Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

Chu Yan nodded and stopped thinking about establishing a mother-son relationship. Instead, he followed the other party's thinking.

"I want to keep Eve by my side forever because... Eve is so capable. I kind of enjoy the feeling of having my brain idle and not having to do trivial things, so I made this somewhat unreasonable request to Mommy Losta."

"..."

The cold and icy mother's expression rarely changed. Her slender brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had not expected Chu Yan to be so frank.

He simply said that he wanted to be lazy at work in the future, and he didn't even change his words to say that he wanted to maintain efficient work in the future or something like that.

Although the reason given by the child was unreasonable and Losta did not agree with it, she did not show dissatisfaction, but continued to ask:

"If you want me to agree to your unreasonable request, then you should find a way to come up with a compensatory measure instead of just throwing it out there knowing it's unreasonable."

Chu Yan chatted with her for a while, waiting for the opportunity, and vaguely caught a certain feeling -

This mother is teaching him what kind of son she hopes to have in the future as a mother!

The last few rounds of conversations have already revealed her intention to guide.

......How to make an unreasonable request reasonable?

Chu Yan's eyes lit up, and he understood the deep meaning of her words. The unreasonableness of this request was that Losta needed Eve to return to work, but Chu Yan wanted to keep Eve by his side because he wanted to be lazy.

If Mommy Losta's work assistant is qualified, then Eve won't have to report back.

In this way, Chu Yan's request became reasonable.

However, Mother Losta's attitude was now very clear. She was not satisfied with the current temporary assistant. She just thought that her son needed a reliable person to assist him in such a complicated area, so she did not mention Eve.

I have always been putting myself in a difficult position and just trying to accommodate my son for the time being.

It's the love of a mother!

"Then I'll take over the job assistance for Mommy Losta, but I need some time to get used to it, okay?"

Ice Dragon Mommy narrowed her eyes slightly, with a deep look in her eyes, and she confirmed:

"You wanted Eve so you could be lazy, and now you choose to come to me to get more work in order to get Eve?"

Chu Yan was ashamed. This Losta mommy was really hard to fool. She was too calm and clear-headed...

If he asked for Eve's monthly fee too strongly, it would reveal his true colors and disclose his other motives towards Eve.

"Ahem... I think that working for Mommy Losta is not a burden at all. It is a training opportunity for me! I can also get to know you better by helping you with your work."

These words were so true and false that Chu Yan even blushed.

But Mommy Losta nodded and agreed:

“Okay, now your request and reasons are reasonable, but whether it can be implemented is another matter.

At this time, you should focus on the things at hand first, and consider serving me when things are settled in the future."

"Well, then, Mommy Losta, do you need some time alone right now? Do you mind if I sit with you for a while?"

"You can sit, but there is no plan to chat right now. Just leave when you want to."

After discussing the matter, Chu Yan showed no emotion on the surface, but he was actually relieved in his heart.

Being an assistant to Mommy Losta is a great opportunity to get to know her!

But her personality is really hard to get along with... The conversation style has to be concise without any nonsense, which is a bit stressful.

The kind of woman who comes up and says, "Family, who understands?" will probably be ordered to get away if she appears in front of Mommy Losta for even a minute.

I just don't know if Mommy Losta can accept it if I prepare a logically accurate and well-reasoned essay to explain the matter if Chu Yan and Wei Lin's affair is exposed in the future...

While meditating, Chu Yan thought about the follow-up and found that there was really nothing urgent to do at the moment.

Before new information was delivered, he was in a state of "waiting to die", and the most important thing to pay attention to at the moment was Pope Camilla.

Her fighting ability is very important.

Would it be better for Chu Yan to look for "Virtue"? She might have a deeper understanding of the power system developed by the Archangel "Discipline".

Not long after leaving Mommy Losta's house, Sister Ye Na came to the door, and Aunt Organ came with her.

Chu Yan thought that there was no need to

866

There was no need to avoid it. His relationship with the Empire was already open and above board, so he simply pulled them into the living room to chat.

"Is this your first time here, Auntie Feng Organ? Please don't treat yourself as a guest~"

"I think it's better to be a guest the first time you come here, so that you can enjoy your hospitality. Otherwise, you will suffer a loss~" Aunt Organ joked lightly.

"That's no problem, I'll be your boss next time..."

Before Chu Yan could finish his words, Princess Ye Nai interrupted him:

"Auntie, you want to be the hostess instead of being a guest?"

"......" Chu Yan suddenly fell silent.

My princess sister, please don’t do that. It’s very dangerous to tell jokes like this here!

Sure enough, Weilin came down from upstairs and looked at the living room suspiciously, as if to confirm who wanted to be the hostess!

Chapter 18 Everyone is rebelling against Tiangang (-)

Weilin said nothing, but her eyes conveyed a question: "What are you talking about becoming a hostess?"

Her sight fell on an older woman in the living room. Her long black hair was neatly groomed, with each strand trimmed evenly, giving the impression of having obsessive-compulsive disorder. Her eyes were narrowed and there was a smile on the corners of her mouth.

When she noticed Weilin's gaze, she opened her eyes and responded with a polite look.

Chu Yan hurriedly said: "It's okay, just joking and chatting!"

Weilin didn't delve into it further and turned away, leaving Chu Yan to chat on his own.

This little episode ended, and Princess Ye Na couldn't help but complain:

"Why do I feel like you're walking on thin ice, Chu Yan? Is it my illusion?"

Chu Yan shook his head. Although the mommies could make him feel awkward sometimes, other than that they were still very friendly. They were all smart and talented women, and it was easy to get along with them in all aspects.

"It's an illusion. As long as we don't touch on the topic, they are easy to get along with. It's just that their personalities are different, so sometimes I feel confused."

Ye Nai didn't say much, she couldn't wait to talk about the cloaked men in the tower:

"...There's nothing underneath those guys' cloaks, and there are no feet in their shoes. They just wear a pair of shoes for display. I'm afraid they don't want to attract attention. They must be members of the Witch Society, right?"

Chu Yan couldn't say for sure, as he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but he estimated that it was pretty close.

The Witch Society also said before that they have sent people to the front lines to activate operations. Most likely they are talking about these people. As for the cloaked man, there is no one inside... It should be a means of acting covertly, right?

Means similar to familiars can only be used to detect and search for intelligence. They are not real members of the Witch Society, otherwise they would be invincible.

"Don't worry about them. Since the Witch Society has sent people to look for it, you imperial troops can relax and let the Witch Society find the last enchantment site."

When Bertha saw that it was the princess of the empire, she came over to listen in. She asked curiously:

"Didn't they say that witches have prophets? They were able to track our whereabouts and placed a 'prize' for Shanoya at the end point. Why can't they find that place directly now?"

This is a bit strange, but it's not really that strange.

Chu Yan thought of the previous intelligence exchange with Pope Camilla and said:

"The Sanctuary of Discipline has the means to block the Prophet from detecting intelligence. Perhaps this last enchantment area is in a similar situation and can no longer take shortcuts to reach the target directly."

When skills are difficult to use, we can only follow the steps and calculate the third position according to Pope Camilla's deduction from the known magic circle patterns.

Although Chu Yan knew nothing about this, it should be a question like "Given two points of an equilateral triangle, find the position of the third point"?

Princess Ye Na's mood is a bit complicated:

"The witch would show kindness to us like this. I thought she would be open with us at this stage. Why is she still so secretive?"

Chu Yan actually had the same feeling. The witch wanted to use his relationship to retrieve a forbidden token from the Sanctuary of Discipline, but she didn't send anyone to contact him in person, but used the "perfunctory" method of projecting the magic stone. It was quite infuriating.

He interrupted, "Okay, let's not talk about these mysterious guys. What is the current situation of the empire?"

Aunt Organ showed an attitude of thanks. She bent slightly, and a hint of white appeared faintly between her conservative collar, as well as deep cleavage hidden under her clothes, showing her sincerity.

Auntie Feng Organ then said, "For the Empire, the situation is not very good, but it has temporarily resumed normal operations. A small number of scholars continue to explore thoughts, while the majority of scholars have returned to normal research, using existing theories to enhance the power of the Empire."

Chu Yan felt that he was not worthy of such gratitude as he had not done anything remarkable.

The problem with scholars before the empire was that they were too much in step. To put it nicely, Emperor Yama respected his imperial scholars too much. He knew that he was not an expert and would not give blind instructions, so he let the scholars deal with academic issues themselves.

The advantage is that it is a welfare stage of development, where we can concentrate our efforts on major tasks. The disadvantage is that once a bottleneck is encountered, everyone will come to a standstill.

In fact, it would be better to divide them into groups. A few scholars would continue to work hard on cutting-edge theories, while the rest of the scholars would honestly engage in practice and act for the needs of the empire.

867

To be honest, there are gaps between scholars. When many theoretical problems reach a certain depth, only a few people can suddenly realize them, and the rest are just high-level workers.

If the latter insist on theory, they will be wasting the food that the empire provides them with.

"Does Emperor Yama have any new instructions?"

"No special instructions. The recent instructions should be to continue to send troops here, leaving only two legions in the country to guard the country. If the 'gate' is opened smoothly, the legions left in the country will escort the citizens and migrate to the new world together."

Chu Yan nodded approvingly.

Regardless of past frictions, the Empire's attitude towards such major events is obviously much more normal.

It seems that there are no special military orders, but it is already very rare to move at a normal pace.

I hope nothing goes wrong on the Empire's side.

For a moment, Chu Yan thought about sending the imperial army to the Central Diocese to stir up trouble, but after thinking it over, he decided not to.

He always said that problems frequently occurred among various forces, but now he was the one causing trouble, which was somewhat a slap in his face.

Why bother?

Seeing that there was no intention to discuss further with the action team, Bertha turned to ask on behalf of Omega:

"Does the Empire have any new gun blades now? One that is more powerful than the general's standard gun blades. Omega is worried about the backwardness of its own weapons."

During the time Princess Ye Na was in charge of the army, she had gained a lot of knowledge about the imperial armed forces. She shook her head regretfully:

"The next one up is the Imperial Standard Gun Blade that my father used, but I have to be honest, it is not much different from the General Standard, except that the materials used and the quality control are both at a perfect level.

This is the current bottleneck of the Empire's military weapons manufacturing. The angel mechanical arm that the Great Prince was operating before was actually an attempt to seek a breakthrough."

What Princess Ye Na said was just the bottleneck of portable weapons. There are definitely weapons that are more powerful than gun blades, but they are various large machines.

You can't let soldiers carry a cannon cart as a personal weapon, right?

Bertha knew she couldn't force it, so she sighed and joked:

"Alas, that can't be helped. Omega might have to call me 'commander' from now on~!"

Chu Yan really wanted Princess Ye Na to learn it quickly. It was also a joke that was contrary to Tian Gang's style. Belsa's "I want to be the boss" was humorous, but your "I want to be the hostess" was a test with a dagger hidden in your smile.

That's not funny!

*

Chu Yan chatted with two of his contacts in the empire for more than an hour, and they were about to leave.

Before leaving, Chu Yan really wanted to ask Princess Ye Nai to move nearby.

It just so happened that Chief Phoenix was going to stay in a small town in the suburbs, so the vacant room could be given to Princess Ye Na, since he had the right to use the house anyway.

However, the word "mistress" that the princess sister had mentioned earlier really scared Chu Yan. He was worried that if Princess Ye Nai moved in with Aunt Fengqin, the mothers would doubt his motives.

We are in the middle of a storm and I really don't dare to take the risk.

I can only give the house to the princess sister and keep it for the imperial aunt first. Anyway, the empire’s small military district is not far away, and if there is important matter to discuss, it is only two steps away.

Chu Yan took Eve out, ready to talk to her about Losta.

It’s still the familiar city square.

There were a lot of people in the square today, and several benches were occupied. Chu Yan and Eve had to move to the Adventurer's Guild Hall to find a quiet place to chat.

On the first floor of the guild hall, Chu Yan met the veteran intelligence dealer Ge Ruien, whose shit-green hairstyle was his trademark.
