Since she decided to follow Ogua, Ling's official identity has become a member of the imperial government. Ling bought her own residence and her office in the imperial capital Heimdall, but she rarely goes there, to be precise.
, I rarely go there to work "in person".
Although Ling can't use the exquisite clone technique like Levi or Lisha, she can rub puppets. As the strongest puppet maker on the continent of Samlia besides Yorugu, she can make puppets that look almost exactly like herself.
For her, dolls are just something that takes a little effort to complete.
Taking advantage of the ever-changing puppet technology, Ling made several life-sized puppets of herself last year. Through pre-prepared artificial intelligence, she completed her "official duties" with the imperial government in a semi-remote and semi-automatic manner.
Let's call her No. 2. She did not use Yorugu's exclusive technology "emotional circuit" to increase her intelligence. Instead, she used data accumulation and deep learning combined with big data to allow her to handle official duties. After inputting the data in advance, she
Simulate Ling's movements and expressions vividly.
A year has passed, and no one has discovered that this young clerk is actually a "dummy". In fact, the tireless machine with optimized algorithms is far from being comparable to ordinary people in handling official duties.
The environment makes people feel like they are looking up to the mountains.
Although Ling has settled in Crossbell and usually only travels between Tolista and Luray. However, according to the information of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau and the Railway Military Police, "she" has never left the empire in the past year.
On the one hand, it was because she carefully put on a vest to hide her identity during her actions, and on the other hand, she relied on the caring little cotton-padded jacket Altina, who instructed her to use her position to modify the internal information records of the Intelligence Bureau, and put her in the Kremlin

——————
Ling Astrey, a member of the Erebonia Empire.
Born on March 27, 1185 in Tuturk, Shasarant Region. Locals of Tuturk and disciples of the Vandel Ashram in Palm provided birth time certificates for him.
From April 1198 to March 1199, he studied at the Tolz Military Academy and obtained the qualification of an A-0 and outstanding student. Among the graduates of the same year was Sharon, who obtained the qualification of an A-0 and outstanding student.
Secretary till now.
In May 1199, he obtained a teaching position at Luray University of Technology. He later became the head of the Department of Mathematics.
In 1200, she was hired as the director of the fourth development room of Leinfort. Although she was only fifteen years old at the time, which made people around her doubt her ability, she had proven her strength in academia. Later, she did use her
The new theory guided the development of a series of new force guides. Dr. G. Schmidt, the president of Luray University of Technology, proposed in the House of Lords that he apply for a knighthood, but without his knowledge, it was rejected on the grounds that he was underage.
.
In June 1201, he obtained a doctorate in chemistry and resigned as a professor at Luray University of Technology. Also leaving Luray University of Technology with him was Tio Pu, a member of the new empire who was born in Remifilia and had just obtained imperial citizenship.
Lato.
In August 1202, after resigning as the director of the 4th Development Office of Leinfort, he traveled to the Liberl Kingdom.
Traveled to Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture in October 1202.
Returned to the Erebonian Empire in January 1203. Settled in a new villa on the outskirts of Luray.
Since April 1203, he has served as a guest instructor at his alma mater, the Thors Military Academy, responsible for mathematics and gunnery courses.
From May 1203, he joined the Imperial Government as a third-class clerk. In the same month, he was promoted to a first-class clerk and presided over matters related to the Imperial Martial Arts Conference. He moved to the imperial capital Heimdall.
In October 1203, as the chairman of the Martial Arts Committee, he served as the chief referee of the first Imperial Martial Arts Competition. At the same time, it was determined that the "Sword Emperor" Reinhardt S. Hamel, who was the runner-up in the Martial Arts Competition, was his swordsmanship teacher.
In January 1204, he was promoted to executive deputy of the Ministry of Independent Affairs. He was in charge of the construction of the guidance network in Erebonia.

Just as she arranged, the puppet double gradually expanded the influence of this identity within the imperial government bit by bit.
However, emergencies disrupted her arrangements. In March 1204, the former minister Earl Orvis died of cancer. Osborne, the representative of the imperial government, proposed that Ling should succeed the minister. After the emperor agreed, the result was handed over to the superiors.
Confirmed by the House of Representatives.
Ling rarely walked into the heavily guarded Balflame Palace and came to Osborne's office.
She rarely met Osborne face to face, whether it was because of Black Knight or because of him, but she felt quite bored when chatting with Osborne alone.
"You don't need to be so formal in front of me. You can relax a little. Sit down." Osborne did not put on airs because he was the supreme administrator of the empire, and started chatting like an ordinary elder.
She reluctantly took the coffee from Osborne. Although she preferred black tea, forget it for this occasion.
After taking a sip, I can't get used to the super bitter taste no matter how many times I drink it. But to be honest, both the aroma and acidity are impeccable, and it is actually a masterpiece among drinks.
"I have already met Rean during Thorz's entrance exam last month. He is doing very well. After I solve his hidden dangers in a while, I will definitely have an easier life."
"Really, that's good."
After hearing about the situation of the blood-connected person, the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed.
"Pushing me up directly makes me very distressed. I originally wanted to hide behind the scenes for a longer time." Ling said in a slightly depressed tone.
"Are you talking about age, or are you worried about opposition? In fact, in your eyes, minister is an important position, but no one else takes this position seriously. It passed the parliamentary review easily."
In the structure of the Erebonia Empire's government, the head of the civil service is Gillias Osborne, who also serves as the government representative, civil minister, defense minister, and foreign minister.
Then there are nine senior officials including the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Transport, the Minister of Health, the Minister of Closbell Affairs, and the ministers.
Regardless, ministers have the lowest status in the cabinet, so they usually can only do chores that others are not willing to do. Basically, other ministers are managing all traditional fields, and it can be said that the power cake has been divided.
However, it is not actually what the average Imperial people think.
After Ling joined Ogua and learned about the imperial government's operating system, she took a fancy to this position. And she joined the Ministry of Ignorance from the beginning.
The minister who does not care is responsible for all the things that other ministers do not care about. In her opinion, this is simply the minister of special services and the minister of special support.
Whether it is the military committee, the construction of the guidance network, the online school and online courses that she is already engaged in, or the new things such as the second guidance revolution that has not started yet but will definitely appear in the future, information security protection, game industry development, etc.
You can put your name under any department.
Well, of course, this is just her own opinion. In fact, although the level is high enough and the salary is good enough, the department is really just a very small department. Most of them come here to gain qualifications and then transfer to other departments, which is very
Few officials born into noble families are willing to stay here for a long time.
"In addition, there is one more thing. The motion that was rejected four years ago has been re-examined and passed. This is why Emperor Youkent summoned you today..."
Four years ago, Ling was just an ordinary scholar. Although he had Schmidt's recommendation, it was still not enough. But now, the convenience brought by new technology has allowed many nobles to experience the benefits. The leader of the fourth development room
Daoli washing machines, Daoli dishwashers, Daoli refrigerators, Daoli air conditioners and other equipment are already in many people's homes. They don't mind paying a little respect to the people who lead the way and improve their living standards. As for their age?
The vast majority of congressmen have never met Ling at all, who cares who the person behind the name represents.
"...Congratulations, Baroness Astley. For this reason, your seat has been transferred from the House of Commons to the House of Lords."
"Let's forget about the powerless name. Uncle, you don't want to be called Earl Osborne, do you?"
"Oh, you are right. In short, on the one hand, it is because the House of Lords believes that it is best not for civilians to serve as high-ranking officials. On the other hand, if that land is given to other nobles, you will also be very troubled.
Right."
"Huh? Ah, could it be that..."
"Yes, Hamel is your fiefdom. This is also the apology of His Majesty the Emperor. As the saying goes, the nights are long and the dreams are many. I think you are also happy to see this result."
"Well, I didn't expect this result..."
According to Ling's original plan, Reinhardt should have obtained the title and then made Hamel his fiefdom. But as Osborne said, that long period of time was full of variables. Reinhardt just
His reputation has just been restored. Although everyone knows that he is a strong swordsman, being a strong man is definitely not enough. If he wants to have an unshakable status like the "Swordsmith of Light" or "Thunder God", he
It will take quite some time to build up your reputation.
"...You are right. As a transition, it is better to let me take the lead than to let Levi come."
◇
After chatting with Osborne for a while, Ling was led by the palace maids to the dressing room to change into a set of clothes suitable for her aristocratic status, and then went to the emperor to accept the canonization. The ceremony was very simple, just a formality. The emperor used a sword rack
I said some congratulations on her shoulder. But for her, a shortcoming was eliminated, so she was in a good mood.
There were only two people at the scene, King Euken III and Princess Priscilla, and they only said some words of comfort. Although Ling was quite interested in the ancient relics in Anor's possession, the time was not yet ripe, so she restrained her curiosity.
After leaving the meeting hall, he returned to Osborne's office again.
"Now this outfit suits you quite well. It's very beautiful."
This was the first time someone called her "pretty" instead of "cute".
"Thank you for your kind words, uncle. Then what did you mean when you just told me that you still have something to ask me for?"
"I heard that Prince Olibat is planning to establish a new 'Special Class' in Thorz. Let Rean enter this class. It can also be said that it is my selfish intention. I hope to protect Rean, so I plan to place a few
A student goes in. Of course, you don't need to tell him."
"You should go to Prince Olibat for that kind of thing, right? I'm not a senior instructor in the Special Class."
"Given your relationship with the eldest prince, the same goes for you. I still know this. As long as you propose it, he will definitely not object. Moreover, in the special class, the number of nobles and non-nobles must be balanced.
For a moment. Don’t you think so?”
The fact that Osborne's spy got into Class 7 made Ling somewhat unhappy. However, when she thought that this kind of thing was inevitable, and there was Osborne's secret hand among Thors students every year, she accepted it calmly.
.
Taking the character information handed over by Osborne, Osborne asked for three people to join. Miriam O'Lane, who was inserted into the special class in the middle of the original work, was on the list from the beginning this time. Same as the original work.
The plot is very different.
In addition, there is Altina Orion, who was sent to the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau by Alberich but actually became Ling's subordinate long ago.
Does Osborn know that Altina has "betrayed"? Ling always thought that Osborne knew about it, but now it seems that he may not know about it.
It was the third person, whose appearance was completely unexpected by Ling.
Shelly Orlando, she didn’t even change her name, it’s a well-known name in the world.
"Hey, it's dangerous to let this guy enter Thorz. I know you often hire "Red Constellation", so you don't know her character."
"No, I know it very well. First of all, she is strong enough, and secondly, as the top hunter, she will do things well as long as she is paid. I still quite trust her attitude in doing things."
"I always feel like I have a headache."
"It shouldn't be a problem for you. Is the "Fairy" of West Wind your disciple? Why not let her join. Remember, Alsaid's daughter didn't seem to go to Astraea Women's Academy, but went to Thorz
Alright."
"Hey, uncle, what do you want to do?"
"I just want to provide him with a better learning environment."
(I just want to give Rean a better chance to open a harem!)
I don’t know who showed Osborne the list of freshmen admitted to Thors. She said she wanted to stuff a few in, but actually picked a lot, but she didn’t want to violate Osborne’s wishes.
Then it was time to go back to Thorz and discuss the selection of candidates for the special class with Van Dyck and Olibat. Ling seemed to be able to see the way they were holding their foreheads in distress.
Ling didn't notice that when she and Osborne were talking, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before. Instead, it turned into a scene of a happy conversation between old friends.
◇
After the purple-haired girl left the palace, forgetting to change back into casual clothes and leaving dressed as a young noble, the atmosphere in the government representative's office gradually solidified again, even becoming heavy enough to make people breathless.
The thick miasma instantly covered the entire room. A whisper-like murmur sounded in Osborne's ears.
"Don't order me, Ishmag. I know what to do."
After a huge terror revealed his existence, Osborne clenched his fist hard and punched where his heart was.
The solid atmosphere suddenly shattered, and the office returned to its previous appearance, a little dull but still ordinary.
