Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 506 - 263: The Count’s Doubts (Part 3)

Luo De nodded, then left the council hall with Vivian and returned to the guest room.

"You’ve gotten smarter this time."

In the corridor, Luo De praised Vivian beside him: "Even without any instructions, you managed to cooperate with me in advance."

"Huh?" Vivian was obviously taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Luo De smiled without explanation and asked: "Did that woman really confess?"

"She confessed!"

Vivian said: "She confessed shortly after being taken out!"

"She really confessed?"

Luo De looked at Vivian in surprise.

Vivian looked equally surprised at Luo De, "Didn’t you know?"

"Alright, never mind."

Luo De thought Vivian was helping him trick that male spy.

Unexpectedly, the woman really confessed.

It seems he overestimated these two people.

They couldn’t even withstand the first trick of the prisoner’s dilemma.

...

...

For Frost Town, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

Before dawn, countless screams echoed over the manor.

The two captured spies successively revealed six people, and then Caluze followed the trail and caught four more.

The existence of these twelve people shocked Edmund, who immediately began a thorough investigation of all suspicious people in the territory.

Under the coercion and temptation of the guards, eight more people were caught.

Of course, these eight people were not from Marquis Cold Blade, two were sent by Baron Sloer, there were spies from the Western Province, and some were from independent intelligence-selling organizations.

Even Edmund, who had a good temper, was furious upon hearing that a total of twenty spies were caught, and started a major cleanup of the entire town.

Luo De didn’t stay in Frost Town for long, leaving after two days with part of Edmund’s reward.

Edmund was extremely generous, giving Luo De three hundred gold coins, five thousand pounds of grain, two sets of crystal glassware and ornaments, along with various exquisite silver utensils.

Luo De disliked these noble utensils, but it would be very impolite to sell gifts given by others, so he eventually took them away.

Once the future Lord Manor is built, it will need some decent noble items.

Luo De then transferred the three hundred gold coins to Edmund, asking him to convert them all into slaves and send them to Long Winter Town.

Gold coins themselves are worthless; it is talent that is most important.

Edmund agreed readily, especially since there were plenty of refugees, so slaves were not in short supply.

The soldiers of Long Winter Town also returned to Black Pine Ridge with the people of Long Winter Town.

Luo De did not follow the team but headed directly to the eastern forest of Long Winter Town with Frost Thunderbolt and Ridge.

The spies were very clear that Lady Rose intended to strike at Luo De’s trade route to curb the development of Black Pine Ridge.

If it were before, Luo De might have had no other way but to endure the suppression silently.

But now, Luo De plans to open up a new trade route.

At the foot of the mountain, Luo De

"Ridge, I want you to forge ahead along this valley and open up a road."

Luo De pointed at the mountains ahead,

"You can penetrate all the mountains and hills you encounter, the road should be as straight as possible."

"As long as you can open up this road."

Luo De solemnly looked at the Ridge beneath him, "I will grant you powerful true dragon bloodline, just like Frost Thunderbolt."

"Roar!"

Ridge let out an excited roar, turned his head, his golden vertical pupils fixed on the mountain ahead, as if seeing a lifelong enemy, and charged fiercely!

Soon after, he opened his massive maw and bit down on the rock!

The hard rock instantly turned into crispy biscuits, being devoured one mouthful after another, and soon the rock was penetrated, revealing the soil inside.

This was even easier for Ridge, his forelimbs flailing wildly, the twin horns on his head glowing yellow, and the earth in the hole quickly disappeared.

Before long, Ridge’s figure vanished on the hillside, leaving only a dark cave.

"Truly fierce!"

Vivian couldn’t help but exclaim seeing this scene and looked at Luo De, "Seeing this, Ridge could tunnel through a mountain in just a day?"

"Not that fast, Ridge needs rest too."

Luo De explained with a smile: "Digging these tunnels not only consumes physical strength, but also magical power, otherwise the earth wouldn’t disappear into thin air."

"However..."

Luo De looked at Vivian, "How are the two Earth Spirit Demon Rabbits doing?"

"They might need to rest for another two weeks, right?"

Vivian glanced surreptitiously at Frost and Thunderbolt, "Those two were too ruthless, they suffered more than just superficial injuries."

Luo De nodded pensively, "Looks like I need to prepare some healing magic potions. Once the Earth Spirit Demon Rabbits recover, they can help Ridge open up the path."

The Northern Wilderness Mountain Range is filled with mountains; if more straight roads can be opened up, the efficiency of travel will double.

"Let’s go, let’s have those three little ones help first."

Luo De casually said, "At least they can help widen the path."

As he spoke, Luo De mounted Thunderbolt, suddenly remembering something,

"By the way, what about your father’s injury? Has he tried any treatments?"
