Chapter 186: Alvin's Arrival
When Miranda left, Lance immediately handed over the contract to Veronica and said, "Winnie, you go to Eve now, and then let Eve give the Duke of Aceh a blow." www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, tell him that I have such a contract with the kingdom of Hitivite, and that I can get reinforcements. Got it?"
Veronica immediately understood what Lance meant: "Oh! I'll go. β
"Okay, when the Duke of Aceh comes, I can go out. By the way, you and Eve go to the Adiris's alchemy shop, stock up on some medicines necessary for walking through the forest, as well as those for stopping the bleeding. Time is urgent, the sooner the better. β
Veronica asked, confused, "That's the medicine for mosquito bites and miasma." What do you want all this for?"
"Prepare for a long journey, you go quickly, time is running out. By the way, ask Eve to bring me a map of Idris when she comes. β
"Okay, I'll go. Veronica nodded, then prepared to leave. But as soon as he got up, he was grabbed by Lance.
As soon as Lance pulled, he took Veronica back into his arms, and then his lips were pressed together, and the two of them hugged and kissed each other.
After kissing for about a few minutes, Veronica reluctantly left Lance's lips. She blushed and said, "You're so bad, didn't you say time was tight?"
Lance said softly: "Time is urgent, and I am not so nervous that I can't spare time for a kiss." Winnie, I have something for you. β
Veronica said shyly, "You say." β
"Thank you for believing in me. I ......"
Veronica hurriedly pressed Lance's mouth: "Fool, I am your fiancΓ©e, of course I believe you." Well, no more ado. I went first. When you come out, we'll talk slowly. β
With that, Veronica walked away quickly.
When Veronica left, Lance's mood was a little heavier. Because he knows that the person who loves him the most is gone, and the person who is thirsty for talent is gone, so the third person to see next is probably the person who harmed himself.
Sure enough, after a while, the door to the dungeon rang again. Listening to the heavy steps, Lance smiled contemptuously at the corners of his mouth.
When this person came out of the shadows and appeared in front of Lance, Lance sneered and said, "It's rare for Duke Alvin to come to see me?
Duke Alvin didn't change his emotions at Lance's words, but said with a straight face, "I just did what I had to do." I told you that this would offend the Duke of Aceh. β
"That's right, I have nothing to say. When disaster comes, they fly separately. If I blame you for betraying me on the spot and taking all the blame away, it would seem like I'm a little stingy. Every step you have calculated, so that I feel as if every step is to blame, and I can't say that I am suffering. β
Alvin sat down on the wooden chair outside the old door, and the old wooden chair let out a heavy lament: "Brother Lance, you must not complain about me. β
Lance said, "How can I blame you in this prison?"
"Brother Lance, I'm just here for the big picture. I have to put all the blame on you. β
Lance smiled and said, "Well, I want to blame myself and myself, it's because I want to help Eve." So didn't think it through. In fact, if you think about it now, your strategy is not very clever. Your purpose is to sabotage the marriage between Idiris and Hitivit, and how can you expose yourself? β
Alvin said with an ugly face: "Brother Lance, you have something to say." β
Lance looked indifferent: "I'm in prison, doesn't Duke Alvin allow me to complain? But now it seems, Duke Alvin, can't you save my life? Or do you not want to save my life at all?"
Duke Alvin said: "If you can protect me, I will naturally protect it, but now that the Duke of Aceh wants to kill you, I can't do it." Brother Lance, if you have anything to say to me, I will do it. β
"You mean a will?" Lance laughed, "I want you to do it yourself, and you must do it?"
"I ......," Duke Alvin was choked by Lance and had nothing to say.
"Okay, don't be hypocritical, I'm not hypocritical, let's open the skylight and talk about the deal. Now the demons are invading. This Duchy of Idiris is a barrier to all human kingdoms. Once the Principality of Idiris fell, it undoubtedly opened the way for the demons to invade. Then please ask the Duke of Alvin, how your Normanland kingdom intends to help us Idiris. β
Duke Alvin replied in a low voice, "Now the kingdoms of Normanland and Walkland are under the joint rule of Queen Catherine, but they are mired in civil war. The civil war was uneven, and we could not afford to send troops. At most, return the soldiers that Idiris's support has given us. β
"So you're going to let it go?"
"It's not that we don't care, we'll help you as you need. β
"Necessary help?" said Lance with a laugh, "wars are fought by people." What else is there to help other than reinforcements? Grain and grass? I'm afraid you won't give food and grass either. Am I right, Duke Alvin. β
Duke Alvin bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, he held back a sentence: "Then how do you say we can help?"
"I've got some things Idris needs help with. But I don't know if you'll be able to say yes?"
Duke Alvin immediately asked, "Please speak." β
"It is often said that there are three holes in the cunning rabbit. Although I am confident that I can defeat the demons now, it is not a bad thing for people to have a back road, and the same is true for the country, are you right?"
Alvin nodded approvingly, "That's right." β
Lance continued: "Okay, can I ask Duke Alvin for a contract?"
Alvin asked, "What contract?"
"A deed of land. That is the moment when our kingdom of Idireis is destroyed, can your Normanland kingdom give us a fief and let us use it as a place to live?"
"This ......" Duke Alvin was suddenly a little embarrassed: "This is unlikely, how can we give you the land of the Kingdom of Normanland for no reason? β
"It's not for nothing. Lance said, "Your kingdom of Normanland is in the midst of a civil war, and there must be many abandoned territories and cities. After years of civil war, do you have so many manpower in the Normanland Kingdom to reclaim the famine and restore the economy?"
"This ...... This ......," Duke Alvin thought, and Lance was indeed right. After such a long civil war, the Normanland Kingdom is now only half of its pre-war population, and the Walkrant Kingdom has a third less population.
But Alvin continued: "How can we give the land to foreigners even if it is wasted? β
Lance said confidently: "You don't have to think about it, people. They will say yes. And it's a mezzanine welcome. You just have to do the work of the princes. β
Duke Alvin said, "I seem to have promised you what I said. β
"Duke Alvin, you are a smart man. Don't you see that this pact is of great benefit to your kingdom of Normanland?"
Alvin almost heard a joke: "Huge? What are you kidding?" I will give all the land to you foreigners, and this is called a huge benefit? It would be good not to cause conflicts among the princes. β
Lance said helplessly, "Duke Alvin." I take back my previous words. You're the dumbest of all the people in power I've ever met. β
"You!" Alvin was angry, but he was also curious, how could such a completely unreasonable contract be of great benefit to the Kingdom of Normanland?
"Well, you are sharp-tongued, I won't argue with you. First of all, you must tell me how it is a good thing to let foreign refugees get our land. β
