2 [Conference of the Ducal Castle]2

When she came in with her helmet in her arms, Amy was stunned as Reed, who had followed her back, but she immediately came back to her senses.

She bowed her head and gave the Duke a very standard military salute, and then, without saying a word, ignoring the level of goodwill or malice in the eyes that had gathered her gaze, she stepped behind Uncle Mahoney and stood still, as if the seat had been vacant for her.

Then everyone's gaze began to change direction one after another, converging on the Duke's body, who was still holding the empty cup in his hand, still looking at Amy, the kind of gaze that was so complicated that it was difficult to decompose any meaning from it, and it was infinitely complex and almost casual.

Finn and Marquis did not return their gazes, they were smiling with great interest, as if they were looking at a new stranger, the former silently pushing the wooden cup in front of his own son, while the latter's hand holding the white handkerchief was slowly tightened.

What's going on today?!

......

The silence was broken by the head of the Iris Knight, who seemed to sigh softly before bowing down to Horn and saying respectfully, "I'll go fill you with another drink." ”

With that, he turned and walked to the door of the conference room.

Of course, another glass is not filled with a bright red liquor, the Duke's body is getting worse and worse, this is not a disease, not an injury, but a fatigue that the Holy Healing Technique cannot fight, the human body is actually a tool, and naturally there will be a time limit for use, proper exercise and suitable food can reduce the frequency of this time limit shortening, and alcohol seems to be not only not in this list, but will also have the opposite effect.

But people in the world usually only care about the immediate gains and losses, and do not care about the long-term interests, what can be more long-term than life?

The door to the conference room is reopened.

Oone-Leone took a deep breath and cast a mild puzzle at Amy, "Little girl, I guess you've been unhappy today," he said as he swept around the crowd and laughed, "That's why you came to see Finn's joke?"

Everyone knows what the relationship between Erwin and Svanti is, just as they know the fate of Amy and Finn, everyone present can basically understand the pun in the laughter, or the deeper meaning, and it is obviously not a wise choice to laugh at this time.

In the focus, Erwin Pearl was not stage frightened at all, probably before coming here, she had already made enough mental preparations, she bowed to the Duke, and then replied without hurry and extremely seriously, "Lord Hui, this meeting is held to solve the current internal and external troubles of Luolong City, and I am here just to do my part for you-"

"Nonsense!" Marquis on the other side interrupted his sister's conversation with a frown.

Mahoney also frowned, anyone who is familiar with Marquis's character can hear what kind of anger is contained in this low voice, if he is not carried away by anger, how can he personally speak at such a time?

But before the uncle could give any warning, the nephew had already opened fire.

"You are a woman with thin arms and legs, all you can do is to continue the bloodline for men and give birth to a boy who can wield a sword to defend the family, instead of wearing heavy armor and giving up your life in vain!"

As soon as these words came out, both men and women present, even Onner Svanti had a slight discoloration in his eyes, and Davina even glanced at Mahoney beside him.

"If you can wield a sword, you are a warrior, so why should you separate men and women?, there are not no female soldiers in the city guard, and there is such a saying," Amy looked at the Iris Knight standing quietly behind the Duke, and among the seven people, there were actually three women, "Where do you want to put the Iris Knight?"

She paused, and refocused her gaze on the Duke, "When the werewolves entered the Eastern Outer City, they didn't treat their prey under their fangs and claws differently, whether it was male or female, old or young, all of them were bitten to death, so what reason do we have to distinguish ourselves......

Marquis, who was left aside, opened his mouth, completely unable to find a chance to interject, what does this mean? The two sides were facing each other, and then the enemy knight gently picked us with his spear, and walked away in a victorious manner?

This guy who has been extremely obedient since he was a child...... I drank the hallucinogenic potion today and drank my brain badly?!

What "can wield a sword and be a warrior"? Fart!

Doesn't she know what these words mean to herself, to put on the iron plate of the man who is not to wear the comfortable silk, and to put the noble El Wenzhu not to be a warrior with today and no tomorrow?!

If you put aside the title of El Wenwen Zhu, she is just the woman that everyone wants to fall into!

It's just funny and contemptible!

Judging from the inadvertent eyes of the participants around him, Marquis knew that his conclusion was still too subtle, but he was about to continue to interrupt and refute, but he felt that Fein on his side stepped on him, and when he looked sideways, he saw a warning in the other party's eyes.

The same warning came to Mahoney's eyes.

......

“...... Lord Duke, although I am not as strong and sharp as the Iris Knights, I am willing to do the same as them and them, and I will shed my blood for you......"

In fact, it is not surprising what kind of contempt such an act would provoke in secret, so after saying that, Amy lowered her eyes again, and stood as straight as a pine, so that everything was out of sight, and she knew her own affairs, and her legs wrapped in armor trembled violently, and if it were not for a silver armor to cover it, this tremor might have spread to the whole body, and then let others get a glimpse.

Everyone was silent, but the Duke bowed his head slightly, groaned and slowly glanced at the people present, and his gaze seemed to pause on someone's body.

The next moment, the middle-aged baron who was a little bald, named Ron, raised his hand to signal that he had something to say, and after receiving the answer, he said with a straight face, "Miss Amy is right, werewolves do not distinguish between civilians, which is actually normal, otherwise what is a hunter and what is a beast?"

We live in a civilized society, and they live in barbaric tribes, if we don't know how many years ago, human beings were the same as werewolves, every individual only knew how to kill, eat meat, then we will only be like werewolves today, or wearing animal skins or simply naked, using caves, caves, and grass huts as nests, sleeping in the open and drinking blood, how can we get today's silk clothing, gold and silver utensils, fortified cities and sharp blades?......

O-Anne nodded slightly, and his gaze turned to Elwin Pearl's face.

Amy exhaled, and then bowed again, trying not to let the light tremor of her legs affect the composure of her tone, "Sir Ron's meaning is very clear, the division of labor in society, each shows its strengths, and this is also the fundamental foothold of human beings who do not have any innate advantages compared to various alien races......"

In fact, the original sentence should be "the social division of labor performs its own duties", she quietly made a small change, and the tone coherently brushed it off.

“...... So, with all that said," she shrugged, and concluded the addition that was neither long nor short, "I agree with Sir Ron. ”

Until the end, the twist that should have occurred did not appear.

So Miss Amy is here to be funny today?

The vast majority of the attendees suddenly turned what little expectation they had on their faces into a kind of contempt.

Amy had no distractions, but all this fell into Marquis's eyes, the family is a whole with all its glory, how can he not be angry when he is treated with such contempt?

He wanted to take the opportunity of [bringing up the doubts of the people around him] to warn Amy again, but the smell of [angry but forced laughter] in his smile seemed too strong.

"So ......?"

Just at this moment, the door opened again, and Reed, who had gone out to get goat's milk, returned.

The Head of the Iris Knight brought in more than goat's milk in a wooden cup, and at the Duke Lord's behest, Reed informed everyone present of the news of Sir Shane and Laird, and his tone was succinct and his tone was as unemotional as ever.

The congregation breathed a sigh of relief, but the "small" gesture was too obvious.

Shane is said to have suddenly become ill, probably not adapted to the climate here, very serious, and has now notified the Holy Healed Awakened, while Lord Laird was injured, saying that the house was on fire, the specific cause is still being investigated, severe burns, and the Holy Healed Awakened have also been notified.

There was silence in the conference room, which meant that although the two of them did not die in any new riots, they would definitely be able to deal with the matter at hand, but they would not be able to come for the time being.

The Duke, who was forced to pour a large glass of goat's milk, exhaled, broke the silence, and directly skipped Amy's matter.

"In that case, let's continue with what we said last time, after all, it will be dark if you sit down again. ”

The attendees bowed their jaws.

"So, who's going to say it first?"

After a while, no one made a sound, O-Net looked around, and his eyes fell on Oliver, who was sitting on the right hand, and Davina, who missed the spring light but seemed to be unconscious, "Shane and Laird didn't come, it must be the two of you who said first, what are you waiting for, lady first?"

Everyone also looked at it, Davina smiled bitterly, and then gently flirted her sideburns with her hand with a heavy diamond-encrusted ring, and gently lifted the question away, "Lord Duke, I have been living in Luolong City, and I have just taken over this position...... Well...... After the meeting, I will pay my respects to Shane. ”

"This ......," Oliver's nose moved, and he seemed to have a headache, "since you don't come, then leave them alone, and I'll do whatever you arrange." ”

Lord Duke nodded, his gaze moving forward, "Mahoney, aren't you usually the best at talking, now it's up to you, let's say, what should we do?"

Mahoney blinked, "Uh......"

"Tell you to speak, what are you burping, say it quickly. ”

The representative of the Erwin family stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders towards the Duke and everyone present, his tone slightly helpless, "Actually, I was about to give Marquis a look and make him pretend to have a stomachache or something...... The mind is a mess and there are no ideas. ”

Before the words fell, Davina hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, but still let the subtle popping sound overflow from between her fingers, and the smile made her eyebrows and eyes bend into a half moon, and let the round balls on the table tremble lightly in the crooks of her arms into trembling rabbits in her clothes.

Although some of the people who occupied an excellent wait-and-see angle did not dare to stare blatantly, most of them had their eyes shaking, and they had obviously been distracted a lot.

The most exaggerated of these is naturally Sir Corbett, who broke his work in an instant, his throat was already a little dry, and when he swallowed this spit, a small group of people nearby heard an embarrassing grunt, and they hurriedly bowed their heads, just hoping that their embarrassment was not seen by too many people, especially the Duke.

In fact, from the perspective of the main seat, everything that is happening off the field is so clear, but how can the person sitting on the main seat have the energy to take care of these.

The representatives of the three major families have already expressed their positions, and the topic is immediately led to the second topic of today, and the Duke probably didn't think about how to deal with the appointment and dismissal of the major positions in the advance army, and the first thing to bear the brunt of was the "tavern alley incident" that happened yesterday.

"Oliver, those 11 city guards are all yours, right?"

Representative Flor, who was named, nodded subconsciously, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the Duke who only made a short pause say in a coherent tone, "If you have anything, just say it clearly, otherwise you won't talk about this in the future." ”

"What does it mean to make it clear at once? Is that something that can be said clearly in such a place?!" Oliver swallowed, swallowed it, and then shrugged his shoulders and raised the white flag, "I have already reported to you about this, and all I know is that. ”

"Okay, tell me what you have to do. ”

"......" Oliver pursed his lips, who has a good way to do this situation now, if there is one, he would have done it himself a long time ago, "There is no good way, but if the Dongcheng Army can replace some of the city guards, we should be able to conduct a big inventory of the inner city before counterattacking Luolong Valley......"

As of yesterday afternoon, the 7 soldiers who were in charge of monitoring the tavern girl Fan Fan had all died within half a month, if this is a coincidence, in fact, it is not impossible, after all, there have been frequent accidents in the inner city recently, they are unlucky, who can blame them?

But objectively speaking, man is a subjective animal, and the kind of statement that comes from the mouths of these soldiers is really becoming more and more believable.

Finn glanced at Oliver, then at his father, who was rubbing his chin in a pensive motion, and lowered his head.
