"Your Highness Jones, please wait a moment."

When everyone filed out of the conference room, Ladislaus seemed to remember something again.

In the past, Ladislaus would never be alone in a room with a "Defender". It was not a matter of distrusting anyone, but that no one deserved his unreserved trust.

However, after sacrificing Enleco to Barbarossa, he no longer abided by this principle.

Jones guessed that the reason for this change may be partly because of the Pazzi Crown on Ladislaus' head, and partly because Ladislaus can now access the eighth level of the Magic Network.

"The Hungarian palace maid who works for us, she..." Ladislaus paused mid-sentence.

"Your Highness? Her name is..." Jones continued.

"No, no." Ladislaus waved his hand. "I don't care about her name. I just want to tell you that she is very valuable. Give her more resources."

For a moment Ladislaus wanted to tell Jones to protect this woman with a noble soul if possible.

But Ladislaus soon realized that he must not appear weak in front of his intelligence chief. This was the last place where he could not be weak.

If he needs tenderness, he can go find his own woman, and Jones must not let him doubt his coldness.

Occasionally being weak in the arms of a lover is not what the best monarch should do, but it is much less destructive.

While adjusting his mentality, Ladislaus also adjusted his sitting posture. He seemed to be sitting in the chair naturally and relaxedly.

Jones discovered that Ladislaus's figure was moving slightly with the candlelight. It seemed that his monarch had activated the "Shadow Shield" to prevent him from even a warlock who could contact the eighth layer of the magic network. In recent times,

Jones was confident that he could capture him at such a distance, but the magic of "Shadow Shield" and the flesh-like arms in Ladislaus's sleeves made Jones know that he could not win a decisive victory before other guards rushed in.

Although he was absolutely loyal to the Habsburg family, he did occasionally evaluate the success rate of his sudden attack. This was not out of any ulterior motives, but simply the instinct of a senior warrior.

Therefore, he did not feel offended by Ladislaus's precautions. He had shown great trust and goodwill by leaving him alone. If he were completely unprepared, Jones would doubt Ladislaus' ability. Just like Ladislaus.

Dislaus just expressed sympathy for the Hungarian maid.

Although he knew that his monarch had just become a little weak, he controlled himself in time.

"One more thing, Your Highness Jones." Ladislaus, who had controlled his emotions, continued to get down to business. "Have you had any contact with Jarlaxle and his drow companions recently?"

"After returning to Vienna, we have not met because of many affairs." Jones replied cautiously.

"I think you can get a little closer. These drows will inevitably need someone to help them settle down when they come to a new city." Ladislaus was not conducting a loyalty test, but just as he couldn't show weakness. Jones also

The monarch's kindness cannot be fully accepted.

"They are now under the command of the Archbishop of Würzburg. They are all very core forces and their treatment will not be bad." Jones tactfully reminded Ladislaus that he respected the power map he had drawn.

"I know, I know, but it doesn't matter if we keep in touch as personal friends. And I also hope to deepen my relationship with His Highness Jarlaxle and the others. Their services are indeed valuable to Austria." Ladislaus said goodbye.

There are arrangements.

.............................

Through Jones, he made an appointment with Jarlaxle Ladislaus and visited the drows who had joined the Austrian militia system one by one according to the plan.

"Your Excellency Kim Murray, haven't you been assigned a new house yet?" Ladislaus first visited the drow psychic, who now lives in a barracks in a bastion.

Ladislaus thought that Jarlaxle and Kim Murray could get housing, and Jarlaxle had indeed obtained a large house. Not only did it have three courtyards, but it also had the necessary butlers, cooks, maids, and surveillance agents mixed in.

who.

The few remaining drow who followed Jarlaxle and joined the Vienna City Defense Force will have to live in the dormitories under the bastion for a long time. But Kim Murray should not have to.

"Soon, soon." Kim Murray shrugged. "After the Mage Association has certified me as a spellcaster, I can get a new house."

Although Ladislaus once said that there was a lot of excitement, Obriza Kimmurry did face many difficulties after arriving in Vienna.

Although as a spellcaster, he was luckier than other drow in getting a house, the process was not easy.

"Ah, I understand. The mages are crowding out our warlocks and psychics, and the Archbishop of Würzburg has limited resources and cannot provide you with housing immediately?" Ladislaus quickly understood the hint. "I will ask Huo Huo

Chief Hensolen mentioned this matter."

"No, it's really not necessary. It's fine in the bastion anyway." Kim Murray really didn't want Ladislaus to interfere. After all, he would continue to deal with those mages in the future, and it was impossible for Ladislaus to do anything.

Everything is done for him. "The Archbishop of Würzburg arranged for two orderlies to be given to me. Besides, the mages are just delaying a little time and will not refuse to give them. In the future, I will also receive subsidies through this association, and I also want to borrow

Where's the Hohenzollern's laboratory?"

Kim Murray is really not worried, he has already achieved a high status in the militia system, and the Archbishop of Würzburg values ​​him very much.

It's just that the Mage Association is relatively wealthy, but he really needs money everywhere.

Ladislaus did not inform him of today's low-key visit. It is said that the archbishop went to Machiavelli's office to ask for funds.

Ladislaus did not continue to talk about the housing problem. Jones had already heard it anyway, and it would be best for him to tell Magistrate Hohenzollern about it.

"Ah ha, indeed, you have a double salary, but what about the others? How are you doing?" Several drow were led from their dormitories to Kim Murray's room one after another by Jarlaxle.

The drow all said that everything was fine, and it seemed that no one was planning to violate the rules of the game and play tricks like petitions.

Ladislaus was a little disappointed. Although he knew that there were few people among the drow who did not understand the rules, he did expect some surprises.

However, this also shows that the Archbishop of Würzburg has indeed carefully placed these drow within his capabilities, and does not have much dissatisfaction.

The drow who followed Jarlaxle to defect were all mid-level warriors. Although the Archbishop of Würzburg believed that it was difficult for them to command human soldiers, they were all treated as officers.

They all said that the independent dormitory with bathroom was very good, and there were also orderlies, so there was nothing to complain about.

Ladislaus shook hands with them one by one and gave each of them a red envelope worth ten talers.

"I feel relieved that you can all settle down. I don't know if you have attended mass or worship recently. Faith will be very helpful for you to integrate into life in Vienna as soon as possible."
