Aurora also let out a long sigh at this moment, but then she subconsciously took out a piece of candy from her pocket, stuffed it into her mouth and slowly licked it.

"Old man, can you go and replace me in the afternoon meeting?" Aurora tilted her head in despair and said: "I really hate speaking on behalf of the parliament. Anyway, you are higher than me in terms of status, so you should

An ambassador is more suitable than me."

"Forget it, you can't accept it, how can I do it?" Hammer also clicked his tongue in disgust and said: "No matter how high my status is, I can only stand from the standpoint of the First Library, and although you

You are from our First Library, but you are also a member of the Astrad family after all, and you have the responsibility to fulfill administrative obligations."

Aurora bit the candy in her mouth quite dissatisfied, and when she was about to say something, she suddenly saw a group of people approaching.

"Huh? Is that... Stella?" Aurora tilted her head and looked at the crowd approaching not far away and muttered: "Why do you seem to be in a worse mood than me?"

Avora obviously recognized the leading companion, and behind him was a group of First Library Secretaries who came with the mission. Moreover, they were not real members of the mission, but nominal members.

They are just casual members of the library. However, although their positions are nominal clerks, they currently do not actually work in the First Library. At best, they are just scholars or interns.

After all, the First Library is not an ordinary place. For this reason, even the lowest-level clerk position must go through strict selection. For this reason, although Aurora is a full-time clerk, her status is very different from them.

The difference, of course, is obviously a bit confusing to outsiders who don't understand the position of the First Library.

The leader of the crowd is Stella Olar, a scholar in the First Library. Like Aurora, her scholar position is a full-time position, and her status is actually higher than that of Aurora's secretary, but she herself is

A newly appointed scholar, and one who is still affiliated with the old literature library, her actual rights in the First Library are not much higher than those of Aurora. However, she herself is different from Aurora, she is a genuine "book reader".

"worm", so spending all day studying old documents in the library affected her eyesight. However, although her own healing magic ability can naturally easily cure the eye problem, even if it is cured

Later, she would still have vision problems due to her selfless reading, and repeated treatments were actually not a good thing for her eyes. Therefore, she has since become accustomed to wearing a pair of quite thick myopia glasses to correct her vision.

It was precisely because Aurora saw the other party's big glasses that she recognized the other party's identity before recognizing the other party's face clearly. Then Aurora quickly stood up and waved to the other party, although they obviously wanted to come here.

, but Aurora is not sure whether the person Stella is looking for is herself or Hammer.

"Secretary Salia, and Lord Astrid..." Stella greeted the two people present very politely, but Aurora immediately judged what she was looking for by the names used by the other party.

People should be themselves.

First of all, there is not much difference in status between Stella and Aurora, and their personal relationship is not bad. However, when the other party calls her by her last name, it will only be in some special formal occasions, and it will be related to administrative matters.

.After all, if she is here now for matters related to the First Library, then Stella should call her library position instead of her last name, so from the fact that the other party calls her Aurora, it is inferred that she is looking for her.

Matters related to this peace negotiation.

"What's wrong? Have you encountered any trouble?" Aurora quickly stood up and came to Stella and asked: "Did those noble children do something...?"

There is a basis for Avrola's question, because she knows that the Principality of Michael will let the noble children come into contact with the young members of the mission, and the main goal is to make a group of good-looking dudes dress up as if they are in heat.

He used this to attract young women in the library, and then used this to try to close the relationship with the mission and obtain some inside information about Algasburg.

This method is actually common among all human countries, and in fact the method on the part of the Principality of Michael is quite gentle and polite. Although these young nobles have mixed reviews from the outside world, they will behave at this time.

They are polite and courteous. If it were in other countries, especially in a few countries that openly allow unlimited slavery, the methods they would use would be more debauched or simply unsightly. Of course, they would not necessarily find noble children.

To do this kind of thing, after all, the nobles in various places have many special slaves who have been trained since childhood and are specially used for this kind of thing.

But having said that, Aurora can't guarantee that the noble children on Michael's side will be polite, and there are indeed among the members of the mission sent by the Algasburg Administrative Council this time who are specifically responsible for communication.

Public relations members, so as an ambassador, Aurora did not prohibit private contact between members of both parties, but it was just that members of the mission accounted for a minority among the people who followed this time, and most of them were newcomers under her and Mr. Hammer's command.

, and the majority of them are young women. For this reason, Aurora is somewhat worried that the group of noble children may have mistaken the person they want to contact due to some subtle reasons.

"Those aristocratic children..." Stella pouted and complained in a very unbearable manner: "They are so annoying, they harass us endlessly during our rest. Eve, can you protest to the principality? Or

At least let them know the difference between us and those public relations members..."

After listening to the complaints that were almost beyond her expectations, Aurora patted Stella on the shoulder helplessly and said: "I will protest, but I think it will have no effect. In fact, the most appropriate way is

You all return to the ship and wait. If you don't want Mr. Hammer to return to Wilsk before evening, you can go back to the camp in Wilsk first. After all, this matter itself is not our first book.

It’s something that the museum’s people must be involved in.”

"I don't want to come either..." Stella looked back angrily and glared at the subordinates who were following her, and complained: "They have to come... and I can't stop them..."

The group of little girls behind Stella are all intern students under her command, and they also fall into the age group of adolescence who are playful, active and slightly rebellious. Therefore, when they meet Stella's personality, they are more

For a weak boss, it is really difficult for the rangers to suppress these guys. Just like now, although they showed a little bit of embarrassment and shame under Stella's accusation, they were more willful and stubborn.

, and was completely unaware of any mistakes he made.

"This is a rare opportunity... We also want to come to the big cities outside to have a look... and gain some knowledge..." The little girl at the head became angry for no reason, and said with her hands on her hips carelessly: "And we also

We didn’t cause any trouble, but the group of pretty boys just now were so annoying, they were like a swarm of flies, surrounding us and making a lot of noise.”

"Haha..." Aurora laughed directly and then pointed at the other party and joked: "I said Linda, you compared them to flies? Doesn't that mean you are..."

After being teased by Aurora, the intern named Linda immediately blushed and wanted to fight back, but when she was about to say something, she had no choice but to hold it back. In the end, after struggling in her heart to no avail, she just said

Neng angrily stamped his feet on the spot and said harshly: "Aphroela! You bullied me again!"

"So what?" Aurora deliberately teased: "Is it possible that you are still planning to bite me?"

"Hmph! If I can't deal with you, then I will bully Ernst!" Linda continued to grit her teeth and said fiercely: "I will make him taste double revenge!"

After hearing what the other party said, Aurora was too lazy to continue teasing the other party, and Aurora also knew that if she teased her, she would definitely vent her grievances on her brother Ernst when she returned. Speaking of Lin

Although Da is two years younger than Ernst, she is still considered his classmate, and she is also the niece of Catherine Soulal, the director of the Second Library. For this reason, if she really angers Linda, she really can't do it.

It ended so well. The reason why Aurora deliberately teased Linda just now was not because she had any problem with her, but because some of the people who were close to her liked to tease this irritable girl nicknamed "Little Lion"

Linda Sural is just having fun.

After Aurora calmed down Linda's anger, she asked Stella what happened to them just now. In fact, it was not a big deal at all. It was just that they met a group of aristocratic children when they were walking in the garden and started chatting with them.

.However, it is said that they were able to maintain etiquette at the beginning and just talked, but later a guy seemed to have taken a liking to Stella, who had a weak personality, and started to touch her, but was kicked away by Linda who suddenly became violent.

, and then the two parties dispersed after a few arguments.

"Oh...that's it." Aurora thought they were annoyed and came to her, but she didn't expect such a small detail to be involved, so she answered after thinking about it:

"I will protest to Archduke Michael about this matter, but do you really plan to stay here with the mission?"

"So what? This is the first time for us in this class to travel far away. How regretful it would be to go back without having enough fun?" Linda still persisted in her fight with Aurora for a while, and then directly grabbed her boss Stella.

He walked with his arms outward and said: "Come on, Stella, let's go shopping outside."

Although Stella looked unwilling, she could not resist Linda's forceful pulling. By the way, the other little girls also followed suit and then noisily dragged Stella away. She looked at being dragged to the garden exit.

After Stella looked back with tears in her eyes, Hammer, who had been silent for a long time, finally coughed a few times to ease the atmosphere.

"You just watch these little girls bullying Oral and don't help?" Hammer asked reluctantly.

"What help? How did you see that they were bullying Stella?" Aurora sat back on the bench again and said: "But this is okay, Stella needs to go out for some fresh air recently.

If she keeps immersed in those relics and researches, she will become stupid in a short time, and she doesn't get much rest..."

After finishing speaking, Aurora also looked at Hammer next to her with a look of complaint. After all, Hammer was leading the team when they were doing archeology in Engvar some time ago, and Stella was also very active during that time.

It was hard work, either following the expedition team to enter the upper and middle ruins of Envar again to investigate more information, or staying in the camp day and night to study the newly unearthed information. I heard that if it weren’t for Linda at that time

If he forcibly dragged her out of the mountain of information and forced her to sleep, she would probably stay up late that night and die. And the reason why Aurora complained about Hammer was because the old man was also addicted to it.

So I forgot to remind Stella of his health condition, but after all, the old man was a half-elf, so both his physical and mental strength were different from ordinary humans, so his condition at that time did not affect his own health.

Hammer was made uncomfortable by the resentful look in Aurora's eyes, so after saying a few simple words, he left dejectedly, but he quietly took Aurora away before leaving.

Cigarette box placed on the bench. After all, the old man himself is also a long-time smoker. He was directly involved in the group of people who made cigars in Algarsburg, and the cigarette that Aurora just smoked was from Erica.

It was obtained from there. For this reason, this kind of earthly goods that had never been seen before attracted Hammer's attention, so he took the box of cigarettes with him after dropping a shiny Algasburg platinum coin.

ran away.

Aurora herself doesn't like smoking, as Hammer said, and the box of cigarettes just happened to appear in her pocket. After all, Erica sorted out her gift some time ago, so a box of cigarettes suddenly appeared.

The fact that only half of the cigarette box was left didn't bother Aurora. By the way, she was indeed a little upset at noon today. After all, although Aurora accepted the reality, she still resisted the "split" of Algasburg, and

The Executive Council is the leader of the "split" incident, so she really hates working for the Council now.

Another point that made Avrola very dissatisfied was the fact that the Administrative Council wanted to form an alliance with the Principality of Michael during this meeting. Although she did not say that she opposed the alliance itself, she was dissatisfied with some of the terms in the alliance.

Flora was a little hard to accept. After all, regardless of whether Duke Michael could see through it, Aurora understood that the parliament was planning to use part of the interests to bind the Principality of Michael, and would also try to let the Principality in other aspects in the future.

We also stand on the same footing as the new country that is about to be born.

This is not a good thing. After all, judging from the current plans of the Parliament, it seems that they will definitely choose to completely integrate into the secular country in the future, and will also use their own advantages to stir up friction among countries and create some disputes. After all, I want to

For a new country to gain a firm foothold in the human world, it is not enough to just rely on the prestige of the past. Stable allies and powerful force are the foundation of a country today, and this is also a creed that has been agreed upon by all human countries today.

When the civilizational fault line appeared 200 years ago, the human world was still very chaotic. However, in the following 100 years, humans still relied on various incomplete cultural relics to reorganize the foundation of today's civilization. However, at that time, human society was still in chaos.

It belongs to an era that is similar to the city-state system. The mutual attacks and brutal annexations between each city-state resulted in the emergence of the seven human kingdoms today. Of course, in fact, the exact number of human kingdoms today is more than seven, but the extra ones are

They are just small, weak states or relatively special principalities. Strictly speaking, there are only seven human kingdoms.

When Archduke Michael became independent, he only decided to establish a principality instead of a kingdom. After all, if we really want to compare it based on the territorial area and the number and wealth of the nobles under his command, it is more than enough for Arubag to directly become the king. But he did not do that.

In other words, if he really dared to claim the throne, not to mention the desperate counterattack by the Solis Kingdom, even Alubeg's ally Venetia Kingdom would decisively side with the old enemy Solis.

The Kingdom of Sri Lanka worked together to encircle and suppress Michael's forces.

Although there are usually considerable conflicts and frictions between these seven countries, the ruling classes of each country have unanimously chosen to support each other behind the scenes. At least judging from the current situation, these seven countries will never allow the third

Eight kingdom-level countries appear.

But unfortunately, the Administrative Council of Algasburg intends to establish a kingdom-level national system, so Aurora also foresees how tense the relationship between Algasburg and the seven human countries will be in the future. Of course, the Parliament

They would not be so stupid as to go head-to-head with the seven human kingdoms before they had a firm foothold, so the Council chose the Principality of Michael as a potential ally with an excellent and special status to win over. If they hadn't met by chance later.

As for Erica and subsequent events, the original purpose of Aurora and Hammer was to contact the Principality of Michael, but at that time, Aurora was not quite sure of the true purpose of the parliament.

Algasburg needs time to digest the new territory for development, and the Principality of Michael as an ally also needs time to digest the new technology provided by Algasburg. When the two sides become unable to easily sever ties in various aspects,

Then the Principality of Michael can only choose to side with Algasburg. It is obvious that Aurora has predicted that kind of future, and she does not deny that the Principality of Michael will choose this path. After all, Algasburg

The conditions that Fort is about to offer are really too generous. If Arubag is not blind and stupid, he will definitely agree. It is just unclear whether he sincerely agrees or is helpless.

"Ah... I really hope that something will happen to disrupt this meeting..." Aurora once again leaned on the bench in annoyance and looked up at the sky and muttered: "Well... let's just have the afternoon meeting.
Chapter completed!
