"I'd like to, but unfortunately that's not our goal." He shook his head, not showing regret.

Approaching is the commercial heart of Aruma, Zishande, an excellent producer of the Golden Côte Pinot Noir and the most important value of the province of Aruma. Although a large border province like this is controlled by the ancient Longfa family, the area adjacent to the wilderness is somewhat chaotic due to its self-contained system, and most nobles are reluctant to take over. Now as the lord of Qi Shangde City, he is the younger brother of the Grand Duke of Aruma, sitting on the border as an earl, perhaps it is precisely because of Qi Shangde's commercial value that he will deign to come here.

The news was inquired by Albert, Green was not familiar with this Count of Zishand, most of the nobles at this time were greedy and short-sighted, and most of the lords who occupied one side of the land were harsh and violent characters, and it was estimated that this Count Zishande was not much better. Green didn't have any good feelings from the bottom of his heart, but fortunately the place he chose didn't have much to do with it, and although he couldn't rely on Golden Hill Red Wine to make money, it saved him a lot of trouble.

Lilith had a look of disappointment on her face, "That's right......"

Although the girl's mind is changeable, for this caged finch, love is like a color painted on white paper, and the table is clear at a glance. Green couldn't help but smile and beat the horse closer to her, "You like it here?" ”

Lilith hesitated, then nodded.

The location of their travel, in the Golden Hill outside of Zishand, not far from the Valley of the Night, where Pinot Noir grapes are abundant, can be seen in the vast expanse of cultivation. In order to prevent pests and diseases early, vineyards tend to grow more delicate roses in each section. The two-phase foil adds a piece of beauty.

"Amazing words. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, our territory. Still going south. Green imagined the end of the trip, it probably wouldn't be worse than he predicted, but he wasn't discouraged, it was the best place for the boy, both geographically and strategically, "But if it's about the study of magic, I think you'll be satisfied, besides." If you really like it, our territory is not too far from here, you can buy some and go back, and you can also enjoy the fun of planting with your own hands, can't you? ”

The boy's words finally touched Lilith's heart, and she looked up, her eyes shining with anticipation.

That's right.

Green smiled with satisfaction, and noticed the peasants running from the front, and took off their hats in horror at the sight of his group. The boy nodded slightly, not paying much attention.

"Your Highness Green," Albert leaned over again, the smile on his face simply red. Naked ill-intentioned. "In fact, if you want me to say it, Qi Shangde is indeed worth a lot of money, and the commercial use is more than that. It is very good for our early development. ”

"That's Grand Duke Aruma's domain, what do you think of our petty actions. Can you hide it from him? Grimm glanced at the mage.

"Maybe we don't have to hide it?" Albert grabbed the chestnut staff in one hand, inexplicably excited. "Have you ever wondered...... Big moves? ”

"Big moves? What do you mean? ”

Albert gestured in the air to the location of this area, "You see, Zishand is almost the last line of defense stuck between us and the Kingdom of Rodland, although it seems to me that it has no defensive significance, but it is also a city, more strategic than the village close to us, maybe you should find a way to take it?" ”

Take? I thought, why take it? Do you think this is Green's Ambition to fight when he says he will fight?

The young man snorted and ignored Al.

"Well, maybe we didn't have a reason to do it at first, but since it's a border area, the rule of the kingdom must have weakened to a certain point, we can spread some rumors, assassinate some important people, etc., and wait until Qi Shangde's foundation is unstable, and use Ah Bu to create some chaos - of course, that will be when I regain my strength, at least when I can use the mirror technique, but all in all, aren't you interested in this rich land?"

Green glanced at him, "Are you encouraging me to attack a nobleman of the kingdom, a legitimate lord?" ”

"It's just about your best interests."

"Hmph, if I'm not mistaken, it's an act of splitting the country, and you're really bold."

"Where, where, you've won a prize." Albert responded with a smile.

Al's words may sound counterproductive, but for Green, who has a modern soul in his own right, it is not an unacceptable statement.

What's more, what the Dark Wizard said was also Green's first thought after learning about the location of his territory.

Initially, when choosing territory, Green kept reminding them that time was pressing, and they didn't have time to build a city out of nothing, so Albert thought of a solution - to occupy a ready-made piece of land. Of course, this is not a very clever suggestion, and the current Green does not have the strength to clash with the lords, so Albert made a compromise plan.

Occupy an area that was once called a "territory".

As a servant of the Sons of Uniform, Albert knew many things that Assesis did not know, such as the secrets of the other Sons of Uniforms. The continent of Cabez is not always peaceful, in the era of frequent strife, some of the sons of military uniforms also had their own territory, but now, most of them have been deserted, and the young dark wizard said that Grimm can choose and inherit. In the end, Green chose an abandoned city close to the border of Aruma Province.

According to Albert's recollection, it was supposed to be the domain of the Seventh Son of Uniform, who was part of a supposedly great organization and led the construction of the stronghold in order to fight the opponents, but later the organization angered the tyrant of a small country, and the stronghold was attacked by the army, who evacuated the stronghold in order to ensure the safety of the personnel, and the army destroyed the city in anger, and eventually became a ruin that did not belong to any country.

Geographically, the domain of Count Zishande was almost next to his future domain, and a strange power was seen rising. Presumably, the lord must be lonely, and he does have a reason to use a knife against the other party. What's more, just wait another three or four months. The evil camp launches a real offensive, and everyone is in danger when it comes. With all the country's forces concentrated on the battlefield, no one pays attention to what happens to a small town on the southern border.

"You better focus on how to restore that territory, don't forget, it's the territory you recommended, and if you don't meet my requirements, you'll be punished." The future was put aside, and Green decided to dispel Albert's "arrogance" first.

"You'd better spare me......" The Dark Wizard immediately begged for mercy with a wry smile.

The two of them talked in a whisper, not too shy away from the nobleman's daughter, and Lilith almost stopped the words of the two of them. However, she is not from the Kingdom of Rhodesland. Endymion's aristocracy was also very different, and a large part of the reason for her trip was her admiration for Grimm, perhaps also to pursue her own life, but she was very interested in such more adventurous things.

But her face soon changed.

The sun was shining and the group rode a fork in the road into the valley. This is a border village far from Zishand, and without the rich land suitable for Aruma Pinot Noir to grow, the cruelest side of the kingdom is truly revealed to the noble maiden.

It was as if the warm sun had abandoned the place, and the light on the way forward gradually dimmed, and the pungent smell of livestock hit me. Lilith couldn't help but frown. The group soon entered the village, and the sign at the entrance of the village was tattered and crooked on a wooden stake, bumping back and forth with the drifting wind, making a lonely sound. The village is full of dilapidated thatched houses. Yellow-faced and skinny villagers come into view, men swinging hoes across the barren land, and women staring blankly. He was still holding his child in his hand.

Are these the people of the kingdom? Everybody has this doubt, if they have to describe it. There is only the word refugee.

Obviously under the same blue sky, as a citizen of the kingdom. Like the rest of the people, they dwelt in the province of Aruma and were under the jurisdiction of the city of Zishand, but a valley alone was like an impassable moat, separating the rich from the poor like life and death. Green understands that such things are not uncommon, in this strange and fantastical continent, people only pay attention to the glamorous scene, but the darkness in the corners is often forgotten, and the high nobles do not know the pain of the poor people who are struggling to survive.

The sight of these people living in hardship, scrawny people slumped under the houses, stiffened to endure the cold sewage beneath them, was unbearable for both Lilith and Albert, and even Assesis frowned. But this is the reality, the cruel reality that they have to face, they are lonely and helpless, even if they want to escape, they have neither the courage nor the strength to escape.

There is no way to avoid it.

Green sighed, and he lowered his head, suggesting to himself that at least they still had land to cultivate, and although it was barren, it was enough for people to live.

No matter how exciting the adventure is, every time he sees this real scene, the chilling feeling will always make him feel like he is on pins and needles.

A group of four people rode through the village in silence under the curious eyes of the children of the village, and seeing that they were about to leave the confines of the village, Lilith's low exclamation finally stirred Grimm's already sensitive nerves.

At the end of the village, several men dressed in very different ways were grabbing a girl dressed as a peasant, smiling and tearing at her clothes. It may be a younger age than Green, but in the midst of the struggle, the pity and spirituality revealed by the black bright eyes hit the depths of Green's heart.

"Ahh Stinky. Son bite me! ”

Someone shouted, and the leader immediately walked over with a short stick, "Let her down, I'll clean her up!" ”

"So you're satisfied? Bring a hammer. ”

"Knock out her teeth!"

Fierce men immediately surrounded him.

"It's Qi Shangde's aristocratic private soldier."

Albert saw that the badge they wore on their bodies, although it was different from the family crest of the Longfa family, was undoubtedly born from the Earl of Tsishand, so he whispered in Green's ear.

At this moment, a loud slap was thrown, and the girl screamed in horror and tried to run backwards, but was fiercely pressed to the ground by two noble private soldiers.

"What are they, what are they doing? Why shoot at such a young child? Lilith couldn't bear to grasp the collar on her chest with one hand, and she didn't even notice the folds of the collar flower. In her limited knowledge, she has seen danger, she has seen killing, she has seen that it is called fighting, what is it? How many adult men bullied their children? This is clearly cruel bullying!

"Probably to the nobles of Qi Shangde." Green sighed softly, "The training before being sent to the city, in order to smooth the edge of these villagers, so as not to anger those nobles. ”

"Humans."

Assesis snorted heavily, just two words, but the other three were speechless, and only the man's shouts and the girl's painful moans were intertwined in everyone's ears. (To be continued......)
