“It seems our products are very popular in Horn Bay.”
Paul looked at everyone and said with a smile.
Those present were all the shareholders of Northwest Industries…Duke Ferdinand, Count Parker, Count Heller, and others. Everyone except for Count Malron Ganard, who had stayed in the south and been entrusted with an important position by King Rodney XVIII, was present. They were passing around a letter.
It was a letter from Horn Bay, written by Friedrich Liszt.
Through this letter, it was known that the Horn Bay Alliance urgently needed to purchase military equipment from Northwest Industries again. Of course, it was not just this one country; in fact, many coastal countries in Horn Bay had expressed their needs through Liszt’s letter.
Paul said, “We should do our best to meet the needs of our customers.”
Duke Ferdinand silently finished reading the letter and then handed it back to Paul.
A playful smile appeared on his lips. “And the other side should also be satisfied.”
“Oh, of course, Your Grace. Northwest Industries will meet the needs of all customers.”
Paul handed the letter to Bernard, who was standing by.
“Continue to use your name to contact the other side. It is better to keep the two sides separate, otherwise they will definitely have a problem with us.”
Henry Ferdinand nodded. “No problem.”
Count Parker asked, “According to the letter, the Horn Bay Alliance seems to want to commission that mercenary company of yours in the future.”
“Yes.” Paul furrowed his brow. “I am struggling with whether I should agree if they really make this request.”
With a clatter, Derrick Heller, who was next to Count Heller, stood up.
Everyone looked at this high-spirited young man.
“Lord Grayman!”
Derrick made a request to Paul that surprised everyone present.
“If you decide to send troops to participate in the war in Horn Bay, please allow me to participate as a warrior.”
Before Paul could answer, Count Heller reprimanded him, “Nonsense, get out of here.”
Derrick initially wanted to argue with his father, but the next moment he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to argue with his father on this occasion, so he went out dejectedly.
Count Heller smiled awkwardly at Paul.
Paul was a little strange. If Derrick were the second son of the family, his wish would be quite normal.
Unable to inherit the family’s title, one could only rely on a suit of armor and a sword to go out and earn a living for oneself.
But Derrick was the eldest son of the family, and Count Heller also focused on cultivating him, entrusting many matters to this son to handle.
As long as he stayed honestly in the Northwest Bay, the title and territory would be his sooner or later.
Speaking of which, Derrick Heller was very interested in the army under Paul’s command. As soon as he arrived in Lakeheart Town, he went to the military academy to audit classes. Derrick was clear about many matters in the Alda army, except for those involving confidential parts.
One could only say that this man was born to be interested in fighting.

“This is truly unbelievable!”
When Nathan and Edward stepped onto the docks of Port Fran, they exclaimed in unison with the same amazement.
The current Port Fran was already the picture of a large city.
The rows upon rows of buildings, the wide streets, and the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles all proclaimed its prosperity.
Nathan’s eyes did not even blink. “I never expected that there would be such a port city in the west of Ordo. It is too shocking.”
“Nathan, please believe me, no matter how shocked you are, my level of shock can be multiplied by two.”
If Nathan’s expression was just one of surprise, then Edward’s face could be described as completely stunned, devoid of his former composure.
As for why, it was probably because Edward knew too well what the old Port Fran was like.
He used to be the pirate leader of the Northwest Bay, and Port Fran was like his own backyard to him.
But just now, the moment he had just stepped onto land, oh no, it should be the moment he saw this city from the sea, Edward thought his ship had gone to the wrong place.
After entering the Northwest Bay, the journey had been calm and smooth. Perhaps… the lords of the Northwest Bay had finally united, and those small pirate groups he had abandoned had been wiped out by them.
It must be so, otherwise, how could Port Fran have developed to such a great scale.
“Nathan, do you know? The Port Fran before I left the Northwest Bay was a small fishing port that could not be smaller. The streets were all dirt roads, and the low houses were arranged in a mess. The church here… Heavenly Father, look at the church now, how magnificent, how luxurious and beautiful.”
“Then the lord here must be a very remarkable person.”
Nathan suddenly became a little interested in the person who ruled this place.
The two of them walked along the street towards the city center, chatting all the way, with a dazzling array of sights.
Edward: “Speaking of which, I am a little worried about the Etonians over in Horn Bay.”
Nathan: “What, why have you suddenly become so sentimental?”
Edward: “Alas, after all, it is the first country in this world to recognize the legal rights of spellcasters.”
Nathan: “Everything is a choice, but there will be a corresponding price to pay.”
Edward: “Oh, that is too ruthless. In any case, we were the ones who made it happen.”
Nathan shrugged indifferently. “We only gave them a choice. It was the Etonians themselves who made the decision. Besides, their choice did indeed help them avoid the impending disaster.”
Edward: “Do not forget, we are spellcasters.”
Nathan: “So what? The weak do not deserve to survive. If Eton is just that, then let us accept our fate calmly.”
Edward shook his head and changed the subject. “Nathan, when will that lord arrive?”
“That is not clear. We came by sea, and they have to travel by land, through the Nerodan Corridor, through the northeast of Ordo, and then to the Northwest Bay.”
“It is not just Lady Mariana, is it?”
“The letter said several would come.”
A month ago, the two of them who were still in Horn Bay received a secret letter from Gabella.
It was written to them by Mariana. The letter instructed them to set off for the Northwest Bay immediately to meet her there to complete an important mission.
Although out of habitual caution, the letter did not specify what the important mission was, Nathan could guess a few things.
The Northwest Bay was the last place where Barnett, one of the members of the Council of Ten, had appeared.
It seemed that the Council of Ten had finally lost patience with this eccentric fellow who had long been detached from the organization.
Perhaps many people in the Arcane Society sincerely hoped that something had already happened to this guy, and they were just sending people to confirm it.
