As Donner expected, Minow and Paz were sent by Emperor Auston to find out the news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When they came out of Coennas, the ten-day period of the Silverfinch Federation's ultimatum had arrived, but there was no movement except for the fact that the envoys sent to Coenas were still tough.

As you can imagine, what Minoan said - and the whole Imperial City was worried about - was not an exaggeration.

However, Downer could not tell the truth and did not want to make up a random statement to deceive them, so he had to be vague and deduce that he should have news in a few days.

From Mino's and Paz's point of view, however, Donner's approach seems to have a faint sense of distrust.

So, the two only stayed in Mist Town for one day, and left the next evening.

Watching the two familiar backs fade away in the sunset, Donner could only let out a helpless sigh.

......

On 19 August, a new emissary from the Silverfinch Confederation arrived in Cohennas, bringing with him an unexpected gesture by Archduke Hayden Gustav - the temporary renunciation of territorial claims to the Faimon Empire - and the tension in the Faimon Imperial Capital finally dissipated.

Three days later, when word reached Misty Town, Grandet received an order from the Duke's makeshift office to stop all commercial activity in Foggy City and move all businesses to Falling Rock (also a northbound city) in the province of Oviere to the east.

Grandet thought to himself: this day has finally come - almost all the merchants in Foggy City belong to the nobles and nobles who have moved to the south. Before that, Grande was still wondering why the Duke would let these merchants continue to operate and delay changing to his own power.

In fact, some merchants in Foggy City have already used their brains to express their allegiance to Duke Vane through Grande, but Grandet has not yet figured out the young duke's temper and does not dare to speak for the time being.

However, when the Duke's order was officially given, Grandet was a little shocked by the magnitude of his movements. Even though he has always followed the principle of only doing and not talking, he still can't help but remind: "My lord...... In fact, you can also take over all these merchants......"

"Oh?" the Duke smiled coldly and said, "Then you can help me choose, select all the merchants here and in Falling Rock City who are willing to be loyal to me, and let the others follow their masters to the south." ”

Grandet was secretly frightened, unable to understand what the adult in front of him meant.

"What do you mean, my lord...... Merge all the merchants who are willing to swear their allegiance to Falling Rock?" he asked cautiously.

"You heard it right, that's what it means...... Fog City has a pleasant scenery, and it will not be used for commercial goods in the future, anyway, Falling Rock City is bigger than here, and it can still be squeezed - as for yourself, as long as you want, the position of steward of Falling Rock City is still empty. ”

"Your Excellency......" Grande's body trembled slightly, although he was a little puzzled by the use of the Duke to revoke the commercial fortune of Fog City, but the thought that he could manage the Falling Rock City after the merger of the two cities, he was so excited for a while that he couldn't help himself.

"Why, you still want to go south and follow your master?" the Duke seemed impatient.

"No, no, no!" Grande hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation! I will do my best to keep the rockfall city in a good place!" I dare to guarantee that anyone who dares not to be loyal to you will have no place there!"

......

When Wesley arrived in Misty on August 26, he saw a busy relocation.

"So soon?" he asked, smiling, after finding Donner.

"It's been days since the news from Coenas arrived, how did you get there?" Donner asked rhetorically.

"Don't you know? news always moves faster than people...... Wesley replied shamelessly.

Donner shook his head, not arguing with him, "All going well, right?"

"Now the Duchy of Gustav can immediately declare allegiance to us if you wish......," Wesley spread his hands, his face relaxed.

Donner knew what he meant, so he didn't ask any more, but shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget about this, just now, I already feel my head numb." ”

"Let me say, what we lack is more than a steward. Wesley rolled his eyes.

"I think you're right, I'm really not a nobleman...... Therefore, it is more appropriate for you to do this kind of thing of managing the land!"

Wesley immediately recognized Donner's pitfall, but after some debate, he finally accepted the mission—which Wesley felt was the easiest compared to what Donner had said.

As soon as he took over the task, Wesley showed his aristocratic demeanor - he made a trip to Coennas, found a few minor nobles who were familiar with the three northern provinces, appointed them as his assistants, and then sat back and relaxed.

Donner knew that he was fine and not messy, so he didn't bother to ask about these things.

At the end of August, the Santan Academy of Magic and Wizardry was about to enroll, and Donna had Moen and the others begin recruiting school-age teenagers among the civilians near Misty Town.

At this time, the merchants in Misty Town had already emptied the first step, and the entire town was almost empty, although the conditions were a little simple, but it was enough to accommodate a small pharmacy college. As for the necessary equipment and basic materials for the Pharmacy Academy, they can be purchased within the territory of the Faimon Empire, as long as they are handed over to the minor nobles under Wesley.

Donner also asked Wesley to find a language teacher for Moen and the others, and spent some time each day teaching them Western, and Una and Layla of course studied with them.

At this time, it had only been a month since Donner met Natia and asked her to inform Cynthia on his behalf, and Donner didn't expect Cynthia to come over so soon, so after everything was arranged and everyone had something to do, he left Mist Town alone and returned to Coennas.

In an inconspicuous corner of the upper town of Coennath, he found the place he had planned to visit before returning to Middle-earth—the Hulse Continental Naturalist Society.

This sacred place in Professor Victor's mind does not look as big as it seems.

Although not as dilapidated as the Inspectorate in St. Petersburg, this two-story stone building away from the Boer River does not look like it can afford the title of the Continental Naturalist Society.

After Donner declared himself, the president of the association personally received the honorary director of the association - well, Donner's badge of honorary director of the association, I don't know where it was lost.

"Lord Duke, I didn't expect you to come here in person. William, the president of the association, was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he should have been a little nobleman who was not very good at dressing, but Donner admired his strong scholarly temperament.

"I'm ashamed to say that I was awarded the status of an honorary director of the association six years ago, and I didn't have the opportunity to come here to see it today. ”

After a few brief greetings, Donner made his request: "I don't know if the association's publications over the years have a complete archive?

Although he said it politely, with Donner's current status, how could President William refuse this request-even if Donner was not a member of the association, it was a great thing for the association for an upper-class nobleman like him to express his interest in naturalism.
