"Of course!"

Yarman grinned, "This is the most interesting thing I've ever seen, as a king, he is able to maintain the continuation of his holy power, and he can be so powerful... This shows that he has a will that ordinary people cannot have, and that his iron will may affect the whole country. ”

"A king cannot lead his country to glory without an iron will, and the glory of the present Kingdom of Krulia is brought by the iron will of His Majesty. ”

"Maybe... There are people who like such a king, but there are even more people who don't like him, and even the nobles of this country hate him like a devil, not to mention others. ”

"I remember you said before that capable people are the most envied and hated. Hanina stared at Yarman, as if she was afraid that the other party would suddenly disappear, "I need to know your intelligence sources, and what is the so-called 'Void Power' in your mouth?"

"You don't have to be so positive, the more you show your loyalty in this matter, the more your king will doubt you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You should be able to see what I mean. ”

The conversation between the two was as fast and direct as a drama actor's snatching of the truth, but in an instant their conversation came to an abrupt end, making the reception room suddenly very quiet.

Yarman still stood by the window and looked out at the sky, at the city's many buildings.

Hannina lowered her head, thinking about the warning that Yarman had just given her.

Five or six minutes later, Hanina, who had been quiet, put her hand into the leather bag on the police uniform, took out a small iron bottle and skillfully opened the seal, when a strong smell of medicine just spread, she decisively tilted her head and drank the medicine in the iron bottle.

"Your headache cannot be cured by medicine, they can only relieve pain at most, only when you figure it out for yourself, your disease will be cured, and your holy power will return to its previous state. Yarman asked, then glanced at Hanina and warned, "Although your condition is much better than before, it is still not optimistic, you should listen to my advice..."

"I don't need anyone's advice. Hanina interrupted Yarman, looked at the other party seriously, and said, "What do you want to do in Crewe City?"

"Expeditions need money, and if Peddy Reagan is willing to pay me something, I can do something for him. ”

"How much do you want?"

"You can't afford to pay it, but your king can. ”

"And what can you do?"

The conversation between the two abruptly stopped here, but this time Yarman didn't let the silence last long, he deliberately walked back to the middle of the meeting room with very heavy steps, looked at Hannina who was leaning on the sofa and said, "You go and tell Pedy Reagan that I have a way to control the logistics of the Suk Plains, and if he needs my help, I will be glad." ”

...

The last few days have been particularly busy in the last few days, whether it is the king who rules everything, or the lowest-ranking castle servant, they are so busy that they can't divide themselves into two.

At the end of the daily meeting in the King's Office, Pedi dismissed the office staff as usual, summoning Danmen Green of the MI and Herman, the head of the castle, for their daily reports.

Today's report is still disappointing, the 'Seke-Mara case' has been secretly investigating little progress, and the Harrence provincial smuggling case has no clue.

"The specific mastermind behind the assassination of Seke-Marat is now unknown. Danmen-Green stared at the pressure and said, "Unless our agents get more clearances, such as... A number of people were arrested for interrogation. ”

"Although the nobles of the entire kingdom now know that I am investigating the Seke-Marat case, there are some things that can only be known to you and me secretly. Pedi looked at the case files of the recent investigation and said, "If this is a simple matter, it is not your turn to do it. ”

While the praise from the king's peculiar pleasure made Danmen Green's heart happy, an invisible pressure followed.

"How are you doing over there?" said Pedy, who was clearly asking Herman, the castle governor, as he flipped through the documents he had in his hand, which were densely packed with the recent behavior of some people.

"Nothing unexpected. Herman shook his head slightly.

"Yes. Pei Di nodded expressionlessly, quickly checked the documents that were almost the same every day, and whispered: "Looking at these documents you gave me, after looking at them for a long time, I even think that maybe the kingdom is really as harmonious as recorded in the documents." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Look at what you have recorded, all the nobles are working hard for this country, and the government officials are so incorruptible that they don't even have a hair to be greedy for ink. ”

"Your Majesty. Hearing the king's self-deprecation, Herman hurriedly said: "The people on the watch list are as small as a speck of dust in the starry sky to the entire kingdom's nobles and officials system, and there are more officials and nobles who have always been on your side. ”

Although Herman's words were true, he felt an inexplicable irony in Pedy's ears, and he waved his hand impatiently, "Your Herman's comforting words always sound awkward. He quickly flipped through today's report and subconsciously activated the soundproofing magic in the office.

"I'm going to stop the investigation into the 'Saike-Mara case' first, and... Those exposed spies are useless, so don't let them continue to lose people in Crewe City, and send them all to the front line to participate in the war of the Elluk Leader against the undead army. Pedi quickly closed the file as he spoke, and looked up and down at the two men at his desk.

The king's words caused the two of them to feel as if the temperature in the room had plummeted, and a chill rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Mission failed?

This was the knee-jerk reaction of the two of them.

Come to think of it, the mission has indeed failed, and who in the Kingdom does not know that the two of them are investigating the 'Saike-Marat assassination case' again? What they are doing now is like a joke of the clowns on the stage, and His Majesty the King, who is in charge of it all...

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. Chief Herman first bowed his head and apologized, followed by Danmen Green, who was next to him, also bowed his head silently.

"They like to see my jokes, so let them laugh as much as they want. Pei Di shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said with a chuckle: "It's like on the battlefield, when we take the initiative to attack and have no effect, we have to change the method." He lightly tapped his finger on the closed document, "Since the attack is useless for the time being, we will defend, I believe that with the strength in our hands, it shouldn't be much of a problem to defend against this attack, right?"

Danmen-Green and Herman were so surprised by the King's words that they didn't react at the first time.

"Recently my nephew lived in the castle and I found something very interesting when I was playing with him. Paddy pointed to the two chairs in front of his desk and motioned for them to sit down, and said, "Little Benny likes to eat cereal, but the child doesn't know how to eat it too much, so he eats it every time, so his mother forbids him to touch the cereal candy again..."

"Hehe!" said Peddy involuntarily chuckling and took out a cigar and divided it between the two, "When Madame Marne stared at little Benny, the little guy wouldn't even look at the cereal, but as long as Madame Marne was not careful, little Benny would always steal it in various ways. ”

After the short story, the smile on Pedy's face disappeared immediately, and he looked at the two of them as he bit his cigar and asked, "You... Got it?"

"Understood!" Herman regained his usual composure.

"I'll go down and arrange it right away. "Danmen Green is used to putting it into action.

As they spoke, the two of them stood up from the chairs they had just sat down, and took two steps back in succession, saluting as they attempted to leave.

Pedi didn't stop them from leaving, and the smile on his face lasted until the two of them exited the room. When he was the only one left in the office, he took a few deep breaths to relax, and the majesty that had been maintained on his face was gone, replaced by exhaustion and sleepiness.

"You don't have to make yourself so tired. After a ripple flickered in the space around Pedy, Erinphier's figure appeared, and she frowned at her husband's tired appearance, and whispered, "You should leave some things to the ministers to do, as you did before." ”

Pedi smiled wryly and shook his head, the longer he sat on the throne, the fewer people he trusted. I don't know when he started to doubt everything.

"Can you trust the two of them?" said Pedy, putting her feet on the desk, allowing herself to lean back in her chair as comfortably as possible.

"From the perception of magic to their mood swings, they should be able to trust. Erin Phil twitched her fingers to remove the 'soundproofing magic' that Pedi had just activated, "But it's only theoretically that they can be trusted, and it's easy for someone like them to control their emotions." ”

"So I gave it to the two of them, not to one person. Pedi continued to take deep breaths to relieve his exhaustion.

Erin Phier walked up to her husband, gently rubbed the stiff muscles of his shoulder, and said, "You let them watch each other, will this get in the way of what you are going to do?"

"Do you have a better solution?" Peddy smiled wryly, "Besides, I'm sure they won't do it, because the two of them are smarter than anyone else, and most importantly... They have all the power from me. ”

Eileen responded to her husband's words with silence, and she had a hunch... The days of peace on your own are coming to an end.

"The rest of the matter, you need to come forward," Pei Di turned his head to look at his wife, "for the sake of this country, and for our own sake, there must be no problems in this matter." ”

"I'll take care of it. Erin Phiel said with great certainty: "When you are fighting on the front line, there will be no unrest in the rear of the kingdom. ”

"Sira Marne will stay behind to help you, and Baron Hanina, and if necessary, you can go to Omiqi, the goblin engineer has a formidable force in Crewe, but he is more low-key than anyone else. ”

"I understand. Eileen replied in a low voice.

"If the war goes well, I'll be back in six months, and if it doesn't, maybe years...", Pedi continued in the same low voice, "I'll try to end it as soon as I can." ”

Erin Phier bit her lip and didn't continue to speak.

The knock on the door suddenly echoed in the room, interrupting the conversation between the two, and Erin Feier frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the door, and the magic circle in her hand was formed in an instant, and the person had already teleported away.

Pedi also retracted his foot on the desk and pressed the red button on the right-hand side.

Entering the room, of course, was the office secretary, Knight Otwood, who was accustomed to gently pushing open the door and closing them gently.

"What's the matter?" asked Pedy, cheering up.

"Baron Hanina asks to see you. ”

"Hannina?" Pedi thought of the agent's report an hour ago, "I hope she doesn't bring bad news." He subconsciously whispered a word and then ordered: "Let her come in, and by the way, two cups of tea." ”

As Altwood was leaving, Pedi quickly put away the papers on his desk and locked them in a drawer, picked up the cigar from the ashtray and walked to the window and pushed the tightly closed window, the cold wind of early winter poured into the office in an instant, blowing the candles in the room back and forth.

Dressed in indoor clothes, Pedi shivered coldly, looked up at the sun hiding in the thick clouds in the sky, listened to the heavy footsteps of Hannina entering the office, and said, "Winter is coming really fast. ”

"People always miss summer when it's cold in winter and winter when it's hot. As Hanina's voice rang out, the officials in the office walked in with her, as usual.

Pedi turned around and glanced at Hannina, who answered, then looked at Otwood and said, "Today I want to be alone and quiet, let them all go back to rest." He laughed and made a joke: "If they don't let them go back, their wives will probably have to go to the police station to report the crime." ”

The office staff attendant exited the room in thanks, and Pedi watched them leave with a smile on his face, and when the office door closed again, he invited Hanina to sit down.

"It's less than two hours before the end of the regular meeting, what's going on?" Pedi leaned against the window and let the cold wind blow on him, quietly listening to the sound of musket volleys on the training ground in the distance.

"Something is happening. Although Hanina had thought of what to say before she came, she didn't know how to say it when she actually faced the king, and she said in a tone that was not very smooth: "After the meeting was over, Yarman, the former chairman of the 'Radiant Force', suddenly appeared at the police station, and I talked to him personally. ”

"Yarman. Pedi repeated the familiar and unfamiliar name, "Is this Yarman, who had the title of 'Emperor's Executioner' in the Old Empire?"
