In the front cabinet hall, the morning meeting has just ended.

Eckhardt II with his arms up knocked on the table and looked at the empty hall in silence; Metterne Leopold, the silent seal minister, sat on his side, holding a parchment roll in his hand, raised his head and looked at his majesty.

"Mettner... You don't seem very satisfied with this candidate?"

"No, although it's a little sudden, this appointment is very appropriate whether it's the will of his highness Brandon or to reward his achievements in duanjieshan fortress." the seal minister replied respectfully, but sighed:

"But... It's still too tender."

"Well, that's true." akhat II nodded after a slight thought.

The minister in charge of the seal nodded slightly: "although he saw through His Majesty's plan, he was extremely rash... It seems that he won a complete victory in this audience, and made all adults aware of his potential threat."

"The only advantage of Loren Turin in doing so is that the nobles in the imperial capital will not despise him; but as the only confidant around his highness Brandon, he is tantamount to exposing himself."

Eckhardt smiled a little: "you mean, since he knows that I will agree anyway... He should be as restrained as possible and cooperate with me to pretend, right?"

Metterne Leopold bowed his head respectfully, and his silent expression clearly agreed with the emperor's answer.

"However, it is also possible that this is his initial plan." Eckhart II narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a while: "after all, this is Turin, the descendant of the 'black Duke'... How can it be a shallow guy?"

"Your Majesty..."

"Speaking of pretending... Lord siscott, the chancellor of the exchequer, is very quiet today." Eckhart II suddenly turned the conversation, knocked on the table and looked at the empty chair:

"Didn't the descendant of the chann family always take it as his duty to oppose my decree and fight Victor to the end? He suddenly fell silent... It's unusual."

"I can answer this for you." the respectful seal minister nodded slightly: "although the chann family is still trying to cover up the news, I saw master lusack kovo leave the chann family's residence quietly when I passed by this morning."

"Is he ill?"

"I'm afraid so." the seal minister nodded:

"The direct line of the chann family has never been more than 60 years old. Lord siscott is the only exception in a hundred years. He is 76 years old... Even ordinary people are in poor health at this age."

"How time flies! Siscott is seventy-six..." Eckhardt sighed unintentionally, and his tone was flat to the extreme:

"Do you have any opinion on the candidate for the next Chancellor of the exchequer?"

"Your Majesty?!"

Metney Leopold suddenly widened his eyes. If you look carefully, you can even find that his body is trembling slightly: "you, you are not already planning..."

"Just in case, there are no superfluous ideas." Eckhardt's tone was still very flat when he knocked on the table:

"It is necessary for the Empire, the former cabinet and a competent and qualified finance minister... I just say that in case of an accident, we should prepare in advance."

"Make a list first, metterne. I'll just leave it to you; don't let anyone know until the time is really ripe."

The stunned seal minister was stunned for a moment, but at last he bowed his head and didn't speak.

………………………………………………………………………

Following in the footsteps of Albert Tarot, the dark haired wizard walked through more than many palaces and corridors; The kind former wizard adviser seemed to have bad legs and feet, so the "walk" lasted half a morning.

Loren knew only what Brandon had told himself about the elbird master; And his performance is as like as two peas of Prince Royal: friendly and soft tempered, twice interrupted by others, and without anger at all, a totally aloof attitude.

In addition, he is also the honorary Dean of the Royal wizard College... According to gray Sal, they do not have a real Dean, but are jointly managed by the mentors of the branches; Therefore, the former wizard adviser has become the highest status of the college in name.

The reason why he thought of this was that Lauren suddenly doubted that the Lord gray Sal would find himself, probably because he was inspired by elbird.

After all... It's not surprising that if you are a member of the former Imperial Cabinet, you will know the exact time when Brandon arrived in the imperial capital.

Finally, in a small cloakroom, elbird finally stopped; Kindly take out a pure gold dragon head Badge:

"Congratulations, Lord Loren Turin... From today on, you have officially become Brandon de sallion's wizard adviser."

The old man's face was full of smiles: "you moved your majesty with your sincerity!"

"You're really flattering, master elbird." with a formulaic smile, Loren bowed to each other very "sincerely":

"I would also like to thank you for speaking out several times and striving for me... I will repay this favor."

"It's almost a scene. It's not worth mentioning..." with two wry smiles, elbird shook his head: "forget it... Let's say something that makes you happy."

"As the wizard adviser of the prince, you have the privilege of going in and out of the sky palace without inspection... Of course, there will be general procedures, and this privilege belongs to you alone and cannot be transferred;"

"At the same time, you will also get a royal gift... The ordinary senior Royal entourage is about 1000 gold coins, but his highness Brandon set your gift very high, at least twice that figure;"

"And as a wizard adviser to the royal family, your status is equivalent to the Viscount of the Empire; this is an honorary title. Even if you are dismissed by your highness in the future, the title will be preserved in the heraldry - of course, it is only a lifetime system and cannot be inherited."

Alberd smiled with appreciation: "but... It's very rare for a wizard to get to this step; it's embarrassing to see what you've done and think about yourself when you were young."

"You are really flattered." Lauren's eyes were bright and his expression remained unchanged.

The other party specially brought himself here, certainly not to say this.

"Look at your expression, you seem to understand." Elbert's kind face showed a smile and his eyes were bright:

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, your practice today is really very abrupt!"

"As the only help beside his highness Brandon, hiding strength is the most correct way... Golovin may be the holy land of the Holy Cross, but this place is not friendly to wizards. Please be careful in the future!"

"Sorry, I'm too anxious." after listening to the other party's words, Lauren sighed very deliberately: "I only wanted to be recognized by the cabinet ministers, but I didn't expect..."

"Well, well, it doesn't matter... After all, you have succeeded." seeing that the dark haired wizard meant to admit his mistake, the smiling elbird immediately began to make a round:

"I don't mean to blame you, but I just want to remind you that the imperial capital is different from other principalities. You must be careful and cautious at every step here. The slightest difference is the abyss."

"Old friends, tomorrow may not be an enemy..." alberd's eyes were deep, as if to hint something.

Loren was on the alert.

What does it mean when the other party suddenly says this sentence?

The former wizard adviser suddenly raised his head, took an alert look around, and then quickly stepped forward to close the door; Then he slowly turned around and whispered in his ear by fastening the badge for Lauren:

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, please remember that his highness connord's stationery is only a trivial excuse. The people who really let his highness Brandon de sallion return to Golovin

It is our supreme emperor, his majesty Eckhart II! "
