Lobita never thought that this little man was really a little Lori, and he didn't expect such a little Lori to easily pose in front of him with an old-fashioned appearance, and he didn't expect that this little Lori in front of him was so strong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This strong impact made Lobita feel a little dizzy. Yes, who believes this, such a child can easily block the stabbing of the spear, it is like a vulture pecking at the egg, and finally tell you that the egg wins, and the vulture breaks his beak instead.

It's incredible.

After such a stimulus, Lobita calmed down from the blind worship, and then was embarrassed by the act of worshipping and flattering just now, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Well, no matter what you look like, you are Dumar's benefactor. "Yo ho. I seem to have contributed a lot to Dumar. Are you so hostile to the Kaiser court? ”

"Not everyone, of course. But you can think that as long as the people of Dumar have a conscience and self-respect, they are ashamed that their cities are controlled by foreign countries. We used to be an independent city-state, but since five years ago, none of that has been there. ”

"Oh? As a servant, do you also worry about these things? Jamila felt a little incredible.

"As a servant, I am also a freedman, not a slave," said Lobita, with some pride, "and most of the Dumar people love their city-state. After saying this, he seemed to feel that the onlookers just now did not behave well, and added: "Of course, without weapons, we will not take risks easily." ”

Jamila looked at Lobita slightly, she was not tall, but her body was still strong, and in terms of body structure, she might have done some physical training, and it shouldn't be a servant's physique. The blue-haired and eyed girl clasped her hands back and clasped them together, looked up and asked, "Why did you want to be that man's servant?" Lobita was stunned, but she didn't expect her to throw out such a private question, so she had to reply with a reply: "You should ask your former servants their reasons, it's the same." ”

Jamila understood what he meant, winked at him in apology, and looked back, as if unwilling, and said, "Ah, I mean - you're quite strong, you're very energetic, maybe you'll be able to do a better job, not just a servant or something." Aren't you a free man? ”

"There is no particular reason to be a servant. If there's a noble reason, it's that Kerick helped my father, and I have to repay him. If I say it another way, it's that this bite of rice is easy to eat. In the end, Lobita didn't care about face, but said it all in one go, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"Really? I didn't expect him to be such a person. He must be respected by you, after all, he is the only head of your city-state's military power. ”

"You know who he is. I respect his character. But many people don't quite recognize his identity. His pickets were subordinate to the Kaiser garrison. As a garrison counselor, he was actually a middle- and lower-ranking officer in the Kaiser garrison. Some people hated him. Think he's a traitor. ”

"What about you?"

"I, I can't tell."

The two of them walked down the street, greeted the somewhat surprised eyes of the crowd around them, and chatted about these things with each other, and Jamila asked a little more about Dumar's specific situation, customs, as if she was not too familiar with Dumar himself, at this time, she would show a little humor at the right time to hide her ignorance of Dumar. But Lobita was vaguely aware of some peculiarities about Jamila in these conversations, of course, only in terms of knowledge.

Lobita will also introduce Jamila to some of the features that Dumar is proud of, or that are steeped in history, such as the 800-year-old city drainage, the famous artisanal workshops, and the trade street where the big merchants and aristocrats gathered. Seeing Jamila's curious childishness, he seemed to think that the Lori standing next to him was the little girl next door who often came to play with her. Lobita looked at her with a slight smile.

Soon, it was nearly noon, and even at this higher latitude, the sun was high in the sky, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road.

"It's over, I forgot something very important." Jamila, who was chewing a piece of pineapple in her mouth, suddenly slurred.

"Let's go, Lobita, I'm going to visit someone." Jamila walked forward without saying a word. Lobita sighed, it was already noon, so she hadn't been able to remember such an incident for a few hours before?

Lobita was now more and more curious about the mysterious girl, especially since she had made herself her servant for no reason. But due to the disparity in status, he was not embarrassed to ask anything directly, after all, he was just an ordinary civilian, and although the other party repeatedly explained that he was not special, he could still clearly feel the difference between the two. He doesn't respect "respect" and "cheap", especially in this commercial capital, the flow of status changes too fast, and things that get rich overnight and become poor happen every day. Moreover, the status of the nobility here is by no means once and for all, and the privileges are encroaching on day by day, which is a symbol of the embryonic capitalism in scholarly terms, but the lineage that has survived to this day is still influencing the area, and the influence of the old lineage has increased since the Kaiser court took over. He was just more defensive, if Jamila was a foreign nobleman, as a citizen of an occupied area, he naturally had to show respect for the nobles.

They crossed the busy commercial street, and then entered the gate that connected the urn city to the main city, where Jamila showed the violet badge, and the somewhat arrogant guards immediately let them through, although of course, Lobita was not surprised that she had such a thing.

The layout of the main city of Dumar is very different from that of the city of Urn, the commercial center of the city is two main streets that cross the city, there is no independent administrative area, and its functions are mainly commercial trade, as well as a resting place for nobles and adventurers from all over the world. The main city is strictly divided into trade areas, administrative areas, garrison areas, and residential areas. Distributed in a ring, the administrative district is located in the very center, which was once the Duma Council and the Grand Duke's Palace, and is now ruled by the governor sent by the Kaiser royal court. The garrison area was immediately outside, and its main component was the Violet cavalry, as well as a small garrison. Trade and residential areas are located at the more marginal and intersect, but the boundaries between settlements and trading points are strictly separated. Since this is a city located on a plain, no matter where you look at it, you will not be able to detect the location difference of these four layers of wrapping, but as long as you live here for a while, you can clearly appreciate the difference.

Jamila now walks along the avenue straight to the center. "Wait, Lord Jamila, you may be able to come and go freely, but the Security Treaty stipulates that all civilians in Dumar have absolutely no right to enter the garrison or even the district. I'm sorry, but I may not be able to travel with you. ”

"I'm not going to take you in either. However, you are now considered by some to be my cronies and the like, and if you are left here, you are dangerous, or rather, you are very likely to be on the streets. Jamila turned around and said in a flat tone.

"If it's a perceptive person, you will naturally know that I am a non-threatening person. If there is a fool who kills me because of this possibility, you will rejoice in the incompetence of your opponent, because you will have the upper hand. You won't take the initiative to warn me. Lobita, who has always maintained respect for Jamila, suddenly and unceremoniously pointed out the loopholes in her statement.

"You don't want to go to that place, I can understand that. However, you are my servant, and the first point of a servant is obedience. Seeing that the coercion could not be coerced, Jamila directly took out the identity of the owner to suppress Lobita, and this method seemed to be really rough and useful.

"That place is full of executioners of the Kaiser court, traitors who are good at flattery, and those merchants and new nobles who cling to the big tree of the Kaiser court." Lobita gritted his teeth, his chest heaving heavily, and after a long time, he reluctantly said, "You are now my master, and it is my duty to obey orders." I'll go with you. ”

"It looks like you've suppressed the anger in your heart." Jamila turned her head and walked straight towards the borough.

Looking at the short Jamila walking in front, Lobita sighed in her heart that the mysterious person she admired was really a Lori, and it was a Lori who didn't know what the real purpose was with a black belly. In the first few rounds of verbal confrontations, he was indeed at a disadvantage, and he could only turn around according to the other party's train of thought.

It seemed that the badge was indeed very useful, and the knights of the garrison knelt down on one knee when they saw her badge, which was a rite of etiquette for knights that only high-ranking officers and knights should exercise. Lobita even suspected that she was the high-ranking military attache of the Kaiser court. After all, her combat power looks impressive.

Soon they passed through the garrison, and Lobita took a good look at the defense configuration of the garrison, and imprinted these things in his mind, and he felt that in this way, he would not gain nothing.

The gates of the borough were more heavily censored, and even though Jamila showed the Violet badge, she and Lobita were still required to search their bodies with a magic device and found that they were not carrying dangerous items (Lobita, of course, wondered why Jamila's staff was missing) before letting them through.

The buildings in the borough were mostly opulent, and the original palace of the Grand Duke of Dumar was demolished and replaced by the Doge's Palace, which was also Baroque but much more restrained, probably because Emperor Kaiser did not allow his subordinates to have buildings beyond the specifications. In this way, the vast and empty square with its towering cathedral, its huge and solemn parliament building, and the Governor's Palace, the symbol of the center of power, pales in comparison.

Jamila's destination is this understated, no-frills building. In other words, it wasn't until she took Lobita straight towards the Doge's Palace that Lobita knew who she was looking for.

Just like its appearance, the configuration of the Governor's Palace is quite low-key, and one can't help but wonder if all the wealth amassed here by the Kaiser royal court was paid for the military. Of course, this is relatively low-key, and the interior still retains the jewels of Baroque architecture in general. But this is nothing compared to the Basilica of San Quito in Dumar.

"I'm sorry, but the Governor didn't allow this civilian to enter the inner chambers. Thank you for your understanding. The man who appeared to be the Governor's assistant stood at the door of the inner chamber, and with an apologetic face conveyed the Governor's wishes to Jamila.

"You told me to go and speak to the Governor myself." Jamila didn't want to talk to her assistant at all, and directly indicated who should be standing in front of her and talking.

Lobita stood aside, feeling really embarrassed, if it wasn't so unagreeable to let him into the Governor's Palace, then it would be too unreasonable to let him stand in the inner room and listen to Jamila and the Governor discuss some confidential matters. However, he could not intervene at all now, because this was not the place for him to speak, and he was not qualified to declare himself unqualified. It's miserable enough.

"Okay, then you take my words with you. That is, there must be a witness to this. If he does not agree, then the followers will do everything in their power to attack him, and it is not certain that his governorship will be guaranteed at that time. Jamila was a little angry, of course she knew that it was useless to threaten the assistant in front of her.

After the assistant left, Lobita asked Jamila in a low voice, "Lord Jamila, may I ask what is going on?" Witnesses or something, do you mean me? ”

"Yes, I have made you my servant, not just because I lack a servant. You just have to do what I say. Again, Jamila forcefully reaffirmed the so-called "servant vocation."

"If I'm of any use to you, I'm glad to do it." Lobita is also smart, and he realizes that this may be dangerous, but it may also be a sign that he will probably not have to "repay" Kerick anymore, but will have more room to develop. It seems that Jamila's expectations for him are more than just a temporary servant.

After a long time, the assistant came out at a trot: "The governor agreed." With that, he got out of the way and bent down to signal them to enter.

Walking through a corridor, they came to the location of the Governor, whose portrait was posted on the streets of the Urn City, and Lobita recognized the Governor at a glance, Marigok von Habsburg. It is the clan nobles of the Kaiser royal court, and the royal family that has truly lasted for thousands of years. I didn't expect to see someone who had defeated the Dumar army in my lifetime, and Lobita's emotion was greater than hatred.

"Hello, Your Excellency Amelia Candace. Please bring my blessings and prayers to the Moonblade Tiger God. Marigok greeted Jamila first.

"Hello, His Highness Marigok."

"No, no, no, I'm not the king's chosen person for a long time. You call me that a transgression of etiquette. Just call me by my name. Maligok humbly refused to be called Jamila.

"Let's call the Governor. You should know the purpose of my trip. ”

"It's hard for me to guess what you mean, I don't know the purpose of your trip, but I'd love to see you bring useful information." Maligok tactfully qualified the conversation.

"You and I both like to have straight conversations. So I'll tell you directly what I know - the arch-enemy of the Kaiser court, the Grand Duchy of Mikhail, has been coveting Dumar for a long time, and just a few days ago Duke Boris had made a plan to storm the city of Dumar, and even now, the Cossack cavalry is still rushing towards Dumar, and their infantry is ready. “

Hearing this, Marigok looked visibly stunned and incredulous. "But my sentinels didn't notice anything."

"You have reason to trust me." Jamila still had a very relaxed look, and as soon as Lobita next to him heard the news, he felt his brain buzz and go blank, he held the wall with his right hand and took several deep breaths before "holding back" his shock.

"So, what do you recommend?" Marigok quickly regained his senses, asking Jamila for more information, and gesturing for his assistant to gather all the generals.

"I propose to abandon Dumar, wait for the enemy to occupy Dumar, and then start a battle with the Cossacks in the field."

"Yes, the cavalry is not good at defending the city, and the enemy, as a mixed group of cavalry, has horse-drawn artillery and trebuchets. But it's not a good idea to abandon Dumar, so why don't we just go out of the city and meet the enemy? ”

"As long as your troops leave Dumar for one second, then the Dumar people will take up arms and resist the next. Rather than you being flanked from both sides, give the mess to the enemy. ”

Marigok was silent for a long time, carefully weighing the balance of forces in this war. In terms of equipment and training, the violet cavalry was definitely superior to the Cossacks - the Cossacks were a kind of military-civilian organization, they were constantly moving and grazing in peacetime, and moved with the pastures withering, because each of their male herdsmen kept their horses and weapons, and in wartime they gathered together to form a cavalry unit, and elected a leader with full leadership. And every warrior in Violet was a real knight, with his own grange land, which could provide a large number of sophisticated weapons on his own, and enjoyed good military training and cultural education, and the quality of the army was much higher than that of the Cossacks.

Lobita, who was standing on the side, although his face did not change, his heart had already exploded. Unexpectedly, this "hero" who saved the little boy was really a guest of the Kaiser royal court, and came to provide such important information to Marigok. He blamed himself deeply for his previous naivety.

"Indeed, the position of the Dumar people will be a very difficult issue in this war." Holding his chin with his left hand, Marigok aimed at Lobita: "You are probably the "witness" emphasized by His Excellency Amelia. ”

This is really nonsense, Marigok actually asked himself, and Lobita scolded secretly. Facing the other party's scrutinizing gaze, he forced his composure and said, "Your Excellency, I am the "witness" that Lord Amelia said, do you have any orders? ”

"As far as I understand it, you are a resident of the city of Dumar's urn, an entourage of picket captain Kerik, and your parents did not participate in the war against Emperor Kaiser. Very well, I'm sure you won't be very hostile to us at the very least. Then he said to Jamila: "I don't know who the Witnesses of Lord Amelia are, but I know about them. If you don't mind, I can introduce this poor teenager to one more job. I believe there will be no conflict with this identity. "It seems that this shrewd man has figured out Lobita's family history.

"Oh? What is the job? Jamila was also interested.

"Ah, I hope he will gather information about those traitors in Dumarne and pass it on to me in time. We need to rivet a nail all over Dumar, which is good for the prevention of the Dumar rebellion. We can't give up Dumar. ”

"How can you be sure of his loyalty?"

"Because I believe in your choice." Marigok smiled secretly: "I hope you agree." ”

Lobita is not averse to this, on the contrary, he would love to be able to take on the job. This means that he will have easier access to the rebels, and he may be able to enter and exit the military and even the administrative districts, which even Kerick and his pickets do not have the right to enter. In this way, he will be able to contribute to the uprising that may come next. After thinking about this, he no longer obsessed with Jamila assisting the Kaiser royal court, he still hoped that he could stay with Jamila for the time being, and get in touch with more Kaiser upper echelons, and he, Lobita, would contribute more to the liberation of his city-state.

"I have no objection. However, I have reservations that it is definitely not a good choice to occupy Dumar and fight. Jamila was a little disappointed that she was not able to persuade Maligok.

"It's an honor to share this information with you." Marigok stopped at the topic. In his opinion, he already had enough information.

"Due to the urgency of this visit, I did not bring a light greeting in a hurry, and I hope to forgive me for the inconsiderateness." Seeing that there was no hope of continuing the negotiations, Jamila also took a step back, ready to end the conversation.

"The intel you bring is the best gift." Marigok also gave a slight compliment.

……

"Hmph. This leprechaun is really scheming. Thought that giving me information would make me give up Dumar. I just need to get out of the city a second ago. In the next second, that person will be embraced as a leader, and then unite the rebels and make peace with the Mikhails. I'm not stupid, Dumar, I have to be under the control of the Violet Cavalry. Standing on the windowsill on the third floor of the Governor's Palace, Mari Goke stared fiercely at the two figures in the distance and said.
