While expressing his emotion, Kent also noticed that the sword guard had taken off the heavy bag on his back.
"What are you carrying?" he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Medicine." The sword guard replied.
"The information that Miss Daphne gave was very vague. She only told the Duke to be careful of Duke Caister. In order to prevent any accidents, the Duke arranged for us to set off with the medicine."
Kent nodded in understanding.
After receiving the information, Anfeilis chose to send someone to pick me up.
The Sword Guard is the blade of Windermere's sword. When the Sword Guards are assembled, even Leitania's Golden Law Guards can only stand back. This is physical protection.
As for the medicine, is Amphillis worried that she might be poisoned?
That was possible; his insomnia and physical deterioration occurred too quickly; an ordinary heart attack would never be so severe.
His surname isn't Zhou, and he's not a Yan nationality, so how could he be angered to death?
But how did Amphillis know what kind of poison she was poisoned with?
The medicine in the sword guard's bag answered Kent's question.
"His Excellency the Duke ordered the doctor to bring the antidotes to all the poisons in the headquarters' stockpile. As well as all the medical equipment that can be carried. Of course, there are also medical sorcerers."
Kent didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the sword guard's back starting to smoke after he took off his bag.
This is really... a very Amphillies Windermere way of solving a problem.
Stand out with a powerful brick flying!
Chapter 92: Hol Haiya: I won't take your salary for nothing
Kjerag, Tukarim, Kjerag Government Office Building.
Ernst had just sat down when Holhaiya came up to him and gossiped with interest:
"Have you heard? Enxioudis carried out a massive layoff after returning to Kalan Trade yesterday. I heard that he laid off hundreds of employees in one go!"
Ernst glanced at Holhaiya, and contrary to his usual behavior, he did not add insult to injury, but argued:
"This is not a layoff, it is a transfer of excellent talents to society."
"Boss, you really do know something." Hol Haiya smiled slightly, "Forget it, if you don't plan to say more, I won't ask any more."
Of course Ernst couldn't say much, because this was the choice he forced Enthiotis to make.
Although it was unknown why Enthiotis did not choose to attack during the Holy Hunting Ceremony, causing Ernst's series of preparations to be in vain, he did not gain nothing.
The result was that the team consisting of Xinteleya, Holhaiya, Joyce and others did find the special forces of Kalan Trading at the foot of the mountain.
The Shivaash family had a certain amount of armed forces, which was actually not a big deal. Although Kjerag's nominal protector was the Perlochi family, which big family didn't have its own servants to guard the house? If one or two fang beasts attacked the village, would they have to go all the way to Perlochi to ask for help?
But the actions of this unit are inexplicable.
According to the tradition of Kjerag, which is also the rule set by Manzhuyuan, during the Holy Hunting Ceremony, no Kjerag people are allowed to walk around the Holy Mountain at will. Even the patriarchs of the three major families are not allowed to do so.
If you want to bring a guard, you can, like Actoros Perlochi, the holy hunting team he brought was a huge army of bears, but according to the rules, except for a few selected warriors who could follow him into the hunting ground, the rest of the team had to wait on the Holy Stone Square.
It's okay if you don't bring guards with you. Just stay in the territory and no one will care about you.
But what about your Enthiotis troops?
You are neither on the mountain nor in your own territory. Instead, you are all piled up on the mountain road. What is your intention?
According to tradition, anyone who violates the teachings of Manjushri and causes trouble during the Holy Hunt, the most solemn ceremony of Kjerag, should be hung on the top of the Matterhorn and have their hearts and livers eaten by feathered beasts!
Considering that the Matterhorn will be rented to Rhine Life as a research site in the future, Ernst gave Enthiotis two options.
Otherwise, you, Enthiotis, should be more conscious and disband this army. All the local people of Kjerag should be sent to factories to do labor. Ernst can help arrange jobs for talented foreigners like Victorians who are willing to stay, and the rest should all be deported.
Otherwise, I can help you discuss with Enya and lower the level of your punishment. Let's promote civilization, set a new trend, and promote humanitarianism. Instead of hanging on the mountain top, we can directly behead you. I guarantee that you will have a quick death.
Don't think Ernst can't do it. No one in politics is a white lotus. You have clearly sent troops to block me at the foot of the mountain and are preparing for a coup. If I don't punish you at all and don't make an example of you, then wouldn't I be a saint?
However, Ernst is a kind person and will not do the dirty work himself, but I believe Actor will be happy to help.
As for punishing some coup troops, would it cause resentment among the Kjerag people?
Don't forget, although the Great Elder is dead, the Elders' Council of Manzhu Academy has not really been disbanded. The elders with wrinkles and menstrual blood notes engraved on their faces are still there.
If he really wants to say this, these current "Sons of God" will naturally rush to be the vanguard.
With their ability to debate, the Kjerag people would not only be upset about executing a group of "people who disrupted the holy hunting rituals", but they might even feel that their deaths were too easy. If one hilltop cannot hold all the people, then one should be hanged on every hilltop. Make full use of Kjerag's natural resources, innovate execution methods, achieve a fusion of tradition and modernity, and develop together. Break through the Victorian gallows' bottleneck on cutting-edge execution technology, and achieve a highly efficient one-stop trial and judgment method with Kjerag characteristics!
Don't believe it? You can ask Valis's dad for his opinion.
Didn’t you see that such a devout follower of Yelagund, who also held a high position, was labeled as "disbelievers" by the great elder in just a few words, and was poisoned to death. No one in the Perlochi family thought that it was wrong?
If he really did this, Ernst might be able to beg for mercy on behalf of those people, and then improve his own reputation and word of mouth, so that the death of these people can maximize his benefits.
Well, it is even possible to go a step further and directly drag Enthiotis into the water.
But if it is not necessary, Ernst certainly does not want to go this far. The most important thing for a smart politician is to grasp the right measure and know when to cut the grass and when to let it go.
Although somewhat backward, in Kjerag, where nationalism, class concepts, and cultural identity have not yet been formed, the most reliable bonds that bind people together are blood ties and religion.
Would it be so beneficial for Ernst to kill all Enthiotis?
Obviously not. Perhaps he would be able to call the shots in Kjerag's world from then on, but without Enthiotis, Kalan Trade would inevitably collapse completely, and Ernst did not have the means, energy, or sufficient talent to take over the channels, resources, and legacy left behind after the collapse of Kjerag's main modern enterprise.
Moreover, if he, as the prime minister, failed to protect his brother, the patriarch, it would be tantamount to severing the secular blood relationship. At that time, Ernst would only have religion to rely on.
As we all know, among the countless sources of power, religion is always the most backward one without exception.
Relying on religion to reform Kjerag is too risky. Even if it succeeds, there will be landmines everywhere.
Just as Enthiodis said, Ernst needs the cooperation of Kalan Trade.
And Enthiotis unsurprisingly chose the first option.
Well, although strictly speaking, he didn't really have a choice.
This is how counterattacks work. It is better to say that what Ernst did was light. At least he gave those who followed him a way to survive, and also gave himself a way to survive.
"This may not be a compliment to you, but brother, you are a good person. You let yourself live and let others live. In this respect, I am not as good as you."
Ernst still remembered what Enthiotis said to him when he agreed to disband the Mountain Snow Ghost Unit.
He was somewhat puzzled because similar words were used to evaluate another person in Ernst's previous life.
"Unfortunately, I don't have 10 billion to give subsidies everywhere."
No matter what, Ernst still won this time, and not a small win, not a medium win, but a big win!
The Yamashiro Ghost Force is a professional army that has received modern training, and as we all know, the educational level of soldiers is higher than that of civilians in most of the time.
Not to mention that these civilians are Kjerag’s civilians.
Far ahead, far ahead!
Although these soldiers who have not been ideologically infused cannot be allowed to be teachers at the Xinghuo Night School, it is a very good choice to arrange them into positions that require certain reading, writing, calculation and hands-on abilities.
This solved many of Ernst's anxieties in one fell swoop.
For example, if he couldn't get another Originium furnace, he would plan to buy a production line directly and solve the problem of the lack of technicians in Kjerag himself.
After observing the boss for a long time, he could not tell what the boss was thinking about regarding the grand blueprint for the future of Kjerag and Terra. Holhaiya could only give up his idea and report a piece of news that had just come in today:
"Boss, there's news from the Duke of Windermere, thanking you for your reminder. In half a month, the Duke of Windermere will come to Kjerag in person to express his gratitude to you."
Ernst came back to his senses and was stunned for a while before he realized what he had reminded the Duke of Windermere.
But when he thought of it, he became even more confused: "Ah? I just said that one sentence, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
"As far as I know, it is. The letter says that if it had not been for your help, Mr. Kent would have been killed by the Duke of Caster."
"........" Ernst was silent for a moment, then nodded shamelessly and said, "Write back for me and express my concern for Mr. Kent. I am honored that the Duke of Windermere attaches so much importance to my information. We are working together, and as the person who facilitated this cooperation, it is my job to pay attention to Mr. Kent's safety. No need to thank me."
Although I don't know what's going on, since it's good for me and it's a bargain, I will definitely accept it first.
And there was a mystery in Ernst's words.
He didn't say he was concerned about Mr. Kent's safety, but about "Kent's safety at that time."
If the situation changes in the future and someone really investigates it, Ernst will also be able to say: Why, Mr. Kent is my collaborator, and I can't show some concern? What kind of reminder are you talking about? It has nothing to do with me. That is a letter written by Delphine!
Holhaiya obviously understood Ernst's tricks. She made an OK gesture to him and walked out the door.
He came to the mailroom. When Vina, the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was also in charge of the messengers, was away, Hinterea would take over this shift temporarily, and Ernst would honestly give her two salaries.
Vina's money was deducted because she didn't complete the task. The money for the small stove was spent, but the things were not brought back. She would starve on the streets of Longmen with the compensation!
Vina, who was having hotpot with Wei Yanwu and Rat King at Longmen Restaurant, said: “Ah, yes, yes, yes.”
Back to the topic, it's still the Harvest Festival holiday, so Xinteleya is not here.
Holhaiya sat in front of the typewriter, the most modern tool in the entire Shelag government except for the offline computer in Joyce's office, and drafted the first reply letter according to Ernst's instructions.
But she did not leave immediately, but continued to write a second letter.
A letter of reprimand.
She was well aware of Ernst's current troubles. No matter how brilliant and moving her grand blueprint was, in the final analysis, the Kjerag government had no money.
Without money, nothing can be done. So making money is the key.
But Ernst was too embarrassed to ask directly for "financial compensation" from the Duke of Windermere for this "reminder". Holhaiya understood his difficulties, so she decided to use her experience to help Ernst.
It doesn't matter who you write a letter of condemnation to, because it won't be sent out anyway. Considering that the Duke of Windermere's enemy is the Duke of Caister, Holhaiya wrote the address of the Duke of Caister on the envelope.
The content of the letter of condemnation was also very simple - condemning Duke Kast for his long-term neglect and indifference to friendly countries, and for not actively contributing to the development of Kjerag and the peace of Terra. He was always thinking about doing this and that, fanning the flames in Victoria and even all over Terra, making trouble, and making trouble. He was a real troublemaker in Terra. I hope she will die in the ecological fertilizer explosion as soon as possible, so that she can add some laughter to the people of Terra.
The words must be vulgar, the grammar must be confusing, the content must be abstract, and only one purpose must be clear, and that is the motivation.
Contribute to the development of Kjerag and the peace of Terra.
The second half of the sentence is a cliché. Any normal politician would be confused when seeing these words, so the first half is the key point.
After writing it, Holhaiya kept the letter in her pocket. She would not take it out until the day when the Duke of Windermere came, and then she would report to Ernst.
"Boss, I have prepared the letter condemning the Duke of Caster that you requested. I will send it out after you check it?"
When she says it, Windermere, unless he is a fool, will naturally understand what it means.
"Don't say I didn't help you. I didn't take your salary for nothing."
Holhaiya licked the corner of his mouth and talked to himself.
Chapter 93 Ers is released, referring to the setting collection
Dayan, Longmen.
After long preparations and careful review, the highly anticipated "The History of the Nations of Erzleria" is finally going to be officially released!
When Vina received the news, she was extremely excited.
She had messed up her promise to buy a small stove for Ernst, but no matter what, this was not her official task after all, it was just a verbal promise. When she received the compensation and returned to Kjerag, she could still bring a small stove back with her own hands.
But the publication of "The History of the Nations of Erzsl" was different. This was the most important task of this trip that Ernst had given her personally before she left. If this thing went wrong, she might have to consider whether to carry a bramble on her back when she returned.
Carrying a thorn stick to ask for forgiveness, this is also an allusion she learned during her time in Longmen.
"Governor Wei, did the publisher say how long it would take for the goods to arrive?"
Sitting in the living room of Wei Yanwu's house, Vina asked impatiently.
Wei Yanwu swallowed his saliva and kept a calm expression, but the teacup in his hand was shaking slightly, forcing him to pretend to pick up the cup and take a sip of the still scalding hot tea in it.
"Well, don't worry, Miss Vina, it will be soon, very soon."
He motioned to Vina to be patient.
"I have arranged for someone to go to the bookstore and bring it back as soon as the book arrives."
This was also Vina's first time to get involved in the publishing industry, so she naturally didn't know much. Generally speaking, before a book is officially published, the publisher should send the author a few sample copies for collection and giving away.
She didn't ask, and Wei Yanwu pretended to be unaware of it and didn't mention it.
Not only did he not mention it, no one in the entire Governor's Office was allowed to mention it.
