherwise the squire who had finally stabilized would be completely sent to the opposite side of Lance this time.

"You can't hurry up." Lance said to himself silently.
