After the gold coins were brought to Cades, Sodeis used them to renovate the entire Cades over the course of a month.

The wide and clean road now connects all the cities, and after buying a steam train from Kahlan at a high price, it has been modified by the high-intensity magic of Sodeis, and now Cardus also has the ability to make this vehicle on its own, and three months after receiving the gold coins, the first steam train independently produced by Cardes officially entered the orbit in Rilun City.

And because of these gold coins, the Cades were finally able to promote compulsory education and universal military service, which require massive resources, on a large scale.

The various facilities that relied on these gold coins of Cades began to quickly catch up with other established empires, but due to Anka's insistence that everything should be made independently in his country, many scientific research projects were implemented very slowly.

At the beginning of autumn, Anka woke up early, and he learned from Blackfang's mouth that a large number of thunderclouds had gathered in the southern part of Karan recently.

Ankh wandered the room worriedly, fearing how many people the demon would kill, and fearing that Kajudir, possessed by the magic sword, would trick the local inhabitants into an unequal pact with it.

In that case, Kajudil is likely to quickly regain his strength and obtain a powerful physical golem, which he will likely have to deal with two powerful demons at the same time.

In order to avoid falling into disadvantage by the weapon, Ankka spent some time getting new weapons and armor from that mysterious being in Hell, but it seems that Ankka wants too much at once, and that guy has been popping up lately urging Ankka to find the demon traitor.

During Anka's meeting, Sodeeth and Bittel quarreled, and Ankh covered his head and said, "There are two conferences every month, and every time you see it, you quarrel, and the noise gives me a headache." ”

Anka, who had been idle for a long time, looked at the noisy crowd and knocked on the table a few times and said, "What is the matter, let's make it clear at once!" Tomorrow I am visiting Karan. ”

Sodeith wondered and asked, "Why haven't you told us about this?" ”

"Didn't that tell you? Now let's talk about what you all have! ”

Bittel got up and said, "I think we should lean more resources towards the army. ”

"But now that there is little fighting, it is enough for us to maintain a sufficient number of troops, and now resources should be more inclined to the implementation of people's livelihood facilities and new machines." ”

Ankh still raised his right hand in support of Sodeyith this time, and Ebitel's army seemed to be a little complaining, but no one dared to say anything after seeing Ankka who was now in full swing.

The next day, Ankka first took a Wyvern to inspect the City of Clock Towers and the Industrial Wall, and after noticing that the inhabitants of both cities had indeed escaped their hardships, Ankka returned to the Jagged Coast.

Elanci of the Jagged Coast ran over to greet Ankka when he saw him coming.

Anka looked at the thriving port in front of him and asked, "Is there anything else wrong here?" ”

"There are no more, and I want to thank you."

"What?"

"Thank you for allowing us to survive in the territory we have taken in the North, we have recently destroyed the Giant Horn Tribe, which has given us a lot of living space and a large number of laborers."

Ankh didn't show surprise when he heard this, but after exchanging a few words with Alanga, he rode the Wyvern to Kahlan again.

In Kalan's capital, Livwe, who is now the Grand Councillor, warmly welcomed Ankh to the palace when she learned of Anka's sudden visit.

Ankh sat down at the banquet and said directly: "There may be powerful demons in your empire, and I am not talking about the small demons that I often see, but the powerful demons that can destroy cities at will. ”

Livwe accepted Anka's words very easily, and said that she would go to that destination with Ankka in person.

After Ankka got up to thank her, Livvey laughed and said, "You seem to have said that you would kill me if you caught me, but you didn't expect that now we would be sitting together." ”

"We were in a state of hostility at the time."

"Oh, that's right."

Ankka's heart pounded as she watched Livvi, who was constantly laughing in front of her, and Ankh's teeth itched in hatred in the face of this politician in front of him who was much more clever than herself.

Carders is now squandered only about five thousand gold coins due to the unequal contracts signed with Kahlan by some of the people who purchased the goods below.

And those damn contracts were signed without her knowledge, Ankka looked at the woman in front of her and knew in her heart that many of these things were related to her, but she just couldn't blame her.

Livwe got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

Ankka came back to her senses and nodded in response.

Standing in front of the ranks of soldiers, Livwe suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Mr. Anka, is there enough gold?" ”

"Of course it's enough!"

"If you don't have enough, you can borrow it."

"How much is the interest?"

"It's cheap, for you."

The two then embark on a wyvern and head into the dark clouds in the distance, during which Livvi instills Ankka's disgusted distorted thoughts.

Ten days before Anka's visit to Karan, Mtan Karl, in a village south of Karan, was weaving with his sister.

Carl kept saying good things about Ankh and his sister kept saying yes, his sister looked at the piggy bank on the cabinet in the distance and said, "Come on, finally save up all the money you need to go to the capital college." ”

Carl looked at his sister with joy in her eyes and said, "I won't let you down." ”

The sister said, "You were worried about me the last time you were taken away, but luckily you met a good person. ”

Carl nodded and said, "Why don't I go to the lord's house next time to do something!" Maybe my sister can go to the academy for half a year. ”

My sister shook her head and said, "My illness is too serious, and brother, your memory is good, so you should go!" It might be a waste for my sister to go. ”

"It's useless to have money, I don't know if I'll pass the exam by then."

"Don't think you can't do it, be confident that you're my brother."

Karl nodded and responded happily.

At dusk, Karl carried the woven cloth to the lord's house on his back, and after bargaining for half a day, Karl took eight copper coins and hurried away at night.

At the front of the village, Karl looked at the fire inside, and he ran quickly to his home, where he found that the villagers had reported that he had been a servant soldier but could return from the barracks early, and now a large number of soldiers had gathered at his doorstep, and his sister was holding the piggy bank tightly and did not want to hand it over.

"You don't lack this at all, don't take it, I beg you."

Karl pushed the crowd away and kept his sister at his side, but the soldiers beat him up and chained himself to the gate, and the broken piggy bank was looted with copper coins scattered inside.

The soldiers went into the house after insulting Carl as a deserter, and Carl heard his sister's desperate voice in the house and the ridicule of the villagers around him, and tried to break free in pain, but the rope grew tighter and tighter.

Carl's burst of magic power appeared in a small fire in his palm, but it was trampled by the villagers, and at night the crowd dispersed, but the house was still lively, but his sister's voice was completely inaudible.

At this moment, a blade that shimmered blue-blue appeared in front of him.

"What is this?"

"I am the great Kajudir! I smelled your delicious magical soul, and I came all the way. ”

"Are you going to kill me?"

"I will not be so wasteful, sacrifice your soul to be my weapon to harvest souls, and I will give you the power of a god."

Karl looked up in despair and said, "If it's true, then come!" ”

In an instant, Karl gained more strength than all living beings, and he slowly got up with the flames burning all over his body, and ran towards the room with the magic sword in hand.

Karl screamed frantically and burned the whole house to the sight of the scarlet house, after which he hung the begging soldiers upside down from the cross after packing up his sister and burying him.

"Wait a minute." With that, Karl turned and walked deeper into the village.

Throughout the night the whole village and the nearby castle were reduced to ruins, and thousands of skinned and crucifixed living people were laid on the side of the road every ten meters, their howls of pain spread through the forest, and the smell of their blood attracted some wild beasts.
