"Chairman."

The driver of the steam car opened the door and reached out to help Caber Luya out of the car. Caber Luya pushed his hand away, stepped out of the car himself, and turned to the driver.

"Te Gossman, even though I'm the chairman, we're all workers, we're all equals. You don't need to help me out of the car, it's good to be able to send me back. ”

"But Lord Rand asked me to serve you well."

"He is a bourgeois rotten concept, you are a coachman, a laborer, I am a worker, and we are also laborers, we are equal, and after you send me to the position, I will open the door and get off the car myself, okay?"

Te Gosman scratched his head, glanced at Caber Luyan's expensive formal suit, and shrugged, "Say whatever you want." ”

Kaber Luya smiled, turned around and pushed open the courtyard gate of No. 37 Sanmuyu Road, and a gust of autumn wind blew past him, bringing up patches of autumn locust petals. In the courtyard of the trade union headquarters, vice-chairman Cassie Lonergan, vice-chairman Mariano Navas from Vega Textile Mills, Ryan Shapud, vice-chairman from RAND Machinery, and Matthew Wilson, a liaison from the Labor Party of the Republic of Negro, were sitting at a round table in the courtyard drinking tea. The girl that Caber Luya had met at the party, Stella, stood next to several people, holding a tea bowl in her hand.

"President Luya!"

The sound of the courtyard door pushing open caught everyone's attention, and Stella Cork was the first to see Caber Luya. She whispered excitedly, put down the tea set in her hand, and trotted to stand in front of Caber Luya, holding her hands straight so that her fingertips almost touched the side of Caber Luya's face.

Caber Luya smiled helplessly, took off the coat that Aziva Rand had given him, handed it to Stella, and walked to the round table and sat down.

"How's it going, is the Azure Dye Factory done?"

"It's okay, it's about the same as the previous negotiations, the boss is very talkative, promised to give the workers an extra day off a month, and gave us a fee as usual," said Caber Luya, pulling out a bulging bag from his trouser pocket and placing it on the table.

Cassie Lonergan took the bag and weighed it, "That's estimated to be 500 dollars." ”

"Isn't it, there is an archmage, and they dare not listen to us?" , Mariano Navas took a sip of his teacup with a pleasant expression.

"And thank you Archmage for your support of our cause," Kaber Luya saluted the scepter mage tower in the distance with his cup, "Without the support of His Excellency the Archmage, we would not be where we are today. ”

With that, he saw Stella standing beside him, looking at him with an unmistakably hot gaze.

"Alright, Stella, let's sit down and talk together, we are all laborers, and our status is equal, isn't it against the spirit of Mentor Havarui to let you pour us tea?"

Stella smiled and placed a newspaper on the round table, "I think you might want to know this." ”

"What is this?" , Caber Luya picked up the newspaper, saw the headline on the front page at a glance, and subconsciously read it.

"Anken Rui attacked the Negru Republic in five days, advancing one hundred and twenty kilometers in five days, and most of Anta Province fell."

"What?!"

Matthew Wilson, the liaison officer of the Labour Party of the Republic of Negro, stood up with a thud, snatched the newspaper from Caber Luya almost with a snatch, put it in front of him, read it in three lines, and read it again.

"Ankenrein invaded the Negru Republic? Are they crazy? ”

Cassie Lonagan heard the title read by Kaber Luya, and he put down the tea bowl in his hand with a surprised expression, "Aren't they afraid of the Council of the Six Towers?" Military actions that violate the balance of the magic guide will be jointly sanctioned by the other five countries, and the mage of the Ankenrein Empire will not let this happen! ”

"But it's already happening," said Stella pulling open an empty stool beside Caber Lua, and sat down, "and the newspapers are clearly writing that the province of Anta is about to be occupied, and that the Republic of Negro seems to be unable to win. ”

"This can't be ......," muttered Matthew Wilson, who was just clutching the newspaper as if holding his fate, "How could Archmagister Piru Manino let this happen!" ”

"When did this happen?"

Mariano Navas took the newspaper from Matthew Wilson and looked at the date, "This was two weeks ago, why is the time lag of the newspaper so long now?" ”

"Speaking of which, I've heard something," Ryan Shepford sat up straight, "I heard that all the communication circles of the Tritheistic Sect are closed to the outside world, and the reporters can't send back their news, so they can only send news by hand, so it's very slow." Communication between Förndingen and the outside world was also cut off, and many people were dissatisfied with the Tritheistic Church. ”

"Communication with the outside world is broken?" , Matthew Wilson was confused, "I need to contact the party organization, I need the latest news!" It's impossible for Ankenrein to attack our country! It is impossible for them to violate the balance of the Six Towers, something that has never happened in more than 800 years! ”

"Comrade, calm down, calm down", Caber Luya patted Matthew Wilson's hand lightly, "Since it happened, it's useless to be anxious, everyone is working class, is there anything we can help with?" ”

"You can't help, this is aggression, since they have decided to invade, they must be ready, I have to think of a way......"

Matthew Wilson muttered to himself, and suddenly, he raised his head, and the whole person pounced in front of Caber Luya, looking straight at him, "I heard that you can meet His Excellency Toby Dugall, the Archmage?" Can you help me ask? How are they going to sanction Anken Rein? ”

Caber Luya tried to pull his hand out of Matthew Wilson's hand, but was unsuccessful. He looked left and right, and saw that everyone was looking at him with interest, clearly waiting for his reply. He frowned and thought for a while, and finally couldn't bear the face and held back an answer.

"I ...... I'll give it a try......"

————————————

"It's more serious than we thought."

Marshall Huff, the director of the Third Republic Mage Tower, stood in front of Archmage Toby Dugall with a respectful attitude, "It may be difficult for us to hide it for a year, the communication circle of the six mage towers has failed, and the parliament of the six countries to be convened next month cannot be held, we must think of a reason for the past. Moreover, the communication circle opened to the outside world of the Tritheistic Sect has also failed, and some doubts have arisen in the society, and some people are already inquiring about the situation of our communication circle in the tower. They may just want to use the communication circle to deliver some urgent news, but if they find out that our communication circle is also broken, it is likely to cause more suspicion in the society. ”

"It's not a big deal," said Toby Dugall, who was visibly older, sitting on a plush couch in Lent and speaking in a soft tone, "Have you read today's paper?" There is no excuse or justification for Ankenrein's invasion of the Negro Republic, and the Council of the Six Towers must impose sanctions on Luke Brewster and the Ankenrein Empire! ”

"But Your Excellency, the Council of the Six Towers has—"

"That's why I'm saying it's the biggest problem," Toby Dugall sighed, "and soon the parliament and the president will come and ask us what we think about it, and they might ask for an emergency communication, or an extraordinary meeting of the parliaments of the six countries, and then what will we do?" ”

Marshall Huff was silent, he knew what Toby Dougall was worried about, but he couldn't do anything about it. After thinking for a while, the director of the Mage Tower, who had been with Toby Dugall for more than twenty years, gave an answer.

"Just say we're going to take this matter to the Six Towers Council for discussion, then ban them from attending, and finally give them the results of the meeting?"

"It's true that the Council of the Six Towers has never allowed officials or nobles from various countries to attend, so you can delay this way, but how can we ensure that the other mage towers are in line with our actions? If the likes of St. Egerd, or Riccardo McShane, had given a different answer, the nations would have known that something was wrong with the Council of the Six Towers if they met. By that time, they would have easily guessed the real reason why Ankenrein had sent troops to the Negro Republic. ”

Marshall Huff was silent again, and after a while, he asked another question.

"It's not like Lord Luke Brewster's style, and when everyone is out of magic, it's the right thing to do with the longest possible period of safety. Lord Brewster, he-"

"Something may have happened to him", Toby Dugall picked up the Water Striped Star Tea that he had in his hand and took a sip gently, "This is my guess, but I know Luke Brewster, if he can control the royal family, he will definitely not start this war." ”

"That'...... Anken Rein is now the emperor in power? Paul Gibson? It's him? ”

Toby Dougall nodded, "I think so, that emperor has a wild nature in his bones, which makes him gain power, and it is not easy to do." ”

Marshall Huff was about to reply when he heard a knock on the door behind him. He walked to the door, whispered a few words to the guards outside the door, closed the door, and turned to report.

"That Kaber Luya is here, the chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Union, the one we support. He wants to know what you think of Anken Reyne's invasion? ”

"You go and send him away, tell him that the Council of the Six Towers will take care of it", Toby Dougall closed his eyes, "just by looking at the reaction of the Council and the President, I'm sleepy and need to rest for a while." ”

"Whoa."

Marshall Huff bowed and left the room.

——————————

Kaber Luya was a little nervous when he sat down in the Green Tower Hall on the top floor of the Golden Radiance Pavilion. After visiting the Grand Magus in the afternoon, Aziva Rand decided to invite him to dinner here. As the finest restaurant in Ferndingen, Golden Pavilion was once a superb restaurant that could only be enjoyed by royalty and the top aristocracy. It was only later that democracy was established, and it began to be gradually opened up to the top capitalists. This is the first time that Caber Luya has only heard of this restaurant in the wildest braggart stories of his co-workers.

"Secretary Luya, you are here, come and sit."

The long table has only six high-backed chairs, and the president of the Conservative Party, Aziva Land, sits on the table, where the host is located. Espen Skodario, the chairman of the Democratic Party and the speaker of the General Assembly, sat on the right side of the hand on the table, and a beautiful woman unknown to Caber Luya sat next to Scowdario. On the other side of the table sat a man unknown to Caber Luya, about forty or so, neatly dressed.

Seeing Kaber Luya appear, everyone stood up. Aziva warmly gave up Caber Luya to the seat of honor, and Stella who had accompanied him next to the gentleman, before introducing the guests tonight. It turned out that the man was Val Preston, Mr. President's personal adviser.

"I heard that Chairman Luya has gone to see His Excellency the Great Magister, I wonder if you can share with us the instructions of His Excellency the Great Magister? Everyone was a little surprised by today's news, and we didn't know what to do", after eating two appetizers, Aziva Rand cut the topic to the point. Kaber Luya picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth in a bit of a panic, trying to swallow the top-grade caviar that was a little sour in his mouth, "...... I haven't seen His Excellency the Archmage, but what Your Excellency means is that this matter will be handled by the Council of the Six Towers, so please don't worry. ”

"This is indeed a matter for the Council of the Six Towers, and Ankenrein's actions are unforgivable," Aziva agreed, turning to Mr. President's adviser, Val Preston, "But, don't you know that the Mage Tower has instructed Mr. President?" ”

"Not yet, I've submitted an official letter to the Mage Tower, but I haven't received a reply yet", Val Preston put down his knife and fork, "This time the Mage Tower's response seems to be a little slower. ”

"That's true, there was no response to the official letter sent by the council, and the only message from the Mage Tower was to make us wait", Speaker of the Council, Espen Skodario, frowned, visibly distressed.

"Okay, let's not all be sad," Aziva raised his glass, "To put it bluntly, it's still the problem of the Grand Magus, let them worry about it." We are only responsible for enforcement, they say sanctions, we will sanction, they have to communicate with His Excellency Luke Brewster, we can't help, at most we can help with some troops, threaten on the border, I guess Anken Rein will also compromise, right? It's rare to have our rising political star Kaber Luya today, let's have a drink! ”

"Yes, yes, we are all old, and we can't keep up with the times, and it will be time for President Luya to shine in the sky for new stars like President Luya, who are young and promising, idealistic, and emotional, and willing to run around and shout for the working class.

"That is, in the whole country, apart from Chairman Luya, who other parliamentarians dare to fight for the working class, even the Grand Magister dares to fight? With such people, what is there to fear from our fellow workers? ”

Seeing that everyone had turned the topic to themselves, Caber Luya got up a little stiffly, stumbled back a few words, and had to clink glasses with a few top people in the country, and then drank it all. Stella, who was beside him, glanced at him and drank the wine in one gulp.

——————————

Kaber Luya was drunk.

He actually drinks a lot of alcohol, and when he fights with his co-workers, although he can't drink high-end red wine, he has no problem drinking one or two bottles of home-brewed wine and cheap spirits. But for some reason, in this top restaurant in Ferndingen, he somehow lost the amount of wine he was proud of, and with just a few glasses of wine, he felt like he was stepping on the clouds.

"Chairman Luya is like this, don't go back, there is a place to stay here, and we have arranged it."

In a blur, Caber Luya felt someone move half-on his own, and there was a faint aroma lingering in the air on the tip of his nose, which was very comfortable. Immediately after, he heard the sound of the door closing, the whispers of several people, the sound of farewells, and the murmuring of water.

"Chairman, wash it up, it's comfortable to sleep like this."

A sharp and beautiful face appeared in the sight of Kaber Luya, who knelt beside him with a basin of water, and gently wiped his face with a towel. The girl's fingers were slender and soft, making Caber Luya's heart thump.

"I ...... I'll ...... it myself."

Kaber Luya was vague and reached for the towel, but somehow grabbed Stella's hand, which was soft and beautiful and struggled a little before holding his hand back. The girl leaned forward slightly, leaning down at a very close distance, looking down at Caber Luya. Her breathing was a little rapid, and the air she brought up made Caber Luya's face a little hot.

"You...... Let's go back......"

Kaber Luya's consciousness suddenly became sober for some reason, the drunkenness just now turned into a violent heartbeat, he wanted to let go of the hand holding Stella, but the hand seemed not to be his own, busy feeling the softness of the little hand greedily, and did not move.

Stella seemed to be courageously plucked up by Caber Luya's hand, she pursed her lips, and fell into Caber Luya's arms.

"Kaber, today, I don't want to leave."

The moonlight outside the window was quiet and serene, gently overflowing the window lattice, overflowing the floor of the room. At the junction of light and shadow, the figures of men and women hugged each other tightly.

The name of that song.

It's called Silver Moonshine.
