Chapter 32 May all you be with me
Charles, who had been rampant, quickly regained his composure, straightened his clothes, turned his head to look at the guard beside him, and the guard immediately ran out, and after a while, he ran back again, and reported to him: "It was a farmer and his wife, the farmer said that the family was poor, and wanted his wife to sell the sick child in the family, but his wife disagreed, and lay down in the city lord's mansion crying, and the guards were driving away. โ
Charles's expression was cold after hearing this, and he took the lead and walked out, and the aristocratic girls behind him saw that there was a lively scene to see, and they also followed out, Su Ya didn't want to go, but she was in the center of the crowd, and she couldn't dodge, so she could only be pushed away.
When they reached the door, the peasant stood aside and looked at the crowd with a cold eyebrow, while the peasant woman lay on the ground with a baby in her arms and cried: "...... Usually I do the farm work at home, but my husband never does it, but this year I gave birth to a child, and my health is not good, and I have to take care of the child, so the work in the field is delayed...... Double full moon festival harvest reunion, every family has a holiday, but my family doesn't even have food, can't eat, the child is sick, he asked me to sell the child for money, wowโโ, beg the adults to call the shots for me, wow, I can't live this day! โ
"It's so pitiful, if you can't get by, get divorced!"
"This kind of man should be killed with a magic ball!"
"Such a poor man, I still want you to raise him, and sell the children, why do you marry him?!"
Aristocratic girls dressed exquisitely and gorgeously stood on the steps, like a beautiful scenery that did not know anything about the world, and they spoke freely and expressed their thoughts.
The farmer suddenly found an outlet, pointed at them and scolded: "To put it bluntly, don't you just dislike me for being poor?!" Can you blame me for being poor, ah, I also want to be born rich and noble, like you nobles, eat and do nothing, and attend banquets to live a good life! Who made me miserable and born poor, I didn't have that kind of life, now I have no food, I beat my wife and sell my children, what does it matter to you, you have to take care of it, okay, give me money! โ
The girls had probably never been scolded by anyone, and they were dumbfounded, and they only dared to shout in a low voice: "Ah, how dare he, it's so ungraceful, so it's really annoying to say that the poor!" โ
Seeing the chaos at the scene, Charles frowned and said, "It's all quiet!" โ
Suddenly, everyone fell silent, only the farmer still said in a strange voice: "Yo, isn't this our young city lord, I heard that you are very rich?" โ
"Yes, I am very rich, and I was born rich, but this is the result of our family sticking to the City of Time for generations and defending its dignity, for this reason, twenty of my thirty-seven ancestors died in battle, and you," Charles's voice was clear and cold, but there was an invisible contempt, "The reason why you were born poor is because your father and ancestors did not work hard, and now you are young and strong and have the ability to survive, and you will only complain, you don't know how to work hard, believe me, it will be your son's turn to be poor next." Oh no, I think of it, you were about to abandon him, and even deprive him of his right to be a poor man, and it seems that your father is not as good as your ancestors! โ
The farmer's face turned red, and he no longer looked arrogant, his eyes were staring around, and he didn't know what to say, and he reached out to pull the peasant woman who was still weeping.
When the aristocratic maidens saw him like this, they felt that their side had triumphed, and they began to chirp again, and Charles turned back and said to them in the same cold tone: "It is true that I do not like the lazy poor, just as they do not like the nobles, but it is my duty to give them fair rights. So, if you don't want me to ask your parents for the sake of obstructing your official duties, please leave here. โ
So, the young lady's sightseeing group rushed back to the banquet faster than when they came, Su Ya crowded in the crowd, and had to sigh at their combat effectiveness, who said that these young ladies are useless, running in high heels is also a skill!
Su Ya, who sat back in her seat, looked around the banquet full of nobles and fragrant temples again, but her appearance was much better than just now. Although she sat here before, she always felt out of place, to be honest, probably because of her natural antagonism, as a commoner, she has always disliked nobles and magic families, they are all proud and reserved, and they are longer than others in self-introduction, for fear that others will not know how rich and powerful their family is! At this time, she will subconsciously think: โญ(โฏ^โฐ)โฎWhat is dragged, and it is not what you earned~
However, today, through Guรฒ Char's words, Su Ya understood a truth, that is, although the family foundation is not earned by herself, but it is also earned by the hard work of other ancestors, and it is always hard for people to work first, besides, it is normal for people to be willing to bless their children and grandchildren after becoming famous, isn't it?
So, if you want not to be looked down upon and can't fight your parents, you can only fight yourself, fight for yourself, and win by yourself, and maybe the baby from home can also get a second generation of nobles!
However, she will not teach her own baby to be Charles's "pay me back" all day long! It can't be like those aristocratic girls, so many people can't win when they quarrel, it's too weak! After the quarrel, if you don't admit defeat, you will end the game, it is too disrespectful!
Su Ya's brain hole opened bigger and bigger, Lolita was full of food and drink, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes for a long time, but she didn't react, she simply dragged her up: "Let's go, don't you want to read the Book of Time, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to occupy a good position!" โ
"Oh, is it getting started," Suya came back to her senses and took the last sip of champagne in her glass, "so let's hurry over there, which way to go?" โ
"Follow me." Lolita pointed to the curtain facing them, and Su Ya followed her gaze, the curtain was embroidered with gold and silver and a map of stars, and in the center was the sun and the moon.
When it was the turn of the two to cross, Su Ya carefully stretched out her hand and touched it, it was cold and silky, I don't know what material it was made of, and then looked up, but found that on the other side of the curtain, there was already another piece of cave.
The white vines hung down from the green trees like a waterfall, and they bloomed beautifully. The elves flying in the sky shuttled through it, playfully picking up flowers and throwing them at the guests. Of course, these were not enough to surprise Su Ya, what surprised her was: "It's daytime here?" โ
"The City of Time, the place where time resides, its timeline can be changed, after the war with the dark elves two hundred years ago, this city will always be half day and half night, as a warning." Lolita explained in her ear.
"It's no wonder that the first day I came here was obviously evening, and I went through the magic teleportation array to the City of Time, but it became noon." She was still strange at the time, but then she was too busy to forget to ask, but she didn't expect to have no intention of solving the puzzle today.
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the venue, where rows of simple wooden benches were placed on red bricks for people to sit on. Su Ya wanted to sit in the last row, but was dragged to the front by Lolita: "Stupid Suya, look up, the Book of Time is in front!" โ
"Oh~" Hearing her say this, Su Ya obediently moved to the front row and sat down, raised her head, and found that the book of time she had been thinking about for a long time was really in front, at the top of the giant tree in the sky. Although its entity is much smaller than the projection above the twin minarets in the square, it is just as splendid, surrounded by silver light, and is no longer dreamlike, but has a real demeanor.
Staggering the silver light, Su Ya also found that because of the stronger ontological ability, everyone in the venue not only had a silver glow on the top of their heads, but even a thin layer of silver halo around their bodies.
And the legendary lord of the city appeared like a ball of silver light, looking at the others is quite beautiful, look at this, cough, why did it look like a big light bulb, Bai looked like a good appearance like Charles.
Different from Su Ya's perception, the couple next to him had already hid their faces and cried: "Oh my God, is the city lord overdrawn his vitality and signed a temporary contract with the Book of Time?" โ
"Time City has finally come to this point!"
"If the old city lord was still here, how could the City of Time end up in this place-"
"- Shhhh The city lords have their own reasons for doing things! โ
The whispers of the people around her puzzled Suya, and she looked at Lolita and cast an inquiring look.
"The city lord can sign a temporary contract with the Book of Time and garrison the City of Time, which is why it has been able to stand for so many years, but," Lolita analyzed in Su Ya's ear very academically, "The Book of Time has a strange origin, very spiritual, and ordinary people can't control it, so they can barely use it, once they release the ultimate, don't think about being a magician again in this life." โ
Su Ya exclaimed: "So miserable? โ
"Well, that's not bad, if you consume too much vitality, people can just hang up."
Charles just said that twenty of his thirty-seven ancestors died on the battlefield, could this be one of the reasons? Thinking about it this way, Su Ya sincerely admired the previous city lords of Time City, this kind of sacrificial spirit that knew that it was impossible but was still willing to move forward was really worthy of the dignity and prestige of the lord of a city!
And this admiration reached its peak after listening to the speech of the lord of the city on the stage, because he said: "I am from the family of Augustine, and my people have been stationed in the city of time for a thousand years!" This city is my home, my battlefield, and my grave, and I swear to live and die with this city! May you all be with me! โ
Gods, are you so hot-blooded? I want to follow him and immediately pick up the bricks and go to the battlefield, everyone rushes up to beat people, is there any?!
Even Lolita, who has always been cold-blooded and cold-hearted, couldn't help but hold her little face and say, "Uncle City Lord is so good, he is worthy of being the son of Dante's crown!" โ
Wait, the son of Dante's crown? Did she hear something amazing?!

The evaluation of the nobility in this chapter does not represent the final position of this article, in fact, there are not many nobles with such discipline as the City of Time~
