Southern Wizarding Union East Coast Headquarters. Ministry of Finance, in the meeting room.

"What do you guys think about Baron Marvin's huge loan application in the White River Valley?"

One of the MPs asked in a low voice.

The other four were silent.

After a while, someone sneered and said, "Ten thousand wizard gold coins? Since the establishment of the alliance, such a huge loan has never been issued, right?"

"What is he guaranteeing?"

The member of parliament who spoke first was a woman, she was the Minister of Finance, and her name was O'Connor.

She glanced at the sarcastic person and said, "Mr. Peter, if you haven't read the evaluation report, please stop talking nonsense, okay?"

Peter was speechless for a moment.

On the conference table at this time, everyone has a thin piece of information in front of them.

These are a report on the development potential of Maven himself and the White River Valley.

The Southern Wizarding Union is also very strict when granting loans, which have been reviewed by special people.

"As far as I know, Baron Marvin's territory does not have enough short-term repayment ability, but in this war, Baron Marvin successfully opened up the wilderness."

"He wiped out an entire tribe of ogres, and it is said that there are shadows of legendary ogres among them."

"And on Baron Marvin's side, we found many old acquaintances."

Before O'Connor finished speaking, Peter's exclamation came:

"How can it be!"

Holding the document in his hand, he looked at the familiar names. He couldn't help murmuring: "Demon Hunter Constantine..."

"Elf Martial Saint Ibrahimovic..."

"And that lonely O'Brien?"

Peter swallowed: "Please tell me, this information is forged, right?"

The rest looked at him like idiots.

The reason why they were silent before was because they were shocked by the names of several people in the information. They are thinking. What kind of person is able to gather so many powerful people together.

Not to mention that it was mentioned in the previous pages of the information that Marvin seemed to have united with several other legendary powerhouses to eliminate the scarlet patriarch who even Lord Anthony had no chance to kill.

Undoubtedly, judging from this report alone, Baron Marvin is a person with great potential for development.

Oh no, after this wild pioneering battle. The Alliance has already prepared to award Marvin the title of Viscount, and the corresponding rewards are also being prepared.

Southern Wizarding League. Capable aristocrats have always been encouraged to expand their land outwards—rather than like those northerners who like to fight back and forth on a piece of land, fighting for a little resource, and would rather be enemies with each other for generations. They also refuse to take a step into the unknown wilderness.

It's just that what caught the alliance a little by surprise was that before Marvin's reward was paid out, this guy came to the door for a loan.

The number of loans is still unprecedented!

10,000 wizard gold coins!

This is equivalent to ten million silver coins!

This amount is equivalent to half of the annual loan quota of the Finance Department of the Eastern Headquarters of the Southern Wizarding Union!

If they allocated this money to Marvin, and the rest of the territories borrowed money from them, there would be a tight situation.

From this point of view, Marvin's request is a bit ridiculous.

However, direct rejection does not seem to be a good option.

Because Marvin's loan application was very touching.

10,000 gold coins, returned in half a year. Pawn. Two gold mines.

After the wilderness pioneering campaign ended, Marvin immediately found someone to explore the ore veins in the belly of the Ogre Mountain.

He was overjoyed with the result.

According to my father's notes, there was a gold mine there. However, the survey results were not the case. Not one, but two!

The two veins are parallel to each other and do not interfere with each other, one south and one north. Marvin gave the priority mining rights of one of the gold mines to the Silver Church as part of the deal, but the ownership of the gold mines was still his own.

According to the survey report. If these two gold mines maintain a certain intensity of mining, it will take about twenty years to fully mine them.

The overall value adds up. More than 60,000 wizard gold coins.

It was the appearance of these two gold mines that made the people in the alliance's finance department a little bit in a dilemma.

Minister O'Connor has sent someone to verify that there is nothing wrong with Marvin's survey report. No one thought that there would be such a treasure hidden near a barbaric place like the Screaming Mountains. But there is no other way now, the mountain and the coast over there have become Marvin's private property.

Moreover, his Wilderness Opening Order is still in effect, as long as he continues to open up within half a year, the effect of the Opening Order will continue.

God knows what this ambitious young man will do.

From the perspective of the top management of the alliance, Marvin is a very potential lord who deserves to be supported and cultivated.

In addition, his long-term debt repayment ability is still very strong, and there seems to be no hidden danger in lending this money.

But after all, the number is too large, so the finance department needs to hold this meeting.

...

"Everyone, everyone must already know about the information about the White River Valley." O'Connor looked at the crowd and said seriously, "Come and vote now."

"By the way, if you are worried about the guarantee issue, an hour ago, Lady Hathaway from the Third Ring Tower sent a message that she is willing to personally guarantee the debts for Marvin. It's just that time is short, and she hasn't had time yet. Officially submit a guarantee document, but Lady Hathaway's reputation is still impeccable."

After O'Connor finished speaking, she took the lead in saying, "I agree to the granting of this loan."

"agree."

"agree."

Even Peter, who was ridiculed at first, shrugged: "I agree."

Only the last person, after a moment of silence, sighed and said, "Abstain."

Everyone looked at him sympathetically.

This guy is from the unicorn family. They also heard a little bit about the grievances between the Unicorn family and Marvin.

It is said that the unicorn was just preparing to deal with Marvin, but in the end it ushered in such a catastrophe as the ancient red dragon Earl.

Today's unicorn family has long since fallen apart. As the few remaining members, although this lord holds a high position in the Southern Wizarding Union, he couldn't cause too much trouble for Marvin.

Four to zero, a perfect pass.

Half an hour later, in Perch Harbor, in the lobby of the Eastern Office of the Southern Wizarding Union.

"Congratulations, Miss Anna. Baron Marvin's application has been approved."

O'Connor handed a document to Anna herself, and then looked behind her: "Now Baron Marvin only needs to show his baronial medal. Then sign it."

Anna took out a medal, smiled and said, "He didn't come, but I brought the medal."

"No problem?"

O'Connor froze for a moment, such an important matter. Actually let a housekeeper come over to do it?

She couldn't help asking: "Then where is Baron Marvin now?"

"He..." Anna said helplessly while signing, "I don't know either."

Laura behind her nodded and said:

"Master Marvin is notoriously fond of running around. After assigning us a lot of tasks, he slipped away by himself."

...

That's right, as Laura said, Marvin left the territory again after completing the planning of the territory and assigning long-term and short-term tasks to everyone.

This time, his direction was west. He didn't bring any of them except Isabel.

Being a lord is actually not his strong point, at most he knows a little basic management knowledge. But how to quickly build a powerful territory, he basically only has a general idea.

Just at this time, Daniela showed amazing talent.

Marvin handed over the construction of the territory to her with confidence. Of course, in the absence of Marvin, the ultimate acting lord was Pooh.

Loans in River Beach are very simple and only require a letter. Madeline would obediently send over the things and money.

After all, the sixth page of the Book of Naaru is still in her hands, and she is still in the process of comprehending it.

Before being promoted to legend. Hathaway could take back the Book of Naaru at any time, she dared not do it.

As for the loan from the Southern Wizarding Union, he thought about it again and again, and left it to Anna to do it.

With such a large amount of money, he was worried about the rest. Only the housekeeper who had been silently supporting him behind his back made Marvin feel at ease.

As for Lola, she was sent by him to purchase supplies and slaves.

He has officially appointed Laura as the financial officer of the White River Valley, mainly responsible for procurement and financial budget; the real financial power is still in the hands of Anna.

Daniela is mainly responsible for the construction of the territory, and doesn't care about the rest.

However, her existence can be regarded as an insurance for the White River Valley after Marvin left.

Although there are dark guards guarding the current Baihe Valley all the time, if they encounter a strong one, there is no way to fight against them.

After all, Constantine and O'Brien left the White River Valley successively. The former is because of the corpse of the red dragon—there seems to be no butcher who knows how to dismember the dragon clan in the south. In order to maximize the value, Constantine is going to find an old acquaintance himself. That guy is said to have personally dissected more than three giant dragons, and he has quite a lot of experience.

Fortunately, there would be no problem with the red dragon's corpse in the paper crane. As for the dragon blood bath, Marvin once asked Constantine for advice, and was reprimanded by the latter as a waste of money.

Every portion of dragon's blood can be made into a very good potion for bathing. Although it can improve certain attributes, the cost performance is too low.

After Marvin found out, he also decided to wait for the butcher's arrival, and at the same time asked Constantine to help recruit some master-level potion alchemists.

In addition, Ibrahimovic followed Anna and Lola north to Perch Port, in order to ensure the safety of the funds.

The rest of the territory is proceeding in an orderly manner.

...

Three days later, Marvin took Isabel up to the westernmost mountain of the dead hills in the northwest of River Beach City.

What unfolded in front of them was an endless desert.

Sage Desert.

"Let's go, we still have a long way to go."

Marvin took a deep breath and went down the mountain first.
