Chapter 1748 Clear Division of Labor

The Baroness's afternoon tea party was held in the banquet hall of Viscount Sikka's residence.

In fact, this banquet hall is the meeting hall inherited by the Viscount Sika family. Many matters related to the Sika territory since Etantine I came from here.

Many of them have affected the entire Hokuriku.

However, this is the first time that this banquet hall has been used in the name of afternoon tea.

For afternoon tea in Sika, in summer, nobles usually choose to drink tea and eat snacks in the garden while enjoying the wind. In winter, they will choose a study or entertainment room as the venue.

Choosing a study room means being a peer or hosting an elder.

The recreation room is for juniors.

The selection of tea and snacks is also very particular.

The whole process is extremely complicated, so the Baroness likes to stay in her bedroom reading a book most of the time.

But this time, when she had to stand up, she gritted her teeth and felt extremely uneasy.

She worried about being questioned.

And worried about being suspected.

She's not good at this.

But the situation was much better than she imagined.

At least, when she walked into the banquet hall, although everyone looked at her, there was no sharpness in their eyes, and they were all very polite.

call!

The Baroness breathed a sigh of relief, maintained an aristocratic smile, and glanced at the people present.

Then, he walked towards the main seat.

Afternoon tea party, seemingly chatting.

In fact, there is a very clear hierarchy.

Especially at this time, where everyone is sitting and what they are wearing are extremely clear.

The closer to the main position, the higher the status.

The higher the status, the more gorgeous the clothes.

The Baroness is an exception, however.

The Baroness did not choose a fluffy dress like other ladies, but chose a men's suit, white trousers on the lower body, a neat black suit on the upper body, a hat worn by an equestrian master on her head, and black trousers on her feet. The boots hugged the calf just right. Except for a ruby ​​brooch pinned to the small suit on the chest, there were no more accessories on the person, and he walked as neatly as a man.

These are arranged by higher-level evil spirits.

What it needs is a real owner of the Sika collar.

Therefore, it doesn't mind using some small means to subtly influence those around it.

Therefore, when the people around looked at the Baroness, they felt as if they had truly recognized each other for the first time. It was like seeing a battle-hardened general.

Is she really worthy of being the Viscount’s sister?

The usual hiding is just because the Viscount is too dazzling!

The thoughts that emerged in their hearts made these guests become more cautious.

They knew exactly what the Viscount should do at this time.

As for those who don’t know?

Then you don't need to know. They have been cleaned up by the superior evil spirits a long time ago. Those who can come here are all people who understand the truth. At least, they understand on the surface.

And what do you think in your heart?

Not required.

The superior evil spirits only need them to remain respectful on the surface.

Time will let these people know how right the choice was.

In this regard, the upper evil spirits are very confident.

Not only for myself, but also for my Boss.

Hidden in the corner, the corner of its mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a smile.

The Baroness, who had been secretly searching for the upper evil spirit, happened to find the upper evil spirit at this time. Seeing the smile on the corner of the upper evil spirit's mouth, she thought it was an encouragement to her.

Immediately, the slightest uneasiness in my heart disappeared.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty."

The Baroness was sitting in the main seat, half of her body was bathed in the warm sunshine, and her delicate and mature face seemed to be glowing, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Before the tea party begins, I would like everyone to observe a moment of silence for my brother and those who have passed away."

said the Baroness sadly.

The Baroness respects her brother very much.

Even if there were no more feelings, the Baroness knew that if it weren't for this brother, she would never have been able to live willfully for so long.

Even though she was widowed, she was still young and fertile. In addition, she inherited the property left by Baron Nord. If her brother was more ruthless, he could throw her away as a bargaining chip. There were many people who were willing to take over, even Ai. The same is true for the great nobles of Tantinoburg. These great nobles don't mind marrying a widow for the sake of a rich 'dowry'.

In fact, this has happened.

However, the viscount refused.

Therefore, the Baroness was very grateful to the Viscount's brother.

As the Baroness spoke, the people present began to look sad.

It’s good to be true.

Just pretending.

A few minutes later, when the waiter announced the start of the tea party, they were smiling again.

"First thing I need to announce."

"The martial law in Sika City needs to be lifted."

"Starting tomorrow, everything will return to normal in Sika City."

As soon as this order was announced, the nobles present applauded.

They wholeheartedly approved of this order.

What is Sika City’s biggest source of revenue?

It is the tax revenue brought by the traveling merchants, the prosperity of the market, and the price difference of all kinds of goods.

When Sika City was under martial law, none of these existed.

Only circulation again is the foundation of Sika City.

After looking at the nobles whose faces were full of excitement and joy, the Baroness raised her hand and pressed it.

The applause stopped immediately.

"The second thing."

"Due to the poor performance of the previous city guards, I will promote Sergei to be the new commander of the city guards. He will be responsible for the security inside the city and the patrol affairs outside the city."

"And Hof, he will be my captain of the bodyguard and responsible for the security of the mansion."

continued the Baroness.

None of the nobles present objected to this appointment.

If the original city guard commander or guard were still alive, they would definitely jump out.

Unfortunately, during these three days, the two people who danced the most happily have disappeared.

And for the sake of two missing people, risking the same disappearance and going against the Baroness' order, the nobles present could not do it.

So not worth it!

Therefore, the nobles present were just stunned for a moment before they reacted. One by one, they expressed their congratulations to Sergey and Hov who were standing at the door.

The two young men saluted the Baroness and then nodded indifferently to all this.

They only accepted such positions on the orders of the Lord Messenger.

Perhaps in the past, this was a great status for them.

but now?

That's it.

No matter how noble you are, can you be so noble as the messenger who walks the world in our Lord’s place?

Not to mention, the presence of our Lord.

The indifferent expressions of the two young men surprised the nobles present.

They have already collected all the information about the two people.

Not from a big family.

Not even a noble.

Although it is slightly better than civilians, it is still slightly better. This kind of opportunity to reach the sky in one step is still so indifferent?

Subconsciously, these nobles put the two young men on the list of people who needed to be careful.

Then the Baroness continued:

"The third thing is that I will allow the 'Mist' sect to preach in the Sika Territory."

"What?"

"Sir, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Sir, do you want to start a war?"

…

Different from the previous two things, when the third thing was announced, the banquet hall exploded, and several impatient nobles spoke directly.

Preaching is not a simple matter.

In the entire Hokuriku, before the 'Black Disaster' occurred, there was only one sect: the God of War!

And after the 'Black Disaster' occurred, there was only one more 'Ms. Disaster'.

To put it simply, these two are the only ones in the entire Hokuriku who can openly preach.

The rest are all heretics and evil gods.

As long as they are discovered, they can be burned to death.

Moreover, unlike the newly emerged 'Ms. Disaster', the God of War has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially in the Sika territory. The Viscount Sika is the most devout believer of the God of War. Naturally, the Viscount Sika's Many of his subordinates are also believers of the God of War. Whether it is to please Viscount Sika or to comfort themselves, it doesn't cost money anyway, so just have some faith.

Of course, many people are really devout believers in the God of War.

Not here, though.

Those people have already been cleared away by higher-level evil spirits.

Naturally, these people reacted so strongly because they wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Or……

Ask for benefits.

Nobles are far more realistic than imagined.

Unfortunately, the upper-level evil spirits are more realistic than them.

He gestured to Sergei and Hov.

The two young men walked towards the loudest shouters without hesitation, picked up their unsheathed swords, pointed them at their cheeks, and drew them hard.

Bang, bang!

Amidst the crisp sound, the shouting people's cheeks immediately became red and swollen, their mouths were pulpy, and a few teeth were spit out.

For those who underestimate their own gods, Sergey and Hov don't mind teaching them how to behave.

In fact, this was what their envoy had warned, otherwise, they would simply cut out the tongues of these guys who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Although the two young men have never experienced the nasties among nobles, they are not fools.

How can anyone seem to make eye contact and make secret gestures when they are emotionally excited?

The two young men looked fiercely at the noble who had just been beaten by them, and then, with eyes like wolves, they began to patrol the entire banquet hall.

No one dared to look at them.

Those with some strength and courage to jump around have long been eliminated by the superior evil spirits, and the rest are just weaklings brought in to make up the numbers to show fairness.

If it weren't for the entire "Mist" church to grow faster and become a qualified helper for his boss, the upper-level evil spirits wouldn't even want to do this.

It prefers a simple and direct style.

This is also derived from the style of its Boss.

It doesn't mind developing it.

With a smile, the superior evil spirit looked at the slightly bewildered Baroness. Under the gaze of the other party, he gave an encouraging look, and the Baroness immediately sat up straight.

"I am announcing, not negotiating."

"I'm just telling you."

"Furthermore, the Sika Territory belongs to the Sika family. As the sole head of the family, I have the right to do this. Even His Majesty the King cannot object."

The Baroness said firmly.

When the words fell, Karl, who had been standing in the corner of the banquet hall, trying his best to avoid everyone's sight, came out.

He thought he needed to do something for his mother.

Therefore, he walked up to these nobles, stretched out his palms as if leading sheep, and dragged these people out of the banquet hall.

"Spare your life!"

"Sir, spare me!"

The sounds of begging for mercy came one after another, but Karl ignored them at all.

Karl, who came from a noble family, knew better than Sergey and Hov what attention these bastards in his hands were playing.

Create strife.

Weakening one's own mother.

Devour the interests of the Sika family and strengthen themselves.

Almost instantly, a series of things came to his mind.

Therefore, he will never spare these bastards like himself.

Looking at Karl, who was dressed in black armor and full of murderous intent, dragging the person out, the banquet hall became quiet again, and the nobles looked at the Baroness like quails.

Fear, fear.

This look is obvious.

Hearing is always hearing.

Far less scary than seeing is believing.

When they saw their acquaintance who was just sitting here being dragged out like this, they were alerted again and remembered their identities again.

The Sika collar belongs to the Sika family.

Not theirs.

Of course, some people are also thinking secretly.

After the banquet is over, should we go directly to the Temple of War?

Obviously, there are many people who hold this idea.

Therefore, during the following banquet, they all ate absentmindedly, even though the snacks were very delicious. Some people even only took one bite and then threw them on the plate.

This made the upper evil spirit frown.

Unknowingly, his 'view on food' had already been impressed by Qin Ran.

Basics of not wasting food.

The same goes for Sergey and Hov.

The two days of getting along with each other made them realize how simple the messenger was.

Immediately, the two young men who had no good impression of these people became even more disgusted.

Thankfully, that Baroness wasted no time.

The tea party ended hastily.

The nobles hurriedly got into the carriage.

Looking at the direction in which the carriages were leaving, Sergey and Hov couldn't help but hold the hilts of their swords. As long as the superior evil spirit gave the order, the two of them would definitely rush forward and kill those people.

However, the superior evil spirit did not speak.

It looked at the sad-looking Baroness.

The land is sacred!

Even the king can’t get involved!

But, gods are also sacred!

Divine authority is not just a matter of saying that it is superior to royal authority.

A few decades ago, the messenger of the God of War was called a saint, and the king had to pay half a courtesy when he saw him.

Although the situation has improved now after the 'Black Disaster', the power of 'gods' is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Simon, what are we going to do?"

The Baroness did not hide her inner worries and asked anxiously.

The upper evil spirit smiled slightly.

"We do earthly things."

"Things between gods?"

"Of course it will be handled by my Lord!"
