Chapter 961 Hidden Rules
Liszt lavished rewards and seemed to have lost a lot, but in fact, he completely tied the Blue Star Federation Dark Faction to his own chariot.
And the rewards he chooses are purposeful.
For example, the five swordsmith slaves given to Li Yifei.
Even if it is not the secret of an advanced knight, the swordsmith can be considered to have come into contact with the extraordinary realm.
Mastering the swordsmith means that the Blue Star Li family has made a breakthrough in the extraordinary field.
This point is far more important than other things, at least to the Li family.
Li Yifei tried to give him a reward, but the old guys in the Li family were not vegetarians, and they immediately grasped the key point.
"I will give you the title of Baron and the back cover. The swordsmith must be given to the family."
The elders of the Li family directly gave away most of the rewards. In terms of value alone, Li Yifei took a big advantage.
However, in the long run, both the title and the territory will be in Li Yifei's name. As long as he becomes stronger, he will get it back sooner or later.
This is determined by the legal system of the Dark Empire, and it will not change just because the Li family wants to.
But the swordsmith is different. This is the key to the extraordinary field. The Li family has it completely in their hands and has even developed in depth in this subdivision.
Therefore, Li Yifei was very depressed, and he also fell in love with the swordsmith.
"The title and the right to use the territory belong to the family. I want the swordsmith."
"Impossible, Li Yifei... don't play tricks on us. You know that this time you have taken advantage of the family. We don't need you to pay any price, but you can't control the swordsmith."
The resolute attitude of the elders of the Li family silenced Li Yifei.
This is the disadvantage of a consortium-type family. First, the interests of the consortium must be guaranteed, and then they can take action.
After iterative inheritance, the consortium's equity is dispersed and control rights are jointly held by some people.
This model has its own reasons, and it has also allowed the Li family to grow and develop, but now... Li Yifei must bear the backlash brought about by this system.
He knew that if the family didn't know the value of the swordsmith, he might still be able to succeed in stealing the chicken.
But now that the family has grasped the key point, it is useless to say anything else.
And it's not without gain. At least he can control the title and territory legitimately.
Of course, his interests in the family will not be affected, and he can even enjoy the benefits of the swordsmith's output.
"Okay, I accept the family's offer, but I ask for control over a portion of the swordsmith's products and the number of apprenticeships." Li Yifei took the opportunity to bargain.
The general trend is irreversible, but small details can be negotiated.
Rather than causing trouble and causing both sides to lose, this condition is acceptable to everyone.
After a simple negotiation, the Li family's board of directors gave a reply: "Yes, the ten percent share is limited to these five swordsmiths, plus an apprenticeship led by the swordsmith. The family will treat you well. I hope Don't be resentful."
Everyone in the Li family knows the current situation. With the dispersion of titles, the family will inevitably split, but at least they will maintain the family structure and work together as a team.
Li Yifei agrees with this point. The Li family is indeed very generous. Whether it is a title or a territory, it is an extremely rich net worth for anyone.
The Li family did not put forward any strings attached and supported him to become the noble lord of the Dark Empire. It can be said that they did their best.
This kind of magnanimity is beyond reproach.
This is the survival rule of the Li family. When others seek titles, he will also help them.
After the peaceful negotiation ended, Li Yifei sat depressed for a long time.
Although the gain was great, the loss was also not small. He only hoped that he would not regret it in the future.
Depressed Li Yifei was a little absent-minded during training the next day.
At night, he asked Leon out.
Although one of them is the deputy leader of the knight order and the other is a knight apprentice, it is not against the rules to mix together.
In terms of status, both of them are barons, and one has a shallow foundation, and the other is a strong foreign dragon, which complements each other perfectly.
The more contact you have, the more friendship you will naturally develop.
Li Yifei told everything about the situation he encountered, but Leon had a strange expression.
"Your Li family is so generous." Leon took a deep breath and almost shed tears of envy.
"It's very generous, but those old guys are too evil-minded. I originally wanted to stay silent." Li Yifei didn't hear the implication of Lyon's words.
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Leon simply made it clear and said: "You can help me ask your family how many swordsmiths can be exchanged for a real baron. I am willing to trade at a premium."
Lyon is very poor, so poor that he cannot afford to buy property.
But if you really want to make money, there are plenty of ways.
A baron, the deputy head of a Duke's Knights, has many ways of 'borrowing money'.
If the Li family was really stupid and agreed to trade with him, he would be able to get dozens of swordsmiths for them overnight.
Lyon still has this kind of confidence.
When Li Yifei heard it, he tasted it and became energetic: "Boss, bring two bottles of the most expensive wine."
Then, he turned to look at Leon: "I'll treat you tonight, it's enough."
Of course Leon understood what he meant, coughed and whispered: "You definitely took advantage of me this time.
According to my understanding of the empire, high-end resources are generally only circulated through special channels. Those who receive such rewards may soon be released.
A baron can get a reward, and at the very least a viscount can buy it with money. "
In the final analysis, it is still a question of identity.
Since Lister rewarded the swordsmith to Li Yifei, it means that his identity is enough to hold such a thing.
Even if it is an exception, the viscount is qualified.
And being able to make an exception once means that other barons also have the opportunity to get it, it's nothing more than paying a price.
That's why Leon dared to say that he could get the swordsmith.
If it doesn't work, he can be a middleman, find Dust, find Count Simon, or even directly find the Duke.
If there is really a fool who uses the title and fiefdom to exchange for the swordsmith, they can laugh their teeth off.
Li Yifei was depressed, that's because he didn't understand the unspoken rules of the Dark Empire.
After saying this, Li Yifei felt much more comfortable, it turned out that he was taking advantage.
"Bring the wine, bring ten more bottles." Li Yifei said generously.
Leon was so scared that he waved his hands quickly: "If you can't finish it, you can't finish it, don't drink so much."
"If you can't finish it, pack it up and take it away. "Li Yifei was full of the air of a local tyrant.
Leon was stunned. He might never be as generous as Li Yifei in his life.
After a while of changing his expression, Leon whispered: "Send me ten boxes of this wine, and I will give you another idea."
