Chapter 130: You are so cruel

"Your name is Brooklyn?" Ethan sat on a chair, drinking coffee, and asked with his back to the troublemaker.

"Yes, Knight Ethan." Brooklyn replied: "Knight Ethan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

When Ethan heard the other party's address to himself, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Sure enough, you are a soldier. Other civilians call me Lord, but you call me Knight Ethan.

Obviously, you have seen knights a lot in your daily life, and you don't have a little awe in your heart.

"Nothing important." Ethan turned around, looked at Brooklyn, and said slowly: "A few days ago, the knight named Ericson came to me and said he wanted to introduce me to a talent.

I agreed without thinking.

But it's only been a few days, and I heard that you don't want to do it anymore. I think it's a pity.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force you.

Later, you will go to Andreev to settle the wages, and then pack up and leave my territory!

I wish you a bright future and a smooth journey."

When Brooklyn heard this, his face changed slightly, and he immediately replied: "It's not I'm the only one. "

Seeing the threat from the other party, Ethan sneered: "Oh! Are you saying that there are other people who don't want to do it?

That's a pity.

But you don't need to worry about these, just go and pay the bill with peace of mind.

I won't force others who don't want to do it.

I'll let Andreev announce it later. Anyone who doesn't want to do it can come to pay the wages immediately and leave. "

Seeing that Ethan was not threatened, Brooklyn's eyes twitched a little: "Knight Ethan, you don't even ask why we don't want to do it, and you want to drive us away?"

Ethan was speechless.

Damn, it's you who don't want to do it, how come I drive you away?

Although he thought so, Ethan didn't say it out loud.

Because Ethan noticed that this man had a strong desire for a pay raise, but he was a soldier, and he obviously couldn't stay long after sneaking into the fishing team.

Then such a strong desire for a pay raise would be very abnormal.

In other words, he was not fighting for the interests of himself, but for others.

This means that he had a premeditated plan.

Ethan wanted to see how much he knew, so he pretended to ask, "Oh! Then may I ask, why don't you want to do it?"

"We think ten silver coins are too little, we hope to add a little more." Brooklyn said flatteringly: "Knight Ethan, you are the lord, extremely noble, you should not care about this little money!"

Ethan listened to this inferior rhetoric, and he was really amused: "Who I am, whether I am noble or not, whether I care about this little money or not, it actually has nothing to do with you.

You may not know that ten silver coins a day is considered a high salary even in Maro City.

The weekly salary of a swordsmanship instructor is only about 80 silver coins.

In other words, your weekly salary is 10 silver coins less than that of a swordsmanship instructor.

However, you are right, fishing is indeed just a little money.

I only sell a cage of fish for 11 silver coins.

You salvage two or three hundred cages every day. According to your salary and the number of people, you are actually working for yourself."

"Do you think I will believe you?" Brooklyn rolled his eyes with disdain.

Ethan pretended not to see it and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not.

Because, this is the truth!

I have worked hard to give you a way out.

But if you can't understand me, I can't do anything."

"Nonsense!" Brooklyn was furious when he heard Ethan's shameless words: "You clearly sell each cage of fish for more than 40 silver coins, but you only give us 10 silver coins.

And you don't have the right to fish at all. In name, the fishing rights are in the hands of us fishermen.

But you do nothing and take the biggest share of the benefits.

How dare you say that you worked hard for us?"

Ethan deliberately lied with his eyes open in order to irritate the other party so that he could get some information from him.

Now I have a general understanding.

Ethan remembered that when he talked about fishing rights with General Sagra, there were few people around.

And what the high-level officials talked about could never be heard by the civilians below.

But this person even knew about the nominal fishing rights. It was obviously sent by the high-level officials of Baron Fortress.

As for the purpose, it is probably to fight for the interests of the northerners.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain.

Ethan even suspected that the senior executive was General Sagra himself.

With this suspicion, Ethan suddenly figured out many things.

"So, General Sagra was acting when he issued a fishing ban to himself?"

"Just waiting for me to give those northerners a raise?"

"How did he calculate that he would do this?"

"This is exaggerated!"

"And winning the fishing rights to the northerners is also one of his goals?"

"After winning the fishing rights, he has not officially approved the northerners to fish, but acquiesced, just to hang himself?"

"Then, he sent people to make trouble, just to fight for more benefits?"

"One link after another?"

"So, this General Sagra is not only not greedy, but also a good general who loves the people like his own children?"

Ethan thought of this and found it funny.

But his intuition told him that this might be the fact.

And if you want to confirm whether it is true, just cut the salary of those fishermen, and it will be clear at a glance.

However, Ethan is not planning to conduct a salary reduction experiment because it is meaningless.

Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, Ethan had no time to bother with a small fry, so he said, "Okay, go get your wages!

In addition, go back and tell the knight who introduced you.

If he dares to be smart again, I will cut off this fishing industry.

Also, there is always a famous saying in the North.

Adults must pay the price for their mistakes.

As a punishment for your troublemaking, all those who made trouble with you will have their wages reduced by half within a month.

I hope you will be satisfied.

Now, you can get out."

Brooklyn's face changed drastically when he heard it: "How dare you, you..."

"Shut up!" Ethan interrupted him rudely before he could finish.

Ethan raised his chin slightly and stared at Brooklyn with cold eyes: "I told you to get out, did you hear me!"

Being stared at by Ethan's cold eyes, Brooklyn's hair stood up all over his body.

At that moment, the cloud of death came over his heart.

He believed that if he said one more word or did not do what the other party said, he would be beheaded immediately.

The other party was serious.

Brooklyn didn't dare to say another word, and walked out of the door with his head down.

After the people left, Ethan couldn't help but spit.

"What kind of person dares to talk to me like that."

"If this wasn't the Northland, you would have dared to question me, and I would have made you lose your head before you even said a word."

"And..."

"Okay! General Sagra, you're plotting against me, right!"

"You even sent people to cause trouble and make things difficult for me."

"Just wait, when my other industries start up, the first thing I'll do is to stop fishing, and then we'll see who's going to beg who?"

...

Ethan was only busy cursing there, but he didn't notice that his way of thinking about things had changed dramatically...
