Negotiations on the border dividing line of the Life Forest were already a "historical problem" for Yiming and Meyali. After the failure of the federal army invasion, the coalition forces of the two countries, whether they were afraid of being beaten by Yiming or the orders from the above, actually slipped back to the capital. This directly led to the upper-level commander of the Federation cursing the group of waste with a pale face. Even if they just withdrew from the Undead Forest, they could stay in the plain outside the forest! Although the Undead Forest is good, the plain bordering it has always been a place where the Federation is quite jealous. If it weren't for the Undead Forest being too weird, I'm afraid the Federation would have occupied it as already. Therefore, in the era of the Undead Forest, the fertile plain has always been a vacuum zone, but now the Undead Forest has turned back into the Life Forest, the Federation will naturally refuse to let go of this place that they have long been thinking about.

But the Federation did not expect that their army would be so stupid that they would retreat directly to the country. Even if they could not invade Yuliya, at least the plan to occupy the plains would be completely over. So during this talk, the representatives of the Federation had already made harsh words.

The invasion of Leah is given compensation for the defeat after the war, but the plains will never allow it!

Since this war was just a private agreement between the two countries in the Federation, Leah naturally could not regard the entire Federation as an enemy, so the issue of the plains was dragged down.

Regarding border negotiations, Yi Ming only got so much information from the Lord of Heaven, and the Lord of Heaven also issued a death order to Yi Ming: "No matter what, the plains must be ours."

The Lord of Heaven did not say the reason, and after Yiming looked at the map, she didn't need to explain it. The plain area not only has good conditions, but also has convenient transportation. What's more important is that in the undead forest surrounded by mountains on both sides, only that area is a gap. That is to say, if the Federation occupied that area, then it would be the most suitable base for attacking Yuria's front line and a strong barrier to prevent Yuria from attacking the Federation. This is the same for Yuria. If the plain area is occupied, the Magic Knights can almost enter the central city of the Federation within one day, and it would be difficult for the Federation to invade Yuria again.

It is obvious that no one will let go of that plain.

The reason why the previous talks have been stalemate is because the most important Imin and Meallie are not here. After all, they are the current lords of the Forest of Life and are also the main members of the expelling of the federal army. It can be said that if Imin said that the plain belongs to Yuliya, then the Federation will have no way to refute it. So they have always hoped to delay the meeting date as much as possible. However, because Imin is not here, Marien and Elinoa are sensitive but cannot represent negotiations. After all, Marien

The family has been completely investigated, and Elinoa represents the royal family. If any of them starts negotiations, it is equivalent to robbing the authority of the Academy's Council. So since the Federation clearly wants to drag it down, the two of them are happy to drag it down. Of course, Elinoa and Marian also understand that the Federation is planning to drag it down all the time. And not afraid of Yiming who comes back at any time, it means that the Federation must be waiting for something. But they have no other way now, they can only drag it down for a day.

In order to prevent any other troubles, Yi Ming and others set off for Azus early the next morning. Fortunately, today was obviously much smoother than yesterday. Not only did there not only the soldiers lying ambushed, but even the bandits could not see half of them. The only thing that worried Yi Ming was that after that, many merchants saw the burned remains and dead bodies. So all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky. After all, in any case, it was indeed a very worrying thing in this place. Some people even thought it was a sign of the reappearance of the hell demon...but these had nothing to do with Yi Ming.

The carriage was speeding up to the flat road, and Yi Ming was still thinking about what happened yesterday, from being ambushed for no reason, to someone trying to frame him, and then... it was obvious that those guys should be living in the same hotel as him. So, is that a coincidence? What if they were sent to monitor him?

(Yiming?)

"Um…………"

(Yiming?)

"Uh-huh…………"

(Look outside!)

"Outside?"

Yi Ming raised his head curiously and put the untreated problems behind his head for the time being. When he saw the view outside the car window, Yi Ming couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise.

In Yiming's original impression, Azus was still a small village like the one they had before they left, a messy and orderly place. But now there is obviously a clear difference. The wooden houses in the past were replaced by neat stone buildings. The entire street was orderly, and even seemed to imitate the Lily Flower City. There were many channels of clear spring water flowing next to the street. There was even an exquisite and elegant circular fountain on the square full of natural atmosphere. The cool sound of water interacted with the transparent spring water. It was like a beautiful work of art. The whole Azus looked like the Lily Flower City, which was smaller in number one. The difference was that compared with the Lily Flower City, Azus had a lot of natural atmosphere and less sacred and solemn.

"Is this what Elinoa and Marian did?"

Yi Ming couldn't help but admire him in surprise. You know, he and Mei Yali have only been out for dozens of days. Even in the original world, it would be very difficult to build such a dilapidated village into such a beautiful city within such a short time. If Yi Ming did it, he would think he would be completely unable to do it.

Of course, if it is destroyed, it is his specialty...

The carriage was skillfully controlled by the coachman and stopped in front of the castle gate, which had been renovated, while Marien had been waiting there for a long time.

"Welcome to everyone... Welcome back, Lord Yiming, Lord Meiali."

"I always think I should call you an adult."

Looking up at the castle that was no longer dilapidated and even somewhat majestic, Yi Ming couldn't help but exclaim. This made Marian's face turn slightly red.

"Don't make fun of me. It's already the limit to be able to do this. Miss Elinoa is handling official business and has no time to clone. Please don't mind... These three are..."

As she said that, Marien's eyes moved to the others, but in the end, she focused specifically on Lucia, Lafar and Yomira whom she had never seen before.

"Luxiya is a very capable clerk. I believe she can help you a lot. This Miss Yomira is Annie's maid and also the representative of the Dark Tower. Lefar... is the guardian of Lita."

"Long time no see, Sister Marian."

With Yi Ming's introduction, Lita also poked her head out at the right time and greeted Marian.

"Lita, long time no see you, you have grown a lot......" When Marian said this, he was suddenly stunned.

"Magic? Is Lita already a magician?"

"Um!!"

Lita nodded very happily. She had always hoped to report her progress to the people she was most concerned about. In addition to Yiming and Mealli, she belonged to Marian.

"I really congratulate you..."

Although Marien smiled very happily, Mealie saw a deep feeling of fatigue from it. Obviously, Marien had not had a good rest these days. When Marien saw Lucia, she just made a gesture and said nothing. As for Jomila's matter, Marien obviously knew it. Only the appearance of Lefar seemed to make Marien a little dissatisfied, but she did not show it specifically.

"Then, I will take you to your room first, especially Lord Yiming and Miss Meyali. I have prepared a room for you that match your identities, and there are two sets. After all, no matter what the relationship between Lord is, they are the same as the lord and the earl. Even if you don't want to use it, it doesn't matter. But we must be prepared. As for the next…"

"Let's leave the next one to do."

Imin interrupted Marien's dialect.

"You explain the matter to Luxiya. Except for the tasks that you cannot complete, you have left her to do the rest. You can accompany us to Azus. It just so happens that this is also a good opportunity for you to see Luxiya's ability clearly, right? I also want to see how this city has changed."

When I heard Yi Ming say this, Mealie standing beside me smiled slightly. It was obvious that Yi Ming also noticed the tiredness on Marien's face. That's why he said this on purpose. It's better to take a walk than to sit in the room to handle government affairs, and Yi Ming has also come back to listen to Marien talk about the recent situation. Of course, it's not in the room with a depressing atmosphere. In contrast, the green grass and blue ponds are good choices. Relaxation is also a kind of rest. Yi Ming originally planned to invite Elinoa, but then he thought, after all, Elinoa is busy now, and if the only two people who can handle the affairs are gone, the new Lucia will definitely not replace Marien now. It's better to wait a few days until all the people who can share the pressure are in place. Let's have a good holiday for them.

"It's good."

Hearing Yiming say this, Marien smiled bitterly.

"I don't need to worry about the matter of being re-established."

Facing Marien's inexplicable sigh, Yiming and Mayali looked at each other inexplicably, not knowing what she was talking about.

Soon Marian arranged everything. She ordered people to take Lita and Lefal to find a guest room in the castle. Then she explained many things to Lucia that need to be handled. Aini, who was still sleeping, was politely carried away by Yomira. According to Yomira, they were going to investigate the construction location of the three towers in the future. After explaining everything, Marian then walked to Yiming and others and bowed to them, "Let you wait for a long time, then we..."

"Let's talk while walking."

Yi Ming said, and casually chose a path to walk in front, while Mealli and Bingyu hurriedly followed closely. Facing Yi Ming's actions, Marien was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed and lowered her voice.

"I already know that several adults were ambushed. Do you have any clues there?"

"No."

Yiming shook his head, and soon told Marien what happened later, including the magic in the hands of the fat merchant and the conversation he eavesdropped in the garden. Although there were only a few words, Yiming was enough to infer their thoughts.

"In fact, I'm also having a headache about this."

Marien sighed inwardly, then she looked at Mealli, who was walking slightly behind Yiming, and then slowly slowed down, trying to keep her distance from Yiming as much as possible.

"In fact, since the two received orders from the Council to leave Azus, negotiators have been sent from the Federation. Since both were not there and Miss Alinoa's identity was sensitive, she kept dragging her down. Until I came back, the group of people had no intention of leaving. And they asked for a lot of money every day. It was a headache for us to rebuild a city, and those envoys could not neglect them..."

Marien's head seemed to start to hurt again. "At first, those people were quite obedient, but later they might have found that Miss Elinoa and I had no say, and their requests became more and more excessive, and even made some very excessive requests..."

“What are the requirements?”

Yi Ming stopped, and his voice dropped to minus octave in an instant.

"This... they didn't succeed in the end."

Marien's face turned slightly red. After all, the person involved was himself, so it was actually a bit embarrassed to tell Yi Ming about this.

"But Miss Alinoa and I both think something is wrong. After all, you have an absolute say in the division of borders. We thought they would try their best to end the negotiations before you come back. So we had prepared a strategy of procrastination, but we didn't expect that they seemed to be in a hurry at all. This was really... quite strange."

"It's strange indeed."

Yi Ming thought for a moment, then nodded.

"But I already have an idea."

"Are you going to negotiate with them? Sir?"

"negotiation?"

Faced with Marien's inquiry, Yiming snorted coldly.
