Chapter 162: One Conquest
"Sir ..., you better get back to the Dukedom region immediately." Emotions soon vanish from Ellijah's face. His blue eyes looked at the communication ball in front of him like they were looking at a parasite that was bothering him.
Count Mupion, the vassal who had served Duke Frost for several centuries silent on the spot, was still unfamiliar with the indifference of his superior. If the old Duke Frost was a big and ruthless man, this Frost Duke was cold and did not care about anything. Well, anything but her fiance. Although it was because of his master's reputation as a master of the ice-styled sword that prevented the Northern bar tribe from attacking the Frost region, the administration as well as the management aspect of the area was left entirely to the subordinates. It also had given the idea to greedy or unfaithful vassals to embezzle money and do illegal things in Dukedom Frost. Fortunately the phase was not long, because Duke Frost did not hesitate to behead anyone who dared to damage the good name of his family or potentially drop the wealth of Frost that remained abundant. Ellijah became a feared superior, his subordinate's obedience rooted in a sense of terror.
Thus, now Count Mupion desperately ventured to express his opinion, afraid that there would be a word that unintentionally offended Duke Frost. "You've been in the capital too long. U-um, the northern bar-bar tribe seems to be taking advantage of the Lord's absence to get ready to attack. There are reports of suspicious movements at the border."
Hid.
Bar-bar people, humans do not know there is always a source of problems.
"Strictly border guard, the soldiers who do not do their duty well will be cut in salary. It's free they're given a high thrash if they keep the wilds from being overwhelmed."
Ellijah still can't go home, too many flies are crowding the flowers.
"Ba-good, Sir. Em, and also-"
"What else?"
The Count almost jumped with a sharp intonation from the man who was only half his age. "That's it, we found "instant gate"!"
"What do you mean by "instant gate"?"
"I mean s-me, the gate that was lost only by a s-once conquest!"
Hoh, this is new.
Ellijah himself knew that the number of gates that appeared in these few months increased from the average number, but the gate that immediately disappeared after being conquered? The gate will usually only be destroyed after 10 batches of soldiers successfully run the mission in it, because that gate itself can be a business resource that can be utilized, and therefore the gate itself can be used as a business resource, therefore the right to subjugate the level gate is often contested. But now there's a "instant gate"?
"M-they said that the mission they got was a week long survivor, there were several types of low-level monsters, and the surrounding environment in the form of tall buildings like broken stalls."
"A tall building like a palace? Civilizations of the past?" Many scholars argue that the gate is the door to foreign places, can be from the past, the future, or even the other world.
"Right, Sir. In addition, they also look at four-wheeled vehicles such as horse carriages but the entire body is made of iron. Um, maybe the royal family has information on this phenomenon?"
Royalty library is indeed declared as a gathering place for books from all corners of the world. Ellijah had to ask for a ticket to one of the royal families.
... It was a good reason to ask Eve to be alone with him.
After all, Eve had always been interested in gates, [System], or other dimensions.
With this, Ellijah hoped to slightly direct the attention of her fiance to herself, not the dragon boy and the monster tamer who appeared out of nowhere.
Also, they haven't discussed Eve's companion at next week's birthday party.
There's no way Eve's refusing her invitation, is there?
Ellijah is not her fiance, so Eve will automatically pair with her, right?
Ellijah.
But his paranoid thoughts are hard to stop.
