Chapter 22 - Homecoming and Placement of Orphans
Because Lu Ming killed Eldridge and was also very powerful, he was able to summon the Shadow Demon and the Seraph, as well as the family of gods such as the Thunderstorm Dragon, so in the next few days, the magicians of the Darker Elves often used the transcript of the magic book as a reward to ask Lu Ming some questions about magic, hoping to get some of his insights from Lu Ming.

In this regard, Lu Ming had no choice but to know everything.
However, it was precisely because of this that he and Lothric were able to get enough copies of the magic book so that the two of them would not lose money on this trip to Dak's Ifa.
Finally, after about seven or eight days of exchange, the academic meeting finally ended, and Lu Ming and Lo Slick were finally able to go home.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Ming and Lothric interceded with the Shadow Church during this time for the prisoner who had gone with them to deal with Eldridge, making her the chief mage under the command of the Earl who had been attacked by Eldridge. Of course, she can't casually devour her soul in the future, otherwise she will still be in a prison cell......
After saying goodbye to the Shadow Church's Priests Kazna and Vegana and several nobles in the city who were familiar with each other, Lu Ming and Lothric set out on their way home in the carriage that the knights had specially recovered.
It's just that in the carriage, Lu Ming looked at Gamilaya and Asilia, with a slight headache, thinking that Lily might really split herself this time......
Because of the previous denial of the reward, Dak'afa's reputation was affected, so this time in the matter of the 7,000 Dak's elf orphans who promised to Gamilaya to take away, Dak'aifa did not deny it at all, but gave all the orphans to Mirakaisa very happily, and had been sent to the county of Helios in the Duchy of Hyperion.
So at this time, in the carriage, Gamilaya and Chimera were discussing how to settle these orphans well without clashing with the large number of elves in the Duchy of Hyperion. After all, although they belong to the same elves, the Darkk elves and the elves have always been very at odds! How to balance the voices of these two sides, so that they can know that the other party is the same as themselves, and there is no difference, has become a big problem, and it weighs heavily on Gamilaya and Chimera, making them have a little headache.
However, while the two of them were having a headache over this, the biggest headache should be Kemias, who was the administrator in the county of Helios.
As Lu Ming's wife, she is the administrator of the county like Sham and Lily, and she is responsible for managing the remnants and diplomacy, and at this moment, looking at these crying Dak elf orphans in front of her, I am afraid that she has the heart to kill Chimera and Gamilaya. As a pure-blooded Elf, she doesn't like Dark's Elf at all!
But the problem is that these Dak elven orphans are now the children of the county of Helios, and they must be settled. This gave her a lot of headaches.
The Darkk Elves do not believe in the God of Light, so it is unrealistic to ask the Church of Light, the church spokesperson who manages the church of Light in the Earls of Helios, to help, and it is even more problematic to hand it over to the elven knights under his command.
So she had no choice but to ask Mena, a vampire who didn't participate in politics and knew how to count money in her little coffers all day long, to help.
As a vampire, Mena has no prejudice against either elves and Dak elves, so she is a very good helper. Moreover, the Duck Elves, like vampires, don't like the sun, which allows Mena and some of her vampire maids to take good care of these children.
As for the number of people, he had to turn to Filner for help. She still has a very, very large number of men!
However, Filner's answer surprised her a little.
"Let my servants help you, but I want some of those children to join my caravan and do things for me!" Sitting in his office, Ferner, who was the tax collector of the two principalities of Erepos and Hyperion at the same time, said to Kemias with a malicious smile.
"Isn't that right? Isn't it a little bad that Gamilaya guy finally got those orphans, and if he didn't say a word to her, he just started to divide up those orphans? Because of the need for others and the loss, Kemias, who has always been arrogant, was a little weak in front of Filner for the first time.
"I don't know anything else, but I know these orphans, they were bought back by my husband for real magical research materials! Just because she's a high priest who doesn't have much say in the Shadow Church, she wants the royal family and nobles of the Dak Elves, her rival, to give so many orphans...... It's absolutely impossible! Filner's eyes flashed with a very dangerous gleam, which made Kemias subconsciously take a step back, and then showed an even more dangerous smile, and said, "If she has any dissatisfaction, let her come to me." I'm going to see how Sham can protect this disobedient stupid girl this time! ”
As he spoke, Filner accidentally broke the pen in his hand.
"I'm sorry, I still have work to do." Laughing at the fact that he threw his broken pen into the trash can and wiped his hands with a towel, Filner said with a look of impatience, "So please make a decision quickly." Otherwise, I'll even cut off your financial resources! ”
As the person who manages most of the family's wealth and money, Filner is very powerful, and like Lily and Filner, he is deeply feared by everyone. After all, no one wants to be inexplicably cut off from their financial resources......
knows that in this family, except for Lu Ming, the only people who are not afraid of Filner are Lily, Sham and Mena, three people who have their own independent financial resources. None of the others were spared but to submit to the shadow of Filner's terror, and even the Grand Duke of Raman Rath had offended her by a word, and had to beg Filner for mercy after a whole day of gnawing on black bread.
So after hearing Filner's threat, Kemias immediately confessed without the backbone of the elves.
"Please let me go! Your proposal, I will carry it out unconditionally! ”
"Good. Go ahead! Seeing that Kemias had obediently succumbed, Filner smiled very happily, and at the same time used another fountain pen to write a transfer document to Kemias, asking the official caravan to go to the county to transfer people.
Walking out of Filner's office, Kemias stood outside the door with the transfer papers, and at this moment her heart was broken.
Why am I still so afraid of her after all these years?' Is it because what happened back then hurt me too deeply? Kemias thought to herself with tears in her heart. After a while, she recovered, took the papers, and went to the caravan to transfer people.
Although there are often mercenaries on the caravan's side, after another mercenary who didn't know Filner's identity planned to do something to Filner, a big beauty in a wheelchair, but was beaten by thousands of female knights who didn't know where to run out, no mercenary dared to mess around in Lu Ming's territory. Therefore, as soon as they saw Kemias coming with the papers, their first reaction was nothing else, but to hide as soon as possible, lest they themselves be beaten by the knights.
Moreover, not to mention that Kemias, the administrator, is dressed in aristocratic clothes, and she herself is a dragon slayer! TMD, who dares to mess with it!?
Because of his strength, status, and the document in his hand, Kemias quickly transferred a group of people from the caravan to help settle those Dak elf orphans.
It's just that because a group of people have been transferred, there is a vacancy in the number of official caravans in the county, and the second-in-command of the caravan, Filner's personal guard female knight, has no choice but to temporarily collect some elves from the city to act as the staff of the caravan, lest there be problems with the merchants in a few days, causing her and a bunch of people under her to be deducted from Filner's salary.
As Kemias handed over a small part of the Darken elf orphans to Filna in order to settle those Darker elf orphans, Mena, who was very willing to help, couldn't help but leave a dozen orphans to work as apprentices in a series of shops such as her magic supply shop, mercenary hotel, and little bat clothing store.
In this way, Kemias suddenly had a very uneasy feeling. Because she seemed to see Yur Sika standing outside her office, waiting for her......
-----------------------------------
When he got home, Lu Ming got down from the carriage as soon as possible, and moved his body, which was a little stiff because he had been in the carriage for several days.
And the three daughters of Chimera, Gamilaya, and Asilia also got out of the carriage by themselves, looking at the very huge Earl's Palace, and couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of broken house are we living in these days~!" In order to vent the crampedness and oldness of the temporary mansion where he lived in the Darke Elven Empire.
It's just that not long after they returned home, Lu Ming, who was indulging in the gentle countryside of Lily, Sham, and Filner, was frightened by a strange cry from Gamilaya.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the bathroom, Lu Ming ran to where Gamilaya was.
As a result, Gamilaya, who was talking to Kemias, was looking at him with an aggrieved expression that wanted to cry, so that he didn't know what was going on.
At this time, Kemias sighed helplessly and said, "The seven thousand Dak elf orphans were divided by Lily, Sham, and Filner, and she couldn't accept it ...... Gamilaya."
"What's that!? That's 2,000 Darkk elves!! It's not a commodity, why are they robbing me of those orphans who I use to balance the number of elves in the county!? Before Kemias could finish speaking, Gamilaya screamed, much to Kemias's embarrassment and anger. Because Gamilaya wants those Dak elven orphans so that there are no longer so many elves in the proportion of the earl's people......
However, without Kemias' own shot, the three Lily outside the door would be enough for Gamilaya to drink a pot!
"Girl, you just sued the three of us?" Suddenly, Sham's words reached Gamilaya's ears, and Gamilaya brushed it directly, hid behind Lu Ming, and looked at her, Lily, and Filna with a look of fear. It was like a little hen that saw three eagles, and she trembled with fear.
"Alright, okay, don't make a fuss. Isn't it just two thousand Dak elves? Anyway, it's all in the territory, so who will settle it not be settled? Seeing that Gamilaya was frightened by Lily, Sham, and Finner, and knew that she couldn't fight the three of them, Lu Ming pulled a fight in the middle and persuaded Gamilaya.
As soon as Gamilaya heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and with an inspired expression, she said, "Yes! ”
"......" Kemias looked at Gamilaya speechlessly, thinking that she had signed so many overlord treaties these days, and she was worried that she would not be able to think about what she had forgotten. Whether this girl is before or after martyrdom, she is not confused about big things, but she is confused about small things to death! I'm really good to her for nothing!
may have been annoyed by Gamilaya's brain that couldn't turn around in small things, and Sham slapped her ass hard, so that she couldn't help screaming, and hid in Lu Ming's arms with tears in her eyes, lest Sham and Lily continue to beat herself.
However, they wouldn't beat her again. Otherwise, Lu Ming would have been angry. It's just a punishment, and it doesn't end there. In the next few days, her life was very difficult, and even her basic life had to rely on Lu Ming's husband and Mena and You'er Sika, these 'sisters'.
In addition, Chimera also suffered the same revenge from Lily, Sham, and Filner because of Gamilaya. made her bitter and couldn't say it, so she could only stick to Lu Ming all day long and let him plead for herself.
After two or three days, when Lily, Sham, and Finner's anger had almost subsided, Lu Ming casually found an opportunity to let Sham and the others let Chimera and Gamilaya go.
In addition, he also helped Gamilaya and Chimera to settle the orphans of the Darker elves one by one. The most terrifying thing is that he actually let the elven couple willingly adopt these Dak elf orphans, and these elf adoptive parents treat these Dak elf orphans like their own children. This shocked many people!
But in the end, no one knows how he did it. After all, if he didn't say it, they wouldn't dare ask.
In the past few days, Lu Ming has been improving his magic by going to the magic school from time to time through the teleportation magic station, making these already very powerful magic faster and stronger.
The battle with Eldridge made Lu Ming know the shortcomings of his magic, that is, the magic speed of the compression system was too slow, and the blood moon system consumed too much mana. He had to create a magic of his own, a magic that was truly practical and powerful!
Some of the plans of the Sons of Blood and the gods of the Elves of Alpha did not reassure him.
What's more, after returning to the Duchy of Hyperion, the fire ceremonial grounds on the border have been attracting him to bring Eldridge's royal salary with him......
