Unless there is someone in this country who doesn't want to see Emperor Sel himself, and the person must be big enough.

Otherwise, they would not be able to calm down the anger of the desert country... Even if they were members of the rebels, Sean did not believe that any country would allow someone with the ability to wipe out an elite team of 20,000 to appear within its territory, not to mention that the people around him were of a high level.

We didn't encounter any problems during the three days and four nights out of Yalan Fort. We always set out during the day and rested early in the evening.

Everyone knows that there is a prince like him in the team, so special places for rest will be arranged!

Of course, there is no need to camp. We will stay in the most luxurious hotel in a specific place. If there is no such hotel, we will decorate the entire tent like a luxury suite, which is probably even more luxurious than when we marched in the desert.

Moreover, Earl Barton did not hesitate to spend any money, and prepared it for himself according to the highest standards.

Even if they stayed in a hotel, they would almost book the entire hotel, drive away all the remaining people, and also book the surrounding hotels to give to the soldiers who were traveling with them.

Generally speaking, the entire environment must be surrounded like an iron barrel, making it watertight, so as to ensure the safety he mentioned.

"It seems that this earl is willing to spend money!" Frelia commented on Earl Barton's performance these days.

"Don't underestimate cities with seaports. If I had a coastline back then, I would have been able to accumulate wealth exceeding that of all the southern cities in the Bashalan Empire in just a few years."

Sean was of course talking about the time when he was an earl...

In fact, I had planned a lot of cool things at that time, but things happened suddenly and I didn’t have the chance to carry them out.

Who would have thought that just by joining forces with a group of nobles to ask the king for an explanation, he would reveal his identity and many plans would have to be scrapped.

"I don't believe you! Do you think I'm the kind of little girl who is easily fooled? Do you know how many wealthy cities there are in the southern part of the Bashalan Empire? Your Oro City didn't even rank at that time." Frelia was originally the leader of the Imperial Wizard Organization. Sean probably didn't know as much about these issues as she did.

"Oh, don't disbelieve it." Sean retorted.

But Frelia just kept smiling and said nothing, her eyes full of disbelief.

But I can’t bear to say...

“I prepared a lot of things.”

"They are preparing to make money from the war, but it's only slightly better than the surrounding cities," said Frelia.

After Sean's incident, Oro City was indeed separated, and after the war with the Borg, some cities were indeed greatly affected, especially Koga City, which had first met the other side that year. Its wealth was instantly reduced a lot, but if one city suffered a loss, all would suffer. Oro City would not be independent of other cities. If it had not been separated, it might even be worse than Koga City.

"You don't know these things, but I made a lot of preparations at that time."

Looking back on what I did back then, the desire to develop the city was the most urgent, and everything was planned for the future and the present.

Agriculture, transportation, even industry and diplomacy, etc.

He had personally arranged everything, just waiting for the war to end and become the most prosperous city among the many cities. In the end, Luke took advantage of the situation.

"But then again, didn't you ask people to search everywhere for information about the ancient god's followers, and investigate history and archaeology?" Frelia's words suddenly reminded him.

This is true, and there was more than one person investigating at the time.

There are also students sent out to do research in the city... there are quite a lot of them anyway!

"Do you know about this?"

"I heard it from Nissa when I went there."

Nisha.

This name hasn't been called for more than a year. She was the highest-ranking person sent by Frelia's Sky-Covering Wings Witch at that time. Sean remembered that she was also a Xerxes and knew a little bit of alchemy. It was she who taught him the initial principles of alchemy.

"I remember she was a Kselker."

"Yeah." Frelia nodded.

Sean looked at her expression. He knew Frelia well enough not to bring up such things for no reason. Furthermore, given her current state...

"Did something happen to that Nissa?"

"No, you should have heard something about her when you were communicating with them before. She was the child who was bought and raised by my mentor after she fled from Kserk to the northern continent. Lately, you've all been discussing the 'Free People' organization, which reminded me of her. She mentioned a similar name before."

"Free man?"

"Yes."

Since this rebel organization appeared many years ago, perhaps children of that period should have heard of it.

"I've heard her talk about this rebel group before. It's said to be quite large and has been entrenched in some countries here for a long time."

"...Perhaps they have already occupied a large area of ​​land." Frelia said seriously.

The news in this world is always biased, but in fact, the news in any era may be biased. If someone wants to hide something, outsiders have no way of knowing it and can only hear some gossip from passers-by.

What's more, relatively far-flung places rely solely on tourism merchants to visit, and places with poor roads are mostly self-sufficient. Tourism merchants go there and leave in a few days, making it impossible to know the full situation of the local area... Over time, the news that comes out will be false.

If the 'free men' already have a territory the size of a country, then they are no longer just rebels, they can be said to be a hostile country!

"So it's best for us not to get involved in their country's fight?"

"Well, we are so far away...it's best not to worry about these things." Frelia reminded.

In fact, even if Frelia hadn't said it, Sean had no intention of reaching any cooperation with Emperor Serge on the matter of the 'free man'...

The cost for Jagun to come here is too high, and a few words of verbal support would be great.

"I understand," Sean said.

The hotel is quite spacious, with its own desk and rest area.

Sean, who felt like he hadn't read a book for a long time, randomly opened one of the drawers and found something placed in the most conspicuous place!

Take it out and take a look...

"Huh? What's wrong, Sean."

"It seems that the other side may have guessed what we want to do." He showed the note to Frelia.

This note must have been put in recently, because before I came, Earl Barton seemed to have asked someone to clean it up, so maybe it was put in at that time.

The note read:

"We didn't receive the tribute of the Philosopher's Stone and the Immortality Wine. The pirates hid them themselves... We don't want any conflict with the desert nations. We apologize for the robbery!"

The last name ends with 'free man'!

"this……"

After reading the note, Frelia hurriedly stood up and went out.

"Don't look for him anymore, he's probably already gone!"
