Great Nobleman.

Chapter 1989 is not functional!
He firmly refused the documents Stella offered.

After waking them from their reverie and then leaving them with a list of redemption requirements.

Under Brand's control, the knight golem left Stella's office directly.

Then, go to his blacksmith shop and find Finia reading a book with her head down at the checkout counter in the weapons sales area next to the blacksmith shop.

The knight golem looked around curiously and asked:

"How was today's harvest? Several weapons are missing, and two suits of armor are gone too?"

Upon hearing the knight golem's voice, Finia quickly looked up, then stood up and replied:
"Mr. Bernard, today's earnings are pretty good, a bit more than at this time yesterday."

This is the detailed sales list.

Upon hearing this, he reached out and took the list from Finia, glancing at it briefly.

The knight golem sat down beside Finia.

After chatting casually with Finia for a few moments, the Knight Golem was about to enter standby mode.

However, after glancing at a map in front of Finia, the knight golem asked curiously:
"What are you looking at? A war intelligence map?"

Noticing the knight golem's gaze, Finia moved the map in front of it and explained:

“When Mr. Jon came to buy armor before, I asked him about the situation at the front, and then he gave me this map.”

The [Radiant Hall] has already invaded sixteen regions in the northwest of our continent.

Ten are located along the coast, and six are inland.

Eight of them have already fallen completely, and while the other eight are still at war, many despicable demons have bypassed our legions and set fires throughout the territory.

According to Mr. Jon, it's probably only a matter of time before those places are burned to the ground.

In addition, the area of ​​these sixteen regions is mostly no smaller than that of our [Emerald Realm].

In terms of overall strength, even our [Emerald Realm] cannot compare to most of them.

Hearing this, the knight golem ruffled Finia's hair and then said in a deep voice:

"It's okay for you to know about these things, but don't worry about them too much."

"You can worry about these things when you become a powerful and influential person."

After saying this and glancing at the numerous markings on the map in front of him, the knight golem continued:
"The demons landed on the northwest coast of the continent. Although we made some preparations in advance, they were not sufficient."

For many years, the war has been confined to the southern part of the continent, leading many to the mistaken belief that 'the north is safe'.

And now, we are paying the price for it.

Of course, the current situation is also due to the gap in basic combat strength between our two sides, as well as the extraordinary war determination of the demons of the [Radiant Hall].

If you want to know the specific reasons, I can explain it to you in detail.

By the end, Finia's face was full of curiosity.

The knight golem didn't keep them in suspense and slowly said:
"To explain why this war has dragged on to this point..."

Why are so many demon warriors and demon people crossing oceans to come to our continent of Osia?

And why are so many ordinary demons willing to risk their lives to strongly support this war?

First and foremost, we must mention the 'doomsday prophecy' circulating on the continent of Vantim, the homeland of these demons, the [Hall of Blazing Fire]...

……

When Brand, controlling the knight golem in the simulated world, recounts the causes and course of this continental war, broadening Finia's horizons...

Morning Flower Castle, in the garden next to the main building.

Heidi Lin whispered in Brand's ear:
"What are you thinking about? Your heart is beating so fast and slow."

Upon hearing this, Brand responded:
“I’m giving Finia a lesson. Although she’s already a full-fledged knight, she still lacks some knowledge and perspective. Also, I’m thinking of going to the continent of Vantim someday to see what this so-called ‘apocalypse’ is all about.”

Heidi Lin said:

"Why don't you just go and ask the Crimson Ring?"
"Didn't you send Rowling to make contact with the Crimson Ring a few days ago?"

Brand nodded and said:
"That works too!"
Also, I've been thinking about Ms. Cecia.

...Ms. Cecilia?

Because it was rare for Brand to 'miss' a particular woman, Heidien couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:
"What? Is our patriarch planning to take another wife?"

Of course I support it!
However, some of the ladies who have been patiently waiting in line might have something to say if someone cuts in line!

He glanced at Heidi, who was now wide awake, smiling and looking at him with a teasing expression.

Brand shook his head and said:

"I'm thinking that this dragon lady must have a lot of treasure in her vault."

But why would she rather buy on credit from us than use her treasures to purchase our military supplies?
You should know that the magic coins they owe us accrue interest.

Is she really planning to renege on her debt later?

Hearing this, Hedy Lin's smile faded slightly, and she asked, somewhat puzzled:

"That's all you thought about? Didn't you think about the Dragon Queen's beautiful face and figure?"

Upon hearing this, Brand casually replied:
"The great elf in my arms is no less than her, what's there to think about?"

Upon hearing this, Hedy Lin's smile unconsciously brightened.

But then, with a haughty expression, she snorted:
"Even if you say that, I won't be very happy!"

After saying that, Hedy Lin added:
"I don't know what Ms. Cecilia is thinking. You can ask Celine later; she should know."

Now... I'll give you a chance to moisten my lips!

Hearing this, and seeing Hedy Lin's red lips approaching, Brand felt a surge of joy and moved closer to her.

That night, in Brand's bedroom.

After listening to Brand's account of Cecilia's behavior, Brand looked puzzled.

Celine shrugged and said:
"What's so hard to understand?"

The treasures we put in our vault are different from the magic coins we use on ordinary days.

The magic coins I use on a daily basis are for buying things.

The treasures in the vault are for enjoyment and relaxation; they are not meant to be used.
"But you've reminded me, didn't the sales contract we signed with Cecilia not specify a concrete repayment date for the principal?"

As these words fell, while Brand was still trying to understand what it meant to 'use it for pleasure' and 'not have any practical function'.

Chris responded:

"There is no specific repayment date, but there is a rule that interest must be paid on schedule."

If repayments are delayed indefinitely, the interest paid will eventually equal the principal.

Celine shook her head and said:
"The wealth mindset of dragons is quite different from that of ordinary people."

I think you'd better be careful.

If the [Twilight Frost Domain] comes to borrow money to buy war supplies again, you'd better test them a bit to see if they have any ulterior motives.

Over time, the accumulated interest will inevitably exceed the principal.

But if she can find a way to erase this debt within a certain timeframe, then she'll have made a huge profit!
