Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2017 awaits your news!

Evelyn's treasure vault.

The first time he came, he felt a bit of novelty, but the second time Brand didn't have as many feelings about it.

After glancing around the entrance, I saw several mountains of magic coins that were slightly smaller than before.

The knight golem asked with a hint of curiosity:
"Lady Evelyn must have had quite a few expenses lately?"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn, who was standing beside her, casually replied:

“Need I say that?
The construction of the northern defense line and the war-oriented reconstruction of various cities.

The army's weapons and supplies, and the compensation for those who died in battle.

All these projects combined amount to an astronomical figure.

With war looming, our tax revenue has plummeted, making it utterly unsustainable to cover these expenditures.

If it weren't for the continued support from other relatively peaceful regions, I would have had to shamelessly borrow a lot of foreign debt.

Even if I used all of my little savings, it wouldn't be enough to cover such a huge hole!

The knight golem nodded and said:

"You've really worked hard, Lady Evelyn."

Evelyn shook her head and said:

"It's not really hard work."

The Radiant Hall is coming on strong, and we need to improve our chances of winning through various means.

It's not just me; the other Dragon Emperors are doing the same thing.

We all want to win the war, defeat and drive out the invaders, and complete the restoration of our continent of Osia…

While chatting, the two walked side by side, familiar with the way, toward the small palace where valuable resources were stored.

During this process, Brand discovered several more demonic weapons and equipment, as well as various fire elemental mineral resources, along the road.

After Evelyn's explanation, Brand also learned that these were spoils obtained from demons.

Next, upon arriving at the palace, she watched as the knight golem walked directly toward the place where her dragon scales, claws, and teeth were stored.

Evelyn asked with some curiosity:

"Why don't you pick out something else good?"

The materials I took off are quite nice, but you already picked out quite a few last time, didn't you?
I have other nice things here too.

Finally, Evelyn held up a spell scroll and showed it to everyone, saying:
"For example, this spell scroll contains a high-level magic spell for spatial teleportation!"

Even if you encounter the strongest opponent, it can still transport you to safety.

After picking up another box of essence-refining potions, Evelyn explained:

"Take these Dragon Blood Potions for example. You're a high-ranking knight now, right?"
With these, you can embark on the path of the Emerald Dragonborn, just like Stella.

It might help you get a better promotion!

The knight golem shook his head and said:
"Forget it, for a blacksmith like me."

The Dragon Emperor's scales, teeth, and these sharp claws are the real treasures.

Hearing this, Evelyn felt inexplicably pleased.

However, on the surface, she responded calmly:

"Fine! Whatever you want!"

In the end, the knight golem looked hesitant, picking and choosing, unsure of how many to take.

Evelyn approached with a smile and offered to help him choose what to pack.

Seeing this, Brand, behind the Knight Golem, said with delight:
"Ms. Evelyn is so generous!"

Seeing the same scene, Catherine, who was leaning against Brand, reminded him:

"Young Master spent quite a bit of his wealth yesterday."

Putting aside the damaged giant spear, the sheer number of arrows fired were hardly cheap either.

Brand shook his head and said:

"Those losses were compensated by military achievements."

After this, we'll be able to exchange for a large sum of money on the continent of Osia. And our weapon shop will definitely see a significant boost in business.

By the way, I noticed there are some new Champion Knight techniques added to the exchange list. Would you like to pick some up?

Upon hearing this, she gently raised her head and lightly kissed Brand's cheek.

Catherine said softly:

"I'll do as you say, young master."

Next, after selecting the 'extra reward' from Evelyn's treasure vault.

The knight golem also went back to help Finia clean up the blacksmith shop that had been damaged in yesterday's battle.

That afternoon, a dazzling array of weapons and equipment were once again displayed in the blacksmith's equipment sales area.

And then the battle merits statistics for the previous battles will be completed and distributed in full.

For several days in a row, people came to the blacksmith shop to purchase weapons and equipment.

At the same time, the Emerald City also emerged from the sudden attack and defense battle at an extremely fast pace.

The destroyed neighborhoods were rebuilt, the damaged city walls were reconstructed, and the city streets were once again filled with life.

Since the army of the [Radiant Hall] failed to break through the northern defenses.

As the rear base, the Emerald Realm certainly needs to be vigilant, but it doesn't need to create unnecessary trouble or throw the baby out with the bathwater!
Against this backdrop.

Controlling the knight golem's daily activities, interacting with the ladies of the house, occasionally patrolling the territory, or meeting with Virianna and Evelyn, whom she brought with her, in the simulated world.

That morning, Brand checked the current location of the returning fleet from the Evernight Forest.

After discovering that they would not arrive in the Imperial Seas for another two weeks.

Brand pondered preparing to meet a demon lady he had been hiding from for several days.

In the morning, at the Imperial Residence, in the pavilion by White Elf Lake.

Serena looked at Brand with a resentful expression and said:

"Your Excellency, have you finally remembered me, this devilish lady who has no interest in you?"

Hearing this, Brand explained helplessly:
"Haven't I been busy all this time?"
And I heard from Sister Sonia:

You've been busy lately setting up teleportation arrays with the Empire and your region.

"Will the interconnected teleportation points be established soon?"

Speaking of this, Serena also composed herself and nodded, saying:
"Thanks to Mr. Brand and Mrs. Sonia's help, things went very smoothly."

Half a month later, the teleportation point to our territory in the northern part of the Bruns Empire will be established in the city of Rivera, north of the capital of the Kaya Empire.

At that time, it will be much more convenient for both of us to communicate.

Furthermore, we at [Crimson Circle] would like to welcome Mr. Brand as a guest at any time.

At the end, after a brief pause, Serena suddenly changed the subject:
"Of course, if Mr. Brand doesn't like us, then that's fine."

If you don't like me, our [Crimson Circle] can send another high-ranking diplomatic representative to speak with the Kaya Empire!

At the end, Serena looked like she was about to cry.

Although I know he's faking it.

But Brand, who was always elegant and considerate, did not expose him.

He shook his head and said seriously:

"Ms. Serena, don't overthink it. The Crimson Ring is a friend of our Kaya Empire."

As an Imperial Duke, I hope our friendship will last forever, and there will certainly be no dislike between us.

There's no need to consider replacing diplomatic representatives.

After all, other demons might not be as beautiful and charming as Lady Serena.

Finally, Serena's expression changed, and she smiled and leaned over to thank him for his praise.

Brand coughed lightly, then continued:
"Next, I plan to visit the continent of Vantim and see its scenery."

"I wonder if Ms. Serena is available to be a guide?"

Upon hearing this, Serena immediately nodded and said:
"Of course! I've been prepared for this for a long time, just waiting for your news!"
