Space fortresses, corridors.

The silvery-white ceiling is mirror-smooth and painted with a network of squares—fire spray holes dotted between flashing lights and stealthy laser guns. The walls reflected the glow of the warning lights, glowing reddish, joined from beginning to end in a smooth single piece—like a wide, clean, seamless mirror—reflecting an infinite number of figures, faces, and reflections.

On the non-slip metal floor, Xia Li followed Evan like a small tail and strode towards the living quarters. Except for a small number of people who were closed off information, the rest of the consortium employees met along the way greeted them one after another to show their friendship.

Evan felt annoyed, but still had to politely close his head in return, while Xia Li couldn't understand their words at all, and her face was full of nervousness and confusion. If the expressions on her face could be automatically formed into words, then her face must be full of - who am I, where am I, what am I going to do!?

However, she was the Hades of Menes after all, and after getting used to the environment of the space fortress a little, her mind quickly calmed down, and she sensed that these intruders seemed to respect her royal brother. For this obviously abnormal situation, Xia Li's brain obviously can't turn around, in her opinion, these enemies are incomprehensible super natural disasters for the empire, and can easily destroy everything in the world - in this case, is it necessary for them to respect Brother Wang so much!?

Xia Li bit her lip and racked her brains to think for a while, only to feel that there was no clue about the commotion in her head. I had to reach out and gently tug at the corner of Evan's clothes, and asked in a voice that only they could hear:

"Brother Wang, why do I feel these intruders...... I have no hostility towards you at all, and I even respect you very much!?"

"They don't respect me, they respect power and gold. ”

When Evan heard this, he immediately slowed down and replied in a way that the girl could understand: "I have obtained the leadership of this organization by some means, and they are now working for me, and then I will give them gold as a reward. So, they respected me, not because I was king of Menes, but because I was their leader. ”

"Leadership, you mean you replaced the archdemon Keane!?" Charlie covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes sparkling at him.

"Keane? He's just a little boss, and I'm in charge of a lot of that little boss right now. He patiently explained.

"Oh God!"

The girl couldn't help but let out an exclamation, dizzy by the great joy, and breathed rapidly with her hands on her chest in excitement. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had fallen some distance, and hurriedly trotted with the corner of his skirt and chased after him. Then the whole person became arrogant, looking like a cat who had found a tiger as a backer, with a fierce expression on his pretty face, and said through gritted teeth:

"Brother Wang, hang that big demon Keane to death! There are also search groups that like to arrest people for experiments, they must all die, and they will be punished with insect devouring!"

"Of course I want to do the same, but this organization is no more equal than the Empire, and the leaders and members are relatively equal...... At the very least, they seem to be equal. So I can't kill Keane and the garbage, and now there's a time to use them...... I'll talk about that later. Don't worry, I won't let them go," Ivan replied calmly.

"Uh-huh, I'll listen to Brother Evan...... Brother Wang!" The girl nodded like a chick pecking rice.

At this moment, in her mind, Evan was already a symbol of omnipotence. What he said must be right, and his considerations must be reasonable. She doesn't need to think too much, it's not something she's good at, just obey.

Considering Xia Li's strong hostility towards the Federation, Evan reminded in advance: "This time I brought you up, mainly to introduce you to a few of my friends. They didn't do anything malicious against Menes, and some of them weren't even from the Federation, so they weren't allowed to be rude!"

"Got it!" Xia Li replied obediently.

One by one, one by one

Space Fortress, Lounge.

The lounge is a huge space with a cross-shaped plan, and in addition to the public rest area in the middle, there is a separate area in the south, east, west, and west, and employees live in different zones according to their functions. The place where Evan brought Charlie is the rest area where the management lives, and the seals are currently arranged here. Considering their special status, each was assigned a separate luxury room.

After the six contacted via communicator, they agreed to meet in the seal's room.

Evan took Charlie's small hand, walked to the door marked Room 413, and reached out to touch the identifier on the door frame on the right.

Dingtone ——!

The alloy closed door opens outwards with the crisp chime, revealing the lavish furnishings inside.

The ceiling is decorated with a faint pattern of seaweed, and the light balls mounted on the ceiling emit a bright and soft light that illuminates the artwork displayed in the room. Sculptural models of various sea creatures make the space look more like a museum than a private space, and the owner has created an artistic mess through clever layout.

The walls are surrounded by patterned tapestries adorned with sea creatures of all shapes, framed in the same pattern, each separated by a glittering weapon ornament.

"He is worthy of the person who opened the aquarium...... It's a really eye-catching layout. Evan walked into the room in admiration.

"I heard me right!, the captain is actually praising me!"

When they saw them enter the room, they quickly sat up from the sofa and greeted them, and the seal asked loudly and loudly, and made a gesture to wipe away tears.

"Then I will criticize you for your corrupt style of life, arrogance and lasciviousness!"

"Forget it, you still praise me. The seal shook his head.

"Let me introduce to you, this my sister, the full name is too long for you to remember, just call her Xia Li. ”

Evan first introduced it in Federal, then let go of her little hand, and instructed in Menes, "These are my friends, you may meet often in the future, so introduce yourself." ”

"Hmm!"

Xia Li generously lifted her skirt to everyone, put her hands on her chest, and introduced herself in a soft voice:

"Greetings distinguished guests, I am Charlie Amenemat Amenemhet, the royal daughter of Menes. I have heard Brother Wang mention you a long time ago, and it is an honor to meet you today, and may the light of the mercy of God Atum always shroud you. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness. ”

"May youth and beauty be with you. ”

"Hello, I'm Erica, and I hope to be friends with you. ”

"It's an honor to meet you. ”

Although they couldn't understand each other's voices, everyone didn't understand what the Lori princess said, but the royal temperament and etiquette she showed still made everyone feel sincere, and they thanked each other one after another.

The Eye Demon and the Knight were originally from aristocratic backgrounds, and when it comes to dealing with this kind of thing, a big star like Erica will naturally not have stage fright, and the white bear's brain is fast enough to perfectly replicate the knight's movements...... Only the seal stared at Xia Li in a daze, and for a while, I forgot about it, and I almost drooled:

The girl has long purple-black hair, a slightly slender face, a pair of almond-shaped eyes under the air bangs are playful and cute, and amethyst-like pupils give people the feeling of a doll. She was wearing a very gorgeous long dress, with eagle wing stripes depicted with gold thread, which looked graceful and luxurious and full of youthful atmosphere.

Standing there prettyly, it's like those little fairies in fairy tales, and people can't take their eyes off it.

"Ahem!" Ivan had to warn.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

After the seal reacted, he also coughed dryly, relying on his psychological quality and the strength of his face to quickly recover his state, and said with his eyes shining: "Oh my God, is the appearance of the Hyperion Star Royal Family so high!? Your sister is so cute! It's a wheat-skinned vibrant Lori, the best! That, I, I'...... Isn't it too early for me to propose!?"

"I don't plan to interfere with her love life, so I don't want to talk about marriage, but if you want to pursue her, I won't object." Evanle replied - no agreement, but no objection, the attitude was tacit.

"Great, captain, you must fulfill me, I will recognize you as an uncle in my life!" the seal jumped three feet high in excitement.

"Phew, disgusting uncle, stay away from me in the future!" Erica covered her mouth and nose, glancing at him in disgust.

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" the Eye Demon turned his face and made an expression that he couldn't bear to look at.

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" the knight woman sang, pouting her face.

"You ...... You're going too far, I'm not legally blind, I'll wait until she's an adult!" the seal exclaimed, plucking up his courage.

"Huh!"

The white bear didn't say much, just responded with a concise but meaningful laugh.

"Lolita control is Lori control, nothing strange. As long as there is no actual act, it is not a crime, and people should not look at the seal with tinted glasses - just treat him as a dangerous person walking on the edge of the law. The jokes and personal matters are over for the time being, how is the organization of the Liaison Defense Forces?" Evan took Xia Li's small hand, walked to the side of the sofa, and then motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.

"In terms of personnel, things have been settled, and it will take a few days of running-in training before we can officially fight. The person in charge, Bai Xiong, followed and walked to the sofa opposite, sat down, and replied clearly.

"Very good, try to complete the run-in within three days. ”

Evan drew up a deadline and reminded him:

"Also, for some historical reasons, the reputation of the armed members of the consortium is very bad. In order to avoid causing hatred, your equipment and armor are to be changed to the style of Menes. In addition, I doubled my salary and asked them to double their quality. It is possible to claim superiority, but it is not allowed to engage in any disturbance to the people. This has been added to the contract, and it is hoped that you will strictly follow the standards, and those who violate the regulations will be fired immediately. ”

"Of course we know that. White Bear nodded.

"Well, you guys talk first, I'll go to Xiaoxi's side to see the situation. If you have time, teach my sister Federal, who has a good memory. After receiving the letter, he said that he wanted to leave for a while, and instructed Xia Li:

"The guy with the ring on his hand is very fond of you, and is going to teach you their language. Do it as you like, I'm not going to interfere with your marriage. ”

“......”

Xia Li suddenly blushed, pinched the corners of her skirt nervously, lowered her head and was shy and speechless.

One by one, one by one

Space Fortress, Nozomi's private space.

"I have carefully checked every expense in the accounts, and it seems that there is no problem, but the price problem is very big. According to the price list of Ekhtadon given to me by the master, your court treasurer is on the high side of the price when he procures goods, and he is suspected of taking kickbacks and enriching his own pockets. The artificial girl held the palace account book given to him by Evan, flapped the bull's ear-shaped radiator on her head, and replied seriously.

"Expected. Ivan nodded calmly.

But any good king must have a healthy financial system, otherwise he can't even hold his money bag, and how can he manage the huge administrative system. Therefore, after he defeated Eru Rome, he found out the palace accounts and handed them over to Xiaoxi who stayed on the space fortress to check.

Of course, it only took a little time for the artificial girl to find out the many loopholes in the accounts. Compared with her, an artificial intelligence with powerful computing power, Menes' strongest financial officer seems too young, too simple, not to mention a palace financial officer.

"I have calculated that even if I add the bounty given to the servants, the master's monthly expenses will be less than 100,000 deben. However, your financial officer spends as much as 260,000 deben per month, not including items that are forcibly bought and sold in your name. Xiao Xi analyzed accurately.

"Damn it!" Ivan frowned in distress at the thought of the extra millions of Debens that the court had to leak out every year.

"According to the laws of the Empire, greed for more than 10,000 deben can be punished by hanging, and your treasurer really deserves to die. Xiao Xi simulated the tone of the executioner and said murderously.

"Well, you list the price list of the royal capital and the accounts kept by these eight calves and make a comparison table. The evidence is ironclad, and I see what else they have to say!" said Ivan through gritting his back molars.

"Master, since there are problems with the accounts of the palace finances, then there must also be problems with the Imperial Court of Auditors (Household Department). If you need it, please give the accounts to Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi will help you find out where all the money is going!"

"Not in a hurry. ”

Evan shook his head lightly, took a deep breath, and a cold smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "When the demon hunters gather in the royal city and form a demon hunting army, plus the newly formed co-subordinate defense army and the holy army, none of these rabbit cubs can escape!"
