The mage arrives

Looking at the distressed expression of his lovely sister, Gordon's smile became even brighter.

Seeing that her brother was only staring at her and smiling, Xiona suddenly said angrily: "Brother, you are talking, how should the Freeman family deal with the attack of the Eisenstein family?"

Gordon pointed to his cheek and said, "I've been too tired recently, and my brain is knotted and I can't think of a solution. If my lovely sister kisses me to get rid of my fatigue, I may be able to think of a solution."

"Brother!" Xiona's fair cheeks instantly turned red like clouds.The girl bit her lip and twisted her body slightly, looking extremely embarrassed.She didn't know whether to refuse her brother's request to play tricks, or to suppress her shame to do this kind of intimacy.

Gordon didn't really want Xiona to kiss him, but he just liked seeing his sister's shy and embarrassed look.He coughed dryly and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The way to deal with the Eisenstein family is very simple, that is, do nothing."

"Brother!" Xiona knew that she had been teased again, and was so angry that she wanted to punch Gordon with her fist, "Do nothing, what do you mean?"

"It means literally. We just need to manage and develop our own territory at our own pace. Someone will help us deal with the Eisenstein family."

"Who?"

Gordon said: "The Baratheon family and the Stryker family. The Silmaril Lord and the Warhammer Lord, like us, do not want to see the Eisenstein family rise rapidly. The only difference is that the two archdukes are in They have been hanging around in the noble circle for many years, and they are old and cunning. They will not make a move easily. And I destroyed Gray Shadow Castle, which provided them with an excellent opportunity."

The destruction of Shadowcastle, for the Eisenstein family.Not only does it mean the loss of a large number of elite soldiers, skilled craftsmen, precious mages, and countless wealth.The various weapons and equipment and alchemy products produced in Gray Shadow Castle are an important source of income for the Eisenstein family, and many noble families are customers of the Eisenstein family.Now that the alchemy workshops and weapon workshops in Gray Shadow Castle have been destroyed, the production capacity will definitely be greatly affected.The Eisenstein family had to deal with the deteriorating aristocratic relationship in a desperate situation.

The chain impact caused by the destruction of Shadowcastle will make the Eisenstein family flustered for a while.And the other two grand dukes.Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity, and will definitely suppress the Eisenstein family violently while they are in danger.In this way, the Eisenstein family in order to protect themselves.They will no longer have the strength to deal with the Freeman brothers and sisters.

Gordon predicted that for at least a year, the Eisenstein family would not be able to free up their hands to deal with themselves.As for a year later... things are always changing.What will happen then.Who knows?

After listening to my brother's explanation.Xiona finally understood.However, she was still a little worried: "Brother, how can you be sure that Lord Diamond and Lord Warhammer will definitely attack the Eisenstein family? Have you learned any advanced prophecy spells?"

"This is not a prophecy, it's just a reasonable prediction based on the current domestic political situation in Freyton. Maybe you think my attack on Gray Shadow Castle is a conspiracy, but I think it's an upright plan that follows the trend. Yangmou."

A 16-year-old girl's understanding of politics is still too vague.Xiona nodded half-understood, and then chatted with Gordon about other topics: such as what the imminent fief looks like; such as the first step in governing the fief.How to start; blah blah blah...

The convoy of the Freeman family to the Haven area has a total of twenty carriages.It is loaded with food and other materials purchased in the imperial capital.Compared with the poor life before, Gordon can be said to be quite well-off now.The inheritance of Grand Duke Rob Antello; the gift from Faria, Lord Julian, Ms. Bishop, Dorn and others at the time of parting; the reward from His Majesty the Emperor; and the money looted from Gray Shadow Castle...

All kinds of sources came together, and now Gordon only has cash on hand, and he has [-] gold coins.

Such a huge amount of money, just talking about it, may scare many people dumbfounded.But Gordon knew that although he had more money in hand, there would be more places waiting to spend it in the future.

Today, 90.00% of the land above five on the Haiwen Peninsula is undeveloped.For quite a long time, this fiefdom will be in a state of consumption but no output.

In order to develop this vast land of nearly [-] square kilometers and completely control it in the hands of the Freeman family, [-] gold coins are not enough.

In addition to a large amount of supplies, there are more than [-] people accompanying the convoy.In addition to the Freeman brothers and sisters, there are Dalinar and his mother who have now been promoted to mage assistants; the five retainers who performed well in the Battle of High Rock City and their families; The Bard family, chefs of the Liman brothers and sisters; [-] various craftsmen and servants sent by the Betts family, Queen Elizabeth's natal family; .

This mighty large group of people naturally moved very slowly.

If it weren't for most of the journey by boat down the Changlu River, I'm afraid it would have to wait until mid-March to walk from the imperial capital to the Haiwen area.

"Lord Lord!"

Chuck's voice came from outside the window.Gordon opened the curtain, and saw the weathered but energetic face of the former platinum centurion: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, according to the report from the scouts, we will be able to reach Vine Town in three hours. We finally don't have to sleep in the wild tonight!"

No wonder Chuck was so excited.Manteng Town is a small town located at the junction of Changxia Province and Haiwen Region.The main traffic artery connecting Haiwen area and Changxia Province passes through this small town.Arriving in Vine Town not only means that they can enjoy a hot meal at night and sleep in a comfortable bed, but also means that the long journey is coming to an end: they are about to enter the fiefdom!

"I see." Hearing the news reported by Chuck, Gordon also felt happy.Although he had already learned about the situation of the Haiwen Peninsula from His Majesty the Emperor and various imperial government documents, he still couldn't wait to arrive in this area.After all, no matter how wild and dangerous it is, it is still its own fiefdom.

"Do you know if Douluo and Mrs. Dinah have arrived in Vine Town?" Xiona said.

As Gordon's business partner, Douro resolutely decided to abandon his long-running business in Clearwater City and follow Gordon with all his property after learning that Gordon had obtained the Haiwen Peninsula in the southern part of the empire as a fiefdom.

Leaving the bustling city of clear water, giving up the long-term network resources, and going to a wild land full of unknowns.This decision is indeed absurd and risky at first glance.But after thinking about it carefully, it was a very wise decision.

Almost half of the reason for Du Luo's current commercial achievements is the cooperation between him and Gordon.Xiongfeng ring, hair removal medicine and other unique flagship products made him a lot of money.In addition, with Gordon as the backer, there will be no obstacles to the operation from other forces.

Now that Gordon left, Du Luo knew that it would be difficult for him to persevere in Clear Water City.So he simply took all his belongings and went south.He had bet on Gordon for the first time before, and made a fortune he had never imagined.This time, Douro decided to take another gamble, betting all his hopes on Gordon who had won the fief again.

Mrs. Dinah also voluntarily went to the Haiwen area.

Because of the Sun Elf Castle incident last year, she lost her position as the head of the Bishui City diocese of the Lirya Church, and even the right to manage the Amber Mask was taken back by the church.

After being treated so ruthlessly, Madame Dinah left the Lirya Church with [-] congregants who were still loyal to her in a fit of anger, and became a free believer of the Goddess of Pleasure.

Mrs. Dinah, who had nowhere to go, thought of Du Luo, who had a good personal relationship with her, so she simply made up her mind and followed southward, preparing to follow Gordon.

Madam Dinah has deep connections in the noble circle of Freyton, and her eighteen congregants are all good priests.Gordon naturally welcomes such people to follow him.After all, the Freeman family has too few people now, and one more follower will increase their strength.

Douluo and Mrs. Dinah went south along the Kenva Canal, and they traveled far less land than Gordon's convoy. Therefore, according to the time, they should arrive at Vine Town first.

Everyone plans to go to Haiyun City, the seat of the Haiwen area, after the two teams meet up in Manteng Town.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the motorcade of the Freeman family arrived in Vine Town on time.

To the north of Manvine Town is the vast plain of Changxia Province.On the south side, the terrain changed suddenly, extending a mountainous area with an average altitude of 500 meters.There is a lush subtropical rainforest growing in this group of mountains. The reason why Vine Town got its name is because a large number of houses in the town use a kind of tough and durable vine in the rainforest that is as thick as an adult's arm as a building material.

The reason why the Haiwen Peninsula is difficult to be fully controlled by the empire is that its harsh terrain stretching across the entire north is also a big reason.

Due to the dense forests in the mountains that separate the peninsula from the Changxia Plain, the transportation to the outside world from the Haiwen area is extremely inconvenient.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first... It seems that this sentence is true. If you want to develop your fiefdom in the future, you must open up this mountainous area..." Gordon looked out of the window, which was completely different from the Northland. The scenery of the southern country has already begun to make plans for future development.

Manteng Town is the fiefdom of the Frey family, a great aristocrat in the south of Changxia Province.After Gordon's motorcade entered the town and informed himself of his identity, the mayor warmly welcomed everyone to his luxurious villa.

But what surprised Gordon was that Duro and Mrs. Dinah, who were supposed to arrive in Vine Town ahead of schedule, were nowhere to be seen. (To be continued..)
