Wayne cleared his throat and said slowly.
"The Ministry of Education is also divided into two parts. One handles education within the county city, divided into elementary and intermediate levels. During your absence, we... carried out... more detailed administration over it. Among them, we classified the elementary academies by rank and established two additional divisions to manage them separately. The intermediate level is the same... The other part is under Wizard Donnie's jurisdiction; we have no authority over it..."
As Wayne spoke, cold sweat poured down his back. This was also completely contrary to the principles Dole had established back then.
He spoke for a full hour, and as he went on, even his voice began to tremble.
When he finished, Dole raised his head and looked at Wayne, his expression cold.
At the sight of it, sweat instantly streamed down Wayne's back.
Dole looked at the uneasy crowd, expressionless, and continued, "That concludes the Ministry of Education. Next is the Ministry of Commerce."
From nine in the morning until four in the afternoon, there had been only one sound in the meeting room: the voices of the various ministers giving their reports.
There was not even the sound of breathing otherwise.
When the Ministry of Resources finally finished speaking, Dole tapped the table.
The meeting room was deathly silent. Everyone looked toward Dole, while some did not even dare lift their heads.
Dole glanced at them, his expression faintly sardonic. He looked at the three unfamiliar faces and spoke slowly. "Mm. Having heard what you all had to say, I feel that Albis Mountain seems to have changed greatly during the half year I was away. There are even several unfamiliar faces now. Changes took place in the management, yet I, the city lord, knew nothing about them."
