Elf brother as my tool man

"Almost all the power of the Kingdom of Gran belongs to the royal family, which is very different from the human empire." Count Laco introduced, "You know, the human emperor only owns two of the five crowns of his de jure kingdom. and Quiara, and the land that is actually controlled is even less. However, in the Kingdom of Gran, all the land in the kingdom legally belongs to the royal family." "Then what does this have to do with the River and Lake Research Association?" Asong asked road. "Don't worry, listen to me." Count Laco raised his hand and said, "But the Kings of Gran cannot manage such a large territory by themselves. Therefore, he must send officials to various places. Generally speaking, for them , a territory the size of a principality is called a region, and a county is called a province." "In other words, the title is just an honor, and only the officials of the region and province have power. Is that what you mean?" Ah Song had previously said about the Forest Elf Kingdom. Systems of power are also understood. "However, there is a corresponding place for the title." Count Laco introduced, "Since the Forest Elf Kingdom belongs to the Forest Elf, there are quite a few places where magical changes occur." "It seems that they have returned to the River and Lake Research Association. That's over there," Ah Song sighed. "That's right. Aberrant places like the Black Forest are called forbidden places in our place, and only a few research organizations are allowed to enter and exit, including the River and Lake Research Association." Count Laco continued to introduce, "And these forbidden places , some are very big, even as big as a county. The titles corresponding to these forbidden areas have therefore become honorary titles." "I understand." Asong nodded, "This Lako is actually the River and Lake Research Association now. "You are absolutely right." Count Laco nodded, "Moreover, it is a county controlled by them. Of course, if you ask the president of the River and Lake Research Association, the president will definitely write to tell You: No, we don’t control that place. As we all know, it is controlled by mutations.” “It’s possible that the president really doesn’t know those things.” Ah Shun pointed out, “After all, the president is just their apparent leader. Maybe secretly, the leader has someone else." "So, do you think the president doesn't know about the darkness under the water? He knows much better than us." Count Laco shook his head, "Do you think he wants to get rid of those Druids? He just wants to use these remnants to seek status for himself." "Maybe this was true before, but it is different now." Ah Song sighed, "The current president has broken with those existences under the water. "If there is such a thing," Count Laco raised his head and asked suspiciously, "then he has broken with most of the members of the River and Lake Research Association." "To be precise, he is still somewhere in the Le Bon Kingdom." , protected by Ms. Marquis." Qiao Chenxi replied, "Of course, if there are any members of the River and Lake Research Association you know who have the same idea as him, are there any?" "To be honest, I really don't know a few of them. A member of the River and Lake Research Association." Count Laco said with a straight face, "But what I know is that studying rivers and lakes and studying elemental mutations are just two of its superficial uses. Fundamentally, rivers Lake Research Association is a political entity." "What is a political entity?" asked Asong. "It's similar to the roles of a prince and a principality." Qiao Chenxi explained. "That makes sense." Ah Song suddenly discovered something. He recalled what Whale said before, "If the sources of mutation everywhere in the Kingdom of Gran are regarded as the territory of the River and Lake Research Association," "Then River and Lake The Research Association itself is a marquisdom." Qiao Chenxi also realized this. "No wonder the president is treated like a marquis in your place," Asong suddenly realized, "In addition, he is the same as those lords who have no power. If every lord who is the source of mutation is regarded as his vassal, then he Isn't it just a lord whose vassals are too strong and unable to control them?" "This is not the most important thing." Count Laco shook his head, "As a territory, where do their assets come from? Have you ever thought about it?" "Many strange things. Things that are useful for witchcraft and natural research should be produced near the source of change. Things that don’t need to be resold can be sold for a fortune." Ah Song thought, "I can’t think of anything else." "You forgot that declaration document The River and Lake Research Association shouldn't engage in charity and produce documents for the horse thieves gang for free." Qiao Chenxi still has lingering fears when she thinks of that declaration document. "The problem pointed out by Miss Le Pen touches on the fundamentals." Count Laco gave Qiao Chenxi a thumbs-up, "This kind of activity is called political brokering, and it is also one of the responsibilities of the River and Lake Research Association." "I know about brokers. Things like what Ah Wei does are the work of brokers." Ah Song nodded and said, "What does political broker mean?" "Mr. Earl, this is the first time I heard this metaphor. I think it is very appropriate." ." Qiao Chenxi agreed, "Ah Song, if you want to explain the term political broker, just replace the business of introducing transactions for others and earning commissions from them." "I kind of understand." Ah Chan suddenly realized, "Is this the responsibility of the third River and Lake Research Association that we have suspected before?" "If we insist on saying so, this responsibility may still be the most important responsibility of the River and Lake Research Association." Count Laco pointed out, "In On the west side of the rocky continent composed of plains, principalities are basically divided by rivers. Which river is the main trunk and which season's river bed is used as the basis for demarcation are probably not purely academic issues." "So that's it." Ah Song He exclaimed, "After what you said, Mr. Earl, I understand its importance." "If the Quisling Kingdom can be rebuilt, we will also have to form a river and lake research association." Qiao Chenxi is rarely surprised by these things. But when she realized that the River and Lake Research Association could take charge of "demarcation" matters, she still took a stand. "So I see, although its top manager and president have the same status as a marquis, if you completely control this organization, your status will be no less than a duke." Count Laco made a gesture, "That means "Look, your status in the Gran Kingdom is equivalent to that of the district chiefs." "A district chief should be on an equal footing with Fort Levi." Ah Song became excited. "Why are you excited? Even if the president regains control of the association, it will be equal to the president and the general." Qiao Chenxi glanced at Ah Song. "Anyway, you two, if you both want to come to the auction tomorrow, we will meet at the auction." After Count Laco finished speaking, he said hello and left with his bag. "Goodbye" Qiao Chenxi was about to leave, and Ah Song sent them downstairs.
