"Well, at that time, I had not yet arrived in the royal capital, and my companions bought knights from the traveling merchants, and while watching, their mouths were muttering strange things, and I happened to hear them, and to be honest, I didn't understand them at all. He said that the oligarchy is not good, and it should be unlocked with gold coins in exchange for the monarchy. I asked him a little bit what he was talking about, and he asked me if I understood the allocation of resources, and I said I didn't understand, and he asked me if I knew that the whole world was not the king's land, and I said I didn't know. He ignored me. It was really infuriating, and then I thought about what he said, combined with what I had seen in the past few years, and I had the idea just now. ”

“……”

Mark suddenly remembered that in his early years, Master Merlin, as a god of law and a great prophet, liked to disguise himself as a traveler or a beggar to do divination for people, and sometimes he would give all kinds of useful revelations to those who were pleasing to the eye.

Could it be that this maiden's companion is the same as Master Merlin...... Also a great prophet? Or a famous scholar?

That shouldn't be possible, right?

Mark thought silently.

Seeing that Mark didn't speak, Kayilu remembered another question he had asked, and continued, "As for you asking if it can be realized...... I think it will be achieved one day, because it's just a means, not an end. If we work together, it's not impossible to come up with a better way. ”

"Yes......" Mark breathed a sigh of relief, saying that this was in line with the concept of benevolence that valued the people.

Mark picked up the quill, cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem." I understand what you think, but unfortunately, rules are rules, and without a knight, you can't participate in the king's election. ”

Mark explained earnestly.

"Huh." Kayilu's eyes instantly lost their brilliance, she thought that the other party had been moved by her speech, but she didn't expect the same result.

"So, I can only help you fill out the registration form first, and leave the list of servants blank. When the king's election officially begins next month, you can remember to bring your knight servant and ask me for a supplementary application. ”

"Huh?" Kayiru looked shocked and asked in disbelief, "That's it?" ”

"Generally speaking, no, but the court does not prohibit the temporary replacement of servant knights, after all, there are many people participating in the election, in case there are one or two people who like to secretly manipulate people, causing the servants on the list to not be able to appear...... Ahem, this is just a possibility, in short, your situation, you can consider it according to the replacement servant. Mark said as he started writing the registration form, and after a while, he put down his pen, "Fill it out." ”

"Oh." Kairu nodded, "That'...... Is this considered the application over? ”

"Hmm." Mark knocked on his stiff shoulder and twisted his neck, "Next month, on the 12th, Camelot City will open its doors to all candidates and servants. The gate guards will let you and your servants in. So, now for the math, you still have a month to prepare. ”

"Understood, thank you." Cairu nodded happily. That way, she will have time to find the Servant.

The girl suddenly remembered that she had received a favor from someone else, and could not fail to express it, so she escaped from the money bag again, pushed it up with the money bag on the table, and said loudly, "Sir, please accept this little care." ”

“…… I said I won't accept it! Mark was a little annoyed, "You'd better put this set away!" If another candidate sees it and reports it to Lord Merlin, you will be forcibly disqualified! No one will be able to help you then! ”

"Oh." Kayilu obediently put away the money bag.

In her opinion, this uncle named Mark should have identified with herself, otherwise he would not have helped herself and would not have collected money.

Is this called tsundere.

Kayilu thought.

Kayilu scratched the back of her head and was about to turn away when Mark seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped her.

"By the way, there's something I think I should explain to you."

"What? Are you going to leak exam questions!? Kayilu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

“…… No. Mark said unkindly, "I want to say that although the ideas you just told me can be regarded as your plus points, the election relies on hard power, and with your current strength, I have to say that the chances of winning are slim." ”

"Huh?" Kayilu froze.

"Combat effectiveness, decision-making, charisma, learning ability, etc...... These are all things it takes to be a king, and from that point of view, your performance is at the most average level of any applicant I've ever seen. Compared with Giroud, it is even more different. ”

"Huh? You say I'm not as good as Olivier Giroud!? Kayilu was dumbfounded, and at the same time became extremely angry, "That guy is obviously a scumbag!" Why do you say I'm inferior to him!? ”

"Because he's better than you." Mark said coldly, "I don't know who he is, this will naturally be judged by the examiners present at that time, I just want to tell you that your current hard power is indeed far inferior to Giroud." If you want to win against him, at least bring a team that can surpass him and his servants in terms of overall strength. To tell you the truth, every Servant Knights he brought today are strong men above the fourth order, do you understand? ”

“…… Each? Fourth Order!? Kayilu froze.

How strong is this!?

Even if it is a regular knight order under the palace flag, those who can reach the fourth order are also top powers.

"Well, I see." Kayilu said dejectedly.

"Well, I'm done talking, you can go."

“……”

Kayilu shuffled out of the palace with heavy steps.

Looking at the girl's back, Mark sighed, he leaned back in the chair tiredly, rested for nearly ten minutes, and then put a letter from his pocket on the table.

The envelope had ivy-like patterns on the envelope, and since it was a magical letter, he didn't have to open it to know its contents.

"Aktor, I have received your letter and met your daughter, I have just completed the work you entrusted me, although your daughter does not understand the responsibilities and obligations on that black sword, and she cannot control the soul. But I think your daughter still has some hope, so I agreed to let her run in the election. ”

Carving the words into the envelope, Mark waved his summoning magic, and then a falcon's angel flew out of the blue magic circle, flapped its wings and landed on Mark's shoulder. Mark set the destination for the falcon and handed it the envelope.

The falcon grabbed the envelope with its beak, flew out of the hall window, spread its wings, and disappeared.
