Rex wondered if he was hearing correctly that the current rising star of the Western continent was willing to be the sturdy shield for the Mogoru that was the setting sun.

�We will also provide the funds for the Empire�s Alchemists� Bell Tower and for alchemy itself to stand back up.�

�Ha!�

Rex was shocked.

He subconsciously said exactly what was on his mind.

�What is left for the Roan Kingdom? Aren�t you just giving and giving without receiving anything back?�

Cale heard Raon�s voice in his mind at that moment.

� That�s not true! You�re wrong little Cat Knight! The human and crown prince will not just be giving! I saw the two of them laughing!

Cale naturally ignored Raon�s voice.

�Why do we get nothing back?�

�Well, to build a city and bring in both magic and alchemy, both of which are expensive to maintain, would cost a lot of money. Would there be anything left?�

Cale leisurely shook his head and answered back.

�It�s fine. We have a lot of money.�

Rex didn�t even have the capacity to be shocked anymore.

However, the Roan Kingdom really did have a lot of money.

They received money for helping the Caro Kingdom. They were also going to receive a lot of money from the defeated three northern kingdoms. In addition, the Roan Kingdom was going to trade food to the Norland Kingdom up north.

They had more money than ever and also had a lot of money that should be coming in.

��I can�t understand at all. Why would the Roan Kingdom make such an offer?�

The Empire would need to give up some land. This would be very painful to do. However, the things that they would get back in return were worth quite a bit.

They would also not need to fight a bloody war nor have to sign a humiliating agreement.

It was a deal where you gave something to get something back.

That was why Sir Rex could not understand the Roan Kingdom and Cale.

However, Cale recalled the conversation he had with the crown prince at the Gorge of Death.

It was one of the conversations they had inside Alberu�s tent. JrNovels.com
