After a while, Richard said to the old housekeeper: "Tell me, why do you think these three places are the key points."

"Deep Blue is the largest new expenditure in recent years, and it is increasing rapidly. The two places in Panshi Heights and Liujin Valley have been said to have opened up shortly before the accident. The master said at that time that the income of these two planes will reach more than one million. Oh, I need to add it here. The one who said that the millions mentioned at that time should be deducted from your tuition, that is, the income of one of the planes should be about two million. However, now, there is no income in Panshi Heights, and Liujin Valley needs to invest more than one million. As soon as you enter and exit, the gap is also four million. So I think these two places are key points. I don't understand other aspects and dare not say anything about military expenditure."

Richard nodded and said slowly: "Deep Blue must be invested. As for the Rock Highlands and the Liujin Valley, I will think about it carefully."

After the old housekeeper retreated, Richard stared at the magic map and began to ponder. After a moment, he summoned a follower and asked him to go to Liujin Valley to summon Asiris back.

Asiris always responded very quickly to Richard's call. The next afternoon, he appeared in Richard's study.

"Mr. Richard, I don't know what arrangements are there for you to summon me this time." Asiris asked politely. In terms of etiquette, the Dark Magician would never find any fault.

Richard pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit."

When Asirius sat down, the maid served black tea. Then Richard closed the door of the study and sat safely opposite Asirius, and gently tapped a thick book on the coffee table next to him, just looking at the dark magician.

Asiris's smile remains unchanged. It seems that just like this, he looks at Richard for a day and there will be no change. In terms of will, the priests naturally have an advantage over the magician. Although Richard is an alien among the mages, their level of will competition will definitely not be able to determine the outcome without going through ten or eight days.

Richard didn't have so much time to consume Asirius. He gently tapped his subordinates' thick book and said, "Airius, how do you think my current military strength is compared to my father's time."

The dark magician looked at Richard's finger inadvertently. The finger hit the thick book, which actually sparked sparks on the cover.

Asiris said seriously: "In terms of followers, you are only slightly worse than Lord Gundon now. The knights in the building are far superior to Lord Gundon. The ordinary army is roughly equivalent to Lord Gundon. In addition, you seem to have special war resources, Lord Gundon is not as good as you."

"In other words, my military strength is no worse than my father's."

"yes."

Richard nodded and began to ponder. Asiris remained silent and did not disturb Richard.

After a long time, Richard raised his head and said to Asiris: "Search for a time, I'm going to go to Liujin Valley to see what do you think."

Asiris's eyes flashed with a sword-like light. He bowed slightly and said, "There is honor, the Valley of Liujin was originally your territory."

Richard nodded, stopped and tapped the finger of the Book of Creation and Carrying, and said, "There are only five of the Thirteen Knights left in my father back then. I hope you can help me like I help my father, and I will give you more rewards."

Asiris still bowed slightly and said with a constant smile: "Honor is over."

Looking at Asiris's attitude, Richard frowned, then relaxed and asked, "As soon as the troubles in the House of Lords are over here, I'm going to go to Rock Heights to see what do you think."

Asiris's face finally changed. He was silent for a moment before saying, "That's what it should be."

Richard sighed and said, "The Rock Heights are the private plane left by his father, a wealth and a commemoration. I will definitely take it back. I have given Wald a long enough time. Until now, everything he should consider should be considered. You tell him that if he is unwilling to stay in Archmond, he can leave freely, but he must leave everything in the Rock Heights. If he is still willing to stay in the family, of course it is best, but he needs to be with me for a while first. If he does not intend to accept these two suggestions, then when he goes to the Rock Heights, I will lead the army."

Asiris sighed and said, "I try my best to persuade him."

Richard nodded and said, "I want to resolve the conflicts within the family as soon as possible. Next, it should be time to carry out all-out foreign wars. At this time, I don't want to have a private plane behind me who refuses to obey orders."

After seeing Asiris away, Richard called the old housekeeper in again and said, "Do you still remember the branches and families who refused to obey the orders after the last Fudao Rebellion."

"Remember."

Richard walked around the house for a few times, suddenly stopped, and said lightly: "You should be more familiar with them than me. Scan the branches and families again, pick out the ones that may be betrayed again and should not be forgiven, and draw a list for me. I will see this list tomorrow."

The old butler's eyelids twitched a few times, lowered his head and responded, "Yes." Richard waved his hand, and the old butler retreated. After carefully closing the door of the study, the old butler suddenly burst into cold sweat. He felt that Richard's murderous aura suddenly became much heavier when he came back this time.

Richard was sleepless and took out a volume of Norland's history and kept looking through it. The lights in the study were not turned off all night until dawn.

At dawn, a slim figure walked into the study with breakfast and quietly placed the plate on the coffee table next to it. Richard looked up from the history books, looked at the girl who was delivering the food, was slightly stunned, and said, "Coco."

Coco gave a bow and whispered, "It's me, master." Somehow, when facing Richard, she didn't dare to look up at all, and cold sweat kept pouring out of her body, just like facing an eternal beast.

Richard noticed something and slowly restrained his murderous aura. Keke felt better. Richard glanced casually and saw that Keke's strength was still only a level 4 illusionist. It seemed that her talent in magic was indeed not very good. Richard pondered and asked, "Why are you still here? Your father is okay."

"My father is very good. He has stopped gambling recently." Coco replied softly, then hesitated for a moment before answering Richard's first question: "I am here... because I am your... that...companion."

Richard knocked his head and said with some self-deprecating self-deprecating: "It seems that I have read too many books today, and I am confused. Let's do this. If I can arrange time next time, you can come to my room."

Coco's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

Seeing Coco leave the study, Richard couldn't help but shake his head. This girl was the result of his fighting spirit with Goton. The facts have proved that she had neither much blood power nor magical talent. She had made a decision that was angry at the beginning, but for her and the family behind her, it was an opportunity to change her destiny. Richard now feels that since she made the decision, she should fulfill her ancient obligations. Only after fulfilling her ancient obligations can Coco have a second chance to make a choice.

That night, Richard left Ukiyo-se and went to Faro. More than ten days later, the day before the regular monthly meeting of the House of Lords, Richard returned to Ukiyo-se. This time he brought back a total of five magic weapons and paid off all the debts in one fell swoop. It was a good thing to pay off the debt, but there was also a negative price, that is, the legendary mages of the Holy Alliance almost wanted to get one magic weapon. If you want to sell it next time, you have to sell it to the other two human empires.

The next morning, the melodious bell rang through the Uki World, proclaiming that this was the sacred moment of the House of Lords. As a wealthy family in the floating island, Richard could bring two entourages into the parliament hall. This time Richard brought Raya and Shuihua. Although Raya was young, she was calm and down-to-earth, and had a wild barrier suit. She was an excellent guard when necessary, and the girl's murderous intent was hidden and not revealed. However, when a real strong man saw Shuihua, he would see her horror. Richard attended the House of Lords this time, and another idea was to establish his authority, so he brought a sanctuary level knight and a killer of the Heavenly Holy Land. As for Richard himself, he did not need to declare anything specifically. He had already had too many brilliant achievements on the battlefield of the Territory.

The parliament hall was routinely noisy for a while, and it was not until half an hour after the formal meeting time gradually became quiet. After a few irrelevant issues, when Baron Canan walked onto the podium, the noble members of the MP were shocked and knew that the core content of today was on the stage.

As a wealthy family on the sixth floor of the floating island, Richard sat at the ring-shaped table in the center of the hall, and could see Canan on the podium from the nearest distance. However, Richard closed his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a nap and didn't look at Canan at all.

On the podium, Cannan had already begun an intense speech.

"The Floating Island is a symbol of the virtue of the Ukiyo-Eternity, the divine favor of the dragon of time, and the supreme glory... In the long history, we have seen that only the real nobles have the qualifications to establish families on the Ukiyo-Island... Let's see how many great names have been associated with the Ukiyo-Island... Between the long history and glorious names, it is not difficult for us to find some rules. Are they coincidentals? I don't think it is,..."

In an inspiring and exciting speech, Baron Cannan fully demonstrated his profound knowledge. His history over the past thousand years and the complex history among countless wealthy nobles have become the materials he has learned, and he strongly demonstrated his core point: Only the duke can deserve the glory of the sixth floor floating island. Moreover, in history, there is no precedent for families below the duke to occupy the sixth floor floating island. It can be seen that Cannan has put in great effort.
