239. Competition

The walnut office desk was painted with a thick layer of varnish, and the desks carved with repeated patterns were greasy in the room. A bunch of white daffodils was inserted into the vase of gilded patterns on the table. Alia sat on an office chair, looking at the invitation to the party piled on the table with a distressed look, and simply pushed it around. Some of the exquisite letters even cut from the table to the marble floor.

Alia's golden hair was casually tied to the back of her head with a hairpin. Her inexplicable annoyance made her face sternly, and said to Betty: "Take it all out and find any reason to reject them."

"Okay, master," Betty said.

The personal maid quickly took the invitation letters away, and even gave me a wink before leaving. I couldn't understand what she was hinting at me. Should I ask me to be safe? Or to help her solve her current troubles, but I didn't even know what she was troubling.

The magic pattern spider silk cloth was popular with the elves, and then this fabric was recognized by the elves, so that a large number of magic pattern spider silk cloths were sold overseas. This not only created a huge wealth for the Green Empire, but also made Alia very famous in the Didu textile industry. Alia's textile workshop has been expanded three times, and now it almost occupies the entire magic pattern spider silk cloth market in the Green Empire.

In the textile industry, Alia has gained a certain right to speak, and she is respected by some people because she has excellent fabrics in her hands.

For her, this kind of respect was earned by her hard work. The last time I went back to Didu, she mentioned these things to me complacently.

But something seemed wrong today. She seemed to resist these dance invitations, and she was getting angry...

I walked behind her, pressed my hand on her shoulder, and covered her glasses with a little bit. She didn't resist, but her body was a little stiff. I whispered to her, "Close your eyes, take a deep breath... to calm the world!"

As I said these words, a faint and weird blue magic pattern array appeared under my feet, and the early magic effect of 'hypnosis' appeared under my feet, similar to 'Sang Shen'. My thumb gently pressed her forehead and asked her: "What are you worried about?"

Alia crossed her hands and raised her chin with her back, complaining to me: "Since lately, there are always people talking about some topics about me."

"I thought you didn't care what others said." I smiled and said.

I have never seen her show such an expression. She held my hand and said to me: "Recently, many people want to know you through me and try every means to ask me about you."

I laughed in silence and said, "I thought everything about me was exposed by the Didu Magic News, and there will be people who are interested in me."

That summer last year, I appeared in the Didu Magic Newspaper almost every few days. I think anyone who reads the Magic Newspaper often should know me.

Alia squinted her eyes and looked at the knight as if she enjoyed it. She said to me: "If you appear at a dance party in Didu now, you will definitely be surrounded by some nobles and socialites. They are very interested in you. In addition, there will be a lot of nobles who want to make friends with you. Until the end of the dance party, you will be surrounded by some finished rune board buyers and are surrounded by people to ask about the latest news in the rune board workshop."

"Even if I have married Qi Ge and Ying Li, they don't care?" I asked Alia in surprise.

"Do you think I care?" Alia did not answer positively, but just asked me back.

I think this sentence is fortunately not heard by Qige and Yingli, otherwise I would feel better. I asked Alia: "Because the plane war in the Yero plane won, I have gained a lot of fame in Didu?"

Alia smiled charmingly. She raised her head and pressed her lower abdomen, looked up at me and said, "Your current fame... is not brought about by that plane war. Now many people are asking about you because you said at the Runeboard Supplier Conference that you should prepare to sell some finished magic rune boards to the outside world."

Runeboard finished product buyers are really realistic.

I couldn't help asking, "What about the celebrities who want to get close to me, what do they think?"

"...What can they have any ideas? They just want to see who the young magician who made Billy Babbinton look so angry was." Alia said with a smile.

"Uh..." I was a little speechless.

Alia's mood has improved.

So she said to me: "Gija, I suddenly felt that staying in Didu was boring recently."

I suggested: "Then where are you going? If you don't have any good ideas, I can send you to the town of Trum for vacation. The Nebru Spiderman has already withdrawn from the Black Forest. At present, it is very safe there. The town of Trum is surrounded by forests. It is a resort, but the weather is a bit stuffy."

But Alia mustered up the courage and said to me: "I mean I want to go back to Sloyd."

"What's wrong with this? Then go." I said to Alya.

She stretched out her arms and hooked her neck, then raised her head and asked for a kiss.

Alia's entangled mood did not last long before she recovered. When she heard that the town of Trum was currently short of daily necessities, she immediately began to plan with Betty to buy the items needed for the town. However, as long as the humid and stuffy weather on the Yero plane was taken into consideration, any fresh ingredients could not be stored on the Yero plane for too long. These foods are different from flour and will not deteriorate easily as long as they are not damp.

I wanted to provide meat in Trum town to become the primary issue, and then Alia said to me: Otherwise, transport all the canned lunch meat and meat floss bricks stored in the Qige Trading Company to Trum first!

"By the way, the Orc Tribe also produces a kind of raw jerky meat. This jerky meat is a bit like dry firewood when chewed, but it can be soaked in water for a while and it will become soft. This jerky meat can be stored for a long time, and the most important thing is that there are many in the Orc Tribe."

I thought of a good idea and said to Alia.

Then I said: "I have prepared a batch of giant crossbow arrows with silver ornaments in erotic patterns, but I have to sign a series of customs clearance documents and obtain official signed documents before I can transport those holy silver crossbow arrows to the Pai Plateau."

"What are you going to ask those orc warriors to exchange for your Holy Silver Crossbow Arrow? Are they just those raw jerky meat?" Alia asked me with a smile.

I stood behind Alia, looked up at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said, "That's right..."

...

When I walked out of Alia's manor, I saw this gorgeous magic car parked across the street, with the badge of Prince James's mansion printed on it. A middle-aged man with a butler's appearance walked down from the car and walked straight towards me.

This is the magic caravan in the Prince's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Prince James would send someone to find me, and he was guarding me outside the Alia Manor.

This series of events made me a little stunned. I was even a little nervous, worried that Prince James would suddenly walk out of the carriage and the scene would be awkward. Fortunately, my worries were unnecessary. There was no one else in the magic carriage. I only breathed a sigh of relief when I sat in the magic carriage.

I followed the magic caravan to the James Lakeside Manor, and Prince James was waiting for me in the pavilion in the back garden.

This pavilion is built directly in the lake water, surrounded by well-connected water corridors. This garden is designed in a very elegant way.

"Recently, the top leaders of the entire Green Empire Congress have been talking about Zach, the son of the Duke of Samoyed, and his fiancée, the princess of Salta, Miss Ernestine. When people hear about them, many people will first mention Miss Ernestine, and always talk about her another prominent identity, the leader of the Ninth Constructed Knights of Durva Province, and the victory of the plane war in the Durva Province, which has a lot to do with her." Prince James said to me straight to the point.

It turned out that Prince James asked me to talk about this, I thought to myself.

It seems that the news of the great victory in the plane of Jero has reached Didu. Prince James could have known these things in advance from Le Die, but the willful Le Die is still staying in the town of Trum. She said she would stay for a few more days, but I couldn't do anything to her.

I said, "Ernestine is indeed a very competent leader of the Knights' Order."

Prince James stared at me seriously and said, "The victory of the Jero plane this time greatly increased the lords' confidence in plane war. I heard that the ten components of the North Wind Legion entered the Jero plane, and you wrote a letter to Duke Aile in private to borrow it?"

The gaze in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and when he looked at me, it made me sweat on my back.

I could only say honestly: "Well, the situation in the Yero plane was a bit bad at that time. Zach and Ernestine came to Didu and tried to persuade the lords to send troops to the Yero plane. Unfortunately, the lords who had the Knights in their hands were too cautious and were not optimistic about the situation in the Yero plane. At that time, the lords all refused Zach's request, so Zach and Ernestine ran to the Royal Academy of Magic to find me and asked me to Jing. Duke Yue wrote a letter hoping that the North Wind Legion could draw out a few Knights of the Constitution to support the plane war in the Jero plane. I also wrote a letter to Duke Jingyue with the idea of ​​trying it out. Unexpectedly, Duke Jingyue agreed and directly sent ten Knights to magic airships and sent them to Durva Province. When I received the reply from Duke Jingyue, the North Wind Legion's Knights of the Constitution had arrived at Durva."

Prince James asked me again: "You are very familiar with Marquis Zach, Miss Ernestine?"

Of course I am very familiar with it. I am already a comrade-in-arms squatting in a trench. Do you think you are familiar with it?

But I couldn't explain these to Prince James, so I could only explain: "It's okay. We have had several contacts before. I have cured his injuries. He also helped me get some black-scale war horses, and later I gradually became familiar with them."

Prince James said to me again: "Charles was very happy after receiving the news of the victory of the Jero plane war. He had already sent the imperial edict to formally summon Zach and Ernestine. It is estimated that the official documents that will be summoned have been sent to the Duke of Dulva's mansion. In this war, of course, I also saw some shadows of the North Wind Legion and you, but since I have not publicly awarded Duke Aile, your reward will probably be suppressed."

I think this may be the reason why he talked to me, just to tell me tactfully that there was nothing I had to do with the victory in the Jero plane this time.

Prince James continued: "The two major legions in the north and south involve the core interests of the Angel Boulder royal family. What Charles is most reluctant to see is that the powerful North Wind Legion appears inexplicably on a certain plane. This war on the Jero plane probably won't disclose your achievements to the public. You have to weigh this matter."

I spread my hands, looked helpless, and said, "I understand, this is also a disguised protection for me."

Prince James nodded and said, "I'm glad you can think so. I have to say that you did a good job in the plane of Jero, but I still said before. If you need territory and fiefdom, I can draw a piece of you in the plane of Manda, or you feel that the territory obtained in this way does not have any sense of belonging, and you can also bring your group of knights to fight on the undeveloped territory of the plane of Manda."

I know that the Manda plane is the richest plane in Prince James's hands. The name of this plane is named after Mrs. Manda. Since he said he supported me to open up a territory on the Manda plane, he obviously knew the news that I became a noble Marquis.

But then I thought about it and then declined, "James, thank you for opening the Manda plane to me, but I have already built Trum in the Yero plane. There are many things that I have to wait for me to plan in that town, and I have to take into account the academics on Didu. I may not have the energy to explore new territory in the Manda plane for the time being."

Prince James was a little surprised. He didn't expect me to refuse, but he still said to me: "You can do it any time, and I will open the door of the Manda plane for you whenever you want."

"I heard you are doing rune board business?" Prince James asked again.

“I have a rune board workshop in the seventh block,” I said.

Prince James said to me again: "If you encounter something that is difficult to solve, you can find Donald from the Military Control and Logistics Department, and you can usually come to the Lakeside Manor for a walk."

I said seriously, "I will, James."

James showed a gentle smile on his face: "Manda has specially prepared Buenos-style afternoon tea for you. If you try the elf biscuits, be careful not to eat too much..."

I didn't expect to see Mrs. Manda again. I hesitated for a moment, and then said to James: "James, the orc tribe of the Pai Plateau recently..."
