When Metaru himself walked into the living room with two cups of tea, he saw that Umut was the only one left in the hall, deep in thought.
He gently came to the table and put the tea away. This action also brought Umut back to his senses from deep thought.
Umut told Metaru about holding the auction, and then said: "You should handle this matter personally. You must let all forces bring as many antiques and treasures to Hekel as possible. Do you understand?"
Metaru looked confused and hesitated to speak.
This look made Umut a little angry: "Just say what you want to say, how did I teach you?!"
"Father, we just had a bad relationship with the Bishui royal family. The mobilization of troops as a deterrent some time ago may have made both parties sensitive enough. It is not a wise move to invite all parties to Hekel at this time."
"Oh?" Umut did not explain immediately, but asked: "Then how do you think they will react?"
Metaru thought for a while and said: "The 'they' my father mentioned should refer to the Blue Water Royal Family and the nobles from the Eastern region who have good relations with us."
"Although the situation in the kingdom is very bad now, the royal family will never let us do whatever we want. Even without this auction, they are probably already preparing to deal with us. It is just a matter of time. If the other party gets our contact information,
News, no matter what the reason is, I’m afraid the time left for us will be greatly shortened.”
"As for the nobles of the Eastern Region..." Metaru thought for a longer time, and said after a long time: "There is no doubt that even the nobles who are friendly with us hope that we will fail. After all, the royal family at this time can deal with it.
Brazo, but will not fight against the entire Eastern Region nobles. It is conceivable that after the royal family defeats us, they will definitely throw out enough benefits to appease them. Knowing this, they will not really help us anyway.
, even if there are at most, they are only a few and have no bearing on the overall situation.”
Umut listened calmly from beginning to end, and only showed satisfaction when Metaru finished speaking.
"Then why do you think I did this?"
"I don't know, but I think father must have his own reasons." Metaru has put down his worries. He knows that his father will not make reckless moves if he is not sure. He was just too worried just now and didn't think about it for a while.
Just understand.
"Do you believe me now? Didn't you just say that this was an unwise move?!"
"..."

Lando declined Umut's invitation to stay overnight, although after thinking about it, living in the Earl's Mansion seemed good. Not only was the environment nice, but there were servants at your service, and there was also a dedicated chef. You could eat whatever you wanted.
thing……
A question mark ‘?’ slowly floated over Lando’s head.
"So why should I refuse?!"
He shook his head to shake away the inexplicable loss. In fact, he still felt a little guilty. Although it was a decision made by Umut voluntarily, this auction will undoubtedly push Brazo into a deeper quagmire. He only hopes that Umut can deal with it.
The situation behind it.
An auction cannot be started in a short period of time, and something with an ulterior motive like this one requires time to prepare, so they set the time for one month later, and the extra time will allow the Brazeau family to search.
More antique treasures.
So Lando decided to work harder and go to the Earth Kingdom first, and then come back when he was almost here.
Just to meet the destined ones of the Earth Kingdom, a month should be more than enough.
After making the decision, Lando didn't stop at Hecker. Since he had prepaid for several days of rent at the hotel, there was no need to make another trip, so he simply set off directly while it was still early in the day.
This time, he did not plan to stop in the city of the Blue Water Kingdom. He would wait until he was gathering wool in the Earth Kingdom.
…………
In the Kingdom of the Burning Sun, a grand funeral is being held. The funeral is held for the Dream Festival of the Kingdom of Burning Flame, the teacher of Prince Sandy.
Watching the coffin slowly being lowered into the ground, the king could no longer hold his breath and asked Prince Sandy: "What did the Dream Sacrifice tell you when he finally woke up?"
It was also the king who saw that Mengjie was getting weaker and weaker, thinking that he was going to sleep to death and never wake up. In addition, the Kingdom of Bishui had been moving frequently recently, and there were some unusual movements in the south of the kingdom. He had no choice but to deal with these first. Who knows?
As soon as his front legs left, Mengji's back legs woke up.
According to the guard's report, when Mengji woke up, Prince Sandy was taking care of him. It seemed that Mengji said a word to him and fell into eternal sleep.
This made the king very upset. He really wanted to know what the dream sacrifice said to Prince Sandy in the end.
Prince Sandy was neither sad nor happy at this time. He looked at the buried teacher calmly and said after a long time: "The teacher didn't have time to say anything in the end."
When the king heard this, his eyes flashed with gloom, and his tone became cold and said: "Really? That's a pity."
"During this period, there have been changes in the nobles in the south of the kingdom. That side is the granary of the kingdom, and there must be no room for error. You should go over there and take a look at the situation."
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Traveling under starry night, hurrying on the road.
It only took five or six days for Lando to enter the land of the Earth Kingdom.
After planning the route according to the map, he began a journey that seemed familiar to him.
After spending nearly a week again, Lando came to the royal capital of the Earth Kingdom. The Earth Kingdom does not have plain terrain like the Clear Water Kingdom. It is mountainous. The royal capital is also built on a low mountain with three walls, and the last one faces a cliff.
It is built, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and overall it gives people a sense of weight.
"Wow!~ Such a high city, there must be a lot of good things in it!" Lando looked up at the majestic city and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, I always feel like I said something similar."
Lando estimated that it would take eight or nine days to return to Hekel from the King's City of the Earth King without any stops along the way. Counting the extra time, he could stay here for about seven days. He had plenty of time and was not in a hurry. Anyway, it was destiny.
The person must be a member of the royal family. You only need to go to the palace to know who it is.
When I entered the city, I saw a lot of wanted portraits posted at the city gate. He seemed to be a young man who was not very old. He was pretty handsome, but certainly far worse than Lando.
The guards at the door seemed to have not slept for three days and three nights. Their eyes were red and they stared at the people passing by fiercely. If anyone was wearing a cloak or a mask, they would directly step forward and roughly tear off the cloak and mask.
Then he interrogated him about his origins, which frightened others into speeding up their steps when they entered the city.
Lando found it interesting and looked at him twice as he walked by. The guards didn't feel embarrassed when they saw him. It was obvious that the quality of the guards here was good.
