"Chiyo, the books that were looted from the Roman library......"

"Don't worry, those of my followers told me when I first came back...... The books you want are in perfect condition in the rooms they personally guard, and there are people patrolling them every day...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that when they brought those books back, there were some people who wanted to snatch those books and take them home as fuel for heating......

“...... That's why I said, these people are stupid!"

The anger in Will's eyes became more solemn, Hattori Chiyo hesitated, she subconsciously glanced at Richard who was talking to Cohen next to her - Will's condition now is really worrying......

"How stupid are they...... When you were in the old homeland, you can see it, Chiyo, from whose eyes should you have seen those creepy numbness...... They never took the initiative to stand up to the Council of Elders...... Of course, there have been ...... However, those who have come forward have never been supported by others...... For more than a thousand years, only my father has succeeded...... But his father ...... He didn't understand that those people were not worthy of his attention......"

"Alright, alright...... You dissipate your anger first, don't talk so much...... Along the way, have you had fewer arguments with Lord Richard?"

Chiyo Hattori tried her best to comfort Will, who was getting angrier and angrier the more she spoke, and at this moment, she also recalled her own experience. The eyes were in a trance, everything that happened in the past, everything that happened in the old home, seemed to be vivid...... Perhaps, Will, is right...... But Chiyo Hattori's sanity told her that Will, and Lord Richard, were not wrong!

Will also said that he was tired, and eventually, he sighed and reverted to silence.

Will knew that Chiyo Hattori, who had always been treated as his sister, had essentially been saying and listening to him and his father...... Because, he and his father, separated her from a shadowy family...... Rescued......

So just whin.

Just then, Will felt that the room was quiet, and he turned his head to look in the direction of his father and his uncle, the two men, and stopped arguing.

Uncle looked very angry...... The father, on the other hand, bowed his head with guilt.

Will's eyes narrowed, and he stood up, left his seat, and walked in their direction. When Hattori Chiyo found out about Will's actions, he hurriedly folded her and Will's furs carefully and placed them on their chairs, and then silently followed Will to the warmest part of the room where Richard and Cohen were.

Cohen spotted Will first, and he smiled reluctantly, pulled out a small stool from behind him, and moved it to the side, making room for Lemon. As for Hattori Chiyo...... Cohen has always been a neglecter, and he thinks that there is nothing good for anyone who comes out of that cursed, alien family!

“...... Will, what are you doing here?"

"What are you talking about, uncle?"

“...... I'm talking to your father about something...... Things in the war, son, come and sit here, I heard your father say, you have contributed a lot and worked hard along the way. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Will sat down in silence, and Chiyo Hattori also waited silently behind Will.

The firelight stretched Hattori Chiyo's figure for a long time, and it seemed that because of Will's arrival, this place finally had a trace of warmth.

Silence was spreading, whether it was Richard, Cohen, Will and Chiyo, they were silent at the moment.

After a long time, Cohen coughed and broke the silence first!

"Ahem...... Our people...... It's tough this winter...... You know what, Richard?"

"Well, I know. I've already instructed Ink Shadow to distribute supplies...... On the way to the north, I saw a series of tragic scenes in many cities and villages because of the severe cold weather...... How many casualties are we here?"

"Aside from the people you took with you, there were basically no casualties...... If there are casualties, there are also ...... Not on our side of the territory, though...... Rather, the Holy Race who fled from their homeland ......"

Cohen still stubbornly refers to the Holy Family's homeland as his homeland, even though the inhabitants of the Ivy Province have come to regard it as their true homeland. In terms of titles, it is also divided into old and new...... Cohen, however, seems to have a peculiar stubbornness.

Cohen looked at Richard's expression, which seemed to have guessed something, and gradually became gloomy, sighed, and continued.

"It's not your fault, Richard...... You must not take all this on yourself, otherwise, one day, you will not be able to bear it!"

"Cohen, tell me ......"

“...... All right...... During the harsh winter that lasted for more than three months, not long after you left, there was a severe shortage of food in our homeland...... You know, the location of the homeland is in the northwest of the Kingdom League, which is a desert, and the few lands that are not suitable for cultivation are also saline land...... The homeland has always relied on providing the Kingdom League with powerful soldiers, or...... women, in exchange for supplies. But because of this long period of cold weather, even the Kingdom Alliance has been affected a lot...... As a result, those holy clans who gathered in their homes and lived at the bottom were expelled in a different way...... Because as you know, the Council of Elders has an obligation to keep every Holy Family safe...... This is also written in the precepts...... It's a pity ......"

"So, how are they now......?

"Don't think badly, Richard. After receiving the news, I asked some people to go to my homeland to spread the news, claiming that Deya City could provide warm shelter and enough food for every saint who came from afar...... All in all, this is a good thing, and it at least lets the compatriots who still stubbornly remain in the Holy Clan know the true face of the Council of Elders...... They were placed by us as soon as they arrived!"

Richard listened to all this, the expression on his face changed, and Will was about to speak, but was stopped by Chiyo Hattori.

"That'...... How did you get to where you got to where you are now?"

"How else can you hold on? Digging grass roots, gnawing bark, even though we had food in stock for a long time, you know, we didn't behave like ...... at first Knowing in advance about this long winter is the same. Therefore, the holy clan in the territory, in the first month, ate half of the food we reserved, and after those refugees who came from afar, after arriving in Deya City, the situation in the territory was even worse - we rationed food according to the head, and there were incidents of fighting for food during the period, of course, they were all suppressed by me, some time ago, I asked my subordinates to brave the heavy snow to go to the Forest of Warcraft to hunt Warcraft, and dig ice caves on Deya Freshwater Lake to find frozen fish, and barely came over...... If you come back a few days late, you may be in trouble...... As for firewood for heating...... I can only say that it is enough until now!"

"Hmm...... I understood. ”

Richard nodded, then held out his hand to Will without looking up.

Will also didn't turn his head to look at him, and in the same silence, he took out the four spatial rings from his arms and handed them to Richard.

Chiyo Hattori watched this scene in front of Will, and he didn't know what to say......

"Anyway, you take these things first. ”

"What is this?"

"These are the legendary spatial rings, and you should know how precious they are...... Li Meng...... When Miss Anne greeted us to Blackthorn Castle, she gave me, Will, Ink Shadow, and Chiyo Hattori a spatial ring. I tried it, and it was indeed as rumored that it only took a small amount of mental power to open the space inside. The space contained in each spatial ring was ten cubic meters in size, in addition to the tailor-made magical equipment that Miss Anne had prepared for us...... The rest of the space was filled with Ole ...... Really, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't imagine the riches of the southern part of the empire, nor the wealth and ...... of the Morkawi clan Powerful!"

Cohen was stunned and took the four spatial rings from Richard's hand, and when he used his spiritual power to see the inner space of the ring, Cohen's hand trembled violently, and he almost threw the four precious rings into the fire that was about to be extinguished.

With trembling hands, he added another fire to the fire. Cohen couldn't help but pinch his face, and after noticing the pain, he realized that he wasn't dreaming!

There, according to preliminary estimates, there are almost a million Orray!

One million Ore, what is the concept?

The entire Roman Empire, all the provinces combined, brought the empire a year's income, only 10 million ore!

And the Roman Empire is the most powerful and wealthy country on the entire continent of Anvita!

1,000,000 Orray ...... That's the equivalent of one-tenth of the Roman Empire's provincial revenues for a year!

In the past seven or eight years, after Cohen decided to help Richard, he tried his best to get the whole family on Richard's side.

However, in the past seven or eight years, Cohen has only sent nearly 20,000 Orray supplies to Deya!

But now......

Cohen still didn't believe it, and he looked at the spatial ring in his hand suspiciously......

"Alright, Cohen. I have a general understanding of the current situation of my people...... I'll need you to build a secret room dedicated to storing gold!, and then I'll join you in returning to the south of the empire to see where there is any surplus to sell...... As for the territory...... Will, Deya City, I'll leave it to you...... Don't let me down...... Make sure we make it until we get back!"

"Yes, Father!"
