The next morning, Lester called his seven subordinates to his room.
"For this review, as long as they meet the standards, that's enough. If there's anything they don't want us to know, then don't look into it."
"We're the Nobility Rank Review Department, not the War Merit Verification Department, nor the Public Order Patrol Department. Leave them some dignity, and they won't make things difficult for us. Keep that in mind."
"Yes, Captain." The seven nodded in reply.
If they had been veteran members, Lester would not have needed to remind them like this. Unfortunately, three members of his team were newcomers from other departments, so he had to warn them in advance not to bring the work styles of those other departments into his team. Otherwise, the one who would suffer would be him, the captain of Review Team 33.
Taking his briefcase, Lester pulled out eight forms, representing the eight areas of review.
For the three new members, Lester assigned them the simplest tasks: reviewing the population, military, and territory size. The remaining four tasks were given to the veteran members, while he personally took charge of reviewing the lord's strength.
After sending the seven away, Lester directly wrote "standards met" on the form without recording Velin's specific strength in detail.
"All right, done."
Lester stretched, placed the document he was responsible for into his briefcase, then left his room and headed for the Adventurer Tavern in Star Prayer City.
The wine he had drunk last time had been so flavorful that he could not forget it. This time, no matter what, he had to buy some to take back.
Over the next three days, Belder arranged for officials to assist the review team members in gathering information on certain areas of Qixing Territory.
Everyone took Lester's reminder
