    Chapter 271 Acquaintances Generally speaking, the mission information in the mission hall will be kept confidential. It is difficult for ordinary people to know which mission is completed by which person. However, territory missions are different. After all, who is the lord cannot be kept secret for long.  , and before officially owning the territory and becoming a lord, a canonization ceremony needs to be performed in the Square of the Four Gods in full view of the public, so it cannot be hidden from anyone.  When Aiwen rushed to the mission hall, seven of the eight pieces of territory hanging on the mission window to be auctioned had already been taken down. Apparently they had an owner. As the last piece of territory that had been developed and matured, there was a fierce competition on the scene.  It became very popular, and many demons even shouted out the price in the mission hall, looking like they had a lot of money.  Having passed the mission hall many times, Ivan was already familiar with the noisy scene in front of him. He looked around in the mission hall with some boredom, waiting for the confirmation of the ownership of the last territory before the lord's canonization ceremony officially began.  Suddenly, Ai Wen's expression was startled. Among the group of bidders sputtering with foam at the mouth, he saw the figure of a bald man who was particularly fierce in bidding and very familiar. He could meet an acquaintance in the Devil's Castle, but Ai Wen  It was something Wen had never thought about, but if this bald man was here, then was the person who was almost inseparable from him also here?  Whatever you are afraid of will come.  A faint fragrance floated, and a figure wrapped in a mage's robe suddenly came to Ivan. He stretched out his hand to lift the brim of his hat, paused for a moment, and then quickly put it down, but Ivan had already seen clearly in that startling glance.  Under the brim of the hat, that stunningly beautiful face appeared.  "I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here." Joanna's happy voice sounded from under the mage's muffled hood. "And we're not enemies. It's great." "I'm really lucky. I didn't expect to meet you here."  "When Ivan heard this, he was also very emotional. In his memory, when he left Bone Cage City, it seemed that Joanna happened to encounter someone from the Skiben family seizing power.  It is for this reason that Ivan has never doubted whether Joanna played any negative role in his being sent to the Demon Castle.  Theoretically, without Joanna's acquiescence, Aiwen could not have been thrown out as a sacrificial pawn, but in that case, all of Joanna's energy should be busy dealing with the family's visitors, and it is unlikely that she would have the energy to care about Aiwen.  Wen's matter, so the matter was more likely to be a decision made by other forces in Bone Prison City while she was not paying attention to others.  Please familiarize yourself with the domain name. Therefore, Alvin has no hatred for the reunion with Joanna. He just has some subconscious scruples and doesn't want to deal with her. But since they have met, it is of course a reunion of old friends. All the things in the past  I forgot all about it and could only stay together and lament the past.  Now Ivan¡¯s strength is still very weak in the entire Demon Castle, but both his own strength and the troops in his hands have given him enough confidence to be on an equal footing with Johanna, who he used to look up to.  Although Joanna knew everything about what she had done, she still acted like a close friend at the moment. After briefly talking for a while about the secret gossip of some big figures in Bone Cage City in the past, she slowly turned the topic to the present day.  situation.  "This time when I came to Demon God's Castle, I was ready to completely break away from my family and stand on my own in this brand new place. I also have to thank the Demon God's Castle for the frequent wars, which actually allowed me to easily get a piece of territory as my new territory."  Joanna turned her eyes to Kido, who was blushing and thick-necked while arguing with others. Apart from emotion, there was no other emotion in her tone.  "Don't say that, Miss Joanna, although there is a lot of territory for sale here in Demon Castle, but there is no money and no military merit, it can only be seen and cannot be touched. Not everyone is like you, with a lot of money in your hands.  "Ivan heard that Joanna's tone was relaxed, as if she didn't take the guys who were competing with Quito into consideration, and he couldn't help but feel a sour taste in his heart.  "Look what you said, Master Ivan, when you were in Bone Prison City, your methods of making money were no worse than mine." Joanna smiled slightly and said, "Even if you don't accumulate enough in a short period of time, you should be able to easily get a piece of knighthood."  "Yeah." Ivan was secretly shocked. This female demon investigated him very clearly. But if he was still in Bone Prison City, Ivan might be frightened because he knew that Joanna knew so clearly about his net worth, but in Demon Castle,  He was only slightly surprised. After all, with his little wealth, he was so much better than him. There was really no need to worry.  "It's not as simple as you said. Although I have some savings, now I have no income. I have an additional army at my disposal. I can eat, drink, train, use weapons and equipment, andLand and so on all cost money. If I exchange all my property for a piece of useless knighthood, I'm afraid that before my team reaches the territory, they will start mutiny because of lack of pay." Ivan was very worried.  It was a natural change with a sad expression. ¡°Hahaha, so you still have a team?  "Josanna couldn't hide her surprise in her laughter. In order to obtain the title of aristocrat, she took Kido and several other cronies into a support team. Under the dual offensive of money and beauty, she took control of the team.  As a result, she didn't wait long before she arrived at the Demon Castle. After that, because of these noble titles, she almost got trapped in the Demon Castle's army. However, there were only a few warriors at her disposal.  . Listening to Aiwen's tone, he clearly has a title of nobility, but even with the title of nobility, he can still retain a troop from the Demon Castle's military headquarters?  Some people underestimated this little guy. "You still have an army in your hands?"  That's great. Sister, I just don't have enough manpower, and I don't feel at ease with these neurotic guys here. How about we cooperate again. After I get the territory, you guard it for me, and I pay for everything in the team for you.  What do you think about paying you an additional one thousand gold coins per month for expenses?  "Josanna suggested to Alvin. "Help you guard the territory?  Sorry, I have no idea about this.  "When Ivan heard this, he shook his head and chose to refuse immediately. It wasn't that Ivan had any doubts about whether Joanna could obtain this last piece of mature baron territory, but he didn't want to step into the place that could be reached at any time.  "Why, we have cooperated for a long time, you should believe in my sincerity." Joanna was a little surprised. She never thought that Ivan would still offer such good conditions.  Refuse. "Because this is not in line with the plan I have set. The troops in my hands are limited and cannot support two operations at the same time. Therefore, I can only say sorry for your suggestion.  "Ai Wen said simply. "Is that so?  "Josanna sounded very regretful. "It's a good thing that you have your own plan, but it's not good news for me. So can't you help me guard for a while before I form my own army of confidants?  "I'm sorry." Ivan thought about it carefully and shook his head. "Forget it, it seems I can only hire some more lone mercenaries to help me last for a while," Johanna sighed. Ivan nodded in understanding.  Although the strength of lone mercenaries is low, the advantage is that unlike mercenary groups, they have a unified command core. No matter how many they are, if they are well controlled, there will be no betrayal because the master is weak and the servant is strong.  After rejecting Joanna's invitation, even though Alvin knew that she had already had an alternative plan in mind, he still felt a little regretful. After thinking about it, he asked as a reminder, "Miss Joanna, why do you want to compete for this barony? Please forgive me."  , this territory is located in the border area, and both the enemy and us must know that the military power of this territory has just been changed, and the military strength of this territory is at its most vulnerable. Once a war breaks out, it will easily become the target of the enemy's first wave of attacks. Choose this  The risk of losing territory is too great.  " "Haha, Master Ai Wen, thank you for the reminder, but only high risks will lead to high returns. Compared with the returns, that little risk is nothing at all.  "Josanna smiled softly and said, "Besides, as long as I'm safe, as long as I'm safe, it doesn't matter if the frontline territory is destroyed, I won't lose a hair." "High returns? It's too late for Alvin to pay for those who are destined to be unlucky.  The dead lone mercenaries mourned in silence, and his heart was suddenly lifted by these words. Although it is said that steady flow is the normal state of business operations, what the people like to see more is the sudden wealth.  After opening a tavern in Demon God's Castle, he took the time every day to carry the remaining 10,000 gold coins in his pocket, looking for businesses where he could make a fortune. Unfortunately, the evil situation in Demon God's Castle caused the business here to develop abnormally.  , except for the arms business, almost nothing is on the table, but the arms business is obviously not something that Ivan can do with just 10,000 gold coins, so these days, Ivan has almost nothing to gain. ¡°Over there on the front line,  Will there be any profitable business?  "Aiwen asked as if talking to himself, "Isn't it smuggling again?  "Although smuggling is profitable, this time, I'm not powerful enough to bring down the devil's enemies, humans." Joanna didn't know whether to regret or sigh and said, "I just want to use that territory to open an insurance company on the front line."  It's just a bank.  "Insurance? Selling insurance? It is indeed a very profitable business, Alvin can't help but think"??Ask Joanna, eldest sister, have you also traveled through time?
