That night, temporary residence.

Chino looked at the money bag Lugo threw in front of him and was a little confused: "What is this?"

Lugo said lazily: "You'll know when you open it and take a look."

Chino opened the bag, looked at it, was silent for a moment, and poured everything out.

The eyes are filled with golden light, which is so bright that it is dazzling. It is equivalent to 20 gold moons, which is equivalent to 20,000 silver moons.

Kino frowned: "Where did it come from? Valta shouldn't have so much money."

Lugo slowly said: "A mysterious man came to me just now. He is a powerful supernatural being. He should be a member of the Troy family. They are investigating Brooke's death and gave me the money and asked me to testify in court in the future.

Said you ordered me to kill Varta."

Kino picked up a gold moon and played with it, and asked with great interest: "Why don't you just agree to them?"

Lugo spread his hands and said with a hearty smile: "Please, what is the purpose of making money? It is for happiness. I have seen your methods. If I betray you, I will have to live in fear for the rest of my life, even sleeping with women.

What’s the use of making more money if I’m worried about whether my throat will be cut by you in the middle of the night?”

"And I have an intuition that you are not a simple person. I can eat a lot of meat with you, a lot~" Lugo rubbed his chin and grinned, "The most important thing is, I believe that it is good now and in the future.

, no matter how much money my briber gave, you can afford more."

"You are right." Kino pushed all the golden moons forward and said with a smile, "You are very correct in your judgment on this matter. You pretended not to tell me about this matter, these golden moons

It’s all yours, you can spend it however you want.”

Lugo's eyes shone, and he reached out to put Jin Yue into his pocket. The corners of his mouth rose crazily, and his face was distorted with a smile: "I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich! How can I spend all this money! Hee... hee hee hee...

."

Kino thought for a while and said: "If you don't know how to spend it, let me give you a suggestion. Jashan Heqi - the alchemist who was in the provincial investigation team a few days ago - he gave me a

A transaction list, saying that if you have any need for alchemy items, you can do business with him, including magic potions that settle in the golden month."

Lugo scratched the back of his head and muttered: "Magic potion...you mean the kind that can stimulate various extraordinary abilities and make people stronger after drinking it?"

Kino nodded and took out the transaction list: "Yes. There are two types of magic potions. One is temporary potions. The time for awakening extraordinary power is limited, and the price is relatively cheap. You can basically buy it with Silver Moon.

For example, the amplifier I drank before."

“There is also a potion that permanently awakens the ability, which is a military controlled product. This potion is extremely expensive and can only be purchased with gold moon. If you want it, I can help you contact it.”

Lugo pondered: "So, I have a chance to become a transcendent? That's right. The ability of a mortal body is limited after all. Only by becoming stronger can we make more money!"

Chino handed over the list: "You go and choose slowly. After you have made your choice, give me the Golden Moon and I will let Paladin handle it."

 “Okay!” Lugo took the list and left happily.

"That's right." Kino suddenly called him, his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, "A person like Varta who is greedy for life and afraid of death, before you kill him, he should beg for your life with moon coins. How much did you take?

?”

Lugo broke into a cold sweat and his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He even couldn't help but wonder if Kino was watching when he killed Valta.

Lugo subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand and said with an embarrassed smile: "I really can't hide anything from you... He gave 1 gold moon and 300 silver moons... I swear! He will definitely

He’s dead! I didn’t let him go! If you don’t believe it, I’ll go back and bring his head over now!”

Kino looked directly into his eyes, with a terrifying oppression in his voice: "Why don't you report these monthly coins?"

 Lugo hesitated for a long time, his face turned red, and he weakly choked out: "I want... I want a good meal..."

Kino stared at him for a long time, until his nerves were so tense that he almost collapsed, then he withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Forget it this time, Varta's money will be treated as an extra reward for you. Remember in the future, any seizure

Everything must be reported. What should be given, I will give it to you. What should not be given, if you keep it secretly, it will only do you harm but no good."

Lugo relaxed, shrank his head, and said solemnly: "I understand, there won't be a next time..."

  【Fear from Lugo Hircine:49】

  【Awe from Lugo Hircine:14】

 When he saw the reminder of the triple shackles, Chino suddenly felt confused.

 Awe?

What a strange thing.

 The previous harvesting of awe points all occurred when executing alien visitors.

 But this time, just having a conversation with Lugo, why would it have the same effect as executing the alien?

 Awe, what kind of emotion is it...

 A combination of kindness and power?

  unlike.

He has used this trick of combining kindness and power on many people, but he usually gets "respect" and "fear" at the same time, rather than "awe".

While Kino was thinking, Lugo asked tentatively: "Then shall I go down first?"

Chino: "Go."

After Lugo left, Chino didn’t waste time here and started to deal with the work at hand.

Just now, he received a letter from Resakhar.

 The letter states that the Fengyunguan Governor's Mansion has held an emergency meeting and has come up with a follow-up plan.

In the Twilight City explosion, many powerful nobles lost their lives, and all eight-level officials except the administrator died. Subsequent replacement officials will be selected and appointed by the Governor's Mansion. The list has been made, and it is expected that all officials will be in place within 10 days.

 According to the "Dogulland Administrative Act", among the eight officials in each city, at most two can come from the same family to prevent collusion between the same family for private purposes.

There are six names in the appointment list given by Leisakhar, one of whom is from the Heqi family and is a third-sequence "intermediate" alchemist who serves as the financial envoy.

 One person is from the Eric family, a soul master, the third sequence of "Soul Ferry", and serves as an inspector.

 The remaining four people are from non-royal families and serve as judges, high priests, builders, and security captains respectively.

 Troy, Regnom, and Dagon, no one from these three royal families has been appointed.

Dagon is a maritime family, entrusted to the "Greymist Province" in the west of the kingdom, and sails in the capital "Sea of ​​Broken Moon" all year round, rarely intervening in inland political affairs.

As for the Regnom family, they value the inheritance of their bloodline and never expand wantonly. The clan members are already sparse, and they really can’t spare many people to serve as eight-level officials at the main city level.

 Furthermore, the Governor of Fengyun Pass also did not want to see Kino, the new star administrator, get too close to the dragons.

As for why no one from the Trojan family came to appoint him, the governor should have considered Eileen's emotional instability. If a member of the same clan went to Twilight City to serve, she might instruct him to interfere with Kino's affairs and affect administrative efficiency.

 In addition to these six appointed officials, the position of military commander was vacant.

 At the end of the list, it is mentioned that this position can be appointed by Chino himself.

Considering that attacks from extraterrestrial beings are becoming more and more frequent, military commanders are appointed by the administrator himself, allowing him to take the initiative in responding to emergencies.

Furthermore, having one more confidant besides himself among the eight officials will also be beneficial to his administrative efficiency.

The Governor's Office obviously also knew that it would take a lot of energy for an administrator who was not from a royal family, or even from a down-and-out noble family, to gain a foothold in a major city.

The Governor's Mansion does not want to see an administrator with monopoly power, nor does it want to see an administrator who is ignored. What's more, Kino's performance has impressed many people, so it is appropriate to give him a hand here.

 The letter concluded with a reference to the reconstruction of the executive residence.

The reconstruction plan of the Governor's Palace has been completed, the architectural drawings have been handed over to the incoming construction officer, and the money is being allocated to the incoming financial minister. Chino does not have to worry about it. If he has any requirements for residence, he can submit them.
