Chapter Seventy-Three: Annoying Public Representatives (Part II)
Although there was no lack of ridicule among the representatives of public opinion who met with them, these were only a small number of people, and the vast majority of them were normal people, and the demands they put forward were also normal and reasonable demands.

At halftime, both sides can now rest for a while to recharge their batteries for the next reception.
"Why, I only see the people from the Garvian Church, but not the Church of Leverry," Shilinya asked, puzzled, as she ate the snack brought by the servant.
Among the five gods of the empire, the church of the god of time and space, Serfrod, is a mysterious organization separated from the masses, and this holy war has nothing to do with him; Zenise, the god of labor and commerce, has no church, and the cohesion of believers is relatively low; Luo Wei, the god of love and love, has a church, but the main function of the church is to officiate weddings for the people, and there is no armed force of its own. In addition to these three, only Jia Weiwen and Raffydeon are the most powerful, and they are also the main force of this holy war.
Because the Benedictine bishop is the representative of the two churches together, his ideas are the ideas of the two churches. Leander explained to the other party that the representatives of the people who came today are a group of difficult guys, and although Leander has many years of experience in dealing with them, he still feels very troubled by this group of people.
The halftime break was very short, and the reception of the representatives was still going on.
"Next. "There's Shirinya, who is weak.
When Shilinya looked up again, she saw an acquaintance.
"Laros...... "The person who came was a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with Shilinya, and he was also the former affairs officer of Alain, but after the end of the first battle of Cold Creek, the other party stayed in Cold Creek to help his father manage the affairs of the castle, and I don't know what the other party is doing today.
Unlike the knight who saw the spirit of sunshine at the beginning, Laros now stared at two large dark circles under his eyes, and the original golden curls were found to be mixed with a few silver threads.
The usual greeting had already annoyed Shirinya, and in fact, almost everyone who visited wanted to get straight to the point, but these traditional etiquette did not allow them to do so.
"After the First Battle of Lengxi, there are a large number of warriors' corpses that have not been adequately disposed of, and due to the inconvenience of transportation, the lords have not had enough time to transport the remains of these warriors back to their hometowns. Although it was winter and the corpses were not decomposing too quickly, the corpses still attracted a large number of corpse-eating creatures and some necromancers, and now the corpses of these warriors have been defiled, and their souls have not been exceeded, and they have returned to the gods......" Laros gushed out, the other party's expression did not look like a fake, and it seemed that the other party was really worried about the problem of these corpses.
"Didn't you bury the corpses, then?" asked Shilinya, who seemed to remember that when she left, she had to bury them on the spot except for some corpses that were to be brought back.
"The corpses I said are the corpses that the various lords need to transport back, and the corpses that need to be buried are too numerous, and we don't have too many people to carry out this work, after all, the Leng Xi Territory has experienced a big war not long ago, and now the manpower is scarce......" Laros reluctantly answered the other party's question, this war, the most heavy loss is the Earl of Leng Creek, and it is difficult for his territory to recover in a few years.
"How many people can we provide for each other?" Shilinya asked Leander and Turis softly, these two were in charge of all personnel arrangements in the territory now, and as a regent, Shilinya didn't know much about it.
"Fifty is the limit of what we can offer, including ten soldiers. "Turis reported to his eldest lady the number of people that could be used now, and Alain had taken almost the entire duke's army with him, and although it was subject to the weather, it could only be transported in batches, but these troops that had not yet set off could not be mobilized.
"Okay......" Shilinya looked very helpless, as a regent, she can only mobilize fifty people now, which is really cold.
Shilinya was about to contribute all her strength to her comrade-in-arms, but Leander on the side hit Shilinya's shoulder several times.
"Don't be impulsive, now we can't move the city defense troops at will, these fifty people are our limit, don't give each other a brainstorm, we have to leave some people for backup. Leander, who was very experienced in dealing with the world, immediately saw that his eldest lady wanted to give some special care to his comrade-in-arms.
"Well...... "The landlord's family has no surplus food! Brother has wronged you."
"Now I can provide you with five soldiers and twenty workers to help you deal with the corpses that have been piled up in the Great War, is that okay?" Shilinya came from that war, and how fiercely the two sides fought in the Battle of Cold Creek, Shilinya saw in her eyes.
It is estimated that there are about 5,000 corpses that have not been disposed of, but they have to be wronged by those who helped to bury them.
"I would also like to have the help of a few of the priests of Leverdeon...... "A request was fulfilled, and Larose immediately made a new one.
"You communicate with the people in the church!"
The last comrade-in-arms left with regret, as the person who suffered the most losses in the war, and now some of his reasonable demands cannot be fully satisfied, presumably the other party must be very disappointed, right?
"Next!"
"Miss Shilinya, hello......" The gentle and ethereal voice attracted Shilinya, who bowed her head and blamed herself, as if she had heard it somewhere.
He has long straight purple hair, deep purple eyes, and wears a close-fitting sweater and casual clothes. A young girl stood silently, missing with a faint smile and her hands folded over the hem of her skirt.
"Gilly?" it took Shilinya a while to recognize the other party, wasn't this the young maid in the Magic Guild?
"I'm glad Miss Shilinya recognizes me. With a grateful look in her eyes and a hint of tears hidden in her eyes, Shilinya was overwhelmed by the eyes of this maid......
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Shilinya changed her self-reproach and was refreshed, as if she wanted to do her best to meet the needs of this girl.
Leander and Turis looked at the beautiful girl in front of them in confusion, not knowing what the relationship between the other party and their eldest lady was, and they could make their eldest lady instantly energetic.
"Actually, I wanted to apply to be Miss Kayla's guardian. The fingers that overlapped the skirt swayed involuntarily, as if to express the nervousness of its owner.
"Aren't we here to deal with political affairs? why are all the applicants coming here now?" Gilly's request surprised Shilinya, who seemed to be not what she was going to do today!
"There have been so many things going on these days, and now Kayla's guardian has not been decided, I originally wanted to arrange it directly, but everyone is shirking, so I have to post a notice to recruit people. I think the other party should have seen the notice today, so he came, the notice recruiting people is actually the lord to deal with government affairs" Leander is also helpless about this matter, Kayla has not had a guardian to take care of for several days, and this middle-aged man who is also the head of the palace is also very distressed about this.
Not only Leander, Shilinya is also very distressed about this, her sister has been pestering her for several days, making Shilinya's life unpeaceful, although the other party is relatively well-behaved and quiet, but it can't hide the fact that the other party is still a bear child.
"Miss Gilly, do you have any previous experience in taking care of children?Can you read and write?Do you know some knowledge of etiquette?" The choice of a guardian of a noble child is not arbitrary, these are very picky and elegant, otherwise, Leander can use the method of "there must be a brave man under the reward" to find a guardian.
"Yes, I used to be ......" Shilinya's question, Gilly did not panic at all, and began to introduce herself constantly, a declining nobleman of Nekov, his father was a captain, and he had a good aristocratic education, but his father was killed by those pirates when he went to sea once, and after the holy war began, he immediately fled to Anjitan for refuge and so on.
Gilly's introduction, everyone present listened to it and found several loopholes.
"How did you manage to run from Nekov to Ankitan alone in the cold of winter?" The first to ask questions was Carol, who had been keeping her eyes closed, and if it weren't for this conversation, Shilinya would have wondered if the other party had come here to sleep.
"I'm a mid-level mage, and my father also taught me some basic swordsmanship, so I was able to avoid dangers on the road. In order to make her words more convincing, Gilly also took out the badge of an intermediate mage from her clothes and showed it to everyone.
Carol looked at it carefully, and then showed with his eyes that what the other party was holding in his hand was not a fake, but a genuine badge.
However, this spy manager finally wanted everyone to shake their heads, expressing their doubts about the other party's statement.
Even if the other party is an intermediate mage, if he wants to survive in the cold and snowy wilderness, this is a very difficult matter. Because being alone is not only facing the threat of cold, but also facing all kinds of dangerous creatures in the wild, including wild beasts and wandering undead and corpse-eating creatures.
Carol's family words do not represent everyone's thoughts, Shilinya and Leander and Turis discussed a little, and decided to temporarily hire Gilly as Kayla's guardian, and only turn into a regular after the observation is satisfactory in the future.
