Chapter 125

Victor was surrounded by warm water and almost groaned comfortably. Sixty days after the outbreak of the ant tide, he once again entered the land of civilization.

The return journey was even harder than expected. The Knights of the York family did not ride a horse. In order to avoid the ant colony, they chose some rugged roads. Facts have proved that the knight's physical strength and speed are stronger than ordinary war horses, which hurts victor. His extreme speed is faster than the big Knight of silver class, but his physical strength is only the level of elite soldiers.

Nicole was happy to carry Victor behind her back, but she was firmly rejected. In front of the two ladies, Victor didn't even want Renault to carry him. Because of Victor's burden, the speed of the team inevitably slowed down.

On the way, Victor enjoyed Nicole's tenderness in addition to being lucky and bitter. Nicole served him like a maid. Bruce and Grice, two old acquaintances, turned a blind eye to it. Only the great Knight trisley would glare at the two affectionate people from time to time.

During the communication with the Knights of York family, Victor learned the details of the ant disaster. More than 100000 ant people invaded the man horse hills. At present, only Baron escley castle and Earl tellandon castle are still fighting the ant people. Other castles are either captured or abandoned. More than 100000 people in the man horse hills are concentrated in Heibao town for refuge, The forces of the prince party have completely withdrawn from the Renma hills.

As for the territory outside the man horse hills, only the count of chebman and the Buryat fell into a hard battle with the ant people. Other lords followed the strategy of Heibao town and let them destroy the crops without firing an arrow in the face of a small group of ant people.

Victor wondered why the Kingdom allowed ant people to rage without responding? Bruce told him that the kingdom had responded. Princess Roland led the Knights of glory to the eastern border of the kingdom to deter the Reich of Rand. The main army of the Kingdom, all the way north, entered the border fortress Minsk fortress group to prevent the kingdom of Dodo from taking advantage of the fire. The Marquis of goron arrived in the west of the kingdom with the swift Dragon Knights, but did nothing. The Lords of the neighboring horse hills, while resisting the recruitment of the Marquis of goron, flattered the York family and gave money and goods. The attitude of these Lords is clear at a glance. They are unwilling to introduce the war into their territory and hope that the York family can stick to Heibao town.

Victor knew that the York family had the support of the Western lords and had taken the political initiative. The church also greatly appreciated the York family, because Sylvia accommodated more than 100000 people and saved 1000 paladins. At the same time, Victor was keenly aware that the relationship between the York family and Duke Williams was not as simple as an ally, as evidenced by the refusal of Heibao town to cooperate with the Xunlong knights.

In this way, the knight of the York family took Victor for more than ten days and finally arrived at Heibao town. After arriving at Heibao Town, accompanied by Bruce, Victor showed his face in front of his neighbors and lived in Rose Manor.

Before meeting Lilia, Victor was led by his attendants into the bathroom of the manor to take a bath. For such an arrangement, Victor obeys good advice. Although he has boundless talent and his body has always been clean and clean, it is also a kind of physical and mental relaxation to take a comfortable bath.

The bathroom of Rose Manor was gorgeous and comfortable. Victor didn't want to enjoy the exquisite decoration of the bathroom. He lay in the bath with his eyes closed and thought about how to negotiate with Sylvia.

In fact, Victor's requirements are not high. He hopes to complete his transformation to a commercial aristocrat under the cover of the York family and get a lot of start-up funds. The chip in his hand is the special brick manufacturing technology longed for by the York family.

Victor doesn't think Sylvia will hurt herself. She has always taken care of herself and never showed any malice. Victor admitted that this trust originated from the close relationship between each other, and Sylvia also had a special position in her heart. Moreover, no wise lord will refuse this little request. Sylvia obviously has enough mind and wisdom.

Victor's only worry is that Sylvia's power will be restricted by other members of the York family. He left Nelson just in case. However, the York family did not get the special brick manufacturing technology, and should not be in a hurry to turn against victor. The longer it takes, the stronger victor will be.

In just 40 days, Victor had 80 alchemy militia in his hands. In another six months, the number of alchemical militia will reach its peak, at least more than 800. This force is not enough to challenge the whole kingdom of Gambis, but it is enough to challenge any lord force.

From the heart, Victor doesn't want to be caught dead with the York family. He is not a mindless war madman, nor does he have the foolish ambition to unify the human world. He just wanted to use the legacy of the alchemical Empire to create a career, and the greatest value of tower 7 was creation, not destruction.

A snow-white and exquisite fiber foot dipped into the water, followed by the beautiful leg caused by jade light. In Victor's surprised eyes, Sylvia had sat beside him.

Victor found Sylvia's blonde hair as gorgeous as fire, and a circle of dark red in her blue eyes. There seemed to be magma surging in the dark red, containing surging power. Victor's eyes tingled, and tears couldn't help flowing down, so he couldn't look directly into Sylvia's eyes.

"Dear Victor, you don't seem to like me now?"

Sylvia smiled softly and shook her head gently. All the red hair like flame changed back to the previous gold, and the dark red in her eyes gradually disappeared and became the blue of the sky again.

"Do you feel better now?" Sylvia returned to her original appearance, and the invisible pressure faded with it.

Victor said with a bitter smile, "I guessed that there was at least one golden knight in the York family. Unexpectedly, it was you."

"If I didn't hide it from you, would you be close to me?" Sylvia fell in Victor's ear and whispered. The fragrance intoxicated him, and his nervous and stiff body relaxed.

"Now, why let me know?" Victor asked with lingering fear. He had just felt a suffocating force in Sylvia's eyes, like an abyss like the sea. If he had known that Sylvia was a Golden Knight, Victor would not have dared to get close to her under such great pressure.

"To be honest." Sylvia smiled.

It's really honest. Victor was speechless. He didn't expect Sylvia to choose to negotiate with herself in the bathroom.

"Victor, you gave me a lot of surprises... You cheated 50000 kinsol from me, and I became interested in you. Then, you ran excitedly to open up the territory without knights and castles. At that time, I thought your self-confidence was just an expression of ignorance... What I didn't expect was that you insisted and managed the territory in order, I can't help being surprised by the work point system, purple sugarcane wine, snow sugar and brick kiln village one by one. So I choose you as my partner and hope you can join me. " Sylvia breathed out.

Victor was silent for a long time and said astringently, "so, you never gave up controlling me?"

"Dear Victor, you are confident and smart, but you are so young that anyone can bite you, just like count chebman. As a lord, you can have no knight, no castle, but not no power. There has never been tenderness between Lords. I want to control you. If I don't do this, you will eventually be eaten by others Go on. In that case, why not me? At least I will make you grow, not make you have nothing. " Sylvia said frankly.

"Now? Because of that brick, because of that territory, you're not going to let me go anymore, are you?" Victor asked in a deep voice, looking into Sylvia's bright eyes.

"Victor, I want to remind you that it is the ant man, not me, who destroyed your territory." Sylvia said angrily.

"Do you know what that brick means? It means more castles, more fortresses, means that human territory can expand outward. It means that I can block the ant man out of the man horse hills... But it means disaster to you.

"If you don't take out this kind of brick, I will choose to withdraw from the man horse hills, but I won't take you. Because we will have a war with the Augusts, and such a war will crush you. But how long can you hold on alone without my shelter?"

"Victor, I need these bricks. With these bricks, I can keep the man horse hills and you can keep your territory." Sylvia said softly.

"You, what are you talking about? You don't want my territory? Why?" Asked victor in surprise.

Sylvia smiled, leaned into Victor's arms and said, "because I like you very much. Is this answer satisfactory?"

The delicate skin touch made Victor's heart hot. He had intended to say he didn't believe it, but he changed his mouth and said, "believe half."

"It's boring." Sylvia curled her lips discontentedly, but there was a tantalizing smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"I don't want all your territory, nor do I want you to be my vassal, but you have to give me the territory at the entrance of the Everglades. In addition, the agreement on purple cane wine is still valid. Do you agree?"

"Can you tell me why?" Victor asked cautiously.

"Victor, I not only don't want all your territory, but also don't intend to want the territory of eskri. As for the reason, haven't you made the same choice? The mountain people camp for the chebman family. But I'm targeting the Augusts." Sylvia giggled.

"Buffer?" Asked Victor tentatively.

Sylvia nodded and said, "yes, the man and horse hills are the territory of Gambis. I don't want to tear my face with the Augusts. As a last resort, our Yorks don't want to conflict with the royal family. Although they have tried to suppress us, there is no need to respond with anger."

"Sylvia, thank you." Said Victor sincerely.

Although a territory was ceded to the York family, the York family would take the responsibility of building fortresses and defending ant people, which was the best result for victor. He thought about it and asked, "I have another question, that is, why are there so many restrictions on the caravan between lords?"

Sylvia looked at Victor unexpectedly and asked in surprise, "do you want to be a business aristocrat?"

"Yes." Victor nodded.

"The Lord's caravan... Is it a caravan or an army? In the past, it was not uncommon to disguise the army as a caravan and raid hostile families. If you want to become a commercial aristocrat, you really can't join any forces! Oh, I see!"

"No wonder you didn't want to be my vassal at the beginning. You made those professional villages to become a business aristocrat? Do you want to revenge Sophia's abandonment by defeating her chamber of Commerce? Hehe, it's so interesting. I'm looking forward to that day."

Sylvia's smile was choppy and flowery. Victor was speechless and said, "I need a sum of money as the principal."

"Honey, I will support you. Now, kiss me..."
