"We heard a little rumor in the imperial capital, the royal family, the Ministry of Finance, and the Salt and Iron Division are fighting for the right to cast the magic furnace." Sophia pulled Jonny to Rand and said a powerful message as soon as she came up.

"The Imperial Family and the Treasury Department?" Rand was a little strange, "Shouldn't the Treasury be subordinate to the royal family?" ”

"I don't know exactly how they are related, but Sherman comes to the Crucible Hall every day these days, let's not talk to the people in the Finance Hall casually, saying that they are all demons full of intrigue."

"It seems that even the royal family may not be able to control a super department like the Ministry of Finance." Rand sighed.

In fact, when he went to the Finance Department to install the magic furnace, Rand saw that in a place like the Finance Department, I am afraid that even the chief minister, the fifth grandson of the God Emperor, the legendary mage Henry Oak Augustus, and the chief secretary Frank Douglas, who is actually in power, cannot really have the final say.

Such a department is more like driven by greed and chaos, whether it is money or people, it is snowballing, until it is enough to affect or even hinder the operation of the entire empire, and it will not stop.

"I heard from his apprentice, it seems that the Ministry of Finance thinks that you are their assistant minister, and all the currency issued due to the new magic furnace should be issued by the Ministry of Finance, but the royal family thinks that your position is the assistant financial officer of the royal family, so you only need to be responsible to the royal family."

Jonny added, "But I think they're all about the same, and if you want me to say, it's better to let the Salt and Iron Division manage it, after all, the new order for 500 magic furnaces was made by them." ”

"How much?" Before Rand could speak, Cardinal shouted first, "This is an order from the entire empire?" ”

Sophia shook her head and said, "Excluding the various kingdoms, it is only the imperial capital and the direct territory of the empire. ”

The little cardinal was a little confused: "Even if these 500 units are installed in the entire empire's territory, this density will exceed the current Galloping Horse Plain, and there are so many leylines enough to squander the magic furnace?" ”

Sophia said with a smile: "But the Ministry of Finance has already started to issue magic furnace coupons, and it is said that the plan has been made, and it is waiting for Rand to start selling it after he takes office, and the aristocratic families who used to sleep with Sophia have come to inquire about this matter."

"It seems that the old mistake of the Ministry of Finance has been committed again, and it is ready to financialize the magic furnace again." Rand shook his head.

After the recent replenishment of seafood, Rant's magic pool has expanded significantly, and even the scope and intensity of his control in the divine realm have increased, in the past, he could only conjure up the most basic items such as food and tools, and in recent days, he has begun to try to change the layout of some rooms.

After several experiments, he found that if a room was closed, he could change the layout of the room and even slightly enlarge the area of the room after standing outside the door and thinking about every detail in the room.

Discovering this ability, Rand converted some of the restaurant's private rooms into bedrooms for himself and the girls to rest.

Wendy, Lili and the others ate something, and then went to sleep in their own rooms in the rest area, leaving only the mermaid Edith to stay.

"How's it going, are you happy with your room?" Rand looked at Edith's hesitant expression and thought she wanted to change rooms.

For the sake of the only mermaid girl, Rand found her a larger room with a small pool.

"I'm so satisfied, as your priest, I'm willing to do it for you," Edith thought for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty, Teacher Yalandro has come up with a way to deal with the sea monsters in the Ice Sea. ”

"Oh?" Rand came interested.

"You should know why the sea monsters, who couldn't enter the ice sea because the sea water was too cold in previous years, can enter in a big way this year, right?"

"I heard that an undersea volcano has erupted?"

"Yes, but it's not just that, even if there are a hundred volcanoes erupting at the bottom of the sea, it is impossible to affect the overall temperature," Edith directly refuted Rand's point of view, "The teacher told me that the mages of the Wave Temple have recently discovered that under special circumstances, the mermaid clan can also produce fire-type magic patterns, and this kind of magic pattern will affect the development of the sea god phase in the body, or the development of sea monster larvae,

The Kraken Clan overcame the temperature barrier by obtaining a high-grade ammonite with a fire-type demon pattern, which allowed their offspring to absorb the energy of the volcano as they grew and maintain the temperature of the surrounding sea water while swimming. ”

"Hmm...... In other words, not just this year, but every year in the future, sea monsters may enter the fjord from the ice sea, right? Rand understood that the Kraken was a new tech tree, not an accidental use of natural phenomena.

"One more thing," Edith said quickly, fearing that Rand would start dealing with those sea monsters, "not only the merfolk, but also the sea monsters are cooperating with the Terrans. ”

Hearing about working with merfolk, Rand instinctively thought of his relatives: "You mean the Marquis of Fiat?" ”

The mermaid girl shook her head: "It's not just him, many Terran lords on the coast or on the island are secretly following the Seagod Clan, and the new generation of Wave Temple Masters are also very keen to use the magic products of the Terran mages along the coast to enhance the strength of the entire Mermaid Clan,"

"So what you mean?"

Etrith continued, "I'm afraid that soon, the merfolk and sea monsters attacking from the icy sea will also use the Demon Pattern Cabinet! ”

"Oh, then I'm not worried, it's not unusual for them to have one or two magic pattern containers, but if they want hundreds or thousands of them, then it's no fun." Rand smiled and said, "You said that this kind of Terran workshop that supports the sea god, can you or Jenny know the specific list?" ”

Because of the hostile attitude of the dragons and the Poseidon clan, as well as the dragons' control of the Temple of Wealth and the Dragon Kingdom, the official level of the Human Empire has always regarded the Poseidon as hostile, and once Rand determines which workshop is quietly making magic products for the Poseidon, he can ask the imperial officials to shut down the workshop openly.

"My lord, the nobles have been with the sea for so many years, and they will never show obvious flaws," Edith understood what Rand meant, and immediately explained, "There are many pirates and smuggling ships scattered on the islands off the coast, and these humans are specialized in transiting between the sea and the islands, even the human empire cannot help them. ”

As for Jenny Galloper, she knew far more about the Hindukr Basin than she did about the coastal areas outside the Southeastern Kingdom. However, Your Majesty, I seriously advise you to let Jenny enter this kingdom of the gods, she is a very smart girl and knows the imperial capital very well. ”

"I'll think about it." Rand said this, but he was very conflicted in his heart, it's not that Jenny can't come in, it's just that there are too many people in line now, Cardinal wants to let Yuling and the four of them come in together, Gureya wants to let Daqira Wyvern and Britt Lanyuan in, Wendy suggests letting Uffy in, and Autumn Grass even suggests letting Agni in.

Originally, Rand's God Kingdom team was born out of his own core tent, and after Edith and Autumn Grass entered, this became his own divine court, but after Gurea entered, this place became a place mixed with various complex combinations of divine court, harem, and cabinet.

If it is feasible, Rand really hopes to completely transform the kingdom of God, at least into a small town or a composite building, through the division of space to achieve different functions.

However, now, although the place of the Kingdom of God is not small, the space is too single for so many people to enter, so Rand has postponed any new people from entering the Kingdom of God.
