Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Gray Robe met the king of the country at the ball - the nominal king.

After understanding the situation, Gray Robe felt that this king was not a simple person, nor a coward, it was just the trend of the times.

Moreover, Cliff seems to be in a very good condition now. He has everything he wants to eat and drink, and he doesn't have to worry about anything. His freedom is not even restricted. The nominal king has now completely let it go. Since he can't resist, he might as well enjoy himself.

So Cliff greeted the gray robe very kindly. The gray robe didn't know what expression to use to face the king, so he could only give a careless greeting to fool him.

"Wow, it's really you, the gray-robed scholar."

Hearing the voice, the man in gray turned around subconsciously and saw Altan, whose figure had become out of shape.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Altan extended his hand and introduced himself to the gray robe.

"You are the Avars living in the capital?"

Faced with the Avars, the Grey Robes wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, but even in Castile there were Avars doing serious work, not to mention that this was the capital of another country.

"What Avars?"

Altan retorted: "I am a northerner! A Capetian northerner, understand?"

Seeing Altan's fierce words, the man in gray didn't know what to say for a moment and could only nod repeatedly.

Then, Altan came closer to the gray robe and asked, "How is the situation in Soran? Is it the same as before?"

The gray robe didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, but seeing that Altan was now dressed completely like a Capetian, he said, "For us, the situation is even worse than before. The lethality of artillery and muskets in the magic-free areas is too great. Originally, we could compete with the Avars for the magic-free areas, but now we have to give up on them."

Afterwards, Gray Robe gave Altan a detailed account of the appearance of artillery in the magic-free area.

When Altan heard the gray robes talking about the powerful destructive power of artillery, he showed disdain: "That's it? I'm afraid it's not as good as the old stuff that our northern army has eliminated."

The gray-robed man's eyelids twitched. Altan had completely regarded himself as a citizen of this country, and even specifically identified himself as a northerner.

However, Gray Robe also understood that Altan was not simply bribed, but really saw part of the strength of this country and completely sided with this country after making a judgment.

After talking with Altan, Gray Robe realized that the military strength he knew was just the tip of the iceberg under the Northern Governor. Gray Robe suddenly became a little worried. If he also learned about the strength of this country, would he fall into a frenzy like Altan?

Especially when the Gray Robe learned that a certain sect under the country possessed certain forbidden knowledge.

Nothing is more attractive to scholars than forbidden knowledge.

When the ball was halfway through, the door of the venue suddenly opened, and a dusty young man came to the ball with officials around him and quickly came to Lind's side.

"Sorry, brother-in-law, I'm late."

Seeing Sean rushing back, Lind patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm glad you're back. Your sister was worried about you."

Sean glanced helplessly at Rena, who was discussing the big topic enthusiastically and didn't notice the change in the atmosphere of the dance at all, and smiled awkwardly.

Lind immediately changed the subject as if nothing had happened and asked, "Is the road paving going smoothly?"

"Everything went well, but we encountered a little trouble along the way, so we came back a little late this time, but it will not affect the subsequent plans."

"There's no need to rush. Time is on our side."

As Lind said this, he sat down with Sean and got down to business.

Ever since Sean entered the venue, the atmosphere had completely changed. The man in gray noticed it keenly. Many people, especially the girls brought by the officials, were looking at Sean with eager eyes.

It seemed that the governor was not organizing this ball just for Castile.

Noticing the gray robe's puzzled look, Altan introduced, "That's one of the Governor's wife's brothers, Sean Lars. He's been mainly responsible for paving the kingdom's main transportation routes recently."

"He is a very popular figure in the kingdom right now. After all, everyone knows that the Governor has no intention of remarrying for the time being, but Lars is not married yet."

Altan gave the gray robe a brief introduction, and the gray robe understood after just two quick glances. This Sean not only looked as heroic as the Governor's wife, but also exuded the attitude of a nobleman. It can be seen that he may have been trained as an heir, and now he holds great power. No wonder he has become the object of love for countless girls at the scene.

Such a talent is definitely considered a celebrity even in Castile.

However, Sean was not interested in the eager eyes around him, but excitedly discussed future plans with Lind.

"The encirclement of the eastern border has been formed, and I have made records of all the major transportation routes. Even if they are destroyed, they can be rebuilt immediately or seamlessly connected to another road."

"The new batch of engineering teams have also completed their training. Here is the personnel list of the new batch of engineering teams."

"I deliberately left some intersections. When the black fog dissipates, the railway will be able to directly connect to the eastern border."

"Those nobles who refused to cooperate along the way were also captured and are now being escorted to the capital one by one."

While listening to Sean's report, Lind was checking the information handed over.

"Let Lowry prepare to send the troops outside Duanxue Territory back one after another, equip them and teach them how to use the new equipment."

"Let Lantern Dream prepare to contact the military and prepare to put Kara into actual combat."

"Inform Lady Judith to intensify the exercises and not let Anjou act rashly during this period."

Looking at Lind calmly giving orders to Lucanus, Sean suddenly felt refreshed all over his body, and his fatigue was swept away. At least what he did was completely effective.

Afterwards, these orders will be sent to various places through communicators after being perfected by the staff group. The entire kingdom will wake up from rest for the war, and every time it wakes up, the state machine will become more powerful.

"You've worked hard. It's not easy to come back. Take a good rest."

After organizing Sean's work results, Lind patted Sean on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Sean immediately said excitedly: "It's what I should do!"

Looking at the excited brother-in-law, Linde waved his hand helplessly: "Go and have a rest. This ball is not only for entertaining guests, but also for welcoming you. You should also get familiar with the officials in the capital."

After hearing Lind's order, Sean nodded and turned to look at the nobles.

Although many girls were looking at Sean with gazes that could burn through the air, Sean was extremely indifferent.

I have to be my brother-in-law's right-hand man, and women are a hindrance.
