Count Hall crossed his hands in front of him, his thumbs together and his thumbs together, and said with a serious expression: "You can understand the vicious traps hidden behind the words, and in order to prevent these traps from harming your brother, you must stand up and expose them." Therefore, you will become the kingdom's magic advisor, after all, you are both a saint and a mage. ”

"Consultant? It seems like I'm going to come across this position all the time. Feiqi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you bless me and Xia Ni's wedding, then I will gladly take this position." ”

"Do you think it's more important to be married to a commoner woman than to help your brother get through it?" Count Hall looked at Feige with displeasure in his tone. "As a man of the Hall family, you have a duty to marry other nobles for the benefit of the family, and a commoner is not worth wasting this opportunity. ”

"No, no, you should think differently. Feige still smiled. "No matter what happens, I'm definitely going to help Andrew and of course Landon and Sheila...... I'll help him through any difficulties that may arise, and settle enemies and troubles, but the position of Spell Advisor will cost me a lot of personal time and freedom, so I think I deserve a little compensation. As for marriage, I don't think there are problems in this world that need me to get married. First of all, the family is not so weak, and second, I have always opposed the idea of marriage as a hostage exchange. ”

"If it weren't for the marriage, would your brother be king?"

"If there is no marriage and Andrew wants to be king......" Feige snorted, smiling as he said something shocking, "Then I will help him become king, even if it is to fight his way to the throne from the mountain of corpses and blood." There are many aspects to testing a king, will, determination, ability, character, diligence, and justice, but there has never been a skill in finding a wife. ”

"You're thinking too simply. ”

"You're thinking too complicated. Feige said: "Father, not everything will be carried out according to your ideas, and going with the flow will often lead to unexpected gains. You didn't think I'd be a saint, did you?"

Earl Hall's face turned red, and he forced out a "Indeed". He turned his gaze to Langdon, presumably calculating the possibility of letting Langdon take over the responsibility of the marriage. Feige patted Langdon on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Do you have a girlfriend now? ”

"Yes, Feige doesn't want to, then you, there's nothing wrong with age anyway. Earl Hall then said to Feige, "Well, if your mother agrees, then I won't say anything more." It's just a pity for you, the second daughter of the Marquis of Missis is a recognized beauty, gentle and dignified and very virtuous. ”

"Huh. Feige was noncommittal. However, he clearly felt that Landon Hall was a little excited, his breathing and heartbeat were slightly faster, and it seemed that the "recognition" also included the "certification" of this younger brother. In other words, Langdon must have met the girl, right? Maybe the Earl arranged for Langdon to marry in the first place, and went around with him just to make a quid pro quo and then gladly go to the position of a spell advisor?

"What do spell advisors do on a daily basis? Are there already bad signs, or are there enemies popping up?"

"Not really. The Count shook his head: "I'm just doing this as a precaution, and it will be easier to get in and out of the castle after giving you this title, after all, it is one of the twelve people in the king's inner court." Usually, except for the people of the inner court, everyone else needs to be requested or summoned to enter the palace. ”

"Who are the other ten people in the inner court?"

"The other ten? No, I'm not in the inner court. Earl Hall's answer surprised Feige a little. "It's not the best choice to go in and out of the palace every day, and if you manage the family territory well, the three of you will have a stronger backing. Andrew, the king is just a hat, just because you wear it on your head doesn't mean you're strong enough. ”

Feige nodded. That's not a bad thing to say. The source of the king's power was never the jewel-encrusted circle on top of his head, whether it was made of gold, white gold, or pure gold. Judging by the current situation, Andrew's ability to control the entire capital is not even enough to cover the entire capital, let alone further afield.

"What is the current state of the Noble Council, are they hindering?"

"Not really. If it had been the Noble Confederation that was causing trouble, then it would have long since become necessary. Earl Hall looked at Feige approvingly, and said, "You've started to be on your toes? At the level of the nobility, at least on the surface, there are not too many problems, since the benefits have just been distributed. Andrew has been able to govern the country through the inner court, but he has always felt that it has achieved little. So I want you to help Andrew stabilize the inner court, and I'll go back to the territory to see what happens. Aria is not alone in fighting on the front lines all day, but we must not repeat Aria's mistakes. ”

Aria's problem was that he was so aggressive that even the nobles, let alone the common people, could not afford to be compensated for new territories and booty. The standard of living in the whole country has fallen again and again, which is why almost no one will miss Aria after his death.

Feige had a lot of ideas to say at the inner court, and now he needed to listen to the count's father about the court. There were seven members of the Noble Council in the Inner Court, all of whom held the position of "Adviser to the King". The remaining five were the Treasury, Construction, Intelligence, Law, and Magic Advisors, who were not necessarily from the Noble Confederation, and whose abilities and qualifications had to be assessed.

Of the five "Orientation Advisors", the Spell Advisor is the most important one, mainly because the person in this position has to communicate and coordinate with the Goddess Church, which has long permeated all aspects of life in the kingdom. According to his father's introduction, the most favorable contender for this position was the bishop he had seen in the throne hall before, and even he himself thought that he was nine out of ten. However, Feige's title of "saint" shone brightly, and the title recognized by the goddess was more convincing than the name of the bishop chosen by the faithful. Coupled with the Earl's choice to withdraw from the Inner Court, Fitch would also be more popular with other members of the Inner Court from the point of view of political balance than a young and ambitious bishop.

It's just that this makes it trickier to deal with things with the church, and after all, Feige is just a goddess-certified fake pastor who doesn't have any influence in the church. Come to think of it, all the church personnel he knows don't have as many basic magic runes as combined!

Let's take a step at a time, maybe I'm worried that the other members of the inner court are powerful bosses, but in fact, other people think that they are even more powerful? There is no need for people to scare themselves, anyway, if it is about the ability to lift the table, the other eleven people in the king's inner court combined, are not Feiqi's opponents.

"If you don't make a decision, my task is to make trouble anyway. ”

When Earl Hall dragged his three sons to a meeting, only one person in the world could interfere with the event. The Countess herself came to disturb her, and dragged everyone to dinner with her. The Count's attempts to interrupt her were interrupted several times, and she finally had to take the lead towards the dining room. The Countess deliberately took a few steps behind to Fitch and spoke to him in a low voice.

"I saw it, it looks very exotic, and it's not nice to say. But I'm worried, what are your kids going to look like, are they going to have snake hair?"

"I don't know, but it's a possibility. Feige took the Countess's hand and comforted her, "I think it's better to like each other first of all, right? As for bloodline, take it one step at a time, and I know people who are very good at bloodline research, and even if they encounter problems, they can solve them. ”

"Is there such a person? Children's problems are very important, and you can't trust others. ”

"Liz, the high priest of the Fuzang female clan, she is the one who has received the blessing of the goddess herself, you can rest assured. Feiqi lowered his voice and said, "I have fought for it, as long as you agree, my father's side will not object." ”

"There's nothing he won't agree to when he hears you call him father instead of Lord Earl. Of course, don't say I'm telling you. The Countess made a gesture of silence, lowered her voice, and said, "I agree to the matter between you and Shanny! But you have to do more with this necklace, and it is awkward to only see the veil all day." ”

"I work hard, I come on. ”

In the palace, the servants were making their final preparations, and there were busy figures everywhere. Andrew asked to be as frugal as possible, so that more money could be left for rebuilding the kingdom and helping the poor, but some of the necessary ceremonial decorations could not be saved. As a result, gifts for the audience of the nobles from the kingdom were opened "in advance" and then placed throughout the castle according to the style. These are statues, tapestries, paintings, and ornate armor inlaid with precious stones. They moved into the warehouse a month ago and are expected to open two weeks ago. Although the enthronement ceremony has been postponed, there is no need to postpone their reappearance.

"When the enthronement ceremony is completed, there will be a little more chaos here, and then it will be relatively calm. Andrew's wife, who should have been a queen by blood, gave up the throne to her husband, and the current Queen Carol beckoned everyone to the table. "The seafood here in Tawu Port City is better, but my craftsmanship is not good, everyone forgive me. ”

"You made it yourself, it should be these fried fish, right?" Andrew looked at it carefully, and then said with great certainty: "That's right, it must be this, give me one first." ”

A young squire came over and, according to his duty, he would taste the food before the king. Originally, this work was to be done in the kitchen, but Carol brought the food herself after cooking, and no attendant dared to snatch anything from the queen's hands. Seeing the squire reach out, Feige grabbed him directly. "Excuse me, it's not much, I won't give it to you if I'm more picky. ”

He took a fried fish and threw it into his mouth, frowning as he chewed: "Too much salt, really." The fish itself is marinated, and then the batter on the outside is salted in it, right?"

"Really? I only remember putting it on once. Isn't it delicious? I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, anyway, Andrew is a paladin and has a tough body, so this bit of salt is nothing. Feige picked up the plate and poured most of the fish directly into the king's plate. "Hurry up, hurry up, or eat or toast. I didn't eat anything all the way over and was really hungry. ”

The attendant who was about to try the food just now frowned and said to Feiqi: "It is disrespectful to address His Majesty the King instead of directly by name." ”

"Well, you're right, but I'm not going to listen. Feige laughed, apparently entering the role of "I'm a thorn". However, he knew very well that this role was aimed at outsiders and would never happen inside his own home.

The dinner was just an ordinary home-cooked meal, mainly because everyone didn't know that Feige would arrive today, so they couldn't prepare it in advance. Queen Carroll suggested a formal banquet tomorrow, but Feige declined. "I just need to eat the banquet on the day of the enthronement ceremony, and there is no need to bother with it. By the way, why don't you have potatoes in your home cooking......? No, potato cultivation hasn't started on the part of the United Kingdom?"

"I have this will, after all, the grain production of Minas Ishil is improved by potatoes, so many immigrants have not eaten in it, and they have always been able to maintain their output, which I have always watched. "But there are still a lot of concerns about growing potatoes here, and people are still worried about the curse of underground plants. ”

"There is no curse. Feige said. "The earliest potatoes were tainted with some hellish vibes, which may have affected the people who planted them. However, this infernal aura has long since disappeared, and it has not been transmitted to other crops. I have long reported this to the church. ”

Andrew nodded, he knew about it, after all, he also wanted to be recognized by the church, so that the lighthouse could also grow potatoes. "But the church has not confirmed your claim, and I don't have enough manpower to perform the purification ceremony, so I was forbidden to plant. ”

"The church asked me to find evidence from the accounts to support the claim. But ......" Feiqi shook his head: "If there is a problem with the potatoes, you can know when you pick them up, this is happening at this moment." Do I have to look for the records of the past, to dig through the piles of old papers? Do I have to look through the books to prove that I am alive now?"

Sheila laughed, "Well said, brother, those books are nothing to see!"

"You still have to read more, you can't just ride a horse, right?" the countess looked at her only pearl in her palm dotingly, and said, "And you said that you want to win the championship of the horse riding competition, don't talk about this kind of nonsense in the future, you know?"

"What is there to ride a horse? You can study well and fly, and then you won't want to ride a horse." ”

"Really?" Mira winked mischievously, "But why did an attendant report to me just now that the donkey you rode when you came, which was originally placed at the foot of the mountain, has now been sent to the palace?

Feige snapped his fingers and sent Mira into the air and flew around the restaurant before returning to her seat. The little girl had no heart and no lungs, and her mother was so frightened that she complained that Feige was not good as an older brother. Only Andrew and Lord Earl were thinking about it.

If flying is so easy, there are many things to pay attention to, especially military.
