Chapter 217: Come if you want, leave if you want?

The town of Liema ushered in a period of stable and rapid development, with a large influx of displaced people, and the policy of exchanging work for food has become a habit imprinted in the bones of the displaced people, who continue to explore nearby resource gathering sites, and the town is gradually expanding.

The construction of the line of defense is in full swing and is progressing well.

Ivo took a sip of black tea with milk, closed his eyes and enjoyed the mellow taste, leaned back on the chaise longue, enjoying the lazy afternoon sun, and did everything in moderation, too much, he threw everything to the people below to do, ready to rest for a few days, anyway, these simple tasks did not need him to stare.

From time to time, townsfolk passing by the streets below looked up at Ivo basking in awe.

In the town of Liema, Ivo is very popular.

Aggressively, there was a knock on the door, Gavin walked in, Ivo raised an eyebrow: "If the matter is not urgent, go to the overseer yourself and get ten lashes." ”

Gavin wiped his sweat and said, "There are two people who want to see you, the Marquis of Talper in Linches, and the Lady Bliss of the Gemmelly Chamber of Commerce." ”

Ivo was stunned: "When did they come?"

"It wasn't long before I arrived. ”

"Let them come," Ivo thought for a moment, "and call Nafi by the way." ”

After a while, Talper, who had not seen him for a long time, walked in, and Bilis then entered the room, and Ivo laughed, "Talper, I haven't seen you in a while. ”

Talper nodded silently, with mixed feelings, he never thought that one day he would need to rely on Ivo's protection, now he is no longer a powerful marquis, but Ivo, who has a heavy army in his hand, can look down at him with a downward gaze.

However, Ivo was not interested in doing so, he just nodded: "It's good that I'm not dead, Nafi is with me." ”

Hearing this, Talper breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

"It should. Ivo replied, looked at Bliss, and said with a smile: "President Bliss, your headquarters is in Falling Dragon City, what are you doing here?" Forget it, I welcome you anyway, if you can donate some supplies, the whole town will welcome you." ”

Bliss smiled lightly, "You're just lying in a chair and talking to me about this?"

Ivo laughed, stood up and hugged Bliss.

At this moment, Nafei happened to arrive at the door, and when she saw the movements of the two, her face tightened, and her tone was obviously hostile: "Ivo, who is she?"

"A friend. Ivo raised his eyebrows and pouted to the side, "There's good news for you, your family is here." ”

When Nafei saw Talper, she was immediately pleasantly surprised, the whereabouts of her family had always been a concern for her, and now she was relieved to know that her family was safe.

Regardless of Talper and Nafi, Beatis pulled Ivo aside and said, "I brought a lot of supplies this time, I need the real estate development industry in Lima Town." ”

"You're still the same as before, refusing to let go of any business opportunities. Ivo smiled, took the list of supplies contributed by Blis, glanced at it, the amount was so large that he frowned, and nodded, "Of course, you will get what you want." ”

Bliss smiled with satisfaction.

After the greetings, Talper and Bliss left, and Nafi leaned close to Ivo's ear, staring firmly into Ivo's eyes, and said in a threatening voice: "Say, what do you have to do with the woman just now?"

Ivo sneered: "Are you jealous?"

"No!" Nafi's face turned red, and when she saw Ivo's eyes smiling, she turned around and ran away.

Gavin, who was ignored to the side, swallowed his saliva, feeling as if he had seen something that he shouldn't see, and when he saw Ivo looking over, he hurriedly said, "My lord, there is one more thing, Wood and several chamber of commerce presidents hope to return to Liema Town. ”

Ivo restrained his smile, "The ones who left?"

Gavin nodded.

"What about people?"

"Still waiting outside the city. ”

Ivo's tone was slightly cold, "My territory is not something that can come and go as soon as you want, let them get out of here." ”

Gavin wiped his cold sweat: "They are willing to give a high entrance fee to the city......"

Ivo didn't bother to listen, lay back in his chair, and waved his hand with his back to Gavin: "Tell them, if you don't get out, just live in the dungeon." ”

......

A convoy of several small chambers of commerce stopped outside the city gates, and Wood paced back and forth anxiously, following Bliss as they approached, only to be stopped by the guards.

Gavin appeared at the wall and shouted, "Your lord has decreed that you are not authorized to enter the city." ”

Wood hurriedly said: "We are willing to pay ......"

Gavin interrupted him: "Your Excellency has given an order, if you stay in front of the city gates, we will send guards to arrest you. ”

The defenders of the city wall pointed their bows and arrows at Wood and the others.

Wood broke out in a cold sweat and looked sad, regretting his choice.

......

On a day when a meteor streaked across the night sky, a letter from thousands of miles away, accompanied by the heavy footsteps of the messenger, arrived in Ivo's hand.

"Lord Ivo, the king commends you for your merits. ”

In a room where only the clear moonlight shone on the wall, Jendison placed the letter and a red flask on the table.

Ivo's face emerged from the shadows, light and dark, he put down the dagger in his hand, and said slowly: "Viscount Jendison, next time you look for me, remember to knock on the door." ”

"This is a letter from His Majesty the King. ”

The fire paint on the letter was stamped with the royal seal of Lasses, and Ivo unfolded the letter, and the contents jumped into view:

"Ivo Harriken, I confer upon you the title of knight and the Order of the Swallow by the surname of Rassescal, canonize you as the official lord of the kingdom, have jurisdiction over the territory of the town of Liema, recognize your nobility in the kingdom of Lasseth, be bound by the laws of the nobility, enjoy additional powers, and must uphold the honor of the royal family. ”

This is an official oratory, with a slight change and a lack of ceremonies, which is equivalent to the official recognition of Ivo's lordship, making his lordship justifiable, and of little use in times of war, but it represents the king's goodwill and is a gesture of goodwill from the king.

Turning to the next page, the king's request appeared.

"Blind defense will never lead to victory, and the Reynolds and Barians should also feel the pain of Lasses, and perhaps your friends will be happy to help your kingdom, hide in the shadows, be vigilant, and your friends will get something that satisfies their desires - if things go well......"

The words were ambiguous, but Ivo understood what Severn III meant, and was slightly surprised, the king had already sensed the existence of a powerful force behind him, and the "friend" mentioned in the letter referred to the force behind Ivo, but the king was not very sure, so the words were vague.

Ivo thought about it, he used to have a lot of flaws, the whole country was the intelligence network of Severn III, and it was easy to catch these clues, but Ivo was not worried, the situation was chaotic, the king could not trouble him, and he needed to rely on him.

The first criterion in wartime, there is no fault for those who have merit.

This request was a request for help from the king, and in the case that the whole country was pinned down, Severn III wanted the help of foreign aid, so he thought of Ivo, and with a hope of one in ten thousand, asked the forces behind Ivo to help, and attacked the empty Renault or Barria.

In his letter, Severn III promised to give a reward to the forces behind Ivo, thinking that Ivo could only be regarded as a small person or liaison of that force, and that bottle of red potion was regarded as a reward for Ivo's liaison forces, which showed that the king did not know the details of Ivo.

[Abel's Boiling Blood], a seventh-level potion that sublimates a warrior's physical potential, is extremely precious and rare, and it is something that any warrior can only dream of.

Ivo, as a mimic, is a natural warrior, and although he doesn't have to worry about the limits of his potential, he can improve his physical potential one step earlier and grow up earlier.

With short hands and soft mouths, since he has received benefits, Ivo, who prides himself on having professional ethics, naturally has to fulfill the deal.

However, the Dark Eye's branch in Friga was weak and could not meet the king's demands.

"It's time to meet the group. Ivo said silently.
