Time passed quickly, a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and there were no more horrific murders or strange supernatural events in these days, and the castle was back to normal once again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The calendar in another world is similar to that of the earth, 365 days a year, 12 months, about 30 days a month, 4 weeks a month, 7 days a week.

Today is Monday, and according to the custom of this world, the aristocratic rulers on this day have to meet with the representatives of the people under their rule, deal with their problems, and administer their own domains.

In fact, every nobleman who owns a domain has a number of court governors to assist him in handling political affairs, and these people are generally called cabinet members.

It was half past seven in the morning, and Shilinya, Leander, and Turis had arrived in the hall of government for a small cabinet meeting, and at nine o'clock it was time to begin to receive the representatives from the corners of the world.

"Carol is the head of the palace spy and is in charge of our intelligence work, but you better not trust him too much, young lady. Shilinya was expecting to start this small meeting, but Leander suddenly said to Shilinya.

"When did we have a spy chief?" a cabinet member popped up out of nowhere, leaving Shirinya at a loss, and it seemed that such a member didn't sound like a good person.

After Alain's expedition, Shilinya became the regent of the Duke of Anjitan, acting as a duke, but Shilinya presided over a cabinet meeting for the first time and received the vassals or people who met with them for the first time. In the old days, Shirinya was sitting on the sidelines.

"Because there were so many things that happened a few days ago, as the head of the spy, he was sent by the Duke to investigate these things, so you didn't see the other party here, Miss. Turis, who was sitting next to him, explained to Shirinya.

"The reasons for not being able to trust the other party are simple, firstly, he is not the 'old man' who came with the Duke once, secondly, he is not from a clean background, and he has inexplicable connections with the members of the Thieves' Guild, and finally, the reason for this man's allegiance to the Duke is only for pure profit, and if the enemy offers a higher price, he will not hesitate to betray us. Do you understand?" Shilinya's confusion was answered by Leander.

"Understood. Leander's explanation was simple and easy to understand, and Shilinya could easily hear what the other party was saying. That is, the reason why the other party is not his own person.

"Why is this man so untrustworthy, and we still have to reuse him?" Shilinya didn't know why such a time bomb would want to stay by her side at all times.

"Because he's a local, and we're outsiders. Leander answered Shilinya's question with a wry smile, why didn't he know such a time bomb?

"When we took over more than 10 years ago, it wasn't kind to us, we didn't have a very good grip on it, so we needed to support a local like this to help us. But the person we are supporting is so talented that we have not been able to fully grasp it until now, nor have we been able to eradicate it. So that's where we are. Leander didn't hide anything from Shilinya, anyway, such a thing has become almost common knowledge in the whole Ankitan.

"Moreover, this man has almost become a spokesman for the local here, and there are a whole bunch of lords and nobles standing behind him, but Carol is also a two-way pleaser, he provides us with all kinds of information and provides information about us to the people behind him, so we need to be careful with this one. Leander didn't finish the shady, and Turis added one by one for Shilinya.

This spy manager is a double-edged sword! And a very potential backstabbing master! Shilinya is already feeling a great headache.

While the two of them were talking ill of a certain spy leader, the door to the government hall, which had been closed, opened, and Denton led in a fat middle-aged man in a robe and a shaved head.

This man had clean skin, no beard at all, a fat head made of horizontal flesh, and a pair of small eyes constantly surveyed everyone present, from Denton to the soldiers standing guard, past Leander and Turis, and finally set his eyes on Shilinya in the center of the table.

"Miss Shilinya, Carol greets you. The middle-aged fat man, who had hidden his hands in the wide sleeves of his coat, bowed slightly.

"Hello, Mr. Carroll. Shilinya pointed to an empty seat, "Please take a seat!"

The narrow eyes almost narrowed into a line when he laughed, and the eyeballs hidden behind this line never moved away from Shilinya's body. Such a vague look made Shilinya feel a lot of pressure.

"Ahem. Coughing slightly, Shilinya hoped that she could get out of the pressure of the other party, "Now that the personnel are here, let's start the meeting!"

"Lord Regent. As soon as Shilinya's words fell, Carol immediately said, "This is the information that my men have passed on to me, and I think it is very important for our next arrangements!"

The right hand, which had been inserted in the wide sleeve of his coat, stretched out from it, and attached was a letter that had been opened.

Leander wondered why this guy had suddenly become so active, and in the old days, this guy had always spoken without asking.

When Shilinya was about to take the letter, Turis took the lead in getting it. Carol, who was originally going to hand it to Shilinya, turned dark in an instant, but it only returned to normal in an instant, making Shilinya, who had been looking at the other party, wonder if she had a delusion.

"I guess......" Leander looked at Carol's face and felt very happy, in the past, he had always been quite unhappy with people outside this system, and today he saw the other party deflated, how could Leander be unhappy?

"Is the holy war over, or will it be a few years to go?" Leander asked, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the only thing that bothers everyone is the ongoing holy war.

However, Leander's guess did not match what the letter had mentioned at all, and Carol's fat head shook slightly with a contemptuous smile.

"The matter of holy war is not something that mortals such as you and me can decide, but a matter for the gods. With this contemptuous smile, Carol softly retorted to the powerful man in front of her.

"It was the situation of the civil war, which has changed dramatically now. Turis handed the letter to Shilinya, and his eyes indicated that there was no danger in reading the letter.

Originally, Shilinya thought that the people in the system couldn't get along with the people outside the system, but now it seems that they were nervous about what happened these days.

"The current Emperor Bag will not only be able to hold out until the next winter, but he will also have a good chance of killing 'Hermes'. Turis said with a grim expression.

"Is it?" said Leander, puzzled, "now the emperor can only obey the deployment of 100,000 men - of which the northern army that came with him is now less than half, while Philip has almost 400,000 troops, and the cavalry alone has 40,000, I don't think the other side will have any advantage once the winter is over." ”

The content of the letter was very simple, and after a quick reading, Shilinya was able to sort it out quickly.

"Now that the Emperor has the support of the northern princes, and has co-opted the giant tribes of the Northern Polar Winter Lands, an army of more than 200,000 is now heading south to Midur to support the war. Shilinya explained the contents of the letter to Leander, and in order to increase her persuasiveness, Shilinya handed the letter to Leander.

The contents of the letter were rather rudimentary, and the cause and effect of this incident were not mentioned, so Shilinya and Turis could only set their sights on this one spy manager.

The sunlight filtered through the glass roof above shone on the other party's Carol, always with a mysterious smile, making the other person seem unfathomable.

"Just as the Imperial Diet appointed Bag as Emperor, the Northern Princes voted for Bagh as King of the North at the recent Northern Council - Bagh and his wife are members of the Northern Princes, and they both have the right to vote and to be elected, I say, understand?" Carroll kept a smile of unknown meaning.

As for the Giant Tribe, it was Bag who assured them that after the war was over, they would be able to move inwards to settle in his northern territory and let go of the trade blockade on their tribe. Now, the Emperor had a mammoth cavalry - I don't believe Philip's 40,000 cavalry could compete with the mammoth. Carol gestured to the three of them.

If what the other party said is true, then the three dukes of Morris, who have always maintained a neutral attitude, will have to make their own choice, or continue to wait and see. However, if you continue to wait and see that side wins, you will have nothing to do if you want to divide the benefits.

"I think we're going to finish dealing with the matter of the Holy War in the West for the time being, right?" The matter of standing in line is not something that can be decided by the people present at all, so Shilinya can only postpone this matter for the time being, and let her father decide after the Holy War is over.

"Agreed. ”X2

One to three, Carol didn't say much, and sat in his seat with his eyes closed.
