I draw a card first

Chapter 22
Although the chaos brought huge losses to the Lion City, it also completely freed the Lion City from hidden dangers, just like scraping the bones to cure poison, removing rotten flesh to leave fresh flesh and blood, and being reborn from the ashes.

Aiwen first led Lilith who came out of the hidden room to thank the temples who came to help one by one, and said that the follow-up lion leader will donate a large amount of gold coins to the gods to express his respect for the gods. Thanks and respect.

There is no one who doesn't like money, and the leaders of these temples all laughed and expressed that they would continue to maintain their friendship with Baron Lion, even though the young female lord didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

After sending away the temples, Aiwen began to pack up the finishing touches after the battle.

There is no doubt that this is a mess. The dead and injured soldiers, civilians, damaged houses, and property all need to be counted and processed. The only thing that makes Aiwen gratified is that this has definitely made him a big profit.

Ivan had given away all the extravagant wealth of the rebels to the soldiers, but he looked down upon this. Those nobles, cult lairs, and the dark markets where fugitives gathered who were waiting for him to raid their homes were the real big deal.

Especially those nobles, although Aiwen can no longer kill them wantonly because of the interference of the temple forces, but he can completely expel them into exile for the crime of rebellion.

As for the huge wealth left by these people, Ivan naturally accepted it unceremoniously on behalf of Baron Lilith. This is the price that losers must bear.

There are a lot of gold, silver, jewellery, armor weapons, and magic props, but Aiwen attaches the most importance to those land deed properties that were originally firmly in the hands of Xungui!
These guys have mastered nearly four floors of land in the entire Lion City, and with these things, plus the part that the Lord's Mansion originally owned, nearly [-]% of the land in the entire Lion City will return to the hands of the Lord .

This will undoubtedly greatly facilitate the subsequent reconstruction of Lion City, and this is one of the reasons why Aiwen is on top of this group of people.

He can't control the ownership of the land, and he still rebuilds an egg!

But now that the hidden dangers have been cleared up, these tasks can be done slowly. Aiwen will make good arrangements for the main things, and the remaining old housekeepers will naturally help them deal with them one by one.

"It's really time to go to Waterdeep City, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with this month's auction!"

After signing the last document, Ai Wen stretched.

It was a small hand that suddenly grabbed his sleeve from behind, and Ivan, who had noticed it a long time ago, suddenly smiled.

"I also need to go!"

Lilith is the only one in the territory who can talk to Aiwen like this. Our quasi-baron is really depressed these days, and he can't help much even though he has become a professional.

And she couldn't tell others about this depression.

After all, the old butler has nagged in her ear countless times. As a lord, you should learn not to express your emotions. Unless you are the closest person, you should not easily express your negative emotions, so the old butler will not listen to her at all. .

As for Evan...

Hmm... Lilith always had the same feeling when facing her own father when facing him, she was a little scared...

Practicing the paladin's swordsmanship had no effect. Lilith had just taken a sip of water to take a breather when she suddenly thought that Aiwen was about to leave, and her heart moved. She threw the water bottle and ran over directly, planning to go out with someone for a tour of Deep Water City. change.

On the one hand, it's just for relaxation, and at the same time, it's to see it. She has never been there before, and she only knows that Waterdeep City is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire continent, and Lion City is simply incomparable.

"Okay, let's go together then"

Aiwen touched Lilith's head with a smile, and the smooth long hair felt overwhelming. The girl was obviously dissatisfied with this, and shook her head to push his hand away.

Although Little Pegasus has a small name, its body shape is more than two meters high and five meters long, so there is no pressure at all to bring two people.

And this is the first time the girl begged herself in this period of time, and she should really take Lilith to see different places, so Aiwen would naturally not refuse.

In the final analysis, he is just a passer-by. One day, Lilith will be the lord by herself. It is necessary to broaden her horizons to make decisions that will determine the lives of countless people.

In this way, the two of them happily left a pile of mess to a large number of retired old butlers, and happily started their trip to Waterdeep City.

Old Butler: …

Due to the intervention of extraordinary forces in the geography of mountains and rivers at this time, there are often situations that seem to completely violate the laws of nature.

For example, the area near the lion collar.

To the west of the Lion's Land is a mountain range, where the Canyon of the Dead is located, and on the opposite side is the Sunset City, which is located on a plain.

In the south of the territory, there is a swamp with a large number of small rivers and fine water networks. If you cross this small swamp, it is an unusually abrupt and vast wilderness. The harsh environment can hardly be seen from the sky. plants, animals.

Like an ugly scar on a piece of land.

A strange corrosive gas that can corrode and consume life force is mixed in the air in this area. Although the content is extremely small and cannot cause any harm to medium-sized life forms like humans, it is enough to easily suppress most ordinary plants, small animals, and insects. survival and reproduction.

Fortunately, the swamp next to it brought enough water vapor, which moistened the land and at the same time allowed a very small number of tenacious life to multiply in front of it, otherwise it might have been desertified long ago.

This is clearly the remnant of a terrible battle that predates even the history of the Lion family a thousand years ago.

Flying over this wasteland, the plants began to flourish again, and a huge mountain towering straight into the sky appeared in front of Ivan and Lilith.

The entire mountain peak is completely unscientific and straight, and there are no plants living on it. The deep black color is like a broken section of a super giant long sword stuck straight into the ground.

You can clearly see many birds building nests on the top of the "Broken" mountain, and Ivan even saw the figure of the giant eagle that Lanster had transformed into.

"I just don't know if there will be Yalong?"

Ai Wen couldn't help but think of the blood injection in his hand, so he couldn't help but look at the birds a few more times. As a result, he really vaguely saw several flying dragons with obvious dragon blood.

These three-headed behemoths covered with bone spurs and waving two teams of black wings are hunting some neutral bird creatures, and they are obviously also a tyrant in the sky.

Flying to high altitude to avoid these flying creatures, Aiwen quickly crossed the Broken Sword Mountain. The vast rain forest soon reached the end in their eyes, and an endless purple and blue appeared in front of them.

This is the ocean of this world.

Containing rich elements, the purple-tinged blue water is endless, and it breeds extremely rich species and even civilized races.

As far as Ivan knows, there are at least three marine life kingdoms in the offshore area of ​​this sea area, so it is still very dangerous to break into the beach in this world. This is the "border line" of others.
