"Is Lady Madeleine alright?"

Obviously, after the death of Duke Oliver, Edward II did not know much about the fortress, and Madeleine was probably the only one who knew him.

"Madame Madeleine wanted to come with her, but unfortunately since the death of the Duke, her health has deteriorated day by day, and the lord has not dared to work on her."

Jennifer sighed to herself when she thought of Madeleine, who was now bedridden.

Edward seemed to know some about the relationship between Duke Oliver and Madeleine, and nodded and sighed after hearing this.

The two sides continued to exchange a few polite words.

Because Edward had lived in Thunder City for a while, and talked about some things about the Tulum Kingdom, he got to the point.

"This time, I mainly hope to continue to purchase ore from your country."

Jennifer directly expressed her intentions.

Akibara City is in ruins, requiring a large number of various materials and ores, and Twilight City will no longer lack raw materials for a short time after having the "Kobold Miner Team", but the two places are too far apart to be transported.

In comparison, the location of Akubara Castle is closer to Dadamir, and even because the two countries share a border, it only takes a day to transport ore directly from the nearest mine to Akubara Castle.

"Miss Jennifer, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that Dadamir is having some trouble right now......," Anissa said on her father's behalf-honoured note.

"Rest assured, we will buy at the normal price, His Majesty has been selling us ore at near cost price before, and the lord has often said that we should be grateful."

"Dadamir and Shaya have always had a close relationship, which is nothing, not to mention that once the orcs are wreaking, it will not benefit anyone."

"It's a pity that not everyone thinks so." Jennifer thought that in the early days of the construction of Winterfell, the surrounding countries and territories, even Tulum's own territory, took the opportunity to increase the price, and it was completely as if you could not buy it, and she didn't consider the orcs at all.

"But it's not a question of price anymore." Anisha sighed: "I believe Miss Jennifer should know that Dadamir has suffered a natural disaster and the grain harvest is serious, and we ...... Now there is no one to even mine the mines by hand......"

"Is it so serious?" Of course, Jennifer knew about this, on the one hand, the purchase of ore was indeed urgently needed to build the city, and on the other hand, Colin confessed to take care of the other party's business, but she really didn't expect that it was so serious that the mine was shut down, which was tantamount to entering a vicious circle.

"Didn't you consider buying some food from the surrounding area for emergencies?"

"Our relations with neighboring countries have always been very ordinary." Anisha said euphemistically, but secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, where is the general, they have already met in battle.

Behind the two sides, one is Tulum and the other is the Blue Alliance, but only in terms of economy, the help Dadamir has received cannot be compared with other countries.

"What's more, grain has always been the most difficult to buy, and even if countries have a little grain stockpile, they must think long-term and dare not sell it easily." Anisha sighed.

"In this case, Xia Ya still has some food in stock, if you don't dislike it too little, maybe you can sell some, don't worry about the price, we know how to exchange courtesies." Jennifer laughed.

"Xiaya?" Anisha had just told her father about it, but could the Twilight Fortress still have extra food?

"In fact, we are building a new city in the north, called Akibara Castle, not far from Dadamir, and as a neighbor, there may be a lot of trouble in the future." Jennifer said.

"Earl Frank's domain?" Edward was keen to pick up on some information.

"Count Frank sent people to assassinate the lord, burn grain and grass, in an attempt to destroy the defense of the fortress, lure the orcs into the pass and plague the entire southern and western continents, fortunately, the lord took the opportunity to send troops to quell the rebellion, and now the territory of the earl and the three barons has been recovered...... That was half a year ago......"

Jennifer found herself blushing and her heart skipping a beat when she said these words now.

Edward and Anisha were surprised at the same time.

Although they were not far away, they were so troubled by the dispute over the Emerald Lake and the food problem that they didn't care about what happened to Xia Ya next to them.

Thinking of the executive order that Alan IV was implementing, Edward was not surprised by Colin Vane's approach, but what was really surprising was how the fortress, which had been dragged down by the orcs, divided its forces to reclaim the territory? You must know that behind Frank there is also the Duke of Valrant.

However, he quickly put the matter aside for the time being, after all, the food problem is the main thing at the moment.

"Miss Jennifer, to tell you the truth, we still have a big food shortage......

"I don't know how much Your Majesty needs?"

"This ......," Edward looked at Anissa.

Anissa, who is now fully in charge of the grain management, hesitated for a moment and said: "It will take at least three months until the next rye season is ripe, and if we can, we hope to be able to purchase ......."

As she spoke, Anisha stretched out five fingers, her face looked ashamed, obviously feeling that her request was a bit excessive, and immediately added: "Wheat bran and bean skin are fine. ”

Jennifer thought for a moment, felt that this was basically the same as her expectations, and nodded, "There should be no problem." ”

Seeing that the other party was so happy, Edward hesitated a little: "Won't there be any problems with the Twilight Fortress?" ”

Jennifer said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, after the lord came to the fortress, he has worked hard for more than two years, and the food has finally improved a little, not to mention that before coming this time, the lord also explained that you and the Duke of Violet are good friends, no matter how difficult it is for Xiaya, you must help." ”

"Please bring my thanks back to your lords." Edward said sincerely.

"I will." Jennifer smiled: "Then, 50,000 bags of rye and gray kidney beans will be delivered to the border within two months, and please prepare for the handover." ”

"Good ......" Edward froze as he said a word, and looked at his daughter beside him with some confusion.

Anisa also opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She originally meant five thousand bags.

These numbers won't be enough for everyone to survive this time, but at least they will keep the mine from shutting down.

The most important thing is that she thinks that Xia Ya herself will not have much food in stock, and it makes no sense to say more.

However, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, it was 50,000 bags.

Is the lord who has only been here for a short time ready to withdraw from the fortress after this year?

"Miss Jennifer, I mean...... 5,000 bags ......"

"Five thousand bags?!"

Jennifer was even more surprised than the other party: "How is that enough?" ”

How many people Dadamir has, maybe Edward himself doesn't know, after all, there are very few lords in this world who will do such a thing as counting the population, on the one hand, it is difficult to operate, on the other hand, the affairs in the subject territory are generally not reported to him, only if there is a serious problem such as famine, he will be asked for help.

However, Jennifer estimated a little, and also knew that 50,000 bags of food was only enough for tens of thousands of people to barely starve to death in three months.
