-

Opal does know him well.

What a rare thing in itself.

It's a pity that Mo Shi can't be happy about this at the moment.

"I'm trying to change that habit. Mo Shi replied softly.

"Isn't that bad now?"

"Not good. Mo Shi shook his head, "Without sacrifice, there is no career." It seems that some people in this world just have to choose to treat other people's lives as if they were a mustard, otherwise history cannot ......"

"Because you are an apostle, do you have to be 'that kind of person'?"

“...... Yes. ”

"But that hurts you?"

Mo Shi slowly put his fingers into his hair, pressed his aching head, and whispered, "Yes." ”

He was unrobed here, curled up in a chair, as thin as a child.

Opal looked at him silently.

"I understand...... Opal whispered, "I understand what you want to accomplish through the letters and what you are doing. I know that neither the King nor Scarlet Foot approve of the plan to clean up the river, but you think it is necessary. I don't think you're wrong in your theory, that if people want to live a better life, animal husbandry and agriculture must be developed, and that the great river basins, especially near the lower estuary, are undoubtedly the most suitable land and should be developed. ”

"It's often said that theorists and practitioners are usually not the same people," Mo Shi said with a wry smile, "and obviously I'm not good at the latter." ”

"But you're doing well, Moshi, you're doing well. ”

Opal took two steps forward on his knees, closer to Moshi.

"You're doing a great job right now. You spent the fall and winter in the Southlands, letting people know about your existence and willing to believe in you, and then putting them through the Flood. And in this case, the Scarlet Feet will go to the central government and ask the king, invoking the law of state relief in the Code, that the king is obliged to contribute money and help after approving the restoration of the disaster, and the king expects the Scarlet Feet to give in to him, and you know that is what the king wants to see—"

Opal looked at him and smiled.

Moshi has a strange feeling. It had been a long time since he had been comforted like this.

It seems that the role he plays does not allow him to show weakness or ignorance -

In fact, Mo Shi is just an ordinary person who is easily shaken.

"Mo Shi, you want Scarlet Foot to ask you to take care of the river, I guess you may think it's too willful, but you're not wrong. You're not their child, you're not obligated to help them, 'if the gold was cheap, no one would care', and sometimes it's necessary to raise your value, and you don't have to blame yourself for it. ”

In terms of origin, Opal Zirconia may be a little better than Moshi. But in general, they are all born to be vassals, in the middle of the social pyramid.

So Opal was really able to understand him.

"You're not downwind anywhere. Opal then complimented, "You will lack nothing in terms of people's support or moral superiority, as well as the king's and the manpower and material resources of the king." ”

Mo Shi nodded.

"In this way, Moshi Yeyao, the master of Chipping City, although you don't have thousands of family wealth and millions of soldiers, you have everyone's expectation and respect, which is enough for you to govern a river, isn't it?"

That's exactly what Moshi intended.

But Opal's overly boastful and praising tone made him laugh and find it funny.

Seeing him smile, Opal's expression relaxed.

He gently paddled the empty wheel on his chest and blessed Mo Shi.

"Then again......" Mo Shi looked around.

This is the Silvercastle that belongs to the Chipping City, and the Goldmane Age has left behind a flourishing decoration and many crystal and gemstone products. But it's not without traces of opals – Moshi thinks the desk must have been a new addition.

"Is the tax collection going well this year?" he asked.

Opal nodded: "We have properly entertained the inspectors sent by the central government, and the tax situation has also successfully reached the standard." A small amethyst mine was discovered last fall, and the gemstone produced was in good condition, you may want to check it out. ”

"Remember to send jewellery to the king and queen. ”

"There will be no slip of the question, rest assured, and follow the old rules exactly - the Duke of Goldmane has never been negligent in currying favor with the King. ”

"Yes, you're better at these than I am. Mo Shi smiled and rubbed the corners of his eyes, and his body stretched again, but then he seemed to remember something that bothered him even more, and his eyebrows drooped again, "There is one more thing." ”

"What is it?"

"About, uh, about Duna. ”

Opal, who was short, sat cross-legged on the carpet. He relaxed, knowing that the next topic would be under control, and had anticipated that Moshi would roughly say how strange annoyances he didn't think were worth mentioning.

Just this spring, Duna experienced her first period of childbearing. Mo Shi was a little embarrassed, but he talked about it in a calm and objective tone.

Opal nodded.

"So, you didn't want her?" asked Opal, tactfully and bluntly.

"How can I—" Mo Shi was a step late to realize that the other party was joking, and stopped and sighed.

"At first I thought your trouble was about status and money, but now you don't have that problem. Speaking of this," Opal looked like he was going to take out a bunch of papers from somewhere, but after thinking about it, he still sat on the carpet, "There are quite a few people who have asked if Earl Yeyao is married, and some of them I think are suitable candidates, I have written down their names, and I am waiting for you to come back and see." ”

"What?" Mo Shi was taken aback. He hadn't thought about it at all.

The inability of the so-called "new generation of humans" suffering from elfism is also a dramatic decline in sexual drive. And after he came here, he was even more busy with the low-level life needs and safety needs, and he had no spare mood to strive for a higher level of pleasure.

"But if you tell me that you have given all your life to God, and have no intention of being on earth, I will also understand and reject those requests for marriage. ”

In the snowwalker norm, clergy who join the church can also take a wife. However, only one wife was allowed, and mistresses were not allowed to be included in the pursuit of pleasure.

"You're right, so don't talk about me. "I want to talk about Duna, whether I should consider the marriage for her - it seems that the masters are obliged to arrange the marriage of their servants?"

Opal sighed briefly.

Really, sometimes he also felt that the questions asked by Mo Shi were as if he was a child who didn't understand the world at all.

"The marriage of a servant requires the consent of the master, of course, Mo Shi. So, you think it's time to get a husband for Duna, don't you? You're right, but I thought Duna knew you didn't have any common sense in this area, so she'd tell you what to do instead of bothering you. ”

"Stop taunting me, and it's certainly not her fault. ”

"That's right. In general, valet maids do not marry very early, they always marry a little later because of the needs of their masters. She's obviously thinking the same way, so maybe she hasn't even thought about what you're thinking about herself. ”

"......" Mo Shi obviously didn't think about this, a little stunned, and then he pondered, "But if it's ......"

"Let's put it this way. Generally speaking, marriage is chosen within the confines of the servant's homeland or the master's servants, but there are too few, too few, too few people to follow you," Opal stressed, "so you don't have many choices." Unless you count the servants who are now serving in the Silverhold. ”

Mo Shi shook his head.

"Long tail. He said.
