In the Kingdom of God at the station, Lant, who had just met Gu Leiya, did not expect that his operation in the afternoon would have a far-reaching impact than imagined.
When the great nobles of the Dragon Kingdom saw that Lant dared to confront the Imperial Finance Office, they all clapped their hands and expressed their willingness to support him. Even the Kirislav royal family, which had just started the war, also sent representatives to express their support.
There is no doubt that the great nobles who are at a distance from the empire are very happy to see Lant challenge the authority of the empire, although this is not Lant's original intention.
"It seems that things have become troublesome," Lant whispered, "I'm afraid there is some money that needs to be paid."
"What?" the girls asked together.
"It's okay. I will be in the Imperial Capital all day tomorrow. I have already discussed things with several families and Imperial Capital schools before, and strive to complete them as soon as possible." Lant looked at the dragon girl, "Gu Leiya, no matter who comes to you , no matter what they say, just listen to them, and don’t agree to anything, especially don’t express your intention to fight against the empire with the local nobles.”
"Don't worry," Gulea nodded, "Queen Tyriana specifically told me this afternoon. She said that you represent Queen Tyriana and Her Majesty Willy, and you will not become a tool of any noble."
Lant gave Gu Leiya a look of affirmation. This is the benefit of the dragon girl's noble birth. When something suddenly happens on Lant's side, a strong person will naturally notify Gu Leiya and tell her how to deal with it.
"Lant, I don't think it's possible for them to face those people. I'm afraid you can't face them alone. I don't even think anyone in the territory can successfully face them."
Gulea's analysis was almost completely consistent with Rant's, but what she said next made Rant look at him with admiration.
"I think you should have a temple of your own, not only as a place for negotiation, but also as the first step on your future path to demigods. You must let those lawyers understand that they are not facing ordinary nobles, but a group of demigods." A quasi-god who can curse them and make them fear him before they open their mouths."
"What Gu Leiya said makes sense," Little Cardinal suddenly came up with an idea, "I think such a temple cannot be without a magic furnace, but we cannot negotiate in the existing magic furnace room. It is best to build a special one. Temple, and place a special magic furnace in it.”
"And we have to set up rituals, eulogies, etc.," Wendy also said, looking at the other girls in the room, "Qiucao, why don't you design it?"
"Um... let me ask Zhuo Qian!" Qiucao looked around him. Lili, Faniel, and Itris, who were priests of Lant, had never been to religious places. Except for Lili, who had received a little education. With formal education, other girls can only just write in common language, let alone write advanced articles.
…
On the 27th, Lant arrived at the Imperial Capital early in the morning as planned, and as soon as he arrived, he went directly to the palace in the name of maintaining the magic furnace, and gave a space ring to the chief of the palace hall without saying a word.
"Yeqi City has already prepared 2 million in cash for the Empire," Lant had already thought of the explanation yesterday. "We have always relied on the Empire and are the Empire's staunchest supporters, but this does not mean that we recognize the Empire. Every policy can be implemented by those bureaucrats according to His Majesty’s original intention.”
Seeing the head of the Palace Department's eyes almost straighten, Lant knew that he had to explain clearly.
"I also hope you can explain to His Majesty that I did not want to confront the Department of Finance yesterday, but I was dissatisfied with some individuals using their status as the Department of Finance to seize personal interests and even blaspheme."
"Of course, Mr. Lant, you are a role model for nobles. Your Majesty always emphasizes this." The people in the palace hall took the ring. He never thought that there was really a lord who could shell out so many gold coins. Even the emperor himself yesterday only thought that the rand would be offset by shares in the factory, or a white note would be issued.
With a good start, this day's trip to the Imperial Capital was extremely smooth. The palace, the Imperial Capital Magic School, the families of the Tower of Purity, and the new urban areas of the Imperial Capital School, all of which needed to install the magic furnace, had already completed all preparations. After the rand arrives, make sure the new furnace is started and connected to the magic network.
Not only are the hardware well prepared, but the service is also very good. In each place, there is a legend who specially opens the portal for Lant so that he can go to the next restaurant smoothly. He was even allowed to go to the Gyeonggi Tower for dinner near noon.
"Sir Lant, your feat yesterday shocked the entire imperial capital!" As soon as Shafron Helen saw Lant, he took him to a single room.
"I think you are making a fuss out of a molehill. As for Jacob, if any fairy queen finds out about the conditions he set, it would be easy to kill him immediately." Lant said with a smile.
"You may think it's just a minor issue, but some people are making a big fuss!" Shafron said seriously, "Did you know that from yesterday afternoon to this morning, more than 40 high-level officials in the Department of Finance have been arrested? Investigated,"
"More than 40? How many senior people are there in the Department of Finance?" Lant was a little confused.
"I don't know. No one knows how many people there are in the Finance Department, how much money they have in total, and how many projects there are in total. When the director of the Finance Department first took office, he wanted to do an inventory. But after more than 100 years of inventory, he thought that the Finance Department should recruit at least 1,000 people. Famous Lawyer Finance really gets to the bottom of it.”
"Be good," Lant shook his head and thought to himself: If they figure out interstellar mining and can control the construction of magic furnaces, wouldn't the entire country have to listen to the bureaucrats in the Department of Finance?
"So Lant, you must be careful about them," Shafron said with concern, "Don't look at the orcs and those guys from the front office. They are not scary. The people from the Department of Finance are really scary!"
Lant quickly understood what Shafren meant. During the lunch break, he went to the Hall of Thousand Towers. The senior members of the Imperial Capital School would enthusiastically come to him when they saw him, regardless of whether he wanted to join the Galloping Horse Academy. The next batch of places,
However, at noon today, all the high-ranking officials were keeping their distance from him. They would say hello politely, and then hide and observe secretly. No one dared to approach, and no one dared to say anything openly.
After the lunch break, Lant finally went to the Treasury again. Under the leadership of Gordon Campbell, he went to the magic furnace underground in the Treasury.
As if he wanted everyone to see the culprit who dared to curse their colleagues, Campbell led Lant through almost all the large rooms in the Finance Department. Every time he passed a door, Lant could feel that there were several pairs of eyes behind the door. Staring at himself.
