Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

However, the long life span given to me by my dragon blood has given me more opportunities to come into contact with different magical people, be they sorcerers, mages, or wizards. The more I see and learn, the more I realize my own ignorance.

In fact, I am quite envious of your wizarding community for having a leader like Great Witch Dany and establishing an organization like the Tea Party that allows witches to fully display their talents.

If possible, I would also like to meet the Great Witch Dany... well, I am also full of curiosity about the Witch Wilma."

"You want to see Wilma?" Owenia's face became subtle when she heard this: "For your own good, I hope you can give up this idea as soon as possible...

Don’t be curious or fond of Wilma because of her talent... She is... a... um..."

Perhaps because of her own upbringing, or perhaps because they were both from the tea party, Ovinia was not sure what words to use to evaluate Wilma.

Seeing this, Trinity spoke up to help: "A stinking, arrogant, self-centered, and venomous bitch who lacks respect for others?"

"Ah...right..."

Ovinia nodded in acknowledgment with an embarrassed look on her face.

This time, Fafnir became even more curious. She tilted her head and asked with her calm face, "Miss Trinity, don't you think highly of the witch Wilma?"

Trinity shrugged and explained, "Ah, yes, I do think highly of her intelligence and talent, but that doesn't stop me from admitting that the woman's personality is insufferable.

In fact, throughout the tea party, I felt that no one except Dany could stand Wilma's mouth, and there were quite a lot of witches who were unhappy with her.

The reason why she has no like-minded people is partly because of the obscurity of her research direction and partly because of her always offending personality. "

Fafna understood and nodded, then looked at Owenia and asked, "Even so, Miss Owenia, are you going to ask Witch Wilma on the way?"

Ovinia nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, after all, this is the request of the Great Witch Dany, and I can't refuse. Besides... I am not familiar with Wilma.

As a stranger, I just went to invite her. Even if she disagrees, I won't have any conflicts with her. Although it's just a formality, at least I can give Dany an explanation. "

Although Ovinia said so, Trinity curled her lips and shook her head, muttering pessimistically: "Ovinia, your guess is too optimistic... She is more annoying than you think."

After learning so much information at once, Fafna rarely showed a trace of satisfaction, but besides satisfaction, Fafna still had a little doubt.

"I have a general understanding of the witch Wilma... then, what about the other one?"

"another?"

"Well, Miss Ovinia, didn't you say you were going to Fontana City? Who is the witch who lives in Fontana City?"

Ovinia then realized that she had a target, so she explained, "Ah... that person, she's not really anyone. She's actually a bit like Trinity, a young witch who didn't want to face Dany, so she left the tea party without permission."

"Oh?" Hearing that there was someone who shared the same pain as her, Trinity immediately became interested and asked, "Is she my junior? What's her name? What's her research area?"

"Um... her name is Monica. Her research field is relatively unpopular. She is studying plants..."

"Researching magic plants? Although magic plants are relatively low-end, the results are pretty good, right? You won't be embarrassed to be unable to join the tea party, right?"

"Um... no, what she studies is actually ordinary plants. To be more precise, what she studies is crops."

Chapter 72: Fang Dengcheng

Fontaine City is a not-so-famous city in the Principality of Norton.

The location is unremarkable, there is no particularly beautiful scenery, it is just built by the water.

The city's economy is mediocre, and most of the people in the town are just ordinary farmers who can barely make ends meet. There are no mineral resources nearby, so there are no factories to drive the economy.

Someone once hyped that one could pan for gold in the river next to Fontaine City, but in the end countless gold diggers returned empty-handed, proving that this was a complete rumor.

This town may have had some lively past, but now, it is just one of the most ordinary and common towns in the Principality of Norton.

If there is anything worth mentioning... it's probably that this place just experienced a gratifying bumper harvest this year.

"Mr. Governor, I think the grain production in Fangdeng City this year is quite encouraging, but such a large amount of grain is probably not something that a small city like Fangdeng City can digest, right?

I suggest that we sell the surplus grain in Fangdeng City to our Bellman Chamber of Commerce, which will also add a little fiscal surplus to Fangdeng City's municipal government~"

In the farmland outside Fontaine City, Helena, waving a folding fan, suggested to the fat Governor of Fontaine City, and the fat Governor's expression showed that the possibility of this deal being done was not low.

"Hmm~ Let me think about it... Um, how much is the Bellman Chamber of Commerce willing to pay for these grains?"

"Wow... I'm willing to buy wheat at five bucks a pound, barley at four bucks a pound, rye at three bucks a pound, and radish at seven bucks a pound..."

Helena told the Governor her prices in detail, but the fat Governor seemed a little dissatisfied with them and started to argue.

"Hiss... Miss Helena, although our Fangdeng City does have a good harvest this year, it does not mean that we are willing to sell the grain at a low price. I hope to sell it at a price closer to our Fangdeng City price."

Having said that, the fat governor directly gave his own prices, which were almost double Helena's prices, and sometimes even more.

Helena gritted her teeth at the exorbitant price and immediately looked impatient. They were thinking of getting a bargain at the market price when dealing with the surplus grain. Did they think our Bellman Chamber of Commerce was doing charity?

Helena folded the fan, clapped her hands with it and said, "Mr. Governor, you need to understand that I am only giving you a suggestion.

In fact, the Bellman Chamber of Commerce was just passing through. We had no intention of purchasing grain from Fangdeng City at first, but when we saw the bumper grain harvest in Fangdeng City, we suddenly came up with this decision.

In fact, whether or not there is this little surplus of grain in Fangdeng City will not affect the profits of our Bellman Chamber of Commerce at all. It is not me who really needs this transaction, but you, Your Excellency the Governor.

As the governor, you should know that Fangdeng City is a town where there is not much extra income to be earned. There are no minerals or special products here. You cannot make a lot of money. All you can rely on are these large tracts of arable land.

It's a rare good harvest. Do you want the surplus grain to rot in the granary or be used by farmers to make wine for themselves? Or do you want to collect the surplus grain and exchange it for real bucks that can be put into your hands? "

Helena's question made the fat governor's face suddenly conflicted. He knew without thinking that it would be best to sell the surplus grain, but people are always greedy and cannot control themselves.

"Miss Helena, what you said makes sense. I agree with you very much! But... although Fangdeng City has a good harvest, it is not so surplus that it can be sold at such a low price..."

Seeing that the fat governor still couldn't see the situation clearly, Helena was too lazy to argue with him any further.

Obviously, it is unrealistic to expect every governor to be as aware of the times as Irons. Most governors do not even understand the most basic rules of the commercial market.

Therefore, Helena didn't want this fat man to appear in her sight again and pollute her eyes.

She didn't even give any notice and just turned around and left.

Seeing Helena turn around and leave so decisively, the fat governor, who thought he could hold on for a while longer, was suddenly shocked. Didn't she not give him any chance to bargain at all?

He panicked and quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Hey, hey, hey! Miss Helena, um, can we talk about it? If you are not satisfied with my offer, can we continue to discuss it?

Um...how about I offer one buck lower? Two bucks? Oh, Miss Helena! Just according to your price! I sell it! I sell it! "

"My offer?" Helena turned her head and glanced at the fat governor with contempt, and snorted, "Okay, four bucks of wheat, three bucks of barley, two bucks of rye, and five bucks of radish..."

"Hey! Miss Helena! That wasn't the offer just now!"

"You also know it was just now? Now I have changed my mind, is that not okay? If you are not satisfied, you can choose not to sell it to me. Anyway... you don't have much surplus food in Fangdeng City, right~"

"you……"

While Helena was arguing with the fat Governor, in Fontaine City, two witches and a group of brave men were sitting in a tavern in Fontaine City, eating a cheap and filling lunch.

"Wow... Although there aren't many people living in Fangdeng City, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of food. Eating here is so cheap... And, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the barley in this barley porridge is so big..."

Fox scooped up a spoonful of barley porridge, held it in front of him and observed it. The barley in it was almost twice the size of normal barley.

After Fox mentioned this, the others also noticed that the food in the bowl was slightly different from the crops they usually ate.

For example, the cabbage leaves are much thicker and chewier. In the lentil stew, the lentils are softer, thinner, and not rough at all.

Trinity took a sip of beetroot soup and guessed, "This... is probably the work of that witch Monica... a witch who studies crops...

As a witch, I don't study magical plants, but crops... I'm afraid I was ridiculed by others at the tea party."

Wizards are extraordinary after all. As a witch with extraordinary powers, it would be a shame if she did not study some magical fields that are worthy of her extraordinary identity.

Instead, he lowered his status to study some mortal plants, or crops at that. One can imagine how such an existence would be ridiculed by other colleagues.

If it was before, Trinity would probably become one of the witches who laughed at Monica. But now, Trinity would not do that, because that man changed her.

Trinity had a feeling that Monica, the witch who worked with crops, would get along well with Irons.

"You're right, Trinity. A big part of the reason why Monica left the tea party was because too many people laughed at her and she couldn't stand that environment. Although Dany has always supported her, Monica obviously doesn't want to continue relying on Dany."

Ovinia nodded, acknowledging Trinity's guess, and Trinity just laughed.

She scooped the last bit of food residue from the bowl into her mouth and ate it all, then wiped the corners of her mouth with her hands and muttered in the tone of a person who has experienced it, "Who isn't... There were many colleagues who laughed at me for wasting resources and not producing results.

It would be better to leave the tea party and relax your mind if you are doing research in that environment... I think the research results of this junior are quite good, right? He promoted the crops he studied in Fangdeng City and made Fangdeng City have a bumper harvest.

The witch Monica should be doing well in Fontana City. Ask a local. There should be quite a few people in Fontana City who know her..."

"Hey! You'll never guess what bombshell news I, an old man, have found!"

While everyone was sitting in the restaurant chatting, the blacksmith Bonakov, who was busy gathering information outside (looking for wine to drink), came up to everyone excitedly with a bottle of beer.

"Hmm? How come, old man, you found out where the witch Monica lives so quickly?"

"Monica? The witch you're looking for? Just ask any passerby and you'll know. She's well-known here. The information I got is much more important than anything Monica has revealed!"

"Oh?"

When Bonakoff said this, the people at the table were immediately curious and leaned over to listen to what Bonakoff said.

"I just heard from the messenger at the post station that Queen Catalina of the Duolun Empire has led her army across the Great Rift Valley and is heading towards the Demon Realm!"

Chapter 63 Sisters' Dispute

The Great Rift Valley is the natural boundary separating the Demon Realm and the human continent. It is a deep and bottomless canyon between the two continents.

The length of this canyon cannot be measured. At least, no one will think about how to bypass the Great Rift Valley to reach the Demon Realm.

The closest distance between the north and south of the Great Rift Valley is about two hundred meters, while the farthest distance is only four hundred meters.

To the north of the canyon is a dense forest full of greenery, but just a hundred meters to the south is the iconic red-colored dry Gobi desert of the Demon Realm.

So far, no one knows how this rift valley was formed, and no one has explored what is underneath it.

In other words, some people have tried to explore it, but what is terrifying is that most of the explorers who explored the Great Rift Valley were eventually swallowed up by the deep darkness of the Great Rift Valley, and no news of them was ever heard from again.

The only explorer who barely survived the exploration of the Great Rift Valley also experienced incomprehensible horrific torture during the exploration. He struggled for two months in a state that was no longer human, and finally died in the company of his companions.

His last words were simple: do not explore the Great Rift Valley.

Since then, the Great Rift Valley has become an unwritten forbidden area among explorers. Everyone knows the mystery of this area, but no one is willing to explore it.

At this moment, a large army has gathered in the north of the Great Rift Valley. These troops are setting up camp in the open space of the forest and cutting down the surrounding trees.

After many days of stationing and logging, the soldiers have cleared out a clearing full of wood stakes in the dense forest, but they are still continuing to expand to the surrounding areas, while assembling a wooden bridge to cross the Great Rift Valley on the clearing.

"How long will it take before we can continue the advance?"

Catalina looked at the bustling military camp and asked Minerva, who was managing everything.

Minerva responded, "According to the current progress, the cross-valley bridge will be built in two days, and then the army can enter the Demon Realm."

“Well… remember to leave two warrior regiments to ensure the safety of the cross-valley bridge. This is the main supply route we rely on after entering the Demon Realm.”

Catalina nodded and reminded Minerva. As the knight commander, Minerva naturally knew about this and she immediately nodded to show that she understood.

Then, she said to Catalina with a hint of worry: "Queen, although we have kept it secret, the large-scale deployment of the army was still discovered by those spies.

Now, the news that you have sent troops to the Demon Realm has begun to spread among the surrounding countries... How should we respond to this matter?"

Minerva's worry also made Catalina frown slightly: "Well... this is inevitable. After all, we can't delay time. Every day that Ains stays in the Demon Realm is an additional day of variables.

It is normal for someone to find out about our hastily assembled army. Let the news of our dispatch spread, as long as no one knows the purpose of our dispatch."

Minerva nodded, but the worry on her face did not diminish at all: "The purpose of sending troops is still top secret, and no one knows the real purpose of our invasion of the Demon Realm.

Even when it came to my soldiers, I would temporarily evade them by saying that we were fighting for magic crystal resources and fighting the magic dragon for Grand Duke Ryugu.

However, I am somewhat worried that dispatching so many elite troops from Duolun like this will arouse the covetousness of some neighboring countries... especially... Emperor Ettinger."

Hearing this name, Catalina's expression became uncertain: "Ettinger? Ah... that dying old guy is indeed a trouble...

However, with Clayson stationed at the border, if the old guy really wants to start a war now, he has to consider his own abilities.

We also need to fight quickly and get Ains back from the devil. After all, the old guy is so old that his mind is not clear. Who knows if he will really go crazy and start a war?

Minerva, tell the soldiers to move faster, the sooner the better."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Minerva accepted the order and nodded, she stepped away from Catalina and conveyed the order to the soldiers under her command. Without Minerva by her side, Catalina also became quiet, which allowed her to think about more things quietly.

However, this peace was soon broken because an unexpected uninvited guest broke into the bustling military camp. A knight with an embarrassed look on his face came to Catalina's tent with a young girl.

"Your Majesty... the Princess has forced her way in and demands to see you..."

"Hmm?" Catalina was slightly stunned. She looked at Dorothy who was actually stubborn behind her. Her expression became helpless. She frowned and asked Dorothy, "Hey... Dorothy, what are you doing here?"

"I want to join this expedition!"

Catalina rejected the request without hesitation: "Impossible. This is not something you can get involved in. You have no military experience, so it will be useless for you to participate in this expedition."
