People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Why did Tresis establish a military committee? Wasn't it to liberate the Sarkaz from the rule of the blood nobles and establish a modern bureaucratic system that emulated a modern country?

What Ernst did was actually the same thing. He just had some advantages over Tracy.

Tracy needs to take into account the opinions of the old royal court, and his military committee will inevitably have to delegate power to the royal court forces. The existence of the Scavenger King and the Blood Demon Lord is the best proof of this.

As a foreigner, Ernst does not need to care as much about the attitude of the Sarkaz royal court as Theresis does. The neighborhood committee he established is not because you can join in power just because you are from the royal court, but because the person who joins in power may happen to be the royal court.

There seems to be no difference, but at their core they are completely opposite.

In fact, Theresias did a good job. Except for the two big guys, the Blood Demon Lord and the Scavenger King, the rest of the officers in the Military Committee were basically trusted by Theresias. Manfred was trained by him, and Ursula came from the Scar Market and had nothing to do with the Royal Court. In fact, in his ideal, Theresia should be in his current position, responsible for coordinating the internal affairs of the Military Committee, while he should hold the sword to the outside world and deal with the external threat of Sarkaz together with Askalon.

Unfortunately, dreams can contain anything. Theresa even told Tracys that she dreamed that the Shapeshifters and the Blood Demon Lord went to fight the Sea Si together.

Ermengarde naturally did not consider the extent of Ernst and Therese. She just nodded as if she understood and treated it as a simple household registration work.

Although she doesn't seem to be from Kjerag, why does she have a household registration file in Kjerag?

The focus of the Shapeshifter cluster is on another thing in Ernst's words.

"Are there many Sarkaz in Kjerag?"

He asked, and Ernst nodded:

"A lot."

After opening up to the outside world, Kjerag’s floating population has actually always been large. Ernst may have only come into contact with a few Sarkaz, but in fact, among the lower classes, the number of Sarkaz flowing in as labor is actually not small.

According to the report He Dalei submitted after his return, his "Sarkaz Talent Introduction Plan" was very effective. In addition to Mudstone, many Sarkaz who were literate and hated war had already come to Kjerag.

The number of people has reached hundreds.

Although the number of more than 100 people is not impressive compared to the local population of Kjerag, which is one million, in reality, the majority are always silent, and a small number of people who speak out are enough to cause a big commotion.

Casimir, where Ernst had just left, was the Grand Knight who led Kavaleriaki, a city with a population of millions. However, it encountered the biggest crisis since the city was founded just because of a team of more than ten infected people. Could it be that the destructive power of the Sarkaz is less than that of the infected?

It is imperative to establish a department to manage the Sarkaz whose numbers are still increasing!

But strangely, Kemillian seemed particularly curious about the "number and types of Sarkaz". He asked again:

“Are there specific types and quantities?”

Ernst looked at him strangely and replied:

“That’s what we’re counting.”

"You're concerned about that?"

The shapeshifter cluster nodded decisively:

"I'm curious."

He also explained why:

"For the Sarkaz, it is a rare thing to gather together. As far as I know, the regent of Londinium, Tresis, has only three Sarkaz royal courts under his command. And Kjerag seems to have surpassed this number?"

Ernst waved his hand.

The shapeshifter cluster frowned, somewhat dissatisfied:

"Isn't it?"

Although they cannot enter confidential places, shapeshifters can still often visit places like construction sites.

There alone, he caught a banshee and a half-blooded son of earth and stone. He had heard of the two figures, the banshee Nastie, a stray from the Banshee Court who had caused quite a stir in Columbia and was considered the most successful new generation of Sarkaz. The shapeshifters had already collected information about her.

As for that son of earth and stone...

Who could have thought that the son of earth and stone that Tracy had spent half a day searching the mountains and seas for would end up doing the work of plastering at Kjerag's construction site, and having a lot of fun doing it?

But it is also true that what Tracys was searching for, strictly speaking, was the [Royal Court of the Stone-Winged Demons (Sons of Earth and Stone)], and the little girl named "Mud Rock" was a mixed-blood.

And this hybrid is obviously a bit mixed. The shapeshifters remember that the Stone Winged Demons are called Stone Winged Demons because they really have a pair of wings on their backs, just like the [City Mason] Ge Du back then. And Mudstone, let alone a pair of wings that can be flapped to hover near the ground, her back is so smooth that people can't help but want to use a cupping jar!

This is also the drawback that the Military Committee, which is highly integrated with the Royal Court, must face. Due to the inconsistency of internal guiding ideologies and standards, they will always subconsciously ignore some forces that could be used for their own benefit. This is not even something that Tresis can control - if it were him, he would definitely recruit Mudstone, but the Blood Demon Lord who advocates pure blood would ignore such a worthless "half-blood" in his eyes, even if the Regent he respects is also a half-blood.

There are two of them here alone.

Not to mention the lich he has already seen and the Cyclops King's Court that is his mission target.

Four, Kjerag has surpassed the Military Council!

But Ernst still shook his head:

"I don't know what you're talking about. This is Kjerag, there is no royal court here."

He finally understood why Ermengarde looked so guilty and embarrassed.

This Mr. Kmilian...? He is probably a conservative in the Lich King's Court. He always talks about the court and compares him with Tracys. He is indeed not a likable guy.

In Ernst’s words: “Narrow-minded.”

"If you're talking about Nasti, she's an engineer who led the reconstruction of Tukarim and is a good friend of the people of Kjerag. If you're talking about Mudstone, she's an honorable worker who often helps fellow villagers and is well-liked by everyone. If you're talking about He Dalei, he's a teacher at the Spark Night School. The students were afraid of him at first, but later they thought he looked handsome with an eye patch. He's also a qualified teacher now."

“Even if you are talking about the Fire Demon Safar, the one your lich requested to communicate with, he is also a glorious employee of Kjerag’s heating center. In this cold winter, he is burning himself for all of Kjerag.”

"Here, when we are working, we are called by our positions. After work, we all have only one identity - Kjerag people. Please don't use the narrow division of the Sarkaz royal court to distort the unity of the Kjerag people."

The shapeshifter cluster was stunned.

In all his life, this was the first time he had been scolded in public like this.

He wasn't angry, he just felt a little strange.

Interesting, Nastia, Mudstone, Hedley, are they all "living" in this way in Kjerag?

Did they abandon their identity as Sarkaz? No, that couldn't be said. If they, and the other Sarkaz who came to Kjerag, had abandoned their identity as Sarkaz, then Ernst wouldn't have needed to set up a [Sarkaz Residents' Committee] to manage them.

They still recognized themselves as Sarkaz, but at the same time, they recognized themselves more as themselves? Or, they belonged to Kjerag?

No, something is still wrong...

The Shapeshifter cluster felt confused, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

But Ernst no longer had the mood or time to continue explaining. He had a meeting to attend next, so he looked at Ermengarde, who was probably so moved that she was about to cry, and said calmly:

"You guys go and rest first. I have things to do next. Xinteleya will take you to the hotel."

Ermengarde wiped her "dared not move" eyes and nodded:

"What about the Flame Demon?"

"I'll arrange it."

Ernst Road,

"After registering with He Dalei, you can take Assistant Kemillian to walk around Kjerag. The scenery here is quite nice."

"understand!"

Ermengarde quickly made an "OK" gesture, turned around, and pulled the sleeve of the shapeshifter cluster:

"Well, shall we go?"

The shapeshifters came back to their senses and looked at Ernst. The poker face still didn't seem to have changed, but Ernst could see a little satisfaction in his lifeless eyes:

"you are very funny."

he whispered.

Ernst did not answer, but just stared at him in silence.

Ermengarde hastily tugged at his sleeve.

The shapeshifters shook their heads, not knowing whether they were responding to Ermengarde or Ernst, and whispered:

"Don't worry, I won't do anything."

It is indeed difficult to tell whether his transformation is real or not, but the Cyclops is, in a way, his natural nemesis.

Those who read "fate" can tell the authenticity of the person in front of them at a glance, because "fate" cannot deceive people. He belongs to only one person and cannot be transformed or "stolen".

Therefore, he could not replace Ernst.

Moreover, he was really curious, and he would not do anything until he had used his endless life to answer the doubts in his heart.

Just like Ernst said, let's go and see it first.

From a different perspective, look at Kjerag.

Chapter 471 I have no intention of controlling Kazdelnia

Ernst's office cubicle, Kjerag Government Office Building, Tukarim, Kjerag.

It was a new day again, and Ernst came to the office early in the morning.

There was an important meeting this morning.

After hurriedly finishing the office meal that Holhaiya had prepared in advance and placed on the table, Ernst tidied himself up and walked into the meeting room. Both sides of the long table were already full of people.

Nasty sat in the first seat on the left, and her assistant Mudstone sat behind her, listening in. Hedley sat in the first seat on the right, and his expression was a little worried. He should have had an assistant, and he didn't know if Ines had received his message.

The person sitting next to Hedley, second from the right, was Ermengarde. She was called to the meeting suddenly and was obviously unprepared. She was looking at the other people present in surprise. It was worth mentioning that his assistant, Kemillian, was not present this time and no one knew where he went.

The reason why she was willing to attend this meeting was very simple. It was because of the burning tin man sitting on the second seat on the left opposite her who raised the temperature of the entire conference room by himself - the Fire Demon, Safar.

No words were needed, no one present could ignore his presence. The pressure he created just by sitting there was enough to make all the Sarkaz present feel fearful.

"Living souls, resurrected war, eternal furnace, flames of punishment."

This is Nasti's evaluation of the ancient one, fully demonstrating her rhetorical ability, which she is proud of as a witch.

However, what is somewhat curious is that there is a small "child" behind Safar. Miloqi from the Durin tribe is nervously adjusting the various parameters of the new Durin No. 260 armor to prevent Safar from leaking fire and accidentally setting fire to the chairs in the conference room.

The renovation cost a lot of money.

When Ernst walked into the room, everyone's eyes immediately shifted from the other person to him and nodded to him.

"Good morning, everyone. Have you eaten?"

"Good morning." "Morning!" "Good morning, Ernst."

A brief greeting, and no one answered Ernst's question, "Have you eaten?"

This forced Ernst to give up the idea of ​​asking Hinterea to bring in the bread prepared outside.

I guess everyone is not hungry.

Ernst turned his head, pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the last person who didn't fit in in the room besides the Sarkaz, and greeted him:

"Good morning, Dr. Kelsey?"

"You look terrible? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"Maybe I had too good a rest last night, so I haven't woken up yet."

Kelsey murmured. Ernst raised his eyebrows and pretended not to hear clearly:

"what?"

Kelsey immediately came to her senses and shook her head:

"nothing."

Ernst shrugged, turned around, tapped the table lightly, and introduced:

"Everyone, the purpose of this meeting should be clear to everyone. In response to the increasing number of Sarkaz problems in Kjerag, we are holding this meeting here with the purpose of establishing a [Kjerag Sarkaz Residents Committee]. I hope that everyone can express their opinions, fully discuss, and give full play to your wild and imaginative ideas. I will summarize these ideas after the meeting and adopt them as appropriate."

After Ernst finished speaking, he raised his chin towards Kelsey and said:

"Dr. Kelsey, please close the door."

Closing the door means that whatever we are going to talk about next will be an internal topic and will not be disclosed to the outside world. Therefore, participants can express their opinions without worrying about incurring any responsibility for their speech.

When Ernst entered, he could have closed the door, but closing the door at that time obviously would not have had the same effect. He was just doing it for the Sarkaz people present to see.

As for why Kal'tsit was asked to close the door.

Because the old cat was sitting next to him, because the old cat was closest to the door, and because the old cat looked a little absent-minded.

There's nothing special about this. Ernst simply wanted to help Kal'tsit wake up from her sleepiness.

But Kal'tsit was still a little distracted.

This made Ernst speechless. He pursed his lips and spoke a little louder, with a bit of dissatisfaction:

"Kal'tsit, will the door of the conference room close by itself?"
