The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

On the surface, the Dukedom of Ophir seems to be a rather poor place.

Since this territory is located in the northeast corner of the entire continent, the climate here is actually quite harsh - there are eight months of cold winter throughout the year, and the humid sea breeze blowing from the east makes this place covered with ice and snow all year round.

Although the Duchy is on the sea, the Empire's coastline is full of shoals, turbulent currents and reefs, making it impossible to build ports for large cargo ships, so it has no advantage in trade.

What is the use of such a territory?

"In addition to common knowledge, the Dukedom of Ophir actually has a large amount of geothermal resources. The ground veins extending from Kliatis make the temperature in some areas here as hot as spring all year round, so the grain yield is quite high."

"Food...but is there something wrong with the leyline now?"

"Even if someone really blocked the earth veins, the reaction would not be that fast. At least in the next few years, the Dukedom will not have to worry about food problems."

Aarons once received a report that someone had installed many invisible earth vein jammers inside the empire in an attempt to block the normal flow of the earth veins.

However, the earth veins are not a simple straight line, so unless all the nodes are completely blocked, it is difficult to cause a large-scale impact.

"How is the supply going?"

"We have purchased daily necessities and food, but we are still short of raw materials for weapons and research and development... The Dark Wing team investigated the market situation and found that the other party seemed to have intentionally blocked the circulation of several commodities."

"Against us? No, he can't predict what we need."

Although he didn't know what Duke Oufei was doing, Aarons didn't have time to care about such trivial matters.

The basic supplies of Shiratori have been replenished. Even if guided weapons cannot be launched, conventional artillery can be used for air suppression.

Even though this is not the main production area of ​​the empire's magic source stone, this kind of conventional civilian supplies can still be found everywhere.

So now Aarons has the ability to pick up the third prince and then return to the border to make long-term plans.

"That's it for now. Let the logistics team return tomorrow, and let the Dark Wings move freely - disband."

……

After giving a brief order, Aarons returned to his room.

Huang Yayin had left him a message through Karin before, but he didn't have time to read it immediately after receiving it. It was only after two days that he remembered about it again.

And Karin had previously explained that it was best not to let other people see this thing for the time being.

"This thing is... a recording crystal, right?"

In this world, when people want to preserve video records, they usually use a special kind of crystal.

After the images and sounds are compiled using magic of the three attributes of thunder, wind and light, they can be engraved in the crystal. As long as a certain amount of magic power is infused into the crystal, the saved images can be reproduced.

The principle of this thing is similar to the CD that Aarons used in his previous life, so there is nothing difficult to understand.

"The magic interface is here... OK."

Because he couldn't release magic power, Aarons connected the crystal to the magic transmission line in the office.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared in the illusory image.

[Hey, little guy, how are you doing lately? I guess you are not feeling well. ]

Although it was just an image, Aarons still felt like his thoughts were seen through.

The legendary hunter Huang Yayin acquired meticulous observation skills during her past career of hunting high-level monsters alone - now she can see through other people's thoughts with just a glance.

However, Aarons didn't mind having his thoughts seen through, after all, the lady's adopted daughter had actually been doing this all along.

[I taught your two little girls a little trick, and they will show you later. And I left this thing here specifically to tell you what I will do next. ]

Huang Yayin seemed to have some purpose, but Aarons didn't care too much.

Considering that lady's ability, if it is something she cannot solve, then there is no point in knowing it.

[We plan to go to the current Covenant Church to investigate the situation - if these bad things are really related to those guys, we must settle accounts with them.]

"The Star Seeking Group... and that very dangerous guy."

Previously, Clary had met a mysterious man in the imperial city who claimed to have no hostility. Although that man did not seem to have any special abilities, Clary felt that he should not be underestimated.

If that person is also a member of the Star-Seeking Group, then how much strength does this mysterious organization from the west of the continent hide?

[So, don't worry about where I'm going. If we're destined to meet again, I think I'll meet you somewhere else. By then, you should be strong enough to face other threats.]

"Other threats...?"

The stage of Empire has been torn into pieces. Even if it is put together again, it is no longer suitable for performing on stage.

So he had to solve the problem here as soon as possible and then find a new way out - fortunately, the huge aerial mothership of Shiratori had given him a movable territory, and then he would need to find a new target.

I always feel that I should do something when I come to this world, but I don’t know what it is yet.

[Okay, there's nothing else to say. Finally, I'll remind you of one thing - be careful of those who seem selfless on the surface.]

Aarons didn't think much about what this was hinting at.

But since Huang Yayin specifically mentioned it, I will of course be more careful.

"Let's just focus on solving the problem at hand."

……

After completing the supply, the huge white bird quietly passed through the gloomy, heavy and cold clouds and arrived at the core of the Dukedom of Orpheus, the city of Mora Orpheus.

This huge border city named after the first Duke of Orpheus, although not as prosperous as other places, is also very heavy and solemn, allowing people to feel its solemnity.

And in the cold snow, this city radiating heat continues to operate steadily.

"It looks like this is our destination... Dark Wing, tell me what's going on in the city."

[This is number one. There is nothing unusual in the city. I specifically asked a few residents. They all know that there is a war on the front line, but they all believe that Duke Oufei will definitely protect them and win the war.]

"Isn't this even more bizarre?"

This strange state of trying to hide something but making it more obvious gave Aarons a dangerous idea.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what was hidden there, and then meet the Duke in person - only in this way would he know whether he had missed any important information.

"Keep in touch - everyone else, follow me to the war conference room."
