Can't I develop my own character?

"it is good!"

"Mart!"

"Alas, Mr. Thomas, I really want to transfer the title to you, but who made you sign a contract with Miss Venetian? The nobles of the Augustus Empire always keep their promises, and I always like to do business with people who keep their word."

Thomas vomited blood.

Keep your word?

You say this guy is trustworthy?

She just stole thirty gold coins from me yesterday!

But Thomas also realized that the key point was not the amount of gold coins. He still had money and could have another two hundred gold coins, but so what?

That wallet is so weird.

A small wallet that can hold so many things is indeed very tempting to the nobles. After all, with that thing, they can carry precious things with them at any time.

"Humph! Malte, you'll regret this!"

Thomas snorted coldly, and was no longer in the mood to attend the banquet, so he turned and left.

"Heh~ I'll regret it if I give you the title."

Malte sneered. He knew Thomas was no ordinary man, but so what? He was leaving tonight.

"Come on, Miss Venetian, let's sign the contract. I'll have someone get the Viscount's seal and medal."

Half an hour later, the contract was signed and the transaction was completed in one go.

"Well, Miss Vine, we have enough gold coins. Is that wallet..." Malte stared at the wallet in Vine's hand with fiery eyes.

The latter handed over the wallet and whispered, "Be careful, you might be targeted."

Malte was stunned, then nodded repeatedly, which meant that he should not reveal the secret of the wallet too much... No, I have to leave now.

Putting the wallet in his pocket, Malte called the servants.

"Miss Venetian...ah no, Viscount Venetian, I wish you a pleasant experience in Kells."

After leaving behind gentlemanly etiquette, Marte left with his servants.

The deal was done, and from now on, the city of Kells and everything in this castle had nothing to do with him.

"Viscount Venetian, we are leaving too."

"Please."

Clyde and Ham also left in a hurry. As for what they were going to do, that was none of Winnie's business.

"This castle... is bigger than mine."

'Weine' looked around, a faint smile on her lips.

"From today on, please call me Viscount."

......

【You become Lord of Kells.】

After Ryan finished reporting to the Grand Duke, he switched to the character interface of 'Vene' and was stunned when he saw the news.

He also just remembered that Vine was going to a banquet tonight. There was no other way. The princess rescue operation was too crazy. If he was not careful, 'Xia Li' would have died. The reason why she could hold on to the end was because he sent two waves of magic recovery potions.

"What the hell, a wallet is worth 500 gold coins??"

Ryan finished reading the hang-up records.

Suddenly I had the illusion that the Viscount of the Empire was an idiot.

Isn't that just an ordinary wallet?

As for the thing that keeps coming out of it, that's because of the game backpack and has nothing to do with the wallet.

However, he did get the title by doing this. However, Ryan still underestimated Thomas's financial resources. He only had 3500 gold coins in total. The other party must have more money on him. There was no chance of fair competition.

For a moment, Ryan actually had the illusion that AI was better than him.

"That guy Thomas is probably unwilling to accept this. If the Second Prince is also behind him, he might even send out a transcendent to kill him."

"It's not a big deal. We'll fight back if the enemy comes."

Wei Nei is already level 15. I will try to raise the level in the next few days, and it would be best if I could capture a few monsters above level 20.

There is a fierce fight going on in Casradi now. Even if it is really the Second Prince who is behind this, he has no extra energy to deal with the affairs of Kells City.

As long as it is not a third-level extraordinary person, Ryan will not worry.

"From now on, I can let the AI ​​fight on its own, and I can just lie back and carry the team."

Originally, he'd considered getting involved in the management of Kells City himself, trying to develop it first and see how it worked. Now, it seemed like he could let AI take over. If there weren't any secretaries, he could create one. Who says AI can't compare to secretaries? At least it's capable.

Thinking about it, Ryan continued to set it to idle mode, then packed up and returned home.

Casradi and the others have already escaped from the Khalkha Mountains and entered a large grassland. The pursuers are still there, but they should be able to spend the night safely. However, they have lost contact with the Royal Guards, so it is difficult to return to Berman City.

Avik certainly has more than Kosotoja's 6,000 soldiers. If new enemies emerge, "Charlie" alone will not be able to stop them.

"I don't know where the old captain and the others are."

Jonathan is so useless, where is all the support?

After thinking it over, Ryan decided that he couldn't just sit there and wait. He walked out the door and shouted into the air, "Bloody Clothes."

The next moment, accompanied by the emergence of black mist, the man in blood-stained clothes walked out in the night.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

"Where is the Iron Blood Legion?"

"I received a letter not long ago saying they have arrived at a forest north of Kosothoa. My lord, do you want them to attack the city?"

"No, let them surround the city and kill anyone who comes out. At the same time, spread the word that Maganna's iron-blooded army is on the way. Let that villain Avik clean his neck. The Grand Duke wants to use his flesh to make buns and feed his dogs."

"Yes."

Xueyi took the order and left.

He had already sent nearly two thousand Iron Blood Legion soldiers there, but it was unrealistic to have them attack the city. If the heavy cavalry couldn't charge, what good would it do? It just so happened that Maganna had the idea of ​​using Casradi, so this rescue was the best opportunity.

Don't worry about anything else, just restore your reputation first. Avik's attack plan has been thwarted, and as long as Casradi is not dead, the Grand Duke won't have to jump into the cesspool.

If you don’t stand up now, when will you stand up?

As for Casradi, it depends on him, a loyal minister, to whisper in his ear.

...

Meanwhile, on the train outside Kells.

Malte looked at the wallet stuffed in his hand and scratched his head in confusion.

He stuffed another gold coin in, and several more fell out.

"That's bad. I didn't ask clearly how to use this extraordinary item."

...

the next day.

Ryan got up early and the first thing he did was open the game.

"OMG, why is this the same as playing with my phone in my previous life? Games are so damn harmful."

No matter how much you complain, you still have to play the game.

It was already daybreak, and the troops in Berman City were preparing for breakfast and would set off in about twenty minutes.

Casradi sent people to inquire about the movements of the Royal Guards. The good news was that the people were found. The bad news was that not only the Royal Guards were found.

An unknown army emerged, about three thousand strong, and completely suppressed the Royal Guards in a head-on battle.

Casradi originally planned to take these people to provide support, but good news came. Jonathan and the people from the Fire Covenant successfully reunited with them, and then brought bad news. The unknown army had more than three thousand people.

The other side was divided into two groups, and there were also 3,000 people on the other side, searching the streets for Casradi's whereabouts.

In addition, the Kosotho runner-up regained their confidence after a night of reorganization. Viscount Avik gathered 4,000 troops and personally led them into battle. However, they were beaten by the Iron Blood Legion as soon as they stepped out of the gate.

Two thousand people against four thousand people, the advantage is on my side!

Gluck joined up with the Iron Blood Legion and took out his anger over the deaths of his team members on Avik's army. Two thousand Iron Bloods fought back an army twice their size, forcing Avik to close the city gates and not dare to go out.

Ryan was envious of the Iron Blood Legion's combat effectiveness, and he had to praise the Grand Duke's ability to train soldiers.

As for 'Vine', Ryan woke up to find that there were two thousand more soldiers and horses around the castle. After checking the records, he realized that it was 'Vine' who transferred them there herself to prevent any unruly people from harming her.

With the change of lords, the situation in Kells is bound to be turbulent. In addition, there are villains like Thomas watching, so "Weine" directly transferred all the city defense forces to the surrounding area of ​​​​the castle for protection.

Malte had wanted to escape a long time ago, so the construction of the city defense army was in a mess, and these two thousand people were cobbled together, but no matter what, it was quite intimidating to pull them out.

"So many people showed up again... Sigh~ It's really annoying to have no troops on hand."

Ryan shook his head. Give him 10,000 people and kill all the traitors!

After washing up, Ryan went to work as usual, doing his job as mayor, while also paying attention to battle reports from the front line.

As expected, Casradi's team suffered several waves of attacks. It was impossible for a group of more than a thousand people to hide. After the attackers discovered their whereabouts, they surrounded them on a large scale.

I'm afraid that another war will break out soon.

"This isn't a solution."

Ryan was having a headache when Xueyi suddenly brought the latest news from Kosothoa City - Maganna ordered the city to be burned!

"No way? It's really on fire? Where are the people inside???"

"Don't worry, sir. Most of the imperial citizens inside have escaped."

The city burning operation took place this morning, and Xueyi told Ryan about the situation.

This order came from Maganna herself. She had someone spread the news in advance that she was going to massacre the city, targeting all those who remained in the city and followed Avik to rebel against the empire.

Avik attacked and killed the princess, so he is a traitor. If you follow him, you are also traitors.

When the Grand Duke calls you a traitor, you'd better really be one, or run away.

In fact, Kosotoya's attack was sudden, and Avik did not inform anyone in advance. Afterwards, the people in the city were always worried, but they were intimidated by Avik's power and did not dare to act recklessly.

The mood in the city changed after the army led by Avik was repelled early this morning, and Maganna seized the opportunity to spread panic.

Who is she?

The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke!

What’s the big deal about massacring a city?

No one questioned the authenticity of this incident. After the news spread, the whole of Kosovo was in chaos.

Although Avik sent people to suppress the riot, the few people he had were not enough to stop it, not to mention that there were more than a thousand Iron Blood Legion outside the city.

Gluck led his team into the city and opened the city gate during the chaos. In an instant, all the citizens who wanted to escape rushed out.

When Ryan heard this, he wondered, "Won't the city guards stop them?"

Bloody Clothes said, "I'm not sure, but Gluck said that at least half of the soldiers at the city gate also fled, and they didn't pursue them."

"Uh..."

It sounds like there's something wrong, but it also seems like there's nothing wrong.

It can be said that she is worthy of being called Maganna, her reputation is well-deserved.

If Avik rebels, it is impossible for the citizens to follow him. Even if some people do follow him, most of them are innocent.

But the word "innocence" is difficult to define in this world. How many of those who died were not innocent?

Maganna gave them a chance. Although Ryan was not sure whether she really wanted to give it to them, it had to be said that this trick did work and caused Kosothoa to be in complete chaos.

When most of the citizens who should have run away had done so, the special forces set fires everywhere. It was too easy for the extraordinary people to do such a thing.

The fire has already started, and it is naturally impossible for it to spread rapidly in a short time, but it is only a matter of time before the city is burned down. The Iron Blood Legion is guarding the exit of the city gate, killing one if one comes, and killing a pair if two come.

Gluck sent a message saying that Kosotoya would be captured in two hours at most.

"That's a good move, Grand Duke... Wait, I have to act quickly too!"

Whether the Grand Duke is good or not depends on him.
