People in Terra, governing a weird little country

[Respect the king and expel the barbarians]!

Want to be the next Emperor Victoria?

The legitimate heirs are still here! Come up and deny your legitimacy first! You, the son of the beach, are an evil traitor!

It is true that the Duke of Windermere also dislikes the king, but it would be different if this king was supported by her.

What does it mean to be a follower of the dragon, a powerful minister, and a grand duke with real power on the border?

Standing Vice Emperor, Co-Rule Emperor, those who understand will understand.

Hearing the Duke of Windermere's words, Ernst was stunned at first, then nodded with emotion.

Although he didn't think that with Yelagund's protection, and he wasn't going to be so miserable as to have to flee to the Dukedom of Windermere, he was still very grateful that the other party had offered to provide political asylum.

Whether it is useful or not is one thing, attitude is another.

"Finally, the Duke of Windermere is willing to establish an embassy with Kjerag at the level of ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary in each other's territory. What do you think, Prime Minister Ernst?"

An ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, or simply an embassy at the level of a diplomatic ambassador, is generally sent by one country to another.

But Victoria had already entered a de facto state of division since the execution of the Lion King, with the usurpation of power by the various dukes becoming the norm, and the rank of the diplomats sent was naturally not so particular.

Anyway, the Lion King's family has no objection.

Upon hearing the news, Ernst naturally agreed.

This symbolizes that Kjerag has established the first normal diplomatic relations. This is a small step for Ernst, but a big step for the progress of international civilization!

The only downside is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seems to be deserted.

Vina, come back soon, our family has given us gold bars!

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

Holhaiya's voice sounded outside the door.

Ernst nodded to Amphillis and said:

"Please come in."

Holhaiya walked into the room at the right time with the letter of condemnation that he had prepared long ago.

PS:PY is a book, it’s really hard to break.

After traveling to the world of Collapse, Nanzhu suffers from [Honkai Disease]. If she wants to survive, she must find a way to deal with this thing that has a special attack on men.

I heard that playing the game [Apprentice Development Plan] can cure the Honkai Impact 3rd.

I've traveled through time, and you still want me to play games?

Thinking that since he was already here, why not give it a try, Nanzhu started the game.

"Jingliu, Cangcheng was destroyed and few people survived. I don't know what you saw, but I don't want you to live in the shadows."

"I will teach you a set of Taixu sword techniques, which can kill the evil creatures of abundance."

"Jingliu, this is all I can teach you. You have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

......

"Master, didn't you say that you would only accept one disciple from Jingliu in this life?"

"Really? But my sister also said that I only have one life.

Chapter 98 Preparation for the Second Recruitment

Both Windermere and Ernst were very pleased with today's success.

Especially when Holhaiya came in with a letter of condemnation against the Duke of Kaster. The serious military noble left with a smile on his face.

Many times, what people really see is just an attitude.

I help you, support you, and cooperate with you. Of course, I am repaying you, but I don’t expect any reliable return from you.

But I would be happy if you could say thank you to me after I have done all these things.

I was happy that this temporary relationship, which was originally just a favor, could gradually develop in the direction of normality and become friends and strategic partners.

And for the Duke of Windermere, no "thank you" could make her feel more comfortable than scolding the Duke of Caster, the son of the beach, in her ear.

This is like playing Europa Universalis 4. You originally wanted to form an alliance with the great Roman Sultan, but you almost didn't have enough favorability and they were only willing to give you a sum of money. Then you went up to them and cursed Austria, saying "neither, nor, nor, nor", and the great Roman Sultan was happy and began to show his green heart towards you.

As for Ernst, he didn't suffer any loss at all.

Holhaiya's letter will never be sent out. It is just a statement, just like when a few people formed a small group in high school to complain about another classmate in the class. Everyone gained emotional value, had fun, but still had to do their homework. The student who was complained about didn't know what happened at all.

Even if she really knew, given Kjerag's size and special geographical location, it would be like the "American Collapse" that experts inside the wall release every ten years. Would the United States be happy to hear it? Of course it would not be happy? But what can we do? Can you still hit me just because I said a few words to you?

Believe it or not, I'll let the big brother on my list (Duke of Windermere) and the boss of the publishing company (Yeragund) open your eyes.

After getting another order for "genuine leather sofas" from the Duke of Windermere at a price far exceeding the market price, Ernst sent Ampherisse and Delphine away with satisfaction.

They would rest in Kjerag for one night and return to Windermere the next day. They couldn't stay any longer, after all, Kent was not feeling well, and Windermere might cause some trouble, so someone had to go back to calm the situation.

After closing the door, Ernst began to think about a question just raised by the Duke of Windermere.

He is short of manpower again.

There is no hope for Longmen. Even if Vina feels the invitation of the gold bars at the village entrance and rushes back, Ernst is unlikely to send her to Victoria to be the ambassador to Windermere Kjerag.

His communication with the Duke of Windermere was already quite troublesome.

Otherwise, why do you think it was the Duke of Windermere who was always talking nonsense, while Ernst was always smiling and nodding, occasionally replying with OK or thank you?

He could understand it, but it was a bit torturous for him to speak it, as there was a difference between Victorian and English, not to mention that Ernst learned English with an American accent.

Perhaps the Duke of Windermere just felt that Ernst was maintaining his sense of mystery and authority as the Prime Minister and Son of God of the Snow Country, which had been closed off for a thousand years.

But Ernst simply couldn't help it. He didn't want to speak American English with a hint of Litang Ding Zhen in front of the British aristocrats in the other world, thus causing a diplomatic incident that even Snow Leopard couldn't bear to watch.

On the day she accepted the job offer, Vina expressed her desire not to return to Victoria for the time being. Ernst still respected the decision of the fleeing noble daughter.

I just hope that if she really thinks it through one day, stops running away from home, and decides to return to Victoria, her noble identity, which she doesn't want to explain too much, can give Shelag some gold coins.

In this case, the entire Kjerag government once again faces the problem of a lack of professional talent.

Recruiting again?

Ernst frowned.

It's not that we are worried that the expansion of the civil service will cause redundancy. The current Kjerag government is like a bag of Lays potato chips. If you say it's all air, that's biased. If you say there is really something inside, you can reach in and feel it to the bottom.

What was difficult for him was where to recruit people.

Speaking of reliable ones, it must be the operators in the Ark game that Ernst knows and has a vague idea of ​​their names. After all, they are real characters released by others, and except for a few who are suspected of employing child labor, the basic abilities of others are at least not bad.

But the point is that Ernst didn’t know several of the characters.

Among the few characters he knew, those who could speak fluent Victorian, preferably Victorian, had not joined any faction as of 1094, were willing to come to Kjerag, and were capable of performing the duties of diplomats could be counted on one hand.

And when he actually listed the operators that he knew a little bit about, he realized——

Wrong, one lot is a bit too aggressive.

Cheng Shan, who has the camel orange, you! and satellite pig memes, is not good enough. Ernst doesn't even know which city she is in. Besides, Cheng Shan's personality is too down-to-earth and she is not suitable to be a diplomat.

Ernst knew about the horn because of the "Do you think I'm stupid?" emoticon that was widely used by the group at that time, but she seemed to be a soldier. Ernst did not have the confidence to persuade a Victorian soldier to give up his promising military career and come to Kjerag to be a diplomat.

Well, after thinking about it, it seems that the only reliable person is Qin Liu, who uses "Sorrow" as a catchy phrase and caused Qin flu in the community before the big brother descended from the sky?

In Ernst's impression, Qin Liu seems to be a soldier of Victoria, but her rank and position are far inferior to those of Bugle, because she, like Chicken Essence and the strongest vanguard Myrtle, is a flag bearer of "Sir, this way!"

However, Qin Liu's qualifications are not bad. He is good-looking and is a Victorian. Because he is a ceremonial guard, he has received a certain degree of diplomatic etiquette training in addition to military training. If he can be recruited, he will be an excellent candidate for a diplomat.

The only problem is that Ernst may not be able to find her.

This is normal. SSRs like Vina and Xinteleya who just happened to come across it, and those like Joyce and Holhaiya who took the initiative to apply for it, cannot be drawn every time.

Most of the time, recruitment is like a process of sifting through the sand, and in the end only a few with a good foundation will be selected and then slowly trained.

Well, let's relax the standards. Victorians, Colombians, Leitanians, Yan people, as long as they can speak fluent Victorian with a light accent, they can be considered.

Under this minimum requirement, conduct another recruitment as soon as possible.

Having made up his mind, Ernst stood up and left the office.

He has to go negotiate with Enthiotis.

Chapter 99: Silver Gray: Lingzhi, you said, isn’t this a coincidence?

Kjerag, Tukarim, Kalan trade.

Enthiotis was of course the first to receive the news of such a major event as the Duke of Windermere Victoria's visit.

But unlike the past when he enthusiastically went to the station to greet Ernst, this time, he did nothing. He just stayed quietly in his office and let everything continue to run in the usual order.

This shocked Noah Edwards.

"Enchiodis, you weren't really defeated by your brother, were you?"

He asked with a hint of mockery. Normally at this time, Enthiotis would have given him a disdainful look, sneered, or simply retorted:

"I'm not someone who will admit defeat. If I lose this time, I can just try again next time."

But this time, he waited for a long time, but did not see even the slightest reaction he expected from Enthiotis's calm face.

Enchiodis was like a stone statue, sitting upright in his office chair, holding his teacup, sipping the warm black tea while watching the video that had been downloaded in advance on the computer in front of him.

He did not refute the provocation of the Gnosis, nor did he even respond.

This really pissed Lingzhi off. He, who was always outspoken, immediately cursed:

"Enchiodis, are you backing down after one or two failures? Are you willing to be a coward? Have you forgotten Kjerag's current situation? Have you forgotten the promise we made to revitalize Kjerag when we were studying abroad?"

Enchiodis finally raised his head and glanced at Lingzhi. Just when Lingzhi thought he had succeeded in provoking him, Enchiodis suddenly said:

"I haven't forgotten."

After saying that, he lowered his head again.

Now Lingzhi was completely stunned. He walked forward quickly, gathering all his Originium skills in his hands, and ice crystals condensed in his palms. He looked like he was going to wake Enchiodis up directly.

Then he was pushed to the ground by the mace.

As Enthiotis's bodyguard, Jian does not care about personal feelings when working. Even if Nosis wants to hurt Enthiotis, she will perform her duties without hesitation.

Liberi, who had no ability to resist, was pinned to the ground and began to struggle. Enthiotis finally turned his gaze to him and shook his head.

"Let him go, Mace."

Mace nodded and released the hands that were restraining Nosis.

Looking at the obviously out-of-control Liberia, Enthiotis couldn't help but sigh.

“Nosis, you are a little too impatient. I have not forgotten my promise to revitalize Kjerag, and I don’t need you to remind me, but you obviously don’t know my current situation.”

There are three laws in Terra: First, Sakota is small, and Sarkaz is big. Second, no matter what, Rhodes Island must be a medical company. Third, every time a story involves a trio, there must be a Liberi who is confused about the situation.

And Nosis is the unclear Liberi outside the trio of Enthiotis, Yelagund and Ernst.

"Zheng's plan has just been exposed and failed, and the Mountain Snow Ghost Army has been disbanded. The reason why Kalan Trade can continue to exist is entirely because Ernst is rational enough, considers the overall situation, and shows kindness and compromise to us. At this time, what we need to do is to recuperate and be obedient. If you want to make trouble at this critical juncture, hehe..."

Enthyodis smiled.

"You can go and fight Ernst yourself. Don't worry, I won't help you."

Enthiotis had already understood that it was impossible to fight Ernst with means outside the rules. Whether it was public opinion or divine will, the use of intelligence or the means of layout, he had clearly surpassed himself.

If you want to fight him, you have to use the most orthodox means.

Kalan Trade is doing its old business honestly, opening mines, factories, and exporting, providing real benefits to the people, and leading the people of Kjerag to prosperity. He gives normal speeches, canvasses for votes, gathers public opinion, and wins support.

Then, he defeated Ernst in the election four years later.

Although it takes a long time, the task is heavy, and the effect is slow, but there is nothing wrong with it. Even if he fails once, there are still second and third chances. During this period, he can also develop normally and promote the construction of Tukarim. It is not considered to be nothing.

Moreover, with the basic base of Kalan Trade, if it develops normally, he may not be able to compete with Ernst, who is still penniless.

Although Enthiotis was envious of Ernst's inexplicable income.

But Nosis had not experienced the games between Enthiotis and Ernst.

He was on forced leave during the Holy Stone Trial, he was on forced leave when Kent visited, and he was on forced leave during the Snow Mountain Incident.
