The mission of Hathaway and the others on this trip was top secret, and the people involved in this operation never mentioned it, even the innkeeper and others who had contact with them before, only knew that they were not in Vannal City during this time, and all the people in the rebels who knew that they were in Vannal City were given a gag order, so when they returned to Vannal City, they took a different path, and no one connected the changes in the Alps with their party, and Leonardo. Beirut and the others parted ways with Hathaway outside the city, and they were to return directly to Heidelberg to report to the emperor.

For the next few days, the air in Vannal City suddenly became tense...... Although the refugee problem that has been plaguing people is being resolved, the underground dwarves in the Alps have made a difference, and they have been found less than 100 miles away from the city of Vannar many times.

The number of troops in the city of Vannar has doubled, and the frequency of patrols in and around the city has increased significantly. The nobles and wealthy who had been enjoying life in the manors outside the city were a little overwhelmed, after all, the defense there was far inferior to the walls of Vannar...... However, there are also good things in the bad things, and the law and order in the city was immediately strengthened, and the investigation work was stepped up at the city gate, although there were some routine intentions, and several fugitives with a good case record were even arrested, and the atmosphere and appearance of the city were greatly improved.

Hathaway entered the city this time, but she came with a clear banner, with her identity, those dignitaries of Vannell City naturally came to pay a visit, and Hathaway was also very cooperative, like Goppet. Viscount Green was like this, and he closely cooperated with the nobles of the Cordillera in the recruitment process. Hathaway also paid a visit and gave a few small gifts.

However, Hathaway was not idle, she held a charity gala to raise funds for refugees. This can be regarded as a moral kidnapping, although those people may not really do good, but they also have to give Hathaway a face...... The party raised 145,000 carats, all of which will be used to improve living conditions and food in the camps. During Hathaway's absence, 140,000 people have already embarked on the journey to the Cordillera Plateau, as planned. The rest will leave tomorrow spring. As for those who are reluctant. Hathaway was not worried, and when they learned about the situation of the Cordillera Collar one after another, she was not afraid that they would not be impressed. If they are still stubborn, Hathaway doesn't mind letting them fend for themselves. Anyway, it's not a great sage. It's not worth her four or five invitations.

After this qiē. Hathaway was able to sit free. The Cordillera Territory had already prepared a lot of supplies for wintering, but at that time, I didn't expect that so many people would be relocated at once, and many supplies were still being prepared. And on this side of the refugee camp. Although some donations were raised, it was difficult to buy large quantities of materials such as food and winter cotton clothing. It can only be scattered to a few grain producing areas and cities to buy separately, and as for the fuel problem, there is no need to worry too much, although there is a lack of coal resources here, but the forest resources here are abundant, and heating is not a problem. In addition, there are some other necessities of life, which need to be mobilized in large quantities from other cities, fortunately, because of the merit of Hathaway's operation, titles and money cannot be given, but some convenience is no problem...... Take this passage to the guò navy transport immigrants as an example, although Hathaway also has to pay a fee, but compared to the long journey, not only saves a lot of money, but also avoids the loss of a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is a naval escort, those pirates do not dare to approach at all, and it will not be difficult to defend everywhere, in contrast, there are many benefits, and it is quite worthwhile to risk your life to carry out the mission this time.

"What do you say, Captain Kennett is left, this man is nothing more than an ordinary nobleman. She may use magic, but she's only a first-class magician. "Alain. Stephen said disapprehantly.

Recently, His Excellency the Archbishop has not slept well, and the investigation seems to have entered a dead end, after repeatedly checking the personnel of the Bersington Manor that day, he still did not find any clues worth mentioning, and the investigation has reached a dead end, he doesn't know how to deal with those big people, and even when he went to visit His Majesty the Emperor in the past two days, he felt that the other party's face was full of mocking smiles, but the leader of the Unicorn Knights in front of him actually gave such a clue that was not a clue.

"On the surface, she seems to be a first-class magician, but she just didn't go to the Magic Association to get certified. What I wonder now is, how could she possibly kill Bishop Beyoncé? What is the reason? "Steven. Kennett frowned, as if muttering to himself.

The defection of the Unicorn Knight is a top secret for the Church of Nature, even if it is based on the name of Alain. Stephen's identity is also not known in detail, so Steven. Kennett didn't say anything about it...... In fact, he himself is not sure, Hathaway appeared in both places, this coincidence does make him suspicious, but as a knight, he can't blame others without empirical evidence, especially since the other party has the dual identity of a nobleman and a magician.

"In that case, we're going to send her to the church for review." Alan. Stephen said that he wished he could find a scapegoat, and it didn't matter to him whether Hathaway was the murderer or not.

"It's not that easy."

Steven. Kennett sighed, "You can ask questions, but you must get the consent of His Majesty the Emperor, and you must ask for the consent of the Magic Association." ”

"yes, it's a hassle, but there are things that have to be done." Alan. Stephen's face suddenly darkened.

……

"How can it be!"

With a 'bang', the Velven Eighteen slammed the scepter on the table, "What does the Natural Church want to do?" It's just an investigation, the aristocracy is the foundation of the empire, how can they take it away and ask with a word of 'suspicion'? Know that my empire is not yet affiliated with their natural church! ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

Marquis Abbe comforted softly from the side: "Bishop Beyoncé is an important figure in the church, and it is understandable that they have stepped up their investigation. The current shape is not very good for the Empire, and it is necessary for us to obtain the cooperation of the Church. ”

"If I allow them to treat the nobles like this, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and it will hurt the very foundation of the empire!" Fei Wenlie XVIII said with a gloomy face.

"If we don't agree to this matter, in the present situation, as long as the Church of Nature withdraws its support for the Empire, it will be unfavorable for us to have a war in the future, but if we agree, we can ask for some compensation for Count Bell, after all, it is about the honor of the nobles. However, the premise is that Count Bell can cooperate. Marquis Abbe whispered.

"That's not a bad idea."

Fivinel XVIII pondered for a moment, "You can arrange it, if the church agrees, let the Count of Beirut come over, well, use the magic carriage, and now the Count of Bell should still be in Vannal." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will arrange it immediately." Marquis Abbe replied and bowed down.

……

Vannell City.

The afternoon sun shines in the courtyard, the neatly trimmed nursery is planted with flowers and trees, the flower garden is surrounded by cypresses, an oval ring corridor just goes around the small garden, and the two ends are connected to the corridor of the house, and the green vines are quietly attached to the columns, and occasionally there are broken mottled shadow marks falling in the corridor. The flower beds are lush with green leaves, and it's hard to imagine that it's late autumn.

A round walnut table was placed in the lawn, with a plate of tangerines and a plate of amethyst grapes on top of the table and chairs, a basket of honey bread and a jar of mead from the city of Vannal, and a delicate teapot and several tea bowls upside down on the table, and a wisp of water vapor wafting out of the spout, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Hathaway picked up the teapot and shook it lightly a few times, and a light blue tea liquid was poured into the cup from the spout, and the aroma became more and more intense. She filled the teacup in front of her with liquid tea, and then gently lowered the teapot.

"Thank you!"

Leonardo sitting opposite. Beirut picked up the teacup, but did not drink it immediately, but took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression, and said: "I have also drunk some so-called famous teas in Hathaway, but they are far from the fragrance of the tea you brewed. ”

"Hehe, this is the product of the tea tree that I have cultivated exclusively, and it is impossible to drink it anywhere else." Hathaway said with some smugness.

"Then I'm going to have to taste it even more." Leonardo. Beirut said.

Things have been dealt with on Hathaway's side, and the last batch of refugees are on their way, including Dumeny. Harlang and his subordinates, these people have persisted in fighting in the mountains for two years, and they are definitely the elite soldiers of mountain warfare, and they will be directly incorporated into the city defense army sequence. To her surprise, Leonardo. Not long after Beirut returned, he ran back bumpy, looking very tired, obviously although the journey was a magic carriage, it was very hard.

I don't know what is difficult for him to talk about, but this time he came over and brought Hathaway a set of jewelry...... This is a pair of sapphire stud earrings. Although the sapphire is precious, it is nothing in Hathaway's eyes, but this is a set of alchemy products, and the magic array embedded on it can automatically collect magic elements to form a set of strange force fields, which have a beauty effect, this alchemy product is not very valuable, but it is very popular with women, Leonardo. Beirut is undoubtedly very likable, but Hathaway feels more and more that something is wrong with this guy.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your gift, I like it very much, I didn't expect Your Excellency Earl to have such a good interest and be so thoughtful for a woman. However, the most touching thing is the special trip to Vannal. ”

Hathaway looked at Leonardo, who was a little nervous, with a smirk. Beirut, there was obviously a bit of sarcasm in his tone. (To be continued......)
