In late autumn, the sky is getting colder.

The taverns that Karina opened in other places were very effective. The convoy of the Chamber of Commerce returned to Bei'an City again, loaded the wine stored in the wine cellar onto a carriage and transported them to taverns in various cities.

Wine cellars in various places are still being planned, and at present, they can only use this method to supply wine.

Even if the manpower and material resources are all depleted, I found that I still make some profits when checking the accounts.

Although the chamber of commerce and taverns have only been initially formed, they have begun to gather huge amounts of funds for Ang Lee.

Therefore, he must not have conflicts with the kingdom now.

Just give him some time, and he will no longer be bound by the kingdom if he has his own armed forces.

Three days later.

The caravans in Bei'an City set off with their goods, walking on the main road, and transporting goods to each city.

Ang Lee and Amirui were naturally in the team.

The mounts under the two of them were also replaced by forest horses unique to the Ratai Hammer Forest.

It's a little different from ordinary horses.

As for Zhuifeng, since he mates with Forest Horse last time, he has been pregnant and is no longer suitable to accompany Ang Lee all the way.

There was a cool air in the air, and the leaves on the roadside fell and covered the ground.

It's almost winter again.

When passing through Marmi City, Ang Lee's brows frowned again.

The scene in front of him reminded him of the scene when he first came to Marmi City.

It is also approaching winter, and the city walls are various simple tents built by refugees.

Due to the beginning of the public beta, the increase in monster strongholds around villages in various places has also led to more villages being attacked, and the number of refugees is higher than in previous years.

From a distance, it was in chaos.

Some players even started business with refugees, exchanging food for items that players think are valuable.

The refugees acted rather dull and had a long period of hunger, which made it easy for players to exchange food for the items they needed.

When Ang Lee looked at these refugees, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

What Bei'an City lacks the most now is population, so are these displaced refugees now the best population?

By then, the population of Bei'an City will not be so short.

He called a guard and said softly: "Transfer a message to Yarman and ask him to arrange for people to gather refugees outside the city and take them to Bei'an City to settle."

Instead of gathering people in each city, it is better to let the trading staff stationed in each city gather these refugees and take them to Bei'an City together.

Although the journey may be a little farther, Bei'an City can allow them to live through the winter.

Provide houses to protect the cold and sufficient food.

"Okay, Lord Lord." The guard went down to prepare.

Soon, a raven flew out of the convoy and rushed into the sky and disappeared.

...

A journey of several months.

Finally, before the heavy snow, I came to Tennyson City.

Ang Lee did not go to the kingdom to meet His Majesty immediately.

Instead, he first wrote a letter to Master Woolf of the "St.Mayandian Mage City", which mentioned that after winter, he would go to the Holy Mage City system to learn magic knowledge.

Woolf was an old man Ang Lee met in "Erba City". At that time, he invited Ang Lee to study at the Holy Master City, but Ang Lee politely declined.

After the letter was sent, he went to the Alchemist Guild and donated thousands of gold coins to make his contributions respectful.

After the operation was completed, I returned to the hotel, changed my clothes before heading to the palace.

At the same time, Ang Lee's series of actions quickly came to His Majesty the King's ears.

When he walked into the magnificent palace of Huihong and seeing Cairns, Ang Lee bowed and said, "Ang Lee, I have seen His Majesty the King."

"How is it? Is it going smoothly along the way?" Keynes sat high on the throne, his voice deep.

The waiter brought a seat for Ang Lee, and Ang Lee sat down aside.

"It's quite smooth, but it seems that there are more refugees this year!" Ang Lee said softly.

Neither of them mentioned to the Grand Duke of Scripps, as if they were chatting about family matters.

"Well, this year has been an unstable year, and the lives of civilians have been greatly affected," Keynes said.

The increase of monsters and beasts, the sudden arrival of the aliens.

This kingdom that had just stabilized became a little confused again.

The kingdom has issued government orders to various cities and distribution of food and food relief, but there has not been much improvement.

"My territory is short of population and I want to recruit these refugees." Ang Lee said directly.

It seems that I am asking Keynes about his ideas, but in fact I have already started doing it on the way.

Yarman has begun to arrange people who stay in various cities to recruit refugees.

Keynes glanced at Ang Lee deeply.

The first thing that happened was to recruit refugees.

The information in Malmi City mentioned that Ang Lee recruited refugees outside the territory and his development was pretty good.

"Tell me about your matter." Keynes did not answer him, bringing the topic to the point.

The matter of Grand Duke ‘Scripps’ involves Ang Lee’s attitude towards the kingdom.

Keynes is a suspicious person, and he will not allow someone who poses a potential threat to the kingdom to develop.

If Ang Lee is really the son of the Grand Duke, he will find out that there is a threat to the kingdom.

He will be executed without hesitation.

Even if there is no threat, he will be left in Tennyson City and act as a nobleman who has no power and stays till death.

"I hadn't even heard of the Duke of Scripps before the White Crow Guard found me." Ang Lee's face was plain.

Keynes didn't speak, but just looked at Ang Lee coldly.

In addition to the news, the White Crow Guard also found a canvas in Ang Lee's luggage.

It is part of the portrait of the family of Grand Duke Scripps.

This is enough to prove that Ang Lee knew these things before.

Ang Lee looked at Cairns and continued, "But before that, I received a broken canvas with a woman and a boy on it..."

Keynes frowned. Did he get this canvas suddenly?

"I don't remember the family of Grand Duke Scripps. When I saw this canvas, I thought that the woman might be her relative, so I stayed." Ang Lee said softly.

"Where is the canvas?" Cairns asked.

"Uh, I'm not in a book."

Both of them knew that the canvas had reached Cairns' hands, but they pretended not to know at the same time.

"When did you get this canvas?" Cairns continued.

"Just the night I was assassinated by the 'Blood Thorn Knights', I suddenly appeared in the page of the book on my bedside. I couldn't confirm whether it was related to the Duke's affairs, but it was the only place I could think of possible connections." Ang Lee continued.

Blood thorns...

Blood Thorns’ hatred for Ang Lee is deeply rooted.

Many assassinations failed.

If Blood Thorns discovered some problems in advance, it would be possible to let the Kingdom kill Ang Lee with this matter.

It is not uncommon to kill people with a knife in political power.

"So, you have no idea about the Grand Duke Scripps?" Cairns asked again.

Ang Lee did not hesitate much and answered directly: "I don't know, Your Majesty, you think, if I was the youngest son of Grand Duke Scripps and had a grudge against the kingdom, then my actions along the way would be contrary to my idea of ​​revenge on the kingdom. If I were really the youngest son of the duke, I would never appear before you, and I was not stupid."

Ang Lee is not only not stupid, but he shows a strange cleverness.

I will come up with some methods that are beyond imagination for normal people, but are very effective.

It can be said that Keynes was moved by Ang Lee.

If he was really the youngest son of Grand Duke Scripps, he would never have the courage to appear in the Tennyson City.

There are powerful people from all over the country here, and who can guarantee whether they will recognize him?

"Prepare for lunch, eat and chat." Cairns stood up and whispered.

The invisible depressing atmosphere dissipated, and Cairns walked off the platform and greeted Ang Lee to walk towards the restaurant.
