Chapter 158: The Earl's End
The dust that Erica turned into was collected by the panda. As a demon contractor, even though her corpse has been turned into ashes, it still contains terrifying evil power. It needs to be purified before it can be buried in the ground.
Just as the panda was disposing of the ashes, Wu Mian walked up to Count Tarahan.
"Do you have any last words to say?" he said straight to the point.
The count didn't mean to be surprised or scared. The attitude of the adventurers was already clear in the conversation with Erica just now, so he wasn't surprised at all.
"I want to negotiate a deal with you, too." He even smiled and said, "To be more precise, a deal with you. Your Excellency Eric."
Wu Mian was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Deal? Is there any deal to discuss between us?"
"Of course there is," said the Count. "I know you people don't care about money, power and treasure, but there are two things that you should be somewhat interested in."
"Two pieces?" Wu Mian was even more surprised, "What is it?"
"First of all, it's the territory," the earl said. "The entire Earl of Tarakhan, the most powerful territory among the local nobles in the kingdom. You guys will be somewhat interested, right?"
Sleepless nodded, of course they were interested.
"However, territories cannot be given privately," he said. "If you're trying to use the 'giving territory' as an excuse to delay time, you're doing it wrong!"
"Since I said that I want to trade the territory, of course there is a very appropriate way." The count smiled slightly, "This involves the second thing-beauty."
The transmigrators were stunned, and many people with flexible brains had already vaguely guessed a few points.
"My daughter, Anna Talahan, is only fifteen years old this year, but she is already a first-class beauty," said the count. "My lord Eric, if you wish, I want her to marry you, Please, as your son-in-law, inherit my territory."
Sleepless stunned.
He never imagined that the Count would make such a suggestion.
At this time, the chat channel has been fried.
[Panda: Congratulations, congratulations! 】
[Sanyu Wumengsheng: Yes, congratulations on Wusian's release from the list! 】
[Sword Thirteen: Hello, Lord Wusleep. 】
[One eagle, two Fuji and three eggplants: Brother Wumian, is this a marriage? 】
【Bubble Seed Bath: Who can tell me what happened? Why did I just sleep for a while, and I'm about to get married and be a lord without sleep? 】
[Sword Thirteen: Slaughter! Fifteen years old! Underage! Without sleep, beware of the highest death penalty for three years starting! 】
[Horus: Damn it! What the hell! What the hell! Jiangshan beauties are packaged and delivered. Where are you, Long Aotian, Wumian? 】
【Yunero: Come on! 】
[Harmony: This is better than the best situation we imagined...]
[Changsun Wu: Did I see the plot of some old-fashioned story? 】
[Long Biao: It just so happened that you got married and had a child and changed your surname to Loka. The two things were done together. 】
[Xu Xiansen next door to you: Why not me! It doesn't make sense! I look better than him! 】
...
All kinds of words, blessings, complaints, sighs, envy, jealousy, and hatred, all gathered together in a mess, and it was like swiping the screen for a while.
These messy speeches also awakened Wusian from the daze. He looked at the count in shock, not understanding what the count meant.
"...what do you want to trade with me?" he asked after a while.
The count smiled and shook his head: "As long as you agree to my conditions, the deal is complete."
"...I'm a little confused right now, please clarify."
The Earl who had the upper hand smiled and looked at Wu Mian, and said, "According to the practice of various countries, collusion with demons is the crime of annihilation. You must know this, right?"
Sleepless nodded.
"This crime of killing the family includes the son-in-law."
Wu Mian was stunned for a moment, and finally came to a realization.
If he marries Anna Tara Khan, then the Tara Khan family cannot be exposed for colluding with demons - because it will shoot yourself in the foot, no, shoot yourself in the head, really death.
So, as long as he marries Anna, the Tarakhan family doesn't have to worry about the problem of "colluding with demons".
Thinking of this, Wu Mian said solemnly: "You don't have to do this, we won't make this public at all - we don't want to see the Tarakhan family be wiped out."
"But I want to be more secure," said the Count. "And my daughter Anna, she is beautiful, I can guarantee that."
Of course Wumian knew that Anna was a beautiful woman, but the problem was... He hesitated for a moment and said, "For marriage, we still need to consider the opinions of both men and women..."
"You don't have to worry about Anna's opinion. She is a very simple girl. As long as I tell her what happened, she will naturally understand what I mean and accept this arrangement."
Wu Mian looked at his smile, and his heart was full of doubts.
He absolutely did not believe that the Earl would be so kind and give him the territory and his daughter for nothing.
Although the Count's reasons did make sense, he just didn't believe it.
This is impossible! Count is not such a person at all!
Even if death is imminent, this old fox will only think about how to drag others to the burial, and will never want to win something with others.
……win-win? The families who have been killed by him over the years and the innocent dead who have been sacrificed by him are the best evidence!
When a man is about to die, his words are good; when a bird is about to die, his chirping is also mourning—what a good man made up for his own comfort! A wicked guy like the Earl, even if he was about to die, would only think of harming people!
He thought hard in his heart, but he couldn't figure out where the earl's trap was buried.
[Sleepless night: Help me think about it, what might the earl think of to trick me? 】
[Panda: I think you think too much, he is like this, how can he cheat you? 】
[Horus: Bitch is hypocritical! 】
[Yunero: Top! 】
[Changsun Wu: You are phobia before marriage. 】
[Harmony: You are also justified in worrying, this is really not the style of Earl Tarakhan. 】
[Tiger: This old man has done bad things all his life, and he will change it when he dies? impossible! 】
[Sanyu Wumengsheng: If you think he's trying to trick you, then I'll kill him with a knife now, no matter what he thinks, in short, we'll do it according to our own plan, just ignore him. 】
Wu Mian's heart suddenly opened up, and a smile appeared on his face.
Sanyu was right, no matter what the earl said, in short, he just followed the previous plan.
Those who are hooked are all greedy fish. As long as he is not greedy, even if the earl has some conspiracy, what can he do to him?
Seeing his smile, the count also smiled: "Then, let's do it like this. I'll write you a letter, and you can just give it to Anna in the future."
Wu Mian nodded, so the count wrote a letter and handed it to him.
Then, the earl wiped his neck with a knife and died very simply.
Looking at his corpse, Wu Mian sneered a few times, didn't even look at the letter, and directly raised a flame in his hand, burning the letter to ashes.
"No matter what tricks you want to play, I won't take it." He said, "Anna is indeed a beauty, but I'm not someone who can't move when she sees a beauty!"
