Chapter 110 Prince
"A bow, a charm with protective magic, and a piece of leather armor with the power of light movement."
Fary glanced at Lysabell who had reappeared before him.
She still knew her limits, and the things she took were all within the tolerance of a kind dragon towards an eighth-level servant.
"Dear Master..."
Fary interrupted her with a wave of his hand. Lysabelle's deliberate address made him feel uncomfortable.
"Don't add any prefixes, just call me Master. You may leave now."
Lysabelle bowed and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Master, I still don't know where this is?"
"A small village in the southwest of the Earldom of Pala in the Kingdom of Valandi. You have fallen behind enemy lines."
Safrina Farrell answered the question. He knew Farrell probably had no interest in understanding these place names and the relationship between the kingdoms.
"Thank you, mistress."
After she finished speaking, Lysabell left Fary's lair. She walked very quickly, and after a few leaps, she disappeared from Fary's sight.
"In addition to divine arts, these clergy of the God of the Forest also have to undergo ranger training. Some of Lannia's people have suffered from this recently."
Safrina spoke up.
"You don't seem to be worried. Don't you have a contract with the Sun God Cult?"
Fary could probably guess that the Windwhisper Kingdom, to which Lisabel belonged, was probably at war with Lania and the others.
"The contract with the church has expired, and I have no plans to renew it. After all, as long as they follow you, the efficiency of those goblins in spreading legends is much higher than that of the Sun God Cult."
Safrina asked Fari in return.
"You are. Don't you have a covenant with Lania?"
Fari's mouth widened into a smile.
"Think about it again, who is the one signing the covenant?"
Farui didn't keep the audience on suspense and continued.
"It was the goblins who signed the contract with Lania and the others, not me."
The goblins are still executing their alliance with Lannia. They have demonstrated their value to all human kingdoms. Whether it is war, economic operation, or production, these goblins can greatly accelerate the development of a human kingdom.
Now this covenant, which is about to expire, can no longer fully reflect the value of these goblins.
If Lannia cannot offer better terms in the next contract, this group of goblins, which has expanded to hundreds of thousands, will most likely throw themselves into the arms of other human kingdoms.
But Lannia has no plans to start a new round of covenant negotiations for the time being. She is now standing in front of the mansion in Pala Town, and the soldiers are opening the door for her.
The bearings of the main door made a harsh creaking sound. It was obvious that the main door had not been opened for a long time, and the hinges had become rusty. However, the side doors used by servants, guards, and to replenish food were well maintained.
"Your Majesty, we didn't receive any notice and didn't know you would come here, so we didn't have time to..."
The commander of these soldiers explained to Lanya with fear and trepidation why the gate was in its current condition.
"It's not a big deal, it's what happens to things that aren't used for a long time."
She then looked towards the mansion in front of her.
"I hope his brain isn't as rusted as this door."
After saying that, she walked into the mansion with her two guards.
"My Lord, as you expected, His Majesty has arrived."
The wizard pushed open the study door and saw the middle-aged man standing in front of the study window, from where he could clearly see the gate of the mansion, where Lanya was walking towards him.
"Is the reception room ready?" "It was thoroughly cleaned yesterday and is now in the best condition it has been in years."
The mage saw the middle-aged man turn around, and he looked a little older over the years.
"Let's go and see what our King's purpose is."
After saying that, the middle-aged man took a step and walked towards the reception room.
When Lanya pushed open the door of the reception room, she saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, and the main seat in the reception room was empty.
Lanya sat in the main seat without hesitation and looked at the middle-aged man.
“You’re getting older.”
"After all, so many years have passed, but fortunately, this period of rest has also benefited me."
Lanya was expressionless as always, and it was difficult for others to read anything from his face. The two stared at each other for a long time before Lanya spoke again.
"Grand Prince... No, Prince Moralich, are you loyal to this kingdom?"
The middle-aged man nodded without any hesitation.
"That's good. The territories of the Wind Whisper Kingdom will be handed over to you for management."
Morari had guessed this result a long time ago. Although he was under house arrest here, he was not completely ignorant of news from the outside world.
In recent years, the kingdom has been trying to expand and annex the small principalities around it. The Cult of the Sun, which was supposed to stop and mediate this, fell into a strange silence and actually expressed limited support for these expansionist behaviors.
In the past few years, a large number of principalities have surrendered and the kingdom has gained a large amount of territories, but there are not many people qualified to manage these territories. After a large amount of land was divided into parishes and managed by the church, everything was barely able to run normally.
In the entire kingdom that had just been conquered, Lannia could not find anyone with either a noble title or sufficient ability to manage it.
"I will govern this territory well for the sake of the kingdom."
Lanya was still sitting on the sofa, and the two looked at each other again in the silent reception room. After a long time, Lanya spoke.
"You really do know."
"It's easy to guess that although the nobles you have newly promoted have military merits, they are not enough to manage a territory as large as an entire kingdom. You need a transitional candidate."
"It seems that you have some understanding of the people I recently promoted. They are indeed lacking in ability for the time being. Did my butler tell you that?"
Moralich fell silent.
"I did a few simple tests, and you got some information that seemed to be known by many people. But the details in that information were more detailed, and those details were only revealed to him alone. Unfortunately, in his opinion, other people who got the information should also know those details."
Indeed, the last time Morari received intelligence was two weeks ago, and no new intelligence had been received since then.
"He is the butler who watched you grow up."
Moralichi knew what Lania had done in the past two years. All the nobles who dared to resist and betray her were hanged without exception. Of course, every time, there were cheering crowds around the gallows.
After all, after Lannia took over the territories of those nobles, she brought them cheap food and products, and more importantly, she allocated more land to them. Compared with the old nobles who exploited them, it was obvious who to support.
People naturally ignored the fact that the punishment was too cruel and cheered as they welcomed their new life.
"Don't worry, I'm a sentimental person."
Morarich had to admit that Lanya was not lying about this. Whether it was the Shadow Crows who followed him at the time, or the Sun God Cult and goblins who supported him, Lanya had never treated them unfairly.
"I gave him three choices, and he chose poisoned wine. To the outside world, he died in an assassination attempt against me. His family will receive subsidies from the kingdom, and his children will be able to inherit his title as an exception."
Lania stood up.
"But there is no forgiveness for those who betray me and the kingdom."
