You put down the body and stand up.

The "Breath of Life" ring, which can only be used once, should not be used at such a moment. Since it is not made by humans, it is not yet known whether it can be recharged for the number of uses.

Soon, a large group of people came over. After briefly asking about the situation, the businessmen of the treatment center carefully removed the body. The store will find a way to resurrect it. Obviously, you need to pay the resurrection fee in advance - most mages are wealthy.

, there should be no problem in repaying the debt. Some people are responsible for patrolling and guarding, looking for where this dead mage came from. Some people started to wash the floor, but fortunately the carpet has not been laid yet. A warm life is in your

forever.

Perhaps because you don't want to cause trouble, you sit in the reception room, holding the high-end black tea brought by Annette, admiring the beautiful decoration of your new home, and inspecting the busy figures of people cleaning and preparing refreshments. Image is very important for diplomacy.

Soon, as you expected, a messenger came to the Labyrinth Camp and asked to see the lord. He claimed to represent "Count Aneurin" from the west, one of the warlords in the war in the centaur's homeland.

The young man stands in front of you elegantly and salutes respectfully, but he can't hide his tired look. The Western Region is quite far away from here.

"Greetings to the nearest lord here, Count Aneurin sends his greetings." The messenger declined the offer to sit down and continued to explain his purpose, "My master has traveled a long distance and is very tired, and it is inconvenient to camp in the wilderness around him. I hope that

I beg for your permission to rest and recuperate in your territory."

You look at Hathaway,

The kingdom has a vast territory, and the general rule of the fiefdom is that the baron territory is a village, the viscount territory is a small town, the earl territory mostly owns a large-scale town and several surrounding villages, the marquis territory has several adjacent large towns and surrounding villages, and the duke territory has several adjacent large towns and surrounding villages.

It is equivalent to a small subsidiary country. Under normal circumstances, the prosperity and expansion of a settlement cannot be completed in one generation, so the size of the title and fiefdom is basically the same. The territory of the local old marquis is approximately equal to a continent or province, and is scattered with the western border.

The chaotic political situation usually has little friendship, and the two even deliberately avoid contact with each other to avoid being involved in the warlords' melee over there or the political infighting here.

This is the reason why the earl is unwilling to negotiate directly with the old marquis. Perhaps he has already negotiated with the old marquis but was rejected. The old marquis takes in a warlord, which is tantamount to offending all other warlords, and he is not stupid.

According to the map, the Earl of Aneurin entered the old Marquis' territory from the west, passing at least two towns and three villages along the way, which probably included the Silent Rain Swamp Territory. It seems that he failed to settle down successfully.

Hathaway asked the envoy: "It's hard to come all the way. Excuse me, how many people does the earl have with you?"

"About fifty cavalry, fifty infantry, twenty heavy soldiers, and twenty non-combatants. It is no exaggeration to say that my master is in very poor health and can no longer move forward. I have answered other questions before.

Lord, before you speak, please allow me to state in advance that it is impossible for your lordship to be separated from the army."

Snap, Hathaway's best option of "only letting the earl enter the city and stationing the army outside" was wiped out by the way.

You hinted that Hathaway should inquire about Count Aneurin's situation in as much detail as possible. Now that you have taken the initiative, you should make a decision before taking action.

Hathaway nodded and invited the envoy to sit down and talk slowly, but was declined again.

The envoy said respectfully: "To be honest, our territory was captured and we were defeated to this point. In fact, it doesn't need to be said by adults, you can see it. It was purely betrayed by villains that led us to where we are now. The territories of the four earls

Neighbors have always been at odds with each other and often fought wars. A while ago, one of them was at its peak and grew stronger, so the head of the family joined forces with the other two to encircle them. Originally, three versus one went smoothly, but we were also prepared for the sudden betrayal of our allies. Unexpectedly

It's still impossible to guard against it - at the moment when the joint attack was successful, we were busy fighting for the fruits of victory, but the two families quietly withdrew and turned around to join forces to sneak attack our territory."

"The son of the Earl who was guarding the house was also martyred. When we arrived, we saw his head hanging high on the top of the city."

son?

Perhaps out of a negotiating disadvantage, the envoy's attitude was very sincere: "The only descendant of the Earl. According to the survivors who escaped from the territory, a high-level mage from Helaran's old genus suddenly appeared out of thin air and slaughtered people. In the blink of an eye,

He took the earl's son hostage and waited for the two enemy armies to attack without even using a single soldier. We were defeated like a mountain." There were more druids and fewer mages in the western border, so countermeasures were insufficient.

Hathaway: "So, what does the earl want us to do?"

"The shelter of the city wall, the safe place to live."

"Don't you need us to provide troops and equipment for you to regain your territory?"

The envoy looked around: "This is the best, but after all, we need to use this treasure land to recuperate and recuperate before making long-term plans." If someone else had their territory taken away, they would definitely be eager to fight back and take back everything that once belonged to them, but

From the words of the messenger, I did not feel this kind of obsession or anger. Instead, I felt more discouraged.

"How long do you plan to stay here?"

"I... don't know... it's better to return to our territory as early as possible. During this period, we will buy food and supplies by ourselves and try not to cause trouble to the lord."

"What's the benefit?"

"Well?"

Hathaway reiterated: "We are not a "public travel station for warlords" here. Besides, you bring so many soldiers. I'm afraid you can't do it without causing trouble. The Marquis has never wanted to have close contact with the Western Region. You

The arrival of the epidemic makes it difficult for us to do so. If we provide shelter, then what benefit does it have for us?"

The messenger fell silent.

There was silence for a long time.

"The defeated army has no gold, silk or silver, no good soldiers or generals, and no good servants and beautiful families. All that is left is gratitude." In other words, there is no benefit at all, and it will only cause all kinds of difficulties at present.

The trouble is expected. No wonder several settlements along the way dare not leave the earl. He should not be involved in public or private matters. Hathaway was silent when she heard these words. She even wanted to pass you by and refuse directly. Throughout history, several

The decline of warlords and the rise and rise of several warlords come and go and have nothing to do with you.

Suddenly, the messenger took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hathaway.

"This is the letter of introduction we got from the local lord when we passed through the Silent Rain Swamp Territory. We said it would be passed on to you for your review." A letter that has not yet been opened.

Hathaway opened the letter and found that it was Melanie's handwriting inside, but there was nothing written except greetings and small talk. It was incomprehensible. She handed the letter to you: "...There is nothing useful...

…”

In your eyes, the content of the letter is psychedelically deformed, presenting another scene.

"Dear President:

The son of Earl Aneurin is also a very outstanding talent among the Western Warlords. I got news that after getting rid of the most powerful warlord, he will be the next one. Aneurin only has one heir and no successor. Originally, he was the next one.

According to my plan, when Earl Aneurin passes through the Silent Rain Marsh Territory, he will receive him warmly and help him regain everything he has lost. The important thing is that I will recommend Edward to be his adopted son. When Aneurin is alive,

Edward will become Viscount immediately, and after Aneurin's death, he can immediately ascend to the title.

The life span of a warlord is always short. Aneurin is fifty-six years old this year, which is considered a lucky old age.

Everything goes well for me here, and I will return to your arms soon.

Missing you: Melanie.”

The only son of the old Marquis is currently also an earl and will soon become a marquis, but Lady Sylvana and other grandchildren do not have any titles.

Melanie has been planning to seize a high title for a long time. Baronship is very simple, but the higher level requires the accumulation of merit over generations and cannot be achieved by you alone. The most classic example is the old Marquis. He is the second son of the earl.

, the eldest son died, and he inherited the title instead. He became a marquis by virtue of his victory in wiping out the elves' homeland. You don't have such a big power to win achievements that can affect the kingdom, nor do you have the favor given by His Majesty for several generations. Ordinary

How can a commoner become an earl? Viscount is a fantasy.

If you are interested in a title, there are not many ways in front of you. The first one is Melanie's proposal, which is to become the adopted son of the Earl of the West and justly regain the distant territory; the second one is what Tong En is brewing.

, and no matter what Tong En is planning, it cannot be the right way.

How do you plan to respond to Count Aneurin?

A. Warmly welcome him into the labyrinth camp and live in your castle temporarily. The army can also enter. Your attitude is basically "We are all a family, let's talk if there is anything".

B. Compromise. The city wall of the camp is now expanded in a petal style, that is, a new circle is built outside the original circular city wall, and then several small circles are continued to be expanded and connected to a second ring of city walls. Let Count Aneurin and his party

People temporarily live in the newly built walls. There is nothing there, which is equivalent to the open space next to the camp. If you are interested in the title, this kind of treatment means that you need to make up for the favor of Earl Aneurin. Or it will be in vain.

One game.

C, Refuse. They can't move any further and may still be stationed outside the camp wall. It may not be a good thing to have a dissatisfied warlord next to them.

The messenger received your response, bowed respectfully, and left.

You also get up,

You plan to continue to inspect the work of the council hall. Outside the castle, the new village chief is waiting outside the door. The elegant woman bows deeply to you and leads you to inspect the work.

"I would be extremely honored if I could be favored by you." He hinted wildly at you as he walked.

The three-story wooden building is slightly more elegant than the ones in the guard and market, and the decoration style is more delicate. Your eyes are inadvertently attracted by the fragrant garland hanging on the wall outside the door of the council hall. Walking into the hall, more than 20 employees are working

You are so busy that a piece of paper falls to your feet. It contains detailed information about the camp farm, from purchasing and revenue details to the blood type and weight of each employed farmer.

In my impression, the council office should have gotten off work before evening. How could the newly opened management agency of the small camp have such a heavy workload? Apart from patrolling, the guards had stopped working for a long time, and the market had gradually become less crowded.

The female village head will respectfully hand over the work information to you,

You transferred it to Hathaway...that's too generous.

The female village head smiled and said: "Then, please allow me to report my work to you verbally."

"The first thing is to introduce the registration of adventurers who have no affiliation. Currently, there are two teams with a total of three people. The others will leave after a short stay because they do not plan to have a fixed working place. There are still some people who I am working hard on. Since the dungeon is the first

The level still has a certain degree of difficulty, so the adventurers who come here are not too low-level, and most of them are experienced."

"Secondly, the water system is continuing to be developed. Currently, twelve households have had their water supply and drainage facilities renovated under the leadership of the Council. Four of them are able to take a simple shower at home and have sewage facilities leading to the sewer. We have already reported to the ancient city market
