"What are you all looking at me for?"
The old man yawned and said calmly, "Your Highness Petunia, I can't control the Bureau."
Penny, the blonde girl, smiled and said, "Old Dean, let's be frank. Valerius Licinius is a student of Trinity Seminary, and also your student."
Dean Hodel continued to play dumb, spreading his hands and said, "He is my student, yes, but his identity is the First Auditor of the Administration Bureau. Constance is seriously ill, so he is the acting director. I am an academic, how can I control him?"
Princess Penny frowned. "Are you going to watch so many laid-off workers starve to death on the streets? What about their wives and daughters? And what about the soldiers in the army? If this continues, there will be a rebellion."
Dean Hodel curled his lips secretly.
In recent years, Archduke Joachim has instigated many rebellions behind the scenes.
"Rebellion, mutiny, now that Your Majesty is away, if these things happen..."
Her Highness Penny said seriously: "Old Dean, you should know the consequences."
"After all, the Empire has just experienced a war, and the Crescent Moon Church, to which the Messiah Holy Church belongs, has just lost several archbishops in the capital. This has caused great pressure on my work."
She said: "The identity of the second generation of Night Watch Owl's dark magician has not been resolved, and we are now facing serious diplomatic problems. Do we really have to sacrifice this hard-earned peace?"
Cansius glanced at his daughter and smiled with satisfaction.
As your Majesty's uncle, he is now the Secretary of State who holds great power.
What happened at Benson Manor was completely intolerable to him.
At that time, he had to be timid due to the circumstances, but it is different now.
That ignorant kid must pay the price!
The council chamber fell into a dead silence, except for the absence of the Barrons and Valerius families.
At the end of the long table, there is a crystal ball.
In the illusory light and shadow, there was a middle-aged man with white hair and beard, standing in the tent like a lion. His aura was as fierce as a sea of fire and swords, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.
Josiah A. Via Salvatore.
"well… "
Dean Hodel rubbed his brow and sighed.
This kid is too noisy.
No one noticed that a golden light suddenly appeared behind the old man.
The gravekeeper watched all this calmly without saying a word.
"I really didn't expect things to develop to this point."
Dean Hodel sighed in his spiritual thoughts: "Is he going crazy for Norn?"
The gravekeeper remained calm and responded calmly, "Revenge is his personal choice. But if he does not consider the consequences before taking revenge, and only does it to vent his own selfish desires, then he is not a qualified night watchman and cannot assist Your Majesty and lead this country to true glory."
Dean Hodel asked casually, "What should we do now?"
The gravekeeper ignored him.

No. 57 Zebra Street.
Jeanne picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
"I think I understand."
She said calmly, "It turns out that all this was a conspiracy by Grand Duke Bern. I'm sorry, Mr. Valerius, if I had known about you back then, I would not have sat idly by."
Li Xini sat opposite her, crossed his legs, and said with a smile: "It's okay..."
For an hour, the two people spoke frankly.
Licinius briefly explained his own life experience, including the truth about the extermination of the Frostian family, concealed the affairs of Valerius's family, and then revealed some plans and purposes about the Twilight Monastery.
"Grand Duke Bern and I are mortal enemies. He killed Norn's mother with his own hands and wanted to control her as a puppet. I cannot tolerate this no matter who it happens to."
Li Xini paused and said, "What's more, the one who was injured is my girl."
Jeanna was silent for a second. "Sometimes, human greed is endless. I also cannot tolerate such atrocities. Is it just for the property of the Frostian family and the feather of the goddess of light?"
Li Xini hummed, then pushed out an iron box.
The iron box was bound by chains, releasing a soft light.
“Is this something from the Vatican?”
He smiled and said, "Do you need it?"
Jeanna shook her head and said calmly, "Mr. Valerius, please don't let me see this thing. Since the Frostian family paid the price of their lives for it, it should belong to Miss Noren. I can pretend not to see it, but please don't let it appear in front of me again."
Li Xini raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled silently and put the iron box away.
"Mr. Valerius, I sympathize with what you and Miss Nolen are going through."
Jeanne said solemnly: "The Valerius family and the Grand Duke of Bern have indeed committed too many crimes, but if you intend to pursue revenge in this way, then..."
"Have you ever thought about how your actions will damage the peace between the two countries?"
“Including those poor, helpless laid-off workers,” she said.
It is a recognized common sense that the Grand Duke of Bern cannot be touched.
His Majesty is so powerful that killing him is as easy as killing a chicken.
But why didn't he die
It’s because of the Valerius Chamber of Commerce in his hands.
Sometimes, power and authority are equal.
There are many things that are beyond our control.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that there is another reason behind the aristocratic faction, namely, Grand Duke Joachim.
But it's that serious.
If this continues, a large number of civilians will be laid off and lose their income.
What will they do
The answer is riots, looting, and zero-dollar shopping.
Including the soldiers stationed at the border, what should they do in the absence of military funds and supplies
Once the army loses its morale, mutiny is likely to occur.
All I can say is that Grand Duke Bern's monopoly plan was very well done.
So much so that this country simply cannot survive without him.
If Licinius wanted revenge now, he would face unprecedented resistance from the entire country.
"I have thought about it," Licinius said calmly.
Jeanna was slightly startled, and looked at him with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"To be honest, if Bourne hadn't played this trick himself, causing his Valerius Chamber of Commerce to seem like it was going to collapse and causing large-scale layoffs, I might not have been able to bring him down."
Li Cini smiled and said, "I have some business sense, but it's just average. I can't even keep up with the people in the Finance Department in making money, and I'm far inferior to Grand Duke Bern in business tactics. But Grand Duke Bern laughs at me for not understanding business tactics, and I laugh at him for not understanding alchemical technology."
Jeanna hesitated for a second: "Alchemical technology?"
“Yeah, Alchemy Technology, I couldn’t beat him on the old track, but on the new track, he’s not even qualified to lick my shoes.
Since he blew himself up, announced that the Valerius Chamber of Commerce was about to go bankrupt, and drove away a large number of workers, didn't this create a vacancy in the market?"
Licinius spread his hands and said, "If the workers are not laid off, how can they find new jobs? Besides, coming to me has a better future than working at the Valerius Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Valerius Chamber of Commerce is privately owned, while my place is state-owned. The workers are the masters, the people are the masters, and we all start a business together."
Jeanne had no idea what he was saying, she just felt that this man’s aura had changed.
He sat on the sofa, lazily and casually.
For a moment, it was like he was the Holy Father, standing above the clouds, overlooking all living beings.
"He sells muskets? I sell hot weapons. He sells milk, I sell yogurt. He sells brown bread, I sell sandwiches. He sells a communication mirror, so I upgrade the communication equipment. How can he fight me?"
Licinius raised a finger and said, "Miss Jeanne, remember what I told you? Instead of giving a poor person a fish, you might as well teach him how to fish. From today on, a new era is coming, because I will not only provide them with jobs, but I will also teach them how to survive and how to fight."
He paused, his eyes reflecting the afternoon sun, and whispered softly: "It's time to let those idiots see the power of the people. It's a pity... I will be cursed for all eternity."
But it’s okay…
Your Majesty will soon return to the capital.
The new era that was promised to her is about to arrive.
Just think of it as a surprise for her.

The wind brought the sound of the distant sea tide.
"What the hell is this place?"
Weildiana whispered softly, holding a dark sun in her hand, which imprisoned countless sleeping resentful souls: "Dienxi, where are we? Is there a problem with the transmission to the forbidden land?"
At this moment, she is on an isolated island.
Beach, waves, crabs, coconut trees.
There is also the deep starry sky above your head.
"We should be at sea." The devil said calmly.
Viltiana glanced at her. "The last time I heard this kind of nonsense was last time."
The demon king said coldly, "How should I know where we were teleported to? These rioting forbidden places are weirder than each other. It's good that we were not teleported into the turbulence of time and space. Let's go, you and I will join forces and cast synchronization magic. With the combined strength of the two of us, we should be able to get back quickly."
Viltiana snorted softly: "Do you have something to determine the direction?"
The demon king raised his chin and said arrogantly, "A sense of direction is a gift that demons are born with. If nothing unexpected happens, we should not be in the East Continent now. We should go west now."
Weiertiana thought for a moment and said, "Then wait for me for a while."
Demon King: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to set up a barrier, so go away and don't look."
Viltiana looked at the sleeping ghosts imprisoned in her hands.
"Well, wait until he wakes up and give him a surprise."

The wind brought the sound of tides from afar.
Augurola stroked his neck as he stood on the empty deck.
The cruise ship rides the wind and waves and sails into the distance.
In the setting sun, her petite and slender figure seemed to blend into the twilight.
Breathtakingly beautiful...
"Why do you suddenly feel reluctant?"
Augurola whispered softly, pulling a diary from her pocket.
Gray fog rolled in, and lines of bloody Chinese characters appeared on the diary.
That is the rule of the abyss.
"What a strange rule! Is this really the way to enter another world?"
Augurola murmured, "Forget it, just treat it as a surprise for him."
Chapter 234: Viltiana vs. Augurola
There is no doubt that Licinius had the power to change the world.
