After Ladored completed the transaction, the number of vehicles and personnel in the caravan increased a lot.
After selling the moonlight cloth and extraordinary fruits, Lorraine Hill used the extraordinary gold coins obtained to purchase a lot of local materials. Cloth is quite affordable here.
Looking at the piles of old horse-drawn carriages, the wheels making a squeaking sound as they grind on the road make people worry whether they will break the ruts.
Fortunately, the young lady of the caravan cast a spell to allow the airflow to lift part of the weight, making it much easier to drive.
After cleaning up, the convoy restarted and slowly drove in a distant direction along the winding road.
Sitting in the carriage, the car body swayed slightly. In front of Lorraine Hill stood a small silverfinch. The girl had just taken a small folded letter from its feet.
'The late summer harvest has been completed and now new seeds have begun to be sown...'
According to the simple description in the letter, the first batch of crops in Wenlani has been completed, and new crop seeds and system innovations have begun to be promoted throughout Longjiao Province.
It seems to be going well, but there is another thing mentioned at the end of the letter, that is, the empire's provincial army seems to have noticed something is wrong, and a team of investigators will be sent to the province soon to inspect.
It always feels like it's hard to hide it. Lorraine Hill rubbed his head in distress. At this time, farmers have to be organized to open up wasteland on a large scale, and many details cannot be covered up at all.
It is difficult to explain where these seeds come from, why the farmers are so obedient and in high spirits, what are the new systems on the notice boards, etc.
It's better to go back quickly and see if you can implicate that group of investigators, and try to extend the exposure time for a few months. When the batch of food saved by Longjiao matures, you will have the confidence to resist the empire.
After explaining to several captains of the caravan, Lorraine Hill prepared to return early.
"The journey after that will be left to Luna." Looking at this junior who had just graduated from Emenas, Lorraine Hill was still very relieved. The only thing he had to worry about was some nobles who were too greedy and bold.
"No problem, I will bring the caravan and goods back to the Viscounty of Wenlani." The girl lifted her skirt lightly to salute, and then took a delicate purple folding fan and placed it on her chest.
"Then I'll leave now. See you in half a month." The girl nodded, then her body turned into the breeze and disappeared into the horizon.

Returning to the Viscounty of Wenlani, Lorraine Hill quickly found Lubin in the office. The young man was still writing letters to the presidents of each branch, telling them what they should be careful about and pay attention to recently.
"Sir, you are back." Because there was no one else in the office, this person addressed him as a girl.
"Well, I heard that the military sent a team of investigators to Longjiao Province."
"Do you know their route?"
"I don't know, but they will definitely go to several big cities in Longjiao Province. Now they have attracted the attention of various branches of 'Drywood'." After saying that, he pointed to the map in front of him, which was roughly drawn.
mark.
"Most of Longjiao Province is mountainous, and cities are distributed in the canyons between the mountains. The provincial capital, Tooth Crown City, is where several giant canyons meet."
"These investigators will probably also move along the canyon. They can find out by observing along the way."
Looking at the map marked with various names, Lorraine Hill thought carefully.
Stop him? I'm afraid it will make people even more suspicious.
Interception? This simply shows that there is a problem in every county in the province.
If you let it go? Then the large-scale reclamation and various new systems in the territory will be spread immediately.
It seemed that no matter what he did, he could not avoid being exposed, but Lorraine Hill remembered the news he had received not long ago.
Maybe they can let Taotao stand still and let another organization attract their attention, such as the housekeeper who confused the previous Viscount Wenlani, and the wolf bone alchemy workshop behind him.
These investigators must be given something to do, so that they will not care about these changes in the territory.
After thinking about it, Lorraine Hill asked: "Did you get any results from your previous investigation of the 'Wolf Bone Alchemy Workshop'?"
"There is no more specific information. I just found out that they belong to the 'Bone Gold' and are a peripheral organization of this force."
"Isn't this very interesting? Maybe it can become a big news." Thinking of this, Lorraine Hill blinked, with a look that made people want to pinch the girl's cheeks, but unfortunately no outsiders saw it at this time.
.
"Don't tell them deliberately, just let the other party know about such rumors and clues inadvertently."
"I understand, I will arrange personnel to do it later."
"Yeah, that's it. If it doesn't work, then we can only make final preparations."
Although I don't want to start a war, if it is really impossible, then I can only start it.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but if you don’t start, there will be no end.
While Loland Hill was arranging personnel, various changes were also taking place in the imperial capital of Titiania.
A lively party was being held in Earl Pat's mansion.
On the surface, this was Earl Pat's birthday party, and many nobles and nobles from the imperial capital gathered here. However, in the dark room where many guests were missing, a group of guests put on masks and came to a room under the guidance of the red messenger.
In an underground room.
Candles were burning on the inside of the wall, and the light illuminated these faces. They moved forward in a low voice until they saw the young man sitting alone at the end of the long table, under the high back of the chair.
There is a dim gem lamp on the top of this young man's head, which reflects the short black hair, and his eyes are hidden in the shadow of the short hair. The black dress is decorated with gold threads, and his hands are folded in front of him.
With his chin and face covered, this prince in the darkness is so mysterious that it surprises many people.
Maybe they were dubious before coming here, but now they are 80% convinced that with such a temperament, he is indeed qualified to become the ruler of the next generation of the empire, even if he is still so young.
As expected of a descendant of His Highness Ansroy, this brother of Ansroy was engaged to the daughter of Duke Griffin under the arrangement of the emperor at that time. Unfortunately, he died at his brother's wedding before they could get married.
But unlike Ansel, he had a secret love affair before getting engaged, but the other party's status was not high and he was not suitable to be the queen of the empire, so the relationship had to end and was hidden in the dark.
But it was also because of this that the lover left the last bloodline for the crown prince brother. After giving birth to Elio, the lover hid in XZ. He was afraid of the revenge of the current emperor and did not dare to reveal his identity until a few years ago when he was poor and ill.
died in.
But now, the Dark Moon clan of the empire has finally recovered this lost royal bloodline among the people, and the old nobles who were loyal to the crown prince in the past and were rejected by the current emperor have once again found a backbone.
The idea of revival gradually became possible. They half-knelt in front of the young man, swore allegiance, and expected to regain their lost power and position under the leadership of this young king.
"With the blood of my blood, the blue moon in the sky, you will not fall into the sky. Under the true red, the roses are everywhere."
Surrounded by those red-robed Dark Moon guards, these nobles swore a pious oath one by one, cut their wrists, and let their blood drip onto the ground.
The bright red liquid seemed to come alive during the oath, swimming on the ground, and finally outlined a huge and extremely delicate bloody rose.
