The sky was overcast. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info wind blew gently, the leaves rattled, and few people in the line spoke.

Olaf Kruger was dressed in a black robe, his golden hair glistening in the sun, his angular face, his brow slightly furrowed, his eyelids drooping, and full of grief. He walked slowly up the steps, each step looking heavy, each step looking heartbreaking.

"It's unlucky. Paul rubbed his hands uneasily and whispered, "I don't like it here, it's eerie. ”

"Nobody likes it here. The tax officer, Bauer's eyes were full of horror, and he looked left and right, "These people have hatred in their eyes. I've seen several of them. Look, that man, who took the lead in refusing to pay taxes, incited the whole village. The one with the scar on his face, I swear he broke one of the tax collector's legs. ”

Master Karl's mouth pursed slightly, and he could tell that he was a little nervous, and his eyes were looking around.

"That's because your tax collector is too vicious, rubbing oil, taking bribes, embezzling, and even robbing people's daughters when collecting taxes. Takehito unceremoniously replied to the tax officer.

"You dare to slander the officials of the Empire!" Bauer raised his voice, his eyes wide.

"Watch your words. Takehito whispered, "You should shut up and look at the occasion." ”

Behind the officials of the Governor's Palace, there were several famous families in Yuhua City: Han Xuanwang, a descendant of Han Xuanlin, the former household servant of the Rising Sun Empire, Xu Rong, a wealthy merchant spanning the two industries of grain and wine, Fang Derui, a wealthy silk businessman, Qiu Xiaotian, the director of the Tongwen and Martial Arts Museum, and the entourage of these people.

Behind these men, there were a number of spontaneous civilians who were stopped by Norrington, the sheriff, but Olaf ordered them to follow.

When the team reached the wide platform halfway up the mountain, the mountain was full of tombstones. This is the cemetery outside Yuhua City, the feng shui of the Chongshan Mausoleum, the remnant of the Rising Sun Empire, and the cemetery built on the mountain.

"Tombstones all over the hills. It's uncomfortable. Paul shuddered.

Li Liefeng interjected: "You dare to say one more word, be careful of your tongue." ”

Wu Ren grabbed Li Liefeng, Li Liefeng shook off Wu Ren's hand and gave Wu Ren a blank look.

"Gale, Hugh is rude. Han Xianwang coughed lightly.

Governor Olaf stood halfway up the mountain, followed by the others, bowing deeply to the tombstone.

Wu Ren's heart ached faintly, one of those lying on the ground was the young Han Ruolin, and the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire who also died in the tragedy of the Flower God Festival in Yuhua City were silent.

After a minute of silence, Governor Olaf turned to face everyone, tears on his face.

"Really good at acting. Li Liefeng sneered, and his voice was very soft, but Wu Ren still heard clearly, "Fake benevolence and false righteousness." Just like you, Wu Ren, Lord Han can forgive you, but I won't. ”

Wu Ren was silent. He never dared to say that it was he who proposed the opening of the Flower God Festival. He is not afraid of death, even if Han Xianwang wants his life, he can dig out his heart. But the Polar Men have invaded the province, and he cannot die at the hands of his compatriots. He will not be provoked by Li Liefeng. What if the gale wins? What if you win the gale? Your sins cannot be washed away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, with heavy steps and a sad heart, I send flowers to the deceased of the Flower God Festival tragedy, and bow in silence. I couldn't calm down for a long time. Tears welled up in Governor Olaf's eyes, "The hundred years of the Empire, the sacred ones, the glorious ones, in my opinion, are a hundred years full of blood and fire. ”

"It's bold. Paul opened his mouth in surprise, "He has the ability to say it in front of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

In his speech, Governor Olaf deliberately mixed part of the Huanglong language into the lingua franca: "The ancient Empire of the Rising Sun has a saying: 'The power of the world must be united for a long time', and the Rhodes Empire became the only empire on the continent, which is exactly what this sentence answers." ”

"Fuck it, there's the next sentence, and you have to divide it for a long time. Li Liefeng clenched his fists, "He is uneducated when everyone is uneducated? ”

Takehito's heart beat a drum.

Prior to this, almost all officials had objected to the Governor's commemoration. Sheriff Harrington was the first to object, saying bluntly that he did not want to see a third governor killed in a year. Maester Karl's objection was scornful, on the grounds that time would heal all wounds and that the Doge should not uncover them. Bauer, the tax collector, and Paul, the internal affairs officer, were afraid that they would be killed, but they said that they asked the governor to consider their personal safety. Takehito also objected, believing that after more than a month, the governor should not mention this sad matter again, which would exacerbate the conflict. On the other hand, the Polar Regions have breached Sands City, and the defense of the province is even more important.

However, Governor Olaf has always had his own style, he was already fluent in the Yellow Dragon language, bypassing Master Karl, and wrote a letter of invitation himself, inviting several famous families in Yuhua City to participate in the mourning activities.

If the Restoration faction mixes in the team and kills the people here, it will really turn Yuhua City upside down. Wu Ren's palms were sweaty, and he looked around, his face solemn.

However, more than 80 years have passed since the war between the two empires, and the peoples of the two countries have not really fused. Historical hatred, cultural differences, linguistic differences, and so on, are like an invisible rope that separates the people of the province. Governor Olaf sighed and shook his head slightly, "The Flower God Festival is a traditional festival of the Rising Sun Empire, and it is a day of festivities. The celebration of the centenary of the empire is also a day of festivities. How to make everyone happy? It was the decision of the Governor's Palace to hold the Flower God Festival. We want to send a signal: we hope that the people of Rhodes and the remnants will tolerate each other and forget hatred. ”

Li Liefeng snorted, and some of the people who came up at the bottom of the steps exchanged heads, and some looked at Olaf coldly.

Governor Olaf clenched his fists, his voice trembled slightly, and said: "However, this beautiful idea was exploited by the Restorationists, who launched a terrifying attack. They slaughtered the civilians, the ordinary people who prayed to the seven gods in the church, the elderly, the children, the women, the unarmed of all races, regardless of age, all died under their butcher's knives. They are the cancer of the province!"

"You robbers who have conquered the Empire of the Rising Sun!, you are the cancer!" retorted someone at the bottom of the steps.

"Cat Crying Mouse Fake Mercy!" "Get out of here!" "Rhodes, get out!"

The scene began to spiral out of control. Those people, who had been opened by Governor Olaf to participate in the mourning, were now blocked on the steps, with the intention of forcing the Rhodes to apologize for their sins. Some of them scuffled with the guards, some groped their hands around their waists, and some had already taken away the guards' swords. Some picked up stones and threw them at the dignitaries halfway up the mountain.

Qiu Xiaotian was a martial artist, dodging a few flying stones and yelling. Fang Derui squatted on the ground, holding his head and trembling. Li Liefeng protected Han Xuanlin and ordered the guards to prepare to break through. Maester Karl hid behind the guards, and Bauer and Paul hid behind the tombstones.

Only Olaf stood halfway up the mountain, motionless, letting the small stones fall on him.

"Lord Governor, be careful!" Takehito stretched out his arms and stood in front of Olaf. I've got to stop them. He looked around, looking for mounds or trees, summoning obstacles to calm both sides.

"Stop! Who dares to be rude again, don't blame me Xu Rong for being unkind!" Xu Rong's voice overshadowed the noise, his voice was loud enough, and his tone was tough.

As soon as Xu Rong said it, the remnants were stunned and stopped the commotion.

The guards drew their swords and surrounded them.

"Put your sword away. Governor Olaf scolded, "This is the resting place of countless people, disturb the deceased, behead!"

Both sides calmed down, dozens of pairs of eyes staring at the governor.

Olaf's black robe was covered with dust and mud, and he patted it gently, his eyes burning: "The tragedy of the Flower God Festival makes me deeply saddened at the same time, but also makes me make up my mind: from today onwards, the Doge's Palace welcomes talented people, whether you are from Rhodes or the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire, you can come to the Doge's Palace through self-recommendation and recommendation." ”

There was a sound of heads and ears under the steps, and the officials who were originally the governor's palace looked at each other. Many people, like Takehito, thought they had misheard.

"I, Olaf Kruger, in my capacity as Governor of Sunset Province, hereby declare that the Provincial Governor's Palace is open: the capable will ascend and the mediocre will descend. As long as you have talent, no matter your origin, age, or place of origin, you can use it for me. Olaf emphasized.

He pulled Takeren to his side, "His name is Takeren, and he led the army to repel the landing of the polar people twice. He was a magician of the Empire and a remnant of the Empire, and in him I saw the possibility of fusion. I appoint him as Assistant to the Governor. A few famous families, as long as they want, I am willing to leave a seat for a few of them to assist me in managing the province together. ”

Han Xuanlin, Xu Rong and others were dumbfounded. As for Takehito, he felt that dozens of pairs of eyes swept him all over his body, and his mind went blank.
