in the name of the queen

Chapter 139 Abominable double standards

Of course Roland has the answer, but with such a good exam opportunity, of course he must learn to share it.

Before sharing it with Sif, he had the idea to see what other people thought, which would serve as a frame of reference for comparison.

He found Lisa first.

Lisa was very busy during this time, and as Roland's confidant, she was also entrusted with important responsibilities. She is now not only the logistics officer of the Knights, but also responsible for the logistics of all armies in the entire governorate.

Through the Battle of the Canal, Roland gained a clear understanding of the true situation of the armies in the three overseas provinces, and was about to carry out drastic reforms.

Logistics support is an important part of the reform, and it should naturally be left to the people you trust the most.

Previously there was no Governor's Palace and no General Logistics Officer.

But now there is.

Senior officials in charge of logistics in the three provinces coveted this new position and even secretly came to him to try to smoothen their relationship. However, they all fell silent after learning of the appointment.

As expected of the pretty-faced governor, he focuses on nepotism in his approach to people.

The logistics chiefs of the three provinces each have their own strengths. No matter who is used, the other two will be unbalanced. Roland simply does not use one, so that everyone will be balanced.

Slandering people behind his back and spreading rumors that he employs people for nepotism and has an affair with Lisa?

Sif didn't believe it, Lisa didn't mind, and neither did he.

Although she was very busy, Lisa did not complain to Roland. Instead, she happily took the interrogation report, looked at it briefly and gave her answer.

"I choose my sister."

"Reason?" Roland guessed that Lisa would say this, but he still had to ask.

"Although Munina is an enemy, she is not bad in nature. Although Munina is highly talented, she has a bad heart and can be cruel to her own sister. I dare not let her follow you."

Lisa grabbed Roland's sleeve and said softly: "Roland, this is just my personal idea. The final decision-maker is you."

She rarely expresses her objections clearly, but this time she spoke up, which shows her bad impression of Munia.

Roland smiled and nodded, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Perhaps because she was worried that what she just said would affect Roland's decision-making, she suddenly grabbed Roland's sleeve and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, how do I understand these things? Don't listen to my nonsense. By the way, I tried to make a new dish according to the new recipe last time. Try it tonight?"

Roland smiled and nodded.

Lisa's cooking skills are getting better and better, and he is the biggest beneficiary.

Her extraordinary profession is that of a chef, and she can be promoted if she masters more dishes.

Roland had plenty of recipes. In order not to reveal his identity as a time traveler, he did not become a Chinese food promotion ambassador from another world, but found another way.

He reproduced the elven food recipes of the Third Age by passing down his memories.

Only when he saw the recipe did he realize how far apart the real elves were from the stereotype.

The ancient elves were slender and strong, and they were both handsome and handsome under their loose robes.

Male elves look thin when wearing clothes, but when they take off their outer clothes, their muscles are firm but not ferocious. Women are as hot as succubi.

This is normal. If you are slender, you will have no strength. If you have no strength, you will not be a marksman.

Vegetarian food occupies a large proportion in the diet of the elves, but they never resist exquisitely cooked meat, egg, and milk foods.

The taste of the elves is relatively light, and the cooking techniques are mainly steaming, boiling, and stewing, and there are very few processing methods such as braised and fried.

Their delicacies use exquisite ingredients, are exquisitely processed, and are full of color, flavor, and flavor.

If placed in another world, it would definitely become a world-famous cuisine.

The only drawback of elf delicacies is that the processing is cumbersome and requires exquisite fire control.

Fortunately, Lisa is proficient in cooking and can perfectly reproduce these delicacies of the bereaved family.

Roland left the logistics officer's office and went to the basement to find Alina.

Although Alina can hide her identity like a dancer with a thousand faces, she does not like to show her face in front of others.

She likes quiet environment.

Opening the heavy password door, Roland saw Alina.

Alina didn't talk nonsense and asked him with her eyes.

"Is something wrong?"

Roland handed the interrogation record to Alina.

Alina glanced at it and looked up at Roland with confusion.

She organized this thing. What do you mean?
"Munina and Muniya have a deep hatred and cannot coexist. How do you choose?"

"You already have the answer." Alina didn't want to answer.

"I want to hear your opinion."

Since Roland insisted, Alina did not pretend to be pretentious and said directly:

"Munina."

"reason?"

"Picking Munia will cause a lot of trouble for my job, you know, it's not cheap to mark a restless guy."

Alina said calmly.

She gradually adapted to her new identity and temporarily acted as Roland's intelligence chief.

Perhaps thinking that this would affect Roland's decision-making, she quickly added:
"The above are just opinions from the perspective of intelligence collection, no need to refer to them."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Roland turned around, looked back before leaving, and said softly: "Go out for a walk more, it's not good to be bored here all the time."

Alina didn't speak, just silent.

After Roland walked away, she let out a weak sigh.

Of course she would be out and about, but not now.

[Faceless One] gives her the special ability to hide in disguise and make masks.

With each additional face, her concealment ability will be improved, and she will be one step closer to level seven.

Just as Alina was preparing to make a new mask, the bell on the table trembled slightly.

She stood up and went through the secret door to another secret room.

Having money is good.

With the start-up capital provided by Roland, she is rebuilding the intelligence network.

It is not easy to establish an intelligence network, and it will be difficult to see benefits within a year or two.

Training professional agents, expanding channels for intelligence collection, and spending money to directly purchase intelligence all require money.

She needs reliable manpower, and her father's old subordinates are the perfect target.

But she couldn't risk it just yet.

After all, she couldn't tell what these people were thinking.

Governor's Palace.

The Governor and the Lieutenant-Governor were sitting across from each other, talking.

Occasionally staff members passing by outside the door would always silently guess that Lord Roland and Earl Sif must be planning the development blueprint for the three overseas provinces.

However, they are studying a simple question, sister or sister?

Two interrogation reports were placed in front of Sif.

She knew this was an important exam and did not dare to neglect it. She read it word by word and thought carefully.

Roland was not in a hurry and waited slowly.

He had already handed over Munia to Bone and Munina to Nana.

Munia explained a lot, but her credibility was compromised; Munina had less information, but it was more truthful.

Let the interrogator work harder and increase the intensity of the interrogation.

The Siren sisters can’t stand it? There was no Geneva Convention in this era, and the treatment Roland gave their prisoners was already very good.

If it were any other feudal lord, the beautiful siren lady would have been dragged to satisfy his curiosity, or even knocked unconscious by puffs.

Let them also suffer and try to restore their memories. Sif thought for a long time and asked in a nonchalant manner: "What would you choose?"

"I'm asking you." Roland was annoyed by Sif.

"Well, why isn't there an option to have them all?" Sif asked softly.

Roland picked up the large five-pound gold coin engraved with Edward's face and placed it on the table.

"When you gain the avatar side, you will also lose the heraldic side, which makes sense."

Sif took the gold coin and stood it up with a smile. Before she could speak, the gold coin staggered and fell.

"I understand, it all requires superb balancing skills. Both sisters want each other to die, and there is no way to balance them no matter what."

"Let's write the answers on paper and we'll find out the answers later." Sif suggested with a smile.

"Okay." Roland would not refuse the answer game as an entertainment part of boring teaching.

The two of them got paper and pen and wrote down their answers respectively.

When Roland was about to open the note and check the answer, Sif held his hand and said, "Wait a minute, let's exchange the note and see the answer."

"Sister." This was Roland's answer.

"Idiot." This was Sif's answer.

The two looked up at each other and smiled at the same time.

The answer is okay, but what about the process of solving the problem?
Sif cleared her throat and began to explain.

"Actually, I didn't think much about it, but that Muniya made me feel uncomfortable. I always felt like there were poisonous snakes hiding in her eyes."

"Although Munina is a bit dumber and less talented, she is easier to control. In my opinion, Munina is smart but not very wise. Munina is dumb but knows how to measure."

"Although she made no secret of her feelings about killing her sister, it was her sister who went too far. Munina's character is better than her sister's."

"On that rainy night, she didn't cross the camp gate. She had a sense of awe, so I chose her."

After reporting the answer, Sif looked at Roland with some anxiety.

Although her choice was based on profit considerations, it was also mixed with personal emotions.

She was a little confused. On what basis did Roland make his decision?
"Benefit."

Looking at her eyes filled with "I'm very curious", Roland explained calmly:
"Choosing Munina is about maximizing your interests."

"On the surface, Munia, who mastered the second movement Chaos, has higher value than Munina, but she overlooked one thing. The roles they played were not horses, but horse bones."

"Since it's horse bones, it doesn't matter who runs faster."

Munia's confession revealed important information. There are not only civilizations under the deep sea, but also powerful mysterious organizations.

The title Marine General does sound like a high-level person, but most likely he is not the leader.

Above the generals of the sea, there should be great generals and even sea emperors.

Gram Siren is the springboard for future communication with deep-sea civilization.

Since it is a springboard, Munina, who has less self-thought, is better than restless Munia.

Munia didn't know that her seemingly wonderful performance was full of flaws in Roland's eyes.

Are you willing to go to endless purgatory for your sister?

Then go for it.

After explaining to Sif, Roland gave her a score.

minus.

Of course Sif was not convinced. Her answer was correct. Even if the derivation process was not perfect, it would only deduct one or two points at most. Why was it a negative point?
In the past, when I made the worst choice, I only got zero points.

"Xif, you mix emotional factors into your decision-making. Even if you get the right answer, it is more dangerous than making a mistake directly. If you are wrong, you will reflect and correct it. If you get the answer right, you will even create the illusion of being wrong. Confidence."

Sif felt aggrieved.

She longed for Roland's approval, not this kind of evaluation.

Even politicians inevitably have personal emotions.

Seeing Sif lowering her head and saying nothing, Roland couldn't bear it.

But I have to say it no matter how hard I bear it.

"Sif, before I came to you, I asked Lisa and Alina the same question."

"Then what did they say?"

"Their answers are the same as yours, but the reasons are different." Roland briefly explained the reasons for Lisa and Alina's choice.

"It seems that only Alina can get full marks, and Lisa and I both have negative marks?" Sif felt a little better after hearing that Lisa's reason was more emotional than her own.

Don't be afraid of low scores, just be afraid of high scores.

Since there are more impulsive guys, she is not at the bottom.

"No, you are the only one with a negative score."

Roland said calmly: "Alina analyzed from an intelligence perspective and did not mix personal emotions, so her score was naturally not low. Although Lisa is dominated by personal emotions, she is just a chef."

Sif's smile suddenly froze.

Her breathing was a little messy, and she clenched and unclenched her little fists, loosened and clenched them again, and it took a long time before she could barely control her emotions.

"Why don't you hold me to my standards Lisa?"

The words came to her lips but she couldn't say them out. She could guess what Roland would say.

She is a queen and a politician and must be strict.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. Lisa was also a logistics officer.

This is clearly a double standard!
It's okay for Lisa to act on her own initiative, but it's a negative mark if she mixes in her personal emotions. How can there be such a thing?

Seeing that Sif had no intention of reflecting, Roland put on a straight face and prepared to give her a tough lesson like Mr. Walder did, telling her about the dangers of political leaders' personal emotions affecting their decision-making.

Then he saw the trembling little golden beans in the corners of Sif's eyes about to fall.

Roland relented.

Sif is just a teenage girl. In the past few months, she has lost her father, been forced to inherit the throne, and faced all kinds of powerful officials and enemies.

She's done a great job.

Roland can give her 9 points without fear of her being proud.

But the woman was there, staring at them quietly.

There is no difference between 9 points and 0 points, both end in death.

It is not harsh to say that 9 points is also a negative point.

Roland was indeed setting double standards and putting pressure on Sif, but he had to do it.

As more and more forces hiding in the shadows come to the fore, many of their enemies are very powerful.

9 points is high, but not enough.

Roland slowly raised his hand towards Sif's cheek, then quietly put it down.

He turned and walked away, leaving Sif to reflect.

Seeing that Roland still refused to comfort her, but turned around and left, Sif's grievances surged instantly, and the golden beans fell down.

She bit her lip, retracted her raised hand, and covered her mouth tightly. Although her tears fell, she never cried.

"Your opponent is a politician, you are better than them all, you can't be emotional"

"Your enemy is Sophia, will she show mercy?"

“If you bring emotions to work, every mistake you make could cost thousands of lives!”

Teacher Wald’s teachings rang like a demonic voice.

Pressing her slender hand on her chest, Sif stared blankly out the window, her eyes red.

She knew Roland was right.

But my chest felt so tight.

It was obvious that Roland often scolded her before, so why was it so uncomfortable this time?

She doesn't understand.
