A country does not stop operating because of the demise of any family.

After the insult to the prime minister, I was summoned to a court meeting, and once again stood in the royal court, and I found that more than a dozen new faces had been replaced among the ministers on both sides.

These new faces were filled with tension and unease, but also with a lingering sense of joy.

They should indeed be happy, and if there is no insult to the prime minister, they may have no hope of becoming one of the high nobles until their deaths.

In addition to these newly promoted officials, other veteran officials still uphold the style of 'what was the original, what is still the same'.

Compared to their comfortable situation, the old duke and the chancellor Lesta looked much more serious, perhaps they wanted to show their majesty in front of their new colleagues.

The Orc King's expression was much more relaxed than before, and he looked at me with a bit of approval and a smile in his eyes.

Yes, how can you not be happy that I have pulled out a batch of nails that have been nailed to his heart by my business?

But you're happy, I'm not happy, my Kailan was not only almost taken advantage of, but also slapped in the face!

Although one of the perpetrators was sent to Castle Vechio as a weapon test subject, and the other was sent to Moonlight City to dedicate his life to the great cause of medicine, it was ...... What does it matter to me whether they live or die?

I just want a reward.

Also, don't think that I won't be rewarded because I have a lot of money!

At my glance, the orc king cleared his throat and made a long, boring opening remark, before turning to the point.

"Due to the dereliction of duty of the city guards, Prime Minister An Xiaoyi was insulted, and in order to appease his wounded heart, I decided to give Prime Minister An Xiaoyi a chance to make a request."

The Orc King raised his big hand slightly and said, "Say, Xiao Yi, what do you want?" ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Is it possible that any of the requests made could be met?" ”

The Orc King pondered for a second and said, "Except for my throne." ”

I waved my hand again and again: "You are too worried, such a noble position, you are still sitting in a wise and martial state, so that the wind and rain can be smooth in Dasai City, and the country and the people will be safe." ”

Quietly patted the sycophants, and the orc king was very comfortable to hear.

I continued: "Actually, my requirements are not high, I hope that the state will fund my fiancée Kailan to assist her in completing the commissioning of the equipment enhancement machine. ”

The Orc King and all the ministers present were surprised by my request.

Those ministers who know a lot about equipment enhancement machines naturally understand that my requirements are not high, no, not only not high, but simply too low.

The unsuspecting ministers looked at me blankly, wondering what the Equipment Enhancer was, but by name alone, they could almost guess that it was something to do with optimizing the performance of the equipment.

Something that can optimize the performance of equipment completely belongs to the category of rich countries and strong people, as long as this kind of thing is proposed to the orc king, he will definitely not refuse, so why waste such a great opportunity?

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the royal court, like a gathering of flies.

The orc king glanced at Prime Minister Lesta, who coughed heavily with a sharp gaze, and in an instant, the royal court returned to silence.

The old duke held his chin, thought for a moment, and said: "Xiao Yi, that equipment enhancement machine is conducive to the development of the adventurer's career in Dasai City, you can propose it at other times, and there is no need to waste Your Majesty's promise this time." ”

When he finished, I turned my gaze to the Orc King, who didn't show any displeasure, just a slight bow of his head calmly.

After retracting my gaze and thinking for a few seconds, I spread my hands and said, "But Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Old Duke, I really can't think of anything else I want." ”

"In that case," the orc king said, "then write down this promise first, and then ask me when you need it, how about it?" ”

I hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The matter of compensation is over, and then on the topic of equipment enhancement machines, the orc king proposes that the treasury fund to assist Kailan in completing the commissioning of equipment enhancement machines.

As soon as the proposal was issued, the ministers responded one after another, and they all agreed.

In fact, it is not surprising that there is such a result, as I said before, optimizing the performance of equipment is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is easy to be recorded in history with a positive image.

Everyone present is a high-level of power, and naturally there is no shortage of wealth, if there is anything else they desire, it is nothing more than to leave a name in history.

At the end of the court meeting, the orc king mentioned the artillery plan again, and the ministers still expressed their opinions as they did in the last court meeting, while fighting with each other, and no one refused to back down half a point.

Seeing that the Orc King frowned again, a little impatient, and I knew that it was almost time for me to make a suggestion, he immediately coughed heavily.

Although I am not as majestic as Prime Minister Lesta, the ministers still give me a lot of face.

Bowing slightly, I said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea. ”

"Speak."

"As we all know, the current scientific research leaders in the Zephyr Continent are nothing more than the goblin clan, they have both idle scholars, and enough materials and money, we can invite them, or introduce professionals at a high price to jointly develop this technology."

As soon as the words fell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer took a step and said, "The Minister believes that the proposal put forward by Prime Minister An Xiaoyi is both desirable and undesirable. ”

The Orc King nodded: "Reason? ”

"You all know that the Zephyr Continent is a martial continent, and it is respected by strength, and the reason why the goblin clan studies science and technology is just to make up for the lack of their own strength through scientific and technological means, but the scientific and technological strength is limited, but the personal strength is infinite, at least so far, I haven't heard of any adventurer who has reached the peak of strength, so why should we spend money on such inconsequential things?"

After listening to the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, more than a dozen ministers came out of the crowd at the same time to support the Chancellor's thoughts.

The remaining ministers had different expressions, some leaning towards me, while others remained neutral and did not help each other.

Glancing at the Lesta Chancellor, the Old Duke, and the Orc King.

Prime Minister Lesta's expression was very indifferent, he was in absolute neutrality, the old duke looked at me leisurely, his eyes were full of support and encouragement, but the orc king looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his group with burning eyes, obviously, he was already tempted.

Without the support of the Orc King, even if the artillery plan is implemented, I am afraid it will be difficult.

It's better not to do anything than to make a difference.

I sighed helplessly and said, "What the Chancellor of the Exchequer said is extremely true, but I didn't think about it well. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately said modestly: "Prime Minister An Xiaoyi, don't be presumptuous, you are young, but you can always think about my Dasai City, it is really a blessing for Dasai City, presumably over time, you will definitely become an indispensable pillar of my Dasai City!" ”
