Chapter 86 The Council of the Interior

The small council chamber of Starlight Castle is not large. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only a few hundred square meters in size. The furnishings in the conference room almost all look old. It is estimated that Bireans is older. The maps hanging on the walls were the only new things in this shabby and old conference room.

In the small space is a long table, without any extravagant decorations, not even the slightest carving. Around the long crude table sat all sorts of people. Either a general in armor or a nobleman in a robe. And Princess Eve, sitting on a chair next to the upper seat. I'm afraid that this throne is the position of Duke Aceh.

Lance and Veronica, on the other hand, sat at the very end of the seat. Everyone whispered to each other. Guessing what the next meeting will be. And there are also people discussing why such a high-level meeting would allow two outsiders to participate.

A minister dressed in a white and purple aristocratic robe turned sideways, covered his hands and asked Princess Eve beside him:

"Princess Eve. What is the situation with the two of them, and why are they here for such a meeting? Miss Veronica, who is the heir of the healer knight loyal to our Idris, is a nobleman. What's going on with this red-eyed kid?"

Princess Eve smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Morgan. This Lance is a scholar friend I invited from Michrington. It's not like Hogan is not there. As the military commander of Idiris, I'm going to have to hire a magic translator, right?"

"I see. Chief Morgan glanced at Lance suspiciously, still not believing it.

At this time, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened. Duke Aceh walked in briskly, his blue cashmere cloak swinging behind him.

Seeing the Duke of Aceh come in, everyone hurriedly stood up. Lance saw that the Duke of Aceh seemed to be more tired than yesterday, and the dark circles on his eyes seemed to be painted with briquettes.

As soon as the Duke of Aceh waved his hand, everyone sat down: "Today is mainly to discuss one thing with you. Let me start with that. It was Miss Veronica Inlinger, the granddaughter of Sir Andre Inlinger, the heir to the knighthood of Leverice, and the future healer-knight. He is also the best healer of our Idiris. She is also my daughter's laurel sister......"

When Lance heard this, he realized that he was hearing Veronica's title in its entirety for the first time. It's just that I didn't expect Veronica's title to be so long. Lance knows that the longer the title, the more noble your status is. The last title, though, Lance was a bit incomprehensible.

Lance asked in a low voice, "Winnie, what do you mean by Sister Laureate?"

Veronica whispered, "It's the sworn sisters of the opposite sex, girlfriends, classmates." When it was time for Eve's coming-of-age coronation, I needed to escort her into the cathedral. For every aristocratic lady, there will be a laurel sister of the opposite sex. ”

After feeling a bunch of things about himself and Andre, the Duke of Aceh began to introduce Reims. Lance also quickly tidied up his clothes, and waited expectantly, wanting to see how the Duke of Aceh introduced himself.

However, the Duke of Aceh only said lightly: "This is Lance, a scholarly friend of my daughter Eve, who has come to help us translate the magic language." Okay, let's get to today's business. ”

Suddenly Lance's face was black, why does Veronica have so many definite embellishments. And he's just a scholar friend of Eve. It's a bit hurtful!at least add the Magic of Mihirington. Although it is fake, the Duke of Aceh does not know it.

"I've called you here today because Eve and Veronica have asked me a question. I thought it was important, so I called a few of you chiefs. Veronica, tell me about it. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. So saying, Veronica stood up and said:

"Yesterday I made an unexpected trip to the slums in the sewers of the port area and found that there were a lot of refugees and slums living there. The living environment there is extremely poor, with pests and rodents living there, and it is very easy to spread diseases. And I've already found patients with spotted fever. So I recommend clearing and disinfecting the site. Otherwise, the disease will be transmitted. ”

The Duke of Aceh looked at the stewards around him and said, "That's why I'm having a meeting today. Idiris, who had tasted the bitter fruits of the plague several times, had suffered heavy casualties. Luckily, Veronica found out about it this time. So we have to work out. Morgan, you're the head of the house, do you know the specifics? Where did these refugees come from? I don't remember that there were slums in the sewers in the port area. ”

"This, that, I guess it's the most recent arrival. I'm not too ...... either. Probably from ......" Chief Morgan looked at the Duke of Aceh, squeaking and not knowing what to say.

"Maybe?" the Duke of Aceh glanced at Chief Morgan and said with a hint of unpleasantness, "You know that it is a possibility? There is such a large gathering place of slums in the city, and you don't know what you usually do? Do you only know which merchant's opening ceremony you attend? I said why your belly is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Governor Morgan was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Lord Duke, although I am in charge of internal affairs, the person in charge of the port area is the Inspector August. He didn't report it to me!"

"August......" Duke of Aceh's displeased eyes looked at a bald aristocratic official on the side, "Then do you know the origin of these refugees?"

The aristocratic official named August on the side with a Mediterranean hairstyle was suddenly frightened, lowered his head, and said in a cold sweat: "I...... Port District ...... It's a mixed bag every day. I, I don't know. And I manage ...... while The port area, but the sewers should belong to the construction officer, Lord Ethan, not me. ”

Duke Aceh glared at the construction officer Ethan, he also broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head tremblingly, and tried his best to deceive himself, the Duke would not call his name.

When the Duke of Aceh looked at the cowardice of the construction officer Ethan, he knew that he didn't know either. The Duke of Aceh looked around, except for Veronica and Lance, who were sitting there upright, and all the other officials bowed their heads. From time to time, he glanced at the person next to him.

The Duke of Aceh sighed and said, "Sometimes I suspect that my meeting room is a pigsty. I saw that you people have long stomachs, but your brains have never grown. I should have opened the war orphanage here in the conference room. In this way, those orphans will probably be able to eat for nothing like you. ”

After being silent for a while, Aceh said helplessly: "None of you here really know? Morgan: You're the head of the house, tell me what you think. ”

Morgan, the head of the interior, blurted out, "I'll send a garrison to expel them from the sewers, and then clear the sewers." ”

"I'm afraid it's not right. Eve interrupted Master Morgan's words, "As far as I know, they are all refugees from the Kingdom of Normanland. They are also desperate to live in the sewers. Even if you expel them out of the sewers. Then they can change places, and there will still be health problems in that place, and you will be treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. ”

At this time, Ethan, the construction officer, blurted out: "Then drive them out of Idris!"

"......," said Princess Eve, glancing disapproving at Ethan, the construction officer:

"Ethan, the people have come in, tell me, where can you deport them, which country do you think will accept these refugees? I am afraid that they will also be deprived of Normanland's citizenship and then killed for treason. What's more, the Kingdom of Normanland is still in a civil war, and the refugee problem is a foregone conclusion. You expel some, but there are always many that cannot be discovered, and those people will become a greater hidden danger to society!"

Ethan, the construction officer, lowered his head in shame, and everyone was silent at this time.

The Duke of Aceh looked at his daughter Eve and asked, "Eve, what do you think of this?" ”

Eve held her chin in her hands, thought and said, "In short, they will definitely not be able to get out, unless they are driven to the land of the demons." It seems that we can only evacuate the refugees, not force them to come. I can't help it, but Winnie, Lance, you two talked to my father about it. You should have a solution. ”

"I'm just here to make an observation. As for how to solve ......," Veronica glanced at Lance.

"I know how to solve ...... reasonably"

Lance's voice wasn't loud, but it made everyone present feel extremely sharp. They all looked at Lance curiously.
