[Location: Tino City · City Lord's Mansion]
Marquis York leaned on his cane, feeling his gloomy mood lighten a bit over the past few days.
Lately, he suddenly felt as if he might be getting old.
First, his trusted aides became excessively greedy, almost causing an explosive disaster.
Then, the number of magical beasts lurking in the sewers skyrocketed, which also involved trouble on the prairie.
He started to wonder if he had indulged too much in the pleasures of succubi and foxmen, making his work increasingly overwhelming.
Fortunately, these issues were discovered early.
If the hidden dangers had burst out, that would have been the biggest disaster.
However, it wasn't without benefits.
The Dragonbone Prairie is the largest meat-producing area in all of Tino City.
These years, it seems the farm owners on the prairie have some crooked ideas, having attempted to manipulate the meat market of the Imperial Capital four times in two consecutive years.
