Noren sat in the carriage, holding a skewer of grilled lamb in each hand, and moaned happily.
“A-choo!”
Licinius sneezed and murmured, "Why do I have such a bad feeling?"
He was playing with a revolver in his hand and stuffed it into the holster at his waist.
After the series of social deaths in the ancient city of Hera last time, he has learned his lesson.
When facing a female enemy, he would not use the Ouroboros unless it was absolutely necessary.
This time when he came to arrest someone, he made himself a small revolver in advance to deal with special occasions.
This revolver is equipped with ordinary metal bullets.
Although the power is small, it is barely enough.
The main reason is that Irena is too smart.
Not like some stupid, savage woman who only cares about eating.
If Licinius fired a shot, the enemy would not only wail in pain, but his pants would also get wet...
"Hiss, that's horrible."
Li Xini murmured to himself: "I can fool Norn, but I can never fool Irena. If she knew that I have this kind of thing, my image in this life would be ruined."
"Master..."
Norn tilted his head and looked at him: "What are you thinking about?"
Li Xini coughed dryly: "It's okay, just eat yours..."
He looked down at his palms.
The girl who was like a white cat secretly scratched his palm when they parted.
Of course, this is not an idle suggestion.
Instead, he was asked to find an opportunity to sneak into the academy when conditions permitted.
Find a small empty warehouse and have a secret meeting.
"She is really good at..."
Licinius sighed.
Then he thought of something and ordered, "Amber, help me find out whether Irena Gugweier has left the academy recently, and what happened after she became the Sword Master's apprentice."
Chapter 125: Spring Medicine vs. King of Social Death
"By the way, there is definitely something wrong with Holy Trinity Seminary. Send more people to keep a close eye on them."
Licinius ordered: "Report to me their movements at least once a day."
Although in theory he can use the power of the Hundred-Eyed Evil God to divine all the information he wants, this cheating ability is not without limits.
First of all, due to the size of the alchemical matrix, the power that can move the gray fog will also change.
If he could obtain some information in advance and get closer to the truth, then the power of the gray fog used by divination would not be required so much, and the scale of the alchemical matrix could be reduced accordingly.
Amber said respectfully while riding on horseback, "I understand, Minister."
"In the future, unless it's a formal occasion, there's no need to call me minister outside, so as to avoid attracting attention when doing things in private. Let me think... just call me boss." Li Xini ordered.
"Okay, boss."
Amber was very obedient and deliberately reminded: "But I still need to remind you that your behavior today will definitely offend many people. In the future, you may be severely targeted."
Li Xini smiled calmly and said, "Is the Administration still afraid of offending people?"
Amber was silent for a second. "There is also internal competition in the Administration Bureau. It is possible that some people will have some evil intentions and unite with Trinity College or some members of the aristocracy to take this opportunity to push you to the forefront. At that time, you will become the target of public criticism and be surrounded by enemies..."
Li Xini said calmly: "But it can also be a winner-takes-all situation."
Her amber eyes shrank slightly. If before today, she was still on the sidelines about her new boss, then after tonight, all she had left was amazement and admiration.
Even if they are working in the Governing Council, most people have to consider their own interests.
Although this job does offend people, you can also maneuver it and make a profit for yourself.
However, the young minister in front of him was extremely ruthless, iron-fisted, and decisive.
He is not afraid of power and even dares to challenge the academy directly.
It's hard to imagine that he is only seventeen years old.
When Amber was seventeen years old, she was probably still doing odd jobs for the professors at Trinity Theological Seminary.
Dimon once told her that the newly appointed youth minister was no simple person.
Not to mention strength and qualifications.
With Dimon's many years of experience, the first time he saw this young man, he felt that he had an inexplicable aura, like a lone wolf on the snow-capped mountains, with ferocity and madness hidden in his calm eyes. As long as you dare to anger him, he will come up and tear you into pieces regardless of everything.
Although I don’t know where this young man gets the confidence to be the winner.
But he is definitely not a fool. Since he dares to say so, he must be prepared.
If you can follow a boss like this, you might really be able to embark on a road to success.
"I understand, boss."
Amber nodded and asked again, "Did you pay attention to anything when you were interrogating Sera's group?"
Li Xini said casually: "Just keep your hand."
Amber thought seriously for a second: "Which hand should I keep?"
Li Xini was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "As long as you don't kill them, it's up to you. A living person is always more valuable than a dead person. Ask the administrative department to pay more attention, as there may be people from the academic and aristocratic factions causing trouble in the next few days. Brothers, you've worked hard for a few days. After you solve this case, I'll give you some New Year benefits."
He paused and said, "Whatever the problem, I will take full responsibility."
Amber eyes brightened up. This was a boss who really got things done.

Tonight is undoubtedly an exciting night for the detectives of the First Inspection Department.
Unlike the previous meaningless overtime work, this time the suspect was finally brought to a secret prison for interrogation.
If the results can be reviewed, it means promotion and bonus!
This new inspector is really a ruthless person. This is only his first day in office. Most people would usually try to win people's hearts, paint a rosy picture for everyone, and consolidate their position.
But they didn't.
Without saying a word, he took his brothers to arrest people and caused a big disturbance at Trinity Theological Seminary.
Finally, they really brought the person back.
It directly gave them hope for the future.
In comparison, the previous boss was simply weak!
Of course, this doesn't mean that Miss Luciemia is incapable.
But this new young minister is so delicious!
After all, everyone needs to make a living, and if you can make people see an upward channel, it will be more effective than drawing a hundred pie in the sky.
This was also the first step for Licinius to establish his position in the Governing Body.
No fancy tricks are needed.
It is enough to just show results.
At this moment, the office was lit with warm candlelight.
"Master, are we going to sleep in the office tonight?"
Noren stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, leaning on the glass and overlooking the brightly lit city night scene.
Li Xini sat on a large chair, casually flipping through the information on the table, and said helplessly, "I can only live here for now. I originally planned to look at houses in the afternoon, but I encountered this kind of thing. Sure enough, Irena is just as we guessed, she just encountered some problems."
There was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes: "Some issues that are inconvenient to talk about."
Norren tilted his head: "Then why don't you take her out of the academy?"
Li Xini shrugged and said, "I want to, too, but she doesn't want to go with me. I guess she has some unspeakable secret. Besides, although we are strangers on the surface, it's actually a good thing. She can be my hidden person in the academy and help me do many things."
Norn stared at him: "So this is why you two are flirting with each other?"
Li Xini was unhappy: "What do you mean by flirting? This is called communication code, okay! If she is as proficient in Chinese as you are, then we can speak openly."
When Noren heard this, he showed a satisfied expression.
Well, the young master and I are the only ones who can speak Chinese.
This is a private language between the two of them.
"Then I'll go to the bathroom. I remember there's a shower room here."
She undid the bun on the back of her head, letting her long platinum hair fall down.
After a long day of traveling and a few fights, she wanted to take a shower.
"Go ahead..."
Li Xini smiled and said, "Do you need me to get you some clean underwear and panties later?"
Noren picked up a suitcase and turned around expressionlessly: "No way..."
After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.
"Oh, you're blushing?"
Licinius noticed that before she turned around, her cheeks were still flushed with an alluring blush.
So cute...
The office fell completely silent.
Li Xini stared at the ceiling thoughtfully and murmured, "This is the capital, the territory of His Majesty and the teacher. The safety of Norn and Irena should be guaranteed. I just need to continuously improve my status in the Governing Bureau and gain enough say to deal with the nobles."
"Well, there's also the family... Should I give one of Sera's hands to my mother as a gift?"
He flipped through the files and activated the Dark Eye again. "I don't know where Cyrus' files are. Where is he currently being held? How annoying."
Damn it, just because he couldn’t awaken and become the Demon King, now he has become a social animal!
It's twelve o'clock in the morning and I still have to work overtime here.
Licinius didn't even know how much his salary was!
I don’t know when His Majesty will hold the sacrificial ceremony.
I'm just waiting for you to publicly declare Xiao a traitor in front of the whole country.
Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of high heels tapping from the end of the corridor.
The sharp and rapid footsteps seemed to reveal a hint of anger.
Someone stood in front of the closed office door and turned the doorknob.
Snap…
The door opened a crack.
Licinius looked closely and saw a transparent glass bottle thrown in.
With a snap, the glass bottle shattered and pink mist gushed out.
There was a moment when Licinius' first reaction was enemy attack!
He subconsciously prepared to take out the Ouroboros from the gray fog, but the next moment he was stunned.
Because this pink mist is clearly the medicine of spring.
Licinius was a man who had studied alchemy after all, and he recognized the damn thing at a glance.
"Using spring medicine on me? Are you crazy?"
He was stunned for a moment, then understood.
