Imperial Capital, Luke's Residence,
"No, Teacher Victor, I'm not good at all. I can't do this." Faras shook her head vigorously and looked at the Archmage Victor standing opposite her with an embarrassed expression.
Victor gently patted Faras on the shoulder, then pointed at Luke who was sealed in a crystal coffin, and said softly: "No one can run as soon as he is born. They have gone through enough hardships." I learned it after practicing. What's more, you are not alone. Your father is watching you, and I will help you. And Ryan... Although Ryan's whereabouts are unknown now, I have a hunch that he must still be alive. .”
"However, I invited Master Blair, who is best at prophecy magic, but there is still no way to find Ryan's aura, unless he is not within a thousand miles of the imperial capital now, or, or he has..." Faras' tone gradually became lower as she spoke. He stopped, but then became louder: "No, no, I believe Ryan must still be alive. The lich in the mine failed to defeat him, and the immortal King Alexander also failed to defeat him. Hundreds of thousands of orcs in the Thunder God Fortress failed to defeat him, but he still fought to the end at the imperial capital's auditorium."
"Yes, I firmly believe in this, but the most important thing now is to stabilize the situation in the imperial capital. If you want to do this, you are the only one. Although your sister is also a candidate, she Having a relationship with Orlando will make it very difficult for Orlando.”
"But, I really can't do it. I know nothing about politics."
"Me too, you know, this is what I hate the most, but if you choose to escape, what will you do when Luke wakes up one day, and what will you do when Ryan appears in front of you again? Do you tell them like this? Hey, while you are fighting unyieldingly against your destiny, I am hiding in Victor's magic tower."
"Put your chest up, Fanny." Victor said loudly: "The so-called politics is nothing more than a battle of strength, nothing more than the calculation of people's hearts. Luke's blood is flowing in your body, and behind your back , with the support of the most powerful force on this continent, as well as Orlando and his Royal Knights, they will never go against you."
"Fanny, this is your fate, to overwhelm fate or be overtaken by fate, there is no third way to choose from."
"I understand, Teacher Victor, from now on, I will do my best to inherit my father's power and work hard to realize his dream."
Mirror Lake, the chief residence of the Clay tribe,
Chief Abdul was riding on his horse, watching with interest the two brothers Luqman and Luqani training the new warriors. Kaili was carrying a scimitar at his waist, riding on his beloved horse "White Frost" On the road, silently following Chief Abdul, only the horse's hooves stepped on the snow on the grass, making a "click, click" sound.
"Well, that's good. The spirits of young people are very high." Chief Abdul nodded with satisfaction. He turned sideways and whispered to Kailim behind him: "Especially Rukani. , after following you to the imperial capital once, I seem to have matured a lot. Now not only my own strength has improved a lot, but I have also received a lot of military lessons from you."
"They are not strong enough, Chief. Our strength is not strong enough. We lack too many supplies. It is backed by the Hengduan Mountains and has mines that produce iron ore, but it is also far away from the center of the continent."
"I know what you mean, Kailim, but haven't we escaped the threats from the orcs and the imperial capital now? As for the remote location, no, I don't think so. From the perspective of businessmen, all profitable places , are covered with golden avenues. I can bet you that it is the beginning of the new year. Within three months at most, a large number of caravans will reopen the commercial route to and from Jinghu Lake and the south, but the imperial capital cannot stop it. Because they cannot do so at the risk of falling out with the businessmen conglomerate headed by Liberty Paradise in the South.”
"The history of our Clay tribe is a history of one-step migration. For thousands of years, we have almost never bred three generations in the same place. However, we did so in Fernando's time. On the one hand, it was because of the pressure from the imperial capital. On the other hand, it is because of our own depravity. Now, we Clay people have found a way to restore the honor of our ancestors. Without food, oh, no, our ancestors only relied on drinking horse milk and horse blood. Pursue for ten days and ten nights, why can’t we do it?”
"This is our journey, this is our life, riding a war horse, wielding a machete, facing the enemy bravely, no matter who it is, it cannot be changed." Chief Abdul sang leisurely the Clay tribe A song that has been circulated for thousands of years. After hearing this song, thousands of recruits in training also sang together under the leadership of Luqman and Luqani.
"Look, they are riding horses and wielding scimitars. As long as my people continue to sing this song, the fate of the Clay people will be in their own hands." Chief Abdul said to Kailim,
Freedom Paradise, Dorok Business Alliance Headquarters,
Chilaviv leaned back on the chair leisurely. Opposite him were a dozen of his subordinates.
"President, we have established business relations with Seike City last month. Our Chamber of Commerce has opened a total of seven new shops in Seike City. Among them, the shops selling iron and magic items have been favored by Senat's subordinate Heyman. Pay attention, he also brought back a message through the person in charge there, hoping to double the trading volume of iron and magic items starting next year."
"Last winter was not very cold, and the Clay tribe's cattle and sheep losses were not great. However, because the imperial capital blocked their communication with the south, I think the wool and other materials in the southern market will still increase significantly this year. Rising, because in addition to these reasons, many forces such as the Imperial Capital and Sike City are hoarding these strategic materials."
"Sir, this is the trade situation of our Southwest Branch last year. To put it simply, the sales volume in Wangyue City is really..."
"Now that Sunrise City is under the control of the orcs, our business in Seawind City is greatly affected..."
After his subordinates reported everything, Chiraviv said leisurely: "Everyone, we are businessmen. The essence of businessmen is to pursue profits, the biggest profits, so there is nothing more beneficial to us than this. The mainland is under the control of several forces that are hostile to each other but have relatively balanced strengths. In view of the current situation on the mainland, I have decided to increase trade with the Clay tribe starting from March, because they are currently the weakest. As for Seike City, if they want to reduce the sales of magic items, they cannot be allowed to make up for this shortcoming... "
"Okay, the above is the general purpose of our Dorok this year. In a word, we businessmen have no enemies who cannot cooperate, and there are no allies who can coexist in life and death. Everything is measured by money. Money may not be everything, but leaving But money is absolutely impossible. This is the greatest significance of our existence as businessmen, and it is also the only motivation for you and me to embark on our own journey and reach today."
