The early summer afternoon sun wasn't as hot as midsummer, and the languid warmth was always unmotivating, and Quirrell was lying on the chaise longue on the corner of the street, his hat covering his eyes.

"I knew that with these two guys, CaraAndrew, it wasn't as boring as it is now. I don't know what this guy Mihawk did. ”

Quirrell had completely given up looking for someone, and after thinking about it, he felt more and more that something was wrong, if there was really a character like Victor who entered the Fortress of Alain, even if the relationship between Pol and Laval was not good, at least the city would have to be closed and searched, and Quirrell had asked passers-by just now, and the defenders of the past few days were nothing abnormal. But if Pol didn't want his relative to make meritorious contributions, so he gave this task to the Youth League, and didn't just send the four of them who had no experience and connections, at least Paul would be together anyway. Plus his attitude when the four went to find Pol.

"Hey." Quirrell jumped up and sighed, "I'm afraid that this guy Mihawk is stalking people crazy, so let's come out and ask for a few days of peace." "It's a waste to just lie down like this, but Quirrell decides to have some fun.

The casino itself was not interested, and although the brothel was itchy, Quirrell, who had never entered the door, was embarrassed to see it himself.

"Cheap bastards, just buy some souvenirs and bring them home."

The casino downstairs of Alan Restaurant is worthy of being famous far and near, even the dignitaries and dignitaries of the nearby cities will come here to play two hands, although it is underground, the area is several times larger than the upstairs, the floor is covered with red carpets, the walls and ceilings are covered with gold and silver jewelry decoration, the hall is full of people, shouting constantly. Dice, poker, carousel all kinds of gambling methods are everything, the bodyguards of the patrol are as many as half a hundred, each dragon and tiger step is a long-standing battlefield of the best elite, the dealer and the waiter are mainly girls, each wearing cool, the eyebrows with spring.

Carla and the others were shocked by this encounter when they entered the door, and before they could close their mouths wide open, the service staff of the casino greeted them: "Two brothers, how are you going to play this time?" Do you need your sister to accompany you? As he spoke, he rubbed his bare breasts against Andrew's arm.

Andrew swallowed hard and said, "Do you want money?" ”

Kara kicked him in the ass and said, "Don't listen to my brother, the first time the countryman came, this sister will show him how to play our game." ”

The girl laughed delicately, and her crisp breasts swayed back and forth: "Childe said that he laughed, this brother has thick and strong arms, he must be a strong general on the battlefield, which head of the regiment must be to play tricks on the little girl." He threw an eyebrow at Andrew and said: "We have two places in the lobby and the inner hall, the inner hall is all dignitaries, and the gambling capital starts with 50,000 yuan of imperial coins, and the slave family can't accompany the brothers when you go there, and there are other sisters to accompany you." This lobby is casual, but it is capped at 50,000 yuan. If you want the slave family to accompany you all the way, you only need two hundred imperial coins, and if your brother wins, you can also take the slave family out at night. ”

Andrew was also frightened by this price, and their monthly salary was only three hundred, and they were still captain-level officers. At that moment, Se Gu was scared away by the poor Guts, and Zhengse said: "Let's just go shopping first, hahaha." ”

After all, Kara reacted quickly, took a note and stuffed it into the girl's hand, and said, "When our brother wins, he will come to you." He also pinched the girl's ass hard. The girl snorted and shouted disgust, and left to find other targets.

Andrew finally returned to normal: "Where do we start?" ”

"Mihawk, you barely move your chopsticks, do you think it's too small here?"

In a tiny open-air shop in the fortress of Alain, Crane gulped down the food in his hand.

"It's not that I don't think it's suitable here, it's just that I've just eaten at noon." Mihawk smiled wryly at the steaming rice in front of him.

"Then why are you asking me to dinner? Did I take the kind words seriously? ”

"Why, I just think Clay is funny and want to stay with you a little longer."

Clay frowned and said, "You don't think you are, like men, right?" ”

Mihawk almost squirted out a mouthful of noodles that he had finally swallowed in his mouth, and waved his hand: "It's just an indescribable feeling, don't get me wrong." ”

Kleiha laughed, his eyes bent into crescents.

Mihawk was embarrassed and coughed: "It's just that I either pamper myself at home, or practice marching on the front line, but I never thought about what has become of the empire." ”

Clay said: "The empire is now like a lion, and it still looks majestic and invincible on the outside. But the inner core is already scarred and will not be able to support it at any time. Large areas of the empire have long been turned into no man's land, either to avoid taxes, or to flee early, or all the strong laborers in the family have died on the battlefield, unable to support themselves to go elsewhere. Now, except for the vicinity of the imperial capital and a few high-yield grain producing areas that can maintain a prosperous scene, other places have long been in ruins. Presumably, the same is true on the Alliance's side. War is not the solution to the problem. ”

Mihawk was shocked: "But the more this is the case, shouldn't we reunify as soon as possible, and end these wars so that the people can live a truly good life?" Why listen to you, but you don't seem to want to fight. ”

Clay smiled bitterly: "If it is true that the continents are united, the war can be ended, how can I object, but if there is no external enemy, can the empire be stable internally?" Fighting for power, profit, and prejudice, there will always be various reasons for people to continue fighting. Aren't the bitter soldiers still rushing to the front line? Only a real armistice. The two sides will contain each other, and if they are surrounded by outsiders, they will unite internally and strive for development, so that the people can be at peace for a longer time. It's just that decades later, ambition has run wild, and war will inevitably resume. ”

Mihawk bowed his head and was silent, and said after a long time: "If you want long-term peace and stability, how easy is it to say, I don't have that ability and ambition, but now that the war is in full swing, I, as an imperial man, should fight to the end." ”

Clay stood up and clenched his fists and said, "It is precisely because of hot-blooded men like you, the pillars of the empire, that we can also have a short period of peace." Today, like Your Excellency, I want to say more at first sight, and I want to say more for some reason, and I will not blame all these thoughts in my heart. It's not early, and I also sneaked out, so how about I leave it for now? ”

Mihawk stood up and said, "In that case, I will not force me to stay, but I don't know where he will see him again?" ”

Clay smiled: "If there is fate, you can see you again at any time." If you don't have a chance, you don't have to force it. "I didn't want to reveal where I came from.

The sack that Quirrell was carrying was already eight points full at this time, and the Alan Fortress was worthy of its reputation, and there were countless miscellaneous goods of all kinds, and there were a lot of dishes, and Quirrell was carrying the bag, and he was also complaining, thinking that he would have to add some amount to these boys when he went back, and he would not live up to the fact that he had bought so many things.

"This Alan Restaurant really lives up to its name, and the signature roast goose is even more oily but not greasy, and it is extremely crispy." A somewhat familiar voice passed Quirrell, and Quirrell looked back to see a sky-blue robe and waist-length hair, followed by a man in a yellow suit and black hair.

Quirrell didn't dare to confirm it, and asked, "Two brothers, you just said that the roast goose in Alan Restaurant, how should I go?" ”

The man in blue looked back, and although Quirrell only glanced at it secretly, he still recognized it as Victor at a glance. Victor said lightly: "Oh, it's right in front, just go straight to the central square." Then he turned and walked away.

Quirrell turned around and wanted to follow, but he was worried about how many people Victor had brought with him, and if anyone else was nearby, he was afraid that he would be exposed at any moment if he ran in the opposite direction. I wanted to shout loudly that the guards were surrounded, but I was worried that there were too many civilians, so I fled in chaos. Quirrell hesitated slightly, knowing that standing still would be more confusing, so he immediately thanked him and identified the direction in which Victor and the others were heading. It's like walking in the direction of a restaurant.

After a few steps forward and making sure no one was staring at him, Quirrell dodged into a small path, tossed the sack in a corner, and sped around in Victor's direction, praying that he wouldn't change course and turn a corner.

Quirrell rushed out of the alley, secretly glad that it was not a dead end, and was greatly relieved to see that Victor was still moving forward unhurriedly in front of him, and hung from a distance to see where he had landed.

Kara's luck today is really bad, the money she brought in less than half an afternoon has been lost, and she really has no money to gamble on, she is looking left and right to see if she can find Andrew to borrow some copies, but the person behind her is unwilling, shouting: "Hey, I said that you kid can't get down, if you don't get down, get out of the way, don't get in the way of the uncle's wealth." ”

Kara was in a bad mood when she lost the money, and said angrily: "What the hell is going on with you, master, I love to stand here, can you take care of it." ”

The man in the back was not a good stubble, and yelled: "Fucking shameless, huh?" You come out for me. Then he walked out.

How Kara was the one who became a turtle with a shrunken head after being angry, he didn't care that the person was more than a head taller than him, and screamed and squeezed out of the crowd. I saw that the man was not only a head taller than Kara, but the muscles on his body were bulging together, but Carla didn't even have time to regret it at this time, so he could only look left and right, hoping to find Andrew to help him, but he didn't know where this guy had gone, and he couldn't be found.

The strong man held his hands and was about to punch Kara, but the security guard of the casino noticed that something was wrong in time, and the three of them immediately flashed over, leading the man: "What's unpleasant about the two of you?" If there is anything inconsiderate, you can say it, and I apologize to both of you. ”

The strong man seemed to remember something, waved his hand and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, nothing." It's me who is impulsive, so I'll give this brother a companion first. He turned around and left, without the momentum of beating people just now.
