Chapter 193: Conflict

Now that the sale of this healing potion has long become the main source of financial income in the territory, Mick has already contacted foreign caravans, hoping to buy a batch of Oberti highland horses for the Knights. The few horses sent by the Arthur God Sect before were indeed good war horses after training.

At the same time, the entire city of Stanlow and beyond, both inside and outside the city, continued to expand and develop, from the construction of the city walls and the opening of new shops to the borrowing of money.

However, at present, it is still the production and sale of this drug. On the one hand, it is limited by materials and secrecy, and on the other hand, the strength of the Naibao Trading House is insufficient, and the number of caravans and expanded trade routes cannot keep up. As a result, the sale of this healing potion was limited to the southeast corner of the entire Horsens Empire, and not even that much of Philadelphia was hooked.

But relying on the income from the sale of this area, it is already a huge fortune.

"May I ask if Bishop Nikita is in the city, and what do you think of this light?" Bird suddenly remembered someone, maybe this Bishop Nikita could help him.

However, when he greeted the Knights of the Church a few days ago, Bishop Nikita did not appear, and when he asked the priest Barry, he was told that Bishop Nikita had a personal affair these days, so he left the city.

Before the head of the Church Knights Hogan could say anything, he saw the priest Barry beside him shaking his head slightly at Bird, his lips moving slightly, revealing the word no.

"No," Captain Hogan said sharply at the top of his throat.

The sound startled Priest Barry, and when he turned to look at Captain Hogan, his eyes widened and he glared at himself.

Seeing this, Priest Barry also knew that his small actions had been discovered.

"I wonder when Bishop Nikita will be back?" Seeing Priest Barry's embarrassed look, Bird was also a little unbearable, and hurriedly opened his mouth to try to distract Captain Hogan.

"The bishop's affairs, how can such a small person as me have the right to know. Bishop Nikita had been out before I came to Stanlow," and seeing Bird staring straight at him, Hogan finally turned his attention away from Priest Barry.

Seeing that he shook his head and denied it, and what he said was indeed reasonable. Bird couldn't catch any loopholes, so he had to give up. Especially when he saw that his purpose had been successful, he no longer dwelled on the question of whether Bishop Nikita had returned, but instead said

"The change in this light is really weird, and I don't know what kind of change will come next. I hope you can work together to get through this difficult time" Bird always felt that the light rising high tonight was really a bad omen.

"I suppose that since Lord Bird is so worried about this light, I wonder if Lord Bird has something unspeakable?" Hogan interrupted Mick.

"I heard that Lord Bird sent a team to the Misty Forest not long ago? I wonder what these people have discovered, or if this light has anything to do with these people tonight?

Before Hogan could finish speaking, all the eyes of everyone at the round table, except for Mick and Aubrey, were all on Bird.

The movement of Adolf and his slave traders to the Misty Forest was too big, and Bird personally sent them off in the city at that time, causing everyone in the city to know about it. And in order to conceal the true identity of this team of centaurs and make it easier for them to act in the Misty Forest, Bird consulted with Adolf and directly let them go out under the name of the Knights.

Bird was slightly stunned.

Mick on the side seemed to be about to open his mouth to say something, but he suddenly looked under the table with a hideous face.

"This group of centaurs was indeed sent by me to the Misty Forest to investigate the situation."

"I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the light, because I wasn't there. No news has come back yet."

"But I can assure you that the men and horses sent out are indeed harmless to my Stanlo Free Territory."

"In that case, what is Lord Byrd's concern, is there something unusual about this centaur?" Hogan asked again. The hidden meaning of his words is also extremely obvious, if Bird denies it again, he may have to reveal the matter of the slave trader in front of everyone.

The collusion of an imperial lord with a slave trader is a wonderful story.

In front of him, the head of Hogan can find out the news from all over the city within a few days of entering the city, and he is indeed capable.

"This misty forest has been strange before, and some strange beasts have flown out of it. The disease in the city was brought by that strange beast before, I wonder if Captain Hogan knows about this?"

Bird stared at Hogan, what had been a meeting for everyone to discuss a solution had now become the scene where two people questioned each other.

"This group has gone to explore the Misty Forest, to see if there are any such beasts in the forest, or if there are other things hidden in the forest, or if there are any resources worth exploiting. That's what this detachment is for."

"I hope that Captain Hogan will not spill his personal grievances on these things, let alone drill the horns"

"Is that really the case, Lord Bird?" said Captain Hogan with a squinting smile as he shook his head, apparently not believing what Bird said.

"The origin of this group of people has not yet been clarified, Lord Bird, so do you need me to remind you?"

"That's enough!" said not Bird, but Aubrey, the political officer next to him, the man sitting across from Mick.

Hogan glanced at Aubrey, ignored him, and continued, "That mysterious manor in the city?

"These people are from outside the Horsens Empire"

The rest of the audience held their breath, rummaging through the relevant memories as Hogan spoke.

"That's enough!" the stop sounded again, and Hogan continued to ignore it.

"I've said enough!" two consecutive cheers, and everyone realized that the voice was wrong, it was a female voice. And the source is not Bird and Aubrey and the others, but outside the door of the council hall opposite them.

After two consecutive drinks, Hogan had already heard the source of the sound, and his face suddenly turned from red to white, and then Tie Qingjia was shocked.

But now he could only look back and back, also outside the door of the council chamber, where the sound was coming from.

It was Bishop Nikita, who had disappeared for days.

He looked at Hogan expressionlessly, but Hogan was already trembling all over his body at this time, and he didn't dare to look at Bishop Nikita, and after turning around, he just buried his head and shouted, "Lord Bishop!"
