"Oh, right. One more thing, Your Highness. "Melanie patted her head and said," After you went to Mo Suo Star, Lord Bai fell into a deep sleep. He asked me to tell him that you can wake him up when you return. "
"Bai?" Allen was delighted when he heard this, "This kid has entered a deep sleep. In other words, he is finally going to advance."
Allen knew Bai's potential better than anyone else. Although Bai had sacrificed a lot of things to transform from a king snake into a human form, such as the king snake's naturally better body than a human's, Bai's potential was still enormous. However, Bai's potential was still huge. After Laura and Belmond leveled up, Bai remained at Level 9. It wasn't that his talent was inferior to others. On the contrary, his talent was above Lola and the others, and even Hubble couldn't compare to Bai. The longer Bai stayed at level 29, the stronger he would be after advancing. Now that he had finally entered a deep sleep, it was obvious that his advancement and transformation were going on at the same time. If it weren't for Lola pulling him, Allen would have almost woken him up.
In the end, he endured it and waited for the matters at hand to be settled before going to see how much Bai had grown.
The night was silent.
The next day, Allen met with the important figures from Lisi and Peti provinces as agreed. In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, these people filed in. Melanie, who was in charge of leading the way, nodded at Allen, then retreated and closed the door for them. Allen had already known their identities before this. Among these people, there were two provincial governors. The provincial governor was the head of a province and an important person who managed a province for Sbernak. Their combat strength might be negligible, but they were good at managing the territory. Among the people in front of him, the chubby Baltic standing on the right was the provincial governor of Lisi, Heath. This fellow's head was as big as a ball, his neck could not be seen, his body was huge, his limbs were short, and his face was glossy. He looked like a seal walking upright. The one on the left was the provincial governor from Peti, Cohen. This Baltic had an extremely long neck that looked like a giraffe. When he walked into the study, he had to bend his neck with great difficulty, and now he had to be careful not to touch the crystal lamp on the ceiling.
As for the people behind them, most of them were big merchants or important officials in the city.
Allen sized them up carefully. When he saw that they were all sweating profusely, Allen said softly, "I heard from Melanie that you've already stayed in Mokedan for many days. Could you please tell me the reason for your actions? Or is it that your territories are so comfortable that you don't need to take care of them? "
'"Your Highness Allen must be joking. His Majesty has put our two provinces under your name. We are not thinking of coming to see you, Your Highness," Heath wiped the sweat off his big head with a handkerchief and said with a smile on his face, "Your Highness, you must be joking. It's just that I came at the wrong time, coinciding with Your Highness's long journey. I was also afraid that Your Highness would suddenly return and miss you, so I didn't dare to leave and shamelessly stayed in Mokedan until now. "
"Oh, then it must have been hard on you." Allen said indifferently, "Now that I'm back, just say whatever you want to say. Hiding it like this, even if you don't feel bad, I feel bad for you. Don't play dumb with me. If you just want to see me, you can come at any time, but you insist on staying in Mokedan. Clearly, your intentions are not that simple, am I right? "
Heath had an awkward expression and coughed a few times, wanting to speak. Beside him, Koent, who came from Peti Province, said first, "Sir, you are a straightforward person, so let's get straight to the point. After receiving the order from Demonic Ring City, although we tried our best to pacify them, the people in the province are panicking. "
Allen raised his head. "What's there to panic about? Do you think I'll kill them? "
Heath smiled and said, "Of course we are not afraid that Your Highness will do so. Your Highness has no reason to do so, right? It's just that these people are used to their previous days, and no one knows what kind of changes will happen after they enter Your Highness's territory. Especially the merchants, you have to know that the channels and business chains that have already been established may change because of the province's ownership. "
"Even a drastic change," Korndt emphasized.
Allen revealed a smile, but this smile was not friendly at all. "It sounds like you are not very willing to accept the order from Demonic Ring City. Why, are you not willing to submit to me?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstand." Heath hurriedly said, "We have long heard of Your Highness Allen's deeds, so we are naturally willing to follow you. However, we hope that Your Highness can be a little more flexible in the management of Leith and Peti provinces. Is that possible? "
"What's the solution?" Allen narrowed his eyes and asked.
Koent took a step forward and said, "It's very simple, we will pay the same amount of taxes to His Highness Allen according to what we have paid to Demonic Ring City in the past. However, we hope to retain a certain degree of independence in the management of the province. You should be able to understand, Your Highness. After all, the internal affairs of our province are complicated, and if we have to ask Your Highness for instructions for everything, it will be too cumbersome. Your Highness is busy every day, and I think you are not willing to waste your energy on such matters. "
Allen laughed and clapped his hands. "After going around in such a big circle, it turns out that you want to make your own decisions in your own province. It's not impossible to delegate power, but don't you think that giving you such power is a little too much? "
"Or do you think that I am not qualified to manage you? Let me guess. If I refuse, then are you going to obey some orders in secret? "
When Sean and Koent heard this, their reactions were different. The former's legs were trembling and he was sweating profusely. The latter didn't know where he got the courage to say loudly, "Your Highness, I have to remind you. No matter how much His Majesty values you, you are still not a Baltic. How much do you know about Agares, and how much do you know about our province? We pay taxes on time, and if you relax a little about the internal affairs of the province, it won't be good for everyone, why … "
Before he could finish speaking, Allen flicked his finger, and a sparkling red light blossomed from his fingertip, crossing Koent's neck. Thus, the overly long provincial governor fell to the ground, his head separated from his body.
The atmosphere in the study froze.
Allen slowly stood up. "I think you've made a mistake. I'm your master, not some partner."
He looked at the adults from the two provinces, including Heath, who knelt on the ground in fear. Allen left the desk and said, "Even Spenak has chosen to ally with me. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Power? I can give it to you, and I can take it back. You were the provincial governor before, and you were high-ranking officials. But now, as long as I say it, you can be nothing. Perhaps you have a lot of connections, or perhaps you think that I don't dare to shake your position, which will prevent me from getting the wealth I deserve. But let me tell you, talent can be nurtured, and I believe that there are plenty of people waiting to replace you. "
"So, don't be too full of yourself. From today onwards, you're the new Provincial Secretary." Allen pointed at a person behind Koentz. That person was at a loss at first, then he was overjoyed. Allen smiled and said, "What's your name?"
