People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Ernst understood her feelings and, after much thought, "reluctantly" overcame this hurdle and accepted the "reward" from this new generation of Hedodo, who had not received a billion-dollar subsidy since Wendodo went to the battlefield.

The budget for the Trinitylme venue is 300 million Leitania ducats, which can be increased depending on the situation. If we take the current international exchange rate into account, the total cost of the three venues could potentially reach tens of billions of ducats!

Ernst was a little incredulous that just three concert venues could cost so much money, but Herlinmat just quoted four, so much that Ernst's mind went blank for a moment.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one with a blank space; Enciodes next to him also had a blank space.

How can I put it? Is this what a great power that can be a member of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council looks like? Even if it's just at the bottom of the list, if it shakes itself up, the tiny specks of dust that fall are mountains of gold!

Suddenly, I had this urge to say that I was young and didn't know how good rich women were.

It was at this point that Ernst finally made up his mind to first seek opinions from within the country.

That's why Lola took the initiative to accept the bid.

The Letanians are rich in gold coins, but their demands are far more stringent. The buildings listed by Helena, whether it's the Kjerag train station or the Summit Building, are not strictly speaking Kjerag's independent works. They all bear the imprint of Nastya Runorei, head of the engineering department at Rhine Life Sciences. In fact, one could say she was the true driving force behind the designs!

This time, Lola is going to do it herself.

It's not that she wants to completely reject the help of others and think for herself entirely—that would be foolish! Listening to all sides is a skill a leader should possess. What she's trying to say is that this time, she's going to complete the design independently.

This means that she not only needs to master engineering knowledge, but also a certain level of music theory knowledge, and even the [Music Originium Arts Theory] of Letania, in order to ensure that the venue can "perfectly meet all possible needs"!

It was difficult, but she was willing to try! Brave Lola, unafraid of difficulties!

Vina was delighted to see Lola so full of fighting spirit. She had also analyzed, from the messages Ernst sent back, why Letania was holding the International Concert.

It must be said that, even without Ernst's deliberate instruction, she always learns a lot from him.

However, this time, he had a slightly different opinion from Ernst. Part Three!

It wasn't about the big picture; no one had a bigger vision than Ernst, let alone Vina, who was in Sherag and didn't know the full picture of Letania. She was referring to the matter of the Elector's heir.

Ernst said that Viviana was not suited to be an elector. Indeed, she lacked the shrewdness and temperament expected of an elector, and in Letania, she had virtually no background, foundation, or connections. If she were to enter politics, Viviana could be described as a complete novice.

But being unsuitable and not wanting to are two different things.

There are many reasons why a person might do something, especially a girl who is objectively more emotional. Vina knew the Candle Knight very well; she was gentle, brave, and compassionate. These qualities made her unsuitable for the murky waters of politics, yet they were also what made her most eager to wade into those waters.

Because that position means power, it means being able to command the winds and rains, stir up storms, and save more and more people!

Idealists are those who have the drive to do what they know is impossible, even if it means falling to their deaths.

Some might ask, "Will she become the Elector?"

Vina didn't know the answer to that. But she felt that, at least, the probability was much greater than the "impossible" probability Ernst had mentioned in his letter!

First, the Elector Walner himself has never made a clear statement.

Secondly, after Her Majesty the Queen arrived in Shitong, she did not make any statement or hints.

Finally, and perhaps most people believe, Viviana could never meet this requirement—she has no background, no foundation, and no connections. This is, in fact, a misconception.

She already possessed these things. From the moment she left Sherag, from the moment Ernst was willing to ask Enciodes for her help, from the moment she could get Ernst to speak on her behalf before the Elector of Ston, her background was already established.

Swelling: 1 "The spirit of the nine strange lands is very large, so large that ordinary nobles of Letania simply cannot afford to offend it!"

Ernst is Viviana's biggest backer!

In addition to this, she also had a potential supporter, the Grand Knight Commander of the Casimir Overseer, as well as many friends from Sherag to Victoria and across the land, including herself. It's not an exaggeration for Vina; Viviana's power may be greater than she imagined.

Perhaps, it was beyond Ernst's own imagination.

Thinking of this, Vina's lips curled into a smile, unable to suppress a chuckle.

"Unbeknownst to many, Ernst has become quite a figure in his own right."

At first, she just wanted to use Shelag, a remote and remote place, to avoid the storm and start a normal life again. Who would have thought that Shelag would now be no longer a "refuge" but a real "sanctuary"?

It remains to be seen whether Viviana, whom Vina sees as "the lucky one who chose to return to her homeland," can grasp this deeper meaning.

Chapter 692 The True Use of Kal'tsit!

Kal'tsit sensed that something was wrong.

Why did things become like this?

Wasn't she supposed to have come to Letania with Ernst to handle the trade route plan between Shitongling and Sherag? Why is she never seen during negotiations, but always there when it comes to running errands?

First, send Arturo to find the Lateran messenger stationed locally, then help her send a message to the Queen's Voice to report on the matter and inform the Black Queen. Now it's even more outrageous that she is asked to go directly to the Earldom of Viseheim to pick up the Witch King's descendant who is imprisoned there!

She was also dissatisfied and puzzled, and asked Ernst, "Don't you have any more normal work that you can give me?"

Unexpectedly, Ernst countered with a question: "So, in Kelsey's eyes, this job is abnormal?"

Is that abnormal? Even Kal'tsit wouldn't dare say such a thing; that would be utterly heartless!

Escorting Arturo, while inherently dangerous, is also a testament to Ernst's trust, and once completed, it will naturally earn him some goodwill with Laterano. Serving as Ernst's messenger to deliver messages to the Empress is an even more lucrative position. Although it may seem unprofitable, the hidden political implications are significant, practically indicating that Kal'tsit is Ernst's "own person" and has the right to know about the message!

As for now, being sent by the Queen and Ernst to take over the Earldom of Viseheim, wipe out the remnants of the Witch King's party, and bring back the Witch King's descendants is a job that ordinary people would love to do!

After all, the list of remnants of the Witch King that Gertrude revealed was certainly incomplete. And Kal'tsit, as the one who carried out this task, essentially had a certain degree of "expedient power."

As long as she doesn't go too far, Herlinmat practically acquiesces, allowing her to profit from the situation!

Don't let the small size of the Viseheim County fool you; it's still a mobile city! It has infected communities like Sunset District, as well as legitimate noble communities, where the potential for wealth and power is immense!

No one in the Earldom of Viseheim could afford to wear the label of "remnant of the Witch King." As long as Kal'tsit showed any attitude of "borrowing the heads of her fellow countrymen," without any hints, a large number of nobles would naturally offer her, the Queen's special envoy, "compensation money" to avoid trouble by spending money!

Such a lucrative job! If someone else led the team there, they wouldn't just be able to buy a car or a house when they came back; they'd be able to take out a loan and acquire a plot of land!

The problem is, it was Kal'tsit who went.

Would Kal'tsit do something like that?

Yes, but she only makes money from the rich; she doesn't skim profits from the poor.

How many "Yuan people" could there be in such a small county as the County of Kvisheim?

"Ugh."

With a long sigh, Kelsey felt that Ernst still hadn't realized her true talent!

Compared to making money through confiscation, she definitely prefers the legitimate profits from business. Just like Rhodes Island!

Well, Rhodes Island didn't make much money, but she earned every penny with peace of mind and a great sense of accomplishment, didn't she?

She clearly didn't realize Ernst's good intentions.

Ernst wasn't joking; given Kal'tsit's business acumen, there wasn't a single time Ernst had seen Rhodes Island not in a financial crisis!

Ernst even suspected that this wasn't a matter of skill level anymore, since Kelsey had lived for so many years and it was impossible for her to have no business acumen at all.

Sometimes, you have to believe in a little metaphysics. Some people's ships are bound to capsize at sea, and some people's robberies are bound to end in disaster. It's not right to say that they lack ability, professional knowledge, or sufficient preparation, but they just do get into trouble. Similarly, maybe Kal'tsit is just destined to be short of money?

With this in mind, Ernst decided not to involve Kelsey deeply in the business plan. Not only did he not intend to involve her deeply, but he also did not intend to let her participate in the negotiations.

Who knows, she might inexplicably ruin things?

In comparison, Ernst felt that Kelsey also had many merits.

For example, even if you imagine yourself as an extremely long-lived being who has lived from the previous civilization to the present, Kal'tsit is very efficient and fast!

Just think about the fine that could bankrupt Rhodes Island!

There's an old saying in Kel'Thuzad: "If the god Jeragund closes a door, he'll surely poke a hole in your wall!" Why does Kal'tsit owe so many fines? Isn't it because she was speeding?

Ah! This is Kal'tsit's advantage!

On the vast land, she traversed it as if it were flat ground. The upper limit of the dashboard was not her limit. For two years, she had roamed the Lontinim-Sherragh Expressway without encountering any rivals or having a single accident. She hadn't even encountered a bandit on the entire route!

What is this? This is talent!

Sending her to run errands is the perfect thing for her!

This is what is meant by "making the best use of resources and talents" and "finding one's own suitable position"!

As it turns out, Ernst's judgment was entirely correct!

Kal'tsit traveled with a Golden Law Guard and a portion of the Empress's Guard, without deliberately concealing her whereabouts. Yet, not a single noble along the way showed any curiosity about their presence, nor did any of them step forward to block their path and inquire about their purpose.

This greatly surprised Jin Lufa, who was accompanying the team, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "How strange!"

After all, the nobles of Letania have never been particularly fond of imperial power. In fact, having lived through the era of the Witch King, they are quite resistant to imperial authority.

It's amazing that a Golden Law Guard and a Queen's Guard crossed over their territory for supplies without anyone noticing!

So much so that when the Golden Law Guard entered the Earl of Wolumond, he went to see the Earl of Wolumond himself, only to receive the following reply:

"Why should Her Majesty explain her actions to us minor nobles? We only have the obligation to assist Her Majesty, not the right to question her. As a member of the Golden Law Guard, don't you understand this?"

Goodness, Kim Yul-fa exclaimed.

This is truly outrageous! He, a mere henchman of the Queen, has been taught by the nobles of Letania to be a dog who doesn't know the rules?!

Jin Lufawei's mind went completely blank until Kal'tsit found them and they left the Earldom of Wolumond, at which point he slowly came to his senses.

This feeling, could it be destiny?

Could it be that Prime Minister Ernst even foresaw this? Could this Kelch envoy be some kind of behemoth agent, possessing the legendary power to "travel unimpeded and safely"?

This suspicion persisted until they successfully arrived at the Earldom of Viseheim, whereupon his attitude gradually became more respectful.

Kal'tsit certainly noticed the change in attitude of the Golden Law Guard and the Queen's Guard he led, but she was completely baffled by it.

What did I do? I didn't do anything! Why are you addressing me with such formality?

You can take food even if I haven't sat down, and you can sit down even if I haven't sat down. You don't need to offer me a cup of tea even if I haven't had any.

Having been pampered to the point of getting goosebumps all over, Kal'tsit had no desire to stay in Viseheim any longer. She had a compassionate heart, but also ruthless methods. The remnants of the Witch King's faction in Viseheim, as well as the research institute of [Voice of the Mortals] entrenched outside the city, were wiped out in one fell swoop. The few "experimental subjects" still in the city were also rescued and temporarily taken to the Earl of Utica's territory by Kal'tsit to wait.

The news was quickly relayed back to Shi Tongling by messengers, and at the same time, it spread throughout Letania.

What is Prime Minister Ernst's opinion?

It was lunchtime, and sitting in the dining room of the Elector of Shitong, Herlinmat cut a piece of roast beast meat and asked as she chewed.

"The remnants of the Witch King's faction are making overtures. Clearly, your decision to choose the Electorate of Leopold as the venue has had an effect."

Ernst replied.

Yes, the idea of ​​choosing Leopold Territory as the venue was not Ernst's, but Herlinmat's.

This was indeed done to "stabilize" the remnants of the Witch King's faction.

The so-called "stabilizing" was actually just about sharing a portion of the profits to feed the remnants of the Witch King's faction and thus reduce their vigilance.

Helinmat did this for the greater good of Letania, not wanting to push the remnants of the Witch King to their limits before delivering the final blow, thus preventing Letania from falling into the same predicament as Victoria.

Victoria truly provided a very good negative example for the Terran nobility.

At the same time, she did indeed have a kind heart.

"She was too harsh on those children."

"Lacking both the resolve to eradicate them completely and the magnanimity to accept them as ordinary citizens of Letania, didn't she realize that this would only incite rebellion in the children's hearts and sow the seeds of hatred?"

Ernst didn't respond, while Werner and Enciodis buried their heads in their knives, looking like they were thinking, "This steak is really a steak."

They all knew who Helena was referring to as "she".

【Eternal Grace】—Ivignad.

They couldn't accept that, nor could Ernst. Only the Empress herself could blame the other Empress.

Helena Martha clearly noticed the silence in the room, and she gave a somewhat sad smile:

"Actually, for her, this is really nothing."

"Anyway, after things get messed up, I'll still have to come up with the book search group: eight? Wife Liulu 4."

Ivignad showed mercy and did not exterminate these descendants of the witch king; this was the mercy of their queen.

But she drove people to rebellion, yet she had to rely on Helimat to resolve the rebellion. In the end, whether it was massacre or confinement, it was Helimat who did it all.

She could even come out and say some good things, which would naturally make the people think that she was kind, Helimat was cruel, she was tolerant, Helimat was stingy, she was magnanimous, and Helimat was violent and bloodthirsty!

Isn't that great? It distinguishes the two of them perfectly.

She won again.

Herlinmat initially thought it didn't matter. After all, she was already a "ruthless authority," and where there are mountains, there are abysses; she wouldn't mind being the executioner herself.

But this time, Ivignad really hurt her.

"However, once these things get out, Ivignad will probably make a move soon."

"Prime Minister Ernst, you..."
