Day 153, Aymira found you, 'The Carter Kingdom has sent people to urge the payment of tribute tax.'

After speaking, you and Aymira were silent.

In the past six months, the Duchy's development momentum has been very strong, and the internal affairs have been completely stabilized.

The neighboring Duchy of Rhonus and the Duchy of Grokaster both implicitly respect the Duchy of Kern.

It's just that they can't express it too obviously.

You have also begun to try to unite the power of the three countries to develop together.

The situation proves it is feasible.

With the joint efforts of the three countries, the development speed of the Duchy of Kern is extremely rapid.

The development speed of the other two countries is not slow either.

It is a win-win situation for all three parties.

However, this situation is not what the Carter Kingdom, as the suzerain state, wants to see.

As the suzerain state, the Carter Kingdom only hopes that the three duchies, including the Duchy of Kern, will develop in a 'lying-flat' style, like the other affiliated duchies of the kingdom, and not think about making progress.

But now, because of the existence of the Duchy of Kern, all three duchies have begun to rise.

Therefore, more than ten days before the payment of this year's tribute tax, the Carter Kingdom has already sent people to urge it.

If it cannot be paid, the consequences may be very uncomfortable.

You looked at Aymira, 'How much can we take out now?'

Aymira shook her head, 'At most 20%, that's the limit.'

'If it exceeds 20%, many duchy project plans will have to be suspended, which will seriously slow down the duchy's development.'

'If this continues, we still won't be able to match the tribute tax by next year, and it will only get worse.'

'In five years, the duchy may be destroyed...'

Aymira sighed. She originally thought that with the blessing of the gods, the duchy would develop rapidly and be able to collect the tribute tax.

Now it seems...

It was just wishful thinking...

You looked at Aymira, 'I'll think of a way for the rest.'

Aymira nodded.

You fell into thought.

You didn't have any good ideas either.

The Carter Kingdom is sure that you won't dare to launch an attack at this time.

In fact, you don't dare to launch an attack on the kingdom at this time either.

With the current development of the Duchy of Kern, it is still far from the level of a kingdom.

...

You couldn't think of a solution no matter how hard you thought.

After a long while, you were stunned to find that Aymira hadn't left yet.

You looked at her in confusion.

Aymira looked at you as if she had made up her mind, and said, 'In the old capital, there are the past savings of the former Fells Duchy royal family...'

You were stunned for a moment.

The Fells Duchy actually had savings?

At the same time, you were shocked that Aymira would tell you such a secret.

If she didn't say it, even if the duchy abandoned her one day, she could still rely on these things to make a comeback.

Even if she didn't think about how to do it, she could still live a good life.

But now, she said it.

You know.

The purpose of the Fells Duchy leaving these things behind was to allow future generations to use them in times of crisis.

...

You followed Aymira to the old capital.

In a private house, after dozens of blockades, you and Aymira arrived at your destination.

Before your eyes, there were densely packed interspatial rings.

Roughly counting, there were hundreds of them.

You randomly took out an interspatial ring and found that it was filled with universal currency.

This interspatial ring alone contained billions of universal currency.

You opened other interspatial rings one after another, and a large number of interspatial rings contained countless wealth and treasures.

If all these treasures were converted into wealth, they could already offset 30% of the current duchy's tribute tax...

You looked at Aymira.

Aymira also looked at you.

From her eyes, you saw her determination to bet everything and entrust all her hopes to you.

You know that this woman has bet everything.

You nodded heavily, 'I'll take these things as a loan!'

"..."

"Day 159, Luo Ongluo, who is developing forces in the Carter Kingdom, sent a message."

"The whereabouts of the treasure have been found and will mature soon."

"You know that the Polix Flower is about to bloom."

"Day 161, you took Aymira, Les, Kara and others, carrying 30% of the tribute tax, and embarked on a trip to the Carter Kingdom."

"First, to seize the Polix Flower."

"Even though you have already completed the improvement of your aptitude through it, the Polix Flower is still effective for your improvement."

"Second, whether you succeed in seizing the flower or not, you must hand over the tribute tax to the kingdom."

"..."

"Day 163, your journey has attracted the attention of many countries along the way."

"Because they all know that you are going to the kingdom to pay tribute tax."

"30% of the tribute tax is enough to bring down an old duchy."

"Not to mention that the Duchy of Kern is just a newly established duchy."

"No country believes that you can take out 30% of the tribute tax."

"In their opinion, this trip of yours is no different from going to accept judgment."

"Everyone said that the Duchy of Kern is about to change."

"Day 164, with full speed ahead."

"Arrived at the border city of the Carter Kingdom in the evening."

"This city is only one city away from the city where Luo Ongluo developed his power."

"You also deliberately chose this city as a resting place."

"The local city lord personally received you."

"But you can see that his attitude is very bad, and all he does is just superficial courtesy."

"He didn't even arrange the highest standard of housing for you."

"Moreover, because Luther is in your team, the city lord specially prepared a superior room for Luther."

"You didn't care about this."

"Aymira clenched her fists, her eyes full of anger."

"Les patted Aymira on the shoulder and sat in the corner without saying a word."

"Kara found a recliner and lay down on it, glanced at the angry Aymira, and retracted her gaze."

"Luther didn't go to the superior room, but squeezed into the small room with you, yawning, and looking out the window, 'Kern, do you think we can sleep tonight with so many eyes outside?'"

"You glanced out the window and didn't answer."

"..."

"Late at night, with Kara's help, you left your residence without alarming the Carter Kingdom people who were secretly watching."

"You went to the next city and met with Luo Ongluo."

"Under Luo Ongluo's guidance, you found the mountain range where the Polix Flower was hidden."

"Luo Ongluo also told you what he knew."

"It's about the same as what you know."

"An eighth-order powerhouse, and a group of seventh-order and sixth-order lackeys."

"Day 165, you arrived in the Monster Beast Mountain Range."

"With the blessing of divine power, you found the Polix Flower."

"You saw the cloaked man."

"It was indeed the one who went to the Duchy of Kern with Dalton."

"You looked at the Polix Flower, which was already in a state of readiness to bloom."

"If nothing else, the flower will bloom tomorrow."

"You didn't dare to get close. From a distance, you hid and squatted down, waiting."
