[Contract+ successfully created.]
Oho..it seems like the contract I submitted was successful. I can check the contents of the contract using my mind. But it seems that only I can read the contents of the contract using the mind, the secretary must print the new contract paper can read it. My secretary and I printed the contract paper in a hand-held manner and called the contract. He said the paper could last for three days before it disappeared.
I tried to figure out how to create an infinite amount of paper from the feature but unfortunately couldn't. We can only print two contract papers for each party and those contract papers cannot be littered or written by anything.
After the attempts to outsmart the contract skill did not work, the secretary who had previously stood up because I had asked to print the contract paper, did not return to sitting like when I had just entered the room. Now he was kneeling down while bowing his head. This seems like his way of respecting me? Probably not, it seemed more like he wanted to show that he was scared and submissive.
I was amazed by Fina, actually how she interrogated the secretary. I looked at him again with amazement. He only replied to her with a smile again, but the smile this time was more to a smile thanking her for the praise for him.
After the contract was successfully made, now back to the original problem.
“So miss secretary, I ordered miss to say why tell the three people.”
As if his fear had disappeared for a moment, the secretary answered my question quite smoothly.
“I want to kidnap sir.. I want to interrogate where you got the soap from. In my opinion, there is a possibility of soap craftsmen from the Zhong Empire betraying. As a spy I have to give information about it to Fan Zheng”
Waw, is that how tight they keep soap making information? Just soap alone was like this, how about their imperial political information. Moreover, only with the intention of those who wanted to kidnap and interrogate me turned out to have activated the Danger Detection skill. Feels a bit sensitive, but not necessarily they will succeed. But the skill notification is really useful.
“Who's Fan Zheng?”
“Kingdom intelligence leader Zhong Ji.”
Zhong Ji Kingdom? How many kingdoms and empires are there in the north? Why is it that only the Zhong Empire alone is famous in the island kingdom.
“Where is Zhong Ji's kingdom? Then how many kingdoms and empires are north?”
“Le..”
I asked various things to the secretary, especially the information that turned out to be deliberately sealed from the north.
He said about 10 years ago there was a civil war in Zhong Empire. This all began with the death of the Emperor who left only one prince who was a toddler as his heir.
Since the prince was still a toddler, then he should be represented by the regent. The regent was the right hand of the recently deceased emperor. But because he was power-hungry, he tried to usurp the emperor's throne from the prince. After his experiment failed and was discovered by the other nobles, a war broke out to bring down the regent.
The nobles who took up arms against the regent were not all sincere in wanting to restore the empire, some of them wanted to seize the regent's power or expand their areas of power.
Until now the empire in the north separated into four regions, each of which admitted that they were official imperial heirs.
Zhong Ro was a kingdom controlled by the former great general of the Zhong empire who was conducting a race-cleansing expedition in the northern part of the empire. His kingdom was in the north of Zhong Ji Kingdom
Zhong Lu was a kingdom ruled by nobles in the western part of Zhong Ji, the western part of the empire was famous for its wilderness and high mountains that restricted the empire and the monsters. The humans in the western part of the empire were famous for their strength that was used to hunting monsters.
Zhong Pat was a kingdom ruled by nobles in the southern part of Zhong Ji Kingdom, the area was famous agrarian so most of the people there were farmers.
Despite 10 years of civil war, the information was not leaked to the island kingdom because the four kingdoms agreed to various rules that maintain the stability of the empire despite being at war.
Some rules are, all traders from the archipelago kingdom can only lean on one particular island that has been approved by the four kingdoms. The ship that violates will be immediately drowned.
The people of Zhong Empire who wanted to go to the island to trade or wanted to go to the island kingdom had to sign a contract not to talk about the state of the empire and could only exit the empire through the island.
Hence the island has now become a trading center that is no less crowded with the Kingdom of Pangara.

Alright, enough is the northern imperial trivia, essentially the secretary is one of the spies of Zhong Ji Kingdom which is one of the shards of the empire. Their goal here was to strengthen their foundation in the Kingdom of Pangara. Then, the secretary followed us because he wanted to make sure that there were or were not soap craftsmen from the empire who betrayed us and if there was any such information would be given to Zhong Ji Kingdom.
“So that's the purpose of miss secretary sending the three people. However, I have to apologize in advance, three of your men have we finished.”
Just apologizing isn't enough compared to human life, but I'm telling you first, there might be a better way to make up for it after we talk about it.
“T-it's okay sir, they're just little thugs around here, I don't know them either. Losing those three people was even better for this city. Sir there is no need to apologize, all my faults are daring to disturb mr.”
The longer I hang out with Fina or the secretary, the lower my view of human life will be. After all, what kind of little thug was his level in the dozens? Most of the people are still in single digits.
But it doesn't seem like it would be worthwhile to talk more about it. At least the information on why the secretary is my guess is already known and there will likely be nothing more to interfere with as long as I maintain my attitude. I'd better finish talking about three thugs.
Now, it's time to ask for an insider connection so that our path is more prosperous and smooth in the future. Thanks to the mastermind secretaries skill, he could control the head of the merchant guild. So, indirectly the secretary is the head of the union. The connection he had must have also been extensive because the merchant union of the Kingdom of Pangara was the most influential merchant union among the six island kingdoms.
“Secretary's name, this morning when meeting with us there were several occasions where you were in control of the union leader right?”
“B-right, d-from where do you know it?”
long ago his stammering manner of speech made me feel sorry, if I ordered with Kontrak+ skill will it work?
