Now that Hyer has accepted Kroeber's request, there will be no more objections in the next meeting.
In other words, even if someone opposes him next, he will ruthlessly purge these guys.
Although Hyer had not followed him for a long time, he was loyal, diligent, and hardworking. Kroeber still had a certain kindness towards his own people.
But the rest of the people were not as diligent or loyal as Hyell.
Especially those officials, after gaining power, they become corrupt very quickly. Corruption, bribery, and dereliction of duty, almost all the negative effects appear on them.
This is also the reason why Krober implemented the official system. If there is no supervision, these guys will make his territory a mess.
However, Samuel's intelligence agency was quite effective. Almost 70% of the intelligence Krober had came from this intelligence agency.
"Okay, go ahead and continue eating. I have something to talk to Samuel about."
Patting Hyer on the shoulder, Kroeber walked out of the tent and headed for Samuel's "laboratory".
Samuel's laboratory is still in a mess.
Various experimental equipment were placed on the table, and a large number of documents and books were scattered on the floor and bed.
"Sir, you are here."
Samuel naturally noticed Krober's arrival at the first moment, and he hurried forward to salute Krober.
Krober waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, and then he found a place to sit before leaving.
"How is the construction of the intelligence agencies going? I know they are now working, but the details are still unclear."
Upon hearing this, Samuel took out a file that had been recording information since the establishment of the intelligence agency and handed it to Krober.
After taking it, Krober began to read it carefully. He found that it recorded the achievements of the intelligence agency and their future development plans.
"Currently, the intelligence agency has nearly twenty qualified spies. They are all lurking on various islands and collecting intelligence as soldiers, servants, etc.
The remaining thirty spies are orphans selected from slaves. They are currently being trained and will probably be ready to be deployed in a few months."
Kroeber was very satisfied with the speed of establishing the intelligence agency and expressed his appreciation and affirmation to Samuel.
"Very good. I didn't expect that you could establish such a well-organized intelligence agency in just a few months. I'm really surprised."
Facing Krober's praise, Samuel scratched his head awkwardly and explained:
"Sir, this isn't entirely my credit. Most of the qualified spies nowadays are trained by the Jacaranda family. They have experienced intelligence spies serving as instructors, and they have been of great help to me in this regard."
"Oh... the Jacaranda family, that's great."
Kroeber's old suspicious nature came back.
"Well, your achievements are all here. Tell me what reward you want."
Kroeber still has a high degree of trust in Samuel, who is obsessed with academics and has no interest in power.
Samuel didn't have the roundabout ways of the nobles, and he meant what he said. Krober had always had a high liking for people with this kind of character.
"Sir, if possible, could you let me take a few drops of your blood to study the secrets of the Dragon Devouring Body?"
Samuel asked Krober with an embarrassed look on his face. After all, this request was indeed a challenge to the lord's dignity.
Krober raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't feel provoked because he knew that Samuel was a man who was very dedicated to academics.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Okay, but I can only give you three drops, no more."
Samuel's eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded and thanked him quickly:
"Thank you, sir! These three drops of blood are enough. Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely discover the secrets of the Dragon Devouring Body from it and create the most suitable training method for you."
Krober looked at Samuel's excitement and smiled helplessly.
Kroeber cut his finger, took the bottle handed to him by Samuel, and squeezed out three drops of blood to let them flow into the bottle.
Samuel carefully took the bottles handed to him by Kroeber and quickly placed them in a special container for preservation.
"Sir, the intelligence agency has been established. As its leader, could you please come up with a name for this organization?"
After hearing what Samuel said, Krober nodded slightly, looking thoughtful. He thought this was a good idea.
It is very important to give an intelligence agency a suitable name, which can enhance team cohesion and a sense of belonging.
Then he said to Samuel:
"Okay, I'll give it a name then!"
Krober sat at the table, took out a piece of parchment, crossed his hands under his chin, frowned slightly, stared at the paper in front of him intently, and various words and concepts kept flashing through his mind.
It is crucial to give an intelligence agency a suitable name because it will subconsciously guide the three views of these spies and detectives.
"The Secret Temple..."
Krober murmured softly, feeling that the name suited his requirements very well.
This name not only conveys their secretive nature as an intelligence agency, but also implies that their mission is to protect the security of their lord's territory and guard their lord's secrets, which is itself sacred and glorious.
Krober picked up the pen and wrote the words "Hidden Temple" on the paper, then nodded slightly, indicating that he was satisfied with his choice.
He handed the parchment to Samuel. From today on, his direct intelligence agency was officially named the Secret Temple. As Krober's most important ears, they were active in neighboring countries and various regions of the mainland.
"The Hidden Temple, secretive and glorious, sounds very inspiring. Your Excellency has chosen a good name."
Samuel also praised the name. As the founder of the Secret Temple, Samuel has always devoted himself to this organization. It is no exaggeration to say that he has worked hard.
Now this organization has been praised and recognized by the Lord, and has been named the Secret Temple, which is also a great encouragement to him.
"You... have been in the territory for a long time, and you have picked up some bad habits of flattery. This is not good, you need to change."
As for the jesters, Krober naturally enjoyed the flattery they gave him, but for a technical talent like Samuel who was devoted to academics and magic, Krober still did not want this political environment to pollute him.
Whether it is Samuel or the new magicians recruited later, Krober will never let them get too involved in politics, and let them maintain the corresponding purity and rigor.
