Public trial?You deserve it too!

"From the next time you return to Brittany, you will start contacting the Chamber of Commerce. Take him with you. I hope you can give me a good answer."

Claude stood up and put away the map.

"You can have a good chat with Gorman, after all, you will need to work together for a long time in the future, and during that time, the only person you can trust is each other - so before that, I hope you two can get along first one time."

The boy packed the map, nodded to the two, and left the basement.

Charles turned his head to look at Gorman, and stretched out his hand.

"Perhaps I should introduce myself in detail? I'm Charles... Well, although I hate that last name, but obviously I still need it now, Charles Breton, a man who wants to send his family to the gallows illegitimate child."

"Gorman Meyer is just a soldier who obeys orders."

The fat man replied simply.

"In addition, due to the confidentiality of my identity, I will change my name to Herman in the future. You can call me Herman or Iron Man Herman."

"Is that your nickname?"

"Ten years ago... no, the nickname was 12 years ago."

Gorman sat down and looked at Charles.

"According to my lord's orders, I am in the process of losing weight and reshaping. I need you to tell me the detailed task start time, so that I can restore my body shape to its previous state before leaving the imperial capital with you."

"At least wait here for the end of the nobles' annual meeting, I think... about two months."

Charles looked at the other person's figure with a delicate expression.

"Can you make it in time?"

"Time is enough."

Gorman nodded.

"By the way, why do you want to change your name and lose weight?"

Charles was a little curious.

"It's the easiest way for a person to change identities in order to make me look like someone else."

Gorman explained.

"Because of the relationship between the Theocracy and the Merchant Alliance, I have to hide my identity, so it is necessary to cut off the flesh on my body, and then put on a suit of armor, so that no one can recognize me."

"That was really a challenging process." Charles nodded with a little respect, "My father has been talking about losing weight for more than ten years, but from now on, I feel that he seems to be losing weight again. Fat."

"It's nothing, just stick to it."

Gorman shook his head. What he had experienced was far more torturous than losing weight.

"You said to change back to your previous appearance, weren't you fat before?"

Ciel remembered what the other party said before.

"No, it's just that I crazily eat, sleep, eat, sleep, and make myself what I am now."

The fat man said lightly.

"Oh...uh, why?" Charles was a little curious, "You can lose weight, which proves that you are determined, and it doesn't look like you will indulge yourself."

"No, it's just because the fat man looks more harmless to humans and animals, and - my identity is the logistics supervisor. If a fat man is the supervisor, it means that this person likes to guard and steal, and it will make people relax their vigilance."

Gorman lowered his head. Under the dim candlelight, Charles couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but he seemed to realize that he had brought up something that the other party was unhappy about.

The scene fell silent.

"I remember, you have a fiancée, don't you?"

"Well, yes."

"civilian."

"Yes."

"Then I suggest that you hold a secret wedding before you leave the imperial capital. It is best that only your family members know about it, not even Friedrich—because once the news of you marrying a commoner spreads, no one will marry you." would believe that you are really interested in the seat of the Grand Duke of Brittany."

Gorman offers his own advice.

"I can understand that intermarrying with civilians will indeed lose the right of inheritance, but why?"

Charles was a little puzzled.

"Because no one knows what their future destiny is, live in the present, this is the only advice I can give you, who became the subordinate of an adult before you."

Gorman stood up and headed for the stairs.

"Don't tell your fiancée something like 'We'll get married when I come back next time'—because no one knows when I can go back next time, or even if I can go back."

The fat man's heavy footsteps disappeared at the door, leaving only Charles still thinking about what the other party said.

-------------------------------------------------- -

Pop, pop, pop.

Slow applause stopped Gorman in his tracks.

"Great job, Mr. Gorman, let Shire leave more concerns in the imperial capital, make this hostage more important, and also ensure that the other party will not be really fascinated by power and wealth after entering the enemy's camp." Close his eyes and help him establish an original aspiration that can be maintained—even if I am, I can’t do better.”

"Thank you, after all, as you said, you gave me a deal that I couldn't refuse, so I want to take the initiative to add a little insurance."

Gorman had no expression on his face.

"I haven't won an award, I'm just a little curious, can a logistics supervisor really do this?"

Claude turned around from the wall leisurely.

"What do you want to say?"

Gorman's voice remained unchanged.

"I want to say - you are really doing a good job of relying on truth and falsehood. If I hadn't obtained such information, I probably wouldn't have thought of it."

The boy gently handed over a piece of paper.

The first sentence above is——

Galapash had arranged for his brother Gorman to enter the army and become the logistics director under his account.

Gorman closed his eyes and swayed before standing still.

"When...when did you start getting suspicious?"

"From the beginning—the soldiers of Wallachia have been too loyal to you."

Claude said lightly.

"You know, all the things you did in Provence sounded like a narrow escape, but all the knights you commanded did it without complaint, whether it was following me to kill the knights of the empire, or After killing the people of the Church, and finally serving the Empire, they have nothing to say about your arrangements, and they are all [-]% complete—is this something that a logistics director can do?"

"Not to mention, when Adelin showed up with Princess Lina, the knights under your command did not show any fanatical loyalty to Her Highness Lina-this can only show that there are people who are worthy of their followers. Didn't die, did he?"

Gorman pursed his lips: "But, didn't Adelin recognize me? You were there at the time, weren't you?"

"Yes, I have to admit that it really confused me, but when I returned to the imperial capital and saw this piece of information, I realized - fat and thin are very good substitutes for a pair of brothers , isn't it?"

Claude laughed.

The fat man was silent, and finally, he nodded.

"I really didn't expect that at such a young age, you are actually a senior member of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and your strength is so terrifying that even a country that has been destroyed for more than ten years can find out these secrets."

"It's really not easy, but with the tiger skin of His Royal Highness Ludwig, I can still do some things."

Claude pulled the piece of paper into a ball and set it on fire out of thin air.

"Don't worry about what conditions I will put forward. Whether it is Gorman, Herman, or Galapash, they are just names, and these are not important. Because the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has never Demanding, apart from our loyalty to His Majesty, anyone else's loyalty - we only believe in the exchange of interests. A win-win deal is the prerequisite for the so-called 'loyalty'."

Learn from Me: Chapter 175 Chapter 160 Social Terrorist

Of course, Claude can't be a high-level executive of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

The way he obtained information was as he said - Ludwig's status as a prince helped a lot.

After Siegfried entered the manor that night, he sent Ludwig a lot of information about Lina and Wallachia, but the third prince is not the kind of person who likes to delve into it, so he let go of these things to Jung.

Jung was still a little concerned. After all, under his management, Ludwig's power was considered monolithic. He suddenly joined a group of non-imperial people, so he felt it was necessary to check, but it was not necessary. Meticulous so as not to chill the other party's heart - after all, a person who can stay silent in a foreign country for ten years for revenge is not so easy to be bribed.

Therefore, Jung did not pay much attention to this matter, and he was not prepared to do it himself, so it was logical that this matter fell to the person who was in charge of commanding this Wallachia knight army at that time——all the information was collected. Jung packed it up and gave it to Claude, which can be regarded as an experience for young people.

In addition, since the incident in Provence, Christina has paid more attention to her guardian knight lady. Claude just mentioned it a little, and the enthusiastic princess went to beg her grandfather, hoping to get the Imperial Intelligence Bureau to provide more. Information about Wallachia.

As a result, the Eastern Expedition Office of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, which had already fallen into a state of retirement, immediately began to spin like a donkey with its tail burned, cleaning up all the information about Wallachia in the past 50 years, and everything that has been proven to be reliable All the information was sent to the Ludwig Manor.

Claude got this piece of paper very early, and after discovering the clues and conducting detailed verification, he finally confirmed that Galapash used his brother as a cover to live to this day under the name of Gorman-this Only then can he explain why he fought a devastating battle to defend the city in the end, because it was not he who was in charge of commanding, but his elder brother, and it was naturally his credit that the Wallachians were able to preserve this force.

So the question before Claude at that time was, when should he test and expose the identity of the general—until now, when he needed a full-strength talent to help him carry out the plan to lure the merchant alliance ashore, he Only finally decided to showdown with the opponent

Because this plan is too important, it is directly related to whether Claude can take the initiative when the empire faces Theocracy in the future.

As he said, the most suitable person should be himself, but as a person who has already put himself on the foreground, Claude has no time to do this kind of thing now.Rather than cutting off the promotion path that he has worked so hard to pave for now, Claude would rather continue on his own, at worst, he will see the tricks later, after all, his status is the last word.

Besides himself, the person Claude gave the highest evaluation was His Majesty the Emperor, Jung, and then Gorman, or Galapash.

So Claude now needs someone, someone smart enough to take charge of this plan, and his previous temptation to Gorman also satisfied him——

This person still has the existence of desire, he is eager to return to the country.

Since there is desire, then everything is easy to handle.

Claude and Gorman looked at each other calmly.

Finally, the fat man nodded slowly.

"You are right, my lord, the name is not important. As long as I know who I am and what abilities I have, that's enough."

"So, I suppose our deal is established?"

Claude held out his hand.

Gorman did not hold the boy's hand, but bent his spine, knelt down on one knee, and lowered his head respectfully.

"Yes, my lord—I have already missed an opportunity to trade with you. This time, no matter what the result is, I will firmly grasp it."

His voice trembled a little.

"Just please... keep the promise you gave me."

-------------------------------------------------- -

For many students, the three-day period is just a holiday, but for some of them, their original destiny has already turned a corner here, and they are heading towards an unknown direction all the way.

But no matter what the future holds, at least they cannot be absent from this academy experience summary.

Claude's 107th team won No.1 without any suspense, and No.2 was Gustav's team. Although they failed to get the same credit as Claude in the final battle, they still won the championship all the way. Playing the whole game, or returning with a full team, naturally the score will not be low-especially after Manfred's team is completely wiped out.Moreover, Manfred himself has not yet returned to the imperial capital, and he is probably still frantically hunting business alliances and orcs.

Charles got what he wanted. Although he abandoned his team, his individual score still got a middling score, which was better than he had expected.

It's just that he didn't show much joy on his face, because he probably won't have the chance to go back to college next time.

Randolph and Georgie are both very interested, and they have both received the rank of captain of the empire, which means that even if they can only pass the internship in the future, they will be one of the twelve knights who will graduate in the future— —The royal family will give the best graduates the title of knight and the rank of major in the empire, which means that they can directly skip the previous qualifications and directly enter the real officer class.

But Claude's mind is not here. After all, he already has a knight order sent by the old emperor, so the university is purely a play for him. The main reason why he came here is another person.

"Hello, Knight Gustav."

Claude smiled and waved.

"Hello, Knight Claude."

The other party's face was a little touched, obviously suppressing his expression, making his voice sound more like a polite greeting.

[The other party is still thinking about keeping a distance from you on the bright side. 】

"Aojiao has already retired from the environment, let me help him - after all, he is someone who has played cards together, and I will bring him a smile." '

Claude extended his hand to invite.

"Well, can we talk in private?"

Gustav hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, talked to his teammates, and walked to a secluded corner with Claude.

"Excuse me, what's the matter for you to come to me?" The other party looked around, and his voice was no longer so cold, "My father and elder brother are still serving His Highness Augustus after all, if someone sees me dating you If it is too dense, it will have a somewhat bad influence on them."

"Well, it seems that you have a very good relationship with that brother of yours, Gustav, but there are quite a few completely different opinions from the outside world."

Claude looked thoughtful.
