glanced at the girl who was still asleep, the slightly raised buds were half-hidden, and a trace of tears still existed in the corners of her eyes, she was really a lovely person, but last night's watch was really crazy, compared to the one he was in the cordillera collar It seems that he is not inferior, maybe it is the temptation of red wine that no one is exempt from vulgarity.

"Petro, are you awake?" Although the movements were very careful, the sound of getting up still woke up the sensitive girl.

"Oh, Charlie, you can rest a little longer, I'll get up first." Petro. Hughes stood up and bowed gracefully, his face full of charming smiles, but his slightly pale face told him that he hadn't rested well last night.

"How's that going to work? Let me dress you, won? The girl turned her back a little embarrassed and put on her silk nightgown, fastened the belt of the robe, and turned around to be considerate for Petro. Hughes dressed.

Petro. Hughes sighed a little, after all, she is a concubine, even if she is the daughter of a declining nobleman, she will not be so careful and considerate as long as she is out, it seems that her mother has been planning for her daughter since she was a child, but she is just a small lord, maybe the political officer of the Cordillera is what they value, and now people are becoming more and more realistic, and the dignity and honor of the nobility seem to be less and less valuable.

"Petro, are you going to meet with Lord Mosius today?" Aside for Petro. Hughes was dressed and tied, and the girl whispered.

"Yes, Lord Mosius is one of the important goals of my visit to Heidelberg."

Petro. Hughes did not hide his purpose, the purpose of his visit to Heidelberg this time was too obvious. It's clear to almost everyone, but Petro. Hughes didn't care, maybe it would be better that way, putting all the pressure on Casserf's side, maybe making that old thing age faster.

Hearing that the girl seems to have something to say, Petro. Hughes's mind is also turning sharply, although she is a concubine and the family has not been in place for a long time, but in Heidelberg, it is also a big family with some roots, maybe the other party still has some use. "Do you have anything to say?"

"I've heard that Lord Mosius is very scared. His wife is the daughter of the Zoe family, and she is very fond of magic lamps, and I think Lord Mosius will be very pleased if you can add magic lamps to your gifts. He hesitated. The girl still said cautiously.

"Oh? Magic lamp? "Petro. Hughes frowned. Heidelberg is not without such things. But his ability to appreciate this kind of thing is very limited, and he doesn't know where to sell it, if he can't buy the right one. That's not a good deal.

Mosius is one of the presiding judges of the royal court, and although it has not yet been determined who will decide the case of Archduke Cassoff's application, Mosius is very likely, and even if he is not the presiding judge this time, making friends with such an important person will be quite useful for Hathaway in the future.

"If it's not convenient for adults, I can give it a try, I heard that the Champs Street has all kinds of magic gadgets for decoration, and the price is moderate, and it should be able to meet the needs." With a shallow smile, the girl's eyes were clear and transparent.

"Well, then please buy it for me at noon, I'll use it at tea time." Petro. Hughes did not hesitate, it seems that this binder concubine may really be a good helper, at least help herself save a lot of unnecessary expenses in Heidelberg.

"In addition, I have heard that Judge Radelph may also participate in this ruling, his second wife is very fond of him, but she is not very good at the scene, so she has always hoped to have one or two pieces of jewelry worthy of her, but Judge Radelph does not seem to have a lot of income, so she has not been satisfied, and if ......" the girl saw that her advice worked, she became even more interested.

"Very good, then this matter will be handled by you together, and it must be done beautifully. Here's a check for 50,000 carats, okay? "Petro. Hughes never skimps on these things.

The girl's eyes lit up, fifty thousand gold carats! This is not a small amount, it seems that the economic strength of the Cordillera is really strong, can I use this big tree to enjoy the shade? The girl's heart jumped a few times and it seemed that she didn't see Petro. The cunning in Hughes's eyes.

……

"This court now announces its ruling! In view of the fact that the Duke of Fivenre, the lord of the province of Kasew, was unable to fulfil his rights and obligations to the northern part of the province of Kasef during the war, this court regained the sovereignty of the lord of the northern part of the province of Kasef on behalf of the Ortiga Empire.

According to Lord Hathaway of the Cordillera. The application of the Lord of Bell and the application of the Duke of Fiwenlie, the lord of the province of Cartf, were accepted by the Court by a margin of three to two, and the Marquis of Bell was to act as the lord of the northern region of the province of Cartif for a period of one year, after which the Court will make a decision on the basis of the results of the investigation and the certificate provided by the Duke of Fiwenlie, the lord of the province of Cart. ”

With a crisp hammer sound, it was announced that the dispute over the sovereignty agency of the northern region of the Kasef Province, which had been delayed for more than a month, finally came to an end, which ushered in a new era, and successfully won another fiefdom agency from the royal family members from the royal family, which was unprecedented in the history of the empire, which also gave great hope to countless small lords and sounded the alarm bell for the big lords.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is still the emperor, and the initiative is still in the hands of the empire.

Although the area had just been war-torn and had been a well-developed land, and there were hundreds of thousands of farmers, whether it was the Cordillera or the Archduke of Casseff, it was ultimately up to the Empire to prove to the Empire who was the most suitable ruler of the land, and the Cordillera was clearly in the ascendancy in this regard.

"Paramount, are you ready over there?" Picking up the wine glass in his hand, but he didn't mean to drink it, Abbe's face didn't relax after making up his mind, his brows were still deep, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"What exactly are you worried about?" A red-faced Paramount sat in the chair, puzzled by his old friend's appearance during this time. It's just a reluctance to support the Cordillera's request. But when he asked for advice, he didn't object, and Paramount really couldn't understand what the old friend was thinking.

"Do you think Grand Guild of Cassef will accept this reality?" Ignoring the other party's question, Abbe still asked the question according to his own train of thought.

"Well, I think he should take it if he's smart. If it had been before the invasion of the underground coalition, he still had the strength to fight back, but now that his vitality was greatly damaged, he had lost enough leverage. You know, Grand Duke Kasef's nose is more spiritual than we imagined, and now the four main forces of the empire have been prepared and may go to the battlefield at any time. What if he doesn't accept it? Rebel? He's not that stupid. At best, it's just a matter of making some strong-worded talk. ”

Paramount thinks that his old friend is overly worried about Archduke Casseff's attitude, and according to the wartime laws of the Empire, the land recovered by the Cordillera should be annexed to the Cordillera Territory in whole or in part, but the royal court's ruling is already relatively vague. Although currently in favor of the Cordillera collar. But it didn't leave a glimmer of hope for Grand Duke Casef.

"Nope. Paramount. I think you're underestimating the impact of this matter, and although the royal court didn't award the land directly to the Cordillera, the tendencies in this are pretty representative. All the lords of the empire, big and small, were watching this matter. In fact, it was clear to everyone that the judges represented His Majesty the Emperor, and that the little guy's tricks in Heidelberg were nothing more than a cover-up.

In the eyes of the big lords, this is a rather bad start, and the small lords will follow suit, and will change their ways to find opportunities, for the big lords this is tightening the noose, they will not give up so easily. Shaking his head, Abbe's tone was very heavy.

"Wouldn't that be better? Since those guys are not willing to do their duty, then we must let those who are willing to accept the imperial decree manage the land of the empire, and let them understand that the emperor is the only master of this country, and everyone else is a slave, at most there is a distinction between high and low. Paramount's sonorous retort.

"If only it were that simple." Abbe sighed softly, if his old friend talks about marching and fighting, he is naturally a good hand, but he seems to be a little careless about his sensitivity to politics and the shape outside the empire.

"If there is no external pressure in the empire, this is naturally a good way, and it will come naturally. But in the current empire, we can't help but think about it. ”

"Do you mean the Underground Coalition or the Orcs?" Paramount asked alarmedly.

"These two alone may cause some trouble for the Empire at best. But if the major lords take this matter too seriously, and those who want to take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble, then we have to be cautious. The real threat to us is the natural church. The clouds on Abbe's face were even heavier.

Paramount pondered the meaning of the other party's words carefully, the relationship between the Church and the Empire is not very good, but the relationship with Archduke Cassef is even worse, it seems that it is unlikely to be mixed together, and the orcs will definitely not take action against the Empire at present. The underground coalition was defeated in the north and Heidelberg, and although it was overwhelming in the southern battlefield, it was not a threat to the empire for the time being.

So, what exactly are old friends worried about? Could it be the big lords? The problem is that even if those big lords join forces, it seems impossible to challenge the military superiority of the empire.

"Paramount, there are some issues that we can't help but complicate ourselves, and perhaps we think that they can't be entangled, because they all have contradictions of one kind or another, or have many other limitations. But for those in power, there are only eternal interests, and there are no eternal enemies, and under a common goal, the possibility of them joining forces cannot be ruled out. If you want to go together, this verdict is just a temptation, once it is allowed to continue, I am afraid that in a few years, they will not even have a chance to resist. Rather than that, will they choose to take the risk now? The pace of speech grew slower, and Abbe's voice grew deeper and deeper.

"Then why don't you postpone the ruling to His Majesty the Emperor?" Paramount asked after a while, and although he didn't quite agree with the other party's opinion, he also had to admit that this possibility was not impossible, but the probability was so low that it was almost negligible.

"There are things that are done that don't necessarily lead to the desired results. But if you don't do it, it will definitely not come to fruition. This is an opportunity, if we can manage the situation this time, then the empire will be reborn in a few years, and it will be possible to regain its former glory, so I also want to take a risk, but the risk often comes at a cost, and I remind you that I hope we can be more prepared to achieve the maximum benefit at the lowest cost. Abbe muttered, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, this is also a matter of necessity.

"Old fox!"

After learning of the royal court's verdict, Hathaway could only reluctantly give a comment to Ferviniel XVIII, and then his attention was immediately attracted by the gift of the green elf.

When the eighteen Komodo War Bears arrived in Mandy Gaza, Hathaway realized that it was probably the Tribe that the Tribe could no longer resist the temptation from the Cordillera Territory, and the originally strong Green Elf Alliance had finally loosened a little.

The collective farms provided an abundant source of grain for the Cordillera Territory, and the Yale grain reserve was filled with every grain hoard in a very short time, and the price of grain plummeted by more than seventy percent, which made the Cordillera Grain Merchants both happy and regretful, happy that they no longer worried about the shortage of food, and could obtain a steady supply of grain, but unfortunately there was no longer the scarce buyer's market in the past, and they had turned their attention to the interior of the empire and the south, where there was still a large market to be developed.

The plummeting food prices and abundant food sources of the Cordillera led the green elves, who had been silent, finally unable to sit still, looking at such a large amount of food piled up in Yale, which was just a stone's throw away, while they were still frugal in the mountains, and even the barbarian tribes that had always been inferior to them had solved the problem of food and clothing, how could such a situation make people sit still? No leader could do that, unless he wanted to be ousted from the position of leader by his people, and the Green Elves had never been a humble race.

Merchants are waiting, waiting for a new market to be opened, and it is a bit difficult to do so.

The Lord's House of the Cordillera has long listed grain as a strategic material, and the export of strategic goods requires a license and a quota, and the merchants are not unaware of the threat from the southern market, and many people seem to forget that there is still a war going on, and the huge profits have stimulated many people to take risks.
