Chapter 384 - Starting From Scratch

Chapter 384: Starting From Scratch

Samar’s bedroom was huge. It was filled with all kinds of sex toys and unsightly equipment.

Ever since she had come to Samar, Allie had been hearing about how promiscuous the bedroom was.

That was why she had never gone to Samar’s bedroom.

When she heard Samar call her into the bedroom, Allie instinctively resisted at first.

But in the end, she forced herself to go.

And when she went into Samar’s bedroom, she couldn’t have imagined what she had seen.

She couldn’t imagine that the second most powerful general of the east, except James, had fallen to such a state.

In such a sad and angry mood, Allie kept walking forward towards Samar’s bed without looking away.

She did not stop until she was only five meters away from Samar’s bed.

“Are you still not going to change your mind?”

When he raised his head, he saw Allie’s silent expression.

Samar seemed to have understood something.

“It’s useless. There are many things that you are not clear about. Things are not as simple as you think. What you have chosen is a path that is impossible to walk on. I advise you to consider my suggestion and give yourself to Prince Ulysses. This is—”

“I know better than anyone else how difficult the path I have chosen is, but I will still walk on. This is what is called courage. I know that you cannot understand or can even try to understand because you have completely lost it.”

Samar seemed to laugh at her.

He also seemed to laugh at himself.

After a moment, Samar said to Allie, “I have an abandoned village, and there is a mine nearby that does not have many resources to mine. You can settle down there. I will give you 20 horses, some food, eight carriages, two sets of armor, five swords, and 3,000 gold coins. You can go. That’s all I can give you.”

“Thank you for your generosity.”

After hearing Samar’s offer, Allie stood there in a daze for a while.

But in the end, she bit her lip and did not let herself explode.

Instead, she coldly said these words and turned around to leave. “What! 20 horses? Five baskets of food! Eight carriages! Two sets of refined armor, five swords, and 3,000 gold coins? My god, isn’t your cousin too f*cking generous?”

When Allie brought these back from Samar’s place, Lei Luo almost jumped up on the spot. He covered his face with both hands and shook his head in disbelief.

Allie swallowed her saliva in shame, not knowing what to say.

In fact, Lei Luo was not the only one who had such thoughts.

Other than Arthur, everyone else was shocked.

“I personally suggest that the two of you go talk to Samar again.”

After Lei Luo finished shouting, Casa almost immediately stood up nervously.

“I have a feeling that we’ll be killed on the way.”

Even Morton shook his head with a pessimistic expression.

“It’s impossible for us to obtain more things. If you want to regret it, it’s still not too late,” Allie said as she turned around and walked out of the window, ignoring the scenery outside.

In his life, Lei Luo couldn’t stand people making such expressions.

It was as if they were saying, “Don’t worry about me. Just let me die.”

Seeing Allie like this, Lei Luo immediately turned around.

“Actually, what does it matter if we have more capital or less? Everyone is prepared to start from scratch.”

Arthur saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he came out to smooth things over.

“Things are not that simple. The senate will only start to confer titles once every ten years. This means that the people of the entire empire only get a chance to get a noble title once every ten years, and those who get a noble title only get a chance to get a fief once every ten years. And once they have their fiefs forever, they can have the legal right to declare war and diplomatic power. They also have the right to expand their territory and obtain more territory. The senate’s next chance to develop a noble title will be in the next year.”

Hearing Morton’s explanation, Arthur understood.

“That is to say…That is to say, we only have one year and ten years to raise three million gold coins to buy the fiefdom. Otherwise, it will be ten years later.”

Morton shook his head as soon as Casa finished speaking.

He explained further.

“No, there are many nobles who request to implement the fiefdom every year. However, according to the senate, the territories developed by the empire are quite limited. Therefore, this price is only the official price. If you really want to get the real territory from the senate, you will need to spend more money. If you don’t have a reliable backer, the cost will be more than ten times higher.”

“Ten times?!”

“That’s right, these nobles bought it. After all, there are too few people who can actually get the family title. Most of them only have the eldest son.”

“In other words, we have to use our current trash to earn more than three million gold coins in a year’s time? What kind of joke is this? It’s impossible for us to have so little wealth now. Your highness, I’m a genius, not a god…”

Everyone realized this.

Whenever he talked about money, Lei Luo’s expression would turn ferocious.

However, jumping was one thing.

Going crazy was another.

Lei Luo didn’t give up on his promise.

He still set foot in that small village without a name.

Since Lei Luo agreed, Morton and Arthur naturally went.

As for Casa, he was bound to die.

What else could he do but follow?

In fact, the village wasn’t far from where they were.

It was just that they chose to travel at this speed, so they treasured it.

The daily journey wasn’t fast either.

It took them more than half a month to reach the small village.

In everyone’s mind, they thought that the best candidate to be the commander was Lei Luo.

They were not sure if he had the talent to command, and he did not say anything himself.

However, everyone still relied on their instincts and thought that he was the best commander.

However, once Lei Luo got on the carriage, he and Morton stayed in the carriage and didn’t come out at all.

Arthur and Allie were both warriors, and commanding the carriage wasn’t something they were good at.

Thus, Commander Casa had to be the commander.

At first, everyone thought that Lei Luo was just angry and would come out in a few days.

But no one expected that Lei Luo would stay in the carriage for a whole month.

And what was even more incredible was that Morton stayed in the carriage with him for a month.

It had gotten really weird.

Even Allie found it all strange.

One day, Allie sneaked to the carriage and peaked into what they were doing…and she didn’t expect what she had seen.
