On the third day after the inhabitants of Ark Harbor returned to the city, a team arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ。 :。 At the front of the line was a carriage, and behind it was a guard. The window on one side of the carriage was opened, and Edward looked out. Outside the window, the wilderness has been transformed into a rudimentary field, where the farmer is plowing the land and the 'woman' is sowing the seeds.

Then the party stopped a few men, dressed in rudimentary leather armor and holding swords that didn't look very sharp. Their physique, in particular, looked less like soldiers and more like peasants in gear.

The first man shouted, "We are from the militia, who are you?" ”

Edward turned on the carriage and said lightly, "I want to see Orlando." ”

There is hardly anyone who does not know Edward, and many people know that although Edward is only an earl, he takes care of the territory for Marquis Allen, so he has more power than the marquis. Seeing that it was him, the man of the militia group quickly knelt down, and the man who looked like the leader replied: "Lord Orlando and everyone are working in the city, I will go and inform him immediately." ”

After telling his companion to take Edward to Jora first, the man hurriedly jumped on a horse and went into the city.

Edward's carriage finally stopped in front of a tent, and when he got out of the car, he saw that the tent was opened, and Jola and the two 'maids' came out, and said politely but coldly: "Good morning, Count Edward, what is the wind that has brought you here?" ”

"Good day, Jola 'woman'." Edward said, "The conditions here are limited, and you are pregnant, why don't you consider returning to Castle of Dawn?" ”

"I have a heart." Ruola said lightly: "Although the environment here is not as good as that of Dawn Castle, this place has always been my hometown. I'd love to stay here, besides, I can't trust you, Earl Edward. ”

Edward nodded: "You are honest, I know you have a misunderstanding, and I don't want to defend myself." All I can say is that every decision made is for the bigger picture. Since Madame is reluctant to go back, then I am not reluctant. ”

Jora turned to the side and said, "Please come in." ”

Walking into the tent with Edward, Jora said, "Go and pour two glasses of water." ”

Then he said to Edward, "I'm sorry, but the conditions here are limited, but there are no drinks to greet you." ”

"It's okay." Edward said, "I brought some food by the way, Madame needs nutrition now, so please be sure to take it." ”

"Then you're welcome."

The two chatted nonchalantly, and half an hour later, Orlando came in. Edward froze when he saw him, Orlando took off his armor and clothes, and now looked no different from the workers. He also wore a 'wool' scarf on his shoulders, and was wiping his sweat with the 'wool' towel, and first took a glass of water from the 'waiter' and 'woman' and drank it before he smiled: "Let the earl laugh." ”

"Orlando, I want to talk to you." Edward shook his head and said directly.

Jola got up and said, "I'll go outside and talk." ”

She also took the two 'women' and 'waiters' away.

When there was no one else in the tent, Edward stood up and said in a deep voice, "It is too reckless and unwise for you to do this. I can understand that I want to rebuild Ark Harbor, but why can't I endure it for a while? ”

"Don't you know what's going on now? The patients of the fever had changed into monsters, and these monsters had disappeared for a time. But now that they're back, many parts of the empire have been attacked by monsters, even though there's no movement on our side. But sooner or later, will they appear, is it really appropriate for you to rebuild the city at this time? In case a monster appears, tell me how you can protect your people. Is it on your own, or on the militia groups that don't go into the stream at all? ”

Orlando looked at him with a grin and broke a piece of bread and handed it over. Edward shook his head, of course he didn't pick it up. Orlando was not polite, tearing off a piece and throwing it in his mouth. While chewing, he said, "Earl, be honest. If it's really a monster, we really can't hold it. But can you? I've heard that those monsters are not simple, even the imperial capital and the army of the Panlong Empire have suffered, but I'm afraid that if the monster army really arrives, you won't be able to repel them. ”

"Perhaps, but at least, I can buy my lords time to retreat. And you, as soon as the monster arrives, there are immediately corpses all over the place, and that's the difference! ”

Orlando raised his hand and waved it, "Okay, okay, you're right." But my lord, I don't want to, but people miss home so much that I have to think about it. Otherwise, even if I don't allow them to come back, they will come back secretly. In fact, many people have secretly returned here before this, and I just obeyed the people's wishes. ”

"Our home is here, and only here can they find their true selves. So you see, even if you die here, everybody still has to come back. I understand your kindness, but please understand our feelings. ”

Edward looked at him and sighed after a moment, "Well, since this is the decision of all of you, I will not force it. I'll go back now, and in three days I'll bring you building materials and food, and an army. Don't expect this army to be strong, but at least stronger than your militia regiments. ”

Orlando swallowed the bread in two bites, clapped his hands and stretched out to Edward, "It's so exciting." ”

Edward reached out and shook his crumb-clinged hand, saying, "For all your words, if it's really impossible to do anything, retreat anyway." As long as I'm not dead, Bauhinia 'Flower' City will be able to provide you with shelter. ”

"I see."

Around noon, Edward left. As the Orlando team left, Jola took Orlando's hand and said, "Is he so kind?" ”

Orlando grinned, "Edward is indeed a scheming man, and we have used him many times, and he may even have thought about giving up on me. But one thing I'm sure of is that he wouldn't lie about such things. The things that should be sent will be sent in batches, and the army will arrive as scheduled, but the affection between us and him will be used up accordingly. ”

"If you calculate it in this way, there is probably not much love left between the two of us."

Listening to Orlando's words, Jora sighed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have supported everyone coming back." ”

"It's none of your business, I want to come back. After all, the taste of sending people under the fence is really uncomfortable. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several men ran over and said loudly: "Lord Orlando, the city construction site wants you to go back, the reconstruction map of the White Fort has been drawn, but the details still need to be finalized by you." ”

"Okay, I'll go back now." Orlando cupped Jora's face and smiled, "I'm going back to work, you can go and rest." I believe it won't be long before you'll be back at White Castle. ”

"Well, I believe." Jora laughed, her eyebrows and eyes full of happiness.
