Release that Witch Chapter 560: Unveiled
Just as he thought that the arson tool was easier to manufacture, personal guard left come in, "Your Majesty, envoy of Northern Lands want to see you."
It's only one day ... Roland was a little surprised, don't they plan to wait for Duke to send Echo news, but are ready to directly reject their request?
"Take them to the parlor," he instructed after a moment of silence, "In addition, notify Carter to block the diplomatic building and temporarily ban the envoy group from going out."
"Yes."
Since the other party ca n’t agree with the policy that they will implement, they have to force them to stay.
...
Roland entered the first-floor meeting room, but found that the person across the long table changed his seat. The woman who was supposed to be a Kohl assistant sat in the main guest seat, while Kohl held a book in the second seat. .
"Your Majesty, say hello, I'm the eldest daughter of Edith Kant, Eternal Night City Duke, and sister of Kohl." The woman stood up and gave a standard noble ceremony, "This is not the first time we have met, the last time Kohl forgot to introduce me I apologize for your identity. "
"Daughter of Calvin?" Roland first stunned, then could not help but raise interest, "So you are the leader of the envoy group?"
"That's right," she stroked her chest. "My father has entrusted me with full responsibility for this mission and handed me the Duke letter."
Women do not say no in this era, but they are very rare, not to mention a young woman with outstanding looks. From the look of Edith, it can be seen that she is obviously not the first time to deal with superiors, and she is impeccable in words and deeds. As for concealing identity, Roland has realized that this is a trick for the other party to attract the attention of negotiators, and she did not intentionally conceal it. She just borrowed the pretence of female to let people go into a misunderstanding. It is not fraud. Most noble only Think of it as fun. I have to say that this one really works.
"That is, can you make decisions on behalf of your father?"
"Yes Your Majesty, to be precise, he will listen to me."
It's really a confident answer. Roland looked at Kohl, which was reminded by scratching his ears, and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay ... Ms. Edith, what is the purpose of your request?"
Roland thought she would euphemistically say she could n’t accept such a condition, or took other more “interesting” methods to win back the new law herself, but she did not expect that she took a book from her shoulder bag and spread it out. Placed on the table -- is the brochure he wrote.
"I have some questions to ask you," Edith said bluntly, "You said that the noble will be eliminated sooner or later because of the continuous expansion of the central power, but without the assistance of noble, what methods can you use to ensure its effectiveness? How about managing the vast kingdom? "
This is ... want to discuss current affairs with yourself?
Looking at her sincere eyes, Roland realized that the other party was serious.
He hasn't heard such an interesting question in a long time.
"It's the people and the advancement of technology." He groaned for a while, and he answered.
"Do you mean those freemen? What is technological progress?"
"Yes, a management team trained by City Hall, paid by City Hall and provided by cost, City Hall with manpower and supporting facilities, does not require managers to have strong assets or rich manpower, so is it not noble? important. ”Roland began to explain the form of a centralized government and the promotion path of ordinary people, and then talked about the practical significance of technology on territorial control. This is one hour.
"How do you plan to avoid administrative malfeasance from Kingdom Capital?"
"After the unification of Greycastle, how should trade be distributed in various places?"
"Can productivity really be a measure of policy?"
"..."
The more you ask, the more sparkling Edith's eyes will be, and it's not until noon that she grows a sigh of relief, "So that's it, you really didn't write the opening phrase by hand."
Roland also drank tea with satisfaction. As a professional person who is not a counterpart, his knowledge of political reserves can probably only reach this point.
"Thank you for your answers, I didn't expect you would tell me this in detail."
"The most basic requirement for a new era of City Hall is to publicize the policy. We must let everyone understand the contents of the New Deal clearly, and it will not be weird to implement it."
Edith nodded and changed the topic, "Can you provide northern region with steam engine production equipment and personnel?"
"Personnel is not available at the moment, because Neverwinter City is also scarce, but you can send someone to study here, provided that Northern Lands noble renounces the encapsulation right and complies with the management of City Hall."
"Can the construction technology of Stream Ship also be taught?"
"Naturally, as long as you pay gold royal, these are not a problem. But without witch's help, it will be difficult for you to move the full production line to the north in a short time."
"Your frankness surprised me, Your Majesty," she thought for a while, "but I don't understand a bit. According to your plan, as long as you wait another ten years, you can easily annex the entire Greycastle, and then again There is absolutely no resistance to promoting the New Deal, and you don't need to care about our ideas. Why are you so anxious? "
Roland was silent, and it took me a while to say, "Do you really want to know the answer?"
Edith probably didn't expect him to take answer so seriously, and solemnly, "Yes."
"Come with me, then," he said, "I show you something."
...
Entering the tree-covered backyard, Roland and Edith entered the wooden shed in the middle of the olive grove.
The Devil with amputated limbs was lying flat on a long table, with various bottles and jars stacked next to it. Agatha was preparing for the final preparation of blood extraction.
"gods is on, what is this --?" Edith uttered an incredible low voice, but Roland noticed that there was only shock on her face and no fear.
"I should lock this shed, and let Leaf leak the water around the yard," Agatha frowned. "Don't tell me that you plan to let a mortal participate in Sigil production. If I am integrating God stone, it is estimated that it has failed It's over. "
"Of course not ... Immediately," Roland coughed twice and turned to introduce Edith. "The foreigner creature in front of your eyes is the legendary Devil. They appear in the north of Impassable Mountains, which is also the face of humanity. -- ’s biggest enemy, war between the two races has nothing to do with territory and wealth, but to decide who can continue, and the loser will be completely destroyed.
"Devil? The war decided to continue?" she muttered uncontrollably.
"Yes, this is a long story and a secret concealed by Church. It even goes back thousands of years. People in the past called it --" War of Divine Will ". "
