Chapter 200: The New Consul
Leo ...... Miss Winnie ......trembled her lips and called Leo's name softly, with tears in her eyes, and rushed out of the crowd that greeted Leo, and plunged into Leo's arms, not caring about any shyness and reserve. Her hands were tightly wrapped around Leo's waist www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", and this real touch and the pounding heartbeat made her feel extremely happy and down-to-earth at the moment.
"Ahem, the nobles and inhabitants of Silverstone City welcome you, Honorable Lord, Your Excellency the Marquis of Leo!" Viscount Brontë ignored the black-faced consul Viscount Rubin Milne next to him, and after coughing lightly twice to warn Miss Winnie of the impact, he preemptively saluted Leo.
Viscount Ruben Milne led a group of officials and nobles of Silverstone City out of the city to greet the Marquis of Leo, and wanted to show his face in front of Leo to ease the relationship, but he didn't expect that Miss Winnie rushed out of the crowd and hugged Leo warmly, and then Viscount Brontë didn't take himself seriously at all, and preemptively opened his mouth to greet Leo.
Leo let go of Miss Winnie gently, and pulled Miss Winnie's soft tightly with one hand, but his eyes saw Viscount Brontë's actions. Leo sneered inwardly and saw Viscount Rubin Milne's face darken on the spot, and when Viscount Milne saw that the nobles of Silverstone City had no objection to Viscount Brontë's actions, his face became even more stinky.
But after all, he is a seasoned consul, and Viscount Milne immediately came to his senses, this is the time to welcome the Marquis of Leo, and to show the Marquis Leo with such a stinky face, isn't it uncomfortable for himself.
Viscount Milne's stinky face instantly turned into a happy expression, Leo couldn't help but praise this Viscount Milne is also a talent who is proficient in the art of officialdom, just this change of face and forbearance is breathtaking.
However, Leo did not pay attention to the subsequent compliments from Viscount Milne, and nodded directly to Viscount Brontë on the other side: "Thank you very much for your welcome, although I am trusted by Your Majesty and I will serve as the lord of Silverstone City in the future, but in the future, Silverstone City will need to rely on you a lot for political affairs." ”
Although Viscount Milne took the initiative to show favor, Leo did not give him a good face because of this. After all, Viscount Brontë has always supported him, and even for Miss Winnie, Leo has to support Viscount Brontë, and even Leo has already planned that he will inevitably rely on the Brontë family in the management of Silverstone City in the future.
And the Milne family, that was yesterday's yellow flower. No matter how powerful he was in Silverstone City before, now that Silverstone City has become his fiefdom of Leo, the Milne family is already in the past, and Leo is not seen by Leo at all. Besides, based on the previous grievances between Viscount Rubin Milne of the Milne family and his son Paul and Leo, it is already considered Leo's generosity and mercy to uproot the Milne family without falling into the ground.
The nobles present were also human spirits, and when they saw Leo's two completely different attitudes towards Viscount Brontë and Viscount Milne, they naturally understood that the officialdom of Silverstone City was about to change.
As everyone speculated, Leo's first edict after entering the town hall was to remove Viscount Ruben Milne from the position of consul, with Viscount Brontë as consul of Silverstone and Baron Duke as the garrison of the city. The two chief officers of the government and the army are held by the two brothers of the Brontë family, and when they look at Miss Winnie, who is a bird with Leo's fingers, the nobles don't understand that the Brontë family, which has been suppressed by the Milne family, has been revived.
After the appointment decree was issued, Leo handed over all the affairs of Silverstone City to Viscount Brontë to handle, believing that Viscount Brontë would take care of Silverstone. He took Miss Winnie to the Lord's Mansion, which had been empty, and which would become Leo's residence in the future.
Two lovers who have not seen each other for a long time always have endless love words, even if they are numb and boring, they are extremely beautiful to the ears of these two young people who are in love. Time passed in the love words of the two people, and even if he was reluctant, Leo could only reluctantly send Miss Winnie back after dinner.
When Leo returned to the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Yushige Hyakji was already waiting for him here.
"Young Master, Wieland has already gone to the Supervision Branch of Silverstone City to take over the affairs there, and Master Merlin is very cooperative to show his magic in front of him, successfully attracting his attention, just now, Wilander mentioned the matter of Master Merlin in his message to the Imperial Capital. ”
"Very good, fortunately, well done, we must keep an eye on Wieland and the people of the Supervision Department, and slowly release false information to lead them by the nose. Leo clapped his hands lightly and praised the achievements of the Iga ninja.
After Hyakchi Yushige left, there were two knocks on the door, and before Leo could speak, Mage Merlin pushed the door in.
"Dear Young Master Leo, I have cooperated well, enough to confuse that poor little guy from the Supervision Department. As soon as Master Merlin entered the door, he opened his mouth to ask Leo for credit.
"Well, Mage Merlin, you're doing a very good job, I don't know if you're trying to ......" Leo was a little confused, not quite understanding what Mage Merlin meant.
"Hehe, you're not a magician, I'm afraid you don't understand the pursuit of magicians, although you can live with ordinary people, but as a magician, you want to have your own independent place to study the mysteries of magic with peace of mind, of course...... It would be nice to be able to have your own magic tower. "Mage Merlin was not polite to Leo either, although he said it more tactfully, but it was obvious that he wanted to ask Leo to build a magic tower for himself.
"What...... Leo hesitated, it wasn't that he didn't want to build a magic tower for Mage Merlin, but according to the standards of the Alpha Continent, the resources required for a magic tower were simply astronomical, even if Leo made a lot of profits from the ceramic business established by the beggar soldiers and Ney, it was difficult to support the construction of a magic tower on his own.
The magic tower is so easy to build, and the Varu Empire has only one magic tower owned by the Royal Academy of Magic, and the magic materials and resources consumed in it are enough to make Leo vomit three liters of blood. On the mainland, only the Lorraine Kingdom, which is backed by the Dragon Mountains and is extremely rich in magical resources, has the capital to build many magic towers, and has attracted many magicians to come to the continent with its magic.
However, Leo has just disabled the magician group of the Lorraine Kingdom, and has become a hated figure in the Lorraine Kingdom, not to mention buying magic materials from the Lorraine Kingdom, I am afraid that it is very dangerous for the caravan sent to reveal its identity in the Lorraine Kingdom.
