Chapter 53: The Sons of Iron Blood (Part II)

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Claire said calmly, "In any case, he is also from an imperial aristocratic background, how can he have a sense of belonging to an organization like the Chasseurs?" Rather, it was surprising enough that he was able to fool the well-informed "King of Hunters" and briefly blend into the "Zephyr". ”

"Lied? No, no, no, I don't think that's the case. Rector shook his finger, "In my opinion, it is clear that the 'Hunter King' took the initiative to pull him into the 'West Wind'." No, this is still part of his plan. ”

"How?" Claire wondered.

"You see, the Chasseur King has always wanted the Zephyr Elf to stay on the battlefield......" Rector said with a deep meaning.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let him take the Zephyr Elf? Cleya, known as the "Ice Maiden", has such a good mind that almost instantly, she thought of the most reasonable answer, "However, it is a little ...... to do so",

"Adventure? No, no, no, I think it's a sensible thing to do. "If he insists on keeping the Zephyr goblins away from the hunting regiments, it would be wisest to hand them over to the guerrillas...... However, as a hunter, it is not very difficult to run a guerrilla association...... At this time, there is a door-to-door, decent family style of the imperial nobles can be entrusted, it is a great opportunity. Although I don't know how the "Hunter King" did it, and what kind of plan it was set up...... But I think that's how it should be. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ To be honest, it's hard to believe, but it makes sense. Claire was at a loss, "So, what should the old department of the Zephyr Brigade do?" ”

"I guess we need to raise their threat rating." Lecter said lightly, "After all, those guys are essentially war maniacs who enjoy the thrill of killing on the battlefield...... Without the "Chasseur King" to crush them, it is foreseeable that they will appear in many situations that will cause us trouble in the future. It's terrible, I don't want to fight this kind of person, I'm weak. In the end, the exaggerated acting skills are perfectly displayed, and if people don't know him, they will definitely be deceived into thinking that he is just an ordinary civil official with a smart mind.

It's just that Claire is obviously not the one who doesn't know anything about him - on the contrary, she knows the true abilities hidden under the cynical appearance of the man in front of her. The ability to negotiate on behalf of the Imperial Government in informal settings, as well as the ability to drive high-level channeling magic at will, and good swordsmanship...... No matter how you look at it, it's the same level as the best of those hunters - of course, monsters like "war ghosts" can't be counted.

Claire, who secretly complained in her heart that she was "really good at pretending", just calmly started the next topic on the surface: "However, I still have one more question. ”

"Why didn't Uncle take any action against him, knowing that he was a companion of Erlengem in that assassination attempt?" Almost immediately, Rector guessedβ€”or rather, Kreya's question, "Well, I don't know what Uncle was thinking...... Perhaps, he just thought that this child was just bewitched by the group of chasseurs, and there was no need to provoke a nobleman for this. ”

"Do you believe that a person who has this kind of action and courage at that age is casually bewitched?" Claire smiled bitterly, "Okay, that's the end of this topic, let's talk about it......"

In the room, the red-haired man and the blue-haired girl exchanged opinions in an orderly manner.

"That's it~ Uncle wants me to go see the professor who left the School of Political Science, right? It seems to be called, and Ki ...... Hmm...... "Imperial Government, in the Prime Minister's office, a petite blue-haired girl stood in front of a middle-aged man with medium-long hair, pinching her fingers a little crampedly.

"It's Gideon." The man in front of her calmly reminded her, "This man is a radical academic, you just have to keep an eye on him, and you don't need to do anything else." If there is a change in the plan, I will give you another instruction. You go back first. ”

"Okay, uncle~ Don't forget to remind Lecter to bring me Crossbell's souvenirs~" said cheerfully, the blue-haired girl, Miriam left the prime minister's office.

In the huge room, only the middle-aged man in the center of imperial power was left.

It was this man who, in just ten years, passed several mandatory laws, greatly weakened the power of the empire's traditional aristocracy, and at the same time forcibly annexed more than a dozen small neighboring states and autonomous prefectures by various non-war means. Against the backdrop of such bold political skill, and his growing influence in the regular army of the Empire, the "Iron Prime Minister", such a reverent name, was placed on this man's head.

"Iron" symbolizes the army of steel, and "blood" represents the necessary sacrifices of the revolution. The reformers led by him aimed at destroying the rotten side of the old empire and building a truly powerful empire - but such means would inevitably attract a lot of criticism and slander for him.

"This vigorous side has not changed, Your Excellency." In the darkness of the room, a handsome man with blond hair walked out slowly, his aura hidden so well that Miriam didn't notice his presence at all, "I've seen this again. ”

"Hehe, don't say that. Your presence has helped me a lot in every sense......" Osborne smiled, "Especially you, as the eldest son of a noble family, not only have to hide your identity, but also help me achieve various purposes...... Thank you, Lufas. ”

"Don't dare to be." The blonde boy touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly, "Are we going to continue the topic just now?" ”

"Go on. It was only slightly interrupted by Miriam. Osborne said quietly, "You once commented that the boy, the head of his family, is a clear stream in the current aristocratic circles, right?" ”

"Exactly." There was a hint of sarcasm in Lufas's smile, "After all, a group of corrupt people led by Count Goti have racked their brains to slander that one, and you can see from the side what kind of person is a person who has offended these nobles so much." ”

"Things gather by like, and people are divided by groups." Osborne nodded, "I actually admire this kind of upright nobleman very much...... Be able to not be corrupted by the glory of the past and maintain your pride and self-esteem as a nobleman...... There are fewer and fewer such people. ”
