On the second day, in the meeting hall of the Magic Empire Palace, Her Royal Highness the Princess was dressed very grandly today. This was also the first time for her to attend such a grand meeting.
Her Royal Highness the Princess sat on the throne representing the emperor, and the ministers below were all waiting for the announcement of the new appointment with serious expressions. Sir Ma calmly took the letter of appointment from Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then opened it and read out:
"Appoint Sir Ma as the temporary auxiliary minister of the Magic Empire to assist in decision-making on internal affairs."
"Appoint Wood as the temporary auxiliary minister of the Magic Empire to assist the military corps in making decisions."
"Appoint Kerry Merlin as the honorary magic advisor of the Magic Empire to assist in the decision-making of magic internal affairs."
"Appoint Gary Walker as the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Magic Empire to assist in the Empire's internal affairs decision-making."
"Appoint Ivan as the Minister of Finance of the Magic Empire to assist in the empire's financial expenditure decisions."
"Appoint Maddie as the director of the Magic Empire's Public Security Department, to manage all public security departments in the empire and assist in public security decision-making."
"Appoint Yuna as the commander of the Military Aircraft Department of the Magic Empire, manage all military secrets of the empire, and assist in decision-making on important matters."
"Appoint Susan Merlin as the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Magicians of the Magic Empire to assist in decision-making on important matters."
After this long list of appointments was announced, everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe that this appointment was real. To be honest, there were several people who couldn't even think about this appointment. One was Gary. Who is Mr. Gary?
identity, can he take on this role?
There are also Yuna and Susan. What ability do these two have? They actually became ministers participating in political decision-making. The most senior people here have not occupied seats. These two rookies can also do it. Isn’t this a joke!
After Sir Ma finished reading, Wood stood up and said with a serious expression:
"The appointment has been issued. Those whose names were just read please stay. Everyone else will return to their posts."
All the ministers left unconvinced, and only a few people were left in the hall. Apparently because the appointment was sudden, most of them were not present.
Wood continued:
"Everyone please follow me!"
Everyone, including Her Majesty the Princess, came to the inner hall. The room was not big, and there was a strange round table in the middle. Wood asked everyone to sit down, and then said:
"This is an Eight Immortals table. We are the people on this table regardless of each other, because we all have the same goal, so please do your best and express your opinions."
In fact, among the eight auxiliary ministers, only Gary and Yuna are not here. The others look at me and I look at you. No one knows where to start.
Sir Ma broke the deadlock and said:
"Now that the empire has just recovered, everything is waiting to be put into operation. The burden on our shoulders is very heavy!"
Ivan frowned and said:
"I took over the funding from Mr. Gary and the funding from the Magic Guild. Now the empire's expenses can barely be covered. However, due to the war, the empire's finances are still in the negative every month."
McGrady continued:
"Spring is about to begin. Last year, all the empire's food production was taken away by the three empires. Now the empire's food reserves are not enough. Most cities in the entire empire are experiencing famine. I'm worried that if there is no more food supply,
I’m afraid that people will starve to death in some cities in the empire.”
Everyone sighed in unison, and Wood said awkwardly:
"There is indeed food, but it is only enough for the legions. If it is used to support civilians, it may not have much effect."
McGrady rushed to say:
"That's better than nothing!"
Wood also wanted to say something, Sir Ma explained:
"The legion's food cannot be taken out casually. This is life-saving food. However, due to the current famine problem, Wood, can you borrow some more food from the Holy See of Light?"
Wood looked at the princess and said:
"Please write a letter of credence from Her Majesty the Princess, and I will hand it over on your behalf. I hope the people over there will agree to lend you food."
Everyone knows that the person over there that Wood just mentioned is the Saint.
Ivan continued:
"The Holy See of Light has borrowed food, so our current empire expenditures have exceeded the budget. The main reason is that the empire currently has no profitable industries. If we continue to consume food, it will probably happen sooner or later."
Everyone understood this meaning, but Sir Ma then smiled and said:
"You don't have to worry about this. I'm going to find Gary now. As long as he can come tomorrow, I can restore the empire's strength."
In fact, no one knows where Sir Ma's confidence comes from, but since Sir Ma has said this, everyone can only wait for the news.
After the meeting, Susan ran to Wood and asked:
"Wood, I heard that His Majesty Palu is being hunted, can I protect him?"
Wood frowned and asked:
"What, you don't want to stay and help the empire?"
Susan shook her head and said:
"No, I think it's enough for the empire to have you, and my grandfather is also there. It's just that His Majesty Palu is the most lacking of people around him, so I want to protect him."
Then Wood pulled Susan to the corner. Seeing that there was no one around, Wood lowered his voice and said:
"It's not impossible for you to see Palu, but I have hidden His Majesty Palu. If you take him to any corner of the Divine Grace Continent, you may be exposed and even suffer disaster. Do you want to
Think about it."
Susan thought for a while and said:
"Well, I have already thought about it. I want to see him!"
Seeing that he had failed to convince Susan, Wood stopped explaining. Then he gave Susan the hiding place of Palu and asked her to find Palu on her own. However, Wood repeatedly emphasized that it must not be exposed.
After Wood returned to his residence, he first took out the communication crystal and started to contact Shilong. After getting the information about the rapids, Wood said happily:
"We must hold on. No matter what kind of legion Gangze dispatches, we must guard the rapids. The success or failure of the empire depends on you."
After receiving Shilong's affirmative reply, Wood began to contact Yuna again. Wood told her about her appointment, and then Yuna excitedly clamored to come back, which was what Wood wanted.
…
After Sir Ma left the Magic Palace, he went directly to the Magic Guild and reached Water City directly through the teleportation array. Although Sir Ma was older, he was not procrastinating at all. He found Gary as soon as he arrived in Water City.
When the two met, they first exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Sir Ma smiled and said:
"Everything the master told us has been completed, now it's time for us to implement the next step of the plan."
Gary said with a silly smile:
"This day has come. I'm so suffocated. When will I go back with you?"
Sir Ma still smiled and answered:
"Now, am I here to pick you up?"
Gary jumped up immediately. He seemed to be very excited, but looking at his fat body, it was quite admirable that he could still jump up and down.
Sir Ma hurriedly stopped Gary, and then said solemnly:
"Gary! Let me ask you something. The prophecies my master once said have been fulfilled, but if one day does come, what will happen to Palu? After all, he is the last bloodline of the Edward family."
Gary said disdainfully:
"What about the last bloodline? Wood also has the bloodline of the Edward family. What do you care about Paluna's trash? Just do what the master told you!"
Sir Ma still looked unhappy and said:
"After all, Wood is not the legitimate heir. If that day comes, I really don't know what I should do!"
Gary patted Sir Ma on the shoulder and said:
"Old man Ma, you! You are thinking too much! Who is Wood? He is the prophesied emperor of the ages. Compared with him, Palu is simply incomparable, so you can only watch him grow.
Just don’t think too much about it.”
Sir Ma thought the same thing. The master was so optimistic about Wood. No matter now or in the future, Wood would never let them down. What's more, Wood would be the last savior of mankind in the future. Thinking of this, Sir Ma no longer hesitated. Even if it was
For the sake of humanity!
Seeing that Sir Ma had figured it out, Gary whispered:
"I think the only thing you are worried about now is how to explain it to Pallu when that day comes, right? If you are worried about this, there is absolutely no need, because you can bring Pallu to the master, and the master will naturally
I explained it to him."
The two immediately looked at each other and smiled, then walked out of the room. Gary, who had withdrawn from the political circle, also officially joined the Magic Empire today, thus creating a solid resource support for Wood to unify the world.
