Patch stood in silence, pursed his mouth tightly, the beard on his chin wrinkled as a result, he closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, looked at Archduke Invid in a complicated manner, looked at his father, and finally spread his hands, and said in a tone of forced laughter and a little sadness, "But I am still your son, your own son." ”

"Yes, whether you are a genius, a waste, or an ordinary, you will always be my son, that's right." Archduke Invid held the table and sat back slowly, he threw the broken pen into the trash, took out a pen from under the table again, picked up the document and wrote the annotations, and said something that made Patch have mixed feelings, "But I'm not the Grand Duke of Rohr, I don't have such a strong obsession with blood, I only trust the capable." ”

Patch's mouth tightened more and more, his whole face was almost wrinkled, and he even had some clear liquid in his eyes, and said hoarsely, "What do you mean... You're going to let Adam take your place? ”

If this sentence spreads outside, I am afraid it will cause an uproar, but Grand Duke Invid was very calm after hearing it, and his mood did not fluctuate at all, but he said lightly: "I didn't say that, I just hope that you should grow up a little, throw away those childish emotions and practices, learn with an open mind, as long as you can cultivate your own ability, you will definitely be able to take over the Inved family for me in a few decades." ”

"Decades later... Father, you're almost 80... Where have you been for decades..."Patch's eyes were full of sadness, and he pursed his lips tightly as he walked out of the office.

"Remember to close the door." Under the cold command of Grand Duke Invid, Patch slowly closed the door of the office, and his father's aged figure became smaller and smaller in the gap, and finally disappeared.

...

After the Dawn Purge, the city became closed and oppressive, and industries came to a standstill, sacrificing all the development of people's livelihood and urban construction, turning it into a political machine.

In this depression, there is a line that is thriving, that is, the peach-colored service industry, in the gloomy depression, and only this place can vent the usual grievances and depression, the smart peach-colored snakeheads have long since merged the bars, hotels, and baths of Dawn City, and then integrated their peach houses, turning their own industries into a complex for people to vent for entertainment.

Of course, no matter how you vent, these places are still shrouded in political clouds.

In Dawn City's largest peach-colored bar, a large banner is plastered on the wooden walls: Honor of the Commonwealth, Shame of the Empire.

This is the slogan of the independent forces of Dawn, who are secretly protected by the Grand Duke's Mansion and seek out public places, demanding that every household put up a sign to show that they belong to the Commonwealth, that they are their allies, and that they are not in the company of the mysterious killers who assassinate the independent forces.

In the bar, the glamorous girls walked through the row, searching for the prey that could be slaughtered today, and the drinkers were drunk and dreaming here, but soon woke up again, looked around vigilantly, and began to worry whether their dream words had been maliciously recorded and reported, and at the same time secretly complained in their hearts that after the purge of arrogance, they were not even happy to drink.

A depressed Patch was drinking with Marquis Charles, and at Marquis Charles's suggestion, both of them changed into civilian attire so as not to stand out in the crowd, after all, this is not a safe place, although the mysterious killer struggled after the purge and rarely committed crimes, but he was not allowed to become unlucky.

The reason why the two of them slipped out of the Grand Duke's Mansion is also very simple, the maids in the Grand Duke's Mansion, except for Shiso, are basically all on the ground in the Great Purge, and now all the soldiers stationed in the Mansion are soldiers of the Grand Duke's Guard, and even the laundry is a strong man of the Federation with five big and three thick, not to mention women, even the watchdogs are all male, and there are not many female creatures! You can be suffocated there!

"Hahaha... Let me tell you, that new Adam has been following me since he was a child. After hours, the urinal was so high that at the first command, he had to get on his knees and let me pee on his back. Another time, he got into a fight with a boy from the Ottery family, and he was beaten so bruised and swollen that I ran over and yelled! That boy was scared and his ass was urinating! In the end, he went back to his house and was whipped, but I stepped forward and asked the torturer to whip him twice. Patch grunted down a glass of wine, slammed the glass on the table, drunkenly bared his tongue and said, "And now, ride me on the head!" Let me be his adjutant? He could not be where he is today without me?! ”

Marquis Charles had a sympathetic look on his face, he has also been very unhappy in the past few years, and when he collapsed for 7 years, he was the peak of his life, and he had generals like Ghost Hands, Crucifixion nuns like Ayr, and German engineers like Eric, as a result? Luo Wei, this evil star is coming! Eight lifetimes of blood mold have been poured since then!

First was picketed by the new Imperial gendarmes at the banquet, then the Dawn Defense Battle was lost, and the killing of civilians to protect themselves was almost exposed, and then the ghost hand was killed in the cube mission, and the entire Dawn team fell apart, and finally a grand duke was parachuted, and his status plummeted.

Later, although the dawn team was reorganized, what kind of garbage was recruited, except for the old team member Arnold, who had two hits, others could eat more than pigs, and could do more than stallions, if it weren't for the support of the federal mechanical forces on the mission, even a B-level mission would not have passed.

As soon as he thought of his political career, Marquis Charles cried blood, drank his wine in a big gulp, and complained: "Young master, I am as bitter as you!" After the Grand Duke came, I didn't have a good life at all! ”

"If only my father died!" Patch, perhaps having drunk too much, knocked the cup onto his cup, poked his big tongue in his chest and said, "Well... I'm the boss~ protect you... There is endless money, and there are women who can't sleep! ”

Marquis Charles was so frightened that he woke up, and hurriedly looked around, fortunately, the bar was very noisy, and there were people talking loudly everywhere, no one should hear them, he hurriedly waved his hand, lowered his voice and said: "Young master, you can't talk nonsense, now there are people everywhere to report, in case someone reports us, even if it is drunk nonsense, it is indispensable for the Grand Duke to be punished!" ”

Patch slapped the table and scolded with alcohol: "I am the brigadier general of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, the son of the Grand Duke, who dares to punish me?!" Do the wine and meat monks dare?! He dared him to get me! Come! Right now! ”

Marquis Charles was so frightened that his heart twitched, and he hurriedly advised: "Young master, okay, okay, don't we talk about this?" ”

Patch snorted, waved his hand, and scolded and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, call a woman quickly, I'm going to suffocate me these days!" ”
