Release that Witch

560. Chapter 560 reveals

    Just as he thought that the arson tool was easier to manufacture, the personal guard walked the come in, “Your Majesty, the envoy of Northern Lands wants to see you.”

    This is the day…Roland was a little surprised. Didn’t they plan to wait for Duke to pass Echo, but instead prepare to directly reject their request?

    “Take them to the living room,” he said after a moment of silence. “Also inform Carter to block the diplomatic building and temporarily ban the envoy group from going out.”

    “Yes.

    Since the other party can’t agree with the policy that they will implement, they have to stay strong.

……

    When Roland walked into the living room on the first floor, he found that the person opposite the long table had changed seats. The woman who was supposed to be Kohl’s assistant sat in the main seat, while Kohl took a book and sat in the second seat.

    “Your Majesty, hello to you, I am Edith Kant, the eldest daughter of Eternal Night City Duke, Kohl’s sister.”The woman got up and made a standard noble ceremony. “This is not the first time we have met. The last time Kohl forgot to introduce my identity, please forgive me.”

    “Calvin’s daughter?”Roland was a glimpse first, and then he couldn’t help but raise interest. “So you are the leader of the envoy group?”

    “This is the case,” she said, “My father has entrusted me with full responsibility for the mission, and I have given Duke a letter to me.”

    Women in this era do not say that they participate in politics, but they are very rare, not to mention a young woman with outstanding looks. From the look of Edith, it is clear that she is not the first time to deal with the superior, no matter how words or deeds are. As for concealing identity, Roland realized that this was the trick that the other party attracted the attention of the negotiators, and she did not deliberately conceal it. She just borrowed the disguise of women to let people walk into the wrong zone. It was not deceiving. Most noble would only Think of it as a fun act. I have to say that this hand is really effective.

    “That is, can you make a decision on behalf of your father?”

    “Yes, Your Majesty, to be precise, he will listen to my opinion.”

    Really confident answer, Roland looked at Kohl, who scratched his head and couldn’t help but laugh.

    “Fine.Miss Edith, what is the purpose of your request? ”

    Roland had thought that she would euphemistically say that she could not accept such a condition, or that she would adopt other more “fun” methods to try to recover the new law, but she did not expect that she would take a book from the bag behind her and let it stand. On the table – that’s the brochure he wrote.

    “I have some questions to ask you,” Edith said bluntly. “The reason why you say that the noble will be eliminated sooner or later is because the central power is constantly expanding, and the assistance of noble can be reduced. What methods do you use to ensure effective management? What about the kingdom?”

    This is……Want to discuss politics with yourself?

    Looking at her sincere eyes, Roland realized that the other party was serious.

    He has not heard such interesting questions for a long time.

    “It’s the people, and the advancement of technology.”He sighed for a while, he replied.

    “Do you mean those free people? What is technological progress? ”

    “Yes, a management team that is trained by City Hall, City Hall pays salaries and administrative costs, and City Hall provides staff and supporting facilities. It does not require managers to have strong assets or rich staff, so it is noble. Important.”Roland began to elaborate on the form that a centralized government should have, as well as the way forward for ordinary people, and then talk about the practical significance of technology to territorial control. This is one hour.

    “How do you plan to avoid the loss of administrative officials away from Kingdom Capital?”

    “When Greycastle is unified, how should trade be distributed?”

    “Can productivity really be the standard for measuring policy?”

“……”

    The more she asked, the more glittering Edith’s eyes were, until she was close to noon, she just breathed a sigh of relief. “So that’s it, you really didn’t write the opening phrase.”

    Roland also drank a bit of tea with satisfaction. As a professional, his knowledge of political reserves probably only reached this point.

    “Thank you for your answer, I didn’t expect you to tell me this in detail.”

    “In a new era of City Hall, the most basic requirement is to publicize the policy. It is necessary to let everyone know the contents of the New Deal clearly and unambiguously. It will not be strange to implement it.”

    Edith nodded and changed the subject. “Can you supply the Steam engine production equipment and personnel to the northern region?”

    “People are not currently available because Neverwinter City is also lacking, but you can send people to study, provided that Northern Lands noble abandons the segregation and follows the management of City Hall.”

    “Can the construction technology of the Stream Ship be taught?”

    “Nature, as long as you pay gold royal, these are not a problem. But without the help of the witch, it is difficult for you to move the entire production line to the north in a short time. ”

    “Your frankly surprised me, Your Majesty,” she thought about the little meeting. “But I don’t understand a bit. According to your plan, just wait another ten years, you can easily swallow the entire Greycastle, then push the New Deal. There is no resistance at all, and there is no need to care about our thoughts. Why are you so eager?”

    Roland was silent, and after a while, he said, “Do you really want to know the answer?”

    Edith probably didn’t expect him to answer so seriously and solemnly, “Yes.”

    “So come with me,” he got up. “I show you something.”

……

    Stepping into the shaded backyard, Roland walked into the wooden shed in the middle of the olive grove with Edith.

    Devil, who had been cut off from the limbs, lay flat on a long table, surrounded by bottles and cans, and Agatha was doing the final preparation for drawing blood.

    “Gods are on, this is – what?”Edith made an incredible low cry, but Roland noticed that her face was only shocked and not afraid.

    “I should lock the shed and let Leaf leave the yard,” Agatha frowned. “Don’t tell me that you are going to have a mortal involved in Sigil. If I’m merging God Stone, it’s estimated to have failed.” ”

    Definitely NotIt’s all right,” Roland coughed twice and turned to Edith. “The foreigner creature in front of you is the legendary Devil, which is north of the Impassable Mountains and is the biggest enemy that humans are about to face – the two races. The war does not involve territory and wealth, but determines who can continue, and the loser will be completely destroyed. ”

    “Devil? Deciding the continuation of the war? ”She couldn’t help but mutter.

    “Yes, this is a long story, and it is also a secret that was concealed by Church. It can even be traced back to the millennium. People in the past called it “War of Divine Will.” ”
