Jarvis wanted to tear Archbishop Slan's throat right now, he still clearly remembered that Slan had sworn that Freya and Rafa were dead not long ago, but now these two people were all operating in their own territory, which made a mess of his plans, he came to the church to question Slan, but was told that Archbishop Slan was in retreat and did not see outsiders.

Due to the death of the previous archbishop of Slan, another archbishop is on trial for heresy with the Western Legion, and now that only one of Slan's archbishops is in Byron, and there is no guest yet, the enraged Jarvis comes to the emperor's palace and vents fiercely at the woman who replaced Mira as the puppet emperor.

But not long after he came out of the palace, the news of the Capet family's attack on Icefield City and the defeat followed, and Jarvis, who had just calmed down his anger, finally became hysterical, if nothing else, because there was his dear sister in Icefield City, he himself was reluctant to do it, and the Capet family dared to offend his biggest avoidance.

Even if they were defeated, Yalvis would have to give them some color, and it was clear that the Capetian family was using this move to test the limits of his patience, if one great nobleman could send troops unscrupulously, then the rest of the nobles would be ready to move, and by that time, Byron's situation would be precarious.

Jarvis stood in the main hall of the palace, the audience was almost full of relatives and ministers, he subconsciously looked back at the empty behind, and couldn't help but be a little worried, not long ago, the witch who gave him advice suddenly disappeared, which is also the reason why he decided not to send troops to the country of Dongyun, he didn't have that kind of courage, but being in a high position can indeed shape a person, and after staying in this position for so long, even if he doesn't understand the situation, he can now see clearly who is Byron's biggest enemy at the moment.

"Who wants to go to the Capet family?" Jarvis grimaced, leaning back in his soft gilt chair.

The relatives looked at each other for a while, no one was willing to stand up, and finally it was his father, Grand Duke Hyperion, who stood up, "Yar, not long ago, the Eastern Legion was defeated in Jinlang City, and many of them mutinied, and the Western Legion is also crusading against heretics in the west, and there are really no extra troops to crusade against one side of the strongest. ”

Jarvis became more and more disgusted with his father, not only found himself a few new mothers, but also used his status as regent to make a lot of money, making Byron and the surrounding cities panic, and the number of merchants decreased sharply.

"Father, I propose to take one-fifth of the family's fortune as the military expenses for this expedition, so that some soldiers and horses can be quickly gathered. ”

"No, no, no! How can Hyperion's wealth be used for military expenses? Now that you are the regent, you can just control the treasury?"

"But most of the treasury went into the family's pockets. Jarvis suppressed his anger.

"Uh... Well, the family pays a tenth of the money, and the rest of the money is made up by raising taxes? Anyway, you are now the regent. ”

Jarvis really didn't know how his father got to the position of chancellor of the exchequer in the previous dynasty, so he said fiercely, "Father, the current tax is high enough, and if it is too high, I am afraid it will provoke a civil uprising." ”

"Isn't it enough to suppress it? First arrest the guy who led the rebellion, cut off his limbs and skin them, and the rest of the people will naturally disperse," said Grand Duke Hyperion, speaking very lightly.

"But now it's the Capetian family who is leading the rebellion. ”

"That's your business, you're the regent anyway, as long as you don't touch the family's property, you can do whatever you want. Archduke Hyperion turned to look at the ministers around him, his eyes full of pride, as if to show off

It was even possible to refute the regent.

"Hehehe....." Jarvis laughed angrily, and then said coldly, "Father, don't forget, now I am the head of the family. ”

"Yar, what are you going to do!?" Seeing the knights rushing around the palace, Archduke Hyperion couldn't believe that his son dared to do something to him.

Jarvis, of course, would not have killed his father in front of so many people, and he had the knights gagged the Grand Duke of Hyperion, and then brought him home under house arrest.

"I just received the news that the Western Legion has returned victoriously, and it will arrive in Byron in seven days, and the strength to crusade against the Capetian family is there, who is willing to lead the troops to fight now?" After Archduke Hyperion left, Arvis was in a much better mood.

The following answer is also very funny, whether it is in charge of government affairs or the army, they all rush to say that they are going to go to war, which makes Yalvis's slightly better mood become gloomy again, it seems that his subordinates are a bunch of wall grass, and there is no talent available at all.

"If His Royal Highness the Regent has a hard time deciding, why don't you leave it to me?"

The ministers were clamoring and shouting, and a pleasant voice came from the door of the hall, and everyone fell silent and bowed slightly towards the door.

"Slan?" Seeing Archbishop Slan holding a book, Yarvis frowned slightly.

Slan smiled and bowed slightly at the ministers, as if he had completely forgotten what he had said to Jarvis that Freya and Rafa were dead.

"Your Excellency, although the Capetian family is rebellious, it is not a heretic, so I will not bother you. Jarvis stood up and gave a perfunctory salute, then sat down again.

"Hehehe, how can it be?" In the center of the Slan Hall, the smile on his face was still the same, which made Jarvis not good at speaking ill of him, "The meaning of the church's talent is to maintain the stability of the imperial power, and some people who dare to violate Byron's authority are not all heretics?"

Yalvis sneered in his heart, if this is the case, why don't you kill Freya and Rafa, you will only say some empty words here, but he thought about it carefully, if Count Capet is designated as a heretic, according to the influence of the church, there may be some turmoil in his territory, then it will be much easier to attack him again, so he took over and said, "What His Excellency the Archbishop said is reasonable, then ask His Excellency the Archbishop to issue a heresy inquisition, condemn Count Capet as a heretic, and let him be tried in Byron, how about it?"

"I'm glad to do it, but Count Capet won't be easily captured, so I'd like to ask Lord Regent to prepare his army, and I'll go to Capet City myself." ”

"That's very good. "Jarvis doesn't understand why Slan has to lead his troops to the battle, but he doesn't trust his relatives too much, so he might as well leave it to him, he has the Book of Witches in his hand, and it shouldn't be difficult to take Cape.

After making a decision, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became cheerful, but the funny thing is that they said that they would defend the imperial power, but in the entire Byron City, there was no one from the Hevian family.

Just when Aura was surging, Shinonome was very calm in the country, and all production activities were only carried out in an orderly manner, although it was nominally split from Ola, but all commerce and trade were still carried out normally, because Freya and Jarvis were indispensable to draw taxes from commerce, which was a huge tax.

Thanks to the "Nightmare" Carly's control of these city lords, Shinonome is very stable, and Freya, who is a witch, rarely shows up, and even if she does, she wears a wig, so ordinary people are not sensitive to her status as a witch, plus Byron has admitted the existence of Shinonome, which makes a large number of speculative businessmen come to Shinonome Province, where taxes are lower than Ora, and Freya's treasury begins to fill up.

I was ready to give up everything

After Freya got the blueprints of some firearms given to her by Rafa, an inexplicable confidence rose in her heart, and she began to secretly gather witches, and began to develop her own industry according to the drawings, which is why Rafa couldn't summon witches.

Benefiting from the rich tax revenues of the trading city, the witches have made rapid progress, and have now built several blast furnaces according to the blueprints, and have begun to produce high-quality molten iron.

However, they don't have a witch like Lilith who can cut steel directly, so they have to make a steam engine first, then a stamping machine and a forging press, and finally make the parts needed for the gun, which is much slower than Icefield City, but it is foreseeable that when this production system is fully formed, it will burst out no less vigorously than Icefield City.

"What the hell did Rafa write about? millimeters, bearings, gears, boring cutters...... I don't know any of ......."

Lying on the chaise longue on the balcony of the castle, the frantic Freya wanted to tear up the dense drawings drawn by Rafa, she knew all these words, but she didn't know what he was talking about, because they didn't know these things, they encountered great difficulties in the early creation of machine tools and steam engines, and in the end they were created by Freya's memory of the steam engine in Icefield City, and now there are so many strange things, it is impossible to copy them by memory alone.

"Brother Yun is a smart person, I really don't know how he came up with these things. Seeing that her sister was worried, Mira walked behind her back and kneaded her shoulder.

"He's not here now, why do you call him Brother Yun?" Freya also learned about his secret through Mira.

"But he's not Rafa. Mira argued.

"Strange little girl," Freya smiled and pressed her hand, the renewed affection made her feel very relaxed, because she at least had something worth protecting, which was also the meaning of her persistence in this continent, otherwise she would have taken the witches out to sea to find the magic continent in the mouth of the demon witch, "No, I have to ask Tina to go to Rafa to explain these things clearly, and then ask for some other drawings." ”

"Why didn't you stay in Icefield City in the first place, Sister Frey, in that case, the three of us can meet at any time, and you don't have to worry about these drawings every day. ”

"Because I'm a very strange person," Freya closed her eyes and enjoyed Mira's massage, "I like to enjoy a comfortable life, but I don't want to be under the fence, and besides, it is easy to stay in Icefield City, but I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it if I see the three of them there every day." ”

"Three?" said Mira, stunned.

"That's right, Rafa, Felihill, and Audrey, if I'm still in Icefield, I'm afraid I'll have to add me. Freya was very honest and told the picture that came to her mind.

"Brother Yun...... Is it so amorous?"

"On the contrary," Freya said thoughtfully, opening her eyes, "he seems to be a person without **, he is very good to all women, and the way he looks at women is always appreciative, not **." ”

"It seems to be so...... Mira recalls her and Rafa's previous days in Byron, facing her thinly dressed self, Rafa did not make any hairy movements, and her eyes were as pure as a calm lake.

"To be honest, his reserved appearance made a big sister like me a little uncontrollable, and staying by his side, I always fantasized about pushing him to the ground and ravaging him. ”
