The world is huge, and the land outside the law is only a corner.

Turtledove knew a long time ago that not all places are as desolate as the Extralegal Lands, and that the outside world may not be rich, beautiful, or spectacular, but it is far more suitable for survival than the Extralegal Lands, so since the birth of the New Empire, the Outlaws Lands have existed as exiles.

Outside the law, deprived of food and water, is so barren that those who survive here become ruthless and unscrupulous in order to continue living, because those who do not complete this transformation are often quickly reduced to corpses.

It can be said that the place outside the law is a huge prison and cage, and the turtledove is just one of many prisoners, like the man-eating rat, who controls the power of one side, that is, a relatively powerful prisoner.

At the end of the day, it's still a prisoner.

Turtledove didn't know much about the new empire, and it seems that the people here deliberately don't mention the huge and brutal monster, but for the so-called "wings of freedom", Turtledove has heard Hannibal mention it three or two times.

They were a rather mysterious group of people who were at odds with the new empire at every turn—this was what Turtledove knew about the wings of freedom, which was almost none.

That's why he behaves so indifferently when Hannibal says that "Bug's father is the former leader of the Wings of Freedom", if he knew a little more about the Wings of Freedom, maybe he would not be so calm, but shocked.

Hannibal smiled bitterly and shook his head, the turtledove has experienced a lot outside, but he is too young, and his knowledge of this world is still only stuck in the words "place outside the law".

It's no wonder that Turtledove has lived in a place outside the law since he was a child, and he has been wandering around the place outside the law for several years away from home, and he has never seen the outside world with his own eyes.

"So you shouldn't get involved with her," Hannibal tapped his finger lightly on the table, "why are the wolf cubs in the wolf's den eyeing her, because they are dogs raised by the New Empire, and I can tell you that not only the New Empire, but also the people of the Wings of Liberty are looking for her." ”

Turtledove was still full of indifference, and he said angrily: "This is a place outside the law, not under the control of the new empire, and I am not a person from the Wings of Freedom, who can control me?" Who I love to hang out with, that's my own business. ”

The previous turtledove was still talking about the New Empire and the Wings of Freedom, but the last sentence was for Hannibal, because Hannibal's previous tone made him a little angry.

"Not only will you kill yourself, but you may also drag the whole of Mouse City into the water," Hannibal's face was filled with anger, "You've been out there for a long time, how can you survive, do you want me to teach you all over again?" ”

In front of the new empire and the wings of freedom, Li Jinshan's pigpen city is really not enough, and the mouse city is not the same, Hannibal ridiculed Li Jinshan for thinking too beautifully, and of course he himself did not want to be the laughing stock of others like Li Jinshan.

Although Hannibal didn't know what kind of secret the girl had that could make both the new empire and the wings of freedom target her. He knew in his heart that no matter what, the water in it was too deep, and it was best for the turtledove not to have a relationship with either side, otherwise it would be easy for an accident.

In Hannibal's eyes, the wolf's den is just a group of dogs raised by the new empire in the land outside the law, and what they represent is actually the will of the new empire.

Because of this, Hannibal would not hesitate to ruin the first dinner that father and son had together after four years of separation, and also to tell the turtledove about the stakes.

After listening to Hannibal's words, Ikaruga sat there without saying a word, silent and stubborn, just like the boy who insisted on running away from home four years ago.

It seems that after all these years, the turtledove has grown a lot, but the rebellious period has not passed, at least he is still unwilling to listen to Hannibal in everything, even if Hannibal has eaten more salt particles than he has eaten rice.

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is clear that the turtledove is a calf full of blood, and the more Hannibal does not let him do anything, the more he will do it, as if he does not feel sick if he does not come with Hannibal.

"Stupid!"

Hannibal slammed the table so loudly that he almost threw the plate in front of him into the turtledove's face, and this time he was so angry that he forgot to take care of his hairstyle, which had been slightly messed up with anger.

"Squeak."

The door to the room opened, and an old man who looked like a butler walked in with his upper body up, holding a large silver plate with some desserts and snacks on it. After laying them out in front of Hannibal and the turtledove without changing his face, he naturally stood next to Hannibal, and quietly winked at the turtledove.

Walter, the right and left hand of Hannibal the man-eater, there is no one in the city of rats who does not know him.

As an old butler who has followed Hannibal for many years, Walter is most familiar with Hannibal's temperament and temperament, and also understands the rebellious psychology of the young man, so when the father and son are deadlocked, Walter comes to the rescue.

"Young master, if you don't have enough to eat, I can ask the kitchen to prepare a supper for you."

If Hannibal is an impeccable gentleman, then Walter is an impeccable housekeeper, and his every move is the most standardized housekeeping textbook.

With such a small episode, Hannibal could not continue to have a seizure, and Ikaruga waved his hand, indicating that he did not need any supper for the time being.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but the young master has grown taller."

Today, Walter talked more than usual, not because he suddenly got the strange disease that he would die if he didn't speak, but because he deliberately mediated between the two fathers and sons to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Master, I still remember that the young master was only a few years old when he first came here, and he was so thin that he couldn't look good, and you teased him on a whim when distributing food, but the young master really broke half a piece of bread to you, and now in retrospect, the young master has known that he is distressed since he was a child."

"That's why I said he's the same kind of person as that girl," Hannibal's face darkened, but his anger didn't completely subside, "In a land outside the law, people like you two won't live long." ”

"Master, when you are your age as a teenager, you are also so enthusiastic, young man, it is inevitable that you will be vigorous, and the young master regards you as an idol."

To make Walter so appeased, Hannibal recalled the innocent appearance of the first time he saw the child Turtledove, and handed him half a piece of bread, and the anger in his chest couldn't help but dissipate a little, and looked at the turtledove sitting opposite him, with his neck twisted, indeed a little like himself before the name of "man-eater".

"Alright, let's get out," Hannibal waved to the turtledove out, "it won't come in a few years, and it will make me angry when I come back." ”

Turtledove still didn't say anything, he stood up with a dark face and left the room.

A few minutes after the turtledove had left, Hannibal, who had been sitting at the table without saying a word, seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Walter:

"Kill the eyeliner that the wings of freedom have planted in the city."

"Yes."

"The little rabbit cub's wings are stiff, and he dares to contradict me when he speaks, but his brain is not very long, and now the whole city sees that he brought the girl back, and it will not be long before someone comes to the door, so let's drag it back as much as possible."

"The master still feels sorry for the young master."

Walter bowed slightly and disappeared in the doorway, for there was still a lot of work to do for him tonight.
