In the Lord's Castle of White Wolf City, the banquet of the northwest nobles has finally ended. Most of the nobles are still unfinished. Even if they have to gather early tomorrow morning to start a war against the Kirislav camp, they still run to the left and right. Went to various pubs and continued to discuss business with representatives of chambers of commerce in various places.
At this banquet, several of Lant's main agents were present. Even Jenny Galloping Horse, who was unable to appear in person, entrusted an elf representative to come over. It can be said that the Earl's vassals took advantage of his absence to Orders that have been negotiated for decades.
"Now our number of cargo ships has to increase again. I'm afraid we need to order at least 50 cargo ships from Fiat to meet the current trade volume!"
Business development has entered a new stage, and the pressure has come to the two consuls, Xiao Hongque and Yu Ling. Yu Ling is now holding a large pile of reports and complaining to Lant and Xiao Hongque.
"I'm afraid 50 is not enough. I suggest 200 directly, and also expand the transportation terminals in several major cities." Little Red Bird calmly analyzed.
"According to the current intelligence, it is impossible for us to spend too much time with the Sixth Prince. However, a war is likely to break out in the future at Benma Lake and Luoyue Lake in the north!"
The little cardinal's reminder made Lant notice his neglect of the north: "Yes, there is also the north. Things have been so intensive recently. I almost forgot to install a magic furnace in the North 5 Castle. Maybe I need to install it in the north. A portal is also built there..."
"Not only North 5, the core areas of the Benma branches you requested have also been basically completed. Each core area is built according to a small city-state. Each branch will graze around the core area. The management of the core area Divided into two parts: the barbarian nobles and those stationed in Yeqi City, one camp involves a magic furnace, a set of priests, mages, and at least one fire elf, as well as an entire management team."
"In addition to the barbarians, several camps of the wolf barbarians in the Frostwolf Forest and the three camps of the Galloping Horse Baron in the great forest also need to be renovated and expanded." Yu Ling took out another list and began to read it one by one, " You also agreed to the construction of the city near three magic furnaces in the Imperial Capital, and the installation of at least 12 magic furnaces in the Tower of Purity, 3 other families, 4 legends from the Magic Academy, and at least 12 magic furnaces in Red Dragon Rock and the Holy City of the Temple Alliance."
"Not only that, the Tower of Purity, the Tower of Gyeonggi, the Baixiao Family and the Southern Kingdom are all negotiating with us about enrollment plans for the next batch of students. In addition, the elven clans from various places have sent more than 200 magic trees waiting to enter Princess Halkara. temple, and there are 20 clans who hope that she can go to the local area to assist in the battle..."
"The Imperial Capital Finance Department is also waiting for you. Their bill of 2 million gold coins is being checked by someone. It may be increased to 3 million after verification."
"Uh..." At this moment, Lant really wanted to sneak Fiat Mercedes over and establish him as the prince to supervise the country, and then go to Baishan Island to fight and hide away.
"So... do you still need me to remind you to read the latest staff briefing? Many nobles are waiting for your signature..."
The three of them walked to the door of the lord's room talking and laughing. Little Red Bird was stunned for a moment, then pulled Yu Ling and said, "Let's go and find Wendy. She just said she had a new inspiration."
"Wendy has a new idea?" Lant's head was full of bills now, and he couldn't understand the look in the little cardinal's hand. He just said something unclear, "Why didn't I know?"
After pushing open the door, Lant noticed something was wrong. The magic network in the room had obvious fluctuations. When he walked to the bedroom door, he saw a hooded woman sitting on his bed.
"Hello, Mr. Lant, I have the temerity to disturb you!"
The woman stood up and walked beside the bed, lifting her white hat with both hands, revealing her light blond hair and delicate face. Under her sharp eyebrows, there was a pair of purple eyes, staring closely at Lant.
"Your... name is Nightingale?" Lant blurted out.
"Well, it seems that adults know so many girls!" The girl shook her head, revealing her swan-like neck, "My name is Luwinika, you can also call me Magic Network Walker."
Luwinika stood up gently and disappeared into the magic net.
Lant could feel her coming to his side, and sure enough the next second, the woman appeared behind his ear.
"Sir, I come here with no ill intentions. I want to discuss a business deal with you."
Rant turned his head and smiled: "Tell me about it."
"I want to ask you about a price to buy the territory to the east."
"Buy it?"
"Yes, I know that the reason why you are preparing to go to war with Prince Durosun is that he has detained your earl in name." Luwinika turned around and walked to the door, lightly touching the hanging magic net sword. But his hand immediately retracted.
"However, I know that it is just a cover. Your real idea is to clear out the Kirislav camp so that your border can be completely connected to the Frostwolf Forest."
Lant nodded imperceptibly, acquiescing to the woman's words.
"So, I want to buy that camp from you. I can offer you a price that is acceptable to you. In the future, that camp will also be nominally under the control of Yeqi City, and I only hope that the Sixth Prince can actually control it."
Rant watched the woman face him again before saying, "Are you... a descendant of the demon clan?"
Luwinika admitted generously: "Yes, my sisters and I have been called witches. Only the sixth prince in the world is willing to take us in. I want to do something for him."
"Unfortunately," Lant shrugged, "No matter what price you offer, I won't agree to it."
"First of all, I just want that camp to disappear. The Count's detention is indeed just a reason, but this reason is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don't want to miss it." Watching Luwinika's face gradually cool down, Lant continued to tell his reasons.
"You people can't influence the will of Kirislav and the Dragon Kingdom. You said you can make that place belong to me openly, but in fact you can't do it at all. You said you can give me a sum of gold coins, but I have no idea about the gold coins. What an interest.”
Lant looked at the woman and said word by word: "What I want is to disappear there, it doesn't matter who is there!"
"Sir, you'd better know..." Luwinika said through gritted teeth, "Since we can sneak into your room, we can also take your life!"
"Madam," Lant stretched his right hand into the air, "you'd better understand that just because you can slip into the Magic Network, it doesn't mean that the Magic Network welcomes you!"
With the flick of Rant's right hand, the Sword of the Magic Network appeared in his hand out of thin air. This sword was a treasure given to Lant by the Fairy Queen of the Magic Network. It symbolized Lant's identity as the favored one of the Magic Network. If you are in the magic net, you can summon it at any time.
