"During his tenure, Vipattu violated the teachings of the Holy Light, abused his power for personal gain, took advantage of his position to collect money at high prices, ignored the injuries of people until they died, violated the laws of the empire, maliciously caused the death of people, sold fake medicines and many other crimes. He was sentenced to death. You have Any objection?"

Gudern threw them pieces of evidence collected one by one, listing his evil deeds. Under such irrefutable evidence, Vipatu turned pale, and then his face gradually turned ferocious and roared.

"It doesn't matter that you are the Earl of the Empire. I am a priest of the Holy Light Church and am not under the jurisdiction of the Empire. Moreover, these things are all false. What right do you have to judge me?"

"Huh, rights?"

Gudern chuckled and shook the divine light and holy spirit in his hand.

"I don't think it's worth using my own rights for you. I just want to help the church clean up the garbage."

With that said, Gudern cast a spell out of thin air to seal and imprison Vipatu. He didn't bother to argue with this kind of bug, and sealed his vocal cords to shut him up completely.

Then, Gudern looked at the other personnel and said coldly.

"Although I am investigating the crime of Weipatu alone, so-called colleagues, it is impossible for you not to be in such a situation, or even involved in these things, but I don't want to know or listen to your explanation now, and give you a choice , I will confess my crime to the nearest superior church and accept the punishment. Otherwise, if I find out again, I will be responsible for the consequences."

After Gudern finished speaking, he brought the imprisoned Vipatu to Irene and asked softly.

"Do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you?"

At this moment, Erin did not hesitate and chose to do it herself.

"I'll do it myself."

Erin said, taking out a cheap dagger from her magic storage device.

Although it is cheap, it has become very sharp after years of polishing and correction.

This was the weapon she had thought about using for revenge. When there was no storage space, she would basically carry it with her when she went out, or put it under her pillow.

Looking at the imprisoned Weipatu, he looked at the girl who took out the dagger and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

But seeing the other party getting closer and closer, it was definitely not a good thing, and he himself couldn't move, which made him can't help but make a whining sound to express his fear.

"Master Priest, do you still remember me?"

When she was one step closer to Vipatu, Irene stopped and asked aloud.

At this time, although Vipatu looked familiar, he couldn't remember it. He could only blink his eyes desperately. Gudern saw this and unlocked some of the restrictions on his head.

After being unlocked, Weipatu shook his head wildly, expressing his ignorance.

Eileen was not surprised when she saw this, and slowly told her father's situation at that time.

At this time, Weipatu realized that it was no wonder that he looked familiar to Irene. It turned out to be the girl from four years ago. At that time, he also found Irene's appearance very pleasant, so he had evil intentions, but unfortunately the other girl did not like him. This way, he ran away directly, which made him feel regretful for a long time.

"Although my father did not die because of you, you completely took away our last hope of living...so..."

"Pfft..."

As Irene said, she pierced the opponent's heart with all her strength with the polished dagger. After confirming that it was on the ground, she quickly pulled it out.

Although Eileen looks very weak most of the time, only a few people know how strong and determined the heart is underneath this weak appearance.

Facing the priest who killed her father, Irene didn't hesitate at all and rushed to kill the opponent with one strike.

The drawn dagger spurted out instantly along with blood, and with Gudern's help, the blood was blocked by his magic and did not splash onto Irene and contaminate her.

Seeing the priest who was completely lifeless in front of her, the biggest stone in Irene's heart fell completely.

Putting away her dagger, Irene returned to Gudern, lowered her head, and said like a child who had done something wrong.

"Master, thank you."

Gudern didn't say anything, and casually cremated the other party on the spot with a burst of flame, and smashed the other party's bones into pieces and melted them into the land.

"Let's go."

After completely disposing of the opponent's body, Gudern returned to the Golden Griffin and prepared to leave.

Passing by Chi Tiecheng this time, Gudern just came to solve this problem. If Aileen couldn't do it, he wouldn't mind solving it on his behalf.

But now it seems that he was worried too much, and the little maid's determined heart has not changed.

Before boarding the gryphon, Erin suddenly made a request to Gudern.

"Master, I want to go see my father."

"Okay, point me in the direction."

Facing Erin's request, Gudern did not refuse and directly asked her to direct Hogtz to take them there.

Even though she had not returned home for four years, Irene was still very familiar with this land. She arrived at a tomb within a few minutes of pointing the way.

Although four years of wind and rain had almost rotted and weathered the wooden inscription, Irene could still recognize that it was her father's tomb.

Eileen walked up to the present and looked at her father's tomb. She was thinking a lot and wanted to say countless things, but she couldn't say anything.

Gudern looked at the appearance here, casually took out a nearby boulder, used magic to instantly smash it into a square tombstone, engraved the name of Eileen's father, and turned the original rotten wooden stone into a square tombstone. The tombstones were replaced with stone tombstones.

After doing all this, Gudern stood beside Irene silently.

Seeing this, Irene let out a long sigh of relief, then squatted in front of the tombstone and used her strength to dig a small hole.

Then he took out the dagger that had just killed Vipattu and put it into the pit. Then he took out a group of silver coins worth one gold coin that had been collected for almost three years, and then put them into the pit together and buried them with the dagger. stand up.

The dagger represents Erin's letting go of hatred, and the gold coin represents her no longer worrying about the future.

The incident of not being able to raise a single gold coin for treatment will never happen again, and she will no longer feel confused and worried about the future.

"Dad, I am living a good life now, my mother has also recovered, and Amy can pursue a better education and study as you wish. You can rest in peace..."

Saying silently in her heart, Erin then turned around and said to Gudern.

"Master, let's go back quickly. It's getting late. If we go back early, I can make dinner in time."

Irene quickly recovered her emotions, and Gudern did not need to comfort him. He nodded, then boarded the gryphon again and returned to Qingyuan Town.

Although there was a delay on the way, it did not affect the arrival time.

When we returned to Qingyuan Town, it was just evening and it was time to make dinner.

The news of Gudern's return suddenly spread to the town. At the same time, they were also very surprised by the news that the lord became an earl and expanded his territory.

Especially those residents who have not left yet feel even more fortunate.

This is nonsense, since my hometown is also Gudern's territory, so why not just stay and work here.

During the period when Gooden left, Kroger also followed the arrangements for staying and did not stop those who wanted to leave.

In almost ten days, more than 40,000 people left one after another.

Of course, in addition to those who left, there were also people who came here because of the reputation. The total number of people in Qingyuan Town is still around 120,000.

Especially the independent incident that just broke out yesterday made many people who had just left suddenly feel a sense of malice.

Did you say there would be no wartime?

Why is the civil war still starting? !

Seeing that the situation was not good, many people turned back and ran back to Qingyuan Town. According to Kroger's estimation, the number of people behind Qingyuan Town would also increase.

After returning to Qingyuan Town, the first thing Gooden did was to gather people to find out how the development was during his absence.

And less than two minutes after this notification, all the responsible personnel had arrived.

According to Gooden's habit, he must find them this time, so when the young master returned, everyone immediately put down their work and came to report the situation.

After nearly ten minutes of comprehensive reporting, Gooden also had a general understanding of the development of Qingyuan Town in the past ten days.

According to the requirements, the residential buildings in Qingyuan Town have been fully completed, and one-third of the construction is duplex buildings. The total population of the inner city can accommodate more than 150,000 people, and the outer city can accommodate more than 50,000 people.

Of course, the buildings in the outer city have not been completed and are still being expanded and prepared. There is no problem in accommodating more people.

At the same time, all personnel who are willing to stay in Qingyuan Town for development have completed secondary identity verification to ensure that there are no deliberate foreign lurkers.

In addition, the railway tracks connecting the mining area have also been completed, and the station unloading yard and other areas have also been completed. The first train is really waiting for Gooden to personally direct it after his return.

Of course, the railway project is not limited to that. The construction of connecting elemental veins and other mining areas has also been completed.

And the construction of the new railway has not stopped. It is being laid in the direction of Xuegu Town and Jinyuan City as required. The laying task will be completed by the end of January next year at the earliest.

Other military deployment and construction, communication tower arrangements, personnel arrangements, etc. have basically been completed before leaving.

At the same time, Gudern also had a general understanding of the independence issues that concerned him most. There was indeed a group of outsiders making trouble in Qingyuan Town.

However, due to the advance preparations of the Intelligence Department and the Security Department, it did not cause much trouble and was directly pressed to death in advance.

According to the accounts of those arrested, they were entrusted by others to promote and cause trouble, but they did not know who was behind the scenes. They just took money to do things, and they had never even seen the face of the person who gave the money.

For these people, Gudern's only arrangement is to send them to the mining area for endless mining work.

It would be too wasteful to let ordinary residents work as miners. After all, these miners are basically local residents of Qingyuan Town, as well as some of the earliest Snow Valley residents and outsiders who came to Qingyuan Town.

They have been in Qingyuan Town for a long time and have some memories of the situation in Qingyuan Town, so they can rest assured when being assigned to other positions.

After the government affairs report was over, Gudern did not make new arrangements immediately. Instead, he asked them to go back and wait until tomorrow to make arrangements.

After all, he only has a general understanding of the situation now, and the next step of deployment has not been arranged in detail. He will arrange it after an outline development is arranged in the evening.

Returning to the long-lost study, as soon as he opened the door, Gudern was startled by Helisa, who was slumped in a soft chair and had her big white legs crossed on his desk.

After confirming that there was no problem with the good relationship between the two parties, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Why are you here?"

Chapter 197 New Year’s Development, Expedition Plan

"What? You don't welcome me?"

Helisa still looked lazy, raising her head slightly to look at Gudern.

"No...no, I'm just a little surprised. I learned that you were missing when I was in the capital, but I didn't expect you to come here."

Gudern shook his head and said while closing the study door and entering the house.

"Are you looking for me in the capital? Is there something wrong?"

Gudern picked up a chair, sat down opposite the desk, and briefly talked about the passing of the royal capital.

Of course, he didn't tell anything about Anna, just his relationship with Olek and the arrangements after the assassination.

Helisa curled her lips and said after hearing the task Olek was going to assign to her.
