Vol 9 Chapter 23: Mersis's Last Will

Daves listened carefully, and finally nodded, "At the next executive meeting, what you say will become an important basis for tax rate discussions."
"What else are you talking about ... Your Majesty, you just set it straight." Mersis muttered.
Daves never heard of him. After seeing him say that, his spirit became even more debilitating, so he said with concern: "Have a good rest, I will visit you next time!"
"Your Majesty, don't you stay a little longer ?! The next time you come ... I'm afraid you won't see me ..." Melsis muttered in a low tone.
When Davers heard this, his heart was sore, and just trying to comfort him, he listened to Melsis softly and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the first time we met? ... You just invented it at that time Smoked sausage temporarily solved the problem of mercenary's rations storage ... I knew it immediately and asked Menon to put you in my heavy team ... I still remember that night you told us the story of the treasure ... Yes Your help, that was the easiest time for me to march in Persia ... I vaguely felt that you would be an amazing figure ... so when Menon and you clashed, I stood firmly with you On this side ...
Now prove how right my choice is! ... How lucky I am that a small bankrupt businessman from Ionian turned out to be the finance minister of the most powerful kingdom of the Western Mediterranean, holding tens of thousands of fortunes! I have no regrets anymore ... "
After listening to Mercys's words, Davers didn't know what to say for a moment, and reluctantly said, "In fact, you're wrong. Before I was transferred to the heavy team, you saw me once ... … At that time, I took a walk to Yingzhong camp, but you met him. You suspect that I wanted to steal food because of hunger, and specifically asked the guards to drive me away. "
"I still don't remember it at all!" Melsis opened his eyes in surprise and laughed: "Unfortunately I don't know now, otherwise I would often brag about Antonios and Hilos ... Say I'm the only one who reprimanded Your Majesty! "
"I just remember it now, otherwise you would have been so easy under my hands in the past ten years?" Dafus also joked with a smile.
连 Even the serious Maltius smiled.
Herniblis, aside, listened to them telling the past, and from this laughter, she felt a deep friendship with each other and could not help feeling envious and yearning.
His Majesty "Her Majesty." The smile on Mersis's face had not faded, and he said in a deep voice, "After I die, I will donate most of my property to the kingdom ..."
哦 "Oh, you are so reluctant to be a ghost!" Dafus shouted with a smile, thinking he was joking.
"I'm serious, this is my will! I will donate 80% of my estate to the kingdom, leaving only 20% to support my family!"
Daves saw Mercys serious expression, and immediately converged with a smile, and she asked in a deep voice: "You really want to ?!"
"I have no children, what can't bear it ..." Mersis murmured, a little lost: "The Kingdom of Dionysian was built by your Majesty, you worked hard, and it can be considered ours. child……"
Daves was very moved when he heard this. He sat by the bed, patted Meliss' swollen hand, and said emotionally, "I thank you for your generosity on behalf of the Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, I donate this money ... Can I get a statue for me ... into the Pantheon ..." Melsis then made Dafoss froze, and then suddenly laughed: This is Melsis True colors!
Daves subconsciously wanted to reprimand him first: the qualification to enter the Pantheon is not a commodity, and can be bargained! ...
But seeing Melsith's pale face and Greek wing's eyes, Davers softened his heart and said directly: "Even if you don't donate these properties, the great contribution you have made to the kingdom in the past will make you uncontested. Have the qualification to enter the Pantheon. Not only that, I also plan to set up your statue in front of the Finance Department, so that future Finance Department officials will use you as an example, and we must regret every Opole in the kingdom, and we must not waste it. , Let alone corruption! "
陛 "Thank Your Majesty ... Thank Your Majesty ..." At that moment, murky tears flowed from the eyes of Mersis's godlessness ...
Out of Meltis's mansion, Davers couldn't help but stop and look back, remembering Cornellus, who died a few years ago, and thinking of Meliss who would go to Elysee at any time, his mood was very heavy: The heroes who created Dionia together are gradually entering the end of life ...
正 He was thinking, and when he looked back at Maltius who was standing upright, his gray beard showed his age, and he even sighed: "Maltius, you are old ..."
"Your Majesty, I can still easily defeat the young guards! I can still serve as your guard!" Martius answered strongly.
"Okay ... okay ..." Davos touched his beard subconsciously, and then said to Hippopolis, "Did you remember what I said to Melsis just now?"
Hannipolis replied immediately: "Remember, let Lord Mersis enter the Pantheon and erect a statue for him in the Finance Department."
"Well, go back and draft a proposal and discuss it in the next executive meeting as soon as possible ... I'm afraid Mersis can't hold it for long ..." Dafus sighed.
Hmm ... ………………………………
In these days, a rumor suddenly appeared in Turui: the Etruscan envoy asked the kingdom for help, and in view of the frequent attacks by indigenous people on the border of southern Iberia, King Daphs was ready to agree with the ministers' proposals and send them One or two legions traveled to the southern border of Iberia and the northern border of Etruria to build fortresses to protect them from the attacks of indigenous people. According to the Ministry of Military Affairs, each legionary soldier must be at the station for at least six months ...
消息 The news quickly spread throughout the city of Turui, and soon spread to other cities. The officers, soldiers, reserve soldiers, and their families and relatives of the various legions are discussing this matter every day. You must know that they have a large proportion of the Kingdom's population, which naturally has caused a huge nationwide Waves.
It didn't take long for news to come: those defensive fortresses would be built at the forefront of the border. There would be no town bazaars around, only indigenous people who were constantly coming in. For the safety of the soldiers, the garrison might not consider They take vacations, let them go to the town in the back to relax and even go home to visit relatives ...
When this news came out, it also disturbed the citizens of the legionnaires. Many anxious militias gathered and went to their respective barracks. They asked the senior officers stationed in the barracks for detailed information and said: "We are not afraid Fight against powerful enemies, even if they bleed, or even give their lives; but we are afraid to be trapped in fortresses like criminals, without freedom for more than half a year, and unable to take care of our family at all ... "
Some radical Turui citizens even gathered to the Senate and asked the elders: I hope they can oppose this proposal and not let it pass.
Many veterans were puzzled and asked the rotating chairmen: "Is there really such a proposal?"
Lucia they said in a unified tone: "There is indeed a minister who made this proposal, but Her Majesty did not immediately agree, and is still considering this matter carefully."
While the outside world was making a lot of noises, Daphs sat firmly in the office of the Royal Palace. After listening to Aristilas' investigation report on the entire situation, he thought for a while and said, "Now the water has boiled. Now, let ’s put something in first and see if we can cook something good. "
"Yes, Your Majesty," Aristilas understood.
"Any other news?"
"Your Majesty, we have collected the evidence of Servius, Frius, Oulus ... these former Roman nobles attempted to commit rebellion." Aristilas said, handing a stack of records respectfully. Passed.
After Davis read it carefully, he said lightly: "There are still a lot of people. While the people's attention is focused on the dispatch of the border army, these evidences and lists are transferred to the Turui inspection department. Let them be in charge ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Yes. "Aristinas hesitated, then said," His Majesty, Iberia sent a secret report, Hasdruba and a few Magonides. Members often party together, drink heavily, and abuse the kingdom ... "
Daves didn't frown, and asked, "Is there anything else suspicious?"
"Nothing found for now."
"Dissatisfaction is vented to the face, it looks better than the surface, and secretly has a plot to be stronger." Dafus said disapprovingly: "Keep watching."
"Yes."
At this moment, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Knocked on the door.
"Come in!" As soon as Daphs's voice fell, Aristilas naturally retreated into the corner.
His Majesty, "Her Majesty, Pleasant Priest Sees!" Hannipolis came in and said.
"Please come in."
Plessinas was not alone, and behind him were two priests, each holding a few planks.
"Your Majesty, the design selection of the Colossus of the Peak is over. We have brought the works of the winners. Please make your final judgment and choose which design to cast the Mountaintop Idol."
"The result came out so soon ?!" Davers became interested and said immediately: "Put them on the table, let's watch them slowly."
Yu Guang glanced at Hippolis next to his neck and drew this side. Daphs beckoned to the left and right again, and said, "You two also come over and give some advice."
Hippopolis and Aristilas came together immediately.
