Chapter 97: The Conflicted Mocha
Because of Chi Nan's refusal, Mo Cha became a little listless and followed Chi Nan and his group back to Hongshaling. When he arrived at Hongshaling, Mo Cha's eyes suddenly condensed and he looked at everything around him.
After entering the castle, Mo Cha breathed a sigh of relief in his room. "Damn half-elf, dare to do this to me, it's shameful to insult a great noble."
Luo Jia looked around carefully. There were only three people here at this time, and the other one was the flatterer.
"Baron, this half-elf is really not respectful, let's just kill him."
"Shut up, Chi Nan is a baron personally appointed by the Third Princess, and he is also a lord. After killing him, will I still be alive?" When did this guy come out to talk nonsense.
Originally, this guy looked quite smart and stayed by my side all the time, but why is he getting more and more unhappy recently?
Luo Jia asked hesitantly: "Baron, why are you so polite to this lord?" I remember that when I first came, Mo Cha didn't care much about Chi Nan.
Mo Cha was a little depressed, and waved to the flatterer next to him: "Go out, watch at the door, don't let anyone get close to here." The flatterer had no choice but to bow and ran out quickly.
This is a castle designed and built by the nobles according to their requirements. Although it looks a bit shabby, the sound insulation effect is very good. After the flatterer left, Mo Cha lowered his voice and said: "At first I really didn't think much of this guy. After all, he is just a half-elf, and the territory is so remote and desolate, basically there is no threat."
"But later you also saw how powerful that weapon is. With this weapon, let alone other things, at least in terms of military strength, Hongshaling will definitely not be too weak."
So that's it, Luo Jia understood a little. With a strong army, this is a real powerful noble. Especially now in a place like Remas, the role of the army is more prominent.
No wonder Baron Mocha was so polite. He originally thought that he was just a useless cannon fodder lord, but he turned out to be a powerful lord. He himself has no territory, which is far from the lord.
"Besides, didn't you see just now that there are so many people in Hongshaling, but they look like refugees. I see that they eat and drink well, and can afford so many civilians. The strength of Hongshaling should not be underestimated."
Luo Jia nodded slightly: "Your Excellency is right. The civilians here seem to be very supportive of their lord. In this way, as long as nothing unexpected happens, Hongshaling can definitely develop into a powerful territory."
Mocha said angrily: "That's it. This damn half-elf can actually develop the territory into this. If he gets more territory, he will definitely have more say in the future. If I offend him now, if he becomes powerful in the future, even my father may not be willing to protect me."
Thinking that the beautiful woman Hemi was right in front of him, he couldn't move. Thinking of a half-elf who dared to not give him face for a woman, and even refused to provide him with a woman.
Mocha was in an even worse mood. In his opinion, this was a complete insult to himself as a baron, and he was not taken seriously. If it were any other noble, who would dare to treat a real noble like this.
"Your Excellency, don't be angry. After all, the lord here is a half-elf. The rules of half-elves are definitely different from those of our human race. I heard that some half-elves and elves have the same personality."
Mocha exhaled: "That's right, he pointed out that it's not bad, but I'm still unhappy. Fortunately, this lord is not a smart man. When I get that kind of pea cannon and plant it, I will definitely get great credit with it. By then, hehe, what can a mere Red Sand Ridge lord do?"
Mocha was already in an illusion, relying on a large number of pea cannons to obtain a lot of wealth and territory, and then showing off his power. Luo Jia frowned slightly. Is it really that simple?
Anyone would know the value of these things. Could it be that this half-elf is so easy to deceive? But his own baron is so excited, he can't say anything, otherwise he will be hated.
Chi Nan doesn't know that Mocha is planning to use his pea cannon. If he knew, he would definitely sneer at it. To prevent copycats, who can pay more attention than people from my great China? If you can copy it, you are awesome.
Hemi La stood in front of Chi Nan with a worried look on her face: "I'm sorry, sir, I've caused you trouble."
Chi Nan waved his hand: "What trouble, you are my archon, and it is my responsibility to protect you. Humph, let alone a mere baron, even if the king comes, don't think of me compromising.
Hemi La's eyes sparkled, as if there was something more: "Sir, you are so good to me. But what to do next, your attitude seems to have offended Baron Mocha. "
Hermilas was quite clear about the temperament of the nobles in the kingdom. Even if she had heard a lot from hearsay, the nobles were generally arrogant and unkind. If they caused too much trouble to the lord, it would be bad. If she had known this, she should not have gone out. However, as a consul, how could she not go out?
Chi Nan waved his hand nonchalantly: "How else can we deal with them? They are nobles, so of course we should treat them with the highest standards. Doesn't this also show our sincerity?"
"Also, didn't I just ask Mu Luo to research some pasta and pastries recently? How are they? Send some over so that the baron can enjoy them and taste them well."
"Sir, even if you do this, he will not forgive you." Hemila was still a little worried. In fact, Hemila was ready to sacrifice herself. Sacrificing for the territory was originally the duty of the common people.
Chi Nan sneered: "Hehe, of course I didn't let them enjoy it for nothing. I didn't think of apologizing or anything. We Hongshaling people don't need to apologize to anyone. How do you think our noodles taste?"
"Of course it's the best. Even the nobles outside can't have tasted it."
Chi Nan continued: "Then if they get used to it, what will happen when they can't eat it anymore?"
"I see, sir, you want to do business with Mocha and sell the flour."
Chi Nan nodded and shook his head: "It's right to do business, but not with Mocha. The nobles will definitely show off when they have good things, and that Mocha is no exception. By then, we can do business with many people."
