Don't confiscate my citizenship

“For diplomacy, the main reason is that it takes a long time. The above four indicator options are basically based on days, but choosing the diplomatic route will take at least weeks, and if it fails, it will be a pure waste of time and zero profit. "

Ron, the vice president of the Sage Academy, put away his pen and summarized the conclusions they had reached in the past two days.

He glanced at Loren who was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, and then at the silver-haired woman from the Church of Destiny beside him, the legendary saint of the Northern Continent, and said no more.

He knew that Dean Loren had too much to take care of at the moment.

Ever since he rushed back to the royal capital of Icerita and returned to the emergency meeting room of the Sage Academy, Loren had not spoken much.

This time, the Seventh Level Shadow World was not only an internal meeting of the Sage Academy, but also professors from the Magic Academy and the Alchemy Academy came to discuss and analyze the situation in real time.

They need to give feedback to the United Parliament of the Southern Continent Kingdom and the Shadow World Management Association. Once the Shadow World falls into a state of rampage or loss of control, resulting in an unpredictable natural disaster, the Parliament and the Association will also take immediate follow-up measures to deal with the natural disaster.

At present, according to their evaluation results, this shadow world is not an ordinary seventh-level shadow world, but an extremely difficult strategy type.

"Loren..."

The Ice Witch gritted her teeth and sat next to Loren. She followed Loren to the conference room of Icerita College, as if to lower the temperature of the surrounding air.

Originally, when I came to the Southern Continent, I planned to come to Icerita slowly to see how Hyperion was living. Unexpectedly, I heard a bolt from the blue as soon as I arrived at the Kingdom of Hutton.

The first time she learned of the situation, she almost grabbed Loren's neck and asked Loren to return her Hyperion.

Hyperion did not turn on the live broadcast. She seemed not to want to record the situation around her. At present, she could only see Lanqi's condition, and she did not even know whether Hyperion was still safe.

"..."

Now Loren was sweating profusely and on pins and needles.

He didn't know how to survive these forty days.

Originally, I was hoping that Lan Qi would learn a lot of new skills in the past six months, and maybe there was some hope of passing the seventh-level shadow world. However, on Lan Qi's first day in this seventh-level shadow world, He felt even more chilled.

This shadow world is more about strategy and mechanism than battle. Even if he throws Loren into it, he may not have much hope of clearing it, because he cannot fight against the entire Horning Empire on his own.

Not only did he not know why Lan Qi suddenly came back and started to work hard again, but he also felt as if he was about to start against the whole world.

The Hutton dignitaries, His Majesty the King, the Southern Continent Kingdom Federation, and the Church are all starting to question him like crazy!

Chapter 539 Rocky McCarthy is calling

Luncheons between the Pollant royal family and the Prime Minister were not a regular ritual in the Empire, but they were one of the informal forms of meeting in the constitutional democracy of the Pollant Empire.

Private lunches provided an informal setting where the emperor and prime minister could discuss imperial matters and policy issues in a more relaxed atmosphere.

In the constitutional system of the Pollant Empire, the current emperor, Queen Kesia, plays an important ceremonial role, while the actual administrative power is mainly concentrated in the hands of the prime minister and his parliament.

Despite this, Empress Ceshia retained a deep interest and influence in state affairs.

It was part of the political tradition of the Pollant Empire that the Prime Minister report regularly to the Emperor on government matters.

The royal capital of Pollant, Salem Palace.

Originally built as a large city-state residence for a certain duke, it was later acquired by the royal family and gradually expanded into the current palace.

Lan Qi's steps echoed in the palace.

He walked forward slowly and slowly under the steward's guidance.

Today the building is not only the residence of the monarchs of the Polante Empire, but also a symbol of the Polante national identity and royal tradition.

After Ranchi left the Capitol, he was sent by his secretary to the Salem Palace to meet with the Queen.

It's lunch time now.

Soon, he came to a gorgeous restaurant, filled with the light fragrance of classical furniture. The tall windows brought soft natural light, reflecting on the royal tablecloths and silverware.

"Sir Wilford, please sit down."

After Queen Kesia noticed Lan Qi, she stretched out her hand to indicate to him.

Her posture seemed dignified, noble and cold.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Keshia."

Lan Qi sat on the other side of the long table and looked up.

The young queen opposite her had a humble demeanor, her long satiny brown hair was woven into intricate knots and inlaid with sparkling gems and pearls, and her eyes were bright, revealing wit and insight beneath the deep blue.

But she seemed slightly nervous and cautious.

There was silence between the two people for a long time.

It's like waiting for the waiter to deliver today's lunch, and also like thinking.

Except for the appointment ceremony of the Prime Minister, the two of them had little interaction before.

Today is the first lunch between them.

In theory, such lunches or similar private meetings provide a platform for the Queen and the Prime Minister to exchange views. On this occasion, the Prime Minister can introduce to the Emperor the policy direction of the House of Representatives, the development of major domestic and international events, and the possible challenges that may be faced. Challenges and decision-making considerations are also an important channel for the emperor to understand government affairs operations and national conditions, so usually the prime minister should speak first.

In addition, this kind of meeting also helps to maintain the personal relationship between the emperor and the prime minister and maintain smooth communication between the chamber and the royal family. Although Queen Kesia does not directly participate in political decision-making, as a symbol of the country and a symbol of unity, A good relationship with the ruling Prime Minister is of great significance to the stability of the country and the trust of the people.

The problem is that Queen Kesia still has a hard time agreeing with the selection of Wilford as prime minister.

In her eyes, Wilford is an unpredictable man with a shady past, a wavering attitude, and many people around her call him a madman.

But except for him, no one dares to take on such an important task at this time.

"By the way, Your Majesty Keshia, are you hungry now?"

Lan Qi suddenly asked.

This question stunned Queen Kesia.

The cat boss in Lan Qi's shadow was also stunned.

Do you treat all girls as Tata?

Hey, this is the Queen, why don't you change the topic of conversation when chatting with her?

"Mr. Wilford, aren't you hungry yet?"

Queen Kesia thought about the other party's motives for a while and asked back.

"No, I'm looking forward to having lunch with Her Majesty the Queen as soon as possible. The morning's work has already made me dizzy from exhaustion."

Lanqi shook his head and smiled a little tiredly.

"I just think that Your Majesty probably doesn't like to talk while eating. If I don't start a small talk with you now, we may be in silence throughout the lunch."

Sometimes asking a question that has nothing to do with the important matter at hand can lighten the atmosphere and divert the other person's attention.

Especially useful for a certain woman.

"really."

Queen Kesia nodded.

She is indeed not the type who likes to talk while eating, and Wilford seems to be used to it. If you agree on this in advance, there will be no embarrassment when both parties eat quietly later.

"Actually, I think Your Majesty should know quite a lot about the situation of the Paulante Empire. I will not repeat a lot of boring information that you already know. If you have anything curious, please feel free to ask me. , I will answer everything I know."

Lan Qi saw that the Queen's posture became slightly more comfortable and continued to speak slowly.

"..."

Queen Keshia nodded silently and looked at the other party,

"Sir Wilford, if not as an ally, but as a friend, you are more approachable than I thought."

The lunch, which was originally expected to be more like an arduous ordeal, became much more relaxed. She could either say nothing or just talk about the topics she wanted to talk about.

Finally she had a moment to carefully observe the black-haired, green-eyed man sitting opposite.

However, what she didn't expect was that the man she feared seemed to be equally in awe of her.

Although he wore a neat suit and maintained respect and courtesy on the outside, his eyes still showed humility and sincerity. It was obvious that he attached great importance to this private meeting.

"If possible, I hope I never have to use my talents. The best Paulant Empire is the Paulant Empire that doesn't need me."

Lan Qi said frankly.

"Do you know? The conservatives now regret electing you as the new prime minister because of your speech this morning."

Keshia could see that unlike most of the empire's dignitaries, he had a sense of responsibility but no ambition. This may be why he was hated and ostracized by some people.

Of course, many people have also expected this. Once Wilford helps them overcome the difficulties of the empire, they will not be obsessed with the power in their hands and will soon remove him.

"But expressing my true thoughts is imperative."

Lan Qi replied firmly.

"You should not mislead the public."

Queen Keshia originally did not plan to change the topic in this meeting that might cause them to break up, but now she feels that Wilford is not a man without courage, and there are some things that she should talk to him more openly. .

She was referring to the fact that Lan Qi did not disclose to the public that the Horning Empire had officially attacked the northern border of the neighboring Kingdom of Bliss last night. Instead, he said that once the Horning Empire began to threaten them, the Paulante Empire would use all its strength. Counterattack, the claws of the Horning Empire will never be allowed to penetrate into the land that their ancestors of the Pollant Empire have protected for generations.

"But this can inspire people's hearts and arouse everyone's will to resist. We cannot surrender without fighting."

Lan Qi lowered his tone by half and said to Queen Kesia.

"..."

Queen Kesia, who originally planned to continue questioning him, felt as if her words were stuck in her throat.

She saw that Sir Wilford was clearly saying the toughest words, but he was acting like a child who had admitted his mistake. This made Queen Kessia feel heartbroken, this unspeakable humility of being alone and supporting the beam.

If I still blame him now, it will obviously make it more difficult for him.

After thinking about it carefully, what he said did make sense, but he basically insisted on being prepared to resist vigorously.

"Sorry, Sir Wilford, I didn't consider your situation."

She looked at Lan Qi's tired eyes, feeling guilty.

Cat boss: "???"

In just a few minutes, it could no longer see Keshia's initial wariness towards Lan Qi.

In turn, the other party began to want to get closer to him.

Without Hyperion, he began to express himself freely. He might not have recovered half of his peak skills in the Northern Continent!
