In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

After a moment of silence, Lamaren gave her answer.

Although she is also a force in the royal court, she is on Theresa's side at this time.

She saw clearly that the excessive power of the royal court had begun to affect the existence of the Demon King.

This phenomenon has existed for a long time, but it has never been as acute as it is today.

The reason for this is that Dukare, the lord of the powerful Blood Demon Court, is now openly rebelling against the Demon King.

This has had extremely dire consequences.

"We must find a way to weaken the power of those royal courts."

Lamaren spoke, her tone solemn.

The twins beside him also nodded seriously.

Whether it was Theresa or Theresis, they had indeed seen enough of the existence of these royal court masters.

They must find a way to bring back the power of these royal courts.

but……

"If we recruit them directly, they will likely become dissatisfied or even rebel. The worst-case scenario is a civil war."

Tracy spoke from the side, his tone also solemn.

Everyone was somewhat helpless about this issue.

They really don't have any good solutions.

Theresa also slightly shook her eyes, looking at the seat in the conference room that had not been occupied for many years...

"It would be nice if she were here."

Maybe it was because Tracy had just mentioned the other person, but Theresa also missed that woman at this moment.

If she were there, with her reputation and ability, everyone could completely rely on their strength to suppress other royal courts, forcing them to voluntarily hand over their power, and then incorporate and reform them.

If she were there, all the problems would not be so troublesome. They could easily suppress the opposition and move forward with the plan.

"If...she were here."

Theresa sighed and lowered her eyes.

Tracy, who was standing aside, paused for a few seconds and then chose to leave temporarily without saying a word.

Theresa remained silent in the room for a while before returning to her heavy workload.

The only one left was Ramalen.

She sat quietly in her seat, silently stroking the ring on her hand.

The sunlight outside the window penetrated the glass, but failed to shine on her.

Her long black hair made her look even more fragile.

After a while.

A faint sigh came from this empty room...

"Maria..."

338

Chapter 338 I'll take over!

Time passes.

Maria waited a long time for the doll to contact her, but the contact was in vain.

Compared with Yan Country, this time's timeline is obviously not that long, but perhaps because of Godan's interference, it has become extremely difficult to contact.

In desperation, Maria had to start studying the documents given by the priest on her own.

But unfortunately, because these things belonged to a very long time ago, Maria found it difficult to distinguish their contents. In addition, due to the lack of reference materials, the deciphering work came to a standstill several times.

This difficulty is not ordinary.

Even Maria doubted whether the doll could decipher this thing.

After all, although the puppet is capable, it is not a universal wish-making machine. Without any reference, it will still be very troublesome to understand the content of the document.

This also gave Maria a headache.

Where can I find someone who understands this ancient language?

And it was during this wait that time came to October 1029.

War breaks out in Gaul and Lethani...

Maria was not as surprised as others about this.

In fact, when the coalition forces attacked, there was already friction and hostility between Gaul and Lethania, but at that time they needed to target Kazdel, so they did not really tear each other apart for the time being.

Later, because Maria alone annihilated all the troops of both sides in the city of Kazdel, an internal vacuum period occurred on both sides, so they were unable to attack each other and were temporarily suppressed.

A hundred years is enough time for both sides to recover.

At this time, it is time to settle the accounts...

If there was one thing Maria hadn't anticipated, it was Kazdel's reaction.

Maria originally thought that the war factions were just using the excuse that they were worried that the two countries were preparing to jointly attack Kazdel again, so she requested troops to be deployed for defense.

And this time, after the two sides really started fighting, two factions emerged internally.

The war faction still advocated taking action, believing that this was the best opportunity to show everyone in the world the power of Kazdel.

But the peace faction believes that this matter has nothing to do with us, and Kazdel should focus on building the country.

Judging from the news, the war faction can obviously get more support from people in Kazdel, while the voice of the peace faction is weaker.

But no matter which side it is, they can only be said to have occupied a small area in Kazdel.

The vast majority of Sarkaz people actually do not make any noise about this, but choose to remain silent.

But from Maria's observation, it's not so much that these people don't care, but rather that Kazdel still hasn't come out of his numbness.

They are already used to it.

Theresa's handling and arrangements did allow them to live a temporarily stable life, but they were pessimistic about such a life.

They don’t know whether they will still be able to enjoy such a life tomorrow.

Everyone is trying hard to live in the present time, burning all his life.

This is worthy of respect, but also a bit heartbreaking and sad.

Maria couldn't say anything about this and could only watch it all silently.

The most crucial thing is that Kazdel's top management has not responded to this yet, which is a bit puzzling.

But none of this has anything to do with Maria anymore.

She just sat quietly in the chair, comparing the documents in front of her.

Warfarin was lying there bored.

“There are so few patients recently…”

"Isn't this nice?"

Maria was a little confused when she heard Warfarin's complaints.

After all, Warfarin doesn't actually make a living from this thing. If that's the case, then the number of patients doesn't really have much impact on her, right?

And Warfarin just complained.

"Nothing, I just feel that our Demon King is quite decisive. He made the decision so quickly."

Huafalin shook her head, then looked at Maria in front of her.

“Maybe the control order has been issued.”

"Control order?"

"It's a decree to prevent everyone from causing trouble or conflict..."

Looking at Maria's expression, Huafalin knew that she definitely hadn't been paying attention to the recent situation... Of course, she wasn't in a position to criticize others. After all, she herself had only learned about the situation a few days ago, more than a month after the control order was issued.

Seeing Maria's puzzled look, she handed her a report.

Maria looked at it for a few seconds and shook her head slightly.

"A very naive order..."

There was no explanation of the punishment, no indication of the circumstances, only a few simple commands, but there was no sign of any authoritative control.

If Maria were to comment, this would be just a ridiculous proposal.

Unrestrained majesty.

And Huafalin beside her also nodded seriously.

"Indeed... but this is not actually the biggest problem with this control order."

"Ok?"

"The biggest problem is that most of the people who are most capable of causing trouble are illiterate."

Huafalin spread his hands and smiled, which was unclear whether it was sarcastic or helpless.

"Our Demon Lord promoted universal education, but she clearly overestimated others' understanding of it... The vast majority of Sarkaz are illiterate. Those truly capable of learning are likely those who emerged in the past decade or so... but they're still too young and immature."

Huafalin said this while rolling around on the bed out of boredom.

Maria also raised her eyebrows slightly at this time.

She suddenly remembered something.

"Warfarin, you...were a noble before?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask?"

Huafalin was a little confused.

But Maria just turned her back to the woman and spoke slowly.

"When we first met, Theresa hadn't become the Demon King yet... At that time, you already knew medicine, were well-spoken, and had your own ideas. Ordinary people don't think about so many things. They just need to work hard to survive."

"Well...it's actually true."

Huafalin saw that Maria had no intention of turning around. Her blood-red eyes rolled around a few times, and then she tiptoed towards Maria.

Maria just looked up at the window in front of her and then lowered her head again.

"My family was indeed well-off when I was a child... Although I can't remember how well-off we were now, I still remember that I could afford a teacher to teach me."

"But this situation didn't last long. After Dukare took over as the Lord of the Blood Demon, some problems arose in our family."

"Life at home was getting worse day by day. In the end, we didn't have much left. After Dad and Mom passed away, I went out on my own..."

She spoke in a casual manner, but her eyes were fixed on Maria's neck.

Maria still didn't raise her head and continued to study at her desk.

"Don't you ever think of going back to take a look?"

Maria spoke calmly.

But Huafalin on the side just curled her lips.

"We don't have so many weird traditions. The living shouldn't hesitate too long for the dead... Besides, I went back to take a look later, but guess what?"

"Ok?"

"My parents' graves and the hill are gone."

Huafalin spoke, still smiling.

Maria paused for a few seconds, then turned slightly and looked at the other person.

At this time, Huafalin was still tiptoeing, preparing to launch a sneak attack on Maria. When she saw Maria turned around, she suddenly felt embarrassed for a few seconds, and then turned her head away subconsciously.

But unexpectedly, this time Maria did not attack her, but just blinked at her.
