"Prime Minister …"
As soon as Roddy walked into the conference hall, he saw two graceful women saluting him.
According to the rules, women's saluting posture was mainly elegant, and the range of their movements would not be too big. But Evelyn and Doris bowed like men, and their backs were almost ninety degrees, it could be said that they were in awe and reverence.
"I haven't seen you for a while. How have you been?"
Roddy did not intend to correct their saluting posture. He walked directly to the armchair and sat down, then waved his hand. "Sit down and talk."
Evelyn and Doris replied in a low voice, "Yes, Prime Minister."
They took small steps and sat on the long sofa opposite Roddy. Both of their eyes were lowered, as if they did not even dare to raise their heads.
Evelyn used to be the chief. Even though she was already thirty-five years old, she had a beautiful face. Because of proper maintenance, not a single wrinkle could be seen. She was slender, but her curves were hidden under the black work clothes. Doris worked in the intelligence department. She did not wear the loose robes of the research department. Instead, she wore leather clothes that accentuated her figure, hunting pants, and leather boots. This was the uniform of the intelligence department, but because of her voluptuous figure, she always exuded a sense of temptation when she wore it.
"I called you here to ask about Eiseka … uh, or the original religion in Lessiman. Of course, it's best if you can tell me everything about Eiseka. It's best if you can tell me all the information about this country. "
Hearing this, Evelyn immediately raised her head, and there was obvious surprise in her eyes. Doris blinked, but it was more out of curiosity.
"Yes, Prime Minister …"
"Don't be so reserved." Roddy was a little puzzled. "Did you get wronged or something? I didn't mistreat you, did I? Or did someone from the research institute and the intelligence department target you? "
"No, no —"
Evelyn quickly shook her head to deny it. Doris said in a low voice, "We're doing very well … Well, better than before in Eiseka."
Seeing Roddy raise his eyebrows, Evelyn quickly explained, "It's, it's mainly because we're a little scared. We thought we didn't do our job well …"
In fact, this posture was completely deliberately put on by Evelyn. Whether Roddy cared or not, Evelyn, who used to be the chief of the tribe, knew that the two of them were aliens. The Kingdom of Karen was not a country of immigrants. The ethnic customs had been fixed for hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, when they tried to integrate into the Kingdom of Karen, they inevitably encountered some rejection.
As time went by, the rejection gradually disappeared. However, political wisdom told Evelyn that if she wanted to have a way out in the future, she must start from Roddy. It was not that she had any conspiracy, but Evelyn was very clear about one fact: her fate was indeed decided by the man in front of her.
Roddy was no longer the Scout Captain from back then. Now that he was leading a country and was on equal footing with the Dragons, there was no need for him to deliberately show off his aura as a superior. Seeing the two's respectful attitude, he nodded. His calm face showed no emotion. "I can see the contribution of Researcher Evelyn here. You've made several improvements in the conversion of energy circles. You've greatly improved the efficiency and reduced the manufacturing cost of airplanes and trucks. I'll ask someone to apply for a reward for you."
His casual words made Evelyn hurriedly stand up and salute. Roddy waved his hand and asked her to sit down. He did not know that Evelyn's heart was beating fast. As expected, he had been staring at her! Fortunately, she did not slack off at all in her work …
"Doris, you've done well too. Your spells are of great help to the intelligence department. The reward you deserve will not be bad."
Doris nodded with a blush. In fact, her mind was full of the "dark history" that had been seen by Roddy. At this moment, she was inexplicably embarrassed.
Roddy smiled and then said, "So don't worry about anything else. I'm just asking some questions. Just relax. "
He asked the maid to serve tea and snacks. Then he took the initiative to ask questions. In this situation, he needed to do some guidance to let Evelyn and the others get into the right mood. After five questions, Evelyn took the initiative to talk about everything about Eiseka from all aspects.
Obviously, she, who had a very high political awareness, knew that it was impossible for her to return to Eiseka. In addition, she had been disheartened after being abandoned. Now, she had more or less a sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Karen.
"So … Eiseka is still mainly based on slavery?"
"Slavery? Ah … Perhaps it can be said that slaves are legal, and they are mainly men … "
"Is it also a monotheistic religion in terms of religion?"
"Monotheistic? Uh … I don't really understand the specific meaning of this. However, according to the doctrine, although many are worshiped, the one who is truly called a god is indeed Kartie. "
"Oh … 'monotheistic religion' also has some other meanings. Then let me ask you this. In your doctrine, does it say that this god named 'Kartie' created the world and controls the life and death of all living things?"
Evelyn thought for a while and said hesitantly, "There is, but … if we trace back to the time before the Tuk Tribe retreated to the desert, the doctrine before that period was slightly different. It did not seem to emphasize this. However, as for the specifics … I have only seen bits and pieces … "
Roddy was a bit surprised. "Everyone in Eiseka believes in religion, right? As the leader of a big family, you don't know much about the doctrine? "
His words made Evelyn's expression turn into one of panic. She was so nervous that she even leaned forward. "Prime Minister … actually, actually, Eiseka's reverence for this god has declined a lot. Hundreds of years ago, everyone in the Tuk Tribe had to chant sutras and worship the god's statue every morning and night. However, because the god's power suddenly declined, we were defeated by those sorcerers."
She continued to talk about the history of the Tuk Tribe. Roddy briefly sorted out the information and roughly understood the formation of the current Lachiman Kingdom.
Obviously, the decline of the god's power caused the Tuk Tribe, who were originally living under the protection of 'Kartie', to suddenly lose the war. Inevitably, they were defeated by the sorcerers of the current Lachiman Parliament.
After being defeated all the way to the depths of the desert, the Tuk Tribe, who were originally desperate, found an underground river and used it as a base to rebuild their country.
According to Evelyn's description, the original 'technological level' of Eiseka was actually not low. It was not that they had nothing but theology. Their military level was not weak either. As an old kingdom that had existed on the continent for a long time, their inherited war skills were not any weaker than the sorcerers of the current Lachiman Parliament.
However, this could only be said … The level of war was constantly improving. A strong commander could not offset the gap brought by magic and technology.
However, after hearing this, Roddy showed a thoughtful expression. He suddenly asked, "In the desert, did Eiseka obtain any other resources or make contact with other forces?"
