Chapter 522: The Cunning Red Fox—Bewitching the Red Fox?

Verin took the trade agreement from Clever, looked at the quotation on it, looked calm, and then signed his name on the back.

"This trade agreement can continue as long as you don't regret it."

"As for the goods, I will send someone to pick them up. You don't have to worry about transportation."

"Thank you, Lord Verin." Clever respectfully thanked him with a grateful face.

Verin responded: "If you need help in your territory, you can go to an adventure group called Rose Flower in the provincial capital of Dani Province. They will provide you with some conveniences."

"Thank you for your help." Clever said with gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time felt lucky for his choice.

After the two talked for more than 20 minutes, they parted.

Shemia returned to Weilin, held his hand, and whispered: "Weilin, did you know? Viscount Clever's partner Anila is actually the daughter of a commoner he adopted when he was a child."

Verin said with some surprise: "It seems that Viscount Clever is still a very affectionate person."

Kyle, who was following Weilin, was also slightly interested. He raised his ears and listened carefully.

"I think so too." Shemia nodded in agreement and said, "During the conversation with her, I could feel her inner love for Viscount Clever, and she was willing to sacrifice her life for it."

"I originally thought this kind of thing only existed in story novels, but I didn't expect to see it today."

"There are many incredible things in this world. You may think that they are fictional stories, but maybe they are happening somewhere in the world." Weilin responded with a smile.

On the other side, Clover put his hand on his wife's waist, calming her somewhat anxious mood: "I'm sorry, maybe it's better for you to stay in the territory."

"It's okay, Lady Xemia is very friendly to me." Anila shook her head and said, "If I am sorry, it should be me. I'm sorry for not helping you in other ways."

"When I was young, without you, I might have died in the hands of my brother." Clever recalled the past, holding his wife in his arms, his tone full of memories, "All these years, if you hadn't been behind my back, I would have died." Sorting out government affairs and sorting out interpersonal relationships, I may still be a poor baron on the border, and it is more likely that I have perished in the first raid on the kingdom's border in the Gray Mansions Wasteland."

"To me, you are the best gift the goddess of life has given me."

"This, that...Clever, actually all of this is your efforts, I just played a supporting role."

Anila's voice became smaller and smaller, but Clever still heard his wife's voice in the noisy environment.

……

As noon approached, the originally noisy Alcia Palace gradually became quiet.

At this time, the nobles who came to participate in the trade event all turned their attention to the front of the hall, quietly waiting for the speech of Duke East's eldest grandson, Helder East Enrich.

I saw a young man in a light blue dress standing steadily on the one-meter-high stage. He always had a kind smile on his face, and his tone of voice was also extremely easy-going, which made many people present. The nobles all felt like a spring breeze and were particularly comfortable.

"I am very honored that you can be invited to attend this western trade event." Held's voice was clear and loud, spreading throughout the entire hall.

Then, he changed the topic: "As we all know, although the overall development level of our western region is slightly lower than that of the eastern and central regions, as long as we are led by leaders with noble character like you here, I believe it will usher in a prosperous future. New opportunities for development! “

After hearing this, Weilin stood relatively back and silently stared at Helder who was eloquent on the stage, and a faint good impression surged in his heart involuntarily.

However, unlike Weilin, Shermia, who was standing next to him, frowned unconsciously.

With her keen insight, she actually detected a trace of mysterious power in the voice of this cunning, fox-like man.

This power seems to have some special magic power that can easily increase others' favorability towards him.

As an arcanist who specializes in psychic magic, Shermia possesses extremely keen insight and perception.

At this moment, Xemia turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on her husband beside her.

He was listening attentively, with a serious look on his face.

However, what surprised Shermia was that the spell she cast on him had no response at all.

Obviously, Verin was not subjectively affected, all this was just the passive influence of Helder's voice.

With doubts, Shermia shifted her gaze to Kyle who was standing behind Verin.

She stared closely into Kyle's eyes and found that his eyes were always clear and bright, without any sign of being "bewitched".

At this moment, Kyle noticed Shemia's gaze, and he turned his head to look over, and their eyes met instantly.

As if he could read the worry in Xemia's eyes, Kyle shook his head gently, then turned his head to look at his lord, and reached out to pat his shoulder a few times.

In an instant, Weilin seemed to break free from a certain state, his original concentrated expression disappeared, and his eyes regained clarity.

Verin came back to his senses and looked at the eldest grandson of Duke of East on the stage, and couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment in his heart.

Just now, the Duke's eldest grandson made himself fall into it involuntarily with just a few words, and even had an impulse to agree with the other party's point of view.

This feeling made Verin deeply uneasy, and at the same time he gained a deeper understanding of his opponent's strength.

"My lord, do you need to remind Earl Russell?"

Hearing Kyle's voice in his heart, Verin looked to the left out of the corner of his eye and found Earl Russell not far away, nodding to Kyle.

"Everyone, there will be an internal auction at three o'clock in the afternoon. If you are interested, you can go to the left side hall of Alsia Palace to participate."

"I hope you can get what you want at this western trade event."

After speaking, Held returned the home court to everyone.

Some nobles showed strong interest in the internal auction and went straight to the side hall.

For this internal auction, if Earl Russell had reminded him before, Verin must have had a very strong interest, but now he just wants to stay away.

In addition, what he just said to Held made him feel very wary.

"Lord, according to my understanding, this kind of "bewitching" behavior contained in the voice should be an unconscious effect. In other words, this is not what Helder did intentionally." Kyle said through his heart. Tell Verin.

"This guy shouldn't be called a cunning red fox. I think it's more appropriate to call him a 'bewitching red fox.'" Weilin shook his head and complained in his mind.

In the following days, Verin took Shermia and Kyle to eat and drink, but all nobles who came to discuss business matters were declined.

Three days later, this grand western trade event finally came to an end. Weilin had no intention of lingering and led the crowd to leave immediately.
