The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 96
At noon the next day, the cold wind dominated the southern part of the town.

Directly opposite the crowded trading center, there stood a four-story tall, long and narrow building like a sharp sword drawn from its scabbard.

That was the town's council hall, and it was also the place where the managers of the cold wind led all parties worked in the past.

At this time, the crowd on the street gave way one after another, looking curiously.

There, two carriages came from Black Rock City, escorted by soldiers to the gate of the parliament hall.

"Welcome to Cold Wind Collar." Ronan walked out the door and greeted the two ladies who came.

In addition to the original Ms. Vicky, Eve who was staying in Black Rock City also sent a notice and arrived together.

Ronan led them into the center of the council hall ahead.

"What do you want to drink?" He looked at the two ladies sitting on both sides of the long table.

"Black tea is fine." Eve responded.

Facing the daughter of the future big benefactor, Vicky nodded in agreement.

After letting the maids go down to prepare, Ronan said to them:

"I already know Sir Vicky's reason for coming, but Ms. Eve, the life in Black Rock City is far inferior to the bustling Purple Spring City. I am very honored that you are willing to stay here for so long."

Eve tried her best not to let her expression twitch. If she could, she would have wanted to go back a long time ago, and ghosts would be willing to stay in such a remote town.

I just thought of the news from the Family Chamber of Commerce.

After learning that the other party's elder brother has become the emperor, the dissatisfaction accumulated during this period dissipated.

Eve looked at him with burning eyes, "My previous promise is still valid, and I'm here to send you a notice for your family."

"Oh, please be straightforward."

"Just two days ago, your elder brother, the current Emperor of the Empire, Edson Ortausius, officially announced in the court that you will be canonized as an earl, and you will have the supreme authority over the Cold Wind Territory and the northern tundra, Independent from the Northern Province, you only need to respond to the emperor's call." Eve introduced in a solemn tone.

Unlike Vicky who was already listening silly, Ronan looked at her unexpectedly.

It's not that he was surprised by this canonization order, after all, he knew it a long time ago.

It's just that it will take at least two or three months for the canonization order to be passed from Triumph City to him, during which time he is still Earl Drake's vassal.

This is why it is necessary to use the excuse of barbarians to delay time.

Unexpectedly, Eve actually came to inform him of the news, and this also meant that Earl Drake had acknowledged the canonization order.

The most critical part of this canonization order is not the territory.

It is to elevate Ronan's status to the earl, and has the right to rule directly under the central government, and no longer needs to respond to the call of the northern provinces.

Is this what Edson and Earl Draco have reached with each other?

Ronan guessed in his heart, after all, it was impossible for him to pay attention to the court of Triumph City in real time.

But it was pretty good, and saved him a lot of trouble.

"The call-up order that my father sent to the Cold Wind Territory before is invalidated, but Black Rock City and other territories still need to send soldiers to support them. In addition, the purchase price of materials remains unchanged, but the soldier's subsidy is cancelled."

Eve explained her reasons for coming.

She glanced at Vicky on the other side who was so shocked by the news that she hadn't recovered, and then got up to leave.

"Then I won't disturb the Lord Earl's next affairs. If you have anything to do, you can come to the Drake Chamber of Commerce in Black Rock City to find me at any time. I look forward to your visit."

"Bon voyage, Ms. Eve."

After she left, Ronan looked at Vicky.

"Long time no see, Sir Vicki, Cassana will mention you from time to time during this time, how about lunch in the town? I will bring Cassana over here."

Hearing his gentle words as always, Vicky managed to calm herself down and asked nervously:

"May I ask what Ms. Eve said just now?"

"I also just learned that not long ago my elder brother Edson was elected emperor. It seems that he has not forgotten my younger brother." Ronan responded with a smile.

Ronan's royal status has been circulated before, and Vicky also knows about it.

But at that time, he was just an offshoot of the royal family, after all, he was only famous.

Leaving Triumph City, even coming here can't change the other party's identity as a baron.

But now, the younger brother of the current emperor?The earl directly under the central government?

The more Vicky thought about it, the more dizzy she became.

And judging from Eve's attitude, Earl Drake not only does not reject the new earl in the territory, but has a close attitude towards it.

Otherwise, how could he let his daughter stay in Black Rock City forever!

It is said that he even used Fanhuacheng as a wedding gift, hoping that the other party could marry his daughter, but was rejected.

She knew that there, the prosperity and future of Blossom City were far from being comparable to that of the remote Black Rock City, it was a territory that she could never imagine in her dreams.

And the price is just to give up Cassana.

"Love?"

Vicky raised her head and looked at the other person's exquisite and brilliant face, suddenly feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

I worked hard in the family, and after a long time of planning, it was difficult to inherit the territorial title, which also caused a mess in the relationship between husband and wife.

The yearning for love when I was young has long been torn apart by the cold reality.

But he didn't expect to see his dream here in Cassana.

"Let's go back to the previous recruitment issue." Ronan's voice brought her back to her senses, "As for the transportation of steel and coal mines, you can entrust the chamber of commerce in the city to arrive at Furnace Castle behind the Silver Collar along the Blackstone Commercial Road, where there will be special personnel to receive and send Forged in Forge to carry weapons to battlegrounds."

"The specific arrangement and price of the goods, I will let Lao Motou review them one by one to ensure the interests of all of us."

Vicki nodded. During this period of time, Ronan has established a sufficient foundation of trust in the management of Black Rock City and his help in times of crisis.

"As for the recruitment issue, each barony needs to send at least [-] professional soldiers and [-] logistics farmers and soldiers to fight."

"And Black Rock City needs to send two knights and two hundred soldiers to join the battle."

Ronan explained the requirements of the call-up order.

Since he no longer participates in it nominally, the soldier's subsidy is naturally cancelled, and can only be borne by the lord himself.

This requirement is not too strict for the lords near Black Rock City.

As a chaotic area on the northern border, the standing army here is at least two hundred.

Especially the Heyman family, like Vicky's, was supported by a steady stream of iron ore output, and the number of troops was maintained at more than [-].

The enlisted soldiers will then gather outside Blackstone City.

Then led by the soldiers of Black Rock City arranged by Ronan, they went to the battlefields of Silver Collar and Dragon Tooth City to join the battle.

After confirming the matter of recruiting soldiers, Ronan took her to the restaurant of the conference hall.

Cassana, who received the news, also ran over early and hugged Vicky.

Then happily sat next to Ronan to eat.

"Ronan, why do I feel that Vicky's mother looks at me strangely, is there something dirty on my face?"

After the meal, looking at Vicky leaving, Cassana turned her head and looked at him aggrievedly.

"Why, Ms. Vicky is only worried about the affairs of the territory." Ronan gently stroked her head to comfort her.
