"You may be seated. ”

The glamorous lady wore her hair in an elegant bun, her lilac velvet collar reflected her rosy lips, and the side of the velvet skirt had a slit that stretched from the ankle to the base of the thigh, just enough to see her slender and tight legs from the slit.

Hodge's eyes were good, and he quickly judged that the noblewoman was no longer wearing cotton pants under the skirt, and her thighs were completely naked under the velvet skirt.

He shook his head gently, since he came into this world, the noble lady was the second woman he had ever seen who dared to wear such thin clothes on a frosty and cold day.

The first one is naturally Devonie, but she is not dressed revealingly, but simply less, after all, no matter how the outside temperature changes, it is impossible to affect her, which is a gift.

The lady in front of her was different, obviously she was simply chasing the glamorous and sexy, but fortunately the charcoal fire in this room was burning vigorously, otherwise the cold wind would drift in along the slit of her skirt, and a few beautiful blood-colored flowers would bloom on her fair thighs.

In the winter of the previous life, there were not a few women who sacrificed their temperature for beauty, but in the harsh environment of this world, it was the first time to see it.

"Flower tea or barley tea?"

The lady moved to the round table with small steps, and turned to ask the four about their tastes.

"Plain water will do. ”

Hodge looked around the room, which was architecturally lavishly designed, with the fireplace reflecting on the wall next to it, as if gilded with a layer of gold.

On the way here, he always wondered why they couldn't get out of the city, and why if he didn't follow them when he met two soldiers, the scene would be repeated over and over again.

It should have fallen into a realm similar to the illusion, but this blurred illusion was far beyond his imagination, not only could he not see the edge of the illusion, but even after realizing the illusion, he still couldn't break free from it.

This is much more clever than the Dream Demon he met in Stone Castle.

Are those two soldiers weird beings too? After all, Hodge had killed them once, and then the two of them appeared as if nothing had happened.

He came to the conclusion that the two soldiers were fine, they were just the same as the interaction in a scene in the fantasy world, and the possibility that the characters themselves were not very problematic, perhaps even they themselves did not realize that they had fallen into a spiral of contradictions, and had even been killed once.

So, who will this Lady Tina who is going to receive her? It is obvious that two soldiers can pass the word, and it will obviously not be an ordinary person.

Sure enough, the building where the soldiers had brought them was the town hall of Adverse Winds, and the room where Lady Tina entertained them was one of the two large houses on the highest floor of the town hall.

The identity of Mrs. Tina is also revealed, she is the wife of the current mayor of Stormhaven, and she can also be said to be one of the most powerful people in Stormhaven besides the mayor.

What reason does such a person have to deliberately send two soldiers to find him in the middle of the night?

The witch tricks of burning the strange soldiers were exposed? not like, otherwise they should be in the dungeon, not the room.

Tina held the disc and placed four glasses of water on the table of the four, waiting for each of them to take a sip before revealing a faint smile.

"The four of you must be very strange, why did I send someone to find you?"

"Definitely. Hodge put down his glass and waited for Tina to answer.

Tina clasped her hands behind her back: "Because I got a message." ”

Her eyes gradually became solemn as she looked at the four of them: "My dear father has met with you. ”

The father of the mayor's wife?

Hodge's face was full of astonishment, and he coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I think there may have been some misunderstanding, I don't even know who your father is." ”

"My father, that's a great man. ”

Hodge didn't hear admiration in Tina's words, but a bitter irony permeated the words.

"When I introduced him, I even had to think about it several times before I could figure out where to start. ”

"Is it to call him a dear father, or a rebel. ”

"Or—the Slave King, I'm sure you're familiar with that name. ”

"After thinking about it, it's better to use your real name directly. ”

A sneer appeared at the corners of Tina's mouth, "Let me introduce you to my father, his name is Sagisan. ”

Hodge's hand trembled slightly, but fortunately he had already put the glass down, otherwise there was a chance that the cup would have been knocked over at this time.

"Sagisan, are you his daughter?"

Lady Tina nodded, "It's ironic, isn't it? My father, the mayor's father-in-law, is the biggest rebel leader in Downwind Harbor. It really doesn't get any more ridiculous than that. ”

Hodge's brain stopped for a moment, visibly distracted by the news.

Generally speaking, the leaders who launch the rebellion are members of the oppressed class, because they have experienced the cruelty of fate, they will make up their minds to reverse this miserable future.

Because it's too fake, other people can't be infected at all, and naturally they won't follow him.

The first impression that Sagisan gave him was that the kind of old slave who had been oppressed all his life had already seen through the hardships of the slave life.

This feeling cannot be faked, and if it is his father, as Tina said, then how could the mayor's father's father be reduced to the point of being in the company of slaves, and even resonating?

"My father was by no means what he is now, he was a brilliant carpenter, and the nobles of the whole Downwind wanted to own his creations, and even the nobles of the nearby cities came to him. ”

"He used to be a quiet man, spending most of his time on wood carving, occasionally making toys for me out of scraps, like wooden windmills, and now that I think about it, it was a memorable time. ”

Mrs. Tina tilted her head and sighed, the warmth suddenly faded from her face, and her expression quickly turned cold: "But since I married Roosevelt, everything has changed. ”

Roosevelt, Hodge knew it was the mayor of Downwind Harbor.

"He always disapproved of me marrying Roosevelt, even when I told him that this was my ideal husband. ”

But he was just a little dissatisfied, and out of his pampering of me, the wedding finally went ahead as scheduled. ”

"It was then that he became wrong, and I came home several times to see the wood embryo untouched, and he didn't carve it at all, and he buried himself on the table all day long, and when he saw me, he squeezed my hand, and kept saying that Roosevelt was not a good man. ”

"Until one time I had enough and didn't come home for a month, and when I got back, the house was empty, and my father disappeared into the city for some reason. ”

"I thought he was dead, and it saddened me, but I could only accept it, but I would never have imagined that half a year later he would be back in Downwind again, dressed in tattered clothes like slaves. ”

"I wanted to celebrate his safe return, but he wasn't going to see me at all, I thought he was sulking about what had happened, but then I learned that he didn't come back alone, he came back to the city with him, and his beliefs that had become terrible, even crazy. ”

Tina's body shuddered involuntarily.

"Can it be crazy to free slaves from fire and water?" Hodge asked.

Tina looked at him indifferently, "That's what he told you, and now he's an old liar through and through, carrying out actions that don't fit in with all his illusory faith. ”

"Look at this house, sir, have you ever seen a slave!"

Tina's voice was solemn: "Slavery, this is a complete bad habit, it should have been banned a hundred years ago at the same time as civilization progressed, my husband and I understand this, and gradually draft relevant laws, such as abolishing slavery for life and replacing it with a type of employment." ”

"But it takes time for any new law to be enforced, let alone in a slave city like Downwind, and it is an extremely difficult process to convince the recalcitrant slave owners to cooperate, and it can only be done gradually. ”

But my father gave up this possibility, and in order to hold the power of the slaves in the palm of his hand, he instigated the slaves to start a riot, and brutally assassinated many slave owners in a seemingly noble but barbaric way, so that the possibility of reconciliation between the two sides was completely destroyed. ”

"All this has only one purpose, he wants to become the master of the Adverse Harbor in this way!"

Hodge pondered for a moment, "Is that so? But what he told us was that he was seeking peaceful coexistence between the two sides, and that the brutal methods were the work of another faction. ”

"That's what he said when he met you?"

Lady Tina scoffed, "I think he said the same thing to his men, what a noble man, his hands have not even the slightest blood, huh? I said, he is a complete liar!"

........................

Broken again.

The dice shattered again.

Lady Tina's statement is diametrically opposed to that of Sagisan, and both seem to be convinced that they are right, and they cannot easily see any signs of lying.

The most straightforward way of judging is problematic, and in this strange city, the dice don't seem to work properly.

I'm not Conan, it's hard for me.

Hodge sighed and led Devany and the others out of Lady Tina's room.

It happened that the mayor's large room on the opposite side also opened, and a figure carrying two swords walked out.

At first glance, Hodge felt familiar.

Take a closer look, it's really familiar!

"Soxi, you didn't stay in a hotel outside the city, why did you come into the city?"
