Chương 447: Chapter 446: Grand Scholar Russell

Red Castle, Council of Elders, Chief Executive's office.

Count Merlin silently flipped through the report and occasionally asked his assistant, "Have all the Flying Dragon Knights submitted enough Ice Soul Pearls?"

"Lord Gerard is short by two pearls, he needs time to adapt to the position of Minister of Finance, so his trips to the Snowfield have been fewer," replied the assistant. "Lord Drella is also short by one pearl, but he should be able to gather the full amount upon his return."

Among the senior members of the Council of Elders, the role of Minister of Finance had seen several changes.

Initially, it was Baron Roman Luminescent Mushroom who held the position, but because he bore the crime of desertion for Ross, he was stripped of his position; followed by Baron Davis Golden Cap, who unfortunately passed away mid-term, vacating the position; ultimately, Flying Dragon Knight Lord Gerard succeeded him.
