Lance couldn't help looking at Fiona differently. Lance always thought she was a mage with extremely high destructive power, and forgot that she had another identity - a scholar.

There is no clear division of different ranks in this world, nor any special transfer exams. If you are proficient in swordsmanship, then you are a swordsman rank. If you are proficient in spells, you are a mage rank. If you are proficient in magic and swordsmanship, you will be given an evaluation of the magic sword.

However, the combat ranks and academic ranks are separated.

For example, Fiona has the combat rank of a mage and the academic rank of a scholar.

People with the Scholar level have the attribute bonus of Reading +2 and Knowledge +2. Unfortunately, Lance's current insight skill level is too low to see the other party's true attributes clearly.

After discovering this, Lance was determined to test this little girl. Lance's chief financial officer was Mosen. Although Lance admitted that Mosen was a capable person, with the influx of a large number of merchants and the opening of the market, Mosen also had to supervise Lance's mining area. These tasks were all on his shoulders. It was not necessarily too heavy.

The most important thing is that if this old guy can handle Lance and no matter what he can't handle, Lance will wipe his butt, which makes people a little unbearable.

Thinking of this, Lance planned to take Fiona to find Morson. Lance has always been a casual person. Although he had just made up his mind to squeeze Fiona and let her leave consciously, after discovering Fiona's interesting abilities, Lance felt that such talents still need to be fought for - although the other party's personality is really a problem.

He said hello to Ekil casually, and Lance walked towards Morson's house, but Ekil stopped.

"Is there anything else?" If he was going to ask him to stay and help with the work, Lance was ready to apply oil to his feet at any time.

"Mr. County Lord, after you read the supply orders just now, don't you have any thoughts?"

Aikil is not a good-tempered person, and there are not many people in Gululing who dare to talk to Lance like this, but Lance, who is really capable, doesn't care about this kind of etiquette problem anymore.

"What's the problem?" Lance frowned. He just wanted to take this account book to test Kaffiona's arithmetic, but he really couldn't see the others.

At this time, before Aikil spoke, a female voice from the side added in.

"Based on the time recorded, the goods entering Guruling have been maliciously raised prices recently, and the materials for construction consumables are constantly decreasing."

Lance glanced at Fiona who was talking, picked up the pile of accounts that Akiel was calculating again, and took a look.

As Fiona said, there was indeed something tricky about the bills on these construction site reports. Lance's face suddenly turned dark: "What are Mosen doing? And those businessmen are so tired of living, even I dare to cheat?"

"Mosen has already gone to talk to those merchants, but it seems that this matter is not because of the merchants, but the surrounding cities have suddenly raised tariffs. Forget it, you should ask Mosen yourself." As soon as Ekir said this, he lowered his head and continued to calculate the account book. However, he seemed to have thought of something, suddenly raised his head and stared at Fiona behind Lance with bright eyes.

Lance knew what he was thinking when he saw this look. After all, it was not the first time.

Sure enough, Aikil almost jumped up from the chair and rushed towards Fiona.

"You just spoke human language, so you are also human..."

bass--

Fiona didn't even raise her eyelids, let alone any changes in her expression on her face, but a black blade shot out directly from the shadow under her feet, stabbing Egil's throat.

"Hey, don't!" Lance didn't care about it now. He was just a person who could do construction and civil engineering, so he couldn't tolerate Fiona killing it like this.

Fortunately, the girl was still a little bit sensible - although Lance was not sure about this, this time, the Shadow Blade barely stopped at two centimeters of Agil's throat.

Lance was really relieved. As for Aikil, he must be speechless.

Lance grabbed Aikil so that he wouldn't fall to the ground without losing his strength, and then pressed him on the chair, and said, "This Miss Talonia is the daughter of the Duke of Talonia's family. The devil's bloodline is purer than me. Then, it's too rude to rush to a young lady like this. This time I'll just buy a lesson."

"But she just said..."

"Don't the skeleton translator I arranged for you can speak human language? Don't be too nervous."

After much persuasion, Aikir calmed down and nodded.

Rather than teaching a lesson, it is more of comfort. After dealing with Aikil, Lance turned his head and said seriously to Fiona: "Miss Talunya, in my territory, I hope you can try your best to avoid happening like what happened like before. They are my important subordinates and helpers. If you target them again, please don't blame me for making up my mind to expel you!"

Fiona looked at Lance slowly, and nodded after confirming that the other party was not joking.

This time, Aikiel felt embarrassed: "Well, the county magistrate, what happened just now was that I was too abrupt. The wrong person was me, so don't blame the girl anymore."

Lance actually didn't plan to do anything to Fiona, and in fact he didn't have the ability. However, in front of the subordinates, the leader should not be timid. Since Agil gave him a very good way, Lance took Fiona away with him.

Then, Lance hit an empty door in Mosen's hometown. His servant reported that the master went to the market to negotiate with the merchants and asked the county governor if he wanted to wait at home first.

Lance felt that he had nothing to do, so he just went over to see what was going on, so he could save the problem of this group of merchants.

Lance had a treaty with the merchants. It can even be said that in order to quickly develop Gululing and make this dilapidated countryside that was originally unpopular, it has given many benefits to the merchants. It can even be said that Lance is losing money to the merchants and making money cheaply, in order to make this foundation, but if they become arrogant, Lance doesn't mind leaving a profound lesson to each of them.

But it shouldn't be.

In his impression, businessmen are shrewd and profit-oriented creatures. He really can't figure out what good it will do to annoy him.

At this time, what Aikil had said to him before came to his mind again.

[It seems that this matter is not because of the merchants, but because the surrounding cities suddenly raised tariffs...]

Could it be that...

Lance thought of something, and ordered the servant of the Mosen family, asking him to find Heigang, and then asked him to bring his soldiers to the market to see him.

Lance didn't think about other things anymore, but he would go to see Mosen first.

He always vaguely felt something bad was happening.

The place of Gululing is not big or small. When Lance came to the market from Mosen's house, it took about a quarter of an hour. The market today is really different from the past. I still remember that when Lance spent money to build this thing, there were few stores. The only store in it was invested by Lance himself. Now, there is no need to say more, this level 1 market has been expanded three times and has been upgraded to an LV4 building. Not only has the space been increased, but it has greatly improved the layout and various auxiliary facilities. It can be said that Gululing's prosperity is now inseparable from this market.

The people of Lance maintained this market order, and there were shops invested by Lance in this market, so he easily found Morson.

At this time, Mosen was gathering with several well-known merchants in Gululing for a meeting. When they saw Lance coming in, they all quickly lowered their bodies and blessed them.

Lance's face was very dark, and it was not ruled out that there was light, but anyone could see that the unhappy county magistrate was covered with a layer of murderous aura.

Fortunately, people who do business in places like the abyss are used to the market. They are not overwhelmed by the momentum of the county magistrate, of course, only for the time being.

"Tell me what's going on?" Kolans's intimidation was not fake. With Lance a few minutes after he arrived, Heigang and a large group of guards also arrived. They were just on a mission, and several armors were covered with blood. At this moment, the scene became a little nervous.

Mosen knew Lance's temper. It would be fine if Lance didn't get angry. Killing was inevitable when he got angry, but the key problem was that it seemed that it was not the fault of the merchants. He hurriedly said: "Mr. Lance, this matter is not what you think, but someone interfered with it..."

"It's better," but Lance saw Heigang coming with his army, so he simply showed his fangs. He actually felt where his resistance came from. The more in this case, according to the merchant's pursuit of profit and swaying character, he had to let them clearly understand what would be the result that would be waiting for them once they chose the opposite camp.

Lance's silver pupils glanced at all the merchants in this specially opened conference room and showed their white teeth: "I think you all know who I am, but some new businessmen and friends don't know what I am, and some old friends of mine have gradually forgotten this in the face of interests. But, you guys listen to me. No matter how hard you have, I ask yourself, whose backend can be stronger than me!? I give you preferential treatment and give you the opportunity to make money and make money, but if you finally choose to betray me and want to stab me behind me, the blood and bones buried under Gulu Ridge yesterday will be your ending tomorrow!"

Lance pulled out the sword that he had never used to hang himself at his waist and slashed towards the hard wooden table. There was no place for this sword to be rendered ink, just an ordinary sword, but in the next second, the conference table in the center was broken into two sections.

Heigang couldn't help but exclaim, but he didn't show his expression on his face.

After pretending, Lance put the sword in the sheath and did not even give anyone a time to refute and explain, so he took the team of people away. He only gave Mosen a look, who was also a smart person. He nodded with thought, staying to help Lance clean up the mess.

Lance and others came in a hurry and left again.

Several newly settled big merchants looked at each other, and after seeing Lance and others completely disappeared, they couldn't help but start talking and complaining. However, the merchants who first followed Lance and experienced Lance's bloody suppression of adventurers had their faces turned pale, and a few of them were close enough to jump out and grabbed Mosen's robe.

"Mr. Tari (Mosen's surname), this matter doesn't matter at all. We will try our best to stabilize the price and meet the needs of Goulling to the greatest extent. You must explain it to the county governor for us!"
