"Ahem, can the stubborn lust for power reawaken memories that allow for rebirth? It may be too difficult, so heavy that I don't know what to do, and the comfort of occasional leisure is also uncomfortable with self-trouble. However, "

Mr. Rum, who had mixed feelings, leaned against the side of the low wall and muttered to himself, muttering from time to time with a smile of indifference, but also laughing with contempt for himself, his right hand pinched the jagged jaw, and tightened the unknown emotion that was ready to be released, but suddenly hid in the long sleeve of his left arm, widening the acuff to accommodate it.

But how to appease the state of boiling blood? Count, please put away the dagger you have drawn, so that the time required for mapping is within the range I can dodge, and of course you can try! ”

The chaotic mind, the vision obscured by the vine-like curls, directly denied my seemingly perfect plan, and I could only insert the handle of the knife back into the leather boot again, even if it was a kind of self-confidence that could not hold on after being threatened!

"Huh? The prey that fled in a hurry under the sharp eagle's eyes, trembling and unable to take care of himself, it seems that you are not an old hunter who is hungry! ”

A stone thrown by Siqi brushed Rum's extended curls and hit the slate behind him, and a strong sound echoed through the entire space. Deliberately hitting the wrong direction can be regarded as saving face for my cowardice, but it is also a mockery with the same charm.

"There is no need for such an awkward atmosphere, I know that it will be easy for you to escape from this seemingly impregnable prison. But why choose an embarrassing jailbreak? Isn't it more calm to take a leisurely stroll? ”

"Oh? Did the warden say there would be a more convenient green lane? It's a pity we don't have a special pass! There is not even a defense that allows to be released from prison. ”

Shiro complains about the dust on his clothes, while he sticks to the walls and paints the monotonous colors. The ants who climb along the crevices to the exit are turned away by the human factor again and again. Si Qi watched everything, wiping his hands against the inexplicable chill, and ignored Mr. Rum's advice.

"So, does the Count like unpaid gambling?"

"Well, that would be more reasonable, isn't it? No, at least donating can still get a good reputation, and worthless gambling is a waste of time. ”

Warden Rum pulled out the keys, marked with a variety of colors, some of which had been corroded and almost lost their prototypes, but still made a crisp sound in the collision.

"Does the Count want to gamble? You win in the singular, I let you leave gracefully, I win in the even, I don't interfere with the violence you are going to use. ”

"Oh? The all-or-nothing riddle turned out to be a mystery without suspense, and I don't seem to have a full reason to deny it. Well, I choose the singular! ”

Warden Rum put the keychain in front of my eyes, slid them one by one, and the eyes of the foul could only rely on the ears to make up for the accuracy of the positioning information, ten, eleven, sixteen, twenty-one, stopped. Shaking his head, he opened his eyes in delight, only to find that Mr. Rum had the last one between his fingers.

"Okay, maybe my inspiration isn't sharp or precise, but I still have to admit my failures."

Mr. Rum clenched the keychain in both hands and twisted it so hard that the rusty one broke completely and fell to the ground without even a reverberation.

"No, it's the Earl who wins, the old locks that have long been abandoned want to control humanity in a few decades, and it may be a better choice to eliminate the old will than to perish."

Warden Rum lightly touched the majestic fence, and after a violent repulsion, it was opened lightly. The expected escape ended in an unimagined way.

"Wait, so easily let go of the important suspect, aren't you afraid of some pressure to reduce the guilt?"

Shiro stood in front of me, questioning the too bizarre process.

"I have already tried your crimes, and any attempted conspiracy is a blind spot in the law in my country, confined to the laws set by ourselves, and that is the real terrible cage, but we are already in it."

There was a slight sadness in Mr. Rum's eyes, which reminded me of the story told by Shiro, and through the corner of the glimmer I saw the tattoo of a falcon in the loose cuff that had been released.

"Si Qi, Bai, you go out to investigate first, maybe this is a trap to lure us to relax our vigilance."

"Count, you're just that"

Before the words fell, Bai was lifted out of the dark prison by Si Qi, and now he should have been bathed in the rising sun, perhaps the scorching sun of noon. In a lonely space, only two people are left in silence. Rum shook his hair and lit the reloaded cigarette gun, a face that had been vicissitudes of life but not as handsome, and not as old as his voice.

The lonely emptiness always needs to be torn apart by one party, and as a guest at home, I don't mind the anti-customer-oriented active attack.

"Now, Mr. Rum, you must be a member of the Smick family too! Familiar with Shiro's nickname, skillful memories of regulations, and the mark engraved on your left arm that you will never be able to erase, the falcon of the Smick family. ”

"Falcon? Now I am afraid that I am not as good as a poultry, and I can still live in a certain corner of the world, and it should be a luxury to live a life of hiding in fear! Ten years ago, I was expelled from my home for rebellion, and I revised my family tree, which was a coincidence in the middle of nowhere. I have not seen many people since then, but the wailing ghosts are accustomed to it, the invincible bandits, the petty criminals who deceive the world and steal their reputations, they have been here for a long time and are obedient and obedient, but they sincerely admire the earl, and he deserves to be the youngest holder of real power. I struggled, only this poison could keep me awake, but how afraid I was of the bloody truth! ”

Rum sucked hard, but a violent cough burst out.

"Is it a poison that acts as a sleeping agent? A moderate amount of hoarding will not make you terminally ill and powerless to save, but self-abandonment is an unsympathetic sorrow, don't you want to return to the country? Restore your Smik family to power and kick the usurper from the throne! ”

"That's what the Earl is talking about, the powerful power of the Cologne Dynasty, the resources that can be called upon should be inexhaustible! But I'm just a down-and-out nobleman, and my existence isn't even recorded in the genealogy, so do I need shameless adventures? ”

'Whew! A slap slap on Rum's face, leaving a bright red finger mark.

"Do you have to give up at the slightest setback? What have you experienced, betrayal? Blood? Or was it an accident? You have nothing! Power is to be fought for, and what awaits can only be birth, old age, sickness and death. Question your laws, why don't you try to be a reviser of the law, and only shake your head and sigh. In the deep mountain behind you, how many crises are lurking, how many people want to seize this beautiful country and achieve the great cause of a hegemon! ”

Rum wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, grinning and gasping for breath.

"Aren't you one of them? He even encouraged himself as a potential enemy! ”

"I am a foreign earl, and it only takes a strong military force to conquer the land, but it is not possible to conquer people's hearts. This is your territory, not our homeland, and you alone have dominion! ”

Pick up Rum's smoking gun, the workmanship is very exquisite, the carved pattern is vivid, like an eagle entrenched on a lonely tower, laughing at the giant python that can only wriggle.

"It was a relic left to me by my grandfather before he died, he was idle at home, living a rich but ordinary life, it was ridiculous, he gave up his greatest power, played with the children, and even laughed heartily when he was teased by the children."

Rum, who was thinking about it, smiled innocently, recalling a beautiful moment that may be unique in his heart. I pulled out my hands, and the intricate veins meant that day was still far away.

"Earl, since it's not land grabbing, how can it be considered colonization?"

"The source of colonization lies in the people, and as long as they can control the people who move, they can control their roots. Along the way, you discover that the position of the Smick family in the hearts of the people has not yet been shaken, and even has some sympathy for the sudden downfall, which of course benefited from the propaganda organized by the pope at the time, the indispensability of imperial power. Now the various warlords who are hiding secrets, except for the descendants of the troops that Olis can control, the rest of them have their own ghosts, looking for wandering members of the Smick family among the people, and secretly protecting them, as a leader who can be used, a symbol of conquest or a gift of surrender. ”

"Establish a puppet regime? The man behind the support of power is the real overlord who sits on power! The Earl already has a crush on him! ”

"No, I just found it!"

Rum retrieved the snuff from my hand and whispered to the rhythm of spitting.

"Count means me? But I don't think I'm a good puppet, and I don't wag my tail at my master to get enough food. Ahem! ”

"There has never been a puppet in my eyes, and there will always be pretentious do-gooders who jump out of the crowd to preside over the so-called justice, and then everything will become a bubble. The integration of culture and nationality is the guarantee of long-term interests! I think Mr. Rum should understand what I mean. ”

Mr. Rum pondered, struggling over and over again. Unable to interrupt his thoughts, he turned and walked towards the exit.

"Hey, Smik Moment! How do I contact you? ”

"Oh, Smick? All the way to the north, the imperial capital of the Turan Kingdom, the city of Asami is our destination, and everywhere we go, I am afraid that we will be able to leave a whirlpool that cannot restore calm immediately! ”

The sun is shining on the body, the blood vessels are about to start to expand, and it's time to bring the revenge of the cold to the clown at the end of some scenes.
