The secret of death is hidden in the Underworld. Only by comprehending it can one ascend the throne of the underworld.

——Prophecy in the Courtyard

After the Festival of Enlightenment, people returned to their daily lives.

In a tavern at the port of Aegean Island, several soldiers stationed on the island from the Tudor Kingdom finished their drinks, threw down a dozen silver bills and prepared to leave.

"I'm sorry, sir, the price of drinks has gone up."

"The price has increased?"

The somewhat drunken soldier punched the boss in the face and said, "How dare you blackmail me? If it weren't for military discipline, you would be tired of living."

"Okay, Hanz, don't cause any trouble."

The soldier who beat the man was stopped by his companions, but Hantz was still unwilling to give up. He spat at the fallen boss before leaving.

"These military ruffians, if the commander were still here, these guys who violated the three laws and eight precepts would definitely be beheaded."

The boss was helped up tremblingly, and couldn't help but recall Xia Lan's commune period, when people lived a good life.

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. I don't know why, but banknotes have become less and less valuable recently."

Someone in the tavern echoed.

"Humph, what a bullshit Polo Kingdom was established, bah, damn Gis Zilaner."

The boss ignored the pain and covered the person who was talking. He looked around and shouted, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."

Breaking free from the tavern owner, the man who spoke angrily said, "What are you afraid of? I'll go to Hanyue Island in a few days to find the commander, no, the King of Faox. I should go to find His Majesty."

Since the establishment of the Polo Kingdom, the silver notes were printed by the Polo Kingdom Parliament instead of the Tidor League. This feeling of printing gold is irresistible.

Although people with insight have realized that this is inappropriate, the Baltic Sea is a colony of various countries. They come here to exploit people, so of course they can do whatever they want.

Anyway, the citizens of the Polo Kingdom were either purchased slaves or transported serfs. The essence of exploitation remained unchanged, it was just a more efficient form of exploitation.

However, the lords of each island were dissatisfied. Except for the 19 islands controlled by the Silver Deer Legion, who worked hard, the other nobles were extremely angry.

They came to the Baltic Sea to become superior people, not just wage earners, but their objections were ineffective.

The armies of various countries are stationed at the ports of each island, and the real power on the island is also in their hands.

The so-called enthroned lord is just a decoration and a mascot. If it were not for the traditional requirement of the court that the territory should be matched with a lord, all the countries would want to use the parliament to rule the territory directly.

It is a favor from the master that you can become lords and nobles. Why are you still picky? Just be a puppet mascot. There are plenty of people who will do it if you don't want to.

"Brother Wodek, are you willing?"

In a manor on the Aegean Island, more than twenty lords and nobles of the Polo Kingdom and nobles of the Silver Deer faction such as Wodek, Sufir, and Kolin Tiphon were drinking.

In the Baltic Kingdom today, Wardek became the Count of Aegean Island, Golin Tiphon became the Count of Verlock thanks to the connections of the Tiphon family, Sufir became the Viscount of Snow Moon Island, a large island in the Baltic Sea, and the werewolf Good became Wardek's Chief Knight. Everyone has a bright future...

"Why would we be so content? Now we, a bunch of wandering bastards, have our own territory. We're so happy!"

Wodek raised his glass to the Silver Deer lords, "Cheers to the Polo Kingdom!"

"Cheers to the Polo Kingdom!"

The leading noble was anxious. "Brother Wodek, we are just puppets of other countries, not nobles. You are the Earl of Aegean Island, but you were driven out of Qin City. Are you really willing to accept this?"

"Alas... whatever's wrong with being unwilling? The Thirteen Councils of Zilan Island have been treated like dogs for over a hundred years, let alone us."

Wodek took a sip of wine with a self-pitying air and said self-deprecatingly.

"Although we cannot resist, we can unite. Unity is strength!"

The lords nodded in agreement, and only the Silver Deer nobles drank their wine calmly.

"Oh, how to unite?" Wodek was interested.

"We want to be dogs but we also want to be loyal to the masters who treat us like dogs. This time, welcoming His Majesty, is the time for us to show our loyalty.

I have learned that Gis Zilaner is a restless man, do you understand me?"

The reason so many nobles gathered on the Aegean Island was naturally because the Baltic King Gis Zilaner had arrived. They came from their territory to see the new king.

Wodek nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, so he asked for some more details.

They wanted to unite the huge force of the Silver Deer Clan, so naturally they paid attention to every detail. Intoxicated, these guys told the whole story of their rebellion against the Parliament of the Polo Kingdom, and Wodek listened attentively.

After eating and drinking, the two sides signed an alliance, decided to fight to become an independent lord, and finally left staggeringly.

Wodek winked at Kolin Tifeng, asking him to keep an eye on them, and he went to Lisa Barbaro's office in Qincheng.

"Sir, I want to report it!"

…

Bohrawis, Auroville.

After Zi Xi recovered, Xia Lan and the others returned to Hua Palace. The dock was full of citizens who wanted to see the little prince.

There were banners in the crowd that read "I love you, Prince Leidu", and the scene was quite intense.

Under the protection of the Duolun Legion, Xia Lan took a lot of effort to return home, and lay on the bed feeling exhausted all over.

"Wife, can we have a second child now?"

He grabbed Zi Xi's hand and pulled her onto the bed, then turned over and pressed her down, his deep blue eyes like the starry sky meeting her emerald green eyes.

Now the Polo Kingdom's net has been laid. The fish will pull the net themselves, and then the more they struggle in the net, the tighter it becomes. He just needs to go over and carry it away. This period of time is very boring, so it's a good time to sow seeds.
