Chapter 153

Wow, did a beggar possess his abdomen?

In a single nook of the backyard, an entire pig was being roasted to a golden brown. Romandro muttered in disbelief as he watched Beric.

It was clear what he meant by being possessed. The sight of him shoving fistfuls of meat into his mouth with each fingers was undoubtedly that of a madman. Beric grinned fortunately and raised his glass.

Yet one more bottle!

You rascal, cease it already! Did a beggar actually possess your abdomen? Have you ever no conscience for taking every week to cowl just a few hours distance?

Dont you realize that when alcohol goes in, it goes in indefinitely?

Youre extra prone to die from a ruptured abdomen than from being stabbed. Oh my, Im speechless. Actually.

Though Berics throat was filled with meat, Romandros throat was filled with disbelief. Regardless, Beric continued to tear into the meat, half out of his thoughts.

Ian, if you wish to make use of that fellow, the meals bills shall be too excessive. The price-effectiveness is a whole mess.

Nonetheless, gulp, the cash spent earlier is greater than the price of slaughtering a pig, proper? What had been you pondering, saying all of the slaves belonged to Ian? Proper? Wow, this meat is absolutely scrumptious!

At Berics phrases, Romandros face turned brilliant crimson. Sure, he admitted it. He had misspoken out of extreme panic and pressure.

Placing the Astanians apart, further bills had been inevitable to convey alongside slaves of unknown nationalities. Medical doctors had been offered to these on the verge of loss of life, clothes to those that had been ragged, and meals to these getting ready to hunger.

Do you, do you perceive the hardships of a civil servant!?

Huh? Whats there to grasp? And what does that must do together with your slip of the tongue? Ian, am I proper?

As Romandro clutched his neck and closed his eyes, Ian patted his shoulder.

After enduring some hardship exterior, the child has change into smarter.

His voice was crammed with laughter. In different phrases, Ian additionally agreed with Berics phrases. Romandro apologized once more, holding his brow.

Im sorry about that.

Its superb. Because of you, they vacated the constructing, so itll be simpler for the guards to deal with the aftermath. And Beric, let me remind you, certainly one of your meals is costlier than what we spent on them.

Eh, thats a lie!

Whilst he mentioned that, Beric tore into a bit of meat the dimensions of his head and devoured it. The bowl was emptied instantly. Mini, in a panic, flipped the firewood with a poker.n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Beric, please eat slowly! The Astanians have barely completed half a bowl!

My abdomen isnt even half full but!

The Astanians had been chatting with Hasha and satisfying their starvation. Judging by the occasional laughter, they appeared to be speaking about their homeland.

One among them made eye contact with Ian and bowed, smiling brightly.

Seeing how the Lugersfell guards left, it wont flip into a giant drawback. After the investigation, if there are any who turned slaves illegally, restore their identities and wrap up the case.

What about Fakens?

After extracting details about the necromancer who assisted him, hand him over to the guards. He engaged in unlawful slave actions, so punish him based on the related legal guidelines.

Fakens was presently confined within the storage room of the residence. To be exact, he was unconscious and holding his place.

Listening to Ians directions, Romandro moistened his lips with alcohol and nodded.

I perceive. Ailing deal with this matter myself. Ian, dont fear and give attention to changing into the following minister of the Ministry of Magic.

As Romandro put down his glass with a decided expression, Beric overtly scoffed. His laughing laughter was purely harmless.

Will he make one other mistake and produce again one thing unusual?

You shut up and eat, or this shall be your final meal!

Ian is the one who feeds me, so I dont know why youre taking credit score! If no ones residence, Ailing raid the kitchen!

Do you assume our Minnie is that simple?

Sure. And it could be good to have yours too. In any case, you attended the palace assembly.

I perceive. Ailing write it instantly and submit it to you.

Clank.

Ian mentioned that and opened the door to the division. Inside, mages had been sitting tightly in chairs. It was clearly the workplace of the Magic Operations Division, however he didnt know why they had been all right here.

What are you all doing right here?

Oh? Oh oh! Ian, ahem. Youre right here.

The primary to face up was Akorella. She wiped the saliva from the nook of her mouth and checked the time. Three within the morning. An odd time to start out work and an irregular time to complete. She pressed her brow, making an attempt to shake off the fatigue.

Let me introduce you. These are the heads of the Potion Analysis Division, the Incantation Analysis Division, and the Magic Software Manufacturing Division. Yawn.

At Akorellas phrases, the others stood up from their seats. Their faces had been already acquainted from passing by. The individuals from the Magic Operations Division had been all sleeping collectively within the responsibility room in the back of the division.

I formally introduce myself. Im Ian.

Ah, sure. We all know. No have to be so formal.

We already know every others faces, dont we?

Theyre my shut associates, so please get together with them.

Shut associates. It meant they had been those Akorella had lured to help Ian. They may be thought of common clients of the aphrodisiac gross sales. Ian shook fingers with them and took off his coat.

If youre shut with Akorella, you could be shut with me too.

Hahaha. Thats proper. To start with, the Potion Analysis Division is undoubtedly right here for the commercialization of the reality serum, and the Magic Software Manufacturing Division is within the large-scale provide of Luron stones. And the Incantation Analysis Division. Their finances is just too small. The reason being that they analysis language, so theres no separate cash invested. They mentioned they hope the following minister will take that into consideration, hmm. Thats what they mentioned.

The three departments wishes from Ian had been clear. Ian nodded as if telling them to belief him. Akorella wrote the title of every division on the chalkboard one after the other.

Swish swish.

And theres Division Head Chang, proper?

Sure. Hes the top of the Magic Analysis Division.

I didnt anticipate it, however hes fairly widespread. He united with the opposite departments that had registered as candidates. I dont know the way he persuaded them but, but when we solely rely the departments with a transparent stance now, our numbers are a bit missing.

Ian strongly agreed with Akorellas phrases that she hadnt anticipated it. Since he wasnt a very spectacular particular person, Ian nodded whereas holding his chin.

What concerning the different departments whose stances arent decided?

There are fairly just a few. Those that dont care who turns into the minister, those that are busy with the investigation, and those that say theyll determine on precept after the mana verification!

As Akorella shouted whereas tapping the chalkboard, Tommy, who was sleeping within the responsibility room, all of the sudden awakened and rubbed his eyes. However realizing it was nothing critical, he flopped again down.

Ian scanned the division names and glued his gaze on the very finish.

What do you assume will occur with that one?

The Magic Help Division. Wesleighs direct subordinate division, presently shunned by each the Ministry of Magic and the palace.

Akorella scratched her philtrum and answered.

I feel theyll abstain from voting. Theyre not even displaying their faces. At the least they know tips on how to learn the room.

Faucet faucet, Ian counted the variety of mages belonging to the Magic Help Division and calculated. Aside from the opposite departments, didnt they’ve the biggest headcount?

Does anybody know the contact info of the Magic Help Division head?

As Ian elegantly requested after ending his thought, the division heads unconsciously raised their fingers. Then, Ian smiled with satisfaction and instructed.

Lets summon them. Right here, now.

Summon? Ha, will they arrive even when we name?

To the Incantation Analysis Division heads query, Ian answered with out hesitation.

In the event that they dont come, its their loss. They need to be capable of calculate that a lot. Attempt summoning them. I anticipate them to reach inside thirty minutes.
