Chapter 76 I suggest you execute Roger
The mysterious capital, Fengling Moon Shadow Palace.
The Queen of Eternal Night summoned Margaret, the left minister, alone.
Margaret is in charge of military affairs and intelligence and has two special secret intelligence units under her command, named Nightingale and Sparrow.
The members of Nightingale are not limited to the human race, most of them are bards, and a few are noble courtesans.
Regardless of gender, Nightingale's primary selection criterion is beauty and then training to master all kinds of chat, seduction, and charm.
They roam among the upper class and professional powerhouses and obtain information through superb means.
The occupation and personnel composition of Sparrow are very complicated. On the surface, they are ordinary people with common faces that can go totally unnoticed in a crowd.
But in fact, they are proficient in various skills for unlocking, eavesdropping, and escaping, and are experts in forcibly obtaining information.
Nightingale and Sparrow joined hands and made significant contributions to the war that swept the Seventeen Kingdoms.
There is no doubt about the importance of intelligence in war. A little extra information at a critical moment can turn the tide of the war.
After the establishment of the empire, the war gradually subsided, but the Queen of Eternal Night's investment in Nightingale and Sparrow not only didn't decrease, but increased instead.
Because the enemy were now the surrounding religious countries of different races, in order to infiltrate or find seedlings among the believers who were willing to provide information to the empire, they need several times the money spent for the previous human countries.
Although the progress of external intelligence acquisition is slow, Margaret has done quite a good job controlling domestic intelligence.
"Nightingale did notice that some nobles were deliberately hoarding food and fields. This minister overlooked it because I thought it was a normal reserve, but I didn't realize they were making that kind of money!"
When Margaret heard the situation described by the Queen of Eternal Night, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
Even an old Yinbi like her despise this kind of shameless people that make it difficult for the country to make money, and can't wait to swallow the people at the bottom.
The old lady worked hard to pretend to be the Nationalist Army to reduce the possibility of the Seventeen Kingdoms rebelling.
As a result, the aristocrats in the empire disturbed the distribution of food and tried to hoard it to collect both the serfs and the land. Isn't this forcing the people of the Seventeen Nations to rebel and making her previous hard work go to waste?
She was negligent before, but the Queen of Eternal Night reminded her that she will not let these scumbags go and she solemnly promises:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will mark all the discontent nobles and won't give them any chance to rebel and defect!"
The Queen of Eternal Night smiled lightly, "No, after the investigation, you can arrange a channel for them to escape to the Cult State, and just intercept the property they took away at the border."
Margaret said surprised, "Your Majesty, it's not a pity for these people to die. Will you let them go so easily?"
"Let go?" The Queen of Eternal Night snorted, "It would be too easy if I gave them a death, I want them to sit outside the country to grow and become strong, and then sweep them to the ground when they think that they’ at their peak, caught them back and hung them on the streetlights... This is called killing people!"
Margaret's bloodline of demons, a natural evil camp, heard her red eyes shining brightly, "Your Majesty’s plan is great! Play them around in their own game, and after playing them enough, the true trick is revealed!"
The Queen of Eternal Night sat lazily on the throne of stars, listening to Margaret's praise, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
It feels really good to be flattered.
The feeling of copying someone else's homework is also really good.
Finding solutions is for the ministers and the glory is for the king. That's right!
If it was the previous Queen of Eternal Night, she would have interrupted Margaret's praise because a good queen would not listen to rainbow farts.
And also to make it clear that this was not her idea, and let the credit go to Roger.
But after talking with Roger tonight, she "figured it out".
High EQ means doing what you want and being yourself, while low EQ means becoming lazy.
Anyway, Roger doesn't care about these false credits, so why should she waste her saliva explaining it to her because of her moral standards?
Why bother to tire myself out if he is not thankful?
She has realized that if what someone wants is apples, it is not good to send a few cartons of oranges.
In the same way, no amount of rewards can satisfy the greed of some people, and no amount of lofty ideas can wake up all imperial people.
So the Queen of Eternal Night is too lazy to carry on with her "perfect" character.
That's why Angelina heard her confidently say, 'I'm here to eat dessert at your house'.
The acclaim of the tenth volume of "The History of the Qingteng Empire" dispelled the last worry of the Queen of Eternal Night.
Most people of the empire can accept an imperfect queen, as long as she can bring victory, safety, food, and clothing to everyone, and protect their little happiness.
These poor people at the bottom are really easy to satisfy.
But those nobles, who always put their interests first, will infinitely magnify the criticism against the Queen, who is not exactly well-behaved, is not the best with words and is a bit lacking etiquette-wise, and her reputation will be harmed.
Because she was concerned for her face and reputation, the Queen of Eternal Night was coerced by these public opinions and did many things against her will.
In the past, the queen was the only CEO of the Green Vines Empire, and the aristocrats who mastered the capital style were the chairman.
With the means they are good at, they have facilitated many things and taken the greatest interests for themselves.
The Eternal Night Queen once felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.
Roger told her she didn't owe the empire.
The Queen of Eternal Night suddenly accepted the idea that those people held her, praised her, dictated what the queen should be like, and forced her to be pure like a saint. They chained her to force her to do her best for the empire and bear all the internal and external troubles.
They have done so much, yet they are still creating a mess, sucking the blood of the empire and living the most decadent, extravagant, and indulgent life.
Truth be told, how can I not laugh at myself, this stupid "Queen", right?
The Queen of Eternal Night is naturally very smart, but she was too lazy to use her brain before.
She quickly figured out the situation. I should be the supreme person in this country but, in the end, I became your part-time worker?
Why?
No matter how well I do, I will never get their loyalty.
If I just damaged their interests a little, they would change the queen or betray the country for glory?
I'm tired and no longer care about them.
From now on, I'll consider the opinions of the imperial nobles as total bullshit!
Sorry, nobles, I am no longer a perfect queen!
Anyway, as long as most people are guaranteed to have enough food, I will smoke and drink and drive a Gundam. I am still a good queen!
She realized that, in addition to the responsibility of the "Queen", there should be a kind of freedom that belongs to the "Queen".
To a certain extent, the Queen of Eternal Night tends to be brought down by Roger at this moment.
It's just that the Queen of Eternal Night's sense of responsibility is far stronger than that of Roger's, so even if she is unmotivated, she will still do her best for the empire.
But without those external rules and regulations, she is truer to herself and more selfish.
First of all, she can enjoy Margaret's rainbow farts!
Of course, Margaret had a great time tonight.
As one of the most fanatical Poison fans, she indulged in expressing the wisdom of the Queen of Eternal Night with a rainbow fart of 3,000 words.
She was not interrupted, overcome with joy that the Queen is so fond of her fans!
With this single bet, double bet, triple bet, the staying power, the punchline, can Angelina do it?
Margaret's tail swung triumphantly behind her, and her eyes rolled.
Today, she is going to take advantage of Her Majesty's joy and do something big!
And then Margaret said in a distressed tone:
"Your Majesty, the imperial aristocrats have treacherous thoughts, which has a lot to do with "New Arcane"."
The Queen of Eternal Night's expression darkened slightly, "So, do you think "New Arcane" is wrong?"
Margaret, I misunderstood you, you are beautiful but you want to stop me from driving the giant transformation golem?
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I have reread the "New Arcane" no less than ten times, and a wisdom that transcends the times is revealed between the lines. You are the beacon that illuminates the magicians' path! You are the compass that makes magic great again!"
Margaret replied with an aria, "The "New Arcane" should continue, but there are some small obstacles now. I want to help you quickly calm down the disgust of the nobles and traditional magicians, that is..."
The Queen of Eternal Night beckoned, "But it doesn't matter."
She has not forgotten that there is a sword of Damocles on the top of the empire that may fall at any time, the ten-year countdown predicted by Roger.
Therefore, the sooner magicians are allowed to support the industrialization of magic and contribute their wisdom and strength, the sooner the empire's national strength can take off.
Seeing this, Margaret immediately took a step forward and said in a low voice, "This minister suggests that you execute Roger Charles, the president of "New Arcane". Your Majesty can immediately regain the approval of the magicians!"
The Queen of Eternal Night frowned, "New Arcane" was founded by Roger and executed by him. Who will continue to run this magazine?"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, the most difficult part of "New Arcane" is to come up with a new and feasible idea. Now this most difficult level has been overcome under Her Majesty's guidance. Roger is just a waste brother now. If even him can do this well, if the rest of the work is handed over to the minister, I will make the magazine better for you!"
"Oh, so you want to pick the fruits?"
"If you don't trust your minister, I think the Minister of History, Dio Brando, can also preside over "New Arcane"!"
The Queen of Eternal Night almost rolled her eyes.
Speaking of which, aren't these two people the same person?
If you cut one, who will play the other?
An undead?
My dear acting Prime Minister, how much fake wine did Ning drink to come up with such a clever plan?
But Margaret also confidently analyzed, "Your Majesty, there is no gambling element in this proposition. Executing Roger to regain the approval of the magicians, and then advancing the thinking of magic industrialization step by step, will go smoothly. Such a small sacrifice can be exchanged for a huge speed increase, you can't miss the opportunity, you can't lose it again, you can't hesitate anymore..."
To be honest, Margaret's strategy, although a bit vicious, is effective.
Pushing Roger out to quell public anger, and then changing the goal of overall industrialization, will indeed make it easier for magicians to accept to gradually apply magic to the field of people's livelihood.
It's like negotiating, first putting forward a high price that the other party absolutely cannot accept, and then making concessions by lowering the price a little bit.
The magician of boiling water, Margaret is confident that she has a 98% success rate!
But the problem is that the Queen of Eternal Night has a complicated impression of Roger, and the conversation in the Law Salon has risen him to the level of a "confidant".
In her opinion, in this great empire, Roger is the only person who can understand her aspirations and view the empire and the gods from a similar height.
Angelina, Margaret, etc. are more than loyal, but their thought process is far worse than Roger's.
She was already walking on an extremely lonely road. If Roger was gone, wouldn't it be even more lonely, and she would not even have a companion?
If she took ten thousand steps back, it would not be surprising for the traditional magicians, mainly nobles, to agree with the Queen of Eternal Night, who would then be lying flat.
To kill the donkey, to kill the real honest person, to please a bunch of useless people?
Oh, without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, it would be impossible to do such a thing as the self-destruction of the Great Wall!
Margaret spoke freely and generously, comparing the many benefits of Roger's public execution.
The Queen of Eternal Night became impatient and raised her hand slightly.
Under the blessing of a series of specialties such as silent hair, instant hair, extreme effect, and giant, a mage's hand is comparable to a forbidden spell. At a speed that Margaret can't react to at all, she suddenly grabs the arrow part of her tail...
Huh, she was lifted all the way to the top of the hall.
"What--"
Margaret let out a high-pitched scream.
The Queen of Eternal Night stepped off the throne of stars, admiring the left side hanging upside down, her lips slightly raised.
In the past, she would not punish her subjects like this.
But at this moment she has let herself go and Margaret makes her uncomfortable, so she'll play with her until she had enough.
I am free (σ'ω')σ!
Margaret was in the air and felt that her tail was about to break off at any moment and she'll fall into a muddy flesh.
It is said that this height can't kill a magus, but a 1.8-meter tall man can faint and drown in a 1.4-meter swimming pool.
Being attacked by the Queen of Eternal Night, Margaret was a little short of brain capacity at this time.
The Queen of Eternal Night thoughtfully said, "Margaret, what you just said was all out of loyalty to me?"
Margery defended her grievance. "Of course, the minister is loyal, very loyal, absolutely loyal, and never has the slightest intention to harm Your Majesty! I beg you to let the minister go!"
The Queen of Eternal Night sneered, raised her hand again with a mage hand, and slapped Margaret's very firm little ass:
"Well, you didn't want to hurt me, but you wanted to hurt Angelina. Am I wrong?"
"I don't, I want your Majesty's wish to come true sooner..."
Pop, pop, pop, pop!
A few slaps on Margaret's ass.
Her petite body spun in midair, her limbs fluttering helplessly, but she couldn't catch even a single straw.
Margaret turned into a small demon ceiling fan, and because of the deformation and displacement of her clothes, her curvy figure was fully displayed.
A large piece of spring is exposed, coupled with the pitiful little expression, forming a beautiful picture that makes people think again and again.
The scene that was supposed to appear in the middle of the game came out ahead of time because of the "Transformation" of the Queen of Eternal Night!
In the cheerful atmosphere, Margaret wanted to cry.
Pain, shame, and fear.
The truth that I tried to hide was also revealed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong. I thought about making the blue-haired virgin sad. I can accept it if you don't kill him as long as the trash brother is dismissed from office at the speed of light…”
The Queen of Eternal Night snorted, removed the Mage's hand, and added a feather fall technique, causing Margaret to fall to the ground at a speed that would not hurt her.
Thank you for your cooperation, I am happy now~
Margaret stood up rubbing her little butt. She peeked at the Queen of Eternal Night and she was not angry.
"Next time you slander someone, remember to use your brain."
Margaret: ? ? ?
I want to say that I will never dare, but what do you mean, Your Majesty?
I can't help but continue to think of ways to smother that blue-haired virgin!
