In the Name of Empress

Chapter 178: This Story Is So Stupid (Part 4)


Unlike the domestic edition, the overseas edition of The Sun is considerably more formal.

The political news here actually publishes current affairs with a serious tone.

After adding the preliminary task "Fishing Operation" to the "Hunting Operation," Sif talked about some other matters.

In summary, everything is progressing methodically.

There's only one problem: a lack of funds.

The hunting plan still needs some time, and already there's such a large funding gap. Where will it come from?

Sif said with some helplessness, "I've already sold off everything suitable for selling. After all, I'm the Empress, and I still need the necessary pomp and luxury items."

"I understand. You don't need to worry about the money; I'll figure something out."

Roland's words always reassured Sif. Since Roland promised, she had no reason to doubt him.

Once Sif was done talking about her matters, it was Roland's turn to tell a story.

Before Roland began, Sif calmly said, "Remember, you don't have to tell everything, but you must not lie to me."

Roland raised his hands to indicate no problem.

Fortunately, this time he indeed didn't encounter any danger, so it wasn't lying.

When he spoke about exploring White Mountain with Lisa, Sif nervously clenched her little hands.

Even though Roland was safely here, she still felt a bit of lingering fear.

"You shouldn't have gone deep into White Mountain; it's too dangerous. The giant bears and beasts may not pose a threat to you, but the strong from other nations won't be so polite."

"You're right, which is why I only stayed on the outside and didn't go deeper."

Roland calmly said, "Although Lisa felt something calling her from inside White Mountain, I still brought her out."

Sif was stunned for a few seconds, then a smile quickly spread across her dimples.

Even if it was his Sister Lisa who wanted to go, he wasn't willing to take the risk.

Good, she liked this story.

Next, Roland talked about the street conflict with Camille but didn't mention his own handling of it, just asked with a smile:

"Tell me, we can't monopolize the Magic Crystal Ore Vein of White Mountain. What's the best way to handle it?"

"I'd rather seal it up!"

Sif said decisively, "So long as we squeeze out their forces, this ore vein will belong to us!"

"Moreover, we can turn Val City into a battleground, lying in wait to ambush the enemy!"

Roland looked at Sif in surprise, his eyes filled with a hint of amazement.

He really started to believe that Sif could win.

He couldn't support her by himself; Sif had to stand up and learn to walk on her own.

Now she not only can walk but can also jog.

Seeing Roland not speaking for a while, Sif thought she might have said something wrong, but she defiantly explained:

"This is what you taught me, not to fight on the enemy's preset battlefield, to make him come to our home ground."

"That's right, exactly so."

Roland said with a smile, "You've thought it through very well. Therefore, I publicly announced the news of the Magic Crystal Ore Vein. I think it won't be long before Mr. William has another headache."

Sif smiled along.

Thinking about Mr. William getting busy again, she laughed with delight.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

Since the Prime Minister is temporarily acting on behalf of the Imperial Authority, he should naturally bear the pressure that comes with it.

After listening to the matter of White Mountain, Sif said with some regret, "Miss Lisa is a Transcendent; her intuition should be very accurate. It's a pity we couldn't explore inside White Mountain."

"No, there's an opportunity. We'll go together."

Sif's eyes brightened up.

She certainly didn't want to miss the chance for adventure.

Roland brought good news.

If only there were a small gift as well.

Bad news: Roland doesn't seem to understand a girl's thoughts.

Good news: He doesn't understand anyone's thoughts.
