"Cultists......" The maid muttered in a low voice as her eyes fell on the papers in her hand.

However, her attention is not entirely focused on these government affairs, and sometimes she can't help but look to the north.

Due to the unusual movements in the Black Forest in recent days, Cervantes has left Winder City, and if nothing else, he may not be able to return for a month or two, and if there is an accident...... Then you may need to stay longer.

Compared to the cultist who went crazy on the Mendes continent and started to make trouble, she was more concerned about the situation in the Black Forest.

Now that the Principality of Screaming Wind is safe enough, she doesn't need to worry too much about the cultists' problems, and the relevant agencies are enough to solve these problems on their own.

This kind of work efficiency is much higher than that of 'aristocracy', but relatively speaking, the demand is also higher.

With the exception of the Duchy of the Winds of Sorrow, it would be wishful thinking for a country to have such a large number of clerks in a world that a few years ago had been a medieval world.

This is also because Serena recruited scholars throughout the Kolo Kingdom in advance, and finally managed to gather so many 'literate people', even the Ogordon Empire does not want to have such a complete system of state functions in the short term.

Today's Wailing Wind Principality government is like a complete machine, every agency is a cog, every cog is indispensable, and the lack of one is enough to make today's government agencies have a big mistake.

It can be said that even if there is a rebellion among cultists within the principality, the impact will not be too great, and even whether those cultists can infiltrate the principality is a question.

On the contrary, the Black Forest, the Black Forest is more threatening to the principality, not to mention, if some monsters from the ruins of the Arcane Empire attack the border, it is likely to break through their defenses.

If it weren't for this, Cervantes wouldn't have left Wende City to guard the border now.

Thinking of this, the maid couldn't help but sigh heavily.

The demon tide has developed to the present, even in Wende City, the concentration of magic power is not lower than that of the Black Forest a few years ago, and now the young dragons rarely go out, because they have not fully grown up, it is difficult to control their bloodline, and if they are not careful, they will burst out with powerful power.

If it weren't for the fact that [Star Ocean Boat] helped develop a 'limiter', it might not be possible for them to be released by their parents and elders until they awakened the 'aura'.

Even with the 'Limiter', the time they can go out for activities every day has been greatly reduced, and sooner or later, even the 'Limiter' may not be able to continue to limit the power of their bloodline.

However, even if the world of Assatom has an unobstructed passage with the astral boundary, this place is within the crystal wall after all, and no matter how the magic environment changes, it will not become an overly rich magical environment like the astral boundary.

Not all life is able to swim in the sea of magic elements, and too rich magic elements will lead to overgrowth of life, and there may be problems at any point, causing life to collapse directly.

The creatures that can survive in the astral realm today have evolved over thousands of years before they evolved into a form that adapts to a magical environment.

There are few elements in the astral realm, and more are 'magic elements', so if you throw an ordinary human directly into the astral realm, it will only cost him his life.

The drastic changes in the magical environment have led to many things, such as the frequent appearance of 'undead', and the condensation of elemental spirits.

These are not trivial problems, and if not properly addressed, they can lead to bigger problems.

Rubbing her temples with a headache, the maid bit her lower lip and leaned back in the soft chair.

Tuk tuk!

At this time, the knock on the door sounded again, and she suddenly opened her eyes, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but the maid took a deep breath, calmed down, and said calmly: "Come in!"

"Sister Serena!"

A brisk voice came into her ears, and the maid's face that had just tensed up suddenly relaxed, and she watched softly as her sister-in-law pushed the door in.

After all these years of growth, Edith has grown into a big girl, but she has never had the idea of getting married, and she has devoted herself to her work...... It may be a good thing for the principality, but it is not a good thing for her mother.

After all, Mrs. Molly is a mortal, and with the average life expectancy of mortals in this world, she is quite close to an 'old man' in her forties, but her daughter has never planned to get married, and she has to be anxious.

"Is there something wrong?" asked the maid softly, ruffling her sideburns.

The tall dragon vein girl blinked her golden eyes, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, Sister Serena, the population statistics of the third phase of our principality have been completed. ”

Hearing this, the maid raised her eyebrows and took a gentle breath.

The third phase of the census has been completed, which means that all the population of every town and village in the Principality has been counted.

No matter which remote corner of the principality lives, even a backward mountain village that has not yet realized that its lord has changed, it is also counted.

Since seven or eight years ago, the maid has been ordering the work to begin, and now that it has finally been completed, it means that their principality will be the first country in this era and the world to complete this work.

Behind this series of events is the strong efficiency of the Principality's existing institutions, and it also means that they can finally begin to fully plan the future development of the Principality.

In fact, the urban population would have been counted four years earlier, and if it weren't for the fact that there are so many scattered and unknown mountain villages, they might have done the job long ago.

But it's also something to celebrate, because counting the population will help them calculate how much surplus labor will be available in the future, and then when some welfare policies should be released, and so on.

However, this is not the end of it, the good news follows, as if all the good news has been piled up to this day, and then burst out at the same time -

"Report to the maid sir, the battery that can automatically absorb free magic has been successfully experimented!"

In other words, their magic locomotives can be sold elsewhere?

"Master Maid, we have designed a magic circle that can absorb solar energy, and the efficiency is far higher than planned, and the conversion rate has even reached forty-two percent!"

Hearing this, the maid smiled heartily, and at this time she should thank the god of light for his blessings...... Right?

No one is disgusted with having too much energy in their hands, in fact, energy is an issue that must be taken into account at all times.

There will also be some 'non-demonic' environments, or 'high inertia' environments in the astral plane, and if they don't have magic, how can they explore and colonize that kind of place?

No matter how many energy sources you already have in your hands, it is necessary to develop additional new energy sources.

"Lady Maid, the 'motorcycle' you designed for us has entered the first phase of testing, but judging from the previous data, there is no problem with actually running it. ”

It's not enough to just have a magic locomotive like an off-road vehicle, they need more vehicles, and motorcycles are just one of them, but it's nice to have such good news when war is approaching.

In one day, the four good news that came one after another did not smash the maid into a daze, on the contrary, she was quite calm at this time.

You have to be calm enough to make sure you don't make mistakes.

Now that the Principality is still 'centralized', she must be wise enough to be able to lead the country forward!
