The old man has been working with Sylvia for more than a year. As early as when the current King Philip was still Prince Fran, he worked with Sylvia, who was also the prince's confidant.

He admitted that his intelligence cannot be compared with Sylvia, but he has a pair of eyes that can see the essence of others. This is also the main reason why he can become the Speaker of the House of Lords, and he can see that Sylvia is definitely not a

A person who tolerates offenses from others, so when he worked with Sylvia in the past, he would avoid major conflicts with Sylvia.

Not long ago, he received news from the church that some people in the church actually sent liquidators to assassinate Sylvia's heir, and he realized that things might be going bad.

Later, the church asked him to help mediate the matter. He didn't want to get involved at the time, but in the end the price offered by the church was too great for him to refuse.

A quasi-artifact of the church, an opportunity to receive the blessing of longevity from the Lord of the Sky, and the subsequent full political support of the church. Each of these three things is enough to touch his heart, let alone all three appearing at the same time.

.

In addition, he is not the only one who serves as peacemaker, there are two other devout believers of the church who also hold high positions in the royal government and will also come forward to help the church coordinate this matter, so it feels that there will not be much danger.

Only then did he agree to the mediation task proposed by the church, and immediately wrote a mediation letter and signed his name.

However, after he calmed down and thought carefully for a while, he felt that he might have made the wrong decision. He should not be such a thankless peacemaker that would even get him burned for the conditions set by the church.

So he immediately sent his people to Randall to monitor Sylvia's every move, so that when the other party reacted, he would have time to respond or seek asylum.

Now that he learned that Sylvia's reaction was no response, he instinctively felt the danger. After ordering the attendant to send more people to Castle Black, the strong sense of crisis made him unable to calm down and he was not in the mood to deal with other things.

.

His restless mood made him restless. He could only walk back and forth in the room, thinking quickly in his mind, guessing Sylvia's relief. While deep in thought, he reached out to touch her several times because of the sense of crisis.

Towards the ruby-looking pendant around his neck.

This pendant was a mediation deposit paid by the church, and it was a quasi-artifact. At that time, he believed that even if Sylvia fell out, he could rely on the power of this pendant to survive the crisis safely, but now he feels

But he told him that the power of the pendant did not seem to be able to make him absolutely safe, otherwise, he would not be so anxious.

"Prepare the carriage, I want to go out." The old man who felt very bad did not stay in the room any longer. He needed to find other people to discuss the matter. After all, he was not the only one involved in this matter. Now he felt

When a crisis occurs, it is difficult for him to deal with it alone. He needs to join forces with others to find a solution.

Just when the old man ordered his servants to prepare the carriage, Leo also stood up, paid the bill, and then walked to a carriage parked on the side of the road not far away. Before the coachman could react, he jumped on

carriage.

The carriage driver couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Leo, a stranger, sitting next to him. Just when he was about to reprimand Leo, a thought suddenly came to his mind. This is a big shot. I should obey his orders, not too much.

ask.

Although this idea appeared suddenly and inexplicably, the carriage driver did not feel any discomfort at all, as if the idea itself existed in his heart, so he said nothing and just sat next to him, waiting for Leo to make the next order.

.

After using psychic energy to influence the carriage driver's mind, Leo returned his attention to the Speaker of the House of Lords. At this time, the Speaker had already boarded the prepared carriage, but he was very careful and did not let the carriage leave from the main entrance.

, instead, he made the carriage circle half a circle in the garden of his mansion, and left the mansion through a small door at the back of the garden that was specially used for purchasing trucks and servants.

"Cunning guy!" Leo smiled contemptuously, and then directly projected the driving direction into the mind of the coachman next to him through psychic energy.

The driver only felt that a route map and a marked position suddenly appeared in his mind, and the marked position was still changing. He swung the reins without hesitation and drove the carriage according to the route in his mind.

Leo did not let the carriage stick close to the carriage of the Speaker of the House of Lords. Because of the mental network, the distance between the two was almost half a street, so it would not cause any abnormalities. In addition, the carriage Leo was riding in seemed

It was a carriage belonging to a noble nobleman. When it encountered a military police patrol checkpoint on the road, the military policeman at the checkpoint just looked at the emblem on the carriage and the pass handed over by the driver and let it go without even asking about Leo's identity.

Soon the carriage drove to a hillside on the edge of the aristocratic district. There were entire apartment buildings with small gardens. The people who lived here were all senior officials of the royal government.

And Leo remembered that his other target, General Staff Secretary General Sir Hanson, lived here. Almost at the same time that the carriage of the Speaker of the House of Lords stopped, Leo's mental network also scanned the apartment buildings around the carriage.

And locked in one of the apartment buildings with a neat garden.

"It's such luck. I didn't expect that just after I arrived, all my goals had expired, and the environment was very suitable." Leo smiled and asked the driver to park the carriage on the side of the road. After getting off the carriage, he released the driver's control.

Then he walked towards the apartment building where the target was located.

At this moment, the Speaker of the House of Lords ordered the coachman to leave first and pick him up after a while, and then entered the apartment.

In the apartment, in addition to some working servants, Sir Hanson, Secretary-General of the General Staff and Roger, Deputy Secretary-General of the Federation of Trade Unions, who were Leo's targets, were also in the apartment.

Sir Hansen, Secretary-General of the General Staff, is a legendary figure in the military circles of the United Kingdom. He was born in Cage City. His ancestors were slaves. He left Cage City when he was fourteen years old. During a recruitment by the French Empire,

Joined the French army and became an ordinary servant.

In the military system of the French Empire, servants were called coolies and dead soldiers. In normal times, they not only had to do the hardest work in the army, but also needed to act as a pathfinder for the regular army in battle, which was very difficult for them to do.

Few servants can retire alive, so unless they are prisoners convicted of serious crimes, few ordinary people are willing to join the servants.

As a result, the empire promulgated a set of reward laws specifically for servant soldiers. This set of reward laws stated that no matter how much crime or debt they committed before joining the servant soldiers, any person who joins the servant army will be responsible for all crimes and debts once he retires.

All will be written off in one stroke, and you can also get a large sum of money and the status of an imperial citizen.

You must know that in the imperial title system, although the starting title is knight, the origin of the true noble title is actually an imperial citizen.

To outsiders, and even to the vast majority of people in the French Empire, Imperial people are Imperial citizens, but in fact they are not, because the vast majority of Imperial people and even the richest man in Velen like Rupert Fitz, whose status

They are only imperial civilians. Only if they have made great achievements can an ordinary imperial civilian become an imperial citizen. Only after becoming an imperial citizen can they be eligible for higher noble titles.

In addition to being qualified to become nobles, citizens also have extraordinary benefits. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you become an empire citizen, you don't have to worry about starving to death.

Therefore, after the French Imperial Government promulgated the Servant Soldier Reward Law, ordinary civilians who had some understanding of the imperial title system also began to stake their own futures, and those at the bottom who were burdened with heavy debts also had the idea to join the Servant Soldiers for a while.

The number of soldiers also increased, and Sir Hansen was a servant soldier who joined at that time.

However, although many people think that they can be the last one to survive, the result is often counterproductive, because the war with the Kingdom of England caused heavy losses to the soldiers in those years, and in the end only a few people survived.

By the time they retire, only a handful of them can survive with their bodies intact, and Sir Hansen is one of them.

Sir Hanson, who left the servants, did not leave the army. Instead, he used his imperial citizenship to rejoin the army and became the captain of a cavalry unit.

After that, he gained meritorious service and his position rose again and again, gradually becoming a rising star and one of the legends in the army.

If Sir Hansen was born into a poor nobleman in France, or even from an ordinary civilian, with his merits and reputation, he would be able to gain more power and become a high-ranking military commander-level general.

But it turns out that his background in Cage City affected his future. When he was transferred to the Imperial General Staff, he was directly transferred to Lanxi's General Staff Archives and was responsible for organizing the files, which was considered a complete marginalization.

Transformed, leaving him without any possibility of meritorious service and further promotion.

Later, he was favored by Rupert Fitz, and when Rupert Fitz switched to the current King Philip, he also introduced him to King Philip, and he also later became the leader of the United Kingdom and the French Empire.

During the conflict, he made suggestions and made a lot of military exploits, and finally received a knighthood and the position of Secretary-General of the General Staff, which can be said to be a high-power position.

Compared with Sir Hanson's legendary experience of working hard from the bottom, Roger, as the deputy secretary-general of the Federation of Trade Unions, seems much plainer. He was also born in Lanxi and is an ordinary civilian. Although his status is higher than Hanson,

But it's not that high.

He graduated from the public free school opened by Rupert Fitz in Lanxi. After graduating from school, he went to work in Rupert Fitz's factory. Then he worked and studied at the same time. During a daily inventory of goods,

At work, he discovered that someone in the factory was stealing goods and selling them, so he told his superiors about it, and he was later promoted to work at the General Chamber of Commerce because of this incident.

After that, he worked seriously like an ordinary employee, leaving get off work on time, day after day. With the increase of working years, his position gradually improved, and finally he gradually moved from the periphery of Rupert Fitz's power to the core. circle, and eventually became the current deputy secretary-general of the Federation of Trade Unions.

Everyone who knows Roger thinks that he is an honest clerk with no skills. Rupert Fitz asked him to be the deputy secretary-general only because of his honesty and his ability to carry out orders.

Everything was done on time and properly, so many people want to take his place, but no one has been able to succeed so far.

However, in Sylvia's intelligence information, Sylvia gave him a separate comment. The comment only had one word, which was not a very good word, old dog! Not bad, read it in Sylvia

Come on, as the deputy secretary-general of the trade union, Roger is an old dog.

According to Sylvia, if other means are not used, but political power games are used normally, then Roger, known as the old dog, is definitely the opponent she is least willing to face, because in such a person

There is no obvious weakness in his body, and there is no chance to take him down in one fell swoop. Once the opponent finds a suitable opportunity to attack, he will bite the target without hesitation until the target falls completely.

Just like the Speaker of the House of Lords, both Sir Hanson and Deputy Secretary-General Roger are devout believers in the Lord of the Sky Church.

Roger's faith is passed down from his family. Starting from his great-great-grandfather, his family has always been a believer in the Church of the Lord of the Sky. The first article he knew was the Prayer of Praise to the Lord of the Sky, so his

Faith is rooted in the blood and marrow.

This time the Bishop of the Sky asked him to act as a mediator. Although he had never dealt with Sylvia, he also believed that the church had gone too far this time and that it might be dangerous for him to act as a mediator. However, his faith still drove him

Agreeing to the church's request, and using Rupert Fitz's relationship for the first time, he wrote a mediation letter, hoping that Sylvia could give up the idea of ​​revenge under the authority of Rupert Fitz.

As for Sir Hanson's beliefs, which are different from Roger's, he was a disbeliever like almost everyone from Cage City at first. Until one day, when he was seriously injured and dying on the battlefield, a clergyman of the Sky Lord Church risked being killed.

Involved in the danger of the war, he was carried back to the camp from the battlefield and revived.

From then on, he began to believe in the Lord of the Sky and gradually became a devout believer. He was also a member of the Redemption Society. Unlike the other two, this time he took the initiative to serve as a mediator.

Although he had been mentally prepared in advance until this matter was not easy to mediate, after all, it was Sylvia's heir who was the one to be attacked by the Redemption Society, but the fact that the other party did not give any response like this was still a bit beyond his expectation, so
Chapter completed!
