Chapter 797 Egg
[Eyes that pry into secrets! ]
As the mantra was activated, without much surprise, a virtual interface quickly unfolded in front of the five bird eggs...
Name: Giant Eagle Egg Life Level: Exotic Beast
Introduction: The eggs laid by the special beast Giant Eagle were later raised and domesticated by the elves and used as mounts for Giant Eagle Knights.
Looking at this virtual interface, Zhou Xu blinked twice.
He obviously didn't expect that this simple introduction would reveal such information! [Giant Eagle Knight? A mount raised by the elves?]
As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu's thoughts spread habitually.
"Silk, are there any tamed mounts in the wood elf village?"
Although he was curious as to why His Majesty asked this question, Silk simply shook his head.
"No, wood elves usually move around on their legs. In such a complex forest environment, ordinary mounts are simply useless."
[Silk and his team basically went around the entire forest, so there shouldn't be anything they missed.]
[The wood elves don't have tamed mounts, but there happen to be giant eagle nests on the top of the mountains around their territory. Is this a coincidence? ]
It was obvious that he could not come up with a conclusion to this problem just by thinking about it this way.
The question now is whether he should tell the wood elves about the giant eagle and the five giant eagle eggs.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xu quickly made a decision not to tell the wood elf.
Although they have now formed an alliance with the Wood Elves, they are not yet a family after all. In this case, allowing the Wood Elves to obtain air combat units may not be a good thing for them.
[Let’s see if these five giant eagle eggs can hatch first, as for the subsequent taming…]
The biggest difficulty in taming a giant eagle is undoubtedly that the giant eagle can fly, and it may fly away if you are not careful, and then all their efforts will be in vain.
However, Zhou Xu did have no idea about this matter.
Don't forget, the lizardmen are pterosaur riders. Although pterosaurs and giant eagles are two completely different creatures, they are both flying mounts. There must be something in common in their taming methods.
Needless to say, Zhou Xu planned to send a few people to the Lizardmen to learn from them first.
Even if all five giant eagle eggs were successfully hatched and grew up healthily, they would not be of much use. The more important thing later on was to let them continue to reproduce.
He'll just deal with this matter first and talk about it later.
At that time, if the wood elves surrendered to their Great Zhou, he would directly use the ready-made giant eagles to form a giant eagle knight force.
On the other hand, if the wood elves had not surrendered to their Great Zhou, the giant eagle would still be in his hands, and he could also consider letting Silk and others take over to see if they could upgrade the elf knights to giant eagle knights. If all else fails, he could try to find human riders, which is not impossible. In any case, he would not lose out.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Xu quickly ordered people to properly place the five giant eagle eggs. At the same time, he sent people to the lizardman tribe to seek advice from the pterosaur trainer.
After arranging this matter, Zhou Xu, who had just returned to the palace, is now gradually getting into work mode.
Well, I was too lazy to rest and just asked someone to call Ye Jinghong over.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Jinghong, thank you for your hard work as a member of the delegation visiting the Wood Elf Village for exchanges."
"It is my duty to share your worries, Your Majesty."
Ye Jinghong looked respectful, not feeling the slightest bit dissatisfied with the days of running around.
Ye Jinghong and he were both action-oriented people who always prioritized efficiency in doing things, so after Zhou Xu briefly praised him, he quickly got to the point.
"Ye Jinghong listened to the seal."
"I'm here!"
"Today I officially appoint you as the Director of the Audit Department, and you will take office immediately!"
"I obey your orders!"
The Inspection Department was a special department that Zhou Xu had ordered Ye Jinghong to set up a long time ago.
However, before, the Inspection Bureau was just a name and was not officially established, and its scope of activities had always been in the Old Continent.
It was not until last year that he transferred Ye Jinghong here, and at the same time, the scope of the Inspection Department's authority covered an entire new continent! The current work of the Inspection Department is very simple, that is, to investigate court officials.
Last year, Zhou Xu had actually asked Ye Jinghong to bring some of his trusted men to Xianyang City, but they never showed up, so he asked them to conduct a secret investigation on the officials in Xianyang City.
The group of officials who were demoted before were all found out by Ye Jinghong and his team.
Originally, after demoting that group of officials, Zhou Xu should have formally established the Inspection Department. However, because of the exchange visit from the wood elves, Zhou Xu let Ye Jinghong go along as he was the only person other than himself who possessed the "Eyes of Secrets".
The result is that this matter has been delayed until now.
However, the impact was not that great. The last group of officials being demoted was equivalent to a wake-up call to the rest of the people. In the following period of time, they became more diligent and honest than each other.
Even if Ye Jinghong stayed here, he probably wouldn't be able to find out anything.
In any case, their Great Zhou's Inspection Department is officially established from today.
Although the main task of the Inspection Bureau at this stage is just to investigate court officials, Zhou Xu's expectations for the Inspection Bureau are obviously more than that.
In the future, he also plans to add intelligence work to the Inspection Department.
There is more than one country like theirs in the world, and he cannot just start a war and annex every time he sees a country. This would easily leave hidden dangers within himself and would be detrimental to his reputation.
Under this premise, the existence of spies becomes very important.
A reliable spy can enable him to quickly understand the other side's situation.
If the emperor of the opposing country is incompetent and the people are living in poverty, he can directly send troops on the pretext of rescuing the people.
On the contrary, if the emperor of the opposing country performs well and the people's lives are also okay, then he will have to change his strategy and take it step by step.
The establishment of the Inspection Department at this time solved one of Zhou Xu's worries.
As the newly appointed director, Ye Jinghong would undoubtedly be busy, so he took his leave first.
As for Zhou Xu, he was busy dealing with the documents piled up on his desk.
In the blink of an eye, it was dinner time. I took a look at the documents that had not been processed yet and decided that I would have to wait until tomorrow.
Leaning back in his office chair, Zhou Xu just felt extremely tired.
He worked at full speed all the way and immediately threw himself into government work as soon as he came back from outside. There are really few people more diligent than him.
[I won’t study the truth today. I’d better go to bed early. I’ll study it in a few days after I’ve rested enough.]
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Silk walked in with a subtle look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the three ladies are asking questions again."
