In the tank?

Io couldn't help but frown slightly—some of Speaker Skasa's comments made her feel a little uncomfortable. Listening to him, he intends to make his "successor" dependent on external forces? As the speaker of the empire?

"What are you...... It's strange that the future speaker of the empire will have to rely on external forces, right?" Io was okay, Aisha glared back at Skassar, "You are speaking very irresponsibly!"

Skasa waved his hand and said: "You can't forcibly raise the personal strength of the heir in the future to my Cheng Dù, although I have average talent, I still have the accumulation of age, so I have the strength to deter Xiao Xiao now, but I can't always occupy this position, right?"

This is his own rule - the term of office of the Speaker is limited to a maximum of (9) years, and the maximum number of re-elections cannot be exceeded...... In the future, no matter how good the political performance is, he must step down. The reason for this is really because Skasa, who was the first president, was special......

You've lived for so many years, and if you don't let go, God knows if you're going to hold the position for 50 years or 100 years?

Considering that the impact was not very good, and that he had already made a gesture of "not loving power" when he staged the coup, Skasa had no choice but to do so. With a little bit of means, it is not a problem to be re-elected - after eighteen years, I believe that Shaliz can really take charge of herself.

"Doesn't it mean that the office of Speaker depends on voting, and you are so confident that Salith will inherit your mantle. Promoted to Speaker after you?"

Aisha's implication - you don't think you're doing things in the shadows, are you?

If this were to be known to Salith, with her character, she would not express her indignation in court. It's not a happy thing, but it's not a happy thing after all. That's a high-minded and arrogant lord, although he is no longer as young and vigorous as before over the years, and has become much more stable, but the arrogance in his heart is not there.

Skasa smiled and didn't say anything more.

He really didn't dare to say it. Now the relationship between his apprentice and Aisha is quite good, God knows if Aisha, who has never taken herself seriously, will deliberately put these high-speed sariss? Skarsa knew very well that if Shalith knew her little calculations, she would have to enter the Cold War phase again.

Skasa didn't say it, and Aisha was probably able to guess some.

[At the end of the day. Is it because of Yan Yu? Indeed, with the cause between the empire and that sword, Yan Yu himself was able to suppress the fortune of the empire to a certain extent. 】

Skarsa himself had been in the position of Speaker for 18 years, and if Shalith could follow him in office, even if she only worked for nine years, which was close to thirty years, it would be enough to dispel the doom that had accumulated in the empire for thousands of years.

"I never imagined that a momentary boom would last forever. Just like it is now. My strength and prestige certainly make it possible for me to stay in office. It's all smooth sailing, but what about the future? What should we do when the Speaker is no longer strong, when the empire itself is no longer strong? Ten thousand steps back, force has never been the first choice of diplomacy -- no matter what, rely on fists to speak and stand up with fists, that is the work of savage orcs and the like, although I can't say that there is anything wrong with this, but if humans follow suit, hehe...... Then it is not far from perdition. ”

“...... What you're trying to figure out is really not small. ”

Skarsa seems to hope that this decaying empire can continue.

"There is no way around it—after all, there are many ills in human beings compared to other races. As far as society as a whole is concerned, if it were not for the fact that there is such a behemoth as the empire supporting the center, and other countries are on guard against each other, there would have been wars and chaos. Although there are many small troubles, there are no particularly big wars, and I think it is still necessary for mankind to be a big country that is above other countries but not to the point where it is unmatched. ”

Io looked down and pondered for a moment, understanding the intent in Skassar's words.

She originally thought that Skarsa was a speaker who wanted to work for the good of the empire, and was therefore very unhappy with his behavior of relying on foreign aid from the power of the state. But now it seems that this is not the case...... As he said, when he steps down more than ten years later, no matter who succeeds him, in terms of strength and influence, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach this position.

When Skarsa was in power, it was just the time of his dismissal, and his way of acting was naturally on the hard-line side - and he had enough confidence and strength. However, pushing it back, is his set suitable?

Everything in the world can't be static, and in Io's opinion, the elves who have not changed for thousands of years have a dull aura that makes her unable to stay at all, so she can easily sort out what Skarsa is worried about - if he continues to do this according to his own policy, something big will happen.

After all, the empire is still a member of the human world, and in the current era when Skarsa is in power, it can still be relatively transcendent above it, but it is inevitable that it will be in harmony with the surrounding countries in the future. At that time, naturally, it could no longer be like now, and the person who was the speaker of the House of Representatives could do nothing more than those things in the hands of other politicians.

This is an essential and helpless transition...... Objectively, the only candidate who can achieve a smooth transformation in a short period of time is Saras, who has been by Scarza's side.

And why he "relied on" Aisha's strength, Io also knew at the moment.

Because Scamsa can't do certain things.

Thinking of this, Ai Ou could only sigh helplessly...... Even if he is as powerful as the mage in front of him, there are still many things he can't do, but these things can't be accomplished by personal force or the strength of the country.

Because it has nothing to do with "force", and has nothing to do with "profit".

[If you think about it, the time recorded in the scriptures.] It's been about the past few years, hasn't it? Could it be that this person is also aware of it? Hmph...... This is also very normal~ Looking at it this way, this person should be somewhat aware of the direction of the wind. That's why you're preparing in a hurry, right?]

Thinking of what the speaker of the House of Representatives had heard about in the past few years, after studying it carefully, he could only do the solution of "taking precautions".

"Saris knows that if you set a future for her like this, she will definitely not give you a good look. ”

"This kind of thing, when she got that kind of fate, she couldn't help it...... It wasn't anything to do with her, but it turned out like this. It can only be said that fate is like this. The cause and effect of Yan Yu's body had no possibility of channeling when she turned into a human form, and Shalith had such an unbreakable connection with her...... Wish I did. It's good that it's not self-defeating. ”

In an instant, the expression on Skassa's face almost changed several colors.

"Okay, let's not talk about this......" Skasa, who had a strange aura and a strange aura, hurriedly shook his head. Drove some thoughts out of my mind. "I don't know what this young lady is called?"

Being brought here by Aisha would not have believed the reason Aisha had previously announced. Even if this person had caught more spies in the imperial capital, Aisha would not be able to take advantage of the back door to meet her in the middle of the night - Skasa knew very well that Aisha was a person with a very clear purpose, and usually did not hesitate to take a big detour when encountering trouble. At the moment, she is obviously doing this with other intentions.

Moreover, from this seemingly ordinary girl, Skasa also felt a hint of threat - this person. You have the ability to really hit yourself!

Even if it's not as good as himself, it's not much different from himself!, and Skarza would never think carelessly. People who look younger than themselves can put themselves in the style of seniors.

"She?" Aisha turned to look at Io, reaching out and removing her hair ornament from Io's ear, "just an elf." ”

At the moment when the hair ornament was removed, an unconcealed natural aura permeated the room, and although it was faint, it was already able to be detected by those with keen senses. Seeing that Aisha took away the props she relied on to disguise, Io could only reveal her true identity.

"Give it back to me!"

"Obviously I made it for you......"

Skasa blinked, not reacting for a moment - he was in too much of a shock right now!

[God! Don't you think the emperor is messy enough? This is still an elf...... Looking at this posture, it is estimated that it has enough weight in the elven clan - this is not easy to do. 】

The elves have always been a hot potato that everyone has a headache for. In general, despite the fact that these elves have a decent personality, politicians are rarely willing to deal with these pointy ears. For no other reason, the identity and status of the elves are really taboo.

First of all, it is important to understand that under normal circumstances, elves rarely move around the outside world, and even if they do, those "big people" will still stay in the deep forest. So how can we get a glimpse of these elf bosses? It's very simple, when something big happens.

In the past, the most frequent reason for these high-level leaders to appear was the situation related to elven slaves...... After all, if it weren't for some natural disaster, only this kind of thing could touch the nerves of these elves. And no matter which country gives the New Year, I am afraid that they will not want to be "negotiated" - because the elves do not have so many twists and turns, and usually find the most manageable lord of a country very straightforwardly. Even if there is 10,000 reluctance in the heart, no one wants the matter that was originally moved to the point of being resolved by force, right?

Besides, the force of force to solve the ...... To put it bluntly, isn't it the elves who solved the problem by force? If a human country can make the elves back down, everyone will not worry about the threat of the demons.

But now, this seemingly careless elf is clearly not here to ask the teacher for guilt - that means that it is the second possibility, the one that is too bad to work......

- Something big is about to happen!

For a moment, Skarsa was full of excitement, and his heart kept beating drums. At this moment, he had no time to think about the exact identity of this elf (anyway, such a strong elf is definitely one of the few in the elf clan, and it must come from a lot of sources), and the whole person fell into the worry of the "imminent threat".

“...... Aisha, this Speaker of the Council, isn't there something out of the ordinary?"

Seeing Skasa's face constantly changing expressions, there was no one around. Even Io was shocked - she was very casual, but she didn't dare to mess around like this in this situation. Looking at Skassa's current appearance, Aisha can only step forward very unwillingly. Flew up and stuck in his crotch.

"Don't be ashamed!"

Skarsa immediately fell to the ground in agony, rolling back and forth, and in a moment his image was completely ruined.

"I said you must have done something wrong, did you?Otherwise, how could you be in a trance like this when you saw Io?" Aisha looked at Skarsa with disdain, if it weren't for the fact that he knew that this thing was a personal negative dog, Aisha didn't think that he had secretly hidden an elf slave to do such and such an enviable thing.

The words just came out. Io's expression turned cold.

Even if he was temporarily disconnected from the elves, Io didn't intend to let his people suffer outside and remain indifferent.

"Don't ...... Don't wronged me!" Skasa twitched in pain. I squeezed out the words, trying to clarify the black water that I was maliciously splashed by Aisha, "If that's the case, my expression just now should be uncertain and flustered." I'm afraid of being seen or something! I certainly didn't have that kind of expression just now!"

Obviously, what I have on my face is the compassionate worry about unknown dangers!

However, Io let go of his cold aura, and Skasa breathed a sigh of relief - this man is not an unreasonable person! Fortunately, Skasa knows how troublesome the rampaging elves can be - this is a hidden berserker race!

The elves are desperate, and the demons are afraid!

"I mean, you introduce me to an elf at a time like this. It's heart-wrenching!"

Aisha gave Skasa a disdainful glance if she hadn't done anything wrong. Why worry about contact with the elves? Come to think of it, Skasa may have done something that didn't get into the eyes of the elves.

That kid from Sharis used to be so black, it must have been Skasa's words and deeds...... Thinking of this, Aisha secretly made a note in her heart, reminding herself that in the future, she would have to do some ideological work for Saris. Even if she was trained by Skarsa as the future Speaker and needed to learn those methods, she could not follow in the footsteps of the old fox and become a little fox.

"Introducing the elves? no, no, no, I'm just here to introduce you to the 'Meritorious Whistleblower Spy'. Aisha casually thrust her hair ornament on top of Io's head, and continued, "As you can see, the plan has gone so smoothly, and even far exceeded your expectations, thanks to this righteous man with a burning eye!"

“......”

Io didn't speak, just shivered in silence. The sharp front of the hair ornament just now rubbed against Io's scalp and left a hot pain if Aisha had sunk a little bit just now...... Io knew exactly what Aisha was trying to say - ♀ ♀ obediently ♀!

So she didn't speak, just waited for Aisha to say something. She herself didn't have much disgust with being tossed between applause, and considering that Aisha would not harm herself, she came with Aisha Hu.

It's just bitter Skasa.

Although that scene happened between lightning and fire, and Aisha was also careless, and she didn't even make eye contact with Io, Skarsa was an old fox after all, and he could see the abnormality at a glance. Suddenly, a feeling of weakness and helplessness bloomed in his heart.

That elf definitely has a character who can turn the situation around with his own strength, such a person who can't be controlled by himself, and has enough influence to be born, he basically doesn't have any means to restrain and control him. Although Aisha is stronger, Skasa has a friendship with her, and her rules are very clear, as long as she doesn't do things that disgust her, she can still be guided.

Is the situation out of his control?' Skasa thought. However, he was also relieved - now the clouds over the imperial capital involve the interests of many parties, and Skasa also knows very well that this is absolutely impossible to become his own word, and it is normal for unexpected changes to occur beyond his control...... And for now, at least this factor that is not controlled by oneself is beneficial to oneself, which is already very good.

If a person is too dissatisfied, he will be damned.

"Is this your warning?"

Aisha pursed her lips rather disdainfully: "If I want to do that, I will force Shalis to come over to cheer you up and cheer you up...... So that she can take a closer look, how her teacher turned over her hands, and she will be the speaker in the future, she has to study hard, right?"

"This is the only one, please let me go!"

Skarsa's hair immediately stood on end, like a cat with its tail stepped on. For him, most things in the world can't make any waves in front of his eyes that have experienced thousands of years, but when it comes to "successors", Skasa can't be calm.

You can't do that like she does!

Skasa first had enough prestige and strength to be able to hold the scene, and secondly, he took advantage of the east wind of the coup d'état, because his vigorous and resolute posture is vivid, so his style can be more radical, and the people below will not be surprised. But when Shalith took over, things were very different.

At that time, it was necessary to act in a royal way and to be benevolent in order to transform the empire from what it was during the reign of Skasa......

"I have something to say!" (To be continued......)
