Ai Qilu walked out of the hot spring, wrapped herself in a bath towel, walked to the room, pinched the flesh on her stomach, and said with some distress: "Mei Luke, I've only been here for two weeks, and I've gained a few pounds." I'm skipping dinner tonight, just have some cooking. ”

Mei Luke was combing her long black hair, and said, "It's a pity. Maisie said that tonight she will eat hot pot, including beef and mutton purchased from the Fairy Forest, matsutake mushrooms and mushrooms picked from the Forest of the North, fresh fish caught from the Luoshui River, and lobsters purchased from the human territorial area......

Agiro swallowed, regretting the words. Suddenly, her mind turned and she said, "Isn't hot pot just cooking?" That doesn't matter at all. ”

In the evening, Mei Yi ate hot pot with several staff members who lived in the mansion at the restaurant. Everyone stared closely at the dishes tumbling with the gurgling bubbles in the hot pot, their eyes did not blink, and when Mei Yi said that it was okay to start, everyone waved their chopsticks unceremoniously.

As a result, Aqilu was able to eat without any surprise, and Mei Luke helped him back to his room to rest.

Mei Yi and Illya walked slowly among the pompom-like snowflakes, and the cold moonlight shone on the already partially frozen Luoshui River. Illya said, "Meiyi, have you decided to go?" ”

Mei Yi said: "Well, otherwise there will always be a pimple in my heart." ”

Illya said, "Have you figured out the consequences?" ”

Mei Yi said: "Hmm. If it's a big deal, he will be dismissed. Now that Sombra is on the right track in all respects, I have nothing to worry about. Ai Qilu and I have traveled a lot together, and I have learned a lot from you, and I have lived up to the queen's wishes. I owe no one but Kira. I don't want to owe her anything. ”

Illya smiled: "It's quite cruel for the newlywed Yan'er to not be together." ”

Mei Yi pouted and said, "Lord Shenzi, you know what you said very well. You're the future pope, so you shouldn't be talking like that, right? ”

Illya chuckled: "Although I am a clergyman, I have received a serious and old-fashioned education since I was a child, but I am also a woman, and I also have love in my heart. Don't just think of me as a wooden man who can only memorize teachings, okay? ”

Mei Yi said: "No, in my heart, you are the warmest person in the world." If you are not the Pope-elect...... Forget it, blasphemy against the Pope is a capital offense. Don't worry, I'm just not talking. ”

How could Illya not hear what Meiyi meant. Her face was a little hot, and she said softly, "I won't care." The feeling of being loved is always good. Thank you, I will always remember this time in Sombra. ”

Mei Yi smiled: "It's good that you have a good time here." ”

* * *

At the first closed-door meeting of the lord's mansion after the New Year's holiday, Mei Yi said casually: "In the past six months, all the subjects of Sombra City have also done a lot of things, and it seems that it is time to be knighted, so as to buy people's hearts." ”

There was a burst of ecstasy in the hearts of the ministers, and they all smiled happily, thinking that the great lord had opened his mind and knew that he had bought us.

Illya couldn't see clearly: Mei Yi insisted on going to the True Spirit to confess her marriage to Kira to the king and queen, and it was likely that she would be dismissed by the king, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to divide the title at this time—the king would probably suppress them.

Meiyi shouldn't ignore this.

Mei Yi said again: "It's a pity, I'm just a viscount, and I can't get any decent titles." So, I decided not to block it. ”

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom all of a sudden, and Evelyn hurriedly said, "Lord Lord, think twice." You can still do it if you are a baron or a knight, we have all severed the vassal relationship with the previous lord, and now we don't have any titles, even if we are in Sombra City, they don't take us seriously when they go to other jurisdictions. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Mei Yi said, "But I still think that some people's knighthood or something is too low to recognize their great contribution to Sombra City. I need to think about it again. ”

"Eloro, you will propose a list of knighthood proposals with the ministers. Whether male or female, noble or commoner, elf, elf or human, public official, merchant, farmer, workshop owner or artisan, as long as those who have made outstanding contributions to Sombra can be knighted. ”

"Yes, teacher."

Ai Qilu carefully wrote down Meiyi's instructions in her notebook.

Even though she had been in Sombra for a while, Caroline still couldn't understand some of Meiyi's thoughts. She knows that Meiyi usually pays attention to listening to everyone's opinions, but once she decides on something, it is difficult to change it.

But this time she couldn't help but say: "Meiyi, can any profession be divided?" Wouldn't it be true that merchants, peasants, and workshop owners could all become aristocrats? Do you think aristocrats should have noble character, tenacity and dedication? ”

Mei Yi said: "Cang Liao is full of etiquette, and he knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." Hungry, no one can maintain noble character, tenacity of will, and dedication, and I think you all know how crazy a person can be when hungry. It is immoral for the aristocracy, who sucked the vast majority of society's resources, to accuse the commoners of mediocrity, vulgarity, and cowardice. Don't think I'm talking big, I'm really starving to death at the Flower Spirit Academy. ”

Caroline was speechless.

As soon as Evelyn opened the door of the conference room, Dieai rushed over, and when she saw Mei Yi, she said breathlessly: "Lord Great Lord, the lower lord of Giant Wood City, Count Philos, led two thousand people to invade Sanshan County to burn and loot, Sanshan County is powerless to resist, and Lord Alice urgently asks for help!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they were suddenly confused, trembling all over, and they all looked at Meiyi.

Those weren't bandits, they were regular elven troops.

When Mei Yi heard this, she became angry and said angrily: "Damn*, these bastards actually dare to bully the head of Sombra City!" Flynn, you immediately lead the standing army of the mansion to Sanshan County, and I will immediately go to Nancheng to gather troops to deal with you! ”

Flynn ran out of the conference room like an arrow and shouted, "Mansion Standing Army! Urgent gathering! ”

Illya's face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked, "Meiyi, do you have to go?" In the past, the elves and goblin officers were all involved in driving away the invading thieves and the scattered elven armies, and if you came forward, others would definitely criticize you......"

Mei Yi said coldly: "Someone must be this bad guy!" I know what you are worried about, it is nothing more than the fear that the elves and goblins will sue me, the great lord of the human race, and that the true spirits will be suspicious of me. However, a person who thinks about everything for himself is not worthy of being a great lord at all! ”

After speaking, Mei Yi jumped on the horse led by Mei Fan and galloped towards the southern city of Sombra.
