Demon Royal Family

The contribution of Harricon's defense to Lases was too great, and Ivo's contribution was immeasurable. The king granted Ivo the status of marquis in the name of the royal family. This matter was not announced to the public, and only a few marquis families had a premonition.

The six Marquises of Lasces may become seven.

With only one medal ceremony left, Ivo can be on equal footing with them, and even have a higher status than them with the bonus of reputation.

Ivo was invited to join Lasces' negotiating team. Unlike those followers, Ivo obviously had the right to speak in the negotiations.

"are you going alone?"

Nafei, wearing a gray robe, stood at the door. She had long, silky flaxen hair that reached her waist. Twenty-four years old is the most beautiful golden age for a woman. She has beautiful features and skin as white as milk. Her every frown and smile reveal it inadvertently. With charming femininity, Ivo will always be amazed by Nafi's appearance no matter how many times he sees it.

"Seven III needs someone who can control the situation." Ivo pointed at himself and smiled evilly: "I reluctantly agreed."

Ivo threw the lord's seal to Nafi, "During my absence, you have full authority to represent me and help me manage the territory."

"Humph." Nafei wrinkled her nose, looking very cute, and said dissatisfied: "You want to be lazy again."

When there were no major events, the daily management of the territory was trivial and boring, which completely exhausted all Ivo's patience. His original intention of building the territory was not to drag down his practice time, so he threw away all his powers, big and small. Other lords were eager to seize power in their hands, but Ivo did the opposite, leaving the higher-ups in the territory dumbfounded.

The most annoying thing is that the lord who is not doing his job disappears from time to time and just gives up his job. He only comes back after ten days and a half. Nafi complains more than once. Ivo’s reason is the same every time, saying that he is going to practice in the wild. What can you do to me?

Ivo made Nafi familiar with how to deal with various affairs, trained her to be his housekeeper, helped him manage his territory, and fully implemented the fine tradition of a secretarial secretary.

Nafi accepted the lord's seal angrily. This thing spent more time in her hands than Ivo, the real owner.

"Oh, my life is so leisurely." Ivo stretched, his whole body crackling.

"That's not because of me." Nafei said angrily.

"And I..." Old Cody came to the door tremblingly, with a look of resentment on his face, "Lord, can I apply for retirement in advance?"

"The proposal is rejected." Ivo took out a piece of fruit from the fruit basket, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Didn't you get two deputies?"

"One fell ill from overwork the day before yesterday, and the other held my lap and cried and begged to resign. Can you give me some reliable people?" Old Cody rolled his eyes.

"Well, we need to consider this in the long run..." Ivo sneered, "Why did you come to me?"

"Lord, you have not attended the territory meeting for two months. I..."

"Goodbye!" Ivo immediately threw away the fruit in his hand and was about to escape through the window.

Old Cody reacted quickly and immediately grabbed Ivo's sleeve, his gray beard trembling, and loudly said: "Lord, you must attend the meeting today no matter what!"

"Haha...dream!"

Ivo shook him a few times but failed to break free. He was about to draw a knife to cut off the robe. Nafei, who was watching the show, raised her finger, and a magic halo shot out from her fingertips. A blue barrier sealed the window, and she chuckled: "Ivo, you can't escape today."

Ivo felt the familiar strength of the mana surge and glanced at her in surprise, "Have you been promoted to the fifth ring?"

Nafei smiled and nodded, her eyes cunning, like a little fox.

The life force sharing contract between her and Ivo liberates her powerful talents. The stronger Ivo becomes, the greater extent her talents that are dragged down by her body can be released. Half of her progress and growth is due to Ivo, Na Fei understands this deeply, so she knows better than anyone else the explosive power hidden within Ivo.

Despite Ivo's elusive appearance, he rarely appears in front of the higher-ups in the territory. Others think he is just going out for some leisure time. Only Nafi knows that Ivo basically spends her private time practicing, and her physical fitness is getting better and better. , proving that Ivo is getting stronger and stronger.

Old Cody grabbed Ivo's arm and pulled him back with a firm attitude. Ivo did not dare to struggle too hard for fear of shaking old Cody to pieces, so he could only be dragged to the conference room with a depressed look on his face.

Bang, the door of the conference room opened, and the senior officials of the territory present looked over. When they saw Ivo appearing, they were all shocked and stood up.

"Am I hallucinating? The Lord is actually present!"

"Oh my god, go find out what holiday today is."

"Haha, Rhodes, I won the bet. The lord disappeared for two months before reappearing." Dwarf Dopp laughed.

Rhodes mumbled and gave the money, "If I had known, I wouldn't have bet for a month."

The meeting room was in a mess. The lord appeared once rarely, and it was as festive as the New Year.

"Quiet." Ivo knocked on the table with a dissatisfied look on his face. He rarely attended territorial meetings. As for making such a fuss, was he welcoming me or not?

The lord was still very good at speaking. The senior officials calmed down and began to report on territorial affairs.

Usually when the lord is away, the management of the territory is discussed and negotiated by everyone. When the lord attends the meeting, their work becomes reporting.

After only ten minutes of listening, Ivo began to doze off. They were all about trivial matters, such as the ration share of fodder for the stables, the proposal for street sanitation management in Liema District, the sewer expansion plan, and the discussion on whether residents’ complaints were necessary.

What kind of ghosts are these!

After finally getting through the report, Nafi quickly kicked the unconscious Ivo. Ivo came back to his senses with a jolt and quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. When he saw the higher-ups in the territory looking at him helplessly, he cleared his throat, " Well...retreat from the court without incident."

"Bang!" All the senior officials in the territory fell under the table.

After reporting for a long time, you just dismissed us with this sentence? !

Ivo thought of something, took out the king's invitation, and said: "I'm going to participate in negotiations. I'll set off in a moment. During this time, you should pay attention to the security and defense of the territory. We do not rule out the possibility that the enemy will use negotiations as a guise to lower our strength." Be alert and take advantage of the situation."

When it came to business, the higher-ups in the territory got up from under the table with serious expressions on their faces.

"Also, the city's areas need to be refined. After the war, we must focus on improving living conditions and let Rael and the others come up with a plan..." This involves Ivo's third-stage concept of the defense line. , he attaches great importance to it.

Lasces' royal city was destroyed and the capital had to be moved. His goal was to make the new Lasces city the new capital of the kingdom. The potential benefits this would bring to his reputation and status were too huge to be estimated.

The higher-ups in the territory took notes one after another.

The lord got serious, everyone took it seriously, and past examples proved that Ivo rarely made mistakes.

"...That's about it. Finally, for the 43rd time, I proposed to remove the statue outside the city hall..."

"No." The higher-ups in the territory said in unison.

Ivo was so upset that he waved his hand, "The meeting is dismissed, get out."
