Chapter 899 The Devil’s Trace!
After speaking casually to cover up for the thin-skinned maid.
Brand waved his hand and asked the servant to start serving food.
Under the temptation of the delicious food, everyone who had just received the award and was still overjoyed did not ask any more questions and quickly turned their attention to the delicious food in front of them.
Brand also came all the way to sit next to Catherine and Hisali.
While chatting and joking with the library members at the same table, I also leisurely enjoyed the food.
When we were done drinking and eating, we saw that the fireworks outside had not stopped yet.
Everyone also left the table one after another, wandering around the mansion to eat and take photos.
Several lords originally considered taking this opportunity to talk to Brand about the various proposals and positions at the noble meeting.
But because Brand has always been surrounded by many ladies.
In the end, they seemed to be dragging Brand into some secret activities again, and they disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, the elders had no choice but to prepare to talk tomorrow.
The next morning, several elders gathered at the pavilion of White Spirit Lake.
After asking the servant to summon Brand, he asked him to come over to discuss business matters.
What surprised them was:
The person who was invited was not Brand, but Chris, who was appointed as the [Chief Executive of Morning Flower Collar] last night.
I saw several elders with doubts on their faces.
Chris smiled and explained:
“My lord rested late yesterday, and his current condition is a little bad.
In addition, the meeting of nobles Most of the various issues are in my area of responsibility
So if your lords, the earls, don't mind, today I will represent the lords in discussing matters related to the subsequent noble meeting. ”
Hearing this relatively formal wording, several elders couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows.
It’s not a big problem that Brand didn’t sleep well. We’ll talk about it later. It's not impossible.
But what do you mean: most of the topics are [areas you are responsible for]?
I guess there will be a lot of doubts among the elders
<. br>
So before they could ask, Chris further explained:
“During yesterday’s award ceremony, my lord appointed me as the [Chief Consul of Morning Flower Territory].
< br>According to the position description written in the appointment letter,
except for the military and the lord’s internal affairs, I will be responsible for all other matters
Lord. The adults only need to review, supervise and control the general direction of the territory's development
So if the earls don't mind the slight difference in my status.
Rather than approaching my lord to discuss these matters, it may be more appropriate to approach me directly.
I know better than the lord on these matters, and in most cases, he will not veto my suggestions. "
Hearing the explanation of such words, the expressions of several elders became a little excited.
Then, Mr. Romien said with an unhappy look:
< br>
"Brand's laziness is not a day or two anymore. It's not a big deal for you to participate in discussions on his behalf.
These are your elders, no one will mind the identity issue.
But you don’t need to drink a ‘Lord’, right?
Did Brand give you some kind of ecstasy?
Also, why is Brand so happy? The land gives you such power?
Has he finally come to his senses?
Are you planning to marry into my Romine family? "
Hearing this, Chris shook her head and said:
"After all, I am here on behalf of the lord as the chief consul of Morning Flower Leader.
So it is necessary to pay due attention to the issue of title.
As for the rights I have, they all stem from the Lord's broad mind.
Even if there is no relationship such as blood or marriage as a bond, he is still willing to give me full trust! "
Hearing this explanation, Mr. Romien raised his eyebrows in surprise, while Mr. Holland frowned slightly.
In the world of aristocrats, power is The granting of power is always something that needs to be carefully considered
Not to mention the granting of [huge power] that involves all aspects of the territory!
——In their view, Brand’s behavior is obviously out of consideration!
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Romien guessed:
“Brand will not be unaware of the stakes involved, and he does not seem to be such a rash person.
Did you sign a strict position restriction contract? "
Speaking of this issue, Chris smiled and skipped some of the details, nodded directly and said: "I am Romi after all. It is natural for a descendant of the En family to sign a contract restricting their stance
So when it comes to handling daily official duties, I will make judgments and decisions entirely from the perspective of Chenhualing.
There will be no undue bias. "
After receiving Chris's affirmative answer, Mr. Romien suddenly said:
"If that's the case, it's barely justified. ”
After the question was answered, Mr. Holland knocked on the table lightly, then smiled and said:
"Then let's start now.
The day after tomorrow is the meeting of nobles, this matter It’s not good to delay any further.
In fact, in addition to the empire’s stance on development matters, we are also going to talk about the demon clan.
During this time, according to Bu. Demon clan information sent by Rand
We also sent people to conduct an investigation in the Human Alliance, and then found some clues.
It seems that some demon clans have a certain degree of connection with some of the upper-class nobles and even members of the royal family of the Human Alliance Kingdom! "
Hearing this, Chris couldn't help asking solemnly:
"I wonder if this kind of relationship is a cooperation where each gets what he needs? Or maybe he was bewitched by the demon clan?
Or, both? ”
Mr. Holland shook his head and said:
“Because the time we discovered it was relatively short, we are still confirming this!”
……
Bu Rand's side.
Because I played late with the ladies last night.
When the time approached noon, he slowly got up from the warm and soft bed with a sleepy look on his face.
After stretching lazily.
Brand began to change clothes and wash up, and then tasted breakfast under Catherine's service.
While diligently serving Brand for dinner, Catherine also talked about matters that required Brand's attention or processing:
"Master, in the morning, several elders wanted to invite You went over to discuss the meeting of nobles
Because the young master was still resting at that time, I told Chris about the matter.
She has now replaced the young master to discuss relevant matters with several elders.
In addition, Hisari sent the first list of pre-recruited guards.
Waiting for the young master to conduct the final interview with them.
Hisali will sign a trial contract with them as the captain of the guard.
And incorporate them into the reserve members of the Lord's Guards and conduct relevant training. "
After hearing this, after thinking for a moment, Brand said:
"Chris knows how to handle the matter of the noble meeting, so we don't need to interfere too much.
As for the interview of the guards, what is their strength and combat experience? ”
While wiping the corners of Brand’s mouth, Catherine responded:
"Most of them are actual participants in the Northern Expedition. They are under the age of forty, 22 in total.
Most of them are ordinary legionnaires who have completed their war service tasks, and a small number are Holland
The reserve members of the German Knights are mostly at the level of senior knight apprentices to junior knights, and there are also a few young and potential intermediate knight apprentices
Hisali has already learned about them. The combat effectiveness was actually tested, and they all passed."
Hearing this, Brand said:
"I should be free tomorrow afternoon, let's set the time at that time.
Do you have a maid here to interview?"
Katherine shook her head and said:
"There are already enough servants in the current mansion, so there is no need to recruit any more.
As for the castle in the territory in the future.
Since I still have plenty of time, and ordinary maids don’t need to check their qualifications, I plan to talk about it when the time comes. "
Hearing this, Brand nodded in approval.
Up to now, there are people responsible for handling various matters, and there are not too many things that require his continuous attention.< br>
When the noble meeting is over, he should be able to focus on the design of the wind element environment of the lord’s castle with his teacher!
Brand also felt a little embarrassed when thinking about this! Looking forward to it.
