Chapter 40: Doubts

When the clock rang at six o'clock, Freddie Rick didn't let his daughter wait long, the changes that this old businessman had felt after half a year in the Black Dragon Collar simply surprised Angela - a solemn black uniform, the waist that was once slightly rickety became straight and strong, the folds on her face had faded a lot, and her face had not changed much, but her father's whole spirit made her feel like she had returned to her childhood.

"Gianna, why don't you tell me first, I still have a few priority spots in my hand that can give you a slight advantage in the bidding. Freddie Rick gave his independent second daughter a hug, and said hello to the middle-aged knight who was under armor, and said happily:

"Let's go, it just so happens that a group of short-eyed guys have entered the dragon's nest today, and Mr. asked the staff canteen to add food to everyone, and I'll take you to try it." ”

Angela glanced at the middle-aged knight, Kane shook his head slightly to show that he didn't find anything wrong, and the girl immediately followed, although she doubted her father, but she couldn't make it too obvious, "When will my father do this, didn't you always teach us to pay attention to etiquette at home? ”

"Hahaha, that was before, after I came here, I found that people still have to be pragmatic, cumbersome etiquette can not show a person's difference, what can really make a family survive for a long time should be a specific positive spirit and rigorous attitude towards life. Frederick didn't care about the ridicule in his daughter's words, but said seriously: "And the appearance of a line of nobility is not a strict observance of etiquette, the real aristocratic temperament should be cultivated by our generations for ......future generations."

"Okay, this is it, the staff canteen will not start until the first batch of municipal buildings begins, let's make it together here. ”

Frederick's steps were large, without the slightest aristocratic pace that he had deliberately made, and less than ten minutes after leaving the house Angela saw a brightly lit place not far away, and the noise and the smell of food could be heard from afar.

Pushing open a door woven of vines, the first thing Angela saw was a noisy hall, a long wooden table made of logs filled with people in black uniforms, strange vines with white roots and green round leaves sprawling from the corners, the top of the whole hall was full of these patchwork of greenish-white plants, a dozen clusters of fluorescent light on the roof, and at first glance there was a primitive beauty different from the splendor of the Woking Church.

What surprised Angina the most was that she found out that the slave who led her way today was also here, eating at the same table with the people in power who were in charge of managing the Black Dragon Territory!

"Frederick! here! We've taken our seats!" said Bai En, who was dressed in a black robe with white beard, sitting at a long table, and beckoned to the three of them, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't stand there and rub around." ”

"This is Dr. Bern, who is in charge of education and medical care, and he is usually also responsible for the livelihood of the people in the territory. Frederick introduced himself to the crowd, "This is my daughter, Angela Tud, and one of the chambers we might work with, and this is her guardian knight. ”

"Kane. The middle-aged knight stood up and saluted everyone's chest.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Bai En took his seat, and Angela followed her father to bring dinner on a strange square plate with a simple color, a bowl of soup, a few blistered pieces of shark meat, and a large bowl of strange food called noodles, which tasted unexpectedly good. If you can ignore the strange words of her father and others at dinner, Angela will eat happier than the leftists.

There is no hierarchy, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, these acquaintances call each other by name or comrade guys make Angela very uncomfortable, and the long-established concept of hierarchy makes it difficult for her to adapt to the environment here. After dinner ended, Angela returned to Frederick's residence, where Angela and her father had the worst conflict.

"Father, that means you have turned your back on the faith of the goddess and become a shameful unbeliever, even a despicable believer in evil gods?" FrΓ©dΓ©ric's refusal to serve the Church of Woking again made Angela surprisingly angry.

"I'm not an unbeliever or a believer in evil gods and false gods, we people are only gathered together because of a common idea, if you have to say faith, then my faith may be the eternal truth. Frederick fiddled with the bra in his hand, and he was even a little proud of his career, "The feeling of growing a pioneer village from scratch into a territory is more fulfilling than when I negotiate a business for the Church of the Goddess." ”

"Especially this business wants me to turn my back on the person I swore allegiance to, Anna, faith is free, I have the freedom to believe and I have the freedom to not believe, who I want to believe, and whatever I believe this is my freedom. With that, Frederick glanced at the middle-aged knight Kane, turned to leave, "I still have something to do, I have time to talk to you, your eldest brother asked me to find you a husband some time ago, and also told me that some of his colleagues are very good, I will show you their information tomorrow." ”

Frederick left quickly, and Angela's teeth were itching, but she could only curse in her heart who wanted those guys who smelled of sweat!

After a long silence, the girl couldn't accept her father's betrayal at all, it was her father who introduced her into the embrace of the goddess's faith, and she became a priest because of her father's expectations, but she didn't expect that in just half a year, her father turned his back on his faith and began to pursue some natural "truths" like some druids.

"Uncle Kane, can you be sure that my father has not been bewitched by the devil or the evil god?"

"No, Mr. Frederick's will is pure, and some newly awakened psychic warlocks can't even match him. The middle-aged knight frowned, his words a little uncertain, "I've always felt that someone is watching us since I left the restaurant, and I hope you can be careful when you meet Lord Frederick again tomorrow, I'm not a priest after all, and I'm not so sensitive to some subtle changes." ”

Angela nodded in agreement, the strange rules that were different from other places made her feel a little uncomfortable. The first priority of the entire territory is the construction of some projects, the second is the civilians, and finally it is the people in power, these things don't look like the things that should appear in the territory of a black dragon.
