It was obvious that Sophia and the Freeman family had a prosperous relationship.
Lorne didn't know how much control Sophia had over the Freeman family, but it was definitely not as irrelevant as the woman herself said.
If Lorne were to judge, he believed that Sophia and the Freeman family were equivalent to the Grand Duchess and the Baker family.
The reason why the other party drew a clear line in front of Lorn was simply because he didn't want to have too much contact with him.
After all, the Fast family does not belong to the core of the Holy Light Religion, and the grudge between Lorne and Athena also made Sophia curious while always keeping a distance from him.
But Lorne needs Sophia's helping hand to push Elsa, but what can he do now when the other party blocks the road without even opening a word?
"Your Excellency, why would I want to get something from you?
A long time ago, before I inherited the title, I heard about the reputation of the Freeman family.
Now I just have some cooperation matters to discuss with Viscount Freeman.
Unfortunately, my Fast family has never cooperated with Viscount Freeman, so I hope the bishop can introduce him. " nonsense Sophia mentally defined Lorne's flattery.
The Freeman family actually rose a little earlier than the Fast family, and the current situation is not as grand as the Fast family.
I had heard that their family's name was even more nonsense a long time ago.
The more Lorne praised it, the more alert Sophia became.
Unexpectedly, flattery can have counter-effects.
Lorn, who noticed that the woman's expression was wrong, dared to play any tricks.
Anyway, interests among nobles always come first.
Sophia is a noble first, and then she is the bishop of the Holy Light Religion.
There is no doubt about this.
Lorne, who is already well-informed, has a clear understanding of the priests of the Holy Light Religion.
In terms of religious piety, civilian priests are stronger than aristocratic priests.
But in terms of ability, it is the noble priests who crush the civilian priests.
It shows on the surface, that is to say, people like Sophia and Athena are cunning, and they will more or less engage in favoritism and fraud within the scope allowed by the rules.
For example, Athena led her family's knights to enter and exit the territory of the Holy Light Religion openly, and Sofia used the power of the Holy Light Religion to turn her family from a baron to a viscount.
So as long as the price is right, Lorne doesn't believe Sophia will reject his offer.
"Your Excellency, Bishop, you have also seen that the area of this grassland is too vast for me.
With the strength of my Fast family, it is difficult to take care of it.
Even if the Stany family and the Baker family join in the future, there will still be There’s a lot of open space.”
Territory is always the most exciting thing for nobles.
When Lorne said this, Sophia thought that Lorne was planning to give away a piece of territory.
She had long heard that Baron Fast had given away two pieces of territory.
If Lorne planned to give them a piece of territory to the Freeman family, then Sophia thought she might as well listen to what Lorne was planning.
But in a short time, Lorne didn't want to squander the territory on the grassland.
He said this just to arouse Sophia's interest.
The key bargaining chip is the mineral deposits and other precious resources on the grassland that he has no time to take into account.
"The place is too big to take care of many things, so I plan to contract some resources such as mineral deposits."
Worried that Sophia didn't understand what contracting meant, Lorne paused and continued, "It means leasing, of course. , in terms of safety, the Fast family can guarantee it, and the price can be negotiated as long as the Freeman family is willing."
It would not be in line with the style of a beast to give it directly, but it might be considered if Sophia could attach it to something else, such as an attractive body.
Even when they were talking about business, Lorne was still distracted.
But who makes women like Sophia his favorite type?
A woman as blooming as a flower.
Fortunately, Sophia has the identity of a bishop, otherwise she would never be able to leave the grassland smoothly when she is targeted.
Sophia, who was thinking about "Contractor", didn't notice Lorne's evil eyes.
Instead, she was very interested in the novel words Lorne said from time to time, but soon the woman's brows frowned together.
"Does Baron Fast want to use my Freeman family to develop the grassland for you?"
"How can you say it's for me?

The Freeman family only needs to pay a few gold coins to get a lot of resource wealth.
This is a sure-profit deal.
Your Excellency, on loan" Sophia was dissatisfied because of the word "rent".
When she heard Lorne talk about it again, she immediately interrupted: "Don't the meaning of lease be to return it to your Fast family in the future?
Isn't this a way to help you Lorne?"
baron ster develops territory And you actually asked me for gold coins.
Your Excellency the Baron's calculations are too precise
.
"
To be fair, paying a small amount of gold coins to occupy an underground mine is definitely a profitable business.
But the concepts and productivity of the other world are definitely not as good as modern times.
The rental method will not only make them worried, but it is also not in line with the values of this world.
What's more, Sophia believed that Lorne was here to bribe her, but the bastard in front of her actually just wanted to take advantage of her.
If she accepts this kind of business, how can she, a bishop, do anything in the future?
"Your Excellency, Bishop, please listen to me.
I promise that I will never let the Freeman family suffer any losses."
Originally, Lorne wanted to please Sophia, but judging from Sophia's appearance, this task seemed a bit complicated.
Difficulty, especially when the beast is unwilling to give up profits.
After changing his initial greedy thoughts, Lorne continued: "Ten thousand gold coins per year, I guarantee that as long as I, Lorne Fast, am here, this agreement between the Fast family and the Freeman family will not be cancelled. ” It’s only ten thousand a year, which is already the lowest price Lorne expected.
If it were another family, it would be at least three or four times as much.
And this agreement will not change as long as Lorne lives.
Lorne didn't believe Sophia would refuse such a good offer.
But when Lorne first made the suggestion, Sophia had preconceived the idea that it was a piece of land.
Now, no matter how favorable Lorne was, its value could not be more than a piece of territory.
So Baron Fast's suggestion still failed to satisfy Sophia, but instead of rejecting him face to face, the woman became more concerned about Lorne's purpose in trying to please her.
Only by knowing the other party's purpose can we bargain better and pay more.
Just as Lorne believed, Sophia, who became the bishop of the Holy Light Church, did not forget her aristocratic nature because of her status as a clergyman
