Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 454 Power Struggle (1)

Fernando City, Imperial Government Office.

Although Luke is the actual administrator of the imperial capital, he is only a civilian now. After his title of Minister of Finance was relieved by Fernando XIII, he has not been reinstated, but on this point, everyone is selective. I ignored it.

Luke sat at the table, dealing with his official duties intently.After defeating the attack of the orcs, the human emperor has a lot to do, such as providing compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers, preparing winter clothing and food, rebuilding residences, and organizing manpower to re-dispose of the industries taken over from the escaped nobles and officials...

Government affairs are endless, but Luke's interest is extremely high. For a person like Luke who is obsessed with power, handling official affairs is the greatest enjoyment. Each sentence of Luke may determine hundreds of thousands. Human destiny, the pleasure of taking the destiny of others in one's own hands, cannot be replaced by anything else.

"Let me in...you damn guards, don't you know who I am?" There was a loud voice outside the door, which made Luke very angry when his thoughts were interrupted. He was about to open his mouth and curse severely. A few words, but suddenly thought of the master who was angry.

"It's so fast!" Luke said silently in his heart: "It has only been a few days since the end of the defense of the imperial capital, they actually took action."

"Bang!" With a sound, the door of the room was knocked open. An aristocrat who was about 40 years old strode in, and the guards who stood outside Luke's room followed closely behind the aristocrat. When they walked in, the one they headed saw Luke quickly distinguished and said: "I'm sorry, my lord. We...he insisted on breaking in, we..."

"Go on!" Luke waved his hand gently, letting the negligent guards out lightly.When there were two people left in the room, Luke had a smile on his face. He stood up and walked up to the nobleman, and said in a respectful tone: "Welcome back, my Birmingham."

That’s right, this nobleman who is about 40 years old is Birmingham Fernando who once hoped to inherit the throne of Fernando XIII. In terms of royal blood, his inheritance to the throne can be ranked in the top three. Of course, that’s among these. Before the nobles fled the imperial capital.

"Huh!" Birmingham said displeasedly: "Luke, your subordinates are really... even I dare to stop them!"

Luke was actually very angry, because he stopped everyone with the orders he gave to those guards. As a result, a Birmingham with royal blood made them wonder what to do. Several strong guards actually let one Hanging on the bed of the married woman, the impossibly weak aristocrat broke in like this.

But according to Luke’s scheming, his face was full of apologetics, and he said loudly, "Oh, you are wronged. Those guards are all new, how do you know you? I'll just wait. Remove them. Oh, yes, what are you?"

When Birmingham saw Luke get the topic directly into the subject, he didn’t go around in circles. He went straight to sit in front of a chair and said to Luke: “I’m coming back from Sea Breeze this time, mainly about that Catherine’s Things. As everyone knows, this woman is just Crufernando's wife. How can she become the queen of the empire? I have asked everyone for their opinions, and everyone thinks she can't continue to sit in that position."

Luke sneered secretly in his heart. These moths ran faster than anyone in danger, but when the crisis was over, they immediately flew back like flies smelling stinky meat, which is really annoying."This is true. But, my Lord Birmingham, who do you think should inherit this position?"

Hearing that Luke had come to the most important point, Birmingham's breathing suddenly rose. He could no longer sit still, and stood up awkwardly.Birmingham kept rubbing his hands, his forehead was even slightly sweaty, and his face was flushed: "Well, this, I think... Oh, no, everyone thinks, this, should, that... …"

Luke saw Birmingham hesitate and refused to continue. He smiled meaningfully, and said what Birmingham wanted to say but couldn't say: "I personally think that this position is only our Lord Birmingham. You are eligible to inherit. You, one of the two is too old, and the other is too young, isn't it?"

"Right, right, right!" Birmingham said repeatedly: "That's the truth, or you Luke knows the righteousness. Ah, if I sit in that position, I will make you the chancellor of the Empire."

"Then I would like to thank you first." Luke nodded slightly, and then whispered: "But now the key is that you must get other people's support. Why not, contact other people as much as possible, and maximize Try to win their support, and then we find an opportunity to bring this matter up, then, hehe..."

"Yes, yes." Birmingham said repeatedly: "I'm going now, I'm going now!"

"Wait!" Luke stopped Birmingham, who was about to go out in a hurry, and whispered in his ear: "Please keep it secret, otherwise it will be troublesome to let others know."

Birmingham patted Luke on the shoulder vigorously, nodded in satisfaction, and walked out with his hands behind his back and smugly.

Luke looked at Birmingham's back, a trace of regret appeared on his face, and this expression immediately turned into anger.After a while, four brawny men walked in with their heads high. These men were different from the guards who stood outside Luke’s gate before. These people were adopted by Luke since childhood. They were loyal to Luke. The guards outside were specially promoted by Luke. After all, Luke is now the de facto in power in the imperial capital. Proper promotion of some outsiders will make it easier to gather people's hearts.

What Luke didn't expect was that the few people he promoted vigorously after seeing Birmingham, who had royal blood, were actually fearful, so they let them in.This is where Luke is most angry. Luke is responsible for the food, clothing and housing of the few people, but once something happens, he refuses to contribute. If Luke’s men look like this, then Luke simply rolls it up. Just set up a bedding and go home. His own guards can't take care of it, so what major national affairs are he dealing with?

In view of this, Luke deliberately mobilized his confidant, and he has to deal with those who are not willing to really work for himself. If he does not set a blood example for the latecomers in this matter, then many things will happen. It's not easy.Luke looked at the four confidants, and said if they pointed out: "I have always used people without being close to each other. As long as I have the ability, I will promote vigorously. Of course, if the person I promoted is not loyal enough, he will not be able to leave. far away."

The four strong men stood upright like that, unheard of Luke's words.Luke knew that these four people had actually heard what they were saying, but they had undergone rigorous training since they were young. Whenever the master refused to let them speak, they were dumb.

"The guards who guarded my door just now have good abilities. The reconstruction of the imperial capital now requires a lot of manpower. Let them go wherever it is most dangerous. Don't treat them differently just because they have been with me. ."

The one standing on the far left of these four people has a yellow bar on the neckline more than the other three. Most of these people are the head. After hearing Luke's words, this person just nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Luke added: "This person is still the most intimate one who has been used since childhood. From now on, my safety is left to you. Everyone takes turns. Don't work too hard."

Hearing the encouraging tone in Luke's words, the four people remained expressionless, only the headed one nodded slightly again.

Luke waved his hand and let his men out.When he was alone in the room, Luke suddenly said in a voice that only he could hear: "Or, how many accidents should I make?"

Fernando City, Luke's official residence.

Ryan waved his hand vigorously, and said unhappily: "I'm just an ordinary magic apprentice. I don't understand what you said, and I don't want to understand!"

Hubble Fernando, the 7-year-old child who has the same right to the throne as Birmingham, sits on the ground, happily playing with an exquisite warship made of gold, and beside the heir to the throne, one is in his 30s. The year-old man said tirelessly: "Aha, you are so humble. Who doesn't know that in the defense of the Thor Fortress and the imperial capital, except for the Great Master Victor, you are the first in military service."

Ryan looked unhappy and said: "That's just what I should do, and it has nothing to do with those politics."

"Aha! How can this be said to be irrelevant? According to my Camp Fernando, you are enough to serve as the Marshal of the Empire. If our Hubble can take that position, I must Recommend you to him, look?"

Ryan wanted a fireball technique to destroy this nonsense guy in front of him, but he still resisted it. After all, this 30-year-old man is also of royal blood. Ryan is not afraid to cause trouble, but he doesn't want to give Farasi and Lu. G cause trouble.

"I'll talk about this later, I'm going to practice." Ryan stood up and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the Camp reached out to stop Ryan and said loudly: "Aha, I almost forgot, our lovely Hubble I mentioned you more than once, and he still wants to learn magic from you. Now there is just time, why don't you give him a pointer?"

Ryan looked at the little guy who was less than 7 years old sitting on the ground, his nose was about to run to his chest, and he didn't know how to wipe it. An urge to kill came from the bottom of his heart. Ryan really Unable to bear it any longer, he said word by word: "I have a habit. If someone does not let me practice when it comes to practicing magic, then I will use that person as a target."

After speaking, Ryan flipped his hand and a ball of fire appeared in his hand.
