Chapter 148 Discussing Countermeasures

After Paul returned to Lake Town, he immediately summoned the confidants he believed to be absolutely reliable.

These people include: Chief of Staff Wackley Ford, Secretary of Intelligence Cecil, Chief of Staff Irving Schroeder, Commander of the Army's 1st Battalion Bryce Alder, Director of Logistics Ron , Minister of Equipment Kelly, and Philip, the old butler in the castle.

Ford, Cecil, and Bryce are all the old men left behind by the old Graiman, and they are loyal to the Graiman family.

Schroeder is old-fashioned and upright, adheres to the way of knights, and swears allegiance to him with honor.

Ron and Kelly have been servants of the Gleiman family since their ancestors, and Paul will not say a word no even if he asks them to go to hell.

As for Philip, not to mention, he has been regarded as a member of the Graiman family since he grew up watching Paul.

And the old housekeeper also mentioned to Paul that his life was saved by a wizard when he was a child, but Paul didn't believe it at the time.

He called these people into his office and asked the guards to guard the door.

Of course, the female consultant Ladi is also in the office.

Paul told them in detail what happened on the way to Port Fulan, directly stating that the person who attacked him was a wizard. He saw the other party's incredible ability with his own eyes, and mentioned the power behind the wizard-the secret law. meeting.

Before Paul had not returned to Lake Town, everyone had already learned through despatches that the Earl encountered an assassin on the way, but the letter only said that the opponent was highly skilled in martial arts and had sacrificed more than a dozen guards. , but there was no mention of wizards.

Controller Ford also sent people to block the streets when Paul came back to prevent him from being embarrassed when he saw the relatives of those soldiers who died.

Now they heard from Paul that the legendary things had come into reality, and they were all so surprised that they could not close their mouths.

The two soldiers, Schroeder and Bryce, were the first to regain their composure: "So, these guys can still be killed by muskets."

Manager Ford asked: "You just said that another wizard saved you, but where is the other person? Has he left?"

Paul said with a serious expression: "No, the wizard has not left. So what happens next? You must keep the content strictly confidential!"

He glanced at the female consultant who was sitting quietly in front of the window.

Nv Gu stood up slowly, "Everyone, I am the witch the Earl calls me."

The room fell into silence...

After probably going on for nearly a minute, someone finally spoke.

"No...isn't it?"

Bryce's eyes were wider than bull's eyes, and every muscle on his face expressed his inner disbelief.

"Aren't witches in legend supposed to be old and ugly? There are more wrinkles on their faces than elephant skin..."

The old knight recovered from his sluggish state and immediately pulled his hair. Pulling on his sleeve, it was too rude to speak like that in front of a lady, even if she was a legendary witch.

"Incredible...a living witch is standing in front of us!"

Cecil, Ron and Kelly glanced at the female consultant with surprised eyes, as if they were looking for her. There is something about Ladi that is different from ordinary people.

The calmest ones are Butler Ford and Butler Philip.

Mr. Butler has always believed in the existence of wizards because of his childhood experience. He was only slightly surprised when he heard La Di reveal his hidden identity.

Controller Ford is even more calm. As the second-largest person in the territory after Paul and the actual person in charge of the Government Affairs Council, he has already developed a strong psychological quality. One sentence is: "Taishan collapsed before but remained unchanged." The old manager said lightly: "This at least shows one thing, wizards are not evil as the legend says."
< br>

He stood up and nodded to the female advisor: "Miss Ladi, thank you for saving the lives of the earl and the soldiers."

Ladi quickly waved his hand and said: "The manager is very polite. , If it weren’t for the muskets of Lord Grayman and the guards, I wouldn’t have been able to fight against the wizard in my current state.”

Paul secretly breathed a sigh of relief, everyone’s behavior was pretty normal.

"The reason why I only asked a few of you to come here is because you are the people I trust most. I hope you will not reveal Miss Ladi's identity as a wizard, especially to the church. You all know the reason."< br>


Schroeder looked solemn, raised his right hand with his index finger and middle finger together, and read slowly: "In the witness of God, I swear on my honor as a knight! Unless it is personally ordered by Lord Graiman, otherwise I will never Revealing Miss Ladi’s identity to outsiders.”

With the reputation of a knight, this can be said to be a very heavy oath.

Others also imitated the old knight and swore with their most precious possessions.

Paul smiled bitterly inwardly, why were he so serious? He just emphasized that he still trusted these people in front of him very much.

"Okay, let's discuss the main topic, how to deal with this 'secret society'? According to Miss Ladi's speculation, they are probably brewing some conspiracy lurking in the northwest bay."

Intelligence Minister Cecil said: "My lord, I will ask my subordinates to pay attention to signs in this regard, but can the consultant lady help us?"

The female consultant immediately responded: "Of course, I am still The Earl and the advisors of the Government Affairs Council can consult me ​​at any time."

"Then I'll have to worry about Miss Advisor."

Schroeder asked the female advisor: "Except for the musket. Can't weapons like swords hurt you? Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not targeting Miss Ladi."

Ladi nodded in understanding and answered the chief of staff's question: "This is not a characteristic of the mage itself. But the effect of the magic he casts depends on the caster's mastery of the magic."

"The mage we met this time used a defensive spell called [Stone Skin Technique]. As the name suggests, it strengthens the body's skin to be as hard as stone. But the effect of [Stone Skin Technique] can be exerted It is rare to see a wizard who is so powerful and almost invulnerable."

"Coupled with the [Giant Power Technique] that makes him extremely powerful, he can face a group of people who do not wear heavy armor. , almost invincible."

Schroeder secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying that even without relying on muskets, most wizards can be killed if they are close.

Bryce suggested: "Master Graiman, it seems that we have to increase the production of muskets. It is best to have more than half of the soldiers in each battalion equipped with muskets. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. , if a large group of 'rare' wizards like Miss Ladi comes, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Cecil also said: "Combined with the pirates' drugs previously seized by the navy and La. According to Miss Ogi's description, they have a way to use some drugs to achieve magic-like effects. The pirates can easily deal with those that they eat. If the people who make the drugs continue to improve, they can achieve [Stoneskin Technique] plus [Giant Strength Technique]. That kind of effect would be very bad for us. Is this possible, Miss Ladi?”

The female consultant nodded: "It is possible."

"Yes!" Paul agreed with their statement, "I also agree with increasing the amount of musket equipment. What do you think, Mr. Ford?"
< br> Mr. General Manager stood up and said: "This is indeed a very important matter, and I agree with it. The Government Affairs Council will allocate funds for the expansion of the ordnance factory. In addition, the internal security forces must also be equipped with muskets without discrimination. After all, wizards may Mixing among ordinary people, we must pay attention to protecting the safety of you and the residents.”

“Very good, let’s do it like this.”

There are a lot of things tonight, so the quality of these two chapters may be. It’s not too high, so please be patient.
