No one would be surprised if such a straightforward remark came out of someone else's mouth, but as a man who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, it was the first time that he had criticized the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom in front of so many ministers.

Collier was visibly stunned when he heard Sir Bipp's words, stared at the other man's wrinkled face, and then turned his gaze to the others with alarm... Suddenly, the old mage found that in this office, no one would speak for Sir Edwin.

At the same time, he also found that no one in this office could be connected with another person... In other words, this office will not be a tool for anyone or any group, it will only serve the king.

The cold sweat unconsciously harassed Cowlier's cheek again, causing him to raise his hand to wipe it, but no one noticed him now, for at this moment everyone was thinking about Sir Bipp's words.

"If you feel that Sir Edwin Filming, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has a problem, you should write a detailed report to your Majesty... Instead of complaining like a child in front of us. As the direct person in charge of the office, the old orc Morinda said very politely: "As the prime minister of the government, you need to understand what the words you just said represented. ”

"I'm going to take responsibility for every word I say, even if Edwin Filmin is here, I won't change my attitude. "Sir Bipp has his own dignity as Prime Minister of the Government, and although he will not challenge Morinda Morinda in office, he will not change what he says because of a word from the other side.

"Then keep your opinion to the right place and at the right time, for we are only listening to Sir Collier's account of his information, and the Office will not make any conclusions about anyone involved in this information until there is definite information. ”

After Ba Morinda finished speaking, he turned his head and pointed at Collier and said, "Continue what you didn't finish." ”

Sir Bipp and Sir the Old Orc, the current heads of the kingdom's two major departments, had never been at odds with each other before, but now the sudden confrontation immediately attracted everyone else in the office.

Cowlier is naturally like this, and when the two are competing against each other, he even forgets that he is the fuse of the confrontation between the two. So, he didn't pick up the Morinda at the first time... Until the eyes of everyone in the office looked at him again.

"Ahem!ahem!" The old mage who reacted subconsciously coughed twice to hide the embarrassment he had just faced.

"I'm not sure you'll find a problem with Sir Film, but I reckon he knows a lot of secrets. Perhaps impressed by the conversation between Bipp and Morinda Morinda, Cowlier said in a low voice before proceeding: "As far as I know, he once participated in and personally directed the smuggling activities in Balan for a certain period, but recently because of the strict investigation of the police department, he revoked all smuggling activities... At least, on the surface, he hasn't been involved in any smuggling in the past three months, and you won't be able to find out before. ”

"But he still has a problem, and it's a big problem. "The police department has set up a special file for Edwin Filming, and has secretly investigated many of his problems, but these investigations have been limited to overt investigations, and nothing has been found.

This even led many people in the police department to think that Edwin Fellin was an innocent businessman, but Hanina didn't think so, because she knew too well what it took for an ordinary aristocrat to become the hottest rich man in the kingdom in just twenty years.

"Don't expect me to help you get to his point, that's all I can say. Cowlier spoke as soon as Hanina's voice landed.

"Edwin was able to take over the position of Treasurer of the Territory after Baron Aemond's resignation, and it wasn't because of you!Why, now he is so anxious to get rid of his relationship with him?"

"Do you think that in my capacity, I can influence the appointment and dismissal of the Kingdom Chancellor?" Cowlier smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Maybe not now, but before..."

"Baron Hanina, you've gone too far. The old orc's muffled voice interrupted the confrontation.

"It was a great show today. Elven General Drahier put down his teacup and looked at Collier, "Your words don't reveal disdain for Edwin Filmin's betrayal of his best friend, but what are you doing now? I feel sorry for the so-called 'friendship' of the three of you!" With that, he walked out of the office that made him uncomfortable without looking back.

De La Hir's words directly shattered the image of Ling Ran that Collier had just erected, but he was not wrong. Edwin Filming's betrayal of Sir Marat was due to the choice he made between 'friendship' and self-interest, not as he called it a last resort.

At this moment, Cowlier is also making his current choice after weighing the pros and cons.

Yes, it's just a choice, a selfish choice to think only of yourself.

"I'm sorry, I had to leave too. Goblin Omić only appeared here because he was here to participate in the daily meeting, and he looked at Syrah-Marne as he left, "Sir Marne, the laboratory has made a new weapon that is not wrong, you will definitely be interested!" His big uncoordinated eyes rolled and his hands made a slightly exaggerated gesture, "This weapon is easy to train, and even a farmer can easily kill an archmage who has been immersed in the law for decades!"

"With such a weapon?" said Cilla Marne's eyes, and the others looked at them in dismay.

"Of course, I vouch for what I just did with my credibility!" Omich slapped his little chest vigorously.

"Your credibility is of little value, though. Sira Marne stood up from her seat, "But I have time this morning, and if your new weapon can impress me before lunch today, I can place a batch of orders in the afternoon!"

"You're going to be tempted. Omich turned to the side of Sira Marne, who was walking over, and very gentlemanly invited her to go first, and when Sirah Marne approached, he immediately said: "We still have a cooperation that we want to talk to the military department, a cooperation that will not lose money." ”

"Oh, yes? A sure-fire business, would you cooperate with someone else?"

"Collaboration makes more money!"

"What kind of cooperation is it..."

As the two walked farther and farther apart, the voice of the conversation became quieter and quieter, and the awkward scene left by Drahir was resolved.

"I need to know the contents of Sir Marat's letter to you, not a word can be mistaken. Hannina stared at Collier, "Don't tell me that the letter has been ruined, with a magician's memory, it should be easy to remember every word of the letter... Not to mention such an important letter, it is impossible for you to be clever and not leave something. ”

Collier chuckled under his breath, his smile at the moment seemed to be self-deprecating and as if he was mocking Hannina, "Don't provoke me with these words, I'll give you back that letter." ”

"Baron Hanina, you haven't forgotten your majesty's orders, have you?" Sir Bipp raised his eyebrows, "the police department is not allowed to take care of this case, what are you trying to do with this letter?"

"I didn't investigate Sir Marat's case, I just received a report from Sir Collier to investigate possible cases of corruption at the top of the kingdom!" Hannina lowered her eyelids and drank the water on the table in one gulp, then looked up and looked at Sir Bipp, "Why?

"If you take Your Majesty for a fool, you can do so!" said Sir Bipp, in a cold tone.

Hannina's hand on the table shook slightly, and then, in order to hide her momentary embarrassment, she picked up the cigar and put it in her mouth and smoked it vigorously.

"Sir Bipp is right when he says that the police cannot intervene in Sir Marat's case in any way. The old orc's words were full of warnings, "This is what we agreed on yesterday. ”

"If the Prime Minister's government doesn't support the police to investigate this case, your agents won't even be able to get out of Crewe City. Sir Bipp then said, "If you want to come hard, I will set up an inspection team to go to the police station on the pretext of investigating the expenses, and let all your officers play with us... When the time comes, things will make a big fuss and alarm His Majesty, see how you end!"

"Very interesting threat..."

"This is not a threat, Baron Hanina. Morinda sighed, this time on the same side as Sir Bipp, "I don't understand why you are so obsessed with investigating this case yourself, does that mean anything to you?"

"They assassinated Saike-Marat right under my nose!"

"Even Your Majesty can put up with this breath for a while, why can't you?" the old orc stood up and walked slowly to the window and leaned against the window, letting the morning sun shine on him, "I think you should have something else to hide from us, and from Your Majesty." ”

"That's a serious accusation, Sir. Hanina took a deep breath, "You..."

"I heard you've been looking around for a bachelor of medicine lately, and you're having a health problem?" Bipp put the cigar in his hand on the ashtray, stared at Hanina after dispersing the smoke in front of him with his hand, and asked, "If your body is in trouble, you should report it in time... It's not just your problem, it's the whole kingdom's problem!"

Hanina immediately denied, "I'm in good health, I'm a paladin, and the Holy Power will repair any wounds in my body." ”

"I have a proposal, Baron. Leaning against the window, he withdrew his gaze from the morning sun, and slowly walked to the public area of this huge office, and sat down on a sofa at the end of a neatly arranged row of sofas.

"Give this letter to Baron Aemond, I'm sure Baron Aemond will take care of this. The Morinda leaning back on the sofa met Hanina's gaze and said his advice.

"A good recommendation. Bipp nodded and looked at Hanina, "You should probably consider... No, it's not a matter of consideration, it's that you have to. ”

"Baron Aemond, can he be trusted?" Baron Hannina deliberately put a very worried look on his face, to remind Morinda and Bipp that he did not trust the man who was about to become the supreme governor of Harrence Province.

An old man's wise smile appeared on Bipp's face, "Why didn't Your Majesty choose any one instead, so Baron Aemond chose to replace Seke-Marat as the supreme minister of Harrence Province, and still asked him to return to Crewe City to report first?"

"Baron Aemond worked with Sir Flyn many times when he was mayor of Balan!" Cowlier did not participate in yesterday's meeting, and he really did not know about Baron Aemond's appointment, and listening to the conversation between the three of them at this moment made his heart shake, and he was secretly frightened by His Majesty's methods.

"And... In recent months, Baron Aemond and Sir Flynn have exchanged letters much more frequently than before. "The old mage was already sure in his heart at this moment that Baron Aemond was His Majesty's man, and his so-called ally Edwin Filin was already under the King's watch!

No... Not only Edwin Film, but others are also under His Majesty's watch...

And among these people is himself!

Cowlier was shocked by his conjecture and broke out in a cold sweat while his hands began to tremble, and he hurriedly put his hands under the desk in a panic to hide his embarrassment at the moment.

"It's a lot more interesting. The old orc Morinda couldn't help but whisper, and as soon as the words came out, he felt speechless, and immediately looked at the other three and said, "Do you think Your Majesty will not know about the connection between Baron Aemond and Sir Edwin?"

"Restore that so-called letter!" Hannina looked at Cowlier, "and I will personally deliver this letter to Baron Aemond when he returns to report on his duties." ”

"Remember to kick me for keeping a secret, you promised. Collier couldn't help but remind.

...

Yekgyel Military Port,

The port city, which had been surrounded by undead legions on this narrow coastline for months, was rapidly declining from its fledgling prosperity.

Every day, many families go bankrupt in order to eat a full meal, and every day, countless citizens ignore the sea ban and secretly set up ships to escape the hellish port city, but all of them are captured by the werewolf navy patrolling the sea.

Later, it was discovered that staying in the city prison could still get a small piece of dry bread and a glass of fresh water every day, so the endless crime cases continued to occur, turning this originally safe and secure city into a complete crime city.

The daily riots kept the city authorities busy and disrupted Morinda's initial plan to quickly take over the city's management. In the end, it was the city authorities who came up with an order for Morinda ... They gathered the troublemakers together, distributed their equipment, and then moved to the east of the port city to fight the undead legions in the Drake Forest!
