When Kaber Luya returned to No. 29 Mimuyu Road again, he was in a trance. His trade union party has been captured, his headquarters has been cordoned off by soldiers, his patron, Archmage Toby Dugall's fate is unknown, and he can't even enter the mage tower. Although he does not know what the current political situation in Ferndingen is, Caber Luya seems to have seen a huge shadow in his path.

Can he pass?

"Honey, you're back, how's it going?"

When Stella was at home, her mood was better when she met Kaber Luya for the first time, and she even cooked a simple meal for Caber Luya. When Caber Luya sat at the table in a trance, Stella even looked at him expectantly, waiting for his evaluation. But now Caber Luya is obviously not in the mood to taste delicious, and anything he eats is a taste to him.

"It's not okay to go on like this, let's go to your uncle and grandfather and see if he has any way."

Halfway through eating, Caber Luya finally thought of a way, he stood up slowly, took Stella's hand and was about to go out, Stella screamed softly, broke away from her hand, said that she was going upstairs to change clothes, and disappeared behind the stairs. Caber Luya stood alone on the first floor and calmed down for a while, gradually finding his own train of thought.

Now the situation in Ferndingen is unclear, and his biggest backer has fallen, but Stella's uncle, the big man of the Rand family, and the chairman of the Conservative Party, Aziva Rand, seems to have a good impression of himself. With his ability, he should be able to help himself.

After a while, Stella changed into more solemn clothes and went downstairs, and Gastens took her hand and went out, but suddenly remembered that her coachman was gone, and the steam car that was usually parked in the yard was missing.

"What about Gosman?"

Standing at the door of his house, Kaber Luya could still see the soldiers at the gate of Courtyard 37. A day passed, and it was still heavily guarded, and it seemed that all those who tried to enter that courtyard would be investigated and even arrested.

"I don't know, since the news came a week ago, our party's headquarters was sealed, I haven't seen Te Gosman, I don't know where he went."

Stella looked innocent, she looked up at Caber Luya, knew that her man was really in a hurry, and tried to come up with an idea.

"Or, let's call a cab?"

Hearing this advice, Caber Luya looked down the street. Mikiyo Road is usually full of cars, and there are many rental carriages that can be rented. But now I don't know why, there is not a single car on the whole street.

"Let's go over", Kaber Luya gritted his teeth and made up his mind, now that time is tight, whether it is looking for a car or waiting for a car, he can't afford to delay.

"Huh? But my clothes ......."

Stella looked down at her floor-length dress, a little unsupportive. Her skirt wasn't meant for long walks, especially on streets where sanitation was not very good.

"It's easier to change it, I'll wait for you."

If it weren't for the fact that bringing Stella would be more conducive to convincing Aziva, Caber Luya would have thought of going straight to Aziva himself. However, he managed to maintain a basic IQ, and knew that it was very inappropriate for him to leave Stella alone at this time. When Stella went to change clothes, he found a box of cigars on the first floor of the room, awkwardly roasted them in pyroxene, and took a soft puff.

"Ahem, ahem—"

Caber Luya hadn't actually smoked this thing much, and every time he saw Andrea Duparatt, the owner of the Vega Textile Factory, he saw that the other party had smoked more, and the box in his hand seemed to be given by him when. However, after tasting it himself, Caber Luya realized that not everyone would like the taste of a cigar.

"Gone, gone."

When Stella went downstairs again, she changed into a long coat and trousers, and wore a pair of brown flat leather shoes, which looked much more capable. Kaber Luya no longer hesitated, pulling him down the street, trying to find a rental carriage on the way as he headed towards Aziva Rand's house in the city. They were lucky, and after walking for less than twenty minutes, they saw an empty horse-drawn cab. The two got into the car, reported the address of Aziva Rand's house, and nearly half an hour later, arrived at the gate of Aziva Rand's house in the city.

"The lord is not at home, he said that if the young lady and the gentleman come, they can go directly to the Great Council to find him."

Lionel Richie, the housekeeper who stayed at home, apparently received instructions from Aziva, and he relayed the original words to Caber Luya and Stella, who came to the door, and completed the task. Caber Luya took Stella in the cab she had just taken and went to the Great Council again. Since the Grand Council did not allow unrelated people to enter at will, Caber Luya asked Stella to wait at the door, and went straight in, and found Aziva Rand drinking tea alone in the Conservative office area on the third floor of the Grand Council.

"Chairman Rand", seeing that Aziwa Rand was still drinking tea so calmly, Caber Luya felt that he also had some confidence in his heart. He calmed down a little, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Aziva.

"You went to the Neglo Republic, what was the result of the investigation?"

"Fortunately, the industrial production capacity and combat readiness level of the Neglo Republic is better than that of Anken Rein, but ......", hearing this question, Kaber Luya subconsciously remembered the chat with Defense Minister Jacob Larsen on the way back, and he basically copied what Larson told him, and simply summarized the conclusion of the suddenly interrupted expedition of the Neglo Republic.

"Well......," Aziva nodded, "You're very observant, if it weren't for the news that Ankenrein suddenly released the Great Demon Tide this time, we would have already started the signing process with the Negru Republic." In this world, it is always right to practice with the strong than with the weak. ”

"Mr. Aziv, speaking of that statement—", Kaber Luya heard Aziva take the initiative to talk about that statement, and hurriedly took the opportunity to ask, "Is that statement true?" When I came back, I heard that Ferdingen was under martial law, that the troops from all over the country had been ordered to stand by and that when I returned to Ferndingen, the headquarters of our Confuc Party was raided. What really happened in Ferndingen in our absence? ”

"You're finally asking," Aziva chuckled softly, as if it was an inconsequential matter that Caber Luya had asked, "the matter of the Third Great Devil Tide is true, the two divisions of the Wehrmacht stationed near Ferndingen are our men, and we sent them to test the Mage Tower, and they came out. ”

What did you try out?

Caber Luya was sitting, but his body was already tense, and he knew that the answer, whether he wanted it or not, was on Aziva Rand's lips.

"The Archmage, or the person, the former Archmagus who lost his magic," Aziva pronounced the word "former" very heavily, "he is already an ordinary person, and we have given him the destiny of an ordinary person." ”

“…… Everyman? ”

Kaber Luya still couldn't believe it. Not long ago, Toby Dugall, who was called an ordinary person by Aziva Rand, used a fifth-level magic to make him realize what absolute power is. His body still remembered the magic called Psychic Awe, but now, the Great Magister who made him desperate was just an ordinary person?

"Don't you care about your trade union party?"

Aziva Rand was still smiling and sitting, maybe Caber Luya had been in a daze for too long, and Aziva reminded him very intimately, "Isn't your trade union party arrested?" ”

"Ah, yes!"

It was then that Cabor Luya remembered that he had more important things to do. He sat up straight and solemnly presented his appeal to Aziva.

"Chairman Aziva, you and the RAND family have a huge influence in Verndingen, can you help me ask what is going on in this matter, who arrested our party members, and who ordered the blockade of our headquarters? Since its inception, the Coalition Party has been in the service of this country, and we have not done anything illegal. ”

"I know about this", the smile on Aziva Rand's face disappeared at some point, "I ordered the arrest of the person I ordered, and the door I ordered to be sealed, and I also ordered that anyone who tried to enter that courtyard, regardless of status, should be arrested." ”

Kaber Luya froze in his place, and after a few seconds, he bounced up like a spring, "You did it!?" ”

"Yes, I did it", Aziva tapped the table with his fingers, and four muscular soldiers entered through the door, two in front of them, and two in front of him, and controlled Kaber Luya.

"But...... Why? ”

Although Caber Luya was a worker, with a strong body and strong hands and feet, his two fists were no match for his four hands, and after a few struggles, he gave up his resistance and looked at Aziva with a betrayed look, waiting for his explanation.

"Do you need to ask?" , Aziva stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window at the National Square, "The Grand Magister has lost his magic, and this country will become a real republic, and a real republic does not need the set of your proletariat." The book does not say that the proletariat is destined to overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie and establish a truly communist society. What do you think is the reason for you, who have enshrined that book and its theories as the Bible, to continue to exist in the absence of the Great Magister? ”

“…… But, ......," said Caber Luya's voice, unconsciously loudened, "we don't mention that book now, and some time ago, didn't we find a way to bring the working class and the capitalists into harmony?" Aren't you going to marry your niece, Stella, to me? Aren't you our supporter? ”

"Oh......", Aziva Rand leaned against the window, turning his head with a look of contempt, "it's all for the Grand Magister, do you think we're willing to lose a profit out of thin air to pay the workers, take vacations, buy insurance, and safety equipment?" Aren't you just a bunch of pigs? As long as you can eat and work, don't you think it's too much? ”

Hearing Aziva's words, Kaber Luya felt that his whole person was not good, he once thought that Aziva was the enemy he had to defeat, but the person in front of him persuaded him with his actions and made him realize that capitalists and proletariats can coexist peacefully, but now, he told himself that capitalists and proletariats have been class enemies since ancient times! Which one is the real him? And yourself, did you do something wrong?

“…… Oh, by the way, and Stella", Aziva Rand laughed even more happily, "Do you think a family like ours would allow their juniors to fall in love with someone like you, or even live together unmarried?" ”

Hearing this, Caber Luya suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. He trembled his lips and looked at the old man in front of him, a little wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to speak.

"That Stella is just a high-ranking young lady, they are well trained, in order to please their aristocratic customers, they also have a good reserve of knowledge, and it is not difficult to disguise themselves as a daughter. Do you really think that Stella is my niece? Come on, boy, there is a limit to dreaming! ”

She...... She's not......

"And she...... Then she ......"

Caber Luya muttered a few words, but did not ask the question after all. However, Aziva was clearly old and had already seen what Caber Luya was thinking. He was merciless and delivered the final blow.

"How could she possibly like you? Pig, she's just a pawn by your side according to my orders. What, isn't it a surprise? ”

"No!!!! This is not true!! Stella she really likes me, she-"

Caber Luya was finally cornered, he lost his mind, and struggled desperately, even if there were four soldiers beside him, he almost rushed out. However, his efforts ended there, as someone hit him the back of the head, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey, what a pity...... Actually, I like this kind of time, I haven't had a lot of time to deal with someone in years, you should feel honored, you know? ”

Aziva walked up to Caber Luya, who was firmly trampled on the ground, crouched down, took the teacup, and poured the hot water pattern star tea on Caber Luya's face. Caber Luya's somewhat drowsy consciousness was stirred up by this, and he screamed in pain.

"You know what? The price of this cup of tea can buy a dozen dregs like you. ”

Aziva Rand stood up, clapped his hands, and gave orders to the four soldiers.

"Take them away, put them in prison, hang them in a few days, and then, nationwide, thoroughly investigate the communists!"

After saying this, Aziva turned his back, looked at the National Square outside the window, and sighed softly. Most of Caber Luya's face was burned red, and he was dragged out of the room by four soldiers, and in his dazed consciousness, for some reason, he suddenly remembered a sentence from the book.

"The new relations of production represented by the proletariat will inevitably collide most violently with the old relations of production represented by the bourgeoisie. Any form of compromise, hesitation and compromise is impossible. The capitalists will not allow their gravediggers to continue to exist, and struggle is the only way out for the proletariat. ”
