The rescue went more smoothly than expected, and when York took the Silas family to the docks, the soldiers began to search for them.

However, the canal heading south is blocked, and if you want to escape the sphere of influence of White Mist City, it is best to go north to Ravenwood and then to Herrim City.

"Long time no see, Mr. Silas. "Leon met this partner at the docks, whom he had not seen for a long time, and he looked much older, much worse than the high-spirited businessman he had been before.

"Thank you, Lord Leon, for your help in times of crisis. Silas was grateful, this time the escape from White Mist City was so smooth, and it was inseparable from York's credit.

The two only had a business relationship and had no other contacts, compared to some of the big merchant families in the city, Leon was able to make such a step, which really surprised and thanked him, and the rest of the families even cut off any contact in order to avoid being implicated.

"Your oppression by Payne has more or less something to do with Ravenwood, and since I'm a lord, I certainly can't let that happen. Leon said truthfully, "What are you going to do next?"

"The waterways are blocked by the Earl, and now the best route is to go around from County Harrim to Elspley, where we still have some property. "Silas has made a plan early on, and if he wants to escape from the oppression of Earl Payne, he can only go to the sphere of influence of the northern guard.

"No problem, now that we have a trade route to Herrim City, you can move with the caravan, but you have to wait two days. "The first caravan has left, the second is still being prepared.

Silas has no objections, and it would be nice to fix it here.

The last time I came here was to talk about ore cooperation, and a few months passed in a blink of an eye, and the changes in the town made him almost unrecognizable, he sat in the carriage, watching the earth-shaking changes around him, and there was an indescribable shock in his heart.

At this rate of development, Ravenwood will soon stand among the second-tier forces in the north, at least on par with a marquisate like County Herrim, and it will only take more than a year to complete this, which is a miracle for the whole country, surpassing the legend written in White Mist City at the beginning.

"Lord Leon, there should be a doctor in town, right?" asked Silas, who had been too flustered to prepare enough medicine for his daughter, and now had to make do with some calming potions for her.

"He went to the Ore Village today, if you have any needs, tell the guards, and he will convey them when he comes back. "Lyon had planned for the doctor to go to the village every few days.

He nodded, and told the guards with his request.

Lyon placed them in one of the best inns in the centre of town, from which they could see the most prosperous part of the town.

Escaping from White Mist City this time, he disbanded all the servants in the family, and took away only a few henchmen and people in the family, adding up to more than a dozen. They were placed on the ground floor, and the best room upstairs he gave to his daughter, hoping that she would have a good view to see in her sober moments.

"Go help the others, Julianne is watching. Silas went to her daughter's room and asked the maid to go downstairs and help with the room.

Julianne sat expressionlessly on the edge of the bed, feeling nothing at all about his presence, which had lasted for more than two years, and he had made the transition from sadness to acceptance, thankfully there was still that little time every day.

"Father, where is this?" Julianne regained her senses and found that she was no longer in that familiar room, and when she woke up yesterday, the family was preparing to escape from White Mist City, and it seemed that she had escaped without any problems.

"Ravenwood. "Silas was standing by the window and enjoying the view from the street.

"Aren't we going to El Splitley?" Julianne remembers that they had discussed going south, but now they were in a remote town in the northwest.

"The Earl has blocked the way south, and we can only come here and go around County Helim. Silas explained that he was always patient with his daughter.

"The Count blocked the way south?" Julianne sensed that something was wrong, as if there was a conspiracy behind it.

"You see, it's only been a few months, but it's been a completely different place, I remember the last time I was here, it was a wasteland, and now it's a bustling street. Silas looked out the window and said that he didn't want to continue to reminisce about the gloomy past, and that a new chapter would begin in his life.

In Elspooly, the Guardian of the North has enough power to protect the people of the realm, and without the Earl's target, even if the family is severely damaged, it can be revived by the goodwill accumulated over the centuries.

As for the suffering that the Count brought to his family, he will find a way to figure it out one by one.

Julianne got up and walked to the window, the streets below were far from the big cities, but for their size, Ravenwood was ahead of all the other towns, no wonder her father had such high praise.

She had heard her father talk about this place a few times, and it was more about the lord's appreciation, without the arrogance of the nobles, nor the stubbornness of the miser, and the style of doing things that others could not understand but always made people feel satisfied.

If it weren't for the seriousness of her illness, she would have liked to meet the legendary lord.

"You know, Leon is ready to buy another territory, even if it's remote. Silas heard a little bit and thought it was risky, but he didn't say it.

"Maybe he wants to expand the population. Julianne guessed the intentions behind it, and the news that Ravenwood was recruiting the urban poor and capturing the robbers was no secret to them.

"He's taking a risky step, and the town doesn't need that many people. Silas could only confide in his daughter.

"Maybe he had other intentions. Julianne judged from her previous understanding that Leon's step must have a deep meaning, and it is not known why it was exactly, but it must be profitable in short.

After that, there was another small talk, talking about the future, whether there can be a good enough start in Elspuri to determine the fate of the family in the future, and neither the Silas father and daughter want to be oppressed by the nobles again.

"Knock knock. ”

There was a crisp knock on the door.

Silas opened the door, revealing a young woman with white hair standing outside the door, holding a potion bottle in her hand.

"I'm the town's physician, Diana, and this is the potion you need. ”

"Oh, thanks. Silas smiled and took the potion, the townspeople were quite efficient.

"What's wrong with you?" he noticed that Diana's expression was not quite right, and kept looking inside the room, as if he wanted to say something.

Diana stopped talking, hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe I'm presumptuous, but the people in the house should be very sick." ”
