Gradually, the light from the sky disappeared, and the night was like an inky velvet, silently obscuring the horizon. The darkness was like a relentless dungeon, imprisoning all the joy and happiness of the world, and the charr became more and more violent in the silence.

Countless stars in the sky are radiating phosphorus-colored brilliance, weaving into a brilliant pattern. In this glimmer of light, he saw a red-haired man walk out of the gate of the Secretariat, and Charles followed him quietly, like a cat in the night, silently.

When they came to a silent alleyway, Charles stopped him, and when the man turned around, Charles realized that he wasn't Hank's damn guy.

The man clearly saw the sword in Charles's hand, he raised his hand, and said with a look of horror: "I am just a clerk, the only valuable thing on me is my clothes, I will take it off and give it to you if you want, please don't hurt me." ”

Charles glared at him, "Get out, I recognized the wrong person." ”

When he heard this, he turned his head and ran without hesitation, not even wanting to pick up his shoes, and Charles looked down on such a coward without looking at him, and turned around and walked towards the hotel.

Charles's anger had almost worn off after the farce just now, and it was too late to go back and stop Hank, and now that the curfew was about to begin, it wasn't fun to be caught by the city guards.

He returned to the hotel. As in other inns, the "organ" was brightly lit at this time, the men sat together holding their glasses as if they could not finish talking, the lute in the corner played cheerfully and loudly, and the "maids" walked around table by table, laughing from time to time.

In such an environment, Charles's depression and unhappiness for a day quickly vanished.

He suddenly had an urge to pull the woman aside and get to know her well, but he finally killed his ridiculous idea.

He asked for a broth, a few pieces of white bread, and a portion of butter, and sat down in the corner and ate it to himself. The girls in the hall must have heard that he was a "decent gentleman" and did not bother him, which made Charles feel stunned.

Just as the charr was about to finish eating, a group of city guards in armor rushed in, and a man hid behind them and pointed at the charr from afar.

Charles realized something was wrong when he saw the man, and sure enough, the group of soldiers came up to him, and a man dressed as a captain said to him arrogantly: "Sir, you are suspected of attempting to rob the citizens of the Empire, and now we need you to come with us." I hope you don't do anything stupid, our swords don't have long eyes! “

Charles looked at the red-haired man hiding behind them, he didn't even dare to look at Charles at the moment, and Charles couldn't help but disdain him even more.

He turned to the captain of the city guard and said, "I'm sorry sir, but I'm a nobleman of the Empire, do you think a nobleman would do anything like robbery?" The so-called robbery is just his words, and I'm sure you'll be able to understand it. “

Although Charles had only been in the city for a day, he had already understood how to deal with them, and as soon as Charles had finished speaking, he quietly stuffed the captain with a few dinars. Although he did it very secretly, the people around him obviously saw it, but they didn't say anything, and it was obvious that everyone was used to this kind of thing.

The captain grinned his mouth, revealing a row of yellow teeth: "My lord, this is not enough, I don't think your words are enough to convince all of us. “

Charles looked at the insatiable bastard in front of him, who only had the last six dinars in his pocket. But if Charles doesn't give it to him, he will definitely be taken away by them, and then he probably won't be able to keep the little money he has left.

So Charles quietly stuffed two dinars into him, but he still shook his head, and just smiled and said, "It's not enough, it's not enough, sir." “

Charles almost wanted to shine on his self-righteous face, but reason told him that if he did, it would be irreparable. So Charles smiled similarly, left the last dinar, and stuffed the rest to him.

"You see, you and your subordinates understand that people like us don't do anything like that, and it's all false accusations from people with ulterior motives, isn't it, sir?"

He laughed so hard that he almost didn't grin to the root of his ears: "That's right, my lord, a noble person like you would never do such a thing, all this is the slander of that bastard, we will teach him a good lesson for you." Eat well, my lord, we take our leave. “

Charles watched them carry the man out of the hotel like chickens, and if nothing else, they could knock a hard shot on the man.

Although Charles was helpless about the current situation, he unconsciously rejoiced at the thought that his nobility would be recognized by the empire by tomorrow at the latest.

At this moment, a man carrying a wine bottle walked up to him, and a puff of wine came to his nose.

"You shouldn't have given them that much money, two dinars at most would be enough to send them away wagging their tails."

Charles looked at him puzzled, and he smiled: "It's okay, the loss you just made is considered tuition." Child, you have to learn to observe that what kind of person is worth what price, and you can't pay for a bag of bacon just to buy a bag of brown bread. ”

He paused: "Those guys just now are just a bunch of dogs wagging their tails, since you are a nobleman, there is no need to give them so much, they will never dare to blackmail you wantonly after knowing that you are a noble." It is because of your compromise that they think you are weak and deceitful, I just saw that you wanted to beat him, he was absolutely scared enough, if you beat him, you would only have to pay a few septins for the medical bills, not more golden dinars. Know that you are an aristocrat, an aristocrat above the law! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it as if there was something of value in front of him. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Charles felt that he was absolutely right, which made him feel extremely embarrassed because it made him feel stupid.

So, although Charles didn't like it very well when others taught him in such a tone, he said politely: "Thank you for informing me, sir, I have benefited me a lot, and I haven't asked you yet?" ”

He held up the wine bottle and smiled mysteriously at Charles: "William. Boston, I'm a businessman. ”
