By the way, Deneke is really far-sighted. Could it be that when he desperately wanted Emil to fall and join the Necromancer Guild, he was sure that such a day would come? At this time, the Pope who had been silent said in a deep voice: "Leliana, what do you think we should do?" Leliana thought for a while and said to Danadel: "We can only find a way to investigate the whereabouts of those assets first. , and try to stabilize them so that the owner cannot change hands, and then slowly find a way to take them back." As she said, she said with a serious face: "But Pope, please be mentally prepared. Even if we try hard to recover it, it will be difficult to achieve results in a short time. Our life will be very difficult in the next few years. "Danadel obviously trusts Leliana very much. He exhaled slowly and said seriously: "I understand. "Then I'll leave it to you." "Yes." Leliana bowed her head respectfully. Now that the Necromancer has disappeared, he still secretly controls the huge assets of the Lavit Federation. The Sidonis sect is the winner in name, but only gets an empty shell. In this way, I have to admire people. Those guys are really the cancer of this world. ?????????????? But it¡¯s a sigh of relief, these things are no longer what Raymond has to worry about. Afterwards, he handed over the last few things and said goodbye. After leaving Sonali with Bast and his entourage, Raymond rushed towards Ferelden City. From now on, it has become a border city bordering the Theocracy of Sidonis. A few days later, Raymond and his party returned to Ferelden. Since the undead army has been eliminated and the danger has been lifted, the relocated people of the original Ferelden are gradually returning to their homes, and the long-dormant city is becoming lively again. These people already know about the Ferelden Alliance joining Headington, and most people have calmly accepted this fact. After all, for ordinary people. It doesn't matter who rules them, as long as they can give them a stable life, and besides, Raymond's reputation has always been good. However, the surrounding areas of Ferelden City were almost completely destroyed, and it will probably take a long time to rebuild. The whole city was filled with people returning home, and Raymond and his party finally arrived at the city hall in Ferelden. Thorz has also returned to the city and is handling various affairs skillfully. "Lord Raymond. You are back." Seeing Raymond, Thorz hurriedly came up to greet him. "Many people are returning home, so the city seems noisy recently." He explained to Raymond: "In addition, Lord Bryce has led some troops and wounded soldiers back to Headington, and there are still some troops "Stay in the city and help me maintain order." "Well, you did a good job." Raymond nodded. This person does have very high administrative skills, enough to guard one side. "Then please send someone to take over Ferelden as soon as possible. Hermi and I can go to Headington at any time." Thorz took the initiative. The intention of his words is obvious. Ferelden is a newly annexed city with an important location. Generally speaking, the recipient will deliberately remove the previous ruler from here and replace it with his own people. Firstly, it is to avoid suspicion, and secondly, it is to avoid another rebellion. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can tell whether there will be a revolt. However, Raymond had other plans. This is the way to go. He also thought a lot about Ferelden's future arrangements. In terms of city size and output capacity, Ferelden City is actually the largest city in Headington. Plus location is important. As commerce develops, Headington's economic center of gravity will probably shift here in the future. But for a long time, Raymond was unable to put too much energy here. Therefore, if he wanted to run this place well, he must appoint talented people to rule it. ??You can see many people with outstanding talents throughout Headington. But there are no talented people with comprehensive abilities, especially those who can govern a party. So, in order not to waste such a good place, Raymond finally decided. It is better to leave Ferelden and the surrounding areas to Thorz so that he can have no worries and fully cope with the upcoming decisive battle. Thinking of this, Raymond finally made a decision. He said to Thorz: "No, I hope you stay here. After all, Ferelden used to be your city, and it would be better for you to rule it now." "What?" Thorz was stunned for a moment. After being stunned for a long time, he hurriedly said: "But Mr. Raymond, if this happens, others will" "They will talk behind their backs, right?" Raymond interrupted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I completely believe you." "Leymon. Sir, would you please think about it again?" Thorz was still a little uneasy. After all, as a new person, Raymond's trust will put a lot of pressure on him.  "No need to say any more." Raymond affirmed: "This is also for the sake of the people of Ferelden. There is no one more suitable than you." "You can rest assured that I will give you full governance rights, and I There is only one request, and that is to make the people here live a better life." Raymond's sincere statement made Thorz feel sad, and he finally nodded and said, "Thank you for your trust. I will definitely live up to your trust. Will rejuvenate Ferelden as soon as possible. "After all, no one really wants to leave their hometown and go to another place. Therefore, after receiving Raymond's assurance, Thorz immediately agreed happily. After a pause, he added: "However, you should send someone from Headington." Raymond understood his concerns. Although Raymond had full trust in Thorz, nominal supervision was still required. some. So he said simply: "No problem, I will send Morini when I get back, but he will not interfere with you and you can fully cooperate." "That's great." At this time, Thorz finally Relaxed, Raymond is indeed planning to appoint himself to govern Ferelden. "I will leave some soldiers for you to maintain order and deal with emergencies. There is no need to worry about the Sidonis sect for the time being. They will definitely not be able to invade again." Raymond followed up and said: "So, I am preparing Take Hermi and Feidi away to deal with the subsequent battles. " Feidi is very brave, and Hermi has strong military talents. Both of them are what Raymond needs most at the moment. As for Moslin, although she was a good magician, she was of little use in the war, so Raymond left her to assist Thorz. Thorz naturally had no objection. Agree immediately. Afterwards, the two discussed some matters about rebuilding Ferelden, and Raymond left to rest and prepare to return to Headington the next day. *************************************************** **************** "Aishita, have you really decided? You want to go with these people." The next day, at the gate of Ferelden. Elf Drifen said this to Aishita. After assisting the wounded soldiers left by Headington to drive away the undead troops that attacked, Dreifen and his elves temporarily stayed in Ferelden until Raymond came back. Thanks to them this time, Ferelden City was not ravaged by the undead, so Raymond was very grateful to them and promised to guarantee the territory of the Elf tribe in the Jed Forest. Knowing that the undead had been eliminated, the elves were ready to go back. Dreiben planned to let Aishita go with them, but she was rejected by Aishita. therefore. Only then did the conversation begin. Facing the surprised Deruifen, Aishita nodded and said: "Yes, I don't plan to return to the tribe just yet." "But, you left just to help these people deal with the undead. Now that the undead have been eliminated, you Why are you still following them?" De Rui asked in confusion. "Because, I still have some things I want to confirm" Aishita lowered her head and seemed to be talking to herself. "What?" Derry was startled. "It's nothing." Aishita shook her head. Then he said to him: "Please go back and say sorry to the clan leader for me. I don't plan to go back to the clan just yet." Seeing that Aishita had made up her mind, Derui couldn't say anything else and could only give some instructions. , and left with the elves. "Hey, did you see that girl is still hanging around? She must be interested in you." On the other side, Harlot bumped into Hillness with his elbow and winked. "Shut up, don't talk nonsense there." Sheerness glared at him fiercely. However, he still walked behind Aishita. Touched his chin. Hillness looked around and said: "I thought you would go back after destroying the undead. But no matter what, it's great that we can still fight together, haha" "Yes." Aishita Turn your head. "You must be wondering why I don't go back to the clan, right?" I didn't expect her to be so sharp. Sheerness was caught off guard and could only say hummingly: "Uh I'm indeed a little curious" "I just I just want to confirm what Mr. Goodwin said to me." Aishita still looked elegant and quiet, but there was a smile in her bright eyes. She left the stunned Sirness behind and drifted away. "Goodwin? What does this have to do with Goodwin?" Looking at Aishita's graceful back, Hillness was completely confused. Here, Raymond is also saying goodbye to Holder. Under the careful treatment of Aishita and Moslin, Holder's injury has improved a lot. He took Goodwin with him??Ashes are also ready to leave Ferelden. "Mr. Holder, what are your plans for the future?" Raymond asked him. Holder is the strongest swordsman in the Veronica continent, and Raymond has always wanted to recruit him. Seemingly sensing Raymond's thoughts, Holder smiled and said, "We plan to go to the Lavit Federation as our next stop." "Lavitt?" Raymond couldn't help but be startled. "Do you remember what I told you that night in Grayling Town?" Holder asked. Raymond was stunned for a moment and then understood. Holder once told Raymond that after the Sidonian sect occupied the Lavit Federation, it was very likely that the residents there would be forced to convert to religion, so he asked Raymond to accept those who were persecuted by religion. It seems that Holder is planning to help those people. "I understand." Raymond nodded: "Then, please be careful." Holder laughed, waved to Raymond freely, and left. "Hey, you have to obey Lord Raymond's orders when you go over there. Now we are also from Headington, so we are not allowed to act like children anymore." Thorz and Moslin are also going to Headington with Raymond. Suddenly, Helmi and Fidy were talking, and Moslin was exhorting Fidy. "Okay, okay." Feidi waved his hands loudly: "Be careful of wrinkles." "Hey, do you remember what I said?" Moceline gave him a surprise: "Little virgin. " "You" Seeing her exposing his shortcomings again, Feidi became furious. "Okay, Moslin, just stop saying a few words." Thorz reluctantly acted as the mediator. Then he said to Hermi: "Then. Try to help Lord Raymond as much as possible. This is also for our Ferelden." Hermi understood what he meant. After Ferelden joined Headington, the two parties became a community of destiny. , if Headington is defeated, Ferelden will also have a bad end. "Don't worry. I will do my best." Hermi nodded. After Yiyi said goodbye, Raymond shouted: "Let's go!", and the mighty army set off towards Headington. *************************************************** **************** More than half a month later, Raymond and his party finally returned to Headington in a grand manner. The news of their victory had already been brought back by Bryce. Since they had experienced many victories before, the residents of Headington were not too surprised. However, the army of the undead that everyone feared was eliminated, and the shadow that had been hanging over people's hearts for a long time was eliminated. It was obvious that people were happy. According to the old rules, Sophia still takes the lead. People held a welcoming ceremony at the city gate. After settling down the soldiers who came randomly, Raymond and his party entered the city. At the dinner that night, everyone had a great time. This time Raymond led his army to fight against the undead. It can be said that he went through many hardships and dangers. Although he finally succeeded in incorporating the Ferelden Alliance into its territory, the long war still brought heavy pressure on logistics and economy. However, all this ended with the victory of the war, because "It's great. The undead are finally eliminated." At the banquet, Rickett happily said to Raymond: "Although the Lavit Federation let the Sidonius sect Occupied. But it¡¯s worth it to get the wealth that Lavitt has accumulated over a long period of time.¡± ¡°Yes, Headington¡¯s finances are finally better.¡± Charlotte also breathed a sigh of relief: ¡°For a while, I I really wish I could make money." During this period, Charlotte and Rickett, who were in charge of internal affairs, were worried about how to support the army's supplies. Therefore, the two of them were looking forward to the news mentioned in the message sent back by Raymond that they would share 30% of Sonali's treasury. However, after hearing what the two of them said, Raymond and others all looked embarrassed. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Sophia asked strangely. "About the money I mentioned before" Raymond hesitated: "Something went wrong." "Oh, it doesn't matter. Lavitt's long-term accumulation of wealth is extremely considerable. 30% is indeed a bit more, Sidonis The sect probably wouldn't be willing to give that much." Rickett said very optimistically, "20% is a lot of money." "It's not that much" "How much is that?" Rickett frowned slightly. "15%?" Seeing that Raymond still didn't respond, Rickett became a little angry: "You won't just give us 10%, right? I didn't expect the guys from the sect to be so greedy." "Forget it, 10% is enough." Lottie said: "I have done the math, the financial gap is not too big, as long as it can be made up." "This" Raymond felt his face was a little hot: "Actually,That money" "What! ? Didn't get a penny? ? "When they heard Raymond tell the truth, Rickett and Charlotte jumped up from their chairs as if their tails had been stepped on. They looked at each other, and then rushed to Raymond at the same time: "Sir Raymond, you Are you kidding me? It must be a joke, right? ¡± The long-term continuous war has placed a heavy financial burden on Headington, who was already economically weak, and all his previous savings had been exhausted. Faced with the huge consumption of funds during the war, Charlotte and Rickett, who managed the finances, almost They were in pain every day. They both still remember that when Raymond sent back the news that they could get 30% of the property in Sonali City's treasury, they almost burst into tears. Finally, they no longer had to deal with those poor people in pain. The numbers were fighting. However However! What I had been waiting for for so long was this news! The huge sum of money that should have belonged to Headington was gone. For a moment, Charlotte and Rickett felt like the sky was falling and they almost fainted. Raymond also felt very sorry for this. In fact, even he felt very sorry for them. Thinking that there will be Gaspard's war to restore the country and the war against the Kingdom of Dilk, but Headington is at the end of his rope, he can't help but feel a headache. "Raymon. What is going on? "Sofia asked. Raymond sighed, briefly explained the cause and effect, and finally said: "The Necromancer did a great job. Although the Sidonis sect occupied Lavit, they only got an empty shell. son. " "I think this is all done by Emil, and only he has this kind of ability. The Necromancer Guild really has joined an incredible person. " "Damn it, it's a good thing we worked together on Darko Island. That guy is so unjust. " Harlot said angrily. "Forget it. After becoming a necromancer, he is completely different from the person he used to be. "Raymond said. "If this is the case, what should we do next? Where are we going to get so much money? "Sofia also understood that the subsequent war would require financial support, and she couldn't help but change her attitude. "Why not, let's borrow it from the Lovell Chamber of Commerce. "Someone suggested. Rickett shook his head: "We have borrowed a lot of money from the Lowell Chamber of Commerce. The situation on the Mojina continent is now unstable, Manas Island has been destroyed, and the other party has suffered heavy losses. It is impossible to lend us so much money anymore. ¡± It all depends on the funding from the Lowville Chamber of Commerce. Headington has grown step by step. But as Headington¡¯s territory grows larger and larger, it is no longer possible to rely entirely on others as before. It must solve the difficulties on its own. Listen now Saying that important funds were not received, everyone at the banquet automatically stopped laughing, and the originally lively banquet immediately became extremely deserted. ¡°It¡¯s really difficult. " Raymond sighed in his heart. Then, he forced a smile and said: "Haha, don't worry, everyone, we will always find a solution. We've had so many wins. Will he still be defeated by a mere gold coin? " "That's not just a 'little' gold coin. " Rickett and Charlotte cursed. Sofia also followed: "Yes, we will definitely be able to find a way. Tonight is to celebrate our victory, let's have fun. " Under the leadership of the two people, the banquet finally regained its lively atmosphere. However, the worries that lingered in everyone's minds could never be dissipated. ****************** *************************************************** "Is there really no other way? " "That's right. " "Lord Raymond, we are really at the end of our rope this time. "The next day, the above conversation took place in Headington's town hall. The next day after returning to Headington, Raymond worked tirelessly to bring Rickett and others to discuss how to raise funds. After all, the war was imminent, and it was impossible to say that they were not nervous. However, after many calculations, they all concluded that it would be impossible to get such a large sum of money unless it fell from the sky. "There is no way. All I can do is beg Mr. Reed again. " "Yes, in the final analysis, it was the Emir's fault that our money was taken away, and he must also bear the responsibility. " "If it doesn't work, just use this to threaten him. " In desperation, several people began to come up with bad ideas, completely forgetting their integrity last night. Just when they were worried, a port official came up: "Lord Raymond, there is a weird guy coming to the port. Said he wanted to see you. ?"Port?" After hearing the official's report, Raymond was surprised: "Are they pirates?" "It's not pirates, but" When the official was about to explain, he heard a voice coming from behind: "Oh, Lei. Lord Meng, is this the place where you rule Headington? It is really simpler than imagined." As he spoke, a tall, thin man Shi Shiran walked in. When he saw him, the official was startled: "Wait a minute, didn't I ask you to wait for me at the port to report? How did you get away from our guards and run here?" "Oh, don't be so nervous. The man said to the shocked official: "I have strict orders to see Mr. Raymond as soon as possible. How can I waste time at the port?" "Ah, that guy actually came here!" Catch him quickly!" At this time, a group of port guards ran over panting and shouted when they saw the man. "Okay, you have nothing to do here. Let's go back." When the commotion was going on, Raymond came out and said to everyone. The officials and guards dispersed reluctantly. Then, Raymond turned to look at the smiling man: "Dusan, what are you doing here?" The visitor was the undead ghost raised by the sea dragon Netherese, the ghost ship Dusan. mulberry.
