Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

Gray quickly arrived at the cliff where he saw the elf before.

He pointed to the beach below: "That's it."

Amelia looked around and found nothing.

Gray wasn't in a hurry either.

It is noon now, there is still some time before evening.

Gray wasn't sure whether the elf girl would come again, but he didn't expect the elf to come again.

This time he brought Amelia, who can sense whether there is a tree of life around her.

Amelia sensed it carefully, and then opened her eyes with some surprise: "There is no breath of the Tree of Life here."

Gray frowned: "I only saw one elf last time. Did she come out to play alone?"

Gray recalled the scene where the elf girl appeared -.

It seemed that she was very happy and enjoying it very much.

But judging from how she disappeared in an instant after seeing Gray, she was very wary of outsiders.

It's a bit like a child sneaking out to play when the adults are not at home.

"It's possible. The direction I sensed when passing by should be correct. In other words, they are nearby."

Amelia looked around, she first looked in the direction of the sea, and then shook her head: "Not overseas, the distance I sense is not that far.

Gray nodded: "Is that what we saw along the way when we came here?"

He looked at Amelia: "We passed by the elves, and you didn't even feel it?"

Amelia was a little embarrassed, but she nodded helplessly: "They used magic to block the breath of the Tree of Life. I need to be very close to feel anything strange."

Gray was speechless: "Okay, don't explain, I don't want to hear it, let's go and watch over there."

Gray pointed in the direction he came from.

It just so happens that Gray can still take a look at the situation around here.

Due to the previous transaction with the Tours family, this place was originally controlled by the Tours family. Later, Lawrence gave this place to Gray.

In addition to wanting to apologize, there was also the appearance of General Mira in the Tours family who was full of a sense of justice and wanted to form an army to crusade against pirates.

As the kingdom's sea-controlling general, Mira hates pirates deeply.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Lawrence found another good place for the pirates he raised.

Naturally there is no use here anymore and you can give up.

The reason why Turs is not interested in this land is because there is little cultivated land and it is a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

More importantly, there is a city-state not far from here to the north.

The so-called city state is a city that stands on its own as a country.

The land area is only the size of a city.

There are many such countries on the mainland.

Because this territory is very close to that city-state, it is difficult for Tours, as a noble of the kingdom, to take action.

It's not that he can't fight, but because of his identity, he can't fight. Once the Tours family's army appears around the city-state, it will misunderstand the other party.

Although the city-state in the north is small, it is not weak in strength. I heard that there are many magicians and knights active, and they are also members of the Northern Knights Alliance.

In the Knights Alliance, there are three principalities, more than a dozen small countries, and many city-states.

The biggest feature of this knight alliance is unity.

When one party is in trouble, there is support from all sides.

Therefore, even the Kingdom of Beirut will not attack members of the Knights Alliance casually.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Gray can't take over this territory.

Gray only needs to negotiate in advance and show his development order.

All countries on the mainland have acquiesced that as long as there is no owner's land, it can be developed and used by people.

The Tours family is afraid of trouble, and they originally wanted to raise pirates. This place was originally the habitat of pirates. Why did the Tours family want to conquer it?

Does beating them down mean that the pirates all belong to their own family?

You would do this if you have a brain in your head.

But Gray is completely different. This area with dense rivers can be opened up into an inland port. As long as a grand canal is built directly to the sea, then this area will be Gray's gold bag.

Of course Gray won't let this go.

It just so happened that he could come over this time to see how rampant the pirates and bandits were here.

The two of them were in the air overlooking the ground below.

Standing high and looking far away, Gray looked at the area covered with rivers below and fell into the planning of opening a port.

.....................

Amelia: "Did you find anything?"

Gray: "No, I'm just looking at my future port. Besides, shouldn't you work harder on your own? As a human, what can I discover?"

Gray shrugged. He was not an elf and did not have the ability to sense the tree of life from a distance.

He came here mainly because he wanted to contact the elves immediately.

Amelia was speechless when she heard this. She just saw Gray's serious face, as if he had discovered something.

She thought Gray saw the elf girl he had seen.

Amelia stopped paying attention to Gray and began to carefully perceive everything around her.

Soon a familiar wave of power came from the north.

...0

Amelia smiled: "Found it."

Gray perked up after hearing this: "Where?"

Amelia pointed to the north: "It's over there, not far away."

Gray suddenly looked weird when he looked in that direction: "This direction..."

Amelia looked at Gray: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Gray nodded: "There's something wrong. It's a human city-state."

"Elves have already lived with humans now?"

Gray was a little surprised.

But then I thought about it, it was really possible.

After all, Da Yin is hidden in the city.

Amelia didn't speak, and she didn't know the specific situation.

But if Gray is right, then the elves here seem to really live together with humans.

The two quickly crossed mountains and rivers, and soon arrived at a city-state not far away.

Gray remembered that Lawrence had said that this country was called Domon Country, or it could also be called Domon City.

The population is approximately one hundred thousand.

It has an army of about 5,000 people, 3,000 of whom are compulsory soldiers, that is, young people in the city must serve in the military when they reach a certain age.

And only 2,000 were professional soldiers.

There is no way, this kind of city-state has limited war potential, and has to withdraw from compulsory military service uniforms to ensure the country's territorial security.

This small amount of troops is nothing to Gray.

Compared to the exchange between him and King Domon, it should be smoother. .
