Compared with the cross-border teleportation array, the domestic teleportation array is also strictly guarded, but it is indeed much more convenient.

There's nothing bad about it except that it's expensive.

Beatrice gave Tunisia some face and handed over the people who attacked them to the person in charge of the city where the teleportation array was located for handling.

Then he traveled lightly, jumped through the teleportation arrays several times, and finally arrived at the capital of Tunisia.

At the city gate, they met the Tunisian reception staff who had been waiting for a long time.

Beatrice looked at Louis and said:

"Are you going to move in with me or with St. Louis?"

Louis wanted to stay with Beatrice and talk to her more.

But he was a restrained man and knew what to do most now, so he just lowered his head and kissed Beatrice's forehead and said:

"I will finish the matter of the National Royal Knight Academy as soon as possible."

Beatrice was not a spoiled person, so she nodded in agreement.

Watching Beatrice driving away in the carriage, Louis returned to his own carriage and drove towards the direction of St. Louis and his group.

But he didn't notice that when he got on the carriage, Beatrice's window quietly opened, and her beautiful eyes quietly looked in the direction he left.

A gust of wind blew away her hair and her helpless smile.

…

【Location: Tunisia, Imperial Capital, Noble Council】

But the atmosphere was serious.

Someone whispered:

"It was originally a good thing, but it was turned into a bad thing by these people. Lord Duke, are you still going to protect those fraternity members?"

In the Council of Nobles, many people focused their attention on Tunisian Prime Minister Duke.

Everyone present knows that Prime Minister Duke has always stood on the side of the Brotherhood, or in other words, on the side of the largest number of vulnerable groups.

There are also many far-sighted people among the Tunisian upper class, who naturally know that such an approach is precisely the best way to stabilize the current Tunisian society.

Which Prime Minister Duke is acceptable to each faction is the greatest common denominator in Tunisian society today.

Even the most extreme conservative aristocratic forces in Tunisia have to admit that there is currently no candidate to replace Duke.

Even if Duke wanted to quit, most people would not agree.

On December 7, the Tunisian Senate of Nobles, commonly known as the upper house, held a meeting to discuss the election of the head of state and prime minister.

After discussions at the meeting, the parliamentarians collectively passed a resolution announcing that the new election for the Tunisian prime minister will be held on March 6 next year.

Mrs. Lina, head of the committee, said at the meeting:

The upcoming election of prime minister is the most important political event of the next year and will largely determine the direction of Tunisia's development.

In the past, this was just normal official language.

But today, with the conflict with the Hidden Forest intensifying, and the Dragon Empire and the Troll Tribe eyeing the continent covetously, the continent is heading towards a turbulent era.

Next year's prime minister election is indeed the most important event in Tunisia.

It will indeed determine the direction of Tunisia's development.

A day later, on December 8, Prime Minister Duke unsurprisingly announced his candidacy for the election.

Perhaps because they know there is a high chance they will be a runner-up, other candidates for prime minister are not very enthusiastic.

The only person who is clearly willing to compete with Duke is the leader of the Royal Family, Andrew Sanka.

Royal Tunisia is the abbreviation of Royal Tunisians. After Tunisia became a republic, the royal status has been abolished, but its influence in the upper class of Tunisia is still huge.

However, Andrew Sanka no longer had the power of a great noble and did not have any resources of his own, so he was obviously no match for Prime Minister Duke.

Moreover, a few months ago, Andrew was reported by the fraternity for making some extreme remarks and has been in and out of the police station in the imperial capital since then.

That is to say, unless there are any unexpected events, Prime Minister Duke will start his fifth term as prime minister.

——This also means that Duke will stay in office longer than any other Tunisian leader, until he steps down in five years.

Everyone attending parliament today knows that Prime Minister Duke has always been known outside Tunisia for his strong and dictatorial character.

Bards from the Hidden Grove and the Dragon Empire have written many short essays about Duke the Chancellor, implying that Duke intends to turn the Chancellery into his Iron Throne.

But within Tunisia, with the upcoming prime minister election next year approaching, everyone has to admit that Duke is the best solution at the moment.

And it was a legal and reasonable win.

This is not to say that Duke’s political planning is so strong, but that Tunisia cannot do without Duke, at least at this stage Duke cannot leave office.

Just look at the Brotherhood.

As internal conflicts in Tunisia intensify, Brotherhood members are active in more and more areas.

If the Brotherhood was a stepping stone for people's petitions earlier, now, with Tunisia's consecutive defeats in the Troll Tribe and the Hidden Forest, the internal atmosphere is beginning to change.

It's a very simple truth that when internal conflicts accumulate to a certain level, the most brainless method is to start a foreign war.

Tunisia has suffered from the troll tribes in the west for a long time.

If the troll tribe can be eradicated, it will be a good diversion for the current Tunisian people.

However, all this turned into a dream with the intervention of the Secret Forest.

Instead, the situation became more intense, and the already more acute issues were brought directly to the table.

The most intuitive point is that the Tunisian Brotherhood has now been put on the fire.

Since the beginning of last year, the number of people from the public seeking to join the fraternity has skyrocketed.

It is not right for the Brotherhood to agree or to refuse.

Agreeing would mean that a large number of irrelevant people would flood into the fraternity.

The conflicts between the upper and lower levels of the Brotherhood, which were originally balanced, will become increasingly difficult to control as the number of members increases dramatically.

Rejection would mean that the Brotherhood would no longer represent the people and the foundation of its existence in Tunisia would be directly shaken.

There is no right or wrong choice.

That is a multiple-choice question. Just choose the correct answer.

What is really torturous is that both choices are wrong, and it depends on which wrong choice you are willing to bear the consequences of.

Obviously, the Brotherhood chooses to recruit people.

So Prime Minister Duke became embarrassed.

What was being roasted was not only the fraternity, but also himself.

But even the nobles who disagreed with Prime Minister Duke's political views were not very happy.

What they want to see is order and stability.

Duke is in bad luck now, but the problems that were finally alleviated in the past two years have started to pop up again one after another.

Fortunately, Tunisia’s enthusiasm was rewarded. Around the end of last year, Beatrice, the regent princess from the Enther Empire, visited Tunisia.

The two sides communicated on the exchange of high-end talents in the mage industry and reached a cooperation intention.

Not long after, the Enser Empire seemed to have cleared out a group of high-level intelligence personnel.

They didn't quite understand the specific situation, but the Tunisian nobles knew that during this period, the Elf King of the High Forest had an expression as ugly as if his mother had died.

Although Tunisia has more huge conflicts with the Hidden Forest, it does not prevent them from making fun of the Supreme Forest, which has the same origin as the Hidden Forest.

But they soon stopped laughing.

Because at the end of last year, with the rapid increase in the number of members of the fraternity and the intensification of dissatisfaction with the upper echelons, an internal turmoil suddenly broke out.

Late one night, members of the Tunisian Brotherhood launched a New Year offensive.

This group of damned fellows, instigated by some unknown group of people, directly attacked the Royal Knights Academy.

If someone hadn't noticed something was wrong and stopped it by force, it wouldn't be a question of conflict, but a question of how much blood would be shed.

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

There are various rumors among the people.

It was Duke who had gone to the fraternity earlier and used the prestige he had built up among the fraternity members over the years to deal with the people who needed to be dealt with.

Then he went to the Noble Council and had a good talk with those nobles who had many children studying at the Royal Knight Academy.

Finally, he accompanied the leader to the academy to calm the students' anxiety.

After this cycle, the new year has arrived.

After this round of handling, everyone from the public to the brotherhood and the aristocratic council was very satisfied with it.

The only one whose interests were harmed was Duke, who showed up in person.

After all...if you go to ask for a favor, even if you succeed, you will also damage Duke's reputation.

Not surprisingly, the troublemakers were new members of the fraternity who had just joined last year.

There is no need to guess, we all know that there are definitely some forces behind the scenes instigating this.

After all, a fraternity is more often a loose group.

If they want to band together to attack the National Royal Knights Academy, it is impossible without someone to organize them from behind.

But that night was really chaotic. I don't know how many people died quietly. After a thorough investigation, I still had no clue at all.

Fortunately, this situation has been alleviated in the new year.

Because their good opponent Enser brought them warmth in this cold winter.

It was a letter from the regent princess Beatrice.

The letter explained the general problems that Enser had encountered during this period.

Particular emphasis is placed on the existence of the Church of the Abyss, the Dark Side of the God of Love, and the Rudelson Organization.

By the way, it also secretly implied a group of spies from the High Forest.

Moreover, the other party provided extremely powerful intelligence, that is, they found signs that the Church of the Abyss and the Rudelson Organization were engaged in large-scale activities in Tunisia.

The letter stated with certainty that Enser was investigating an extremely evil organization and discovered the matter after some tracking.

But how could the Council of Nobles not know that this was the information collected by Enser’s gang of bastards’ spies in their country?

——However, they had no choice but to accept Ense's favor.

Earlier this year, they conducted an investigation and confirmed that Enser was right.

The frequency of the Church of the Abyss' activities in Tunisia has indeed increased a lot in recent years.

After the appointment of a new intelligence chief, Tunisia and Enther jointly announced that they would further cooperate on the Church of the Abyss, the Dark Side of the God of Love, and the Rudelson Organization.

Aims to combat evil forces and maintain order on the mainland.

——Yes, no matter what the reason for the turmoil caused by the Brotherhood, let’s put the blame on these organizations.

What’s funny is that after the joint attack, they actually discovered traces of the Abyss Church’s involvement behind this.

The real culprit was scapegoated! The Tunisian branch of the Church of the Abyss never dreamed that they would be caught because of trouble caused by the branch next door.

On the gallows that night, the old nobles, the brotherhood and the people sat together with smiles on their faces, a rare moment.

Huh? Why are you asking them?

They looked at whatever was hanging on the gallows.

Because of this joint action, Tunisia and Enser entered a rare period of harmony.

Especially when they heard that the Enser royal family would take the lead in organizing a summit between the two countries and carry out large-scale activities ranging from education to talent introduction to business cooperation, the two countries became excited.

To put it bluntly, this meeting directly led to an increase in Tunisia's trade and business.

Even the Amn Empire, which always loved to stab people in the back, sent people from afar to inquire about the situation.

Probably means:

"Brother, 70% of our population is human. Can we come and get involved in this meeting?"

It can be said that Tunisia has not heard such good news for a long time.

Looking at the old rival who had his chin almost raised to the sky before, now he is running towards me like a dog.

Just one word.

Cool! But now.

The noble council was in complete silence.

Even the proudest old noble was smoking one cigarette after another, not caring at all that this was a meeting.

Ken Williams, the head of the Williams family, knocked on the table and said:

"Silence is not a solution. We have to find a way to resolve this matter."

"Tunisia owes Enser a big favor during this period. If we don't handle this matter well, I'm afraid that not only our partner Enser, but also other lower-level nobles will think we are good-for-nothings."

He looked at Prime Minister Duke and said:

"Duke, I'm going to the fraternity with you this time."

Duke nodded and said, "Punish him however you want. Don't worry about me or the fraternity."

"Of course, don't let the culprit get away again this time."

Duke Williams snorted and said:

"I never thought that one day the top leaders of the Brotherhood who hated us the most would take the initiative to cooperate with us."

Prime Minister Duke glanced at Duke Williams and said:

"The enemies of the Council of Nobles and the Brotherhood are the same: they are all extremists in Tunisia and lawless elements that disrupt social order."

Duke Williams said meaningfully:

"If that's the case, that would be great."

Prime Minister Duke said calmly:

"Don't worry, if they don't think this way, I will be the first one to take action."

When he said this, everyone in the parliament seemed to smell blood and rain in his voice.

Some people couldn't help but feel emotional.

This is why the Duke must continue to sit on the throne of Prime Minister.

It's not just because he has enough popularity among the people.

It is also because he knows very well that although the Brotherhood is a bridge for the people to speak out, they cannot represent the people.

As Duke has always said.

"I have always stood on the side of the most vulnerable groups."

There has been no change from beginning to end.

At this time, the leader who had been silent all this time suddenly interrupted:

"We must give an explanation to the Enser Empire."

"But now there is another very important matter that needs to be taken care of."

Everyone looked towards the leader.

The leader said, "Yesterday, Tom Calisis, the Grand Speaker of the Council of Sages, contacted me and said that their elite troops will start a cooperation with the Enther Empire."

"A Jade Phoenix Mage will fall on our side. Please pay attention to one person. He is the Jade Phoenix Mage on Enser's side."

"He came here this time to take away the inheritance of Yufeng."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence at the scene, and then it became noisy again.

Someone whispered, "Master Yufeng's inheritance was not originally from the Enser Empire. It's not as good as ours..."

But the leader refused unintentionally: "If it were any other time, you would have thought it was fine."

"But this time, not only can we not take it, but we also have to find a way to provide adequate service so that they can take the inheritance away intact. Do you understand what I mean?"

The leader's words were calm, but filled with an unquestionable firmness.

Everyone stood up immediately, straightened their chests and said: "Yes, everything for Tunisia!"

Someone interrupted:

"So who is that person?"

The leader thought for a moment and said, "Do you still remember the negotiations on the waste treatment facility a few days ago?"

Everyone nodded.

"The person coming this time is the protagonist of that negotiation."

"The head of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce, the prince's deputy, the sapphire dragon that walks in Unther in human form—"

"Meyer Morgan Rockefeller!"

Everyone was horrified.

It was that gentleman?!

The next moment, someone said in a deep voice:

"Then it is indeed necessary to entertain them properly!"
