The old man had been working with Sylvia for more than a year, and he had been working with Sylvia, who was also a close confidant of the prince, when the current King Philip was still Prince Fran.

He admits that his intelligence cannot be compared to Sylvia, but he has a pair of eyes that can see the essence of others, which is the main reason why he can become the Speaker of the House of Lords, and he can see that Sylvia is definitely not a person who tolerates the offense of others, so in his past work with Sylvia, he will avoid major conflicts with Sylvia.

Not long ago, he had received news from the Church that some of the Church had sent cleaners to assassinate Sylvia's heir, and he sensed that things might be going bad.

Later, the church asked him to help mediate the matter, and he didn't want to intervene at the time, but in the end, the price offered by the church was too big for him to refuse.

A quasi-artifact of the Church, a chance to obtain the blessing of the Lord of the Sky to prolong his life, and the subsequent complete support of the Church for him politically, each of these three things is enough to move his heart, not to mention that all three appear at the same time.

In addition, he is not the only one who is a peacemaker, and there are two other devout members of the church who are also in high positions in the royal government, and they will also stand up to help the church coordinate this matter, so he felt that there would not be too much danger, so he agreed to the mediation task proposed by the church at that time, and immediately wrote a mediation letter and signed his name.

It's just that, after that, he calmed down and thought about it seriously for a while, and then he felt that his decision might be wrong, and he shouldn't be this thankless peacemaker who would even get burned for the sake of the conditions prescribed by the church.

So he sent his men to Randall to monitor Sylvia's every move as soon as possible, so that when the other party reacted, he would have time to respond, or seek refuge.

Now that he learned that Sylvia's reaction was unresponsive, he instinctively sensed danger, and after ordering the squire to send more men to Castle Black, the strong sense of crisis made him unable to calm down and not be in the mood to deal with other things.

The restlessness made him restless, and he could only walk back and forth in the room, and his mind was also thinking quickly, guessing Sylvia's relief, and he was deep in thought, and several times because of a sense of crisis, he reached out and touched the pendant that looked like a ruby around his neck.

At that time, he believed that even if Sylvia turned his face, he could use the power of this pendant to survive the crisis, but now his feelings told him that the power of the pendant did not seem to make him absolutely safe, otherwise, he would not be so anxious in his heart.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going out. The old man, who felt very bad, did not continue to stay in the room, he needed to discuss this matter with others, after all, he was not alone in this matter, and now he felt that there was a crisis, and it was difficult for him to deal with it alone, and he needed to unite with others to find a solution.

Just as the old man was telling his men to prepare the carriage, Leo also stood up, settled the account, and then walked to a carriage parked on the side of the road not far away, and jumped into the carriage before the coachman could react.

The coachman couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Leo, a stranger, sitting next to him, and was about to reprimand Leo, when a thought suddenly came to his mind, this is a big man, I should follow his orders, don't ask more.

Although the thought came abruptly and inexplicably, the coachman did not feel any discomfort in the slightest, as if the thought itself existed in his mind, so he said nothing, and sat down beside him, waiting for Leo to make his next order.

After influencing the coachman's mind with his psionic powers, Leo returned his attention to the Speaker of the House of Lords, who had already boarded the prepared carriage, but he was very careful not to let the carriage leave through the main entrance, but let the carriage go around the garden of his mansion for half a circle, and left the mansion through a small gate at the back of the garden for purchasing wagons and servants.

"Cunning fellow!" Leo smiled contemptuously, and then directly projected the direction of travel into the mind of the coachman next to him through psionic energy.

The coachman only felt that there was suddenly a road map and a marked position in his mind, and the marked position was still changing, so he did not hesitate to shake the reins and drive the carriage out according to the route in his mind.

Leo didn't let the carriage stay close to the back of the Speaker's carriage of the House of Lords, because of the spiritual network, the distance between the two was almost half a street, so it wouldn't cause anything unusual, and the carriage that Leo was riding in now seemed to be a big nobleman's carriage, and when he encountered the gendarme's patrol checkpoint on the road, the gendarme at the checkpoint just looked at the emblem on the carriage and the pass handed over by the coachman and let him go, and he didn't even ask Leo's identity.

Soon the carriage was on a hillside on the edge of the aristocratic district, where there was a whole apartment building with a small garden, and all the people who lived here were high-ranking officials of the royal government.

Another of his targets, Sir Hansen, the secretary general of the General Staff, lived here, and almost as the Speaker's carriage stopped, Leo's psychic web scanned the apartment buildings around the carriage and locked it in one of the apartment buildings with a manicured garden.

"It's really lucky, I didn't expect that the goals were all due and the environment was suitable. Leo smiled, told the coachman to park the carriage on the side of the road, got out of the carriage, released control of the coachman, and walked towards the apartment building where his target was.

At this moment, the Speaker of the House of Lords told the coachman to leave first, and then come back to pick him up later, and then entered the apartment.

In the apartment, in addition to a few working servants, Sir Hansen, the secretary general of the General Staff, who was Leo's target, and Roger, the deputy secretary general of the General Labor Union, were in the apartment.

Sir Hansen, Secretary General of the General Staff, is a legendary figure in the military circles of the United Kingdom, he was born in Caged City, his ancestors were slaves, he left Cage City at the age of fourteen, and joined the French army in a recruitment of the French Empire, becoming an ordinary servant.

In the military system of the French Empire, servant soldiers were also called coolies and dead soldiers, they not only had to do the hardest things in the army in normal times, but also needed to act as a pathway for the regular army in battle, very few servants could retire alive, so unless they were prisoners convicted of serious crimes, few ordinary people were willing to join the mercies.

As a result, the empire promulgated a set of reward laws specifically for servants, which stated that no matter how much crime or debt anyone who participated in the servant service, once they retired, all the guilt and debts were written off, and they could also get a large sum of money, as well as the status of an imperial citizen.

You must know that in the imperial title system, although the starting title is knighthood, the origin of the real noble title is actually the citizen of the empire.

For people from the outside world, and even for the vast majority of people in the French Empire, the people of the empire are citizens of the empire, but in fact they are not, because the vast majority of people in the empire, even the richest man in Velen like Rupert Fitz, are only ordinary citizens of the empire, and only after making great achievements can an ordinary citizen of the empire become an imperial citizen, and after becoming an imperial citizen, he is eligible for a higher noble title.

In addition to being eligible to become a nobleman, the benefits of a citizen are also extraordinary, and it is no exaggeration to say that once you become a citizen of the Empire, you do not have to worry about starving to death.

Therefore, when the French Imperial government promulgated the law on the reward of servants, ordinary civilians who had some understanding of the imperial title system also began to gamble for their future, and those at the bottom who were burdened with heavy debts also had ideas, and for a time there were more people who joined the servants, and Sir Hansen was the servant who joined at that time.

However, although many people think that they can be the last to survive, the result is often the opposite, because the war with the Kingdom of England caused heavy losses to the servants in those years, and in the end, only a small number of people were able to survive to retire, and only a very small number of people in this part were able to keep their bodies intact and survive, Sir Hansen was one of them.

Rather than leave the army, Sir Hansen used his Imperial citizenship to rejoin the army and become the captain of a cavalry unit.

After that, he made a career and rose again and again, gradually becoming a rising general and one of the legends in the army.

If Sir Hansen was from a Franco-downed aristocratic background, or even if he was from an ordinary commoner's background, with his merits and prestige, he would be able to gain more power and become a high-ranking general at the level of commander of the army.

But it turned out that his cage city background affected his future, and when he was transferred to the Imperial Staff, he was directly transferred to the General Staff Archives in Lan Xi, responsible for sorting out the archives, which was regarded as completely marginalizing him, so that he did not have any possibility of making military merits and continuing to be promoted.

Later, he was favored by Rupert Fitz, and when Rupert Fitz switched to the current King Philip, he also introduced him to King Philip, and he also gave advice and established a lot of military exploits in the conflict between the United Kingdom and the French Empire, and finally won the knighthood and the position of secretary general of the General Staff, which can be said to be a high power.

Compared with Sir Hansen's legendary experience of working hard from the bottom, Roger, as the deputy secretary general of the General Labor Union, is a lot more bland, he is also from Lanxi, he is an ordinary civilian, although his status is higher than Hansen, but it is not as high as there.

He graduated from Rupert Fitz's public free school in Lanxi, and after coming out of school, he entered Rupert Fitz's factory to work, and then worked and studied at the same time, and in the daily work of counting goods, he found that someone in the factory had stolen goods and took them out to steal and sell, so he told his superiors about it, and he was later promoted to work in the General Chamber of Commerce because of this incident.

After that, he also worked as hard as an ordinary clerk, leaving work on time, day after day, and with the increase in working years, his position was gradually promoted, and finally from the periphery of Rupert Fitz's power, gradually entered the inner circle, and finally became the current deputy secretary general of the General Labor Union.

Everyone who knows Roger thinks that he is an honest clerk with no ability, and Rupert Fitz asked him to be the deputy secretary general, but he only likes his honesty and can complete the things he is told to do on time and properly, so many people want to take his place, but no one has succeeded so far.

However, in Sylvia's intelligence information, Sylvia gave him a separate comment, and the comment was only one word, which was not a good word, an old dog! Yes, in Sylvia's opinion, Roger, as the deputy secretary general of the trade union, was an old dog.

According to Sylvia's meaning, if you don't use other means, but use political power games normally, then Roger, who is called the old dog, is definitely the opponent she is most unwilling to face, because she can't find any obvious weakness in this kind of person, and there is no chance to take him down in one fell swoop, and once the other party finds a suitable opportunity to attack, he will not hesitate to bite the target until the target is completely down.

Just like the Speaker of the House of Lords, both Sir Hansen and Deputy Secretary-General Roger are devout members of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

Roger's faith is passed down from his family, since his great-great-grandfather, his family has always been a believer in the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the first article he knows is the prayer of praise to the Lord of the Sky, so his faith is rooted in blood and bone marrow.

Although he had no dealings with Sylvia and thought that the church had gone too far this time, and it might be dangerous for him to be a mediator, his faith still drove him to agree to the church's request, and for the first time, he used Rupert Fitz's relationship to write a mediation letter, hoping that Sylvia could dispel the idea of revenge under Rupert Fitz's prestige.

As for Sir Hansen's beliefs, unlike Roger, he was initially an unbeliever like almost all people from Caged City, until one day he was seriously wounded and dying on the battlefield, and a clergyman of the Church of the Lord of the Sky carried him back from the battlefield to the camp and revived him, risking being drawn into the battle.

Since then, he has come to believe in the Lord of the Sky and has gradually become a devout believer, and he is also a member of the Redemption Society, and unlike the other two, this time he offered to act as a mediator.

Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, until this matter was not easy to mediate, after all, the Salvation Society was the heir of Sylvia, but the other party did not give any response like now, which was still a bit unexpected by him, so he would bring Deputy Secretary General Roger to discuss what to do next, and then notify the Speaker of the House of Lords after the discussion was completed.
