The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

Inside the Hall of Political Affairs, only the Eternal Night Empress and Roger remained.

The Eternal Night Empress said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Now, can you tell me what kind of mischief you're up to?"

He had clearly taken a leave of absence, yet he still entered the palace. She was very curious about what this rascal was plotting.

It definitely wasn't a trivial matter; otherwise, he would have simply left a message through the magic beacon.

To come to the palace in person and have Angelina arrange it specifically, with this kid's personality, it definitely wasn't a simple audience, but rather something else!

So, on the surface, she appeared open-minded, acting as if she was saying, 'My dear subject, you may speak without fear of punishment,' but in reality, she was seriously eavesdropping on Roger's inner thoughts.

His mouth might not speak the truth, but he couldn't possibly fake what was in his head, could he?

Roger smiled and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have come to the palace today to ask you for a small official position."

[Heh, Dio's leave has nothing to do with me, Roger, does it? Seeing Blood Mom's confused little expression, she definitely doesn't know my next move, does she?]

[I'm here today to get rid of the handle you're holding over me and go back to being my pampered young master!]

"Hmm? Lord Roger already holds the important positions of Records Officer, Minister of Historical Studies, and Chief of the City Defense Garrison. Does he still have the energy to contribute even more to the empire?"

The Eternal Night Empress had already made up her mind that no matter what official position he asked for next, she would not agree.

Bet you didn't see that coming! This time, I've already predicted your prediction!

Wanting to jump out of my palm by asking for a leisurely position and prevent Angelina from suspecting your identity, who do you think you're looking down on, little brat?

I am an unparalleled ruler; how could I let a little rookie like you succeed?

Roger calmly replied, "The Imperial History has just been completed, and the Records Officer only has sorting work left; the Minister of Historical Studies records Your Majesty's daily life, which anyone can do; the Chief of the City Defense Garrison is only a temporary position and must eventually be returned to the military. So, I really do have the energy to apply my talents to a more suitable stage."

"Arrogant! Are you implying that I don't know how to appoint people properly and that the positions I've arranged are beneath you?"

The Eternal Night Empress slapped the table a few times.

Angelina outside was so frightened that she shrank her neck.

Oh no, oh no, did my brother offend Her Majesty with just a few words?

After capturing Jostar, she hadn't slapped the table for several hours, but my brother's opening remarks were a disaster?

Should I rush in to save him?

Inside the hall, Roger showed no fear, but instead said innocently, "Your Majesty, I dare not have any intention of implying… I said it explicitly!"

The Eternal Night Empress couldn't help but nod slightly. Indeed, that wasn't an inner thought, but directly spoken, not an implication…

Wait, explicitly, isn't that even more excessive?

In the past, he would only think about it in his heart, or at most accidentally bring out his thoughts under the effect of the Truth-Revealing Suggestion.

Now, this rascal is so bold that he dares to directly criticize me even when his brain is clear?

Have you not been hung up and beaten by me before?

The Eternal Night Empress's face was frosty, "Very well, Roger, it seems that even the cabinet ministers are beneath you. Perhaps I should make you a regent? Or give you the Star Throne?"

Roger pretended to be frightened, "I dare not have such wild thoughts. The suitable stage in my heart is not about the size of the official position, but rather about being suitable, so as to achieve the effect of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds."

The Eternal Night Empress was slightly surprised and pondered, "Four ounces to move a thousand pounds? That's a clever metaphor. Tell me, what method do you really have to achieve four ounces to move a thousand pounds and help the empire?"

Although she was angry, she was also attracted by what Roger said and curiously asked.

"I promised Your Majesty to build the empire together, and afterwards, I couldn't sleep at night, thinking hard about strategies for governing the country. I privately believe that the biggest hidden danger in the empire now is the Seven Gods!"

"Nonsense! Everyone knows this point after the Blood Night of Aodu."

"Then does Your Majesty have a method to surely defeat the Seven Gods?"

"No, do you have one?"

The Eternal Night Empress was so angry that she felt numb, but she also had a bit of self-awareness.

Although she yelled about slaughtering gods every day in her heart, after directly colliding with the projection of the Goddess of War, she was very clear about the huge gap.

Not to mention all seven together, even if they came one by one, she couldn't handle it.

And she was already the strongest combat power in the empire. Apart from her, there wasn't even a strong person around her who could break the defenses of the Seven Gods.

Now that the empire had attracted the attention of the Seven Gods, the Eternal Night Empress was very determined to confront them head-on next, but how to fight specifically, how to win.

Sorry, I didn't think about it, just do it (justifiably)!

In her opinion, Roger asking her if she had a sure-win method was like forcing her to answer a college entrance exam paper when he knew that I was a sports student and a national athlete.

Picking a sore spot!

His intentions are punishable!

At this moment, she heard Roger respond with a smile, "I have a method, but not completely."

"Either you have it or you don't, are you playing with me?"

"I have no intention of playing with Your Majesty, but the matter is of great importance, and I dare not speak rashly or boast."

Roger paused and added, "I would like to tell Your Majesty a short story."

He attributed the story of Tian Ji's horse race to a Western background, pretending it was a story from the Veronica Dynasty, and told it to the Eternal Night Empress.

"This A Bin·Sun is indeed a genius, directly abandoning his weaknesses and using his strengths to win strategic victories. This is somewhat similar to the game theory you mentioned before… but what are the empire's strengths at this moment?"

The Eternal Night Empress was also extremely intelligent and understood the truth contained in the story.

Roger replied, "We have no retreat, we are in this world."

The Empress did not understand, "Isn't this a fatal weakness?"

Roger smiled, "The Seven Gods are super strong, no one can resist; but there are only seven of them, and they cannot take care of the entire battlefield of the multiverse."

Roger's words awakened the Eternal Night Empress.

Don't look at the Goddess of War lying in the kingdom of God every day watching muscular men fighting, but she actually has many incarnations at the same time, sitting in other planes to plunder faith.

At the level of the Seven Gods, they have transcended ordinary three-dimensional space and have many behaviors that defy the understanding of ordinary life.

What ordinary humans can observe is just a point left in the space-time river of God.

They will have emotional fluctuations because of temporary gains and losses.

But in the end, how much power to invest depends on weighing the overall strategy for game and trade-offs.

Although the Eternal Night World is large, controlling and harvesting the power of faith and the essence of life is very profitable, it is not the only thing for the gods.

Betting everything on the Eternal Night World is sure to win, but it is not necessary.

The Seven Gods also have to take care of the interests of other worlds and must choose the processing plan with the greatest strategic advantage.

However, the Green Vine Empire was founded here and has no retreat, so it must go all out.

"Using Tian Ji's horse race as an analogy, the Seven Gods are the superior horses, the Church is the middle horse, and the affiliated countries are the inferior horses; now the superior horses cannot be sent over, and the middle horses have just begun to exert their strength. The Green Vine Empire has only one middle horse, which is Your Majesty, but we have 400 million inferior horses."

Roger said slowly, "I don't have a way to surely defeat the Seven Gods, but if the empire equips the 400 million inferior horses as much as possible into middle horses, the Seven Gods will have to pay a great price to control this world. They should give up this world, because with the same price, they can conquer multiple worlds of the same level."

The Eternal Night Empress pondered Roger's words, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

This is really a path she had never imagined!

She only thought about fighting the Seven Gods first, but it turned out that there was a way to win without fighting?

"But, isn't this a bluff?" The Eternal Night Empress asked hesitantly.

"If Your Majesty confronts the Seven Gods head-on, isn't there a suspicion of suicide?"

"So it's just a terrible road and an even worse road?" The Eternal Night Empress sighed and asked a key question, "Then how can we arm the 400 million inferior horses into middle horses? Not everyone has magical talent."

For example, a certain good-for-nothing brother before Nirvana.

"Shift magicians from the battle sequence to production and research positions, lead technological changes, and start the road of magical industrialization, so that every commoner can use alchemical weapons." Roger's expression suddenly became excited, "Magic should be the first productive force, not combat power!"

The Eternal Night Empress was suddenly infatuated when she heard these words.

Because she read many incredible scenes from Roger's projected inner thoughts at this time:

On a ship, ordinary people drove iron lumps that would not flap their wings into the sky;

An iron pillar crossed thousands of miles and accurately hit the target, exploding a huge mushroom cloud;

A shining disc crashed into a huge star, causing the magic energy of the entire world to be disordered;

A huge humanoid weapon of war threw a spear and nailed to death the apostles who invaded from the outside…

These were all scenes of destruction that surpassed ordinary forbidden spells, but they were done by ordinary people?

This earth is a bit something!

This Roger is indeed my treasure boy!

"So, Lord Roger, you want to be the chief designer of this magical industrialization?" The Eternal Night Empress asked in surprise and anticipation.

If he could make these things, combined with magic, and let ordinary people also have the combat power of magicians…

Wonderful!

Then I will definitely be able to beat out the dog brains of the Seven Gods Church and the affiliated countries!

Roger almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Your Majesty, I am wholeheartedly serving the country, why are you harming me?

He smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your Majesty overestimates me. I don't understand magic, I don't know alchemy. I can only offer a humble opinion and open a magazine called 'New Arcana,' to inspire countless geniuses in the empire to contend, and let them practice the most suitable path of magical industrialization."

"'New Arcana'? Good name! I appoint you as the president and be fully responsible for this matter. Just ask for what you need, and I will order the entire empire to cooperate with you!"

"Then the Records Officer and Minister of Historical Studies…"

"It's time for the empire to look forward, you don't need to waste time in the pile of old papers!"

The Eternal Night Empress said heroically.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will do my best to be a good president of this 'New Arcana'!"

Roger knelt on one knee, and his excitement was not fake.

[Good! A new official position is in hand, and the trick of inciting action has been a great success!]

[With this president position, Dio can temporarily hang up, so he doesn't have to worry about his identity being exposed to his sister!]

[I can also let the empire move a little more towards the way I want it to be…]

The Eternal Night Empress was rejoicing at the possible method of defeating the Seven Gods, but her expression suddenly stiffened.

Oh right, I initially made up my mind not to agree to his new official position?

Damn, this kid was waiting for me here?

So in the end, he still succeeded in seeking an official position, and I even suspended his position as Records Officer and Minister of Historical Studies?

Although a ruler's words are golden, an empress can be unreasonable, right…

Forget it!

The Empress thought about the many benefits after the publication of 'New Arcana' and gave up letting Roger be the Minister of Historical Studies and play barrage comments when she held meetings.

It was indeed overkill!

However, it was already uncomfortable to be caught in the trick of inciting action, and I heard him openly commenting on myself there…

This is even more uncomfortable.

It makes me seem very weak and coerced by him!

"Retreat, report back to me after implementing this matter!"

The Eternal Night Empress impatiently wanted to drive Roger away and didn't want to see him in a short time.

I thought that hearing the inner thoughts could grasp the first opportunity, but it turned out that these inner thoughts became his killing and punishing heart against me…

Alas!

"Your Majesty, in order to cooperate with the inaugural issue of 'New Arcana,' I still have something to discuss with you, only your cooperation can do it!"

"This…"

The Eternal Night Empress was a little gnashing her teeth.

Are you still haunting me?

You're dragging things out, endlessly!
