As the child of the southern lord, Chen Heng's relationship with the northern lord is not bad.

The beginning of this relationship originated from Chen Heng's friendship with Kuludo.

Although it may not be obvious on the surface, in reality, Kuroudo's family has a knight who is the leader of the northern lords.

Therefore, through Kurudo, Chen Heng was able to enter the circle of the Northern Lord, and he was also able to visit the old knight Slai.

This is the first stepping stone.

And then, in the previous half a year, in order to reverse his economic situation, Chen Heng also reached cooperation with many northern lords.

The lords of the north were generally very poor.

This is because on the one hand, the north is close to the desert and needs to prepare for war all year round, and on the other hand, the unique climate of the north has led to the low yield of the land there, and the grain production of the same land is far less than that of the south.

But that doesn't mean there isn't anything to the north to do.

Previously, Chen Heng had personally gone to the territory where the Kuludo family was located, conducted field investigations in it, and finally came to some conclusions.

Although the Northland is poor, it is not without any production.

First of all, there are the many furs of that place, and the various alien slaves from the desert.

Furs could be sold to nobles, and foreign slaves were also widely used to work on various estates.

As long as these things can be transported to the south, they can make a lot of profits.

In the past, it was not that no one realized the value.

It's just that the terrain to the north is too complex and too closed, and the road itself is not easy to walk.

In addition, it is infested with a large number of thieves, as well as alien races, which will make it too dangerous.

Walking in it, if the caravan itself is not strong enough, it is easy to get lost in it, and the danger is too great.

Plus, the same thing, Princess Oliman's territory is also there.

Weighing the pros and cons, the merchants preferred to travel to Princess Oliman's realm at a higher price than to travel further to the realm of the lord of the north.

In response to this situation, Chen Heng also made some efforts.

With the help of Kurudo's identity, he first hired a few lords from nearby roads at a high price, and then walked through it himself, barely opening a small trade route.

With Baron Caelin's connections, he could buy a large amount of grain and iron tools urgently needed in the north at a low price, and he could also use Kurudo's connections to buy furs and slaves from the lords of the north at a low price.....

Once you go back and forth, you can make a lot of profits.

And a considerable part of the profits earned will be paid into the pockets of the northern lords in the form of employment.

Suddenly, a micro-ecosystem of interests took shape.

When a person can bring you benefits and benefits, you will see that person differently than in the past.

Chen Heng was originally a very good person, and in this case, those northern lords would naturally have a better relationship with him.

And it can be expected that as time passes, Chen Heng's influence among the northern lords will be even more terrifying.

These are Chen Heng's bargaining chips, as well as the power that can be borrowed.

At this moment, Chen Heng couldn't help but fall into thought.

The current situation in Kutu instantly appeared in his mind.

A few years ago, in Kutu, the battle between Princess Oliman and another prince was very hot.

The reason why this happened is that, on the one hand, there is a tradition in the country of Kutu, where princes fight each other, and the winner is king, and on the other hand, the current king of Kutu is seriously ill and has been paralyzed in bed.

In this situation, the supporters of both sides drew their swords against each other, and the struggle became more and more intense.

This generation of King Kutu had only three children, and in addition to the half-brother and sister of Oliman and Venal, there was only one other prince.

Among them, Venar was born too late and because of his own personality, so there is little hope.

The final choice for the throne will most likely fall to Oliman and another prince.

Vennar's advantage is that he is based in the Northlands, has his own army, and his mother is a queen, and he has been in the spotlight since he was a child.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, I'm afraid the battle for the throne would have ended long ago, and it wouldn't have been fought for so long.

The other prince was born to a princess of a neighboring country, with the support of the maternal family, and was born very early, and is the only male heir to the current Kutu royal family, so he has the support of a considerable number of domestic nobles.

In general, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both are likely to reach the top, and the balance of power is generally maintained.

And in this case, the power of the Lords of the Northland is of great importance to them.

Although the lords of the Northland are closed and backward, they are also nobles in the end, and they have been fighting with desert aliens for a long time, and their military strength is definitely the strongest in Kutu.

If such a powerful group of forces can show their support for a certain person, then the effect is obvious.

In this case, Chen Heng, who was close to the Northern Lord and could influence the Northern Lord's decision-making to a certain extent, suddenly rose in value.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, in front of him, Kuludo was still standing there, looking at Chen Heng in front of him, and couldn't help but have some doubts.

"It's fine. ”

Chen Heng turned around, smiled, and then said, "Is Teacher Coribo back?"

"Not yet. ”

Kurudo shook his head, and when he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Judging from the last reply, I'm afraid it will be a long time before I come back." ”

"Okay. ”

Chen Heng sighed, a little disappointed.

He was going to start with Coribo and see if he could get some out of it.

After all, at present, as a student of Coripo, Coripo is also a very important card in his hand.

If he can influence Coripo's thoughts to a certain extent, then his plan will be easy to achieve to some extent.

As the Guardian Knight of the Kingdom, as long as Corripo is willing to speak out and openly support someone, it is easy to influence many people and give one of them a huge advantage.

As a student of Coribo, this identity is also the most important card for Chen Heng at present.

It's a pity that as early as more than a month ago, Corippo left the city of Kutu because of some of his own personal affairs, and he doesn't know where he went and when he will return.

Standing in place, Chen Heng pondered.

"Speaking of which, Princess Oliman usually doesn't enter Kutu, but recently came back suddenly, what kind of changes have happened to her?"

Chen Heng's face was calm, and this thought suddenly flashed in his heart.

At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart.

With the return of Oliman to Kutu City, the situation in Kutu City seems to be about to change in some way.
