Great Nobleman

After the lady spoke, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly fell into a "weird" silence.

The men all looked down in thought, and many of them even took manuscript paper to write and draw, while the only woman looked expectantly at the chief of the Department of Military Affairs.

Looking at the gazes from his subordinates, the Director of the Military Affairs Department felt a little helpless.

This time Brand came to reimburse the spell scroll, and they definitely wanted to discuss it with him.

But if "her" is allowed to go, there is a high probability that it will not be a negotiation in the end, but a welfare for Brand!

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, the Chief of the Military Affairs Department ignored the expectant gaze of the female subordinate.

Then he said:

"I will go to talk to Mr. Brand personally about this matter. You continue the meeting. I will see the results of the meeting when I come back."

After saying this, the director of the Military Affairs Department stood up and walked towards the reception room.

Along the way, he also thought about his words.

This matter is still more troublesome.

Brand is a descendant of the Holland family, and this time he came to seek compensation from them. It was a long-standing agreement, and the Department of Military Affairs could not be perfunctory.

——It concerns the harmony between the royal family and the nobility.

If there is no background of opening up the war, their Military Affairs Department can directly exchange Brand for magic gold coins of the same value or the same spell scroll according to the consumption.

However, now that the pioneering war is approaching, their military department is in short supply of both magic gold coins and spell scrolls.

Recently, the major legions of the empire have been recruiting soldiers.

Even if a large part of the soldiers recruited are bandit slaves who do not need to pay wages.

But slaves also have to eat!

In order to ensure their combat effectiveness, let them eat well!

And the matter of recruiting soldiers will continue until the end of the pioneering war!

Against this backdrop, the Department of Military Affairs spent a lot of money.

So they didn't want to use magic gold coins to compensate Brand.

As for spell scrolls, their Military Affairs Department is still buying them everywhere!

It is better to give magic gold coins to spell scrolls!

All in all, from the perspective of the Department of Military Affairs, they really wanted to replace the compensation for Brand with something other than magic gold coins and "war supplies".

Apart from these two things, there are actually not many things that the Military Affairs Department can produce in terms of categories.

It is nothing more than various "knowledge" and "inheritance".

Measured by the value of the spell scrolls used by Brand, many of the knowledge and inheritances he can exchange require the personal authorization of him, the Chief of Military Affairs.

That's why he took the matter directly.

Not long after, the director came to the door of the reception room of the Military Affairs Department.

Looking into the reception room from the door, he unconsciously said "Good guy!"

At this time, the reception room was full of birds and birds, and Brand was chatting and laughing with all the ladies from the Military Affairs Department with ease!

——Like a banquet!

Under the warm atmosphere, no one cared about him, the chief of the military department standing at the door.

When he contained regret, with a helpless face, and wanted to enter the reception room to interrupt them.

A polite female voice suddenly came from behind the director!

"Hello, can I borrow it?"

The director looked back and saw a beautiful lady with light makeup dragging a plate of delicate pastries in her hands.

Judging by the clothes on her body, she should also be an employee of her own.

She probably wanted to send the pastry in her hand to the conference room.

As for who to give it to, it is self-evident!

"Mr. Holt!?"

Compared with the indifference on the director's side, the lady became a little nervous after recognizing the identity of the person in front of her.

But what surprised her was that the director stepped aside in a gentlemanly manner, and then made a gesture to invite him in.

Because of his older age, the director's personality is more easy-going.

In his opinion, they just want to treat the guests of the Military Affairs Department well.

If there is any problem, the director doesn't think it is his own staff's problem.

——That must all be Brand's problem!

Seeing the gentlemanly and easy-going look of her director, the female employee quickly recovered, then smiled and said:

"This is the pastry I bought on the road when I went out this morning. You should try it when you talk to Mr. Brand later!"

"Thank you so much!"

Talking and laughing like this, the two walked into the reception room one after the other.

After entering the reception room, the ladies inside quickly noticed the Director of the Military Affairs Department who walked in.

Without waiting for any reaction from the ladies, the director said with a smile:

"I'm sorry ladies, I need to take Mr. Brand's time for a while."

The director had let go, and the ladies in the meeting room naturally bid farewell to Brand quickly, and then reluctantly walked out of the meeting room.

Soon, only the director and Brand were left in the conference room.

There was also a plate of delicate pastries on the table in front of the two of them.

On Brand's side, after a group of ladies walked out of the conference room, he smiled and said friendly to the old gentleman:

"Hi sir, I'm Brand Holland."

Looking at the young man who greeted him politely in front of him, the slight unhappiness in the director's heart quickly dissipated.

He also smiled and introduced himself:

"My dear Brand, I'm Jonas Holt, the chief of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, you can call me Uncle Jonas."

Although Mr. Jonas said so, looking at his white beard and hair, Brand felt that it might be more appropriate to call him Grandpa.

After a few simple greetings, the topic of the two turned to business.

Jonas said: "Because of the impact of the pioneering war, the resources of the Imperial Military Affairs Department are relatively tight. I wonder if you want to change something else, such as inheritance or knowledge?"

This matter has long been speculated, so Brand responded with a smile:

"That depends on what kind of inheritance or knowledge it is."

After hearing Brand's response, Jonas breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Brand has this intention, then the next problem will be easier to solve.

Then, he smiled and asked Brand:

"Is there anything you want?"

Now that the other party has said so, Brand tentatively said:

"Do you have any knowledge about forming a mage group? I am more interested in this."

Hearing what Brand said, Jonas instantly felt happy too early.

——That's something on the same level as legion secret skills! How can it be exchanged casually! Not even an incomplete abbreviated version!

Although I was a little depressed in my heart, Brand's lion opened his mouth.

But on the surface, Jonas still said mildly:

"The mage group is definitely not acceptable! The mage team is fine, but you can borrow relevant materials from the library of the mage academy. I don't think you will be interested."

Hearing what the old man said, Brand knew that this thing was probably useless, so he began to think about whether there was anything else he needed.

Before he could think of anything else.

Jonas asked: "I don't know if you are interested in how to make a knight golem?"
