Chapter 90： joke

After bidding farewell to Quiller and his party, Paul returned to his office. In addition to the chief secretary Bona, he also called the new consultant Ladi.

"Welcome, Miss Ladi, may I ask you a personal question?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Grayman."

"Why did you change jobs? Uh... you just gave up your career as an adventurer and came to me as a consultant."

Ladi replied: "Master Greiman, I am a naturalist. I joined the adventure group to travel around to increase my knowledge. Now I think it is time to accumulate knowledge. So I need to find a secluded place , Concentrate on sorting out the travel income of the past few years."

She had already considered that someone would ask him this question, and had planned her speech in advance, so she didn't panic at all.

Paul curled his lips, and after a few more years of industrial and commercial development, Arda would not be so "secluded".

But of course he wouldn't speak up and drive people away.

He reminded: "Don't neglect your own work when you sort out knowledge!"

Miss Scholar nodded: "Of course, Mr. Graiman. Actually, I originally planned to become a teacher at Wyss College, but the Lord Chancellor arranged for me to be a consultant. But as a scholar, please don't doubt my sense of responsibility. .”

Paul didn't have much doubts about Ladi, a person who risked his life to save someone from a tiger's mouth should not be bad in terms of morality.

He thought of another question: "Where do you live now?"

"The Government Council has arranged for me to live in the dormitory next to the Lord's Mansion, and I am very satisfied with the environment there."

"Well, that's good. By the way, Ms. Ladi, the Ms. Dias who was rescued by you last time is also my consultant. Now that you are colleagues, can you communicate more when you have time?"

"Really?" This was beyond Ladi's expectation, but it would be good to find another scholar here, and perhaps we could exchange a lot of new knowledge from her.

"Master Gleiman, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. Director Ford is still waiting for a report from me."

Unexpectedly, Paul stopped her: "Ah, don't worry, Miss Ladi."

She asked, "Is there anything else Mrs. Greiman wants?"

Paul crossed his hands on the table, put on a solemn expression, and asked, "Miss Ladi has been to many countries with the Leachman Adventure Group over the years, right?"

Miss Scholar nodded.

Paul continued to ask: "Then you also have a basic understanding of the situation in each country?"

Ladi said: "So-so, except for the southern countries, my knowledge of other places is superficial."

Paul asked, "Do you know anything about the laws of the countries?"

Ladi nodded: "Before adventurers go to a strange country, they must have a good understanding of the country's laws, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble."

"Really? That would be great."

Paul hammered his hand, as if he had picked up a treasure.

"I am planning a series of reforms for the territory, and many laws will inevitably be introduced during this period. In order to avoid changing the order overnight and not stepping on the pits that have been stepped on by the predecessors, I plan to carefully refer to the legal provisions used in the history and current use of various countries. Since You know the laws of many countries, and you are also a historian, so you must be able to give me a lot of help in this regard."

Ladi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Master Graiman has praised you, and I am honored to contribute to you within the scope of my ability."

Paul said happily: "Then let's just say that, I will ask someone to clean up an office for you in the castle, in case I can consult at any time."

Ladi nodded and said, "I will follow your orders, my lord."

Paul was about to let her go back when he suddenly became playful.

He showed a serious expression and said, "Actually, I already have some ideas in my mind. I will tell you now, and then you can help me sort out a draft and submit it to the Government Council for discussion tomorrow."

Have a mission so soon? Ladi didn't hesitate, and responded: "Please tell me, my lord."

She concentrated, paying attention to the thoughts Paul had to say.

Paul stood up all of a sudden, and said: "In this era, people's hearts are not old, the world is declining, and many precious traditions have been lost."

With a distressed look on his face, he waved his hands and said, "So I plan to forcefully restore some ancient and precious traditions in the form of law?"

"En!" Miss Scholar agreed with Paul's opinion very much: "Master Graeman, what traditions do you want to restore?"

Paul hammered the table and said loudly, "I've decided, let's start with that!"

that matter? What is it? Not only Miss Scholar, but even Bernard straightened his neck, quietly waiting for the lord's next words.

Paul raised his head at 45 degrees and said in a dignified tone:

"I've decided to restore the legendary Chu-Ye-right of the lord first! Miss Ladi, go and help me draft a decree."

As soon as these words came out, the huge office fell into silence for an instant.

Berner's face was dull, while Miss Scholar's face was full of black lines.

"Pfft!" Finally, Bernard's sneer broke the silence, and he immediately covered his mouth.

"Count Paul Greyman!"

There was a deep shame and indignation in Miss Scholar's eyes, and her face was as red as a ripe apple.

Although he knew that the other party was joking, but this was too much.

"Molesting women in broad daylight is not what a qualified nobleman would do!"

Since that conversation under the moon, I still have such a good impression of him, how could he be like this?

The more Ladi thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she blushed and said, "My lord, please transfer me to Weiss College to teach, it must be more suitable for me."

"Hahaha! Just kidding Don't be so serious."

Seeing Miss Scholar's serious look, Paul found it very interesting.

"This joke is too bad, please don't do it again in the future."

Ladi didn't insist on going to the academy to teach, so she just let it go, after all, the other party was really joking.

She begged Paul: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, okay, but I really need your help in the legal aspect, and it's a real business to find you next time."

Originally, I wanted to make a few more jokes, but it seems that with my ability to control humor, if I continue to talk, the other party will probably walk away, and I will lose a rare talent.

After Miss Scholar left, Bernard, the chief secretary who remained in the office, said, "Master Greiman, today I can see a very different you from the past."

Paul shrugged: "What? I am so rigid in normal times? Well, let's talk about something else. I see you are holding a notebook, what's the matter?"

Berna opened his notebook and looked at it and said, "There is indeed something. The Earl of Kent of Emden arrived in Lake Town yesterday evening and asked to meet with you."

Paul was stunned: "The Earl of Kent in Elam? I have nothing to do with him?"

In fact, there is no intersection. When the pirates invaded, Ford's manager wrote a letter of help to Ken, but the other party asked Arda to be a vassal to him, and then let it go.

Later, intelligence chief Hansel caught a few spies who secretly inquired about the secret recipe of papermaking, and they were sent by the Earl of Kent under interrogation.

Anyway, Paul didn't have a good impression of him.

He told Berna: "You can arrange a time for me, and let me meet the messenger."
