Ellie's face showed a hint of joy: "Madam, it's the mayors of various towns who are here to inquire about the magic circle of their territory."
Chi Sui nodded, but even though he nodded, he still didn't quite understand.
After sitting at the dining table and waiting for a long time, Ole finally dealt with those people, wiped the sweat from his head, and walked in.
Seeing that his expression was a little ugly, Chi Sui asked, "What's wrong?"

Chi Sui frowned, recalling what Ole had said before. "The biweekly meeting you mentioned, is it the kind where all the mayors of the territory gather in the lord's castle to discuss and report on things?"
