However, Ningguang was Ningguang after all. Even though she had not grown up yet, her intelligence and will were far superior to those of an ordinary child. She did not agree immediately, but after a moment of silence, she opened her mouth to ask Odis.
"May I ask what your name should be?"
Xiao Ningguang is very polite, or perhaps, this is something that every low-level person must master, otherwise you will die without knowing how you died.
"Enxi Odis, if you follow Liyue's way of speaking, you can call me Gu Cheng."
"Can I ask why it was me? There are many people like me."
This is what Xiao Ningguang wants to know most. She never thinks that she is special. If there is anything special about her, it is that she is a little prettier than ordinary girls, but that's all.
"I am the king who rules over a country as big as Liyue. The fact that you were chosen means that you have talents beyond ordinary people. I will not interfere with your choice. I give you this, and you can choose how to repay me."
Odis said in a very calm tone that Ningguang was not qualified to be his subordinate yet. She was too young and had a long way to go. All he could say was that there was a bright future ahead.
In the face of Odis's words, Ningguang fell silent again. She pinched the corner of her clothes with her little hands, very hard, until her fingers turned white, but she never stopped.
Ningguang took a deep breath, then stood up and raised the fruit basket in her hand towards Odis.
"I will give you my loyalty! This is all I have, and I will give it to you."
Odis watched what Xiao Ningguang was doing and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He murmured that if this was replaced with a fishing rod and then bent, the effect might be better.
"Then the deal is done. I hope to see your loyalty in the future."
"Now, follow me out to get something to eat."
"I, I have one last question. Can I still return to Liyue?"
"It will happen if we are destined to do so."
Odis came over and took the basket of fruit from Xiao Ningguang. He could feel Ningguang's reluctance and relief when the basket was released. If this basket of fruit was kept and shown to the Moon-covering Heavenly Power later, it might produce a very interesting picture.
When he thought of the grown-up version of Ningguang and saw the appearance of the fruit basket, Odis couldn't help but smile with joy.
Chapter 91: Iwanaga Kotoko can only suffer
With the previous recruitment experience, Odis quickly made arrangements for the two people. Kashena was first assigned to Iwanaga Kotoko, so that she could familiarize herself with the situation here and the international situation, while Xiao Ningguang was assigned to Amber, who asked Amber to teach Xiao Ningguang about business and management matters.
Moreover, little Ningguang can go to his library to read books at any time.
As the incarnation of the old black snake, Kasheina is good at both internal affairs and military affairs, but she is even better at plotting and scheming. With such a person, Odis at least has someone who can counterattack when facing a conspiracy.
In this regard, Iwanaga Kotoko is not as good as Old Black Snake. After all, Old Black Snake is really good at this, while Iwanaga Kotoko, like Odis, is more suitable for crushing with the kingly way and pushing forward with great force.
Odis is good at dealing with enemies head-on, while Iwanaga Kotoko is good at forcing the opponent to fight head-on.
Although this recruitment failed to recruit a big boss, it can be regarded as a great relief for the current shortage of internal affairs talents in Odis. However, there is still a lack of a person who can coordinate the overall situation, which is equivalent to a prime minister.
After all, if it is divided into three provinces and six ministries.
To Odis, Miss Demon King is equivalent to the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Industry, in charge of agriculture, land, water conservancy and other things. In the future, she can also be responsible for educating children and comforting the people.
Iwanaga Kotoko is the Ministry of Rites. She is the most suitable person for future diplomacy with other countries. Moreover, she can also be in charge of the Ministry of Justice. After all, Iwanaga Kotoko can only be described in two words when it comes to solving cases: fair, fair, and damn fair.
Wolfe was the Minister of War, in charge of foreign wars.
Odis has few people under him now, so he does all the work of the Ministry of Personnel by himself.
After Kashena has enough knowledge about this world, Odis will give part of the education to Kashena, and then transfer the intelligence agency in Amber's hands to Kashena. This old black snake is very suitable for this job. He is a natural leader of the Jinyiwei.
In this way, Odis's basic team is now in place. The reason why Odis is unable to handle everything now is because he lacks a cabinet or a reliable prime minister.
To be honest, if he could have a Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, or a Taifu of the Yan State, Odis would have much less worries.
Even if there is no such big man as prime minister, it would be fine to have a few reliable civil officials to form a cabinet.
Odis decided that if he couldn't find a reliable person in the next recruitment, he would have to let Iwanaga Kotoko suffer. After all, he was the god of wisdom and could learn things quickly.
At this moment, Kotoko Iwanaga, who was still working overtime to direct the refugees to build houses, suddenly sneezed, then rubbed her nose, wondering if she was going to catch a cold because she was too tired.
After finishing various things, Odis returned to his bedroom a little tired and fell asleep on the bed. Luca walked out from the shadows and looked at her master with some distress, but in the end she didn't make any sound, just took off her clothes, hugged Odis and fell asleep on the bed.
When Odis woke up, it was already the next day.
After sleeping for half a day and a whole night, he seemed to have lost all his fatigue. Moreover, after feeling Luca sitting on him, he pulled her over and had sex with her.
After Luca helped Odis bathe and change clothes, she asked Odis respectfully.
"Master, what are our plans for today? I will go inform Ram and Rem to prepare a carriage for you."
As the first person to become Odis's maid, Luca knows Odis's personality and work habits even better than the twin maids Ram and Rem, so she starts to relieve Odis's anger early in the morning and ensures that Odis can stay rational for the whole morning.
"Go meet Archbishop Eleonora. The problem of the increased concentration of dark elements in the territory's soil still depends on her to solve."
Odis was very confident that he could get Eleonora to agree to help. After all, she was a true saint and would not watch the people under Odis' rule starve to death.
Odis really admires this kind-hearted, selfless saint. Of course, if it were a saint bitch who asked others to sacrifice themselves for others, Odis said that it would be a waste to kill such a person, and the military whore camp of the Black Beast Corps would welcome her very much.
"Okay, Master. I'll go inform Ram and Rem right away."
During the time when Odis was away, Ram and Rem were in charge of the matters related to Odis City Lord's Mansion, and the problems that were originally to be reported to Odis for resolution were reported to Iwanaga Kotoko and Wolf for discussion and resolution.
As for the real big problems, Kotoko Iwanaga will communicate with Odis through the tavern.
Soon, Odis's carriage was ready. Before leaving, Odis gave Luca an order, which was to go and check on the condition of the half-elf knight Chloe and make her more obedient, as he might need to take her away for questioning later.
As an important witness, Chloe is one of the best evidences for Odis to prove that the Black Queen is about to be deified. Odis is thinking that how much assistance he can get from the Holy Kingdom depends on how much the Holy Kingdom values the Black Queen.
Because she was the Archbishop, Eleonora was arranged to live in another palace in Liyue City, which was second only to the Palace of the Lord of Odis. This time, the only person living with Eleonora was Iris. As for Claudia, she had no time to come because she was responsible for the defense of the Sixth Fortress of the Seven Shields Alliance.
Before Odis arrived, Ram and Rem had already sent people here to inform each other that Odis was coming, this was also to avoid Odis coming in vain and wasting time.
The luxurious carriage was driving slowly on the street, allowing everyone to see the carriage belonging to the City Lord, Lord Enxi Odis. This was actually intentional by Odis, as he would let everyone see it clearly every time he traveled.
Because this is a declaration of one's own strength, it can increase the loyalty and identity of the residents of the territory. It can also stimulate talented people in the territory to join one's side.
Otherwise, why did ancient emperors like to go out and tour the country during prosperous times?
About half an hour later, Odis arrived at the gate of the palace where Eleonora was. Ram and Rem got off the carriage first and spread out the carpet. Odis stepped on the red carpet and got off the carriage.
Eleonora and Iris were already waiting for him at the door. When they saw Odis coming, they came down the steps to greet him.
Chapter 92 Ram's Broken Horn
Northland, Shivaash Territory, Liyue City, the palace reception hall.
Eleonora was not at all surprised by Odis's visit, because she had guessed from the beginning that Odis would visit today. To be honest, she felt it was a little late to come at this time.
Now the two of them were sitting on the sofa in the reception hall, and Iris brought them some black tea.
Odis did not speak, but looked at Iris who was standing next to Eleonora. It would be best if what the two of them were going to talk about today was not known to a third person.
Eleonora was able to become a cardinal, so she was certainly not a fool, and she immediately gave Iris an order.
"Iris, please go down. I need to talk to Mr. Odis alone."
Iris nodded and turned to leave the reception hall. As soon as she walked out, she saw the twin maids, Ram and Rem. Iris liked these two cute little maids very much.
She couldn't help but talk to the two of them. She was like a good child who had just walked out of the house, curious about everything outside.
"Are you two the maids of Lord Odis? I am Iris Algadia, a knight princess of the Kingdom of Aurea."
Ram and Rem looked at each other. The Kingdom of Aurea was the Holy Kingdom, a name they had heard of before. Rem did not speak, while Ram respectfully lifted her skirt and saluted Iris.
"Ms. Iris, hello. I'm Ram, and this is my sister Rem. Is there anything we can do for you?"
Ram's attitude was very respectful and polite. She and her sister were the master's maids, so they had to follow the rules of maids. After all, her life was saved by the master, and her sisters had been taken advantage of by the master, so it was useless to regret it.
"I, I'm just a little curious. Are you twins?" Iris tilted her head slightly and looked at the pair of sisters with a curious look: "One of you has pink hair and the other has blue hair. It's so interesting. Also, it seems like you have a little horn on your head. It's so cute."
Iris's words made Ram and Rem's faces change slightly. Ram was fine, but Rem looked a little cold. Being asked about the differences between her and her sister, especially the mention of the horns on her head, directly touched Rem's taboo.
As for the reason, we have to start from when Rem was a child. She and her sister Ram are both ghosts, and ghosts normally have two horns, but because they are twins, Ram and Rem only have one horn.
This situation made her and her sister's existence almost a taboo in the ghost village. This also led to their very difficult life since childhood, but her sister Ram was too talented and her strength grew too fast.
But because of this, Rem began to feel inferior. Compared with her sister, she seemed to be the unlucky one who was abandoned.
As a demon, Rem can absorb magic through the white horn on her head to improve her physical ability and absorb the surrounding magic through it. However, since she was born with only one horn, she is weaker than ordinary demons, so she uses magic or weapons to make up for it.
On that day, the village was captured, her sister had her horns cut off and was seriously injured and on the verge of death. She cried in despair, but also smiled. It turned out that there were things her sister could not do.
When she and Ram were waiting to die, they were suddenly sent to the tavern, where she and her sister met Lord Odis. Her sister was rescued, and she was not rejected, and became the Lord's maid together with her sister.
Since her horn was broken, her sister's power has become very weak, even weaker than hers. If it weren't for Lord Odis regularly replenishing her sister Ram's magic, Ram would even die from the weakness of the magic power constantly lost from the broken horn.
Of course, Lord Odis had too much magic to replenish his energy, and her sister Ram could hardly bear it, so she volunteered to share the burden with her sister!
Ram and Rem never mentioned these things to anyone. Ordinary people could not see the hidden horns on Rem's head, and Ram's broken horns were even better hidden.
I didn't expect to be discovered today. If this wasn't the wrong place, Rem might have been venomous. But before Rem could say anything, the ordinary Ram had already reached out and held Rem's little hand, calming her sister down.
"We are twins. The reason I don't have horns is because I was injured and it never healed."
Unlike Rem, Ram didn't think losing her horn was a bad thing. At least her sister didn't cling to her like this before. And... Ram thought about the feeling every time she replenished her magic, and her face turned slightly red.
"Injured?" Iris looked at Ram's head with some curiosity. She was the most promising young generation of the Holy See and had a lot of life-saving props on her, one of which was the Eye of Lathander with real vision.
Because of this, she could see the aqua blue horns on Rem's head. When she looked closely at Ram, she also saw the pink horns that had been violently cut off by a knife.
"Can you let me take a look!? I might be able to help you heal. We in the Holy Kingdom are the best at this. We can even resurrect the dead!"
Iris did not lie, but the resurrection of the dead happened tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, the gods of this world had not disappeared, and the God of the Dawn, Lathander, would still cast his eyes on them.
At that time, the Pope and cardinals of the Holy See had a ninth-level divine art - the art of complete resurrection.
As for the conventional resurrection spell, it actually exists now, but it is also a divine spell of up to seven rings. Currently, only the legendary priests of the Holy See or the apostles of Losander can use it.
Ordinary resurrection of the dead requires that the dead body is intact and not decayed. It is just to call the soul of the dead back to the body and heal the fatal injuries. If the dead are missing arms and legs, or are cursed by magic, resurrection of the dead is powerless.
As for the Nine Rings Divine Art, the Complete Resurrection Art is very powerful. It has only two conditions for use:
1. Dead organisms cannot be dead for more than 200 years.
2. The cause of death cannot be natural causes.
In addition, no matter you have been dead for one day, one year, or a hundred years; no matter your cause of death is beheading, poisoning, curse, burning, freezing, or lightning, and your body is crushed to ashes, made into a mummy, or pulled up and turned into a skeleton soldier, your soul is now enjoying happiness in heaven, fighting in hell, or reincarnated for several lifetimes.
I tell you to live, and you must live!
It doesn't matter if your body is gone. We will create a new one for you out of thin air, guaranteed to be brand new from the factory. Any missing limbs or chronic diseases you had during your lifetime will be cured all at once.
Others may not know about this, but Iris, as the future star of the Holy See, is naturally clear about it.
Chapter 93: Healing the pain of the world is our duty
Upon hearing that her sister might be cured, Rem's eyes immediately lit up. She ran to Iris and started acting cute. She often used this trick on Odis and it always worked.
"Lady Iris, can you really cure my sister?"
Rem's feelings towards Ram are very complicated. In her early years, she was often compared with her sister and felt a little inferior, but she also had respect for her sister.
After her sister Ram lost her horn, Rem took on the main work. She was better at cooking and cleaning than her sister, and her fighting ability was stronger than her sister who had lost her horn. In particular, when replenishing magic, Rem took on a considerable part of Odis's magic source.
Because of this, Rem's attitude towards her sister has long changed, and she has become a complete sister-con.
"I don't know, but we can try. Even if I don't believe it, there is still Lady Eleonora. She was once a saint and is now a cardinal. She can definitely do it!"
Iris patted her chest to assure him, but compared to Eleonora and Rem, Iris's chest was a bit disappointing. There was no visible ripples when she patted it.
"Thank you so much! Lady Iris, please come to the City Lord's Mansion. I will personally cook for you to thank you."
Rem's eyes were a little red, and Ram was also a little excited. Because of her broken horn, her strength has not been able to improve. Even with Odis's magic, she can only fight for three minutes at most each time.
According to Lord Odis, even Ultraman is not as good as him.
"It's okay. Please come with me. I'll check Miss Ram first."
After Iris finished speaking, she took Ram and Rem away. However, the three people did not know that their conversation was heard clearly by Odis and Eleonora in the room.
"Bishop Eleonora, I think I'll have to trouble you later. My little maid's horn is a little special, and it probably can't be restored by Iris."
Odis had thought about treating Ram before. After all, once Ram's horn was healed, his future growth potential would be at the demigod level. To be precise, Ram's potential was as high as the upper limit of this world.
