Owen then met with the Corrett family and the Pearl family.It is worth mentioning that the representative of the Corette family is the Countess Corret.When she learned that her husband was dead and her son was going crazy, her face became extremely gloomy, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.Fortunately, the Countess of Corret, knowing that she was on the losing side, did not risk any dangerous moves.The body of the Count of Corette was allowed to be transported back at half of the Count's "ransom", and the "ransom" of the mad son was similarly discounted.In any case, he is a son, and even if he is already crazy, the countess is still unwilling to give up on him.As for the group of noble family members attached to Duke Eddie, Owen met them directly in the hall on the first floor and informed them of the conditions for ransom.At noon on the third day, Duke Eddy was taken out of the dungeon by soldiers and taken to the guillotine in the middle of the square.Obviously he was already dying, but he still didn't want to give up the faint hope of living, so he simply lay flat on the ground halfway, refusing to get up, like a little kid who was playing tricks.I had no choice but to gather several soldiers and drag him to the square.No matter how dyingly Duke Eddy struggled, he ended up guillotined.Ironically, this guillotine was originally built by Duke Eddie by paying a blacksmith to imitate the guillotine in the royal capital.When the meeting was first built, in order to test the sharpness of the knife, he sent some people who had committed petty theft to be executed, and watched several moments when people's heads fell to the ground in succession, and he was addicted.Unexpectedly, Duke Eddie would now be lucky enough to experience the taste of the guillotine, and the fear had already spread throughout his body.The executor read out the crime committed by Duke Eddie in public, and everyone below was talking about it."
What?!
Our lord has done any of these things?
”"I'm not surprised, we all know very well what bad things he has done before.""
In the early spring of this year, he still owes the Adventurer's Guild commission."
After reading it, the executor immediately ordered: "Execution of the death penalty!"
”"No !!"
Duke Eddie, whose neck was fixed by a wooden bar, let out an angry roar: "Marquis Eisen, you can't kill me!"
The king will not let you go, wait and see!!
”The soldier didn't care what Duke Eddie was calling, and swung his sword to cut the rope, and the knife above quickly fell.Out of fear of death, Duke Eddie finally showed a frightened expression, and as the head fell to the ground, the face was frozen.His head was then inserted into the top of a long wooden pole and stood in the square for a week.In the afternoon, Kuros came to the Lord's Castle again and brought the detailed list to Owen."
That's it, no problem, right?"
He asked.Taking the list, Owen looked at it, nodded and said, "No problem, so be it."
There aren't many artisans, so I hope you can gather them quickly, and I want them to go to Frontier Town as soon as possible. ”"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Kuros answered, "Then I can take my father with me, right?"
”"Yes."
Next, Kuros followed Owen into the dungeon and walked to the better-decorated cell.As soon as they saw Owen coming, the nobles stood up one after another, especially Duke Eddie's son, who came over eagerly, clutching the guardrail with both hands."
Marquis Eisen, what have you done to my father?
Why hasn't he come back until now?
”"Huh?
Didn't he tell you?
”Owen was slightly surprised, "Today is his execution day. ”"Execution?
What punishment?
”The son said urgently."
Of course it's a death sentence, his head is still standing in the square, do you want to see it?"
Owen said deliberately."
What?!
Ahh"Mother!"
The son was so frightened that he hurried over to check on the situation.Ignoring them for now, Owen turned to look at the other cell and instructed the guards, "Release Count Yum out." ”"Yes."
When the soldier took out the keychain to open the prison door, Owen said to the other nobles: "Don't worry, the ransom is coming, and you will be let out." ”Count Yum was soon released."
Father."
Seeing Count Yum's ruddy complexion, Kuros was relieved."
I'm here to pick you up.""
Kuros."
As soon as Count Yum came out of his cell, he asked, "How much ransom did you pay to ransom me?"
”"If there's anything, you can go back and talk about it slowly."
Owen turned to the side, smiled, raised his left hand slightly, and made a gesture of please."
Let's go, there's nothing to do in this dungeon."
As soon as the group left the dungeon, Owen received news of the arrival of the Countess of Corret, and had to order the soldiers to take Kuros and them to the castle gate.On the carriage back, Kuros replied to Count Yum about the ransom he had just cared about.After hearing this, Count Yum showed a puzzled expression."
Population?
What does Duke Eisen want so many people to do?
”"He said there was a shortage of manpower in Frontier Town."
Kuros replied.Count Yum also knew a little about the situation in Frontier Town, but he still couldn't figure it out."
Obviously they have taken the Dongsheng Fortress, why are they still sending people to the border town?
Why not hurry up and take control of the Eastrise Fortress?
”"He doesn't plan to stay in Dongsheng Fortress for a long time, and he is going to hand it over to me for safekeeping."

Kuros took the opportunity to mention the matter of the agent."
What?!"
Earl Yum's eyes widened suddenly, his expression of disbelief, and he asked, "The Dongsheng Fortress will be handed over to you to manage?"
You're not kidding me, are you?
”"Nope.The agency contract has been signed, and I will be in charge of the Dongsheng Fortress as an agent, and the Marquis of Eisen will leave for Frontier Town in a few days. ”Kuros didn't tell his father all of the conversation that day, and some of the contents were secrets between the two of them, which he couldn't reveal at this time.Receiving an affirmative reply, Count Yum raised his hand and rubbed his temples, deep in thought.After a while, he admonished, "Count Corrett has died, and his son Victor has gone mad, so he poses no danger to our family.Kuros, you'll have to watch out for the people of the Pearl family, they will definitely be jealous that we have secured the custody of the Eastrising Fortress. ”"Huh?"
Kuros was stunned, "Don't you have anything else to ask?"
”"Why do you ask so much?
It doesn't have much to do with us. ”Count Yum stroked his beard and said, "Since you have obtained the acting qualification of Dongsheng Fortress, let's make good use of this opportunity."
If done well, our Yum family can become the only big family in Dongsheng Fortress. ”"But in this way, we and the Marquis of Eisen are in the same boat, and the new king will not let us go easily, aren't you worried?""
Don't worry."
Count Yum's reply was decisive, "You haven't seen how Marquis Eisen's army crushed our army, and I don't think the army of the royal capital may be able to defeat that army. ”When he thought of that battle, Count Yum still had palpitations, the other party was too strong.It seemed that Count Yum had been very determined to side with Owen, and Koulos was happy to see this, and he could save time in persuading his father.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
