93. This is actually the crushing of strength
It can be regarded as a compromise or mutual benefit, and Abt and the other party negotiated in a different place.
This small village is almost isolated from the rest of the world, and it has little contact with the outside world, and it is rare that a market is already considered the most prosperous time, and it is really not as good as the big city, let alone the city of Gay, even the best buildings here are not as good as a thatched house in the city.
This status quo cannot be denied by anyone.
Cyril's face had not been good, and he seemed to hesitate when he entered the house, and then stepped on it again after his foot was withdrawn once.
Banser lowered his eyebrows, pretended not to see it, and quietly ordered the people behind him.
Although the inside of the shabby house, which Cyril and even Banser found shabby, was very clean and tidy, even the most worn things were placed in fixed places for people to access, and it was much more practical than those ornate and cumbersome decorations.
It's not entirely certain, but it's not to be blamed.
But Cyril didn't want to stay in this kind of place for too long, if he could, because he would think of something bad, memories that had been buried in his heart to prevent them from being dug up again.
Cyril's face was not very good, and Banser was keenly aware of it, and immediately stood beside Cyril and silently offered support.
Cyril's hand under his sleeve was clenched tightly, and his palm ached for a moment before he let go.
Banser's expression is not very good, he is Cyril's squire, in this world, except for Lord Stephen, only he cares about Lord Cyril the most.
Banser didn't despise himself, and it could even be said that the more he served Cyrill, the more he would be worthwhile.
"Banser. Cyril's voice reached his ears softly, so softly that Banser alone could hear it.
"Please bear with me. He also whispered, and the squire would soon have his things ready.
Patience?
Cyril's gaze fell on the ground, although it was neat, but it could not be said to be spotless, Cyril's shoes were already stuck with mud, and this was already unbearable for him to be clean.
Cyril was uneasy.
Banser frowned, it didn't seem like the time to discuss.
When Banser was about to say something, Cyril quietly grabbed Banna, and Banger had to stop the words that had reached his throat and glanced at Cyril.
Cyril's face was a little pale, his lower lip was bitten tightly, and he was holding Banser's hand, and he was trembling slightly.
Why bother?
Knowing what Cyril meant, Banser sighed in his heart, Cyril's past experience left a deep wound on his young mind at that time, this is not hypocrisy, it is a real pain.
Banser motioned to the same squire with his eyes, at least let Cyril out first, this place was indeed not suitable for him.
"No, I don't. ”
Banser had to hold back, Cyril always had a strange insistence in some strange places.
Let's try to make this meeting end as soon as possible!
All the people in the village with a bit of status came, there were a lot of them, almost three times the number of people here in Cyril, and everyone was staring at Cyril here, at least the momentum was enough.
Irilet was taken elsewhere, and Abt did not intend to let Irile appear unless she had to.
First, Abt needed to know the group's intentions in coming to their village.
"You may be seated. He gestured to the chair next to Banser.
Banser nodded, then beckoned to the back, and immediately someone rushed in, with a pile of things, ornate chairs studded with beautiful gems, velvet cushions, and even a small table with snacks and tea on it, simple but better than anything else in the room.
Abt's eyes darkened, the value of these things that the other party took out was almost worth more than half of the village, and this was only a conservative statement.
The other party is definitely not simple, but such a move is not too friendly.
Cyril sat on the chair, his pale face had a hint of improvement, and Banser was a little relieved, and looked at the chair prepared by the villagers, he shouldn't have sat down while his master was sitting, but......
Explaining to Cyril, Banser sat down in the chair.
"Thank you!"
Abt's expression became deep, is this a reassuring thing, but one thing should be certain, the other party has no intention of doing it directly, at least for the time being, there is still a possibility of negotiation.
Seeing that Abt's hostility was not as strong as before, Banser was also a little relieved, after all, the message from Lord Stephen was only for them to stabilize the situation, and the specific handling was still up to Lord Stephen.
Sit down with a heavy face, look ahead, and face the crowd in a serious and peaceful manner.
I give you enough respect, and no matter how different you and I are, I deserve your respect accordingly.
"Hello, I'm the temporary head of this village, Abt. "Say hello first.
Banser smiled and said, "Banser," and gestured to the noble man beside him, "This is Lord Cyril." ”
"Could you please wait and explain why you suddenly appeared in our village? Abt stared at Banser, who he recognized as the most honorable of all, but the man who had really come to negotiate was this man of modest appearance but straight build, even though he might have been an attendant.
Banser lowered his head, as an apology, "We sincerely apologize, we don't want to disturb your peaceful life, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble!" Banser did not shy away from admitting his mistake, Banser now represents not himself, but the Holy Son, and even more so the Holy See.
It is naturally much better to admit mistakes than to stubbornly conceal them stupidly, and the image of the Holy See that is upright and courageous in admitting mistakes is easier to be forgiven by simple people.
However, many losses cannot be repaired by admitting mistakes and apologizing, and the damage you have caused has been permanent.
It's just that this deeper truth is not something that can be understood by villagers who have little contact with people in mountain villages all year round, and the villager in front of him has more courage but less courage.
Abt was defensive, but Banser's words relieved him a little.
"Excuse me, what are you doing in our little village?" Abt stared into Banser's eyes, not letting go of any suspicious traces, "I think you should be well aware that our little village has been isolated from the rest of the world for a long time, and we have been going out less often since six years ago, so I guess we haven't messed with anyone!"
That's true, but in this world, how can there be any reason to avoid all disasters as long as you reduce contact with the outside world?
It's all just self-deception, but that's not something Banser can say, at least not yet.
"Rest assured, we have no ill will. The tone was soothing, a relatively relaxed tone, trying to reduce the other party's mustard, "We just obeyed orders to investigate some things." ”
Avoid the important and light, but also give the other party a little wake-up.
Abt's face was still irrepressibly darkened, but it didn't seem to be as nervous as it had been.
Banser didn't want Abt to trust him completely, as long as he could negotiate the status quo for the time being.
"Can you make it clear?" Abt could see that the other party was suspected of being sloppy, so he naturally didn't intend to let the other party go easily.
Banser smiled, but this smile made people feel a little uncomfortable, as if there was always a sense of calculation hidden in it.
"Also, I want to ask why you are searching Paro City like this, Paro City is only a small place, and this village is even more inconspicuous, why do you care so much?" Abt stared at Cyril, who was almost isolated from the rest of the world, a man of no low status, even very high.
That's a bit poignant.
Benser replied, "How so? We're not going to hurt any clean people. He seemed to think for a moment, "By the way, my previous introduction seems to be a little lacking, and now I'll add to it." He stood up directly and took a few steps forward, although he was still some distance away from Abt, but the coercion was directly pressed on Abt.
Abt's expression changed suddenly, this world already has such wonderful things as elements, the more powerful people can master the more elemental power, and the more powerful the coercion on the body, it is naturally not very possible to feel it when it is hidden, but if this person's coercion is so rushing, it is difficult for ordinary people to bear it.
Although Abt is respected enough in the village, he has growth defects after all, how can he casually withstand the pressure of a professionally trained person.
Abt knew very well that his legs could not help but tremble a little, but he could not show it.
"We are all from the holy city of Gaye, and we believe in the Son of the God of Light, and my lord is the beloved of the God of Light, the Son of all peoples, and enjoys the glory of the world, and my lord's name is Cyril. ”
Abt's pupils suddenly diated a lot, and his muscles tensed, he thought that the other party was big enough, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
What kind of being is the Son?
The Holy Son is considered to be the representative of the God of Light in the human world, and his influence in the world is second only to the Pope, although Abt has been living in this small village, but his knowledge is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and those who don't know, after hearing Banser's words, are also dumbfounded and look at Cyril sitting calmly in the chair.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was very powerful, although I didn't understand it at all.
"Again, we are not here to hurt you, as I said before, we are only here on orders. ”
That's what I'm afraid of.
If an individual has something in mind, it is better to take care of it, but if they are only following orders, it is easy to ignore everything else, and if they get any orders, they will really cause disaster.
