Jordan has changed hands.
People never imagined that Jordan could be so magical in just one day. No one could have imagined that Zhou Li would hand over the identity of the Grand Consul to others so easily.
Of course, in less than a day, the birth of the "New King of Jordan" could spread all over the country, and the support of those nobles must be indispensable. They are now eager to write this down in their family tree and show it to everyone in Jordan 24 hours a day that "Zhou Li is not the chief consul".
Of course, after those who returned home calmed down, they realized that Zhou Li would definitely not give up his power easily, let alone hand it over to his hated own hands. You said there was no conspiracy behind this. The dogs don’t believe it.
But what the hell.
Anyway, everything has been settled now, and the medal was given to Ishtar. Zhou Li completed the formalities and handed over the position of consul at the speed of light that afternoon. His speed was unmatched by anyone except the tax collector. Now, Zhou Li's power has been completely transferred, and the nobles are finally freed from this devil's hands.
At least, that's what they think.
But now, Ista, who is at the center of the storm, is sitting in the spacious office, looking at the documents stacked in front of him, lost in thought.
Where am I, who am I, what am I going to do?
Yes, for the position of Grand Consul, Ishtar is completely blind. He is either blind or blind. As an old general who retired from the position of military attache, Ishtar only did his best to fight with the logistics team except for being aggressive on the battlefield. The only thing that had anything to do with civilian duties was that he beat up three accompanying record officers.
Please, I've been beaten, this is a great relationship.
Now Istar is in a state of "everyone is awake but I am alone drunk". Except for him, everyone has a clear attitude towards the transfer of power.
The nobles were happy to be liberated from Zhou Li, and were now discussing when to dig the graves of extinct families. Of course, the people of Yingnan were determined to refuse to obey, and their objections came one after another, surging like a wave. The Jordanian military and various forces have tacitly maintained silence on this matter. When others ask for their opinions on this matter, either Christine or Roya will give a direct and high-quality answer.
I have no idea.
So the question is, what does the current "His Royal Highness the Grand Consul" Istar think of this power transfer?
What a shit basin.
Ista, who considers himself a vulgar person, said bluntly that Zhou Li had put a pure shit basin on his head that had no benefit at all, and those nobles were even more heavyweights and actually thought that this was a piece of shit. A good thing.
When a tiger builds a house for a sheep, you really think he has good intentions, right?
Of course, the facts have already happened at this time. The Consul Medal on the chest is shining brightly in the sun, but the heart of the person wearing it is cold. At this time, Ista was extremely confused, and he didn't know what to do.
Overturn all Zhou Li's previous policies and directly start the era of aristocracy?
The staff member who made this suggestion has been hung up by Ista on the third floor of the Jordan Tower, where the scenery is better. Ishtar didn't think he was a fool, and he definitely wouldn't dare to think of such an approach that was tantamount to suicide.
What a joke, if I dare to overturn Zhou Li's policy now, I will be "voluntarily" stabbed thirteen times in the back tomorrow.
Now, the various policies formulated by Zhou Li have become the most basic pillars of Jordan during the plague. Whether it is a series of policies such as resettling victims, dealing with plagues, commanding and coordinating, and advancing layer by layer, they have achieved obvious results and have become a self-sufficient "policy machine" that can operate on its own.
If in this situation, he goes against the grain and directly overthrows Zhou Li, this behavior is tantamount to directly adding a handful of gunpowder to Jordan's butt and accelerating Jordan's death. Ista estimated that if he really did this, Jordan and himself would only live for two days.
So instead of changing the main policies left by Zhou Li, why not open a back door for the nobles?
hehe.
Faced with this option, Ishtar could only sneer in response. He is not ignorant of the general situation, and will not completely cut himself off from the nobles because of their stupid behavior during the handover ceremony, and directly confront the nobles. In any case, he has noble blood in his body, and his surname is also a noble surname.
However, this approach still doesn't work.
The reason is simple. After thoroughly reviewing the various laws and policies left by Zhou Li with his staff, the staff reluctantly stated that what Zhou Li left behind was a national apparatus that had become a "whole". Each part (law or policy) has several extensions, which affect the whole body. If you want to open a backdoor for those nobles and make changes to the policy, at least 80% of the content must be changed.
It's damn good to die.
In the end, Ishtar and all his staff came to a conclusion - none of the policies can be changed.
So what is the use of my position as consul? Just for fun?
In fact, Ishtar was worried that Zhou Li would control him and make himself his puppet to suppress the nobles while preventing blood from splattering on him. However, he found that he was worrying too much.
People don't bother to control themselves at all. Zhou Li just left a bunch of policies and laws that operate automatically. Istar must obediently follow the path that Zhou Li has laid out long ago. What's even more frightening is that Ishtar cannot bring up the concept of "resignation" at all. Once Ishtar wants to resign, he doesn't know if Zhou Litong will disagree, but those nobles who have already become red-eyed will definitely not agree.
"Ackerman, what should I do?"
Throwing down the "Twelve Regulations on the Disposal of Feces in Plague Areas" in his hand, Ishtar rubbed his eyebrows and tiredly asked his most trusted staff: "There is absolutely, completely, absolutely nothing I can change. These officials Submit this document to me and there is no plan of rejection.”
After using three words in a row to express his helplessness, Ista looked at the staff on the side and said seriously: "These twelve regulations completely classify all the feces in the epidemic area. Which department is responsible for what is written." It is clear and clear that there is no room for any change.”
"What scares me even more is that this document was not drawn up by Zhou Li."
With a long sigh, Ista said with emotion, facing the staff who were frowning and puzzled: "This document was proposed by the Ministry of Health after Zhou Li's rectification. They just followed the rules left by Zhou Li and The law can provide an almost perfect solution. Ackerman, this is why Zhou Li scares me."
"He's counting, and he's not just counting you, me, or those ridiculous nobles."
"What he counts is this country."
***********************************************
"Open the champagne!"
Beside the swimming pool, Zhou Li held a full bottle of champagne and opened the cork with black mist while shouting in surprise. The golden liquid splashed out, leaving little golden lights in the air.
Gu Jue
"promise."
After throwing the champagne to the side of Geralost, who was sitting on the stone pillar and bent down to wait for a long time, Zhou Li picked up the milk on the side and asked Geralost with a smile: "How does it taste?"
"Hiccup...Okay, where did you get this good thing?"
After drinking most of the bottle, Geralost, who was wearing a brown leather jacket and cowboy boots, wiped his mouth and looked at the champagne in his hand curiously: "It was Cam's product twenty years ago. If you have money, you can buy this." Not enough."
"He came from my house."
The dark-faced Christine stepped forward, took the champagne from Geralost's hand, poured a glass with great distress, raised the goblet, shook it twice and drank it all in one gulp.
"Can the hero's affairs be called smooth? That's called searching for supplies."
Zhou Li on the side retorted with a smile. At this time, Lin Ling's voice sounded from the side.
"General Christian, I still have twelve bottles of Cam champagne at home. If you need it, I can sell it to you at the original price."
Lin Ling, with short purple hair, walked out from the side. She was tall and tall in a slim-fitting suit, with a faint smile on her soft and charming face.
"That's not necessary."
As a general of a country, Christine has long known the true identity of "Neal". He shook his head and said politely: "Thank you for your generosity, Miss Neil, but I am a soldier after all and should stay away from alcohol."
"That's not what you said when you almost drowned in the brewery twenty years ago."
Christine, who was exposed by Geralost, immediately started to argue with Geralost. At this time, Roja, who had watched the whole process with a smile, seemed to realize something, and then he was stunned.
"Wait a minute, are you...Neal?"
Roja, who had never seen "Lin Ling" and had only seen "Neil", looked at the girl in front of him with some doubts on his face. Facing the confused Roya, Lin Ling smiled and nodded, complying with Roja's words.
"Neil?"
Roja was stunned. He looked at the smiling girl in front of him and was a little confused for a moment. It was difficult for him to connect the beautiful woman in front of him with the old Neil who was full of twilight.
"I've never introduced myself before."
Lin Ling smiled. After performing the standard lady etiquette, she said to the confused Roya: "My name is Lin Ling. For some reasons, I had to disguise myself and use Neil's identity to come." External contact.”
"Oh...Okay, okay."
After taking a look at Zhou Li, Luo Ya seemed to understand something. He nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Lin Ling."
"Same thing."
After a short conversation, Zhou Li and Lin Ling walked to Eluma and others who were studying the oven. At this time, Eluma was holding the magic oven high, trying to ignite the magic circle with sunlight. Lin Zi and Kaya were crouching aside, watching the scene in front of them with bated breath, as if they were afraid of interrupting Eluma's actions and didn't even dare to speak out.
Reaching out and taking off the oven from the pious Eluma's hand, Zhou Li flipped the switch expressionlessly, then installed the magic battery that Eluma regarded as a gift and activated the magic circle.
Stretching out his hand and pointing at the switch and the magic battery, Zhou Li spread his hands with a look of fool on his face.
Silence is better than sound here.
Eluma, who knew how funny her actions just now were, silently walked to Zhou Li, then swung her body and bumped Zhou Li gently, lowered her head, and a blush appeared on her cheeks, reaching behind her ears.
"Where are Linghai and the others?"
Zhou Li smiled and rubbed Eluma's hair, then asked Azi who was standing aside. Azi glanced at them, pulled Kaya to stand up, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "Aiwei and Sister Ain went shopping. Xiaohai was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get it, so they went together."
"OK."
Nodding, Zhou Li seemed to want to say something, but hesitated. As if Azi had anticipated Zhou Li's actions, she sighed helplessly, and then said:
"They are in the same bell tower. Do you want to go find them?"
Zhou Li knew that the two people Azi mentioned were Tolea and Liya Ke. Since Torea came to Yingnan with Eluma, she disappeared automatically like a transparent person. If Liya Ke had not been by her side, Zhou Li would have thought that Tolea was dead.
Now Zhou Li is very embarrassed about Torea, and his intention to kill her has not changed at all, but the protection of the gods makes Zhou Li helpless. This time Zhou Li was able to join Lin Zi and the others, and Tolea also played an indispensable role. Although Zhou Li didn't know why Torea wanted to help Lin Zi and the others rescue him, he knew that Torea did have good intentions.
Although Zhou Li is praised by many as a "pure new born", he still has a certain bottom line. Even if this bottom line is very flexible, it still exists. Therefore, after thinking hard for several days and nights, he gave up the idea that "the gods can't be seen now anyway, so it's okay to kill them."
Because he discovered that even if the gods couldn't see it, he still couldn't break through the restrictions on Torea.
And now, he held a barbecue banquet at home. Even if he didn't invite Torea, Lea Ke, who also played a big role, would invite her. and……
What worries Zhou Li the most is that Torea in this life and Torea in the previous life are two completely different people. The degree of change is like him changing from a "just knight" to a "human scum" that everyone loves. ". In her previous life, Torea was murderous and arrogant. Everywhere she went, there was literally no grass growing, and she had to chop down every dog on the roadside.
However, Torea in this life is like an inexperienced Bai Yueguang, completely different from the previous life. Zhou Li could kill nobles and gentry without any psychological burden, but he could not massacre civilians. It's not that he is noble or saintly, but mainly because he doesn't want to become a beast with a mind full of killing, which is no different from being controlled by a god.
Therefore, Tolea has now become a hot potato for Zhou Li. Kill him directly, the gods won’t let him. After brainwashing her and turning her into his own exclusive pendant, even the gods would not allow it. Ignore her completely, I'm still thinking about this future demon king.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself."
Knowing that he had to face Torea no matter what, Zhou Li sighed helplessly, stood up, pushed open the courtyard door and left the courtyard.
Then he quickly turned back, asked for the specific address, and left the courtyard desolately.
