Chapter 806
She thought it was a gaudy place. Even when she met with her subordinates a few times a week, she just paced in front of the big, embarrassing chair and almost never sat on it - she tried to avoid using the room.
To her, the meeting hall was like the place where she used to study. There were messy scrolls piled up everywhere in the teacher's study, and the table was never cleaned. Proudmoore felt that this was like a home.
There is another thing that the throne room does not have but the council chamber does, and that is a window with a view. Proudmoore knew that if she could see Lamour's full view from the window at any time in the council chamber, then she would
Nothing could be done - because she would be distracted from time to time, sometimes marveling at the buildings rising from the ground in Rameau, and sometimes worrying about her responsibilities.
Star Domain Transformation is a high-intensity restriction that is very labor-intensive. Although Proudmoore's training allowed her to enter combat mode immediately after casting the spell, she was unwilling to do so. She rested for a while before speaking.
Called her housekeeper: "Durphi!"
An elderly woman walked in from the door. There were three doors in the meeting hall. Two of them were known to everyone: the door that Durfee just walked in and the door leading to the hall and the queen's bedroom.
Door. The third door is a secret passage that will only be used during emergency evacuation. And only six people know the location of this door, and five of them are craftsmen who built the door.
Durfee looked at Proudmoore through her glasses: "Stop shouting, I'm just sitting outside the door, as usual. How did the meeting with the protozoan go?"
Proudmoore sighed, this was not the first time: "His name is Chen Feng."
Durfee waved her arms, an action that almost caused the fragile woman to lose her balance. Her glasses also fell off the bridge of her nose and dangled together with the lanyard around her neck.
"I know. But his name is too stupid. I mean, aren't protozoa called Rebirth of War and Killing Blade? They are all the same anyway. But he chose such a name, Chen Feng? He also
I really think of myself as quite noble.”
Proudmoore didn't want to explain it because she had tried it hundreds of times. "Haha," she said.
Durfee put his eyes back on the bridge of his nose. "Protozoa should be called these names, not Chen Feng. Let's not talk about it. How is the situation?"
"We are in trouble. Go call Kerry, and then send someone to inform Colonel Lorena and ask her to lead a team of people to the North Fort to investigate. Then report to me." Proudmoore sat at the table.
Try to find the shipping information she needs from the scrolls piled above.
"Lorena again? Why don't you call me Lothar or Pierce? Someone else can do it - I can't tell. Send a woman? Those guys at North Outpost are not easy to deal with."
Proudmoore wondered if Durfee would say something like this every time Lorena's name was mentioned. "Lorena is more difficult to deal with than Lothar and Piers combined. She will be fine."
Durfee pouted. It didn't look good for an older woman to do such an action. "You're wrong, women shouldn't be wielding knives and guns."
Proudmoore finally gave up looking for shipping information. She looked at her steward and said, "You shouldn't be running a country either."
"Haha, these are two different things." Durfee said timidly.
"Why is it different?"
"It's just different."
Proudmoore shook his head. For three years, Durfee has never thought of a better answer. "Call Kree here before I turn you into a salamander, and then send a message to Lorena."
"If you turn me into a salamander, you'll find nothing in the future."
Proudmoore spread his hands in despair: "I can't find anything right now. Where did all the damn shipping information go?"
Durfee said proudly, "It's at Kerry's place. Do you want me to tell him and ask him to bring it?"
"Thanks."
Durfee bowed. Her eyes fell from the bridge of her nose again. She turned around and walked out of the chamber. Proudmoore really wanted to throw a fireball at Durfee, but she gave up. Durfee was right - leave.
She, Proudmoore, could find nothing.
After a while, Kerry came in with several scrolls. "Madam, Durfee said you want to see me. Do you want to see these?" He handed the scroll to the queen.
"I want to see them all. Thank you." She replied and took the scroll with one hand.
Kree is Proudmoore's Minister of Home Affairs. During the period of governing Lamour, he has been taking care of everything for Proudmoore. He has an extremely outstanding ability in dealing with annoying chores, which makes him the ideal person for this job.
Best candidate.
It was precisely because of him that Proudmoore did not become so angry that he killed people because he was overwhelmed. Before the war, Kerry was the clerk of Grand Marshal Garithos, and later gradually became famous because of his excellent organizational skills.
Of course, he has not made much progress in the military rank because he has not made any military exploits. Kerry is very tall, but as thin as a bamboo pole. He looks like he can't beat even the elderly Durfee. His hair is too long.
Black and straight, just above the shoulders, like a black picture frame, framing a skinny face. A hooked nose and a perpetually frowning expression.
Proudmoore repeated Chen Feng's words: how the Ogate was in danger, and how a nearby cruiser did nothing to help.
Kerry raised his thin eyebrows and said: "This story does not sound very credible. You said it is about one league from Thorn City?"
Proudmoore nodded,
"But we didn't send the cruiser to that area, ma'am."
"It was very foggy - perhaps the ship Captain Bolick saw had strayed off course."
Kerry nodded and reluctantly agreed to this point of view: "But madam. It's also possible that Captain Bolick saw it wrong."
"Unlikely." Proudmoore walked around behind the table and sat on a chair. She placed the shipping records on a place on the table where the things could still be accommodated. "The protozoa's eyesight is much better than ours. And don't forget,
To be chosen as a lookout for your eyesight is even more extraordinary.”
"But we must consider the alternative, that the protozoa are lying." Before Proudmoore could object to this idea - much as she wanted to - Kree held up a long finger.
Said, "I'm not saying that Chen Feng himself, Madam. The chief of the protozoa is an admirable hero. That's true. He deserves your trust, but I think in this matter, he only played the role of a sounding board.
."
"What do you mean?" Proudmoore knew the answer, but she wanted to hear Kree say it for herself.
"I'm going to say what I've told you hundreds of times, madam - we can never trust protozoa 100%! There are a few protozoa that can be trusted, that's true, but what about the others?
?If we believe that they are sincere to us
If you don't mean it, then we are simply fools! And they can't all be as sensible as Chen Feng. Chen Feng is our most powerful ally against the demonic insect army. I admire everything he has done -
—But what he does is only temporary."
Kristoff put his bony hands on the table, leaned against him and said to Proudmoore, "The only one who can control the protozoa now is Chen Feng. If he is gone, I assure you, the protozoa will soon
Show your true colors and do everything you can to destroy us."
Proudmoore burst out laughing. She didn't mean it. Kerry's words were a carbon copy of Chen Feng - although such extreme words shouldn't come from the mouth of the Home Secretary.
Kerry became serious: "Is this funny? Madam."
"Oh, no. I just think you're taking it too seriously."
"You have oversimplified the problem. Now, except for this city-state, everything in the origin world is under the control of protozoa." Kerry hesitated. This is too unusual. The reason why the Minister of the Interior can
He is in a high position because of his straightforward character. He has always been like this.
"What do you want to say, Christopher?"
