She Is Not a Witch Chapter 173: The Prince of Darkness
After completing the transaction in Ladored, the number of vehicles and personnel in the caravan has increased a lot.
After selling the Moonlight Cloth and the Extraordinary Fruit, Lorraine Hill used the Extraordinary Gold Coins to purchase a lot of local supplies. The cloth here is quite affordable.
Looking at the pile of old and tall carriages, the wheels creaked on the road, making people have to worry about whether they would crush the ruts.
Fortunately, the young lady of the caravan cast a spell, allowing the airflow to support part of the weight, which made it much easier to drive.
After packing up, the convoy restarted and slowly drove towards a distant direction along the winding road.
Sitting in the carriage, the body shook slightly. A small silverfinch stood in front of Lorraine Hill. The girl just took a small folded letter from its feet.
‘The harvest at the end of summer is complete, and now the new seeds are being sown...’
According to the brief description in the letter, the first batch of crops in Wenlani has been completed, and the promotion of new crop seeds and system innovations have begun throughout Longjiao Province. .
It seems to be going well, but another thing is mentioned at the end of the letter, that is, the Empire's provincial corps seems to have noticed that something is wrong, and a team of investigators will be dispatched to inspect the province soon.
I always feel that it is difficult to cover up. Lorraine Hill rubbed his head in distress. At this point in time, it is necessary to organize farmers to open up wasteland on a large scale, and many details cannot be concealed at all.
Where did these seeds come from, why the farmers are so obedient and excited, what is the new system on those notice boards, etc., etc., are difficult to explain.
Go back as soon as possible, see if you can drag the investigator, try to let the exposure time last for a few months, and wait until a batch of grain from Longjiao's province is mature, so that you can have the confidence to resist the empire.
After explaining to the captains of the caravan, Lorraine Hill prepared to return early.
"The rest of the journey will be left to Luna." Looking at this Emenas junior who just graduated, Lorraine Hill is still very relieved. The only thing to worry about is that some people who are too greedy and bold nobleman.
"No problem, I will take the caravan and goods back to Viscount Winlani." The girl lifted her skirt to salute, and then took a delicate purple folding fan and put it on her chest.
"Then I'll go first, see you in half a month." The girl nodded, and then disappeared into the sky like a breeze.

Back to Viscount Winlani, Lorraine Hill quickly found Lubin in the office. This young man is still writing letters to the presidents of various branches, telling them what they need to be alert and pay attention to recently.
"My lord, you are back." Because there was no one else in the office, this person directly addressed her as a girl.
"Well, I heard that the military has sent a team of investigators to Longjiao Province."
"Know their route?"
"I don't know, but they will definitely go to the big cities in Longjiao Province, and now they have attracted the attention of various branches of 'Dryer Wood'." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the map in front of him. Roughly marked.
"The territory of Longjiao Province is mostly mountainous, and the cities are distributed in the canyons between the mountains, and the capital of the province, Yaguan City, is the place where several giant canyons meet."
"These investigators will probably also advance along the canyon, as long as they observe along the way, they will be able to find out."
Looking at the map marked with each name, Lorraine Hill thought carefully.
Blocked? I'm afraid it will be more suspicious.
Intercept? This simply shows that there are problems in the counties of the province.
Let go? The large-scale reclamation and various new systems in the territory will be spread immediately.
It seems that there is no way to avoid exposure, but Lorraine Hill recalled the news he received not long ago.
Perhaps Li Daitao can be stiff and let another organization attract their attention, such as the butler who confused the former Viscount Winlani, and the Wolf Bone Alchemy Workshop behind him.
There must be something for these investigators to do, so that they will not care about these changes in the territory.
After thinking about it, Lorraine Hill asked, "Did you get any results from the 'Wolf Bone Alchemy Workshop' before?"
"Nothing more specific, I just found out that they belong to 'Bone Gold' and are a peripheral organization of this force."
"Isn't this very interesting? Maybe it will become a big news." Thinking of this, Lorraine Hill blinked, and that look made people want to pinch the girl's cheek, but it was a pity at this time No outsider saw it.
"Don't tell them deliberately, just let the other party know such rumors and clues inadvertently."
"I understand, I will arrange personnel to do it later."
"Well, that's it, if it doesn't work, then we can only make final preparations."
Although I don't want to start a war, if it is really impossible, then I can only start.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but if there is no beginning, there will be no future.
When the personnel were arranged at Lorraine Hill, various changes were also taking place in the imperial capital Titania.
In Earl Pater's mansion, a lively party is being held.
On the bright side, this is Earl Pater's birthday party, and many nobles and nobles from the imperial capital gathered here, but in the dark room where many guests were missing, a group of guests put on masks, and under the guidance of the messenger in red, Came to an underground room.
Candles were burning on the inside of the wall, and the lights shone on these faces. They walked forward quietly until they saw the boy sitting alone under the high chair back at the end of the long table.
There is a dim jewel lamp on the top of this young man's head, reflecting the short black hair, while his pupils are hidden in the shadow of the short hair. In front of him, covering his chin and face, this prince in the dark is so mysterious that many people are surprised.
Maybe before they came here, they were dubious, but now they believed in 80% of their hearts. With such a temperament, they are indeed qualified to be the ruler of the next generation of empires, even if he is still so young.
As expected of a descendant of His Royal Highness Ansroy, this brother of Ansair was engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Griffin under the arrangement of the emperor at that time, but unfortunately he died at his brother's wedding before he could get married .
However, unlike Ansair, he had a secret love affair before his engagement, but the other party's status is not high~IndoMTL.com~ is not suitable to be the queen of the empire, so this love affair had to end, hide in the dark.
But it was also because of this that the last bloodline was left behind for the crown prince brother. died of poverty and disease.
But now, the Dark Moon Clan of the empire has finally found the royal blood that was lost among the people, and those old nobles who were loyal to the crown prince in the past and were rejected by the current emperor also have a backbone again.
The idea of revival gradually became possible. They half-kneeled in front of the young man, swore allegiance, and expected to regain their lost power and position under the leadership of the young king.
"The blood of my blood, the blue moon of the sky, you will not fall into the sky, under the true red, there will be roses everywhere."
Surrounded by the red-robed Darkmoon Guards, these nobles swore piously one by one, cut their wrists, and let blood drip to the ground.
The bright red liquid swam on the ground as if it had come alive in the oath, and finally outlined a huge and extremely delicate blood-colored rose.
