"Alan, this is the agreement signed between the Agu family and the dwarves, whoever owns it will own the mining area in Capra Mountain, and the most important thing is that he will get the help of the dwarves, otherwise it will be easier said than done to dig minerals in the belly of the mountain, but now it makes no sense to us, I will hand him over to you. I hope you can put this resource to good use for the benefit of the Gothas. Also, be kind to Selena!"

Before Lady Aqua boarded the ship, she handed a heavy leather scroll into Alan's hand, on which the ancient text recorded the past glory of the Ogu family, but from this moment on, it changed hands along with the agreement. Unlike her husband's disheartenedness, Madame Ogu remained calm and calm, even with a heartfelt smile, as if what she had just handed over was not power and wealth, but a roll of waste paper. Perhaps being away from power and strife is the life she has always wanted.

"Madame, rest assured. ”

Watching the boat carrying the Hollanster couple and a few surviving servants head downstream in the twilight, Alan clutched the agreement in his hand with mixed feelings. For the ancient city of Oku, an old era is over, and a new era has begun, but in this new era, how to lead the Gossars to break through the shackles of the old era and welcome a better future, he has not yet completely figured out, and now he can only take one step at a time. But the first thing to pass is Yus.

Returning from the Capra River, Alan first went to see Selena and returned the agreement that Lady Ogu had given him.

"This is a gift from my parents, I can't ask for it. ”

Unexpectedly, Selena pushed the agreement back, and her attitude was very resolute, and in desperation, Alan could only accept it for the time being. After seeing Selena, he went to Steven's study again, just in time to see Steven scolding Quake.

"Stanny told me, this guy is lawless, brother-in-law, what do you say. ”

Seeing Alan, Steven said angrily.

"Forget it. ”

Alan said indifferently.

"If you let me know that you are disrespectful to your brother-in-law, I will have your head. Don't get out of here!"

Steven kicks Quake, who turns around and runs away as soon as he gets amnesty.

"This man was a bit reckless, but he was unusually loyal to us. ”

Looking at the back of Quake's departure, Steven added.

"I'm here to talk to you and Kevin about the next negotiation with Reinhardt. The city-state is currently in a precarious situation, and we need a transition period. ”

Alan didn't take Steven's words, but told his intentions.

"Okay! I'm going to call Kevin over. ”

Steven said yes and called the servant to get Kevin over.

That night, the three of them studied in the study until midnight. The next day, Allen took the initiative to make an appointment with Reinhardt, and the two sides talked for most of the day in the council chamber of the ancient city of Ochengcheng, and it was almost time for dinner to reach an agreement.

The next day, Kevin, the chief trade officer, reached a trade package with Reinhardt on behalf of the city-state, which included a large deal in grain and weapons, although there were some conditions attached to these deals, but they were not made public.

The day after the deal was concluded, the cadets stationed on the outskirts of Aogu withdrew their troops and returned to the militia camp in Tiesong Town, while gossip began to spread in the cadet camp. The head of the regiment, Allen, and Yus reached an agreement, Yus would provide food for the Cadets, and the fully supplied Cadets would soon go north to the grasslands to assist the Northern Legion of Yus in dealing with the orcs.

People who heard this gossip were both excited and nervous. The excitement is that their desire to return home is not a dream, and the nervous thing is that they are about to face a powerful orc army, although in the battle against the orcs to fight the autumn hunt, the officers and soldiers of the Youth Regiment have completely overcome their psychological fear of orcs, but at that time they were only facing a small group of wolf cavalry of orcs, and their combat effectiveness is still far from the real orc army. This self-knowledge led the entire KCU to take action, speeding up the progress of the army expansion and strengthening training at the same time. Harvey and Stanny spend their days staring at the barracks, and Miranda is called in to be the teacher who trains everyone's agility. Elvis is busy with Elton and Sean on the relocation of the Magic Primary School, since the ancient city of Ao is now completely in the hands of his own people, it is time to move the magic elementary school there, after all, the conditions of the ancient city of Ao are better, which is more conducive to expanding the influence of the magic elementary school.

When everyone was busy, Allen explained to Steven and Kevin, and left the ancient city of Aogu quietly and went to the depths of Capra Mountain alone. The purpose of his visit this time was to deal with the affairs between the Agu family and the dwarves, and he wanted to make the dwarves understand that from today on, he was responsible for the rights and responsibilities that the Agu family should have assumed in the agreement.

Eren was gone for half a month, and when he came back, he was not alone, but took a few dwarves out of the mountain together, including Allen's old friend, the blacksmith Thorne.

Thorne has been researching how to smelt and forge the black stone that appears to be a celestial star stone ever since he got his hands on it. However, no matter what means are taken, the speed will be very slow, and Alan may not have the opportunity to meet it in his life.

While Thorne was struggling to think of a new plan, Eren approached him and told him that he had a plan that would greatly increase the speed of the forge. So Thorne rushed back with a few apprentices.

Alan ordered a place near the forge and built a device for the forge.

"Who can wield such a big forging hammer?"

Seeing the huge hammer head on the device, which was nearly three feet in diameter, Thorne shook his shoulders and thought he couldn't even lift it.

"This is a magic array-driven forging device, and you don't need a person to dance the hammer. ”

After explaining, Eren threw the scene to Master Thorne, and when he returned home, he spent another week making several sets of magic arrays. Then he personally installed the magic array on the forging device, and after everything was adjusted, Alan activated the magic array.

"Boom, boom!"

The loud and rhythmic sound of the hammer echoes through the mountains, and can be heard clearly even from home in the town of Iron Pine.

"It's a miracle..."

Master Thorne was stunned, he never dreamed that the magic array could replace the dwarves for tireless forging, and it was faster and more efficient. Usually it takes ten years to forge a sword, but now it may only take a few months.

"When the energy in the magic crystal runs out, replace it. ”

Alan left behind a magic array that automatically replenishes demons and more than a dozen qi-based magic crystals, and before leaving, he admonished:

"Master, I'll leave it to you here. ”

Leaving Iron Pine Town, Alan returned to the ancient city of Ao, where he was busy for several days receiving different visitors, including nobles and merchants, natives of the ancient city-state of Ao, and outsiders. These people have been waiting for Alan to come back, and they have only one purpose for seeing Allen: to find out all kinds of information!

There is no doubt that the coup d'état that took place in the ancient city state of Okugu attracted the attention of various forces in the Noah continent, and they all set their eyes on this mercenary kingdom to see what changes the new ruler would bring to the city-state and how it would affect the political power structure of the entire continent.

But before they could figure it out, in the south of the ancient city of Aogucheng, a major event occurred that shocked the entire continent, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
