After Ace's narration, Lear finally figured out what had happened in the past three months.

The situation on the continent has changed dramatically in these three months, and all of this is inextricably linked to him...... The Byron Empire was divided, the Grand Prince and several other princes supported themselves in the south, and many small principalities also declared their independence from the control of the Byron Empire, and His Majesty Emperor Carson only controlled less than ten provinces around Yanjing, and was forced to shrink his defense against the attack of the rebels at any time.

According to the Evenki hunters, the Druid hunters who have now awakened have reconnoitered, and the Wuqi Army hidden in the Lagus Valley has withdrawn overnight due to the lack of food and grass supplies, leaving countless baggage that cannot be taken away, and fleeing back to the south.

And the Auray Empire was suddenly killed by Lear because the three princes who had the most succession to the throne, His Majesty the old emperor O. Gus was shocked and angry, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and the remaining two princes, one was a rabbit and the other was cowardly and incompetent, and began to form gangs and factions to compete for the throne, and the empire fell into turmoil, and naturally it was unable to attack the Byron Empire in the east, which had been torn apart.

And because the orcs of the Snow Plains Empire did not receive food and grass supplies from the Great Prince, the situation on the mainland fell into turmoil that has only been seen in a thousand years, and they also stood still, waiting for changes, and did not dare to act rashly. But once the summer is abundant, with plenty of food and grass, will the orcs give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Under such an extremely strange situation and atmosphere, the Northwest Province, especially the fragrant plains with abundant water and grass, actually showed an extremely rare calm, and even the usual impermanence of bandits, thieves, wandering orcs, goblins, etc., were much less ...... "Well, Ace...... Thank you for your hard work......" Lear listened to Ace's narration, watching her almost lose weight, and her chin became a little thin and pointed, and said sincerely. Since coming to this barren land, Lear has not had much of a hard time, the construction of Fragrance City, the placement of personnel, the recruitment of farmers to farm, the training of the army, and the struggle with the Wizards' Guild and the Temple of Light are all done by Ace and others.

But he became a hands-off shopkeeper, disappeared for a few months, and almost lost his life.

"Your Excellency, are you back...... the old butler Tubonas Lodge hurriedly pushed the door open, followed by a large group of people, including Russell the Lionface, Cynthia the Witch Witch, Cindy the Winged Witch, and others...... Seeing Ace shyly break free from Lear's arms, the obscene old butler hurriedly turned around, but hit Russell's head on Russell's thick belly like a stone wall, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly: "My lord, you go on...... I didn't see anything!"

Lear laughed, "Rocky, my butler, Lord Knight, you...... What's the matter...... Let everybody come in. ”

After nine deaths, Lear felt that the brothers around him were more cute, and the family affection became stronger and stronger. And the old butler's dress today made him laugh even more.

The old butler Rocky was dressed in a straight butler-style black tuxedo, with a short front, a slit in the back and his triangular eyes, and inverted eyebrows, which was originally quite solemn and serious, but the old housekeeper's body was too thin, his expression was too obscene, no matter how he looked at it, he looked too much like a strange uncle who seduced a little girl...... "Hey, hey, hey......" The old butler laughed strangely, he just wanted to come and see the adult who had been missing for three months, only the adult was there to let him have the backbone, as for some things, is it necessary to trouble the adult? And it's reported to the adults, isn't it still the same sentence, you can look at it yourself...... "My lord, we have collected tens of thousands of gold coins today, hahaha......" Russell smiled: "But the gang of miscellaneous people in the Temple of Light just don't want to pay the tolls, and they have been clamoring to divide the diocese in the past two days, if it weren't for the city lord's wife, ah! No, Miss Ace said not to have a conflict with them, Lao Tzu would have smashed them a long time ago......"

Lear frowned, the people of the Temple of Light were really about to cause some trouble.

He turned his head to look at Cynthia, who was still a little pale, and said, "Cynthia, are your injuries still healed?" The Poison Witch is a poisonous demon body, but the ordinary elixir does not have much effect on her. Three months have passed, and her injuries are still not healed.

"My lord, I'm getting better. Cynthia said with a cold expression: "You don't have to worry too much, but if you go out again in the future, please bring the Twelve Demon Winged Guards......"

"Good ......" Lear smiled bitterly, if he brought the Twelve Demon Winged Girls with him this time, I'm afraid none of them would be able to come back. He asked again, "Let's talk about it, what is going on with the Temple of Light being carved out of the diocese?"

Aden Riser glanced at Ace and saw that she nodded, before he said: "The Temple of Light has also asked for a special diocese in the fiefs of other lords in the past, one is for their believers to live in, not under the jurisdiction of the lord, on the other hand, the lords of the land belonging to the diocese are not allowed to be taxed, and all taxes are dedicated to the temple as offerings for believers......"

It must be said that Aden Reese is very deceitful in other aspects, but he is a genius in civil governance, and he has a clear grasp of these subtle things, far better than Russell and Phil, who only know how to fight.

Lear's brows gradually furrowed, isn't this a "country within a country", the lord has no right to govern, no right to tax, no right to administer, all under the control of the believers of the Temple of Light, this is even more than a country within a country!

Ace went on to say that St. Aara the Great had realized this drawback, so he strictly forbade the Temple of Light to preach within the empire, so the Temple of Light developed slowly within Byron, but it still developed in the fiefdoms of some lords, because the Temple of Light also gave them great benefits, such as sending Holy Knights to help them defeat the invading enemies, bringing them luxuries, and even treating diseases for the people in the fiefdoms...... Although the Temple of Light is greatly restricted in the Byron Empire, it is completely different in the Auron Empire, the Temple of Light is even designated as the state religion, and its power has developed extremely strongly, and we are even worried that it is the Temple of Light that is behind the scenes to indulge the division of the Byron Empire, and even the turmoil in the Auron Empire has the shadow of the Temple of Light......"

Ace said: "When Master Breivik returns, everything will be understood, he has led the Evenk hunters to infiltrate the Orei Empire and the Snow Empire to spy on the enemy, and it is time to return these days......"

At this moment, Billy, the mad dog who was in charge of collecting the river crossing tax outside, suddenly rushed in and said: "My lord, Lord Ace, Lord Breivik has returned, he asked you to meet the enemy quickly, and a 10,000-strong orc cavalry army is approaching Piaoxiang City, and the reason for this is unknown!Ah, Lord Lear, you, you are back......"
