"Oh, yes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info One more thing, Your Highness. Melanie patted her head and said, "After you went to Moso, Lord Bai fell into a deep sleep. He asked me to tell him to wake him up when you returned. ”

"White?" Alan was overjoyed to hear this: "This kid has fallen into a deep sleep, which means that he is finally going to be promoted." ”

Alan knew Shiro's potential better than anyone else, and Shiro had transformed from a king snake into a human form, although he had sacrificed a lot of things, such as the king snake was born with a body superior to that of a human. However, White's potential is still huge, and after Lola and Belmode have been promoted one after another, White is still stuck at level 9. It's not that his talent is worse than others, on the contrary, he has a talent above Lola, and even Hubble can't compare to White. The longer Bai stays at level 29, the stronger he will be after advancing to the ranks. Now that he had finally fallen into a deep sleep, it was evident that his promotion and transformation were going on together. If it hadn't been for Lola pulling, Alan would have almost woken him up.

In the end, I endured it, and when I finished dealing with the affairs at hand, I went to see how far Bai had grown.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Alan met with the dignitaries from the provinces of Rees and Petti, as agreed. In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, these mermaids rushed in. Melanie, who was leading the way, nodded at Alan and stepped back, closing the door for them. Alan had already known their identities before that, and among these men, there were two provincial governors. The Provincial Governor is the head of a province and is the key person who manages a province on behalf of the Sbernack, and they may be negligible in terms of combat power, but they are good at how to run their territory. Among the men in front of him, the chubby Bal man standing at the front on the right was Heath, the provincial governor of Reese, with a head as large as a ball, no neck visible, a large body, short limbs, and a shiny face, which looked like a seal walking upright. On the left was the provincial governor of Petti, Coente, a Bal man with an unusually long neck that looked like a giraffe, who had to bend his neck very hard when he entered the study, and now he had to be careful not to touch the crystal lamp in the ceiling.

As for the few people behind them, most of them were big merchants or important people in the city.

Alan looked at them carefully, and saw that these people were sweating profusely, and then Alan said softly: "Listen to Melanie, you have been staying in Mokdan for many days. Can you tell me what made you do this? Or is your territory so comfortable that you don't need to take care of it? ”

Heath, the provincial governor from Rees, wiped the beads of sweat on his head with a handkerchief, and said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness Allen said that it was a joke, Your Majesty has assigned our two provinces to your name, and we don't want to come to see Your Highness." It's just that it was unfortunate to catch up with His Highness's long journey, and he was afraid that His Highness would suddenly come back and miss it, so he didn't dare to leave, and he was cheeky to stay in Mokdan until now. ”

"Oh, that's hard for you." Alan said indifferently: "Now that I'm back, just say anything directly." Hide it like this, you don't feel bad, I feel sorry for you. Don't be sloppy with me, if it's just Jin Jian, when can you come to see me, you have to stay in Mokdan and not leave, obviously your intentions are not so simple, am I right? ”

Heath looked embarrassed and coughed a few times to speak. The provincial governor from the province of Peiti next to him, Coent, preemptively said: "My lord is quick to talk, then let's talk directly." After receiving the order from the Demon Ring City, although we tried our best to appease, the people in the province were panicked. ”

Alan looked up: "What are you panicking about?" Am I going to kill them? ”

Heath said with a smile: "Of course, I am not afraid that His Highness will do this, and His Highness has no reason to do this." It's just that these people are used to the old days, and no one knows what kind of changes will happen after they are included in His Highness's territory. In particular, businessmen should be aware that the channels and commercial chains that have been established may change due to the ownership of the province. ”

"Even upheaval." Coente emphasized.

Alan showed a smile, but this smile was not kind at all: "It sounds like you're not very happy to accept this order from the Demon Ring City, why, you don't want to bow down to me?" ”

"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Heath hurriedly said, "We have heard about His Highness Allen's deeds for a long time, so we are naturally willing to follow you." It's just that we want His Highness to be a little flexible in the management of the two provinces of Rees and Peti, I don't know if it's possible? ”

"What a workaround?" Alan asked, narrowing his eyes.

Coente stepped forward and said, "It's very simple, we will pay the same amount of taxes to His Highness Allen according to the taxes we paid to Magic Ring City in the past. But in the administration of the provinces, we want to retain a certain degree of independence. You should be able to understand that, Your Highness. After all, the internal affairs of our province are complicated, and if we need to ask His Highness for instructions on everything, it will be too cumbersome. His Royal Highness has a lot of opportunities, and he must not want to bother with this kind of thing. ”

Alan laughed, stroked his palm, and said, "After going around such a big circle, it turns out that you want to be your own province and your own decision." It's not impossible to delegate power, but don't you think this gives you too much power? ”

"Or do you think I'm not qualified to manage you, I might as well guess. If I refuse, then do you have to disobey some commands? ”

When Sheehan and Coent heard this, they behaved differently at the moment. The former's legs trembled and he was sweating profusely. The latter, however, did not know where the courage came from, and said loudly: "Your Highness, I have to remind you. No matter how much Your Majesty thinks of you, you are never a Bal. What do you know about Agares, and how much do you know about our province? We pay our taxes on time, and you are a little more relaxed about the affairs within the province, not everyone is good, so why bother"

Before he could finish speaking, Alan flicked his fingers, and a flash of red light flashed from his fingertips across Coent's neck, and the overgrown provincial governor fell to the ground, and his head was separated.

The atmosphere in the study room was condensed.

Alan slowly stood up: "I think you got one thing wrong, I am your master, not some partner. ”

He looked at the adults from the two provinces, including Heath, and fell to his knees in fear. Alan left the desk and said, "Even Sburnac has chosen to ally with me, so where do you have the qualifications to negotiate with me." Power? I can give it to you, or I can take it back. You were the provincial governor before, and you were a high-ranking official. But now, with just one word from me, you can be nothing. You may be well-connected, or you may think that I dare not shake your position, and that this will not deprive me of the wealth I deserve. But I tell you, talent can be cultivated, and I believe that there are people waiting to replace you. ”

"So don't be too presumptuous to me, from today onwards, you are the new provincial governor." Alan casually pointed to a man behind Coent, who was dazed and then ecstatic. Alan smiled, "What's your name?" ”

He didn't even know the man's name.
