Chapter 136: Bonus The Evrens

"Of course they did! Since that day you have been visiting them continuously, at some point you were visiting them at least once a week, all that gold were converted to meals for the poor and distributed here at lunch time every day, 

the official lunch time is in an hour from now, you can wait and watch… Many of the poor in the northern part of the city and their families will gather here to take their rations for today

It is unfortunate that the 50 gold coins aren't nearly enough for everyone, and you don't even go there daily, so the food is also limited… I think that every family has the right to take a meal once every two weeks or so, it was made that way so that the food would reach everyone who is in need… 

but this is still a great help for them and all this is done under your name, your popularity among the poor rises with every dish they receive from here, even the higher Layers of the City and the foreigners are impressed… when someone hears about this initiative from you, nothing comes on their tongues except for praise."

"This…" Robin felt his legs run weak and sat in his place on the roof watching the women and children sitting in front of the tent waiting for something to eat.

Robin remained in his place for more than half an hour, It was long enough to see people began to gather from all sides in the open piece of land,  so many of them that the land began to disappear and was soon covered with skinny bodies with eyes that sparkled with hope as they wait for their turn for the food they have been waiting two weeks for…

  Robin didn't know how he was feeling, he accidentally did something great with that suggestion and that little money… but then again, Yet another thing he is getting praised for even though he didn't mean it! 

The things he really does with his work and brilliance too few know about it, but he is getting the credit and love for some things he never thought of, how ironic is that…

After another few minutes, Robin couldn't stand watching any longer, so he got up and sighed, "Heh~ I looked ahead too much that I forgot what is under my feet, I wanted to change the whole world but I haven't been able to improve the lives of those who live in my own city…

Tell Uncle Brian to subsidize Uncle Tim's restaurant every month with enough money to feed all the poor in the city from today onwards, and they should be three good meals a day and not one, I don't think that would be too troublesome for the family…

I guess 20,000 gold coins would do? This amount would have been a problem in the past, but not anymore… No one shall sleep hungry in my city any longer."

Mila nodded with a smile as if she was waiting for this response all along, "No problem, the patriarch won't refuse you a request like that… More people will be thankful for you from today onwards, Robin."

"Let's go…" Robin said and jumped off the building, and left in the opposite direction…

——————

Mila walked next to him quietly and did not want to disturb him while he was thinking, that scene a while ago had an effect on him more than she thought…

But after a few minutes of walking, he took the initiative, "Where is Billy? I want to ask him something…"

"He spends most of his time in the new lands now, the Five Saints need to stay in the factories to protect the furnaces and the arsenals, as Billy works on overseeing the new projects and dealing with your noble families there…" Mila replied.

"Oh.. well we'll go to the patriarch then."

Mila shook her head, "No need, he has been in seclusion for over a month, he has reserved 3 third level spirit Revitalizing pills and decided to try the breakthrough to level 26."

Upon hearing this, Robin stood in the middle of the street, "What? there is no saint in charge? who runs Jura City then?!"

"Of course I am! Uncle Edward takes care of everything related to the army and its armament, As for all the other matters they are decided by me." Mila placed her hand on her chest and replied proudly

"You?! Sigh~ The family is frighteningly lacking in high class figures… never mind, did we get information on the party that took the Soul Strengthening technique and Soul replenishing technique booklets?"

Mila replied angrily, "I'll try to ignore that you are not treating me as a family member, Hmph! As for the information you are asking for, yes we have it, the intelligence department got it two months ago… 

The guy who leaked the two techniques was not some wandering cultivator as he said, he is relatively unknown as a cultivator, but at the end, we found out that he is a member of a Baron family of the Duchy of Evren."

"..?!" Robin never expected this, or rather he didn't want to expect it, "What kind of relationship does that Baron have with the Evrens?"

"Excellent relationship, in fact, there are many low-level marriage relations between the two families, and they are the first to answer the call of wars, you can say that they are the dogs of the Evren family."

Robin furrowed his eyebrows, a mere Baron would not dare to play such a game on an ordinary Marcos family, let alone a family as important and mighty as the Burtons now, 

after a few seconds, he started to move forward again and asked, "The Duchy of Evren… they are the border duchy with Dolivar, right? We need to pass through their lands every time we enter or exit our new lands… What is our current relationship with them?"

Mila shrugged, "Not so bad really, we don't have the best of relations but at least there is no hostility on the surface… They attend all the auctions we are holding and win a few talismans every month, 

though every now and then there are squabbles at the frontier with our new lands when the wagons loaded with the classified weapons or battalions of our armies try to get in or out from there, no deaths we involved but they are just not flexible at all…

Just three months ago, they seized a wagon full of classified weapons and kept it with them for a whole week with ridiculous excuses before returning it to us after some pressure from Patriarch Brian, even my uncle Edward had to intervene in this and threaten to involve the Bradleys in the situation… 

And currently, they restrict the passage of our classified weapon wagons from their lands to once a month for *security reasons*, we currently have to collect all our work in the factories over the course of the month and send it in one big caravan made up of several wagons."

Robin's features turned upside down, that was totally unexpected… Robin was angry that the two techniques he worked hard to make had gone missing, but he wasn't worried.

Even if the two techniques fell into the wrong hands, there is no problem really, even if they have ways to strengthen and replenish the soul, so what? what will they do with those souls?

The actual problem comes after the two techniques fell into the hands of one of the forces, an inevitable question would arise: *What do we do with those souls after they are strengthened?* 

Whoever that will have those two techniques will enviably make the connection with the Burtons asking to hire cultivators with strong souls… why would the Burtons gather those special cultivators and even empower them more? to make something special…

And what do the Burtons do have and can be called *special* that others don't? talismans… 

The whole process won't be a mystery anymore if that force who takes the two techniques has any smart person he would start questioning the *old man in the mountain* myth and look at the Burtons themselves more…

…and this is what Robin feared most, that this organization would try to penetrate their ranks and try to find out more than they should.

And this is what is happening now, it is clear that the Duchy of Evren has begun to seek answers to the new questions that began to arise… There is no longer any doubt that they were the ones who took the two techniques.

And without room for any doubt…. This won't be the last time he will hear Evren's name with something he doesn't like.
