Chapter 2431 (?) Hehe! He is the lord of New Neverwinter City!

No surprise!

Under the misbehavior of a bad little girl, Edkin, Simon, Doric and Holgai originally planned to defeat Fuch, defeat the evil red-robed witch and rescue their daughter Kira, etc.

, although it went through a series of ups and downs during the period, it was basically achieved perfectly.

The only regret is that of course they were not able to achieve their most important goal of stealing Fudge's huge treasure!

Because, the treasure that filled an entire sea ship was successfully recovered by the paladin Henk Yanda riding a dragon and escorted back to Neverwinter City in full. They still want to take advantage of those treasures.

It's definitely out of the question.

But the four of them still received a lot of treasure rewards and honors because they were the winners of the Burning Sun Competition.

After all, the Scorching Sun Competition, which was restarted by the city lord Fudge after many years, ended with the red robe witch Sofina being torn into pieces, and the great destruction of Edkin's 'Rogue' team and the more than ten surviving contestants.

When it ends with a complete victory, the reward is definitely indispensable.

Although the competition and rewards were not their original intention, as a legendary competition that allows people to participate even if they risk their lives, the rewards must be very generous, otherwise the contestants would not take their respective

His life was on the line.

Anyway!

Even the Druid girl Doric, who disliked treasures the least, was too shocked to say anything in rejection after receiving her share of the reward.

As for Fudge, the initiator of everything, after the city lord of Neverwinter City, the original lord of Neverwinter City, and the protector of Neverwinter City, Daggett Neverember, reawakened due to the death of the red-robed witch, one of his city lords

Naturally, he was ruthlessly deprived of his position, and then the Alliance of Lords pronounced him guilty almost at the same time, and immediately escorted him to a prison in the north and locked him up.

That is, the place where Edkin and Holgai were imprisoned for two full years, located in a large lake in the freezing north, a damn place where prisoners were forced to dig ice for free almost every day to supply the southern nobles.

A bitter cold place.

Of course, Fauci and all that are no longer important now.

After all, he has completely failed. He has also been labeled as a 'conspirator', a 'usurper' and a 'malicious person' and other evil labels. After being convicted and imprisoned, what awaits him will probably be a person who will never be able to live forever.

A lengthy sentence of specific duration.

However, although the former lord of Neverwinter City and the Protector of Neverwinter City, Daggett Neverburn, woke up, he still failed to save his city and territory.

As for the reason, of course it’s because of the Scorching Sun Competition!

Everyone knows that although the Scorching Sun Tournament was indeed initiated by Fuch, Fuch's position as city lord is indeed legal. That guy was indeed personally appointed by Lord Wuhen, who signed the document two years ago!

Of course, in order to monopolize power, Fudge later colluded with the red-robed witch Sofina to poison Lord Ember with magic and made him sleep for nearly a year. However, since he is the legal city lord, the decree he signed and a certain

These activities are definitely legal and valid.

What's more, there were many lords, nobles from other places, and a large number of dignitaries from Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep who came to participate in the competition. They also spent a lot of money to participate in that wonderful 'gambling' activity, and

The key is that due to the intervention of a bad little girl, none of them died. In addition, except for the 'Rogue' team, the winning team also survived a little bit. Therefore, after the game, according to the rules

Although the final odds have been adjusted, compensation is definitely essential.

And if Neverwinter City dares to default on its debt, those lords and nobles who come from other places to participate in the competition, as well as a large number of powerful people from Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep City, will be the first to refuse!

Although Paladin Henk Yenda arrested Fudge in time and recovered all the treasures, after paying compensation to the lords and dignitaries, the remaining treasures were barely enough to compensate the citizens who participated in the gambling and some people.

They are just wealthy businessmen and retail investors. As for the biggest bet, that huge bet worth 16 million gold coins, Lord Wujin will definitely not be able to afford the compensation. Even selling his old money won't be enough!

Fortunately, Lord Ember obviously didn't want to pay for Fudge's mistakes and lose his own capital. Therefore, after discussing with the Lords Alliance Council, in view of the power of a certain troubled little girl (it is said that she is also a certain

The queen of the place?), since the huge bet cannot be paid out, and since Lord Neverburn himself does not want to plunder his own money to pay compensation, so, after obtaining the consent of Lord Neverburn, the Lords Alliance Council

It was unanimously decided:

Pack up the entire city of Neverwinter, a city with nicknames and reputations such as Eggstor, City of Skillful Hands, Pearl of the North, etc., including some of the surrounding private lands of Lord Neverember.

And paid it to Queen Anne Hastur from the Land of Fire as compensation for the huge bet.

The compensation is a one-time final payment, and once it takes effect, neither party will have any regrets!

Although, that huge bet of 16 million gold coins should have been legally repaid with more than one billion gold coins, but everyone knows that even Lord Wuhen can't afford to pay for it if he sells it!

Even selling the entire Lords Alliance Council might not be enough?

So, as long as neither party involved objected and there were no more objections, after Lord Neverember packed up his belongings and couldn't wait to leave the castle of Neverwinter, the matter was settled.

then!

From the day the new treaty was signed, Anne officially became the legal city lord and lord of Neverwinter, and the dragon paladin Henk Yanda who arrested Fudge accepted the appointment and became the third under Anne's command.

A general is mainly responsible for managing the security of Neverwinter City and the Neverwinter guards under the commander who have new bosses.

As a result, neither Lord Neverember, who ran away with his men and his "private property" in despair, nor the Lords Alliance Council, nor the residents and various forces in Neverwinter, wanted to oppose it.

the meaning of.

After all, no one dares to disobey a mage who can easily suppress the red-robed wizard and also brings a terrifying dragon (yes, it is a fat orange, it is just outside Neverwinter!), even if the other party looks at it.

She is still an ordinary little girl and is probably not qualified for the position of Lord of Neverwinter.

Anyway!

After sorting out a series of things, such as the mess left by Fudge, the compensation for the Scorching Sun Competition, a series of appointments and pardons from the Lords Alliance Council, and the departure of the dignitaries who came to Neverwinter City to participate in the competition, a certain

The troubled little girl finally officially settled in her territory and lived in the castle of Neverwinter City, becoming the new Queen of Neverwinter.

There is no doubt that Neverwinter is a beautiful and fertile city.

It is said that in the past, before the eruption of Mount Nahotno, the city of Neverwinter was a picturesque city. The beautiful scenery and buildings that are noteworthy in other surrounding cities are very special in this 'Pearl of the North'.

A common sight?

If you look down from the sky, it is not difficult to find that Neverwinter is a huge city roughly in the shape of an eye, and the Neverwinter River runs through it like a long axis, with the river as the city.

The dividing line between the east and west sides.

On one side of the dividing line is the port area connected to the Sword Coast, while on the other end are the highlands and the Lord's Castle, and beyond is the Neverwinter Forest.

In the past, there were three beautifully carved and spectacular bridges in Neverwinter: Dolphin Bridge, Flying Dragon Bridge and Sleeping Dragon Bridge!

They have always been regarded by local residents as symbols of this beautiful city.

Because, under those bridges, the gentle Neverwinter River flows layer by layer over small and gentle waterfalls towards the bustling harbor of the city, coupled with the colorful glass lamps, precise water clocks and

Exquisite jewelry and magnificent gardens make this 'City of Skillful Hands' colorful all year round, even in winter, hence the nickname 'Neverwinter'.

Unfortunately, the city was almost completely destroyed later after the Hoteno volcano erupted.

Among those three bridges, only the Feilong Bridge can still be barely used, and most of the southeastern part of the city once collapsed and turned into a huge pit called the 'Chasm', and the pit continued to emit...

The horrific scene changed by the plague left Neverwinter in a state of dilapidation and almost complete ruins for a certain period of time.

Later, due to the arrival and efforts of Lord Neverember, who spent a huge amount of money to repair and seal the 'Gulf', the city began to gradually restore its former glory in the following decades.

Of course, all that Lord Ember has done is now at Anne's advantage.

Because, from this day on, this beautiful and well-known bustling city, this 'Neverwinter City' with its ice-free port and ice-free river, has officially become her personal property.

Of course, it’s okay to say it’s a little toy of hers?

Isn’t this?

“What a surprise!”

“What a surprise!”

Edkin and his friends were really surprised that Neverwinter changed hands again and the owner was still another friend he knew.

"Annie..."

"Are you really the most, most, most, most, most, most... the most powerful super arcane mage?"

“It’s unbelievable!”

"and!"

"You actually became the lord of Neverwinter?!"

After winning a generous competition reward, welcoming back her daughter Kira, successfully defeating Fudge and being officially pardoned by the Lords Alliance Council, thus reaching the pinnacle of her life, Anne officially settled in the Neverwinter Castle for the first time.

That afternoon, as a friend and former team captain, Edkin naturally needed to bring his daughter, Simon, Doric, Holga and other team members to celebrate.

After all, they had heard that the reason why the Lords Alliance Council pardoned him and Holgai was not only a series of things and efforts they had done, but also the strong suggestion of Anne, the newly promoted Lord of Neverwinter City?

Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, and as friends who have "shared weal and woe", of course they need to come to celebrate and express their gratitude.

What's more, he himself had another very important thing to do, and he had to get Anne's permission to come here.

"That's right!"

(゜▽＾*)

"I am the new lord of Neverwinter City!"

()hey-hey!

Anne accepted the surprise and praise from Edkin and others without humility, even though this kind of thing was completely insignificant to her?

"correct!"
