brave man i love you
Chapter 49. The first clues
Red velvet is wrapped in golden edges, softly covering the thick mahogany table top.The pure white scroll is placed in the center, which is very conspicuous.
The lord wearing the crown twirled the seal with his fingers, and affixed the sea wave emblem on the ordered scroll. The acting consul respectfully classified the processed scrolls and put a new scroll on it himself.
Seeing the pattern of butterflies in the lower right corner, Alice clearly gave permission and stamped it, which was the [must give permission] secret code that Mephisto had agreed with her.I just took a look at it after I finished building it. It said that I want to exchange the magic items and services on the list for the mining right of a certain mine for the next year. Whatever, I can’t understand it anyway.
Both Mr. Syrio and Mephisto have clearly hinted that the applications sent to Alice have been carefully selected, and there is no need to reject them if there is no accident.Guan Guan occasionally gave an overview of the situation, which accelerated her stamping speed.
Especially the application involving partial transfer of rights, originally had to be reviewed and signed by Andrea according to the law.Fortunately, in the kingdom laws and city-state laws of this world, 16 years old is already considered an adult, but the church still stipulates that 18 years old is an adult.Now that Alice can act on her behalf, it is really much more convenient.
No wonder there are so many applications involving mineral veins, ships, commercial roads, and urban construction recently. It seems that they were all blocked by Andrea before... However, if I were her, I would definitely draw Meris' money to support myself You can't kill your army at the first glance, can you?
What's more, based on some information, it is speculated that the development of commerce and agriculture in Yanghu Territory has not been very good in recent years.
The "sister" named Andrea is really not good at business. Is it really the rumored person who "knows nothing except leading troops and swordsmanship"?
"My lord, there is a proposal I hope you can approve." After finishing all the scrolls, Syrio said earnestly: "It's about armaments."
"I can't control the armaments of the Yanghu territory... Is it Melis's?" Alice is not going to confront the Juggernaut head-on, she will die if she is killed.
"Yes, it's Meris' knight team. It was disbanded for various reasons before, leaving only two teams, the city guard and the guard knights. Now there is a problem with the law and order in various places. I hope you can order to allocate part of the autumn harvest surplus. Build another security patrol team." Syrio said as he unfolded the financial statements he had made.
"No problem at all~ This is a good thing. What's the problem with the security problem? Also, I'm building a security patrol team. Sister Andrea won't have any objections, right?" Alice agreed bluntly, and the application at the end of the report Sign and seal the expenditure item column.
"Witches will be more active during autumn hunting. Some towns without magic defense equipment have a small number of people missing. As for Ms. Andrea, she will definitely not object to this." Syrio put away the scroll respectfully, the maid Put fresh blueberries and egg pudding on the table.
A kitten with pure white mandarin duck eyes jumped onto the lord's lap. After finishing the government affairs in the afternoon, he felt relaxed and comfortable.
Tia should be practicing swordsmanship every day now, and it must be practicing against Lance. It's better not to think about it.No, what should I do instead of thinking!Don't let your promises slacken.
Patting the cat, Alice ran to change into light clothes, declined all kinds of care from the servants, and went straight to where Tia was - different from what she thought at first, the servants told her that Tia was in the database Review the books of accounts for each year.
It seems to be the case, Alice belatedly remembered that on the second day after she came to Meris, she took Tia to read the brochure once, and then she was no longer interested in reading it, only responsible for Looking at the application and stamping, but Tia asked for a certificate of access to the database, and I didn't care about it at the time... because Tia was originally interested in the economy!
Under the magic lamp, Tia carefully looked at the account book, flipping through the pages one by one, and occasionally recited some numbers silently. Many strange symbols were recorded on the pen and paper on the right hand side.
Alice stood on tiptoe and covered Tia's eyes from behind: "Guess who I am~" The deliberately sharp tone could not conceal the girl's little excitement.
"I guess it's Alice?" There is only one answer to this question. Before Alice pouted and acted like a baby, Tia stood up first, and pulled the girl into her arms: "Let's work hard on government affairs today, what do you think?" Sample?"
"Hmph~ not so good, I'm just a human flesh stamping machine!" Satisfied, I couldn't help asking a certain question that was on my mind: "Tia, Lance Beria...how is it?" You've been a little far away recently? Didn't she stick to you before?" This is too abnormal.
"Lance? I gave her some tasks, and I'm investigating some things recently, so don't worry about going out early and returning late." Alice, whose hair was stroked, narrowed her eyes comfortably: "I won't worry about her ~"
"Don't be hostile to her, Lance is just a little stubborn." Tia knew that Alice would not like to hear this, so she pointed to the account book next to her after mentioning a sentence: "Alice, I want to know some Question?"
"Ah... well, I really want to know." The head poked out from Tiya's arms with a dull expression.
"Hoohoo, forget it, sometimes it's okay if you don't know, the acting consul and the [other personnel] who handle affairs here are very talented and loyal." Tiya's eyes flickered: there are many talented people, There are more people who are loyal to money, and Melis has gathered an unusually large amount of talent and ambition, which makes it need a lord with a strong tolerance and weak management.
From this point of view, it is no wonder that they felt like a treasure after seeing Alice, because Alice had no interest in economics and government affairs, but she had a gentle and obedient personality. She trusted the deputy consul and would not return any applications. And flawless.
"Alice, promise me." After reading these superficial account books and combining rumors and reality, Tia had already guessed something.
"Promise!" I promise you anything!
"I haven't said it yet, listen well, promise me, don't be a cruel lord, you must stick to your own justice and kindness. If you feel danger, you can rely on me." Tia's arms tightened, she I don't want Alice to resist the forces around me, and I don't want her to get caught up in it and contribute to the flames.
"What is Tia worried about!" Alice stood on tiptoe and rested her head on her chin: "I am a good person who wants to save the world~ mere Melis, but I can't be restrained, no one can Forcing me to do bad things!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Don't laugh! I'm serious, hey~"
The sun cannot shine into the archive room with the curtains drawn, and the data covered under the leather envelope has no temperature at all, but the girls under the magic lamp cannot feel the coolness of autumn, maybe the carpet and the plush on the back of the chair are too soft .

At the same time, there were unnamed villages around the Yanghu territory.
"My lord, according to the current clues, most of the missing people are concentrated in the villages around our city. The only nearby cities are around Meris, and there is no case of disappearance." The knight commander reported the results of this investigation.
"The missing people this time are teenagers, young men and women between the ages of 14 and 20... Is it really made by the remnants of the white crystal?" The lord with emerald green eyes looked cold, and the peasant woman who had hugged her leg and cried bitterly had been captured by someone. She tried to persuade her to go back, but she couldn't relax at all.
The cheapest material for living soul dolls is growing humans. It is not impossible to replace them with various magic materials, but considering the flexibility and production cost of dolls, it is not cost-effective.Therefore, many unscrupulous spellcasters will buy a large number of slaves, and what's more, they will "capture" living people by themselves, and transform them into puppets through a series of means.
"Yes, even if it's not the white crystal remnants, the purpose of kidnapping the residents should be to make soul dolls." The knight commander believes that spellcasters are all inhumane, because only such non-human beings can be so cruel.
"Three parade teams must be equipped. We are restricted from trading and cannot buy enough materials to build a new defensive array, so we should buy finished magic equipment." Andrea quickly put forward countermeasures: "Predict the approximate attack range Then we can lay an ambush, and the enemy is not without trace."
"Yes, my lord." Just as the knight commander responded, Mireya, who was in charge of financial calculations, raised an objection: "However, my lord, our finances are already beyond our means. Considering that winter is approaching, we must keep warm and winter holidays." cost?"
The charcoal fire in the castle is only enough to burn in the middle of the winter night. Even if the strong will not be frozen to death and frostbite, they will be extremely uncomfortable due to the temperature.When winter was about to leave last year, only the weak servants' rooms had heat, while the lords and knights could only barely keep out the cold with their quilts wrapped in quilts. This is simply ironic.
"Mireya, how much surplus can I draw?" Andrea nodded and got on her horse. She is both the lord and the guardian of the Yanghu territory, and she must go after the murderer next.
"If you ignore the festival preparations, the maximum is 2000 gold coins. If there is more, there will be problems with the army's supplies. My lord-this is all the fault of Merris' merchants!" The tax is pitifully low, there must be some problems with the accounts, and there is too much water in the transaction, it’s too treacherous! This autumn harvest still has the balance of last year, they must find that girl to stamp it, and seal it in the treasury. , The entire joint defense line, they just refuse to pay a penny!"
"Be careful, Mireya, Alice is my younger sister. According to the laws of the kingdom, she has the right to handle her own property after the age of 16." Against the sun, I couldn't see Andrea's expression clearly: "As long as she doesn't If you attack Yanghu territory, you are not allowed to target her."
"You are too merciful! Your lord!" Mireya's complaints were dissipated in the sound of the knights' neat horseshoes. Compared to complaining, they had too much to do, and the winter freeze was approaching.
