During the short trip to Novigrad, Lu Qi not only found an intelligence director for his power, but also got an interesting piece of news - the existence of the Sorceress Assembly!

According to Di Pang, during the Cintra negotiations to carve up the interests of the continent, the sorceresses’ gathering place was behind the strings and manipulation of transactions, which allowed the northern countries and the southern empire to finally sign a peace treaty.

It is worth mentioning that King Henselt of Kaedwen was unwilling to return the Upper Aedirn region to King Demavi of Aedirn. However, Henselt's palace advisor, Sabina, a member of the Sorceress's Covenant, did not know what she said to Henselt, or made some conditions.

The next day, Henselt, with a dark face, promised to return the Upper Aden region.

This kind of thing happened God knows how many times during the five days of negotiations...

Just from these private transactions of national interests, it was enough for Lu Qi to draw a simple conclusion:

The Sorceress Assembly is trying to hide in the shadows and manipulate the situation of various countries according to their own ideas to achieve their own goals!

As for what the purpose was, Lu Qi could not think of any other answer besides "controlling power".

Ever since the coup on Sunide Island, Lu Qi felt that these sorceresses were a little too enthusiastic about politics. This is especially true for Philippa Earhart, the ambitious sorceress.

First, he helped Queen Redania stabilize the political situation, then helped the North win the war, and then eliminated Dijkstra, her only opponent, and became the de facto ruler of Redania...

This series of operations also showed that she was definitely not willing to be just a little consultant who wiped the king's butt.

And Fringilla Vigo happened to appear in Toussaint and charmed Geralt. This was obviously an arrangement arranged by the sorceress assembly!

I just don’t know what the purpose of this arrangement is.

Perhaps, even Keira suddenly came to Brunner to monitor him, a rising noble in Temeria.

Maybe Keira didn't mean it that way. However, Lu Qi knew that she had always obeyed Philippa Earhart's words.

From all indications, the Sorceresses' Covenant will be a trouble worthy of continued attention...

. . .

It was already mid-April when Di Pang and I returned to Amelia.

The breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger, and the fields on both sides of the road are also filled with green wheat.

After handing over the task of building an intelligence network to Di Pang, Lu Qi devoted himself to the restoration of the territory and the recruitment of soldiers for the Southern Army.

Due to the huge role he played in the war, he and his Black Hawk Knights have become a hot topic among northerners.

The bards also compiled poems about his heroic deeds on the battlefield leading the Black Hawk Knights and the Redanian heavy cavalry, and sung them everywhere.

Many mercenaries who wanted to make great achievements came to Amelia to participate in the recruitment of the Southern Legion.

Soon, the entire southern army had recruited 20,000 troops.

As for Lu Qi's private army, the "Black Hawk Knights", it has also expanded to 3,000 people.

With 23,000 troops in hand, Lu Qi suddenly became one of the few powerful vassals in the entire Kingdom of Temeria.

Such a rapid rise, coupled with a strong military force, naturally made the little people jealous.

The courtiers spoke ill of King Foltest one after another.

Listening to the advice in his ears, Foltest was a little disapproving. However, after consideration, some pertinent suggestions were accepted, such as placing some middle-level generals in the Southern Army to prevent Lu Qi from completely controlling the entire Southern Army and developing any disobedience.

Lu Qi had no objection to the king's airborne troops, but readily accepted them.

This move actually made the monarchs and ministers of Temeria breathe a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.

In their view,

If Lu Qi really has any disobedience, even if they unite, they may not be Lu Qi's opponent.

You know, this young man in a high position is the Northern God of War who single-handedly ended the war...

However, what they didn't know was that Lu Qi had no intention of usurping the throne.

On the one hand, Foltest was very interested in him. In the Middle Ages, when family lineage was valued, it was not something that ordinary kings could do to promote themselves so vigorously. On the other hand, he didn't have much regard for governing a country. great interest.

His [World Mission] is to prevent the coming of hoar frost, not to unify the continent.

What's more, with his current reputation and status in the Kingdom of Temeria, he is like a local emperor. Who dares to babble in front of him except Foltest? !

Rather than being a notorious usurper, it would be more comfortable to be a powerful minister deeply trusted by the king.

Wouldn't it be more relaxed if the king was responsible for running the country? He was only responsible for defeating all enemies.

Therefore, even if he knew that other Temeria vassals were afraid of him, Lu Qi did not pay too much attention to it, but focused on his own three-acre land.

Because, a very serious problem is imminent...

. . .

Amelia Castle, Hall of the Lords.

Sitting on a seat engraved with a black eagle relief, Lu Qi, wearing a black aristocratic jacket, frowned and stared quietly at the thin middle-aged man in front of him.

That was his treasurer and a distinguished graduate of Fort Cow College.

"You mean, our coffers are almost empty?!"

"Yes."

"How long can I hold on?"

"If we maintain the current construction intensity and military pay, it will not be until the middle of next month at most."

If the financial controller hadn't come to report, Lu Qi wouldn't have known that after a wave of territory construction and recruiting troops, he seemed to be running out of money!

Although his territory covers three new provinces: Soden, Anglin, and Rivendell Valley. However, most of these areas have been baptized by the flames of war and have not yet recovered their vitality. They cannot collect any taxes at all.

During this period of time, he had been unable to make ends meet and spent all the wealth he had accumulated.

Touching his chin, Lu Qi raised his head slightly and then asked:

"Then what's the solution?"

"We can borrow a sum of money from the dwarf bank to get through the spring and summer temporarily, and then return the money to the bank after we receive the taxes in the fall."

Borrowing money from dwarf banks to survive is a daily operation for the lords of the northern countries. The dwarves are also very willing to integrate into human society in this way, expand their influence, and ensure that they will not be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of humans like the elves.

"If that's the case, let's do it."

Although I accepted the advice of the Financial Controller. However, this method of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause is not what Lu Qi wants.

After watching the financial controller leave, Lu Qi, who was left alone in the hall, looked at the huge lord hall and couldn't help but murmur to himself:

"It seems that we still have to find a way to make money..."
