"Where did you go, little love?"

After spending a long day in the library, after the maid had filled the teacup with water at least a dozen times, Erli was late......

Is it a delusion? Shenqi sniffed it carefully, and felt that the little guy had a milky smell on his body, but it was not very similar to the taste of milk.

"Berti showed me a lot of things, so it took quite a while to come back..."

Sensing that something important was going to happen, Ellie shrank slightly, then obediently lowered her head with a pitiful look of confession.

"It's okay~ It's okay~ Anyway, it's not that important."

So, Shenqi, who had no resistance at all, happily hugged Erli directly, she had no intention of pursuing anything, but now, that idea has long been thrown into her mind.

“… Wait! Mother-sama! I'm wearing a dress! ”

She was dressed in a short skirt, and she felt the friction of the air flow under the skirt, coupled with the inexplicable feeling that someone was staring at her, which immediately made Erli panic.

"It's okay, and there are no outsiders~~

And I love your panties very cute~"

"It's not your mother's choice!!

……

After tossing and turning for almost five minutes, the two of them finally stopped, except that one blushed and could drip blood, and the other felt like he had stepped into heaven.

"It's amazing to feel like a daughter......"

"Mother, can I call Sister Mengzi?"

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Shenqi immediately straightened his attitude, as if nothing had happened before.

"Hmm...... All right, Mother. ”

Regardless of the redness of her cheeks, and the idea that even if she wore a long skirt later, she had to adjust and prepare for a discussion.

"But, little love, you have to look at these things before.

Although it is verbose, you should understand that it is necessary. ”

Shenqi pulled a dozen long, thick rolls of parchment from the table beside her, and when she took them, she flipped through them and saw countless small characters and sketchy maps.

"Hmm."

Ellie opened a scroll first, it was ancient Greek characters, most of which she could recognize, but this did not mean that she could accurately grasp the meaning of it, so she went to find the dictionary used by the demon world and compared it with the human text.

And here, Shenqi did not bother her daughter, because she also had a lot of matters to deal with, and even asked the maid to bring a very general map of the "world", only the Mediterranean Sea and Asia Minor were included.

The two of them went about their business very quietly, and at this time, the head maid naturally took over the affairs of the other maids, so in this private library, there were only three people.

"Okay... Mother, I'm done. ”

It was more than an hour before Ellie looked up from the pile of papers, and her face was not very good.

"Really? …

Let's talk about it, little love. ”

Instead of turning his head, Shenqi examined the paper in his hand while staring carefully at the map that had been magically divided into spheres of influence.

"The judgment of the Ministry of Ν on Central Asia is a vacuum, but from the actual situation, it can be said that Zoroaster's power has almost completely penetrated, and it is only a matter of foundation.

In addition they mentioned...... The resurrection of Buddhism in China, but it seems that Uther should tell you, right? Why is it being reported now? ”

"Indeed...... Lady Shenqi, when you treated him, I must have dictated the report to you. ”

"Ahem... Yes, but what about that paper report? ”

The weak-hearted Shenqi didn't want to admit what he had done, and at that time, he forgot to ask someone else to hand in the report on Uther's behalf. So he changed the subject, but Yumeko's voice was even stranger.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Shenqi, I didn't receive it.

Because when he came to you, he said that he had not finished writing yet, so didn't he dictate the main problem to you? ”

"Yes... Yes... Looks like I forgot about it..."

So, Shenqi covered his forehead in embarrassment, but he didn't expect ...... On the spur of the moment...

But the two thought that the news was too troublesome, so it made her a little confused, so Erli gently pulled the corner of Shenqi's clothes and whispered.

"I'm sorry, Mother... I'll say it succinctly. ”

It's so cute!!

However, in order to maintain the image just now, Shenqi had to regret pretending to be calm, and then smiled gently.

"It's okay, Xiao Ai, just keep talking."

"Yes, Mother.

The Γ Ministry does not now control the economic ...... of any country Not even a major trade route has been mastered, and the changes within the Roman Empire have completely disrupted our deployment among the human race, so we only rely on rumors to find out the news.

The Beta, on the other hand, is too focused on collecting in the East and Egypt, and does not seem to care about the West, and I personally think that we need to pay attention to those places, and, to my surprise, the Saracens know the same as the humans.

However, the useful information obtained so far is that the battle between Rome and Persia has greatly damaged the vitality of the two countries, and if the mother wants to do something, it should be considered advantageous. ”

With that, Ellie looked at Shenqi, but she just shook her head before continuing.

"Xiao Ai, what you said is very right, but the key is in execution.

There are so few people who can actually be mobilized, and the Roman Civil War has killed almost all of my intelligence sources, and even if I try to start a rebellion in Egypt, it will be useless now.

There are only a few people who can start a rebellion, and an unorganized human mob is inferior to a herd of wild boars.

Yumeko went to communicate with me about the situation over there, and told me that the result was not optimistic. ”

She led Arlie to the map and looked at the magical powers: the purple Rome that controlled the eastern Mediterranean and the South Asian Pennines, the silent Europe of the Germanic and Celtic peoples, and the Sassanid Persia that burned like the flames of the Iranian plateau and the valley of the two rivers.

This is the sphere of influence of countries that have the power to change the situation in the known world, but under Rome and Persia it is a distorted shape, looking like a huge desert spread out.

"Mother...... Here it is..."

"I know... But herein lies the difficulty, how to control it? ”

Anyone with the slightest bit of brains would want to take control of the almost untouched Arabian Peninsula, but the problem is that in this day and age, the cost of conquest and occupation is simply too high to outweigh the costs.

Crossing the desert is a very irrational act, and any sensible commander or leader will never rashly set foot in this most primitive and dangerous cruel nature.

But...... That doesn't mean they don't want to get involved.

The point is... How to meddle?
