"What opportunity?" said the blue-haired girl sitting opposite.
"I think I know some news about the revolutionary army. Hurry up and call Latina over. Let's go to the garrison headquarters now." Vanir said cautiously.
The next day in the Earl's Mansion, Sean sat at the dining table for his meal as usual.
Since he became an earl, many etiquettes have become stricter. Although he is in his own home, the servants still dare not overstep their authority. No one dares to sit and dine with him in this house, so he almost always eats alone.
Originally, Sean told old retainers like Luke and Kalibo not to be too restrained, but the other servants in the house seemed to be very strict, making them embarrassed to have dinner with him.
I gave all the instructions yesterday, and now I am just waiting for the response from Wings of the Sky and Alphonse.
Sean believed that the Wings of the Covering Heaven would definitely send someone over, but he was not sure about Alphonse. He had already written in detail about the appearance of the Book of the Dead in the letter. If the other party was really interested in this, they should come.
But if the other party doesn't come, Sean can only pray that the person Frelia sends will have more knowledge of magic, and of course it would be best if he is not the Grand Duke's spy.
After the last incident, Sean discovered that some people in the Wings of Heaven headquarters had also defected to the Grand Duke. The girl who often sent him breakfast and acted very intimately but had a very average impression of him was the Grand Duke's person.
Because the Grand Duke also knew what he had only told her. As for this person, Sean had also mentioned him to Frelia before, but the other party could do nothing about it.
Even if they eliminated that girl, others would inevitably come. There was no way to avoid this. Almost every faction had its own intelligence department, already embedded within their various rivals. Sean had originally wanted to find one, but it was difficult given the current situation in Oro City, mainly because they had lost many high-ranking Order members in the Tacoma incident, and many more had fled since then.
As a result, the city of Oro was newly built but it did not have its own wizard group, nor did any other special forces. In fact, he asked the headquarters of the Wings of the Sky to send people over in order to use the power of the witch group to enhance his own capabilities.
So Sean specifically asked the Morgan family to lower the house prices in order to attract more capable outsiders. In addition, based on Harry's advice, he would continue to introduce different policies to attract people to live there.
But the effect is not very obvious now.
According to historian Ross, a city needs to go through one or two years of stability before it can develop. Reforms of just a few months will not produce much results.
As Sean was eating and thinking about the future city planning, Aslant came over.
"My lord, Miss Philo is here again."
"Oh, okay. Let her come over," Sean said helplessly.
Filodiwala.
Ever since he heard the news that he had been attacked, he rushed over to see if anyone was injured. He also emphasized that the Diawara family also had a group of very powerful elite troops who could help capture the rebels at any time.
The Diawara family is an old resident of Oro City and must have some capital. In order to balance the two major business families of Diawara and Morgan, I have arranged certain positions for them. Although not many, they are definitely important positions.
In this way, the two families will keep an eye on each other and won't cause trouble. What's more, he also wants to support Claude Liang and his sister to become the heads of his business.
However, this arrangement does not seem to satisfy the Dilwara family, who is closest to him. Filo still often comes to his mansion.
Sometimes we don’t talk about anything, he just accompanies me shopping, or he buys something for me as a gift, etc.
"My Lord Earl"
The sound of Philo putting down the cutlery in his hand was approaching.
"The Earl is still having breakfast."
Philo walked in holding up her big skirt and saw Sean sitting in front of the dining table.
"Why did Miss Diawara come here today?"
"I just passed by and came to see you." When she said this, a shy expression appeared on her face.
In fact, Sean could see the purpose of these wealthy ladies who kept approaching him. Whether it was for their family or for themselves, they were willing to have more contact with him.
And you can't comment on this behavior. There is nothing wrong with people wanting a good life.
After all, he currently has a high status and is still an unmarried earl, so there must be local families who want to marry him.
Now Sean seemed to understand why many nobles got married so early. If they lived in such an environment frequently, there was no telling when a conflict would break out. Moreover, these people were all important families in his territory.
"Is there any news about the rebels?" Perhaps seeing that Sean had nothing to talk about, Philo found a topic on his own.
"Not yet. They are smart and did not impulsively come to rescue their companions, but hid themselves on purpose." Sean said.
The other party really hid themselves. Since yesterday morning when Joseph publicly displayed the bodies of the rebels in the central square, Sean had seen two red dots on the sand table once, and he had never seen them again since then, as if they were hiding on purpose.
"What should we do? Should we send someone to look for it?"
"Joseph has dispatched a large number of garrison troops, and these people are enough," Sean said.
Of course, I have thought of some tricks, such as publicly executing a few people to force them out, etc., but I don't know the true strength of the enemy at present. If the other side has several people of level 7 or 8, I am afraid that I have no way to fight back except to summon the Eye of Ghroth.
So most of the time Sean wanted to find out the opponent's strength first and then focus on attacking. What's more, the opponent was called the Revolutionary Army. It was not just these few people, it was an army. It would be difficult for him to accomplish this in a short period of time alone if he was the only one who could not eliminate the force that the empire had tried so hard to eliminate.
Moreover, simply killing these people might attract more and stronger people, but right now there are not enough capable people around, so there is no other way except to ask for help.
Although I don't want to admit it, the nearest big city to me is Koga City, and it is probably impossible for me to ask for help from there.
Therefore, you need to have your own strength.
"Or we can ask the mercenaries for help."
"Harry and Luke have issued a mission to the Mercenary Guild."
While the two were chatting, a member of the Royal Guard came in and whispered a few words to Ascalante.
Aslant hurried to Sean
"Sir, a mercenary team claims to know the whereabouts of the imperial rebels, but they want to see you."
I want to chat with more like-minded people about my ability to see the world's attributes, WeChat, life, and finding confidants.
