"Petro, isn't there a friend who hasn't arrived?" Hathaway interjected.

"yes, why didn't this guy Popper come today? Isn't something wrong? "Petro. Hughes understood Hathaway's intentions and quickly changed the subject.

"What can he do now? Every day he slept until almost lunch, and in the afternoon he either roamed the streets to pick quarrels and provoke troubles or fooled around in bars, and the old Dirouet did not give him any pocket money except for three meals a day, hoping that he would be able to return to the border guards by himself. "Shalai. Custer sighed.

"It's not so scary to be a border guard, is it? Pooper is also a silver swordsman, if he joins the border guards and accumulates military merits, he may not be worse than his father in the future, right? "Petro. Hughes asked.

"Humph! The border guards are not so easy to mix, there have been no big wars in the past few years, small wars have continued, whether it is the orcs or the Molaika Empire, they are eyeing the empire, especially those orcs, they are eager for human wealth, food and women, and under the stimulation of this desire, their combat effectiveness has increased exponentially. You haven't been to the front line, and those barren fortresses and bones all over the mountains will tell you that war is not as good as you imagined! "Shalai. Custer's face showed a slight look of vicissitudes.

"For what empire should be tolerated? Just let them wreak havoc? Hathaway asked.

"Tolerance? Hum! ”

Shalai. Custer shook his head disdainfully, and said a little rebelliously: "This empire is just like our emperor's majesty, old and decrepit. ”

Can you criticize the emperor so publicly?

Hathaway subconsciously glanced around, fortunately everyone in this bar had their own little circle. I don't care about other people's conversations.

Petro. Hughes shook his head and said, "I'm not saying how wise His Majesty the Emperor is, but it's fair to say that the reason why the empire is like this is not the fault of one person. In the empire, those grand dukes each occupy one side, forming a semi-divided force, almost completely disobeying the dispatch of His Majesty, and there are strong enemies outside. Surrounded by aliens, there is constant turmoil...... It all says ......"

"It means that this empire is rotten!"

Shalai. Custer slammed the table and said bitterly, "I have no family like me. People who are unable to practice martial arts and magic. is destined to live a mediocre life as a small clerk, unless there is some sudden miracle, which can change the trajectory of life that has long been delineated by the goddess of fate. ”

"Miracles are everywhere, even gods. Nor can it plan the trajectory of a person's life. Hathaway said disapprovingly.

"That's right. Shalai. I don't think anyone is destined to be unlucky. ”

Petro. Hughes pun intended: "What we are doing now is someone else to give us a good way, but we may not have no chances." Jump out of the circle and get outside. ”

"Jumping out of the loop? I'm a realistic person, and it's better not to pin our hopes on those ethereal fantasies. ”

Shalai with a frustrated face. Custer didn't pay attention to the implication of his words, and he looked out with a complicated gaze...... The sun sets, the clouds that reflect the sky are purple, the sunset of different light and shade is constantly changing the appearance and color under the illumination of the purple red sun, at a glance, the clouds are steaming, quite spectacular.

A stout figure appeared at the door of the bar, and he glanced inside the bar and walked towards the Hathaway table.

"Hey, honorable miss, I'm Popper. Dirouet, Petro's best friend. What do you call it...... Uh, by the way, you're not Petro's girlfriend, are you? The strong man strode over to the table and introduced himself to Hathaway with a smile on his face.

"Hathaway. Bel. ”

Hathaway introduced herself very graciously, "I'm Petro's friend, but not his girlfriend. ”

"Sit down, Popper, you don't stand a chance."

Petro. Hughes stood up and angrily moved Popper. Drue leaned into his chair and snapped his fingers at the bar's waiter to add a large glass of tequila.

"Haluha, Miss Bell, you are your first time in Heidelberg, I will be your guide when I have time, there is no place here that I am not familiar with." Puper. Dirouet was very enthusiastic and authentic.

"Popper, don't mess around, where have you gone?" Petro. Hughes, fearing that Hathaway would be angry, interrupted his courtesy.

"Hey, I'm late, but it's because of a piece of news."

Puper. Dirouet took the wine glass from the waiter, took a big sip, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "You haven't heard of this news. ”

"Come on, don't make excuses for us."

Shalai. Custer didn't pay attention to the other party's explanation, and took a big sip from his wine glass, "We haven't heard of it, but we must have guessed it, let's say, who are you fighting again?" ”

"You're a thief with these eyes."

Puper. Di Rue rubbed a blue spot on his cheekbones in embarrassment: "Shalai, you guy is really not interesting, you can't save me some face in front of Miss Bell." ”

"Humph! You are embarrassed to say that since this kind of thing can't be put on the table, you should restrain yourself. If you really have too much energy, then you can go back to the border guards, there is definitely a place for you. ”

"Yes, Popper, if you keep going like this, you won't have to be stepped on by others, and you will destroy yourself yourself. Are you going to mess around like this? ”

"So what? I'm not like you who deal with financial statements and administrative matters, and I'm afraid my only way out is to lie on the side of the road and be a beggar, or go to the frontier battlefield and become a skeleton. "Puper. Dirouet's expression was a little gloomy and his mood was also low.

"Popper, is something going on?" Shalai. Custer asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's not my business."

Puper. Custer sighed, "Probably because those orcs had enough to eat, they suddenly attacked Fort Hasf in Zimbwe Province at the end of last month, and all the garrison defenders were killed, and the population, livestock, and supplies were looted; Almost at the same time, the Molaika Empire also attacked, and although it quickly returned to the defense after the attack, it eliminated more than 500 defenders and suffered unprecedented losses. ”

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings." Petro. Hughes sighed, and everyone was speechless for a moment.

In the history of the Ostiga Empire, the time of Fivinel XVIII was a time full of legends.

When the assassination of Fivenel XVII, almost all of the neighboring countries believed that the Otiga Empire was about to split again.

Regardless of the outcome this time, as long as the political situation in the Otiga Empire can be unstable, it is what other countries want.

A unified and powerful Otiga empire is something that the rest of the continent does not want, especially when the country shows a strong desire to conquer.

The other countries of the continent are always trying to do everything they can to destabilize the Otiga Empire, from internal divisions and divisions to external invasion and harassment.

The means have been exhausted, but they have never been able to prevent the unification of the whole country and the integration of the nations.

As the neighboring nations prepare for a feast of celebration for the possible re-division of the Otiga Empire, Mr. Eastwood steps onto the stage of history.

Mr. Eastwood, who came from the Academy, changed his usual mild-mannered and humble style, and ruthlessly swept away the rebels.

The Boulevard du Royale was a bustling and bustling place for the aristocracy, but it was the most turbulent place in April 836.

All the nobles who participated in the rebellion were killed, and even the slightest knowledge and suspicion were not spared, and blood was shed all the time on the Imperial City Avenue throughout April.

Countless illustrious families with a long history were wiped out during that time, and the gallows and guillotines did not stop working in April.

Even the newborn baby was not spared by Mr. Eastwood, who was dealt with in what he called gentle. Some 278 children were buried directly in the grave in a tailor-made coffin, and among the nobles slaughtered, two were Grand Dukes, members of the Fivinlie family.

During that month, the Imperial City Avenue lost seventy percent of its residents. Local aristocrats who were considered to have a part in the region were also purged.

At that time, Mr. Eastwood's power could be said to be single-handed, and even if he wanted to usurp the throne, no one dared to oppose it. However, he never thought of it this way, and only faithfully fulfilled his promise to His Majesty the Seventeenth on his deathbed.

But even the mightiest trunk will eventually weaken, and Mr. Eastwood's strong means to suppress all the unstable factors in the country does not mean that these unstable factors disappear, and after a long fermentation, these unstable factors have become stronger, and with the aging of Mr. Eastwood and Fivinley XVIII, those unstable factors have become more active...... Not only did the surrounding neighboring countries try their minions on this aging lion from time to time, but the great nobles in the country also began to semi-openly provoke the royal family, and the entire empire was shrouded in an atmosphere of unease, and the aging emperor could not come up with any solution, and many of these people were worried.

Of course, when Shalai. Custer and others are worried about their own future and future.

"Listen,"

After a long silence, Petro. Hughes suddenly said, "Shalai, Popper, you don't need to be so pessimistic. You stand in Heidelberg and look around, there is a wall in the way, and the farthest view you can see is the distance from you to the wall. But if you climb the walls or leave Heidelberg, you will find that the world is much wider outside. ”

"Petro, you mean you want us to leave Heidelberg?" Shalai. Custer's eyes flashed.

"Miss Bell is about to inherit the hereditary title of earl, and there is also a territory. She needs a lot of talent, and if you're interested, we might as well talk about it. "Petro. Hughes reintroduced. (To be continued......)
