Dolai estimated that it would take another month for the people from the Imperial Household Department and the Northwestern Household Department to arrive, so there was no rush now.
In fact, this is also the process. Basically, all the things are provided by myself. I just hope that no one can cause trouble for me, so that it can pass smoothly. Among these people now, Ayton is the one who is most likely to cause trouble.
When Duolai thought of this, his clone sitting in the City Lord's Mansion raised his head and shouted outside, "Someone come."
A middle-aged man walked in from the door, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord City Lord."
Dolai glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Please ask Patriarch Ayton to come over and tell him that I have something to discuss. Also, ask the person from the Alexander family to come over as well."
Although there is harmony within the Glory Empire, there are also many private struggles. Alexander's people are creating trouble for themselves and even want to mobilize the power of the empire to exile Bal. This is simply intolerable.
Even the Xuanshi Worms and the Skyfrost Worms could be handed over, but Baal could not be exiled. If he was exiled to a very dangerous world, that would be harmful to him.
Alexander's men were pushing him into a desperate situation, and that was something Dole could not tolerate.
The man at the door looked at Dolai in confusion, thought for a few seconds, and then replied, "It's the master."
Duolai smiled and glanced at him, saying, "Be nicer and say you have something to discuss."
The man nodded, apologized, and turned away.
Dolai looked at his leaving back and his face suddenly darkened.
This person was naturally one of the spies sent by the local government. He brought this person to his side, and also consciously wanted him to obtain some false information and then pass it on.
For example, now, he openly invites people over with a smile, but in fact he is preparing to suppress these two families. He knows the pieces of land that the other party wants, but he will never give them. This is one of his strategies.
The right to sell the land is entirely in his own hands, and the empire cannot interfere. This is Dolai's current right.
…
In the courtyard of the Edward family, after the news came in, Ayton sat in his seat and thought for a moment.
Naturally, he also received news from his family, and used the wizard's information channels. However, the situation in the imperial capital is rather complicated now. What the emperor decides will naturally have results, but it is not certain how long it will take for the result to come out.
The Edward family has naturally contributed their efforts and will try their best to delay the matter and then find ways to gain more territory.
Once the city of Albis is officially sealed and the roads here are repaired, it will be the most important trade city in the north in the future. Doing business here will be much better than in other places.
So some places must be taken over, especially some towns along the way. They have already taken over one, but the competition in other places is too fierce, so it is difficult for them to take over.
Why did Dolai call him over? Was he going to beg for mercy?
With that little guy's temper, I'm afraid not.
He thought about it, and without giving it much thought, he summoned the guards to escort him to the City Lord's Mansion.
There are a group of wizard towers in the city of Albis, so there should be no problems inside. However, there are outsiders coming here every day, and the population is complicated, so we must be on guard.
He soon arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. It was noon.
When he arrived at the door and got off the carriage, he saw another convoy also arrived at the door, and his eyes suddenly fixed.
Rickdo got off the carriage and saw Eaton at the door. The two of them had very fast channels of information and now they knew what had happened.
The two men felt a sinking feeling in their hearts at the same time. Was Dolai trying to warn them or was he prepared to compromise? Given the opponent's current strength, it should be a warning.
Eaton waved to Rickdo, who hurried over with a sullen face.
There were actually a lot of people at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. When Eaton came over, people around him looked over. After all, he was a person from the imperial capital. Among all the families in Albis City, they had never given face to the Edward family or even the Rhine family.
The other one is also a very powerful family. With the two families combined, no one except Dolai can deal with them, and I'm afraid no one dares to go against the other side.
Some people around wanted to come up and get close to me, while others kept their distance.
The atmosphere at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion was a little quiet for a while.
Rickdo was scared by Dolai last time and had been holding a grudge against him for a long time, so this time he was followed by someone else, a strong man sent by the family, a seventh-level warrior. Although he was not a wizard, his combat power was considerable.
He looked at Ayton and asked carefully, "You also know the news?"
Ayton nodded and said, "News from our Edward family is also very fast. The question now is what Dolai is going to do. His news should not be slow either. After all, the Third Prince is here, and he knows a lot more than you and I do."
Rick thought about it and did not tell Dolai that his family was going to target Dolai through the Honor Wizard Union, so he said, "The general situation is clear. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is coming to survey the terrain, and it is probably just a process. The specific survey data should be obtained directly from Dolai."
Ayton said, "Emperor Yale has spoken. We can only delay now. The matter must have been settled. Forget it. Let's go in and see how Dolai plans to deal with us."
Rickduo had a headache, so he nodded. Now he didn't know how much Dolai knew. If he knew everything, he would probably leave here as soon as possible, otherwise he would die without knowing how he died.
He was in a gloomy mood.
The two exchanged a few words and then walked into the City Lord's Mansion together.
The City Lord's Mansion has not been completed. The outer one is still temporary, and the formal City Lord's Mansion at the back is still under construction.
So the setup inside is very cramped, with many departments being together.
Only Dole occupied the entire top floor, which was his privilege.
The two men brought their people and quickly arrived at the top floor and stood at the door of Dole's office.
The entrance was very, very quiet, completely different from the noisy hall below. The middle-aged man standing at the entrance looked at the two of them, without even looking at how many people they brought, and smiled, "The master invites everyone to come in."
Eaton calmed down, glanced at Rickdo who was pretending to be serious, nodded, and the two of them took the lead and walked inside.
Eaton only brought two guards, who were relatively strong and both at level six, while Rick brought a level seven warrior. In the newly started city of Albis, the combat effectiveness of these three guards could be said to be very high, and they could almost represent a powerful force. This was the Northwest, not the imperial capital.
Dole, who was writing at his desk, raised his head and focused his eyes on the door, and saw Eaton and Rickdo coming in.
It's a miracle that Rickdo hasn't been transferred back even though he was scared by him last time.
He glanced at the two of them, expressionless, and stood up. He waved his hand and said, "Please take a seat, Xiao Liuzi, go prepare some drinks."
The middle-aged man standing at the door twitched his mouth slightly when he heard the name, then he said yes respectfully and left the door.
Duolai glanced at the guards behind the two men, with an almost expressionless face, and even a solemn expression, and slowly said, "You two families are really full of talents, and you can easily bring out sixth- and seventh-level warriors."
