Now all hopes are pinned on the more flexible and covert "Holy Hand".
"Your Majesty, we have traced to the Mountain Domain. According to the information collected by our intelligence agents, there's a high possibility that the Mountain Lord is a Necromancer in disguise.
At the very least, his power is at the Sorcerer level. He also has an adult Earth Bear and commands a force of tens of thousands in the Mountain Domain. It would be nearly impossible to forcefully seize things from him .
Our agents are communicating with him, to see if we can buy it back, so far the communication is going well.
However, his asking price is too high, and our budget is limited. We currently cannot spare enough funds, what do you think..."
In order to increase the budget, Ulysses started making up lies without flinching.
However, compared to the previous performance of the Judgement Knights, everyone was too busy to argue about many things as the Holy Hand quickly advanced the matter to this stage.
