eadx ();? It was already night.

Elfa sat across from Ron in the wide chamber, watching him with amusement in her eyes.

In the middle of the chamber was a large map of Ebia, which took up an entire wall. It was so large that it was extremely clear, and Ron couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"You're called Ron, right? I've heard of you!" After a long silence, Elfa finally took the initiative to speak.

"You've heard of me?" Ron raised his head, stunned. This envoy representing His Majesty Nicolay, the high and mighty senior minister of the Empire, Lord Elfa, has actually heard of me?

"You and Princess Angel are very good friends, so I've heard of you!" Elfa smiled, "Don't even mention Princess Angel, even His Majesty Nicolay has praise for you …"

"His Majesty Nicholas..." Ron was a little touched, but just as he was about to say something, a red shadow flashed in the chamber. It was Juliana.

Behind her followed Catherine, whose eyes were red as if she had just been crying, who looked up slightly, glanced at Ron, then looked down again.

"Eldest Miss!"

"Eldest Miss!"

Elfa, Ron, and Vivian all rose, and Elfa took off his hat and performed a standard aristocratic salute.

"We are all on the same side, there's no need to be polite!" Sit down! " Juliana smiled and waved, then sat down in the middle, "Sorry for being late!"

After a moment of silence, the two began to get down to business.

Elfa stood up first and said, "Miss, regarding the matter of opening the material passage, this is what our Empire is considering …"

"Material passage?" Ron felt a surge of interest.

"Lord Envoy, speak!" Juliana lightly said.

Elfa stood up and walked quickly to the map. "According to my deductions, my lady," he said, "the first thing your army should do is take over this place."

As he said that, he pointed to a piece of the map. "And here..."

"This is Twilight City, the City of Dawn. It can connect to Manchester, Multicolored Stone Castle, and especially the Multicolored Stone Castle. This location must be opened. As long as these resources are made available, the resources that our Roland Empire will provide will endlessly reach the hands of your Ebia's rebel army …"

"These supplies include food, weapons, and even … "Soldier …" When Elfa spoke of the "soldiers," she clearly paused to observe Juliana's reaction.

Juliana's face remained impassive, but in fact she knew it.

"Think about it! "Having cleared the path of materials and become a backer of the Roland Empire, it is not as though you, Aibia, have no hope of regaining your country..." Elfa said seductively, making Juliana's heart stir.

Looking at Elfa's hand falling on the location of the colored stone castle, Juliana slightly sighed in her heart. This colored stone castle was originally the fortress of the Kingdom of Ebia to resist the Roland Empire, but now it has become an important city to the Roland Empire.

There were no eternal interests between countries, and Juliana knew this very well. Although they had a common enemy, Holy Empire, how could the assistance of the Roland Empire be so easy to obtain? Once the material passage was opened, the entire Ebia would be under the control of the Roland Empire. Perhaps their future days would be a little easier, but the reunification of the Kingdom of Ebia was still far off in the future.

The reason was very simple. The Roland Empire only wished to make the Ebia a nuisance to the Holy Empire in exchange for some political benefits. They didn't intend to do so for the sake of the revival of the Kingdom of Ebia. If Juliana had even the slightest intention of unifying the kingdom, the first one who wouldn't let her go would be the Roland Empire.

From this point of view, His Majesty Nicholas of the Roland Empire was worthy of being called a political expert.

"What do you think, my lady?"

Was this aid to be given or not? Juliana was in a dilemma, but her face remained impassive.

Being a chess piece was indeed a type of sorrow.

Ron dropped his hand to the map. Manchester, Twilight, the City of Dawn, and the Chalcedony Castle were all linked together, and the Albiya Rebellion's territory had suddenly expanded many times over, favoring Juliana in every way, but he also knew that what seemed to be of enormous interest was often more complicated behind the scenes.

Ron didn't know politics, and he didn't want to.

He took a sip of his tea, took a deep breath, and said, "This tea is good!" After saying that, he no longer spoke, quietly waiting for Juliana's decision. This was also his mission as the special envoy of the Roland Empire.

After a moment of silence, Juliana finally spoke up, "Envoy, we are very grateful for the Roland Empire's help, but you should also know that we, the Ebia, have been surrounded and annihilated for many years by Holy Empire. We have lost all our strength, so I'm afraid we don't have the strength to take back these places …"

Elfa smiled. "Eldest Miss, as you know, our Empire cannot publicly interfere in your fight against Holy Empire. Everything can only be done in secret. If Holy Empire controls those places, our assistance will be greatly reduced …"

Juliana fell silent. It was not as if she did not know how important it was to have a smooth and smooth supply channel under her control.

"Eldest Miss, you should know that in our cooperation, besides displaying our sincerity, there is another important point. That is our strength …"

At this point, Liefa paused, took a sip of tea, and continued, "First Miss, let me put it more clearly. Although the assistance is free, the empire's money isn't from the wind. Besides, some things can't be bought with money …"

If you want to cooperate with the Empire, then you need to have the corresponding strength, and clearing the material passage with your own strength is the proof of your strength. Although I'm the Special Envoy of the Empire and have a certain friendship with you, Eldest Miss, if the Empire's money goes down the drain, I'll have to go to a military court …

Elfa's voice was not very loud, but every word that struck at Juliana's heart made her feel breathless. It was easy to say, but it was not so easy to attack several important cities. She wanted to fight, but she was not sure.

As if seeing through Juliana's dilemma, Elfa bowed slightly, "Miss, you'd better think about it."

Juliana nodded expressionlessly, "Someone, bring the envoy to rest!"

After Elfa left, Ron stood up as well. He was in a hurry to see his students and to explain the matter.

Finally, he was able to recruit a student. Ron was somewhat excited as the matter of Homelin's request for him to rebuild the Church of Calamity and restore the glory of Necromancy was no longer a distant thing. As long as he nurtured the students well, he would be able to lay a solid foundation for the Church of Calamity.

"Ron, I need your help!" Juliana sighed. Although she didn't want to say it, she still said it out loud. From her personality, she didn't like to beg others, but now she had no choice but to do so.

Ron jerked to a stop, hesitated, then said, "I'm sorry, miss. I'm a teacher. I'm afraid I can't help you much."

"You can do it!" Juliana raised her head and laughed, "Kathleen told me that the strength you displayed was only the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, you also have the corpse puppet of a Saint realm expert.

"Is that so?" asked Ron, glancing at Catherine, who looked down without a word, biting her lip, avoiding Ron's sword-sharp gaze.

"I refuse!"

With a twitch of his lips, Ron finally refused. He knew that once he was tied to the rebel army's chariot, there would be endless trouble for him. Although Ron wasn't afraid of trouble, this was already going against his original intentions.

Although he was good friends with Catherine, he had no obligation to give anything for her.

Then Ron turned and strode away, ignoring the two of them, his heart heavy with disappointment at Catherine.

Vivian stood up, too, and glared at Catherine, who sat there without looking up.

As if expecting Ron's reaction, Juliana leaned back in her chair, her eyes blurred, a smile on her lips.

"Ron, you should think more about your students."

"What?"

His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap in Ron's ears. He stopped abruptly and turned his head in astonishment.

"What did you say?" said Ron, staring into Juliana's eyes, and the fury in them was unquenchable.

"I say, this is an exchange. You can either help me or go by yourself, and for those children who want to learn necromancy from you, you can forget about taking any of them away!"

"What you said doesn't count!" "They're my students."

"But they are my people!" "I have the right to decide everything about them!"

Ron's chest heaved, and he clenched his fists angrily.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, Juliana softened her tone, "Ron, I don't want to make things difficult for you either. I just want you to help me. Perhaps my request is a little excessive, but I have no choice. You are Catherine's friend. I hope you can understand me better!"

After saying that, she stretched out a finger, "The material passage, I just want you to help me open up the material passage, take over Twilight City and Dawn City, connect to the Color Rock Castle, we will settle the other small towns …"

"I believe that your skeleton army will bring us a huge surprise …"

Juliana finally revealed her purpose.

Without a word, Ron turned and walked away, ignoring Juliana's anxious call. Section error, click on this report (no registration), after reporting the maintenance personnel will correct chapter content within two minutes, please wait patiently, and refresh the page.
