The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

Everyone flattered him, saying the noodle soup was truly authentic, and the team left the small restaurant with laughter.

Jostar released the dagger, his eyes flickering: "I really don't know if I'm lucky, or you are."

He sat back in the center of the shop, continuing to wait for "customers" like an ordinary small business owner.

Leaving the City of Mysteries rashly now would be dangerous, so he simply continued to sit here and wait for the hare to come to him(守株待兔: wait for the hare to come to him, idiom meaning to wait idly for opportunities).

That young master Charles, can he really not go home even tomorrow?

Having waited until this moment, our breath-holding contest must have a result!

......

......

Just as Jostar was fighting wits with the air, Roger had already returned to the Charles residence.

Lying in bed, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Not because of fear or dread.

After hearing the past of the Eternal Night Empress, he felt that the so-called purgatory he had seen was nothing at all.

Especially since he had decided to stand on the same front as the Empire next, and remembering those eyes that yearned for life, he no longer had so much unease.

He couldn't sleep because he was thinking about how to help this vast empire.

To defeat the gods within ten years, even if the strength of the Eternal Night Empress was improved compared to the game, it was still almost a fantasy.

There is only one Empress, but there are seven gods.

No, there is also the God-King who is hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything!

If Roger was waiting for the system to give rewards, stacking attributes and abilities.

Then the gods are drawing on the power of faith and the essence of life, stacking themselves into numerical monsters day after day.

Prayer is a slow harvesting of chives, metaphor for people who are constantly exploited., sacrifice is a fast harvesting of chives, metaphor for people who are constantly exploited.

If believers don't die, gods don't stop.

There really isn't a second monster-level powerhouse like the Eternal Night Empress.

"So, while improving the strength of the empire, try to crack down on believers as much as possible, do both things well!"

With this ebb and flow, the Empire will have a chance of survival.

This is a road destined to be difficult, even futile.

But since he had chosen it, he would continue to walk down it.

To fight against the Eternal Night that truly enshrouds the world...

Damn, it's burning!

Roger rubbed his throbbing temples, laughing self-deprecatingly.

Perhaps, as Her Majesty said, deep in his soul, there was a hidden attribute of "courting death"?

If he had the opportunity, perhaps he would also want to become a man who turns the impossible into possible...

......

......

The next day, in the Hall of Political Affairs.

The Eternal Night Empress and the eleven cabinet ministers looked at the two empty chairs with serious expressions.

Last night, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Art were also addicted to the charm of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, appreciating the young man, and were taken away by the divine power storm.

But the work that needs to be done must continue to be продвигать(продвигать: promote).

What is being discussed now is even more important: the need for someone to fill the vacancy of the Chief of the City Defense Garrison.

The military strength of the City of Mysteries is divided into three major systems: the Royal Guard, the Regular Army, and the City Defense Army.

The Royal Guard protects the Star-Han Palace, the Regular Army is the mobile force for resisting foreign enemies.

The City Defense Army is similar to the JC department of later generations, responsible for daily defense, maintaining daily public order, and occasionally managing city appearance.

Last night, the Chief of the City Defense Garrison was also at the victory banquet in the North Camp, he was bad at something at drinking but had a big alcohol addiction, and evaporated into smoke in a daze.

The Deputy Chief was promoted on the spot, but when he encountered believer causing trouble, he was gone again.

The Chief of the First Garrison temporarily took over, and was assassinated...

The parachuted Chief of the City Defense Garrison died unexpectedly this morning...

The risk of death is exceeded, and he also shoulders the task of searching for the remnants of the church and thoroughly investigating the true culprit of the Blood Night.

A position that would be compete for in peacetime has become a hot potato, and no one wants to take it.

And if a too useless person is assigned casually, the Empress is worried that he will not be able to complete the search task.

Roger spent the night thinking about the road to a strong country and was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and his brain was a little bright at the moment.

He didn't know any suitable candidates, so he was ready to just be a bystander, waiting for the next topic.

Who knew that Margaret rolled her eyes and said to Angelina: "If you want to talk about the young nobles in the Imperial Capital who are the most talented and have no positions, it must be Roger Charles! Your brother must be able to competent for this, right?"

The Eternal Night Empress replied on his behalf: "He certainly can."

Roger immediately sat up straight.

【I'm just a be a bystander, how did I end up eating the melon myself?】

【Little ceiling fan, slang for someone who is foolish, you've taken a narrow path, you still want me to think of a plan to fix my sister?】

【And Your Majesty, what do you mean? You know I'm here, and you still agree? I can't shadow clone啊!】

Angelina pursed her lips. Her useless younger brother has been тренироваться(тренироваться: training) with Lord Dio for a long time now, he shouldn't delay things, right?

As for the risk, Her Majesty has been very kind to the Charles family, she didn't consider it at all.

She was about to agree for Roger when she suddenly saw someone stand up and ask the Empress for orders before her:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to concurrently hold the position of Chief of the City Defense Garrison, please allow me!"

It was none other than Dio Brando!

Chapter 49 What's so good about being large and useless!

Roger had no choice.

Having been in contact with the Eternal Night Empress for so many days, he of course understood that this Empress, who seemed reckless and only knew how to fight, actually understood people's hearts very well.

It's just that her strength is high enough, and she's too lazy to use her brain most of the time, she just does it when she encounters problems.

The Empress approved Margaret's proposal, it was obvious that she was forcing Roger to take the position.

She didn't trust others to do it.

And Roger also realized that if Angelina took over the cooperation task for him, the conflict between the two identities would only be more troublesome.

【So the Empress is using a overt plot, I have to accept it, otherwise my identity will be exposed... This is the helplessness of having my weakness exposed!】

【But this mission has a super high mortality rate, as long as I Nirvana, rebirth, I can be free...】

And everything developed as the Eternal Night Empress had arranged, she naturally directly granted Roger's request.

As for his little calculations...

Just listen to them, this arrangement is based on I, the emperor!

The hot potato was taken over, and the cabinet ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

If no one took over, the Empress might grab them to fill the ranks.

Angelina stared at Roger for a long time, her starry eyes flashing with strange brilliance.

Dio is taking risks for his own brother by taking on this thorny task?

He is really a reliable friend worth making!

If he has a in case...

I will help him raise his wife and parents!

The kind Angelina felt that the Charles family owed Dio a favor.

So the meeting entered the next topic, the retaliation issue of the Blood Night in the capital.

The Minister of Military Affairs directly slammed the table and roared: " fuck the ass of the God of Nature, fuck the asses of those elves!"

The cabinet members agreed.

Countless people died in the Blood Night in the capital, of course, it can't be simply solved by catching the culprit.

If the seven church follow suit one by one, where is the face of the Empire?

So we must fight a battle, hit until the seven church know that the Qing Teng Empire is not easy to bully, you can't afford the consequences of provocation.

It just so happens that the Empire gather those fake restoration army who are not accepted by the local people, and transform them into second-line troops, ready to start a war and train troops.

Right Prime Minister Angelina had already prepared the corresponding supplies.

It's just a matter of changing the combat target~

The largest diocese of the God of Nature is the Elf Empire.

The Eternal Night Empress said with murderous aura: "This time I, the emperor will personally lead the expedition."

"Good! Your Majesty is mighty!"

Everyone cheered immediately.

The Empress's personal expedition has never been defeated.

The Elf Empire is going to be in big trouble!

But the next sentence of the Eternal Night Empress made the ministers show puzzled expressions.

She slowly said: "But we must first determine that the God of Nature is indeed take action this time, and don't let others reap the benefits."

The cabinet members are not stupid, after the Empress's reminder, they immediately praised:

"Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed possible that other church are impersonating the God of Nature to instigate from it."

"We almost made a mistake, it is still Your Majesty who considers thoughtful and have great foresight!"

"Yes, if we misjudge who is a friend and who is an enemy, the Empire will be in danger."

"The God of Nature is lazy in character, always prefer quietness to activity, rarely takes the initiative to attack, what happened last night is indeed strange.."

Everyone praised the Empress to the sky one after another.

Of course, the Eternal Night Empress would never say that she had already fought with the God of Nature...

Anyway, except for Roger, few people noticed that the broken leg she mentioned last night was torn from the avatar of the God of Nature.

And Roger's inner thoughts were all thinking about how to find out the prime culprit behind the scenes, obviously he didn't care about everyone's discussion at all.

The Empress slightly smiled, with a have everything under control look, pretending that she had discovered this matter herself.

So that bastard himself said, the subject's is I, the emperor's, I, the emperor's is still find's, so what's there to be polite about?

Praise I, the emperor, increase the intensity!

After the praise the Empress session, everyone's eyes fell on Roger.

Because if you want to start a war, you must have a target, and if you want to determine the target, you must wait for Roger to catch the behind-the-scenes real culprit.

Several cabinet members stammer said:

"Lord Brando, if you don't have enough manpower in your search, feel free to ask for support."

Because Roger's a series of self-destruction before, criticize all the cabinet members, everyone originally wanted to prepare to be united against outsiders, cold violence made him unable to continue...

But in the blink of an eye, Roger once again maintained his not afraid of death persona, stood up and took the most difficult task.

So his work became a prerequisite for everyone to start a war, so they had to help him.

Unexpectedly, Roger smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, lords, the Chief of the City Defense Garrison has enough manpower."
