The Holy See does not want to have a stalemate with the Magic Association, and the Magic Association also does not want to go to war with the Holy See.But the Magic Association can't let its magicians die in vain, otherwise there is no need for this association to exist, and it can no longer exist at all, so there is a so-called questioning letter for the Holy See to clear itself from this matter This opportunity allows the Magic Association to let go of its hands and feet and take revenge on the direct perpetrators without any scruples.

But ever since the Lucifer family was massacred again, this group of silver armored knights seemed to have disappeared from the land of the Yalong Empire, never showing a trace.The Magic Association once sent a wind magician to follow them, but within half a day, the magician lost contact with the communication tower. Two days later, the Magic Association found his body hanging upside down in a forest.

When the Magic Association tracked down the group of silver-armored knights, Hill was also busy, but the place where he was busy was no longer in the office of the Military and Political Department, but in the palace of Prince Siris.

On the second day after Prince Siris returned to Assia, Hill was transferred from the Military and Political Office by him and given the title of accompanying clerk to accompany him and assist him in handling government affairs.

Hill originally thought that this was an easier job than being a civil servant in the Military and Political Department, but after working for a day, he found that he was almost carrying the title of a clerk, taking on heavy responsibilities that even the prime minister might not be able to take on.

——Emperor De Rossi allocated too much government affairs to Sirius!

Hill couldn't help but have various doubts.

At Sirius' age, it is natural to get in touch with government affairs, but there should be something appropriate to correspond with the contact, instead of cramming all kinds of things to him without prioritization like now, as if it was once Like the crash course for brides that was once popular, people can't help but have the weird idea that De Rossi wants to turn Seres from a prince to an emperor in a very short period of time.

But after thinking about it, Hill realized that such a thing is really possible!After all, the founding emperor of Yalong, Borgia the Great, left such ancestral teachings. Although it is impossible for De Rossi to hang himself to apologize, he must not sit on the throne anymore, otherwise he will inevitably become a target for attack , triggering a new crisis within the empire.

Thinking of this, Hill immediately tested Sirius' tone.Sirius didn't hide it from him, and frankly admitted Hill's guess, and told Hill that the corresponding ceremony would be held within one to two months, and relevant news would be released after the situation became more stable .

"Your Highness, please add some more 'clerks'. There are so many things that the two of us can't handle!" Hill asked with a wry smile.

"I'm really sorry, Sir, the only person I can trust now is you, and please don't shirk your responsibility, and work hard with me for a while!" Sirius replied with a smile, "Please don't worry, send it to me. The documents here are all just copied attachments, and the originals are waiting to be processed by the emperor and the ministers according to the formal process, so we just need to do it with all our heart, and don't have to worry about making any mistakes."

Hill said that only out of a necessary humility. From the bottom of his heart, he certainly hopes to be able to get in touch with state affairs, strengthen his experience in political affairs, and lay a solid foundation for his future career as a power minister.

Although Hill doesn't like his grandfather, his life plan for himself is somewhat similar to his grandfather's. However, Hill's ambition is not as huge and unrealistic as his grandfather's. He doesn't care whether he can become the one with the highest status. I want to be the one that no one can shake, at least, I can't return to the territory in despair like my grandfather just because I received a flimsy letter of appointment and dismissal.

——Such a shameful thing, he will never allow it to happen!

Hill secretly clenched his fists.

While Hill was familiarizing himself with government affairs with Sirius, other officials in the city of Assia were also busy.Although the Bloodthorn Legion has been destroyed, the three southwestern provinces and several other provinces and counties that have been crushed by the rebels need to deal with the aftermath, dispatch new officials, appease the local people, and conduct a detailed investigation of the incident, so as to increase Defense so as not to make the same mistake in the future.

At the same time, the issue of whether to form a new legion in the three southwestern provinces has just been raised by the Military and Political Department, and has not yet been formally discussed in the imperial meeting. The Lucifer family was almost extinct, all members of the family who truly had the direct blood of Lucifer died, and there were very few people with direct titles who could inherit the corresponding titles, so the Minister of Law had to report this matter to De Rossi, ask him to rule on the ownership of the title and the management of the territory.

But the verdict against the Lucifer family was far from as easy as the McHale family who had also been massacred.After the Bloodthorn Legion was wiped out, De Rossi quickly ordered to change Montreal, which had lost its owner, to a province, and sent a new governor and a series of officials there.No one questioned this. The McHale family, which originally ruled Montreal, had no heirs, and several collateral relatives did not have the qualifications and ability to manage the territory at all.

The Lucifer family looked very similar to the McHale family, but its previous patriarch, Moriarty, adopted an adopted daughter before his death, and gave her the qualifications and power to inherit all his property.If this adopted daughter is just an ordinary woman, maybe De Rossi will ignore her existence and nationalize Miranda County, at most give this woman a little compensation in terms of money.

But the problem is that the adopted daughter left by Moriarty is not an ordinary woman, she is the fiancée of the heir to the Balotelli family, and she is also the sister of the new president of the Magic Association, even if the president has broken with her, But as long as they are both alive, no one dares to ignore their relationship.

However, this woman also did not have the ability to manage the family territory. Before the attack on the Oracle Manor, she had no heir education at all, and she was all about getting married, and she was just waiting to be the mistress of the Balotelli family!Now that she is suddenly thrown a huge territory for her to manage, no one dares to imagine how this territory will be managed by her!

The most troublesome thing is not this, just when the ministers were arguing about how to deal with the title and territory of the Lucifer family, a minister who was not open-eyed raised a more difficult issue to De Rossi—— Should the territory of the Chimera family be returned to the descendants of the Chimera family.

Word of Keech's Chimeran ancestry began long after he assassinated Moriarty.After he completed the Great Mage assessment, the Magic Association also confirmed this rumor with a high profile.Now that he has become the new president, no one dares to question the matter of blood unity.

But De Rossi didn't want to hear this at all. According to his original plan, as long as Kiki didn't mention it, he would never take the initiative to return it. After a little trial at the celebration banquet where Kiki became a great magician, De Rossi is even more firm in this idea.Regrettably, the minister under him did not understand his mood at all. He thought he could use this method to please the Magic Association, so he brought it up at the imperial meeting, making De Rossi want to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb It's impossible.

Fortunately, both the Lucifer family and the Chimera family are facing the same problem, that is, the heirs are like marshals without soldiers, without retinues, without retainers, and they want to rely on the power of one person to manage The civilians and land in a county are nothing short of fantasy, and the survival of the local people is treated like a trifling matter.

Therefore, De Rossi brought up the management issue after the return of the territory, and asked the ministers to solve this first, and then consider others.

After hearing the news, Sirius also discussed with Hill half-jokingly, and even asked him bluntly if he would marry a Marquis as his wife.

"Maybe you want to hear me say 'no', but unfortunately, all I can tell you is 'yes'." Hill replied with a smile.

"Only?" Sirius raised his eyebrows pretending to be surprised.

"Yes, only." Hill shrugged, "First, she is the heir chosen by His Excellency; second, the blood of the Chimera family flows in her body; third, I have Had an engagement ceremony with her."

"I thought there would be another reason," Sirius said pointedly.

"Sorry to disappoint you." Hill smiled faintly.He knew that the other reason Seris said was the so-called "love", but the relationship between him and Li Qi was so weak that he couldn't even conceive the idea of ​​self-deception, and naturally he didn't want to use it as a List the reasons for others to ponder.Of course, she may love him, and she is about to become a marquis, and she still wants to be his wife instead of breaking the engagement and finding another groom.

Sirius didn't say much about Hill's private life, and after teasing, he turned to ask: "Then, how does Sir Hill think the territorial issue of the Lucifer family and the Chimera family should be resolved?"

"There is only one way I can think of, trusteeship." Hill also quickly returned to the state of a monarch and minister.

"Do you mean to manage it?" Sirius was slightly taken aback.

"Yes." Hill nodded, "Since they can't manage it themselves, His Majesty can send officials to manage it on their behalf, retain the name and ownership of the county, implement the provincial system and management, and draw from the income of the territory Part of it is paid by the officials."

"Do you think they'll agree?" Sirius narrowed his eyes.

"If you mean Lucifer and Chimera, I can tell you with certainty that they will." Hill smiled confidently.

Li Qi had no idea at all about this kind of matter. When she learned that she might inherit everything from the Lucifer family, she entrusted all the decision-making power to Hill like a treasure.As for Keech, he obviously doesn't care much about the meager benefits and a little bit of power that the territory can bring, but their younger brother Rocky may have doubts, but how many people will care about the opinions of an intermediate magician Woolen cloth?

Sirius also understood what Hill meant, pondered for a while, and said, "Perhaps, we can improve this opinion and submit it to the emperor for decision."

"Happy to help, Your Royal Highness." Hill leaned forward and replied.

In fact, the issue of the territory only makes De Rossi depressed, and does not make him irritable. After all, this matter can be delayed as long as possible in a more vague way. The solution doesn't affect anything.What really gave De Rossi a headache and made the entire imperial capital anxious was that the missing Kesley and others have still not been heard from, and the mysterious silver armored knights continued to maintain their mystery.

Seeing that it has been almost a week since the destruction of the Bloodthorn Legion, the search for the two groups of people still has no progress.Those silver armored knights can still be traced step by step. Anyway, it is impossible for the Magic Association to give up their pursuit of them. However, if the royal family members such as Prince Kesley and the family members of important ministers cannot find out the news, not only De Rossi himself will not feel at ease, but he will not be able to Explain to those important ministers who also have relatives missing, such as the Duke of Grant.

Just when De Rossi was already considering whether to force Sirius to marry a human wife, and how to appease Duke Grant's family, a person suddenly fell from the sky, bringing a huge turn for the situation.

It happened in the middle of the night. The guards in the palace were patrolling the garden when they heard a loud noise, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. They rushed over and found a blood-stained man lying dying. on the grass in the garden.The guards hurriedly drew out their long swords and were about to arrest him, but the man on the ground spoke weakly and called out the name of a guard on duty, "Adam, it's me."

"Joy!" Upon hearing this voice, the other guards immediately recognized the man's identity, and it turned out to be Joey Grant who had been missing for a long time with Prince Kesley.The guards hurriedly put away their long swords, stepped forward to help Joey up, and at the same time assigned their hands to report the matter to Emperor De Rossi.

Hearing that Joey appeared in the garden of the palace, although De Rossi was very surprised, he summoned him immediately.However, Joey refused to confess the cause and effect of the incident to De Rossi immediately, only saying that he was rescued by someone, and asked to meet his friend Hill.

De Rossi was naturally more puzzled, but he still complied with Joey's request calmly.

As a result, Hill, who was still asleep, was picked up from the bed by his father Angel and brought to the palace.

When Hill came to the palace, Joey had already cleaned his body, changed his clothes, and sat in a small living room in the palace, eating and drinking wildly, like a disaster victim who had been hungry for several days.

"Sill, I'm so glad I'm still alive to see you!" Seeing Hill push the door in, Joey immediately raised his hand to greet him, but his mouth was full of food, and his speech was slurred.

Seeing that Joey was still alive and his injuries didn't seem serious, Hilton took a long breath, walked up to him, and asked bluntly, "What happened?"

"A group of powerful warriors hijacked us to the Magic Association." Joey swallowed the food in his mouth and replied quickly.

"Magic Association?" Hilton was startled, but then frowned, "Wait, tell me first, why did you insist on meeting me first instead of telling His Majesty the matter directly?"

"It's actually not you that I want to meet." Joey paused. "The person I really want to meet is your magician friend Kiki. I have something very important to tell him."

"Tell him first, instead of His Majesty?" Hill asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes." Joey nodded solemnly, "I owe him this."
