The single-family villa in the imperial capital must have a garden, but limited to the construction area, this garden is actually not very large, and the metal railings clinging to the vines block the view from the outside.

It's dreamy, with flowering vines wrapped around metal railings, green grasses and sparse trees, cleverly arranged to resemble natural tree growth, dotted with hardwoods, including sugar maple, hooked vines climbing many trunks, and berry bushes dotting the open areas between the trees.

A well-groomed path runs through the garden, flanked by aforementioned berry bushes, and a few benches along the road allow visitors to pause, rest and even pick some berries to eat.

I have to say that these horticulturists with skill levels are indeed quite powerful, but they are just small gardens covering an area of hundreds of square meters, and under the highlighting of the layering, it really looks like they are in the forest.

Lu and Carla sat on a bench and talked to each other about the little things in life.

Sometimes, just passing like this makes people feel at peace, without having to say anything special or think about anything else.

That's it.

But these trifles didn't last long, and after about twenty minutes, Kara had nothing more to say.

I really can't find a topic, I can't talk about daily trivial matters anymore, and now the communication between the two sides has completely become an awkward chat, and I can only talk about anything awkwardly, and then the two sides look at each other and are silent.

Then, I awkwardly changed the next topic, from whether the things were delicious, how the quilt in the room was, and whether the clothes looked good, all the way to how the body was and what the weather was.

Each topic lasts a few sentences, and most of them are similar to:

"The fabric of this garment...... It's the blue rainbow butterfly I caught earlier. ”

"Really...... It's pretty good. ”

“……”

“……”

The two of them couldn't talk about anything for a long time, but they were still racking their brains to find new topics, especially Kara, the black dragon didn't even have the energy to maintain the round pupils, and returned to the vertical pupils of dragons, and the vertical pupils were constantly shrinking and enlarged, which meant that she had been thinking, and even possibly used skills!

But even so, Carla found that she didn't seem to be able to find a suitable plan, just now, she had switched back and forth between co-ordination 3, speech 3, aristocracy 3, observation of words and feelings 3, and even negotiation 3, negotiation 3, persuasion 3, and even charm 3!

But these were of no use, and she found that, even in the midst of the simultaneous increase in negotiation, negotiation, persuasion, and speech, she could not say anything nutritious, and all the words became dry when they came to her mouth, which made the dragon so angry that her tail was not tucked into her skirt, but flicked on the ground.

She tried very hard to control her strength, otherwise the foundation would have been dug out by her tail.

And Lu En's side was not much better, he suddenly found that he seemed to ...... I've never done this before.

Doesn't he know the embarrassment of the current situation? It is clear that he understands the current state of affairs very well, but how to solve it?

When asked him, he only spread his hands and closed his eyes: "I don't know!" ”

I really don't know, everything seems to be very pale, any communication seems to be useless, he doesn't know where to put his hands, but he can't help but talk awkwardly.

If the awkward conversation stops, the two people will sit together, and they won't know what to do.

After a while, it seemed that even Kara couldn't find a topic, and the two finally faced each other in silence, without saying a word, just looking at each other.

Then, they stood up very tacitly and got along as usual.

The breeze was blowing gently, Lu En didn't go out to run around in the morning, he took out some of the information and paperwork he had accumulated recently, and sat in the living room to deal with it, including Anluo's population, policies, and all kinds of reports and matters that he took for nothing, and he needed to make decisions one by one, and make up his mind, and then sort it out and then hand it over to others to deal with.

Kara started doing the housework, but passed by Lu En more than usual, and other than that, not much changed.

It's just that there is more sight and more attention that I didn't have before.

Because, just by staring, she felt that she had lost the courage to reach out at once, and could only look at the other person's back with a moist gaze, even though he was busy with paperwork.

Lu En's lunch was not eaten here, he had a meeting in the afternoon, he had to go to the Hall of Glow to make some necessary preparations for his caravan, including various commercial cooperation, cement authorization, and a negotiation.

Kara, on the other hand, prepares dinner at home, and he will probably not return until after dusk.

"I won't necessarily come back for dinner, you can settle it yourself first." Lu En said before leaving.

Kara didn't reply, just nodded.

He soon came to the manor of the person in charge of the Glow Hall, this is a formal meeting, it should be in the business building, but the Glow Hall still has a manor in the imperial capital, no way, they are too rich, the business building is a manor, and a person in charge can have it, which means that they have dozens of such manors.

The gardens of the Hall of Glows Manor are planted with lavender, which exudes a burst of fragrance, and the midday sun shines all over the rooftops, making the white and red houses even more imposing and taking on a gorgeous purple-red appearance.

Before entering the house, just after getting rid of the rich aroma of lavender, you can smell a refreshing smell, which smells like the smell of dew on a spring morning.

Guided by the waiter, he walked into the house, the wind chimes on the walls made a pleasant jingling sound, and the interior was very ordinary, not like a princess's house, but more like a country cottage.

Through a long corridor, the walls of the corridor are hung with some wooden picture frames, which are decorated with some precious stones, which seem to be just to show these gems that are already considered works of art, because there is nothing but gems in them, and there is a gem in one frame, about forty or fifty picture frames, and there are many types.

As a scholar, Lu En was of course well-informed, and he glanced at it and found that there were diamonds from the volcano, pearls from Port Lambton, jadeites from Starrag, and green agate from Vondu Mountain, each of which had an almost perfect geometric shape, no matter how you looked at it, it was a treasure, worthy of the wealth of the Hall of Radiance.

The negotiation went smoothly and there were not too many twists and turns, after all, this is a matter that is beneficial to both sides, but it is necessary to argue on some details of the distribution of interests.

The person in charge of the Hall of Radiance, after tearing the skin, sincerely invited Lu En to have dinner with him.

This is a matter of course, it is normal to have a meal after business talks, and it seems impersonal to refuse.

So Lu En agreed.

The meal was very luxurious, and all kinds of special ingredients made Lu En sigh at the amount of money that the Imperial people put into enjoyment.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, but Lu En didn't drink, so he didn't get drunk, just took two sips.

When the wine table was gone, and the others left, he packed up his things and left, and went out into the street.

After the dance party dispersed, there was a group of ragged children, waiting in the dark streets.

Scavengers...... Or rather, beggar...... They waited until the end of the aristocratic drinking party, and then appeared in large numbers, taking the garbage that the nobles had thrown on the street and pawning it for some food.

What is garbage to the nobility is a treasure to them, after all, they simply cannot afford to feed themselves.

There are a lot of things that are discarded, many of them are disposable, such as wine bottles, some tin foil or gold leaf, broken cutlery, decorations on meals, etc., and the nobles put candles on the cake tree, it does not mean that they will eat these candles, so they have to be thrown away in the end.

They waited eagerly for the servants to throw the garbage out of the back streets, but the most valuable ones, such as gold leaf or silver cutlery with two corners missing, had long since been picked up by the servants who had cleaned up the mess, and there were no half-lit candles left.

But even then, the remaining ones are a lot of money for them.

Lu En looked at them and didn't say anything, he put on his coat, picked up his cane, and while waving his hand, he inadvertently dropped three or four silver coins into the garbage heap in the back street, through that section of darkness, and then walked onto the streets of the imperial capital,

On the streets of the imperial capital, it is brilliant and magnificent, and it is beautiful.

Villas are built one after another, the beautiful buildings and greenery make it impossible to take your eyes off them, the magic lights light up the whole avenue, and except for some backstreets where no one goes, the existence of night is almost invisible.

Yes, when you walk out of the darkness, you will not see the darkness.

Walking through the streets of the imperial capital, he saw many beauties, many, many, and many of them, including elves, monsters, and even demons, and of course, the most of them were humans.

Their touching and luxurious costumes look as if they were woven from the fabric of a dream, with different postures and different temperaments.

The elves' milky white skin and pale pink lips look beautiful.

The monsters have their own characteristics, some have cat ears and slender waists, some have big fox-like tails, graceful and luxurious, and some have wings and are agile and agile.

Human beings pay more attention to their own clothing, they wear different clothes, skirts, pants, tight, sexy, or pink skirts, or whatever, it seems that the clothes have changed, the whole person has changed.

The demons are even more dissolute, many of them are leather-clothed, and they are all succubius or lust demons, and they generally snuggle up to a high-ranking demon who is not human at all.

Yes, the imperial capital is an open, equal and inclusive city.

You can tolerate everything, treat everyone equally, and those who are capable can live here, you can pursue a better life here, the lights are bright, and you can sing every night, even the devil can swagger on the street here, who dares to guarantee that she is not a celestial apostle? Monsters can also get high positions and earn money.

As advertised by the aristocracy, they were all equal.

Equal.

Equal.

Walking on the street with flickering lights, he threw two copper plates to the bowl in front of a beggar, and in the other party's thanks, Lu En left without looking back, and didn't even listen to what the man said.

The beggar thanked him twice, looked at the kind-hearted nobleman inexplicably, and didn't know why something happened to the other party so depressed, it looked like a ......

It's like, the whole street is bright, only he is covered with a layer of darkness.

But he didn't think much about it, and today he got two more copper plates, and he said! If you come to a place where there are many rich people, there will definitely be more people who give money! I'll be back tomorrow!

Lu En walked down the street, only to feel that everything around him was so far away from him.

The scene I hope to see is so far away, so far away that people are desperate, and so desperate that people can't generate any motivation to move forward.

It doesn't really make any sense to throw two copper plates and a few silver coins.

The level of moral character of a certain individual has almost no effect on social development, and only the leap forward of the productive forces can promote the essential change of society.

But that's too far away.

Raise your eyes and look around, and there are enemies everywhere.

This enemy refers not only to the powerful men of the empire, but also to the grand dukes, emperors, and princes.

They are enemies, but not all enemies.

Those who lie in the gutter waiting to die are the enemy.

The beggar who was happy when he picked up the copper plate just now is also an enemy.

The whole society, the whole world, the system of this world for thousands of years, is his enemy.

However, Lu En did not slack off because of this.

Because there are people like Anji, there are not many, but they do exist, and their existence is Lu En's driving force.

That's what the words say.

But...... Really tired.

Halfway through, Lu En simply found a bench in a roadside park and sat down.

Next to him was a homeless man, wrapped in a thin blanket, who fell asleep on another park bench, shivering from the cold even in his sleep.

Very tired, after today's work is completed, the next time, he still has to deal with some chores, the final highlight is the meeting, need to convince a lot of people, complete a lot of complex negotiations and exchange of interests, very difficult, but must be done.

He really ...... Tired.

Leaning back on the bench, he wanted to rest, and then return to his usual appearance of winning and confident.

Only in this way can other people have confidence in him.

But just then, someone put a coat on him.
