"Exactly." Luvas nodded in agreement, "I think this is also a result of the positive influence of the Swordsmith of Light. ”

"It's the one of Alsedliu...... I see. Osborne thought to himself, "It turned out to be a close friend of the man, no wonder he acted so openly." But I've heard that the El Barea family is doing everything they can to deal with such local nobles who are unwilling to compromise on taxes. ”

“…… Exactly, very ashamed. Although these practices were ordered by his father, Helmut Elbaria, it was pointed out to his face that as a member of the Elbare family, Lufas was still a little ashamed, "As early as five years ago, Count Gotti and his father did a lot of things to put pressure on those local nobles. ”

"You don't have to. You and your pedantic father are not all the same, many people know that. Osborne said, not knowing whether he was mocking or comforting, "but the Count of Gotti ...... Could it be the famous financial family of the "Jade Gongdu"......"

"Exactly. Count Gorti is good at manipulating the stock market, and his family is as rich as the rest of the country. Lufas nodded in confirmation, "The mira he earns through financial means is in no way inferior to the taxes that the El Barea family receives from all over the state of Kruchen." ”

"That's really ......," Osborne smacked slightly, though he didn't look surprised at all, "this kind of aristocrat is also very difficult to deal with, with modern business acumen, unlike those who only know how to cling to their territory......"

"Exactly. Therefore, although his father valued him, he never gave him too much command of the state army. Although Helmut is pedantic and hopeless, after all, he is also the head of one of the "four famous families" who have been in charge of Kruchen for decades and are directly responsible to the emperor...... At least the Rogner family, which also belongs to the "Four Famous Families", is far from something that Count Gotti can shake. ”

"It's the one in Luray, Notia, the Marquis's family that works closely with the "Lane Forte Society", right? After all, it's an old aristocratic capitalist, and it's normal to be incomparable. Osborne thought to himself, "When you go back, you should pay more attention to the actions of Count Goti, and remember to send me reports regularly." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Lufas saluted again.

"Next, let's talk about the topic we were interrupted by Miriam just now......" Slightly stunned, Prime Minister Osborne, who had unconsciously deviated from the topic, brought the topic back, "The son of the Khozweil family has now arrived in Liber?" ”

"Yes." Luvas confirmed, "After both the God of Fighters and the Chasseur King were killed, the Zephyr army left him and the Zephyr Elf behind. The two are currently operating together, and they were seen entering Liber territory last week. ”

"And after that?" Osborne closed his eyes slightly.

"The intelligence officers lost them." "That boy seems to have some special strange skill to fool our intelligence officers with a technique similar to optical refraction. ”

"Technology?" Osborne paid attention to Lufas's diction, "Is it flowing from a place like the Thirteenth Workshop?" ”

"No, that's not certain." Lufas immediately said, "No one has ever seen similar channeling magic and martial arts techniques, so we can only consider the skills we haven't mastered yet...... However, if it weren't for the power of such technology, it could be some kind of strange magic that we never knew about. ”

"Judging from the newspaper, this possibility is not impossible." Osborne thought, "The way he behaves is too strange for a warrior from the nobility of the Empire...... Precisely because he is not a person who acts according to common sense, we cannot infer from common sense. ”

"You are talking about it, Your Excellency."

"Lufas, guess where he might have gotten his aid?"

“…… I thought, maybe from some strange ancient relic? In that case, it will have something to do with the Qiyao Church. It probably can't be any other chasseur force, and it's unlikely that it's a guerrilla guild. ”

"And what about the serpent?" Osborne smirked.

“…… Don't tease me, Your Excellency. Lufas was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Speaking of snakes, don't you know much more than me?" ”

"Hehe, that's what I said." Osborne smiled lightly, and then said solemnly: "There is some truth in your inference, but I don't think it's true. Again, from my point of view, he has nothing to do with the "snake". ”

"Well, that's ......"

"Don't delve into the specific situation." Osborne interrupted Lufas's thoughts, "Anyway, the reason I'm talking about this is because I need you, Lufas, the Emerald General, to track and report all signs of this child's movements. ”

“…… Be. Although he was still a little entangled, Lufas quickly adjusted his state and responded.

"Good. So that's the end of today's discussion, and then you're going to meet Your Majesty on behalf of your father, aren't you? ”

“…… You're still like a god. Lufas smiled bitterly, "Father still doesn't give up, this is the first time I don't know, he asked me to come to ask His Majesty to give him the royal approval of the tax adjustment." ”

"But no matter how many times it is, Your Majesty will never agree." Osborne smiled confidently: "Go ahead and do what you have to do." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, please take care." With one last bow, Lufas slowly exited the Prime Minister's office.

"Hehehe......" In the huge room, the man who was left at the peak of the country's power smiled slightly, "How should this sudden variable, the new chess piece, be used by me......

After a turn of thought, he thought of the blonde man who had just left, the petite girl who had not been serious in the face of him a few times, and the two right-hand men he always trusted-

"Kids...... The stage for you to show your talents is almost ready, you have to play well, but don't let me down......"

"Iron-blooded Sons", it is rumored that Prime Minister Osborne privately cultivated, all of them are young girls with unique skills. The real ones may not be as powerful and omnipotent as they are rumored, but they are definitely amazingly powerful. For the "iron-blooded prime minister" who is at the pinnacle of power in this country and is overwhelmed by the heights, their existence is more or less a relief of pressure and the expansion of room for maneuver.

Only he himself knows what kind of pressure he has borne under the seemingly glamorous appearance to carry this country.

Reaching for the pocket watch hidden in the hidden compartment of the desk, he expertly pressed the protruding piece on the back, and in the pop-up shell, the picture of his young boy with black hair sleeping was clearly visible.

"Lane ......" also emitted an inaudible whisper that only he could hear.
