I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 158 Manipulating the Sense of Expectation

The owner, Earl Nunn, enthusiastically led Kaios and Qing Cang Dawn, and introduced the various lords and nobles who came to the reception.

Of course, the lords and nobles here are not 100% uniformly positive towards Kaios. There are also a few sporadic people whose halos have a hint of purple, and one even has a red color. The halos of these people are in the In a sea of ​​blue and yellow apertures, it looks extremely conspicuous.

However, when Nunn and Kaios introduced them to them, they all behaved like the others, with sincere smiles on their faces, and warm words of politeness.

There are very few "native lords" registered locally in Valli City. Even at this reception, there were only a little over two-thirds, but the remaining one-third of the lords, even if they were not registered in Valli City, would They all have a considerable amount of territory or other assets in Valli City.

After listening to Nunn's introduction, Kaios keenly discovered that the lords with a little purple in the circles of light were all registered in other main cities.

However, Earl Simmons, the only lord with a bright circle of light, is a local lord, and he is the "Old Wally" whose ancestors participated in the construction of Wally City.

You don’t need to pay too much attention to those purple ones. Anyway, there are no powerful lords. There is only one person with a title, and the negative perception generally does not have any substantial impact. It belongs to the normal fluctuation category of likes and dislikes.

On the contrary, Earl Simmons, who has a little red circle, can try it out and see why he hates himself.

Keos greeted these lords and nobles calmly, and secretly compared the information on the main nobles in Valli City that had been collected by someone in front of Valli City with the real person in front of him.

Before time-traveling, Kaios didn't like socializing with real people very much. When he first time-traveling, because the original owner himself was not very social and had few friends, he also saved a lot of trouble.

But in the past two years, because he has produced more and more things, involved more and more fields, and has more and more interests, many times the social interaction with other lords is not what he wants or wants. The problem is that he has to do it.

However, because of the liking aperture and the ability to accurately judge emotions, it will be much easier for Kaios to interact with people.

Up to now, even with the lords and nobles he met for the first time, he can talk and laugh naturally.

Qian Cang Dawn was still with Kaios at the beginning, curiously listening to his communication with these local lords, trying to hear some useful information.

But after listening to it for a while, I found that most of their exchanges seemed to be greetings without actual information. You praise me, I praise you, fake smiles are piled on the face, a few words of information with a little bit of content are mixed in all kinds of unnutritious words, and jokes are made that are extremely conservative, and then they laugh with each other, and the hearing is shallow Dawn often feels at a loss of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?", and I even feel sleepy.

So after not long following Kaios, Qing Cang Dawn ran to eat by herself.

But to her disappointment, even though it was the main city closest to the Western Realm, the buffet dishes at this banquet were almost the same as those eaten in Yulang City.

Oh, there is still a little difference. The ingredients used in some dishes are obviously less fresh and of lower quality.

But disappointment is disappointment, Qian Cang Lixiao still didn't eat less...

From the light of dawn, Kaios seemed to be just chatting with these nobles all night, saying things without any real information.

But in fact, Kaios has already obtained a lot of information he wants to know from these exchanges that seem to have no actual content.

A lot of things said on this occasion will make people feel like a natural flattery or a casual statement, but Kaios can accurately distinguish the most authentic content from these words.

For example, why do these lords and nobles in Valli City have such a good attitude towards him, and their favorability is generally so high.

In fact, it has little to do with his label of "Lord of the Pandor family". After all, Pandor has been in Valli City for a short time, and there is no very strong interest group in the local area-in fact, it is impossible, any one It is impossible for the presiding judge to be recognized by all the lords in the territory under his jurisdiction, and they all think about one thing and use their strength to one place.If one party is satisfied, the other party must be dissatisfied, even if they both benefit.

The most important reason why Kaios is popular in Valli City is his reputation.

Regardless of the "magic refining system" or the "magic array system", they are all products that are well-known throughout the Holy Blessed Alliance, including his deeds, such as a baron doing an earl, killing four top-levels without a top-level, etc., have long been known. It was passed to Valli City, and it was talked about by the lords and noble circles of Valli City.

In terms of the number of "living lands" that can be transformed by the Holy Blessed Alliance, Valli City is estimated to be second only to the Northern Territory, so the new magic plant "New Star Fruit" has considerable promotion prospects in Valli City.

Although there were a lot of lands in Valli City before, they were not converted into planting lands by Shengyou Palace. The important point is that there are too many full-time farmers required for planting, harvesting, extracting, and encapsulating magic plants. There is no way to grow so fast in a short period of time.

The "Magic Refining System" perfectly solved this problem, so after the "Magic Refining System" was verified by many lands and a large number of lords that it can indeed run stably and efficiently, the lords of Valli City also began to urge Shengyou Gong quickly prepared the "New Star Fruit" planting territory in batches, and then sent people to Yulang City to set up the "Evil Refining System".

Of course, when they had this plan, the "creator" sales point had already opened to Valli City.

Although there are many living territories in Valli City, another reason why they are rarely used on a large scale to form magic planting territories is that this place is too close to the Western Realm, and there is a possibility of being attacked by bandits from the Western Realm. Many lords do not have enough defense force.

Therefore, the emergence of the "magic array system" attracted the pursuit of the lords and nobles of Valli City.

If there is any main city lord in the entire Holy Blessed Alliance that most needs the improvement of overall combat power and equipment, it is without a doubt Wali City, which is the closest to the western border.

Of course, because the "Magic Clothing System" has just been mass-produced and the output is limited, there is no lord who can use it in the entire Valli City--"Magic Clothing System" is not a custom-made magic costume Even if it is finished, there must be supporting "Magic Attendant" training and magic circle teaching. The whole sales process is very long. The current production capacity can't even meet the needs of Yulang City and the surrounding main cities, let alone the Western Realm. side.

But even if no one has really used the "Magic Array System", "Creator" is already the most popular label in Valli City. Setting up the "Magic Shadow Box" that has just launched a sample, Even in Valli City, it has become something that the aristocratic circles are keen to discuss, even if only a few nobles now have a "trial gift model" bought at a high price from other places.

Under such circumstances, Kaios, who created the "creator" by himself, directly disposed of all the territories and assets of Yulang City, and ran to Valli City with tens of thousands of citizens, becoming the registered lord of Valli City. The lords and nobles are naturally rejoicing and welcome with both hands.

In the future, Valli City will be the base camp of "creators". If something new comes out, they will use it first, experience it first, and buy it first!

It stands to reason that Valli City is so pursuing the "creator", Kaios should have noticed it before, but in fact, he didn't know anything about it before coming to Valli City.

Thinking about it, he immediately understood why.

Although the lords and nobles of Valli City are very fond of the "creator" series of products, the problem is... the overall strength of the local nobles in Valli City is really weak, and there is no way to make such a challenge to the "creator". There is no order that can attract the attention of Kaios, and no lord has enough influence to make Kaios choose to cooperate first.

Of course, this was the standard he used to judge the entire Holy Blessed Alliance as a development "map". Now that he has arrived in Valli City, the local lords and nobles naturally have different judgment standards.

In fact, even if the "creator" is not counted, just the operation of Kaios bringing tens of thousands of vassals to become the registered lord of Valli City can win a basic respect of the local lord.

Compared with Yulang City and other core main cities, Valli City faces much greater external threats. It can be seen that the former presiding judge Piltermo was cursed to death in the assassination.

Therefore, the lords of Valli City still think of grouping together more than competing. If there are such powerful lords who come to Valli City, they will not worry about their vested interests being encroached on and their influence will decline, but will be happy The combat power and strength of Valli City have increased again, and they have an advantage over the Western Realm.

It is a pity that for a long time, the powerful lords from all over the Holy Blessed Alliance have almost always had territories in Valli City, and have pioneering legions stationed here, but they are only here to train contract servants, obtain honor points from the Holy Blessed Palace, and earn living territory That's all, almost no one will really take root in Valli City. When Valli City is in crisis, these pioneering legions with top-level or even super-level powerhouses will not even take the initiative to rescue them, and Shengyou Palace will issue a forced order.

As for Kaios, it is obviously different.

Judging from his various rumors, reputation, and "creator" style, his arrival will not only help to enhance the strength of Valli City, but also has a great possibility to lead other people to develop and grow together.

In addition, there is another reason that Kaios did not expect:
He didn't deal with the Marquis of Steel Heart, and let the Marquis of Steel Heart be deflated!

Marquis Steel Heart's Xituo Legion is considered to be a very powerful force in the Western Realm. His Xituo Legion was one of the main forces in the previous battles in which the Holy Blessed Alliance defeated the Western Realm and wiped out several forces.

But Marquis Steel Heart's reputation in the western realm is not very good, no, it should be said...very bad.

Steelheart Marquis Xituo’s army’s supplies are all settled in Valli City, but they squeeze the local lords and nobles of Valli City as much as possible. Doing business with him will not only make profits, but even lose money if you are not careful. .

However, the Marquis of Steel Heart relied on the strength of his Xituo Legion, making it impossible for people to refuse to trade with him. Otherwise, he would have to apply for war to Shengyou Palace on the grounds of deliberately targeting him.

And the previous presiding judges, in order to make Xituo Legion use it for themselves and assist the Punishment Knights in the war against various forces in the Western Realm, also acquiesced in his actions to a certain extent, which further fueled his arrogance.

In this case, although the lords and nobles who suffered from the Marquis of Steel Heart and were directly oppressed by him are very few, the reputation of the Marquis of Steel Heart is definitely not good in Valli City, and everyone avoids it. kind.

After knowing that the battle between Kaios and Earl Gale was actually the Marquis of Steel Heart behind Gale, they would naturally have a sense of common hatred and substitution for Kaios.

So at the reception, happily arranging jokes about the Marquis of Steel Heart together became a shortcut to quickly close the relationship.

Keos bragged, talking about how he got more than 200 million magic coupons from the Marquis of Steel Heart as a war indemnity, how the Marquis of Steel Heart turned pale after losing the duel with the contracted servants, and how he lost his composure after the defeat of Earl Gale, Cursing Gale and other "first-hand on-site descriptions" with a changed face can attract sincere admiration from all the lords and nobles.

Of course, some people can see that many of what he said are bragging or exaggerated descriptions, but Keos doesn’t care that some people think that he is exaggerated. For now, this start in Valli City is good enough, too prudent , Reliable personality design is not good, it will be better to appropriately lower their perception, expectation and evaluation of themselves.

At the end of the reception, Kaios stood directly on a table, raised his glass, and made a promise to all the lords and nobles:
A month later, the several factories he moved to Valli City are expected to start to have stable output. System" or "Shadow Box", both will be satisfied immediately!
Amidst the cheers of all the nobles, Kaios promised again that he still has a series of big projects to launch, and he welcomes the local lords of Valli City to cooperate.

However, Keos also apologized on the spot, saying that this cooperation may have certain basic and rigid requirements, and there is no way to satisfy all the lords present.

But what he said still drew cheers from the audience. For the lords and nobles present, what he said was quite natural. A big project that can earn a lot of magic coupons and change the ecological structure of the entire industry must be There are threshold requirements.

The most important thing is that this project stays in Valli City, and the real Lord of Valli City is doing it and making profits!
Others can't eat large pieces of meat, and the soup can always get a little bit.

In fact, according to Keos’ original plan, if the lords and nobles of Valli City are lukewarm to him, or if there are many people who are secretly hostile to him, he is going to directly say that “all nobles have the opportunity to cooperate” , so as to attract more people's butts to his side.

He doesn't care about giving more money to people and making more people profit together. He has a lot of cooperation means to make everyone eligible to participate.

But since these lords and nobles already have a high degree of affection for him today, they should deliberately lower their expectations, so that it will be easier when the nobles who originally thought they would not meet the "threshold" find out that they can participate There are unexpected surprises and gratitude to him.

After attending the welcome reception in Valli City, Keos met an "old friend" in his territory the next day.
