Chapter 319

"Damn, these barbarian have become too cunning!" Rudolph's face was gloomy: "Make sure to contact our informants in the military to see what their decision would be . I want to know what choice they will make . The barbarians should have made plans for a long time if they have broken into the fortress . Their aim shouldn't be so simple . In addition prepare a carriage immediately, I have to go to consortium for a meeting . "

"Yes . " Butler replied .

Another room in the castle .

A bedroom which was more thank hundred square meters . The four meter wide bed inside the room was decorated with pink mosquie nets . There was a servant by the bed with a stick . A man and a woman sat by the table near the bed . The woman had a huge paper card in her hand .

There was a law book in her other hand . She will stop to rest and read the book .

. . .

Mel family .

A gorgeous office .

A dark red carpet spread to every corner of the room . There were pale gold curtains with butterfly designs on them covering the windows . The sun rays that shined reflected the pattern of butterflies on the carpet . A light breeze would blow curtains from time to time . Above the room there was a portrait of a famous actress once upon a time . But now it was replaced with a massive map . The map had a large square on it referring to outline of the entire giant wall . The center of the map was colored in dark gray tone . There were four areas which seemed to look like sewage drains . They represented three areas and the inner wall . In addition to those areas garbage dump was drawn on the map too . In comparison to the other areas garbage dump wasn't isolated .

You could vagualy able to see contours of various regions . There were small black spots with symbols marked on them in the perihpery of this area . After this area the rest of the region was marked in crimson color . That area was the wilderness .

There were thick lines outside the wilderness representing giant wall . There were large number of areas circled outside the giant wall . There were small numbers written on each area .

A slender girl with golden hair which fell onto her shoulders like a waterfall sat by the chair in front of the magnificent map . She had a different temperament in comparison to other aristocratic ladies . She seemed like a capable person . She was wearing a black skirt with dark red clothing on top .

Normally, her father would be sitting in this position but right now she was occupying the seat .

She was Mel family's miss Sarah .

"Miss, the barbarians have broken through the fort . The military should be encircling the area, right?" A maid with big eyes standing next to her whispered . Her dress was different from ordinary mais as her clothing seemed more neutral . She had short brown hair . At first glance you would mistake her for a slim handsome boy . However her big bulging chest betrayed her sex .

Sarah looked at the small map in front of her: "Although military can focus their forces to push them back but then barbarians would take the opportunity to attack other fortresses . It is a tactic by the barbarians . "

"Barbarians should have knowledge about the environment . How can they be so crafty?" The maid was puzzled .

Sarah slowly said: "Attacking others is in human nature . We are like beasts who are born to hunt . In the long term if they don't grow and increase then they will be eliminated from the map . Moreover they have taken advantage of the prayer day for the invasion . It seems they have smart and capable leaders . I'm afraid the war will be a long one . Damned soldiers, it was just a fortress!"

The maid saw the angry expression on Sarah's face . She didn't have fear but was worried for Sarah: "If the war gets protracted then the losses of our consortium will be too big . The Red Maple mountains are behind the fortress . The barbarians are bound to invade the mountains . The terrain over there is so that it is very easy to defend but hard to attack . It is the first stronghold invaded by the barbarians . If the war is delayed the foundation of our consortium will be shaken . We will lose our foothold in competition with Scott consortium . "

Sarah looked at her and smiled: "All these years that you have spent by my side hasn't been gone to waste . You have good eyes!"

The maid was startled: "It's because young lady has nurtured me well . "

Sarah smiled: "Then let's take this opportunity to test your knowledge . So what do you think we should do?"

The maid looked back at her: "Miss you have said that the mining industry is the battleground between our consortium and the Scott consortium . Moreover the Red Maple mountains are the financial foundation of the Mellon consortium so we can't lose it . The only way is that we can temporarily load the military with war supplies and share their burdens . This way they can drive out the barbarians and end the war . We can take our time to collect the debts . However even if the military doesn't pay it back then they will owe us . It would be much more convenient for our consortium if military owed us for services . "

Sarah smiled: "You little devil! The idea is pretty good . "

The maid's eyes lit up: "It because of your teachings . "

Sarah took back her eyes: "The idea is good but not feasible . The other consortia and the military can think of this method too . So it won't be effective . Moreover you are underestimating the military's background and heritage . If they really want to then they can expel these barbarians in an instant . "

The maid was startled: "that . . . . . . Why then military doesn't act? The military's reputation will be lost if the barbarians swept so . . . "

"Lisa, you are still not experienced enough . " Sarah gently tapped her fingers on the table: "Every consortia including the military are enemies . You better remember this! If we are born in this world then the confrontation is inevitable . So unless it is a critical moment we won't expose our most valuable cards . Fame and reputation? If we are not willing then the eyes of the masses won't see . "

The maid called Lisa was startled . She bowed: "Miss you are smart!"



"At least I'm better than my brother . " Sarah's eyes lit up: "He only knows how to follow the Holy Church . What's the use of being a Knight of Light? A lackey!"

Lisa's face slightly changed as she didn't dare to say anything .

"Make the preparation . I can't wait to attend the meeting and see the discussion about how they are going to solve the problem of mines in the Red Maple mountains . If uncle Rudolph can't come up with proper solutions then the Burong family will lose a lot because of those mines . And if they lose in this stage how can they stand on equal footing with Mel family? If not because of Rudolph's short-sightedness then the most talented architect in the history of the Temple, Dean, would have belonged to our consortium now . We would have already unified the economic powers within the three regions . Sleazy guy!" Sarah said in a cold tone .

Lisa nodded as she sneaked a glance at her but she didn't say anything .

. . .

Temple of Elements .

Dudian showed his identity medal and went through bunch of procedures . Finally he received his own senior architect medal . In addition he was given 50,000 gold coins as a gift . Although the money wasn't much for him as he could get more than 500,000 gold coins from the sales of lightning rod . But as a bonus it was a very good money .

In addition to the bonus he was given a new place in a different castle . He would have a separate floor for research . Moreover the floors upstairs and downstairs wouldn't be occupied by anyone else so there wouldn't be anyone to interfere with him .

Dudian hired few staff members from the Temple and led back to his room . They packed the letters from the ground and brought the other tools that belonged to him . As they went out the people saw Dudian's new medal . They knew that he was moving out . All of them looked at him with envy . Few of them wanted to take this opportunity to pave a way for future relationship but Dudian politely declined .

Dudian came to the 13th castle in accordance with the instructions . He reported at the door and saw a similar figure who noticed him too . Both of them were startled . The person had a stiff smiled on her face: "I've heard that you have advanced to senior architect . Congratulations!"

Tiffany didn't expect to meet the boy so soon . The last time she had failed when both of the pleaded in court . The crossbow invented by the boy was criticized by her but it had won very high awards . It wasn't just better than her own works but even her teacher's three star snake crossbow was inferior to boy's invention . This had deeply affected her but the most profound reflection that he got from the boy was his word about tribute to the teacher .

She had painstakingly researched her new invention and was in a stage where she made the finishing touches . However she once more heard the uproar produced by the outstanding invention of the boy . Moreover it was a cross-faction invention which made him into a rare double-faction architect . In addition the boy had reached the status of senior architect and was on equal footing with her . Even more unexpectedly the latter was assigned to the same castle with her!

Dudian didn't expect to meet the woman in this castle . Actually the matter between them which had happened wasn't taken into his heart . It was like a wind which had passed already: "I didn't think that you would be in here . It seems that we will be neighbors in the future . "



Tiffany's heart loosened as she saw the relaxed smile on Dudian's face . She didn't know how to respond if Dudian held anger against her because of the original problem between them . Tiffany smiled as the problem hanging in her heart fell: "I was at ninth castle but was moved to here . I didn't think that I would meet you . If you need any help in the future then let me know . "

"Thanks . " Dudian smiled .

Senior architects were people with lots of connections so it was better to have them as friends rather than enemies .

Tiffany saw the huge baggage carried by the staff of the Temple who stood behind Dudian: "You have just come over so which building you have been assigned? I'll take you over . "

"Don't worry, I'll find myself . You are busy . "

"It's alright . " Tiffany replied .

Dudian no longer refused and told her the name of the building . Tiffany helped her with handling formalities and got the keys to the building .

Dudian bid farewell to Tiffany and checked the various floors of the building . There were some scattered furniture . He was too lazy to organize them as he saw this place as a temporary foothold . His goal was much higher!

. . .

. . .

At dusk .

Dudian went to the back to his castle he saw Ryan family servant waiting for him in the castle . The person explained things to Dudian which made him to rush out of his castle to Ryan family .

Two hours later Dudian appeared on the second floor of the Ryan castle . Old Fulin and Sander were present in the study room .

"I have just heard . " Old Fulin spoke in a low tone: "Barbarians have broken through a fort . Their aim seems to be the Red Maple mountains behind the fortress . If the military doesn't act fast enough then they will be able to enter the Red Maple mountains . If they are slow to react then it will be a long war . "



Dudian's eyes lit up as he contemplated: "Which Lord owns the Red Maple mountains? Which consortium they are affiliated with?"

"It is the site of Mellon consortium . " Old Fulin replied .

Dudian was startled .

Old Fulin and Sander stood quietly .

Dudian raised his head after a moment: "How much do you know about barbarians?"

Old Fulin asked: "Do you want to help? It's not something that we can intervene with . The barbarians are fierce and they are led by a brave and skilled military advisor . Moreover there are blood barbarians in their rows . They are as fierce as hunters . Especially when they are mad their strength and powers are greatly enhanced . "

Dudian's eyes lit up as he stood silent .

He stood up after a moment: "Mellon will be checking to see our recent actions . You don't get involved in anything as I'll handle this matter . "

Old Fulin looked at him: "We will rely on you . "

Dudian nodded slightly as he put on his coat . Old Fulin wanted to go downstairs but was stopped by Dudian: "Let Master Sander send me off . You should rest . "

Old Fulin hesitated but nodded his head at the end .

Dudian commanded the coachman to go to a nearby hotel after leaving the Ryan family: "It's late we should sleep here . " He rented two rooms . One for himself and the second for coachman .

Dudian slowly opened the window and went out as the night got darker .
