"I see……"

When Ryan tried to tell his father about the current situation of Crossbell in a streamlined language, the opponent fell into a brief silence, probably measuring gains and losses.

"Well... In this way, I'll leave this matter to you to take charge. You just need to tell me the answer after you think it clearly. Just treat it as giving you a long-lost 'project'."

Duke Kane's words made Ryan stunned. When he was a child, his father would often give him some topics that he needed to actually operate after class. This term made him feel a little nostalgic.

After coming back to his senses, Ryan asked uncertainly, "Father, is this really good? The autonomous state of Closebell is very important to the empire, right? Are you not going to have an interview with Mayor McDowell in person?"

"Of course it's important." Duke Kane said solemnly. "Closebel's annual tax revenue is basically the same as that of the imperial capital Heimdal. 10% of it will be handed over to our Empire and the Kalwad Republic. That's not a small amount."

"However, compared to the issue of worrying about the entire empire, Crossbeer can only be regarded as a piece of information after all. I can't pull myself away and go to the autonomous prefecture now. This matter will be left to you who are in the local area to judge."

"I will say hello to the people below. Once you decide to reach an agreement with Mayor McDowell, Ordis will quickly cooperate with you to make a series of actions."

Duke Kane finally gave a serious remark, "Reinhardt, you have grown up and become a man. I hope you can gradually see the situation around the empire and even the entire continent in your judgment of the situation of Closebell, and don't let me down."

"Dou~"

After the communication was cut off, Ryan leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the ceiling and frowned.

"Is the situation in Ereponia really serious? It seems that I have to go and learn about it carefully during my special internship in April."

In the deal with Mayor McDowell, his father gave him great autonomy, and it can basically be said that he gave the decision completely to him.

Judging from the current situation, the re-election of Mayor McDowell has a high chance of affecting the future political trend of Kezhou.

If the old mayor is lost, the imperialists and the Republican politicians will attack each other more unscrupulously in Kezhou. They can guess the future political situation with their knees and find great turmoil.

From Ryan's perspective, Closbeer is of course the best to maintain the status quo. Although there are many dark sides in the current state of Kezhou, it is still stable on the surface and always conscientiously assumes the role of the buffer zones of Ereponia and Kalwade.

If Close Bale falls into chaos again, the two countries will inevitably step up their efforts to penetrate the autonomous state. Once the balance is broken, it will be difficult to return to its previous stable state.

But this autonomous prefecture is a piece of fat that no one can bear. Maybe Ereponia and Kalwade will fight directly over the battle for Closebell.

"The mayoral election will be in late May. In order to give Mayor McDowell and the Duke's House enough time to operate, it is best to make a decision within this month... Let's wait until the anniversary of the establishment."

On the third day of the founding anniversary, Scott is the person on the guerrilla association's resignation today. He and his fiancee Parr, who had not met for a long time, had already made an appointment to spend this rare holiday together.

Today, Ryan's mission is relatively easy, and the mission goals are basically in the city.

Relatively speaking, the secret service was more difficult. Teo said early in the morning that they were going to the Mainz Mine to clear the waste mine.

"Uh... Come on, work hard, come to my house for dinner today after you finish your work."

Because the Support Department has an old-style tube building, four members usually take turns to cook. The four of them gradually established a deep bond through the years of time and night, and their cooperation with each other became more and more tacit.

Tio sighed at Enigma, "I can't say whether I can go back to the city for dinner in the evening. After the waste mine is cleaned up, we have to rush to the private land of Almolika Road to help the villagers clean up the monsters."

"Jona bowed to me this morning and asked me to help him catch the 'kitten' on the Internet. He always felt that today would be busier than yesterday..."

"Kitten? By the way, Tio, don't you know the kitten's identity? Why don't you tell Jona directly?"

"Haha~" Tio's emotionless laughter came from the opposite side, "Why should I tell him? Besides, Jonah offered to provide us with some important information as compensation, so let's play with him."

"Why……"

Ryan smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, just don't go too far. I'm starting to sympathize with that little yellow-haired guy now."

After hanging up the communication with Teo, Ryan walked towards the Rainbow Theatre on Happy Street. The first commission today was sent by Lisha, which was to investigate and follow the criminal...

When Ryan explained his purpose to the troupe manager who was guarding the gate, he finally came to the stage of the Rainbow Theater openly through the unmanned theater for the first time.

"Hmph!"

Ilia Pilatey looked at Ryan with a sharp look and said with a slight threatening look, "You dare to appear in front of me, honestly tell me! What did you do to Lisha last night? Why did she always feel absent-minded when she was training this morning?"

"ha?"

Ryan looked at Lixia who was a little cramped beside Ilia, and spread her hands with an innocent look on her face and said, "I swear to the goddess of sky, I did nothing. As for Lixia's attitude... maybe she is shy."

"oh?"

Ilia circled Ryan several times, "Yeah... she looks pretty qualified, she has a good reputation in Closebell. You can barely pass the test."

"But you are still too young to abduct core members from our Rainbow Theater Troupe! Let's talk about it after another ten years!"

"No...I'm not here today to take Lixia away."

Ryan explained with a weak look on his face, "I came to find out the situation after receiving the investigation commission from Lixia..."

"ah……"

The troupe leader and Lixia were both stunned at the same time, and then the troupe leader said with an awkward look, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about the serious business by being talked about by Ilia."

"Ha? What's going on?" Ilia was obviously ignorant of the commission. Her puzzled eyes glanced back and forth on Lixia and the troupe leader's face.

Lixia smiled helplessly and said, "Miss Yiliya, didn't you say yesterday that you felt someone was following me? I decided to entrust Lane to investigate after discussing with the Yabang Opera Troupe Leader."

"ah……"

Iriya then hit her palm and suddenly said, "Are you just a passionate fan? Anyway, it has not had any substantial impact on me, let him go."

"But..." Ilia said with some uncertainty, "After getting up this morning, I found that the things at home seemed to have changed positions. Only Lixia, you have the spare key. Have you come to my house yesterday to help organize it?"

Lixia and the troupe leader were stunned at the same time. After seeing Lixia shaking her head muffled, Yabang troupe leader hugged her head exaggeratedly and shouted, "The stalkers have broken into your house, you are still so careless and unconscious!"
