Silver Castle

Judging from the encounters in the previous life, this butler was neither humble nor overbearing to anyone except the Baron himself.

　　"Butler Shen, it's nice to meet you."

　　Wang Dong said with a smile, and exchanged greetings with Shen Fugui.

　　The same attitude of neither humble nor overbearing.

　　There was no arrogance of thinking that he was great, nor the humility of a newcomer.

　　Shen Fugui nodded imperceptibly, turned around and stretched out his hand, signaling Wang Dong to get in the car.

　　"In the near future, the alert level of the Baron Territory has been raised, and large flying units are prohibited from taking off, so you can only take the hovercraft for now. Please understand.

　　The Baron is waiting in the mansion to meet with His Excellency Wang Dong. If it is convenient, please get in the car."

　　Wang Dong nodded and got in the car without hesitation.

　　Shen Fugui then got on the same hovercraft with him.

　　Chen Shayi chose another car.

　　The decoration inside the car was much more luxurious than the so-called special car that Wang Dong had taken on the mining planet before.

　　After getting in the car, neither Wang Dong nor Shen Fugui spoke, and there was silence in the car.

　　Wang Dong first looked at the decoration inside the car naturally, then turned his eyes to the outside of the car, looking at the scenery outside the window leisurely.

　　"Sir Wang Dong doesn't seem to be nervous at all."

　　Shen Fugui was the first to break the silence.

　　His voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

　　"The initiative is not in my hands, so it's useless to be nervous."

　　Wang Dong smiled.

　　"Is there nothing Sir Wang Dong wants to know?"

　　Shen Fugui frowned slightly and asked.

　　"It is most important to be able to meet the baron himself and listen to his opinions. Before that, it is not necessarily a good thing to know some information too early."

　　Wang Dong pondered for a moment and answered.

　　"Sir Wang Dong's ideas are indeed interesting."

　　Shen Fugui's face, which had always been stern, showed a smile.

　　"I am just moving forward in the most cautious way. Try not to listen to unnecessary words, don't care about unnecessary things, and don't make unnecessary decisions."

　　Wang Dong said frankly.

　　"But Sir Wang Dong did a big thing not long ago, so why is that?"

　　Shen Fugui said with interest.

　　"That's what should be done, not at all redundant."

　　Wang Dong said confidently.

　　"Knight Shayi is right. In some ways, Lord Wang Dong is very similar to the young Baron."

　　Shen Fugui couldn't help but smile.

　　Wang Dong said modestly, "It's just a coincidence. I don't dare to compare myself with the Baron."

　　"You can do it. When the Baron was young, he was just as thick-skinned."

　　Shen Fugui said leisurely.

　　Wang Dong: ...

　　Stiffly pulling the corners of his mouth, Wang Dong forced a polite smile and continued to remain silent.

　　I'm not thick-skinned. You see, I'm so embarrassed that I can't even speak. How can I be thick-skinned?

　　Shen Fugui chuckled twice, not caring, and said to himself: "When the Baron was young, he often said that I mostly only told the truth, except for one sentence.

　　That is, the previous sentence.

　　In this way, twelve knights and five consultants were deceived, and finally after more than 20 years of development, the Black Stone Barony was established today.

Over the years, due to various reasons, the candidates for vassals in the barony have changed many times, and there are currently eight knights and three advisors left, as well as many local representatives.

Each of them has made great contributions to the baron.

　　Now that the baron is about to fall, some people can't sit still.

　　They think that the foundation of the baron is due to their efforts, so they should also have a say in the selection of the successor.

　　Sir Wang Dong, what do you think? "

　　What do you think?

　　Use your eyes to see. Wang Dong complained a little in his heart.

　　The old guy Shen Fugui asked such a sensitive question right at the beginning.

　　Some people may think that Shen Fugui is giving him an interview question in advance to test his background, or to give him a reminder, suggesting that the baron himself may ask similar questions.

　　But Wang Dong knew that this was not the case.

　　The character of this bad old man is different from that of a normal butler who is conscientious and devotes himself to serving the lord.

　　In his previous life, after the baron's death, Shen Fugui left the baron directly and went somewhere unidentified.

　　According to him, I have dedicated decades to the baron, that is... Because the baron is an interesting person, he is happy to do so.

　　The baron has passed away, and the other people in the baron's territory have nothing to do with him, and they are not interesting at all, so he will not accompany him.

　　This is a free and easy, or a little cold old man.

　　Therefore, Wang Dong did not intend to try to get along with him from the beginning.

　　Blindly showing goodwill will have little effect on this kind of old man.

　　With Wang Dong's current status, he does not have the capital to win him over.

　　Shen Fugui's question was simply to see Wang Dong's attitude towards these first-generation vassals.

　　After thinking about it, Wang Dong still replied: "This is a problem that His Excellency the Baron needs to consider. In my opinion, it is useless."

　　Although he did not intend to please him, there was no need to show it too obviously.

　　It was well-behaved, but it was indeed telling the truth.

　　Shen Fugui said inwardly: "Little fox."

　　But he did not bother to pester him any more.

　　After a while, it was Wang Dong's turn to ask: "The baron is in his prime, what kind of disease is it that is so serious? "

　　Shen Fugui's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "It is an infection of unknown microorganisms, which causes the body's functions to be continuously damaged. If it were not for the support of the Baron's own intermediate body-building skills, he would have died long ago..."

　　Wang Dong asked, "Is there no way to cure it? The Baron's family is in the capital star system, where there should be the best medical resources in the Bauhinia Kingdom."

　　"This is a microorganism that has never been discovered before and is quite rare. It is impossible for the kingdom's medical institutions to specially research corresponding therapeutic drugs for a rare microorganism."

　　Shen Fugui sneered.

　　No matter what era, the cost of drug research is always high.

　　In the absence of profitability, no capital will be invested.

　　"Is there some kind of universal drug that can produce an effect?"

　　Wang Dong pondered for a moment and said slowly.

　　"It is said that the Academy of Sciences of the Plantagenet Federation recently developed a universal immune agent that has a strong effect on various microbial infections. But this kind of laboratory product is expensive and there is no clear sales channel. The Baron has tried to send someone to communicate, but there has been no response yet. "

　　Shen Fugui said without hiding anything.

　　Wang Dong smiled.

　　Two months later, there was a response.

　　The other party asked for 10,000 source coins and did not guarantee the efficiency. It was obvious that they regarded the Black Stone Barony as a big fat sheep and were ready to fleece it to death.

　　In the eyes of many people in the Plantagenet Federation, the nobles of the Bauhinia Kingdom were just a group of country bumpkins with a lot of money and stupidity.

　　Of course, Wang Dong could not say what had not happened yet.

　　He just nodded and said, "I hope there will be good news. "

　　The speed of the hovercraft was very fast.

　　While they were talking, they had already arrived at their destination.

　　This was a real castle.

　　Wang Dong and others got off the car outside the gate.

　　The whole castle was silver-white, with towering walls, round pointed towers, exquisite windows, semicircular arches, low domes, and door frames that were raised layer by layer.

　　A large number of columns and arches of various shapes were used to achieve an aesthetic effect of solidity, balance, stability, and saturation of strength.

　　When Wang Dong and others arrived, the sun enveloped the castle, and the silver-white unknown material reflected a soft light, which made people feel refreshed without feeling dazzling.

　　This is the Silver Castle.
