Chapter 458 A clever way
"Sir Roland, urgent news from Atrein."

Soon after, Roland also received a message from Antonia.

No one else knows about this matter yet, and even Lei, who is the Archmage, is not qualified to participate in the discussion, because Roland is a senior member of the committee and has experience in governing the empire.

Roland looked at it and quickly understood what was going on.

"This kind of thing is neither big nor small.

If not handled properly, it is likely to turn into a crisis for the entire world. "

Following Antonia's instructions, he contacted Anna privately.

Roland didn't tell her what happened. He just mentioned the secret mission and asked her to return to the country immediately to host a large-scale astrology event.

Anna is also an experienced astrologer. When she heard what he said, she somewhat guessed it.

So without saying anything else, we set off immediately.

Everyone here has access to a lot of research funds, special quotas, various intellectual property rights, and private income.

Someone said with some hesitation: "The incident happened in the Dolan Kingdom. Should the Dolan Kingdom itself bear the military expenses?"

She will represent the Seris School and conduct large-scale divination rituals on major events concerning the fate of this country, which will facilitate the formulation of many policies by high-level officials.

But if the country has money, does the treasury have money?

Those high-level mages who are not here are also successful and have no shortage of money.

Disasters like the Abyss Demon usually grow from small to large and continue to spread.

Antonia and others naturally agreed.

The only ones who have no money are middle and low-level mages, as well as apprentices.

Are the mages rich? Of course there is money.

But in fact, when it first happened, there was a chance to extinguish it. "

"This doesn't make sense. Fighting demons is not a local matter. There is no reason for local governments to spend their own money."

“My suggestion is to take precautions and try to eliminate any signs that may endanger Atrein.

The tragedy of Xinweila was largely caused by the lack of attention from the beginning.

The consul explained this reason, and everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

Roland shared some of his experiences in the world of Sinvela. As the imperial consul who had just inspected Sinvera recently, he still has a lot to say in this regard.

In this regard, the consuls actually did not have much disagreement.

However, some differences of opinion began to arise as to how it should be done.

Immediately afterwards, Roland, Antonia, and other imperial governors held secret discussions.

Everyone discussed together how to deal with this matter.

"However, the expenditures for various funds this fiscal year have seriously exceeded the standard, and the Ministry of Finance can no longer come up with too much money..."

Not necessarily.

Many years ago, the colonial rule of Reiner World was difficult to maintain. It was not until the colonial rule was abandoned and turned into a tributary vassalage that it was able to get rid of this burden.

The subsequent operations turned into pure tribute income and commercial interests, and finally turned losses into profits.

There are various items in the treasury expenditure every year, and there are countless research projects and maintenance expenses.

Sometimes we even have to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall.

Therefore, it is understandable that the financial department is not willing to bear the cost for this matter.

Fortunately, all the consuls present felt that this matter was a bit nonsense. After discussing it for a while, they decided to neutralize it according to the method of sharing the shares between Nevis and the Kingdom of Dolan.

The person who proposed that the Dolan Kingdom be independently responsible seemed to have had this idea from the beginning, so he readily accepted it.

But everyone was satisfied, and a new irreconcilable contradiction appeared again. That is, after reducing military expenditures, the anti-magic force that Atrein can organize will definitely weaken.

If it lacks strength, it will definitely not be able to put out the attack of the abyss demon.

What should I do?

Find compensation from local armed forces?

The nobles in the disaster-stricken areas considered themselves unlucky and donated money on their own?
Or use some way to do it for free?
otherwise……

Suffering the common people?
Everyone discussed and discussed, but there was no way to solve this problem. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. No matter how powerful the mages are, they cannot conjure these powers out of thin air.

"By the way, didn't Mr. Roland find Lich Ren's phylactery before and subdue him?

Can Renne be ordered to return to his country and use the undead army in his hands to fight against the devil? "

Suddenly, someone came up with a brilliant idea.

"I think this method is good. If possible, we might as well increase our efforts and find some other lichs and necromancers to work for us.

Anyway, the army of the undead can also be called a natural disaster. Treating natural disasters with natural disasters will definitely achieve great results. "

Several consuls agreed.

Of course there are risks here, such as Ren and others rebelling and colluding with the devil.

Even if you don't rebel, you may still be passive at certain critical moments and let the devil pass through.

No one here is stupid enough to not have expected this to happen.

But everything has a cost-effectiveness, and the slight risks are simply not worth mentioning compared with the cost savings.

"No, I firmly object!"

When Roland heard this, he immediately quit.

"Have you ever heard of the saying that people who are not of my race must have different hearts?

Although Renn was also a high-level mage from Atrein, now that he has transformed into a lich, he is no longer a human being, but an evil undead! "

"This... we have his life box in our hands."

"The phylactery can only control him for a while, but not for the rest of his life!
Too much dependence will lead to bad consequences sooner or later! "

Roland has traveled from a place with historical records and is well aware of the pros and cons of using foreign mercenaries.

From the Roman mercenary corps to the Anshi Rebellion, there have been profound lessons in the history of the East and the West.

Not to mention, lichs are not ordinary aliens, but undead creatures with completely different life forms.

They are completely opposed to humans, and even to all living things.

"Sir Roland, you are too sensitive."

"The lich's phylactery is the fatal pulse gate, how could it get out of control?"

"That's good. We will vote according to formal procedures and the minority will obey the majority."

When everyone heard this, they were not too surprised.

If there is anyone present who should oppose this move the most, it is undoubtedly Roland.

After all, he was the one who found Renn's phylactery, and he had contributed to it in the first place. So when Renn rebels one day, this blame may also be put on his head.

Everyone simply suggested that there should be a formal process.

I'm not just afraid of taking the blame.

I am really against this!

Roland was speechless when he wanted to argue, and he didn't know how to express his feelings.
