Tue, the Devourer will not know until he dies where the loophole in the oath made by the other party is, because Donald did not make a move at all, but the hand of the bronze dragon Nozdorm.

At that time, Donald thought that the goddess of agriculture was also a comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side with him, and it was more reliable to choose the goddess of agriculture than to choose other unfamiliar true gods. Anyway, he won't really break his oath, but Nozdorm is the one who did it!

What's more, Tang Dide thinks that even if he really violates his oath, he should not be punished, the Book of Truth, a guy who has mastered many laws, is the best at exploiting loopholes in contracts and rules, and the calculation speed surpasses that of the supercomputer in the previous life, and any situation can basically be calculated in the first time. At the beginning, he relied on the loopholes in the contract to steal the power of the abyss, and he did things like the will of the abyss with ease, let alone a small oath?

You see, he didn't say what kind of punishment he would be punished when he swore an oath. This kind of oath to the true god has already involved rules, and the usual practice is that once a mortal breaks the oath, then the worst will be fulfilled, and the true god will send down the divine punishment very justly.

If one takes sides and does not act, then the true God will also be resisted by the rules. But there are also loopholes to follow, that is, like Donald, he did not say what kind of punishment he would receive after breaking his oath, so whether the punishment was light or severe was determined by the true God, then maybe it was a simple fine of money, and so on.

That's why Donald boldly swore in the name of the goddess of agriculture, and it was naturally impossible for the Tue Devourer to know the inside story.

When collecting the carcass of the golden benthic mobfish, the Book of Truth accidentally discovers the items hidden in its body. Curious, Donald dissected the monster's xiōng chamber and took out a piece of amber sè crystals the size of a walnut from it, which was very hard in his hand, but there seemed to be light flowing inside.

"It's ......"

Donald had a guess in his mind, but the Book of Truth had already given the correct answer.

"Faith crystallization? that's why this benthic demon fish is able to use divine power at the Golden Rank?"

The crystallization of faith is the crystallization of the power of faith that is so strong that it cannot be lost, and it is also accumulated by a steady stream of new faith power, so it can only condense and condense by itself.

What an unexpected surprise, could it be the fishmen? Donald easily figured out the key.

"Yes, the benthic devilfish is good at enslaving creatures, and the wisdom of the toothed fish people is not high, so it is easy to be míhuò by it, and then worship this benthic devilfish as a god. According to Earl Layton's account, those fishmen were protected by the sea lord decades ago, and the power of belief that tens of thousands of fishmen have been worshiping and sacrificing for nearly a hundred years is a lot of money for those true gods. ”

According to Donald's estimate, this is also the knowledge of this benthic demon fish, although it knows some knowledge of transforming the power of faith into divine power, but in the end it is only a layman, and the realm cannot be reached, and it is basically impossible to transform much divine power by relying on external forces, so it is possible to leave so many faith crystals.

As soon as the benthic devil fish dies, even if there is no pressure from the bronze dragon, it is estimated that those sea beasts will completely disperse, generally this kind of aquatic sea beasts will rarely get close to the shallow sea area, just like the beasts in the mountains and forests, humans are afraid of them, they are also afraid of humans, unless they are hungry, injured or feel threatened, they usually do not take the initiative to attack humans.

Even if the Sea Lord, who posed the greatest threat to Layton Harbor, was solved, Donald was greeted by the admiring and adoring eyes of everyone when he returned to the city, and the voices of countless cheers.

"Lord Earl, the crisis of the sea beast siege has now been contacted, but I still have a little thing to do, so I am not in a hurry to discuss the matter of trade cooperation, not to mention that the order here in the port also needs to be restored!"

With that, Donald simply said goodbye to the high-ranking people of Leighton Harbor, and then took his people back to the room arranged by the Earl of Leighton under the pretext of resting.

Seeing Donald summon everyone into the room and order the musketeer guards to guard outside the door, Catherine knew that her man must have such a plan, so she asked, "Donald, do you have something to discuss?"

She had seen her man show his might on the battlefield before, and she also felt honored. I was deeply proud and proud of my choice of this man, and many young masters and lords of big families coveted her, but she relied on the queen's prestige and did not give anyone a response. It seems that today's choice is really correct, otherwise to become the lover of those gentlemen, where can it be compared to being so free and wishful now?

Donald smiled and replied, "Yes! Catherine, you're smart!"

In fact, Donald had other plans in mind.

That is, as soon as the benthic devil fish dies, those who have lost their backers are not afraid, and now the port of Layton needs to be busy because of the port losses caused by the war and the recall of civilians, and when they come to their senses, they will definitely not let go of this great opportunity to eradicate the hidden danger that has been blocking the door of the house.

But Donald wouldn't allow them to do that, not because he also had a crush on the Fish-Man Islands.

According to the previous Earl of Leighton, the location of the archipelago is very good, relying on the Bay of Falling Stars, in a sheltered position with little wind and tide, the storm and cold current and other phenomena from the north and south direction through the buffer of the bay, are all blocked out of the bay, and the area is not small, the largest island is almost less than the Barony of Red Maple, and there are many other small and medium-sized islands together, if it is developed, it must be a good island territory and resort, their Leighton family took a fancy to that territory a hundred years ago, but those islands were occupied by a group of migrating sea beasts at that time, and the strength is not bad, if you want to expel these sea beasts, their family may also have to pay a lot of price.

So this delay dragged on until the appearance of the Tooth Fishmen, and by the time the Layton family was ready to make a move, those Fishmen had a sea lord to shelter, which was far from an existence that their family could fight.

There is a golden powerhouse in the kingdom, but the price of asking a golden powerhouse to make a move is probably close to half of the value of the island, not to mention that the human powerhouses on the continent and the golden holy beasts in the oceans and other forests and mountains have agreed that the existence of the gold level must not enter the territory of the other party for no reason, except for passing by, otherwise the strong people of a certain party have the right to attack it in groups.

So because of this agreement to maintain peace on the mainland, Leighton Harbor and the nearby human territory were at peace with those fishmen, and decades passed like this.

Considering the advice given by Her Majesty the Queen when he was in the royal capital, Donald felt that it was really necessary for him to acquire another territory outside of the North County, so that even if he did not plan to have other women in the future, he could divide it among his descendants.

In the same way, don't put your eggs in the same basket, if the Merinna family only has the territory of Dalaran, it will be easy for people to take advantage of future accidents. If there are two territories, if one goes wrong, there will also be a backup base. It is not easy to be defeated by the enemy with a single blow.

Although Donald is very confident in the strength of himself and his territory, there are people outside the world, and before he has absolutely strong strength, he feels that it is better to keep a low profile and be cautious.

With such a good opportunity this time, Donald naturally had to seize it in time, so as not to make a lot of hard work and cheapen others.

After telling her thoughts to her subordinates, Catherine and Jesse, who knew the most about these circles between the court and the nobles, immediately put forward a lot of favorable opinions.

Of course, how to deal with this matter also needs some thought. The men deliberated in the room for half an hour, and finally decided to divide the matter into three parties, trying to get the matter done as safely as possible.

On the one hand, Donald and Kael'thas took the powerful bronze dragon of Nozdorm to wipe out the fish-man tribe, and lost the powerful backer of the sea lord, the benthic demon fish, and those sharp-toothed fishmen with the highest silver strength should not have much ability to resist.

As for the port of Leighton, Jesse and Augusta were first entrusted with the communication with the local nobles, and by negotiating trade between the two places, their own purpose was vaguely revealed. Of course, the main thing depends on the attitude of the Earl of Layton.

Finally, it's a matter of the royal capital.

In order to successfully pass the review and officially obtain the ownership of the territory, a joint decision of the royal family and the noble council is required. You must know that this time is no better than the previous small piece of knight territory in the deep mountains and old forests in the Ogre Valley, which can be legally obtained casually.

This is a good island that can only be coveted by the largest commercial city in the kingdom, Port Layton, and there are certainly many people who can benefit from it.

Donald also knew that although he, the lord of Dalaran, was the most popular in the North County, after all, he was not strong enough to influence the collective opinions of the upper echelons of the kingdom.

Therefore, it is a very important step to send someone to the royal capital to arrange in advance, and he is not at ease with the others, so he can only send Uther to protect Catherine to go to the royal capital first and prepare things.

Otherwise, even if he lays down the Fish-Man Islands, it is estimated that he will make wedding dresses for other people.

After sending Catherine's airship away, feeling that this was not entirely appropriate, Jesse raised his concerns and said: "I'm afraid that everything is going well here and the wind direction of the kingdom is also on our side, it is estimated that those big nobles will also deliberately delay and want to profit from it!"

The greedy Donald of the nobles has also seen a lot, what he is most afraid of is dragging this word, the longer it drags on, the more variables things will be, and trouble will come one after another, so he still does not feel at ease to summon a gargoyle and send news to the Ansel family.

Augusta praised: "It's still the lord who thinks properly, so that the royal family has Her Majesty the Queen in it, and among the nobles, there is the support of the leading nobles of the kingdom of Ansel, and the attitude of the Ansel family also represents the attitude of most of the kingdom's military, so that as long as the news of repelling the sea beasts attacking the city and slaughtering the fishmen to open up a new territory is reported to the royal capital, the ownership of this archipelago should be established." ”

Donald shook his head and said: "This matter still needs the help of the Earl of Layton, how can it be said that their family is also the largest lord in the local area, and the upper echelons of the kingdom are also ranked among the top ten lords, even if he, the local lord, has no opinion, then even if the other nobles have the heart to get a piece of the pie, they can't find it at all." ！”

After the fish-man tribe had taken over the island, Donald decided to go straight to the Earl. Whether it's wooing or using it, the other party must be able to help if he sees that he has lifted the threat of the sea beast and saved Leighton Harbor. ！。
