Chapter Seventy-One: Friend or Foe

When he sent Agnes and Simon out of the castle gates, Duke was secretly relieved that he could finally send these two strange flowers from far and wide out of his field of vision.

"So, Your Highness, what is your next itinerary? ”

Vlavic, who was mainly responsible for following the affairs of Agnes's visit, finally asked more out of a responsible attitude.

After asking a question in the banquet just now, I don't know where the topic is, as the main person in charge, he still doesn't have much confidence in his heart to receive such a saint who has escaped.

Agnes was slightly stunned, touching her chin as if she had just begun to think about it.

In the end, she simply scratched her head, and said indifferently: "You can arrange a place for me to live first, not in the castle, I want to live near the city, and from time to time I have to go outside to see the people's feelings." ”

She looked at Duke with her arms crossed, and snorted through her nose: "If I find out that your lord is inactive, I will directly send a report letter to your emperor, so that you can't even be a poor duke." ”

Duke is completely true about this, and His Majesty the Emperor probably won't mess around with this saint who lacks a string in her brain.

Second, he thinks that he is still very generous in dealing with the people, definitely better than most of the leaders, and he is trying to do better.

So he just smiled kindly at Agnes, completely inappropriate for her provocation.

Without seeing the expected panic in Duke's eyes, Agnes waved her hand a little frustratedly, signaling that Duke didn't have to send it again, and just arranged a place for her to live.

"Ahem, Your Highness, I think you seem to have forgotten something. Old man Simon saw that Agnes turned his head to leave, and had to cough lightly to remind him.

But seeing the confused expression on her face, he still gave up struggling and said directly: "For example, the loyal guards who swear to follow your pace all the time." ”

"Oh! they!" Agnes clenched his right fist into the palm of his left hand, and said with a sudden realization: "Don't you say that I almost forgot! When the Holy Maiden was suffering outside, they fell down in the church to enjoy the blessings, and let them experience the feelings of the Holy Maiden. ”

The clergy who can be assigned to this cargo as a guard are all marginal people who have been excluded from the Church of Light, right?

Duke watched a little speechlessly as Agnes arranged the future of his men's stationing, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a bad fate for such a boss.

Once Vlavich and Agnes had confirmed everything, Duke asked one of the guards to show them the way to the largest hotel in the city.

As for why it wasn't accompanied by the minister himself, it was also Agnes herself, saying that it was to prevent Duke from using his status to oppress the people around him from telling the truth and affecting the results of her subsequent investigation.

Duke was able to go with her, and after bidding them farewell, he returned to the castle hall with his three vassals to discuss his next steps.

With the work of the maids and handymen, the castle hall, which had been bustling with activity a moment ago, was renovated, and the tableware, tables and chairs were taken away and turned into a large conference hall for special use.

As for the maids and handymen, of course, they were hired on a temporary basis to fill the scene, and Duke felt that spending money on this was still painful.

"What do you think is the purpose of this holy woman, friend or foe?" asked Duke with some impatience when he saw that the three servants had finished sitting separately.

Agnes, the crazy woman, punched him down in a random way, which really made him a little confused, and he couldn't understand what her real purpose was.

The Church of Light definitely didn't choose a saintess according to who was mentally abnormal, and the saintess who behaved like this didn't match the rumors he heard, so he felt confused for a while.

Lenia looked at the other two colleagues and saw that they were still contemplating, so she spoke up, "I don't think they have any ill intentions, at least not our enemies. ”

"Well, go on. ”

"Lord, in fact, Sir Simon alone, if he wants to be unfavorable to us, it is estimated that the people of our entire northern fortress will not be able to stop us, if such a person wants to target us, there is no need to act like this at all, after all, the difference in strength is really a bit huge. ”

Duke nodded slightly after listening to Lenia's explanation, which is why he is willing to spend so much time catering to Agnes and Simon.

Old man Simon can see that he is powerful, even if he is separated from a few seats, he can faintly feel the sense of oppression on his body, and this is just the momentum he inadvertently released.

Coupled with an equally mysterious Agnes, as a saint of the Church of Light, she has true strength that even the system can't detect.

Combined, these two people do have the capital to directly lift the northern fortress completely.

As for the army under his command and the dozens of newly made guns from the anvil, it is estimated that it is not enough for them to fight with one hand, after all, they are all in their infancy, and their power has not yet developed to the peak.

The other two ministers all spoke out in response to Lenya's point of view, and Vlavich also spoke out that Her Highness was sincere and straightforward, not like a bad person, and there was a faint anxiety.

Duke accepted the views of several ministers and decided to wait and see what happened for the time being, and not to provoke Her Highness the Holy Maiden, who was preparing to conduct a grassroots investigation.

As for sincerity and straightforwardness, Duke felt that it was better to reveal his nature. And the anxiety is completely unrealized, for example, her main task is to determine the news of the erosion and seal it, but now there is still leisure to run over to eat big households plus extortion, and it is impossible to see that she is going out on business.

"Okay, I'll tell the anvil that after the firing of this batch of cement, the workshop will stop for a while, and the magic stones on the other side of the mine will be stored on the spot first, and they will not be transported back to the city for the time being. Be careful not to be touched by the hapless saint over there. ”

Duke rubbed his forehead and commanded, the current Agnes belongs to uncontrollable factors, there is no means that can be restrained, and he likes to shake around, and his key strength is still strong and scary.

If she took Old Man Simon to the cement burning workshop and the factory for manufacturing new weapons on a whim, or went directly to the energy supply magic stone mine, then Duke's hole cards would basically be exposed, and Duke would almost have to turn against most of the forces in this world.

It's exciting just thinking about it!

Thinking of such a beautiful scene, Duke reached out again and rubbed his swollen head.
