In fact, Luo Er's random thoughts are not very different from the truth behind it? There are just a few minor deviations in the details.
The Speaker did not lie to him. He indeed heard about Rolle's situation from the butler Odo. Combined with some known things, he concluded that Mr. Rolle is an enigmatic and top-notch powerful man.
By!
The Speaker was not affected by the rumors that had been passed on countless times and became increasingly outrageous, as Rohr had imagined. He only listened to the butler's statement.
However, taking into account the experience and knowledge of Mr. Butler, as well as his rich imagination, the final conclusion that the Speaker heard was not much better than the wild rumors, and was even more exaggerated and excessive...
"Mr. Rohr is the most powerful transcendent person I have ever seen. His unfathomable strength, even if I try my best to look up to him, is hard to match..."
"He is also a smart wise man. His layout is traceless. Every move has a profound meaning behind it, which is implicated in many changes in the situation..."
"He has no hostility to the empire, and has secretly helped solve a lot of troubles, including the last explosion of the Tower of Truth. Mr. Rohr also helped you in the competition between the Scholars Association. He placed the Scholars Association under house arrest.
I am very angry about Miss Keli..."
"At the same time, her daughter, Miss Keli, is also a rising star in the empire, and she and His Highness Anya are very good friends, and they maintain the most innocent friendship with each other..."
"So the cooperation between you two is reasonable and reasonable in my opinion..."
"What's even more valuable is that Mr. Rolle is an affable, gentle and generous person who is easy to get along with. He has been out of vulgar taste and does not have any bad habits..."
"I felt like spring breeze getting along with him and learned a lot from him."
The butler at that time boasted nonsense in front of the Speaker, almost describing Rolle as an unparalleled saint.
And after he finished speaking, he showed a look of relaxation and relief, the kind of look he would show after he confided all the secrets he had kept deep in his heart for many years.
In fact, he had hesitated for a long time whether to report Rohr's matter to the Speaker.
He has always firmly believed that the reason why Rohr kept such a low profile was to fulfill the price of using the holy object. If his situation was rashly made public, it would probably lead to him being unable to fulfill the price and being severely classified as a holy object.
This kind of price that must be kept low-key is not uncommon among a large number of holy objects. The housekeeper alone knows that there are several holy objects with such a price.
Tragedies such as being interfered by others and being unable to fulfill the price, leading to backlash, also happen from time to time.
That's why the housekeeper firmly kept Luo Er's secret secret.
But the situation is different now. The empire has suffered heavy losses, more than half of the demigods of the Scholars Association have fallen, and the extraordinary ones have suffered heavy casualties, falling into the weakest period in the past century.
Similarly, the empire has also entered a relatively dangerous period. If those level 0 sacred objects were not still intact, I am afraid that it would have faced a major crisis of annihilation.
In this period of internal and external troubles, a strong man needs to stand up. This is also a perfect opportunity for him to stand up, so the housekeeper wants to recommend Rohr to the Speaker.
But this strong man must keep a low profile to fulfill the price, which seems to be a contradiction?
Until he heard that the Speaker was considering how to deal with the weak Scholars Association, he suddenly remembered the Gray Ghost, a secret organization that was about to withdraw from the stage of history.
This is simply a position tailor-made for Mr. Rolle!
So he went to the Speaker, told the whole story above, and specifically told Rohr that he might have to keep a low profile to fulfill the price, and asked the Speaker to help keep it secret.
So he didn't dare to appear in front of Rohr today.
The Speaker did not believe everything the butler said from the beginning. Although he did trust this old subordinate who had been following him for many years, his description was too exaggerated.
But as his people took advantage of the paralysis of the Scholars Association to secretly bring back some absolutely confidential information that even he didn't know about, especially Cases No. 12 and No. 13, the Speaker changed his mind.
After reading these top-secret information, the Speaker finally solved his previous doubts and understood why scholars would show such great kindness to a country pheasant organization like the Restoration Sect.
This is a major case involving a god, and the Restoration Sect is an organization protected by gods!
According to the butler, this Mr. Rolle is closely related to Case No. 12 and the related Restoration Sect!
He did appear in the Valley of Plenty at that time in the name of visiting his daughter. This is corroborated by the historian Professor Kant.
In the recent attack on the Imperial Capital, according to his daughter, Keli, and the saint from the Restoration Sect, the powerful Mr. Rohr also played a crucial role.
He is indeed very strong, incredibly strong.
Therefore, the Speaker believed what the steward said, and after careful consideration and discussion and evaluation with other staff around him, he sent a sincere invitation to Rohr.
The empire needs more strong people to protect it, and the behemoth Society of Scholars also needs more checks and balances. The revival of the Gray Ghost is imperative!
And this Mr. Rohr is really the best candidate for the new Gray King!
Hence today's meeting and the low profile of Speaker Corporal Li Xian.
The so-called investiture ceremony will definitely be postponed as a result.
It's a pity that Rohr doesn't seem to have much interest in this position.
But these were all within the Speaker's expectations, and he persuaded him from another angle:
"Mr. Rohr, to be honest, the empire is in a dangerous situation now."
Then, the Speaker talked about the death of those demigods, and how the barbarians and aliens were also about to take action.
After hearing this, Luo Er's expression was a little moved.
He had actually known about the move between barbarians and foreigners.
A few days ago, in the midst of his busy schedule, Captain Jin found him and told him that barbarians and foreigners were frantically sending spies to the imperial capital to carry out sabotage activities. He hoped that he would pay special attention to this when patrolling with volunteers.
Rolle naturally agreed, but during his patrols in the next few days, he didn't meet any spy who didn't look like a good person.
However, there was a theft at the Third Pharmaceutical Factory. It seemed that someone wanted to steal the formula of the doctor's new drug, but the military personnel who had ambushed there in advance killed them in time.
It can be seen from this that the empire is really in a dangerous period of internal and external troubles.
The Speaker keenly noticed the change in Rohr's expression, and quickly struck while the iron was hot:
"I can assure you that the Gray Ghost led by you will not be affiliated with any organization. It only needs to be responsible to the House of Representatives. You have a very broad space for activities."
After hearing this, Luo Er couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and started tapping the back of his left hand with his right hand.
He is used to being the village chief in a small mountain village, and he always says the same thing. He really doesn't like people pointing fingers at him.
The Speaker captured this detail again and felt slightly happy.
It seems that Odo's observation of Mr. Rolle is very accurate. A strong man like him really doesn't like to be governed by others.
As for the possible adverse consequences of such delegation of power, the Speaker is actually not too worried.
If you want to constrain and control an organization, you don't need subordination and orders. There are many other means.
If the gray ghost becomes bigger and bigger in the future, then scholars will most likely revive again.
Checks and balances are one of his most important responsibilities as the speaker of the House of Representatives. He must let the House of Representatives, the Scholars Association, the military, and the Gray Ghost that is about to be revived find a balance point among the contradictions, so that the entire empire can be healthy and prosperous.
The sequence of development continues.
At this point, the Speaker felt that he did not need to say anything more. He believed that Mr. Rolle would be able to make the wisest choice with his wisdom.
So the high-end black steam car also stopped on the side of the road.
Luo Er understood what the other party meant, put down the tea cup in his hand, and prepared to get out of the car.
"I'll think about it carefully."
The Speaker nodded and said:
"Mr. Odo will communicate your decision at any time."
"I believe we will meet again soon."
The speaker's words were very certain, and he could see that Rohr was a little moved.
Seeing that Rohr was about to open the car door, the Speaker hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"The other thing is, I have to tell you the truth..."
"Nowadays, the empire's finances are relatively difficult, and everything is stretched thin, so your salary and treatment may not be very good. I can only try my best to ensure this amount..."
As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers, shook them, and continued:
"But I can guarantee that as long as the financial situation is relieved, I will definitely be able to pay you a salary that is consistent with your status."
Rohr couldn't help but was slightly startled. What's the number? Five? What's the unit?
Five thousand? Fifty thousand?
Can we be more unrestrained and bold, five hundred thousand?
So Luo Er sat down again, hesitated for a while, and decided to open his mouth first.
"Actually, although I am not too short of money, my hometown is a small mountain village without a name on the edge of York Town in Kodo Province. It is a place that does not even have roads, water or electricity. People living there
People are working very hard..."
The speaker immediately understood what he meant, nodded repeatedly, and said:
"That's easy to say. I happen to be attending a charity dinner tonight, and people from several charity foundations will participate. I believe they will be happy to help the people in your hometown live a prosperous and good life."
"That would be great!"
Rohr nodded with satisfaction and reached out to open the car door.
"I will seriously consider your suggestion."
After that, he got out of the car and stood on the street again, watching the high-end black steam car go away.
He quickly returned to the voluntary patrol team and asked the deputy captain, a pig butcher who worked in the meat factory, to lead the patrol on the pretext that he had something to do.
Then, he got on the little donkey that he was going to patrol with him and wandered slowly through the streets.
"Do you think I should accept it? This position is indeed very attractive. I can also help build roads in the village and fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Luo Er muttered in a low voice, as if he was asking the little donkey for his opinion.
He was really moved, and this position was extremely tempting to him.
It's not that he is greedy for power and fame. The leader of such a secret organization will probably not have much power or good reputation, and will also encounter a lot of trouble and danger.
Although he is a time traveler and does not have such a strong sense of belonging to this empire, he, his daughter, his comrades in the Swordsmen Corps, and everyone in the village live here. If the empire really encounters a crisis, he will definitely still stand.
Come out and do something.
Just so that my daughter and everyone can avoid the pain of national subjugation.
And the head of a secret agency can always do more than a temporary adviser to the military.
There is also Jeanne's sect and her daughter's future. If you have some power at hand, it is always convenient to take care of it.
In addition, by virtue of his position, he can dismantle the extraordinary system without being controlled by the Scholars Association, become an extraordinary person, and fulfill his wish more than twenty years ago.
Rolle couldn't help but feel that his ambition was burning again.
But the little donkey just rode by him silently and ignored him.
So Roll asked again:
"By the way, is the salary he offered me fifty thousand or five hundred thousand? It's really troublesome to deal with such a big shot, and I'm embarrassed to ask directly..."
"But I think it should still be 500,000, right? After all, he is the leader of an organization, and he was personally invited by the speaker. Isn't 50,000 too low a price?"
"A monthly salary of five hundred thousand is really good when you think about it. It is definitely a high income on earth."
"Sigh... I originally wanted to refuse, but he gave too much..."
The little donkey still ignored him and let him talk to himself.
Rolle was a little unhappy. He took out the wooden stick with the carrot tied to it from his left hand and dangled it in front of the little donkey.
The little donkey's head also moved left and right, trying to bite the carrot, but every time his movements were half a beat slower than Rohr's.
"Ang ang ang!"
It made a slightly dissatisfied sound.
Rohr couldn't help but smile and said:
"It seems that you also suggested that I accept it? That's right. If I had such a high monthly salary, you would be able to follow suit."
"Am I right?"
He reached out and scratched the little kitten in his pocket.
"Meow meow meow!"
The little cat meowed twice and waved its furry paws at him.
"I hope this 500,000 yuan is a monthly salary, not an annual salary."
Rolle finally whispered to himself.
But in fact, he thought wrongly. What the Speaker planned to offer him was actually an annual salary.
The unit of amount is also wrong, not 500,000.
"Mr. Rolle is indeed, as Otto said, a man who has escaped from vulgar taste. He doesn't care much about money or the treatment I propose."
"To be honest, the annual salary of 50 million is too shabby. If it wasn't to appear sincere, I would be embarrassed to say it..."
The speaker sat in the car and sighed in a low voice.
