The once formidable and majestic commander was now lying on the ground covered in dirt, and he knew Loria was coming, but he did not move.

Loria was not in a hurry, she sat down in the chair that Mills had prepared for her in advance, and after playing with her hair for a while, she simply read the book by the faint light of the fire...... Are vampires really not short-sighted?

This is a novel she found from the library that even the cover is damaged, and the plot is not new, but the author spends nearly half of the page attacking the shortcomings of human society...... It's terrible as a novel, but it's valuable as a historical material for understanding the pre-collapse of human society.

"You're so distressed, you don't know what to do with me. ”

Renault still stood on the ground, calmly...... The numb voice whispered, and he laughed dryly, "I'm a big problem." ”

"Although I don't like the way you are now. Loria casually tossed the book onto a worn-out coffee table, "But you can finally talk to your senses." ”

"You've got a lot of secrets. Renault seemed to have an interest in talking, and the long solitary imprisonment had made him a little more normal, and he also realized how many secrets Loria was hiding, and he didn't ask Whitemayne about his whereabouts, but just said to himself, "You can't kill me, many people will be afraid of you...... You're going to be no different from me, you can't let me go, you can't give an account to the people who support you. ”

Thinking of Loria's troubles, he seemed to be very happy, and even his tone became softer, "You can't keep imprisoning me, those who oppose you will use me to attack you, and those who support you will be disappointed in you." ”

Loria nodded, what he said did have a point, and imprisoning him in the convent was always a huge threat, those who opposed her would always find Renault as those who opposed Renault found her, even if she hid Renault forever, he could exert immeasurable influence.

The position of the commander is not easy to sit in, and even if Renault is defeated in public, her prestige is not enough to intimidate everyone...... In particular, the means by which she ascended to power was a coup d'état no matter how you look at it. If it weren't for her last name, she would have been gone long ago.

As for the option of killing Renault, she didn't have much resentment towards him, and she didn't want to risk challenging the crusaders' moral bottom line. Although the crusaders may not have many bottom lines - but in human society, killing relatives has always been unethical, and no matter how high-sounding the reason may be, it can be considered cold-blooded and ruthless...... She was determined to create a lovable image for herself.

As a leader, people can be loved or feared. You always have to pick one.

"What should I do with you?" Loria muttered to herself with her legs bent and her face propped up, but she couldn't see how distressed she was, and after a while, as if she had an idea, she suddenly got up and asked, "Uncle, do you like the sea?"

Renault looked at her in a daze and didn't answer, and Loria didn't wait for his answer and left alone.

……

The impetuosity that overflowed the monastery gradually subsided, and the people began to get used to following the new commander, and she certainly couldn't make everyone like her, but most people wouldn't be directly against her—three months was enough for people to develop a new habit. For example, it is a little girl who is used to sitting high in the chapel.

Loria gradually got used to how to deal with a lot of trivial matters, and with just a few seconds of scanning the reports, she was able to roughly divide them into areas that needed to be handled urgently, could be handed over to others, or simply ignored, and she squeezed out some personal time and even did a small handiwork.

"Look, buckle it up like this. She fastened the strap, and Chestnut had a heavy metal hand, "Press here when you want to untie it." ”

Loria didn't do well, there were only two buttons on the prosthetic to control the gripping and gripping movements, but Chestnut was still happy. Her expression of affection made Ragnes, who was standing on the sidelines, pout.

Touching the poor little girl's head, Loria turned to her intelligence director, "There are two things for you. ”

Ragnis, who was leaning against the corner, nodded slightly, he was not dissatisfied with Loria. Just habitually standing in a less conspicuous place.

"How many Kul Tiras are there among us?"

"I didn't pay attention to it, but I think there will always be dozens of people. ”

"Go find them, make a separate team of all of them who have seafaring experience, and bring them to Kana. ”

Ragnes nodded to indicate that he understood, and Loria was not annoyed by his coldness, the person was already silent. Won't speak unless necessary...... Ragnes, on the other hand, was guessing Loria's intentions, and he noticed that the suddenly active father had not appeared for a long time, and that he had disappeared with several powerful knights that Loria trusted very much...... Is there any connection between this, does he need to clean up the mess for the immature commander?

"As for one other thing. Loria patted Chestnut's head and said, "I want you to give her a job and teach her something...... She only talks to me and doesn't want to go outside, which is not good for her. ”

In addition to looking at Loria pitifully all day long, Chestnut was afraid of the outside world.

Ragnes turned his gaze between the two of them a few times, trying to find out if Loria had a hidden purpose, and after a little consideration, he nodded in agreement.

He walked silently against the wall, and as a spy and assassin, Loria respected his habit of not being noticeable in any case, and when she left Loria's office, he leaned in the shade of a tree and closed her eyes, and it was a long time before the girl entrusted to him came out in shock.

She soon saw him, and then looked wary and disgusted...... Ragnes thought to herself that she was quite observant, and perhaps had some talent, but it was a pity that she was missing a hand...... This is disadvantageous for a person who aspires to be a stalker in the dark.

Ragnes figured himself out and walked forward unhurriedly, and Chestnut kept his distance behind him.

He made a few detours, through a hidden path, to the armory, where he and his organization lived, and on the surface, they were just a group of ordinary soldiers managing ordnance.

He did not greet the Commander's throw, and he stopped from time to time to allow the latter to find him, who was walking like a ghost, and the two of them walked silently through the armory.

Before he knew it, Chestnut found himself in a hidden corridor, unable to remember the way he had come, and suddenly, Ragnes stopped, stood motionless for a long time, and walked back for the first time.

He didn't even look up at the chestnut who hurriedly distanced himself from him, and out of nowhere he took out a key and opened a dark room.

Chestnut watched from afar as Ragnes rummaged through the crates inside, and then came out and handed her a short sword made of black steel—perhaps a long dagger.

"Take it. Ragnaris shoved the weapon into the arms of the girl who wanted to escape, then turned around and moved on, "It's called Thirillas, take care of it." (To be continued.) )
