Chapter 114 113. Something is wrong with the demon hunter

Count Stesa was flipping through a document in his study.

A piece of information about the witcher Lan En.

He had a pair of eyeglasses on his face.

This kind of glasses is different from Lan En's hometown world. They do not rest on the ears. Instead, they are clamped on the bridge of the nose by shrinking the angle like a compass.

Frowning and taking off his glasses, this handsome and powerful middle-aged man murmured thoughtfully.

"This mutant is not normal."

For people like him, everything you want to know in the kingdom can always be known in detail.

Even with the intelligence system that Nilfgaard supports him, he can always get an idea of ​​things outside the kingdom.

Therefore, even if the order to collect intelligence was issued in the morning, he had already obtained a "book" that was neither thin nor thick in the evening.

The conflict of political opinions between them will not cause the earl to establish another administrative system to confront the king. What is the difference between that and dividing Temeria?

The power confrontation between them takes the form of competing for their voice and control in various bureaucratic departments.

Very different from the speculations of many people who are far away from politics, the truth in this world is often more complicated and absurd.

The demon hunter's alchemy technology is something that even the mages are curious about. In Count Stesa's opinion, it is naturally unique.

"It's so fast that it's abnormally fast!"

The dramatic drama is just that.

Count Stesa used these social contracts to bind his own interests with those of his subordinates, creating mutual trust.

It became the "toxin" in the body of the giant Temeria. It was subtle and indistinguishable, but it was really harmful.

It's just that according to rumors, witchers are trained from secret castles in the mountains, and then enter the civilized world to find work.

But after these scattered events were put together on the timeline, things began to become abnormal.

Stassa chuckled with interest.

Foltest is a powerful person, even Stasa has to admit this.

Two months?

The skin is tender and the meat is tender, showing no setbacks or weakness.

Of course the bureaucracy should listen to the king, but the earl's inheritance rights, funds, and blood inheritance are all there.

There was surprise in Stesa's murmured tone, but more of it was a desire.

There are companies and shareholding systems in this world, but at the same time, there are also blood-line successions and oaths of allegiance.

But once he is gone, these thoughts will spread wantonly because there is no one to control them, and because they have no entity, they cannot be easily attacked.

It is precisely because of this strange but logical political ecology that Count Stesa has the energy he has today.

But just when his fingers were about to slide onto the head of the village elder, a young voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Stetha is very aware of the importance of offspring to mankind.

Stesa could read between the lines and imagine an image of a troubled young man who originally had a pretty good life.

Set up a target and let it represent a thought. Then victory over the target is victory over the invisible thought.

The most important thing is the real investment in his subordinates.

He would gather his men and their families together on major festivals every year.

Immediately afterwards, he became a witcher, participated in the hunt for the witcher mentor, worked in Auriden, and encountered a cannibal case.

Events one after another were briefly marked on the timeline and presented on the paper.

Therefore, in Temeria's administrative system, there will always be departments that ignore each other, or even undermine each other and hold each other back.

"Is it a witcher's potion?"

I just lost a good dog, so why not use it as a rein to tame a more ferocious one?

The count's fingers passed over the individual information of each villager.

What Stysa actually uses is Temeria's official intelligence organization.

He also severely chastised every subordinate who let himself go.

He will tell them that he has prepared an extremely bright position and relationship for him in the future, but if you don't get it because you are not good enough, then you deserve it!

At this time, subordinates will watch with great pride and concern as their children receive his attention.

In this magical Middle Ages, the relationship between those in power and their subordinates is still worthy of trust.

His bloodline, the rights he currently possesses, and the help he received from the Nilfgaard Empire, these already ridiculously strong capital will only become larger and more unfathomable in the future under his operation.

!

It is precisely because of this that Count Stesa was able to extract so much information so quickly from the barren mud pit of Willen.

He really wanted to know how this kind of rapid progress, as fast as riding on a gryphon, was achieved?

Can it be replicated? Can it be applied on a large scale?

The next moment - "bang"!

That noble and handsome face was pressed directly against the desk by the pressure from the back of his head!

His facial features were being squeezed by a pair of big hands stained with blood.

Every reward he gives will cause applause, and every criticism he gives will cause sighs.

But this seems to be a temporary job, teaching on the road.

As long as you are still there, then the power brought by these thoughts gathers around you, which is tangible and has ways to deal with it.

But just what he had already obtained was enough to surprise him.

Even within the same department, there will always be internal disagreements.

According to intelligence, the relationship between the witcher and the villagers in this village is quite good, and there is a lot of room for making a fuss about it.

Because he now represents not only a force, but also a trend of thought.

At a glance, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

As long as Foltest releases news that "Count Stesa was suppressed" from time to time, the people will think that the ideological trend itself has been suppressed.

Since Stesa decided to investigate Lan En, he would naturally not let go of the basic information about the witcher.

Count Stesa's eyes widened uncontrollably at the sudden shock, and his pupils shrank.

A trend of thought that moves closer to a "more civilized and advanced" social system.

"Haaren't these my friends?"

The fact is: Whether it is a count or a king, their orders are transmitted through the bureaucratic service system of the entire kingdom.

That village can be regarded as his private land.

Studying law? Great! I just have someone in the legal department!

Studying business? That’s fine! The Ministry of Commerce is currently short of an intern.

Foltest was extremely skilled at this technique.

In this pile of information, there is a lot of information about the group of demon hunters.

Coincidentally, the nobleman who held the chariot racing competition in Oriden was Count Stetha himself.

Feudal kingdoms cannot ignore these things.

These are Lan En's details.

He also has information about Bordon, but he is a barbarian who is not very proficient in alchemy.

If it was because of the magic potion, then Lan En was an abnormally talented person in the field of alchemy.

Under the pitiful and pitiful looks of their parents and uncles and uncles around them, those children who are ignorant and unskilled will most likely blush and try to get motivated.

If it weren't for the magic potion, then Lan En would be an abnormal person!

The earl took out a piece of information, and it contained Auriden's information.

Such operational efficiency and operational results are at the top level among Temeria's official intelligence organizations.

What Stesa studied under the candlelight was Lan En's brief account of his experiences since his appearance.

But Count Stesa also knew in his heart that he would not be killed suddenly by the king.

Excellent martial arts? That's even better! The income of several villages has been allocated to you, and all you have to do is become a full-time knight who can wear armor and penetrate battle formations!

The first time he appeared, he was taken naked from a farmhouse by a witcher.

The people and forces that he gathered and were attracted by his thoughts would scatter like stars throughout Temeria.

This is not all, more information is still on the way.
