The morning meeting is just a decision-making process, and more work is never done at this time.

Ornn IV's original intention was to win over Caesar by granting him fiefdom, and he never thought of using his daughter in marriage to get close to Caesar. Hutun was just being too clever for his own good.

Even if he really wanted to do this, he still had to consider Caesar's thoughts. If he was unwilling, the Ornn Empire could not force him, which would only make the relationship between the two sides strained.

"Well, the marriage still needs further consideration. Suo Ling, what do you want to say?"

"This is inappropriate." Thorin Allen smiled slightly, and his invisible charm made him more approachable. "Although giving preferential treatment to talents is a fine tradition of our Orn Empire, as far as I know, three of the brave team members are women. If Your Majesty rashly grants marriage without knowing their relationship, it may backfire."

"What do you think?" He looked at Hu Tun and smiled.

The latter was staring blankly at the eldest prince's face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Uh, ah, you're right." Hu Tun was actually stunned just now. What was going on? He was a man.

"The matter of fiefdom cannot be decided in a few words, but the title can be given first. You, Thoring, will be responsible for handling it. If there is nothing else, let's end it today." The lion on the throne seemed tired and waved his hand, saying, "As for the marriage, let Jefferson decide for himself."

After saying this, without waiting for the court officials to respond, his figure flashed, and the next moment, he disappeared from the throne, leaving the court officials looking at each other in bewilderment.

Someone among the ministers found Thoring Allen and asked.

"Your Highness, as for the request for assistance from various ethnic groups, if we do not raise it to His Majesty at the court meeting today, then..." The person asking the question was a man with a mustache, who looked a bit coquettish.

Suo Ling waved his hand and said, "The country is in short supply of magic stones right now. The power of golems cannot be abused. If I ask for help rashly, I'm afraid my father will be unhappy. As for those new mazes, we can send some adventurers down to reduce the number of monsters and send mages to seal them first. These are not a big deal. When the magic stones arrive in January next year, the army will naturally clear them out."

"This..." It can be seen that he seemed to want to say something, but Thoring Allen did not give him the chance to continue, but left directly.

"Oh." Seeing this, he could only sigh, turned around and left.

His name is Gold Alvis, a member of the Alvis family, responsible for the procurement of some logistical items in the palace.

His aunt is the daughter of a sheep tribe chief and recently came to him for help with something.

Recently, for some unknown reason, many mazes have appeared in various places in Ornn. Various monsters from them would run out from time to time to attack the races on the ground, causing them great trouble.

Although these tribes live within the territory of Ornn, they are not protected by the Ornn Empire.

Although the first Emperor Ornn hoped that all races in his territory could live in harmony, this was impossible.

They have their own autonomous territories within Ornn, and can live a stable life by paying tribute to the empire on time, but they are also very clear that they are not true people of Ornn and do not belong to any of the 42 provinces of Ornn.

The emergence of the maze posed a great threat to their life and property safety. They had no way to solve the mazes by themselves and could only ask for help from Ornn IV. However, with their small power, they were not even qualified to meet Ornn IV. In the end, they could only find Gold, the logistics procurement officer in the palace. Gold then made some connections and finally found the eldest prince.

This is what it’s like when you’re weak. You have no choice but to beg for help.

After taking many detours, he left the palace and his carriage was already waiting for him at the gate.

"Let's go." He ordered his driver with a sad face. There was nothing he could do. He didn't have much say in his position.

After all these years, he finally bought a house of his own within the second ring road of the inner city and had a happy marriage. This was already the blessing of his family. He couldn't have done more.

But his aunt came to him for help, and he had to help. A small family would not be able to survive without unity in such a big capital.

As soon as I return home, I can see pairs of expectant eyes.

This time, there were more than a dozen different tribes that came to find him. The strongest among their tribes were only Emerald Level warriors, but in the capital, warriors of this level could be found everywhere.

The middle-aged woman with white hair and goat horns saw Gold coming back and hurried forward.

"How is it? Has His Majesty agreed to send troops?" she asked expectantly.

"The magic stones in the national treasury have been a bit tight lately. I'm afraid..." He didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew what he meant.

The tauren Kedun was the one sent by their tribe to ask for help from the royal family of Ornn. This muscular man had a worried look on his face at this moment: "So what should we do?"

"His Highness said that as long as we wait until January, there will be enough magic stones to drive the golems. Before that, we can only send more adventurers and warriors from the tribe to kill the escaped monsters." Gold replied. He had no other choice.

"January? That's too long. Winter is coming soon. If there is not enough food, many of my people will starve to death!" Kedun's eyes widened like copper bells. "We pay so much tribute to Ornn every year!"

A beautiful woman whose upper body is human and whose lower body is a spider said, "Is there no other way? If we grit our teeth, can't we scrape together some money?"

"Yes, maybe we can ask the Crown Prince for help?" An elven woman next to her said, "Maybe there is another way."

Also present were cat people, rabbit people, underground dwarves, lizard people, and other races, all of whom were discussing the matter at once.

I don't know how much time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and there was still no result.

Everyone was still arguing and talking here. Since it concerned their own people, no one could ignore it.

Gold sat helplessly on the main seat in the hall and said, "It's already dark. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll go to the palace tomorrow to ask the eldest prince."

"This is the only thing we can do." Gold's aunt said this while supporting her elderly father. The elderly chief had no choice but to turn to his married daughter for help for the sake of his tribe.

The crowd continued to discuss here but could not come to any conclusion, so they had no choice but to leave.

But this is the inner city of the royal capital. There are no facilities like hotels, and the Knights will not allow visitors from the outer city to stay overnight in the inner city. They must leave the inner city. Unless they report it in advance, they will be wanted by the Knights.

"Lila, what now?" the spider woman asked, "Where do we go now?"

The Spider Tribe and the Night Elf Tribe live underground in the same area. Both races are matriarchal, and their similar ideas lead to them having very good relations.

There were quite a few of them who came to the imperial capital to seek help this time, including two spider women and six elf women. It was already dark, so they had to find a place to stay.

The woman named Leila gritted her teeth. She had not expected that the cost of living in the capital would be so high, nor had she anticipated that asking for help from the Orn Empire would be such a complicated matter. After wasting many days, they did not have much money left.

At this point, we have no choice but to bow our heads.

"One of our clan members owns a shop in the East City District of the royal capital. Let's stay there for one night," she said.
