It's been half a year since Sherlock was put in a blood prison.

And it has been half a year since Franklin became emperor.

This is certainly not a coincidence.

In the past six months, the political leaders of the entire ancient Roman city have basically formed a new team, most of whom have been selected through the political achievements of the past 20 years.

Most of these people have no political background, and there are no so-called factions and teams, and in the 60 years that Augustine the Great has been in power in the empire, he has infiltrated almost every department of the empire, so [talent] and [achievement] have not been so important political capital for a long time, and the important thing is whether the newcomers who have stepped into politics can fit into this imperial machine that has been tightly operating for 60 years.

However, now, the new king of the empire is himself a person without any political foundation, and the energy, military, financial, productivity and many other major changes he has brought about have brought the empire into a new world, which has led to a major change in the original political system.

In fact, as long as the king is replaced, then a major change of leadership is inevitable, and according to historical experience, this should be a long-term and bloody project.

And the main reason why the blood exchange efficiency is so fast this time is that Augustine the Great died

The 'Wild Demon Controllable Experiment' is the capital that can compete with the old emperor, the 'investigation of the London airship crash' is an important factor in forcing the old emperor to abdicate voluntarily, and the earth-shattering assassination completely announced the end of the Augustinian Emperor's regime.

In fact, the original intention of this series of events, in Sherlock's view, has nothing to do with the Transposition Ceremony of the Empire, but he did prompt Franklin to become the new emperor of the Empire very smoothly.

Then this voice comes from the gratitude of the Imperial King, and he can afford it.

"You should know that although I participated in this translocation ceremony, before that, I was only engaged in energy research."

This handshake lasted about five seconds, sincere enough, but not too abrupt, Franklin put his hand down cleanly, and then said gently:

"I have only been in office for half a year, and I have not yet adapted to the kind of logical thinking that is unique to politicians.

So let's get straight to the point

In my opinion, killing Augustine the Great is the right thing to do for the Empire, the old man's solid political system is completely detrimental to the Empire's counterattack to the gates of hell, and from the perspective of the Imperial Law itself, he really deserves to die.

But beyond that, all your actions have caused damage to the stability of the Empire.

Fortunately, the information blockade is well carried out, and there is no need to worry about the death of that old man causing too much turmoil to the empire for the time being.

But even so.

You will still not receive any awards, let alone any medals or honors, and even this matter will be sealed forever, and your actions will not leave any traces in history. ”

Mr. Franklin's tone was still mild, but it may be that the position of 'Imperial King' itself has a huge majesty attribute, so after this passage, people can't even think of any rebuttal.

But Sherlock is no ordinary man.

He just smiled:

"Of course, my esteemed majesty.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether what I have done can be known to the world, and I even prefer that the government can help me continue to hide it, after all, it will save me a lot of trouble.

But there is one thing that I need to emphasize.

Augustine's massacre of nearly 40,000 Imperial citizens required an official government announcement.

I don't care about the timing of this press conference, but until the whole world knows the truth about this case, I won't let that old guy be buried in peace.

I know that his body is still lying in the cold storage of the funeral home, so he will have to lie down forever.

If one day I find out that he secretly held a funeral as a great imperial king, then I will go over and dig him up with my own hands and put his body in the sun. ”

Sherlock's tone was also calm.

In this small room, the two men were so unabashedly discussing the assassination of the emperor and the issue of the emperor's reputation after his death, which was a little too harsh.

In particular, Sherlock's request sounded simply arrogant to the extreme, and besides, standing in front of him, but the new king of the empire, didn't he know to be more restrained?

However, Franklin was silent for only a short moment, and then nodded:

"In the past six months, I have also asked some people what kind of person you are, and now it seems that most people's evaluation of you is quite pertinent."

He was smiling when he said this, in fact, he had expected Sherlock's request, otherwise it would not have been possible to delay the burial of the old emperor indefinitely, which was to some extent a show of favor and respect for Sherlock.

And that's when .

"Knock~Knock~Knock~"

There was a knock on the office door.

"It should be my butler." Franklin explained to Sherlock before letting the people outside the door walk in.

The door opened, and standing outside was a housekeeper about 60 years old, although he was a little older, but he was straight, well-dressed, and even a trace of aristocratic bearing could be seen between his eyebrows.

And the butler still had a thin envelope in his hand, and when he entered the door, he did not speak, but bowed respectfully to Sherlock, and then walked to Franklin, handed the envelope in his hand, and left.

When the door closed, Franklin opened the envelope and took out an emblem engraved with the head of a lion and an eagle:

"The highest level of reward recorded in the Imperial Law, with it, you will be treated with the same level of etiquette as the 'Elder of the Imperial Council' in most places."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed the medal to Sherlock.

This move made Sherlock raise his eyebrows, and then looked at the medal with more interest, but he just remained polite and did not reach out to take it.

"Your Royal Highness the Emperor, didn't you just say that it is impossible for me to receive any reward?"

"Of course, you didn't wait for death in the blood prison to thank the Holy Light." Franklin responded, "So, this is for you in my personal name."

Don't get me wrong, I just admire you as a person.

And, when you get back from the front, remember to give it back to me. ”

Sherlock: ".? ”
