"Why are they staring at me?", Joberg came very low-key this time, there were no flags, no poets singing hymns, no large groups of men and horses, and even the carriage was replaced by an ordinary one. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Of course, it was ordinary for him, and it was still very different from the carriage used by the common class. At least the wheels of ordinary people's carriages will not be edging with iron sheets, let alone inlaid with rows of rivets on the wheels, and there will be no bells and whistles.

Lowering the curtains, Joberg retracted his head, the temperature in the carriage was a little high, and the carriage did not have a constant temperature solidification magic array, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little hot when he was upset. It's getting hotter, and this year's summer came very early, which is not a good thing. Half of the agriculture in the southeastern part of the empire has been destroyed this year, and there is a saying that is not 100% true, but it is almost the same - every flood must be followed by a severe drought, that is, a great flood must be followed by a great drought.

Fortunately, Ortlenburg is not a city with agriculture as the main economy, and this drought cannot defeat Ortlenburg.

There was also an elderly man in the carriage, who looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair, a healthy and ruddy face, gray eyebrows, and eyes that seemed cloudy but sometimes flashed with essence. The bridge of his nose collapsed a little, ruining the sharpness of his eyebrows and eyes, which was a bit regrettable. The lips are moderately thick, and it looks like they don't like to talk. The beard on his face was very clean, as if he had been cleansed, and he was very clear about both the clothes and the way he dressed.

The old man had been borrowed by Joberg from Kant, and the reason why he was in contact with Prince Kant again was because of a letter of appointment from Pars. He was appointed as a member of the "Bell Provincial Committee for Strategic Materials", a position that seems to have little power, but in fact has significant authority in politics and business. Like all politicians, politicians who call themselves politicians will only show their satisfied faces when they see tangible benefits.

Kant sent his second chief of staff to assist Joberg, and in his letters to Joberg, he repeatedly told him to establish good relations with Wren and deepen the cooperation between the two sides. He, including whether Joberg can make a difference in the future, depends on Joberg's shamelessness. To put it in layman's terms, it is to ask Joberg to send his face to the door, to discourage Wren, and then talk about other things.

Wren's fortunes have been good since he went to Ortlenburg, and the most important thing is that he is just a loner, and if he wants to make his family grow again, it is indispensable to recruit some nobles to help him, and marry a relatively weak family with great potential. As long as Wren can return to the top wealthy family in the imperial capital, those who are attached to him can share some benefits. To put it bluntly, these people have seen that a new aristocratic group is about to rise, and now this aristocratic group has only one bare-pole commander, and it is a good time to officially go on the pole and hug the thighs.

Each of the Golden Families gathered around a group of die-hard nobles, who gathered together on the basis of the same interests to form a noble group, and these noble groups led by the Golden Nobles rallied around the royal family and formed a royalist faction. Fighting back and forth with some other spontaneously formed aristocratic groups in the political arena of the empire, this is Orlando, this is the essence of the empire.

The old man opened the curtain of the carriage window with the shiny cane used in his hand, and the tasseled tassels flung around with the bumps of the carriage, and the old man put down the cane and said softly: "Don't worry, they are not just staring at you, but at everyone." ”

"Why?", Joberg was inexplicably tossed by Wren three times and twice, he didn't know that his mentality had changed at this time, and when he was about to face Wren, he actually had a trace of apprehension?

The old man pursed his lips with his crutches in both hands, and talked about irrelevant topics, "The last time I came to Ortrenburg was eleven years ago, when I was on the mission of His Highness, and it was also the first time I came to this place. The old man seemed to be caught in his memory, and his face was full of nostalgia, "Do you know? I was here for five days, robbed about thirty times or forty times, wounded five times, the worst one almost punctured my waist. I saw more than ten people die on the side of the road in full view of the public, simply because they showed the silver coins in their pockets. I have also seen several fights between gang members, hundreds of people slashing together frantically, leaving behind stumps and broken arms and blood everywhere. ”

"I told myself that it was not a human being, but a vicious beast like a human being. They don't need any excuses, just an impulse is enough to poison their own kind, to people they don't know at all, they don't have any conflict of interest. Maybe it's just because it's uncomfortable to look at you. ”

"When many criminals hear that they are going to be exiled to Ortlenburg, they would rather serve twice as long in other places than come here. Only the most vicious gangsters dare to venture forward. ”

He sighed with relief, "Look at the current Ortlenburg, what is the difference between other cities?", he looked at Joberg and said very seriously: "Didn't you ask why these people are staring at us? I can tell you that the reason is very simple, because they don't welcome us. You may ask why they didn't welcome us, for the same simple reason, because they had found a purpose to fight for and were willing to give their lives. So they don't want anyone to interfere with their hard-earned opportunities, and whether these people are well-intentioned or malicious, they won't be welcome. ”

"Mr. Joseph, you are a great wise man, and you can analyze so many things in such a simple matter. Joberg patted the old man's ass a little, his own ability is limited, even if he becomes a governor, it is the result of Prince Kant's strength, but Joberg has a talent for self-knowledge, although he is stupid, he is not irritable, and he can listen to advice. At this time, he knew very well that a wise man could help him, so as a nobleman, he didn't have any psychological burden to shoot a bachelor's sycophant.

Joseph smiled and returned the favor, not taking Joberg's praise to heart.

A wise bachelor certainly does not listen to the words of the mentally retarded, whether he is right or wrong.

The carriage staggered and finally stopped outside the lord's palace amid Joberg's incessant complaints, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage and asked for an audience with Joberg's seal, and in a few moments voncos came to meet him with a guard of twenty men. Although Joberg and Wren don't deal with each other very well, but after all, they are governors, aren't they? And in the recent period, Joberg really didn't cause trouble to Wren, which made Wren feel a little less bad for him, this is not a person who doesn't know what to do, at least he can see the situation clearly, and he didn't die blindly.

Therefore, the dignity of the governor should still be given to him, of course, this dignity is only limited, otherwise it will not be Funkos who will be welcomed, but Wren himself.

Joberg's face was not very good-looking, but he admitted that he came this time to alleviate some small filths between him and Wren, and he gave his face to Wren. His personal gains and losses are nothing, compared to the will of His Royal Highness the Prince, he decided to admit it.

"Welcome, Your Excellency the Governor. Funkos behaved very well, his face slightly raised, with a slight smile on his face, and the angle was slightly darker when he bowed. With a hint of humility in his arrogance, there is a wisp of strength in his warmth, he is not weak, nor is he too tough, he can only say that it is just right, one more is too strong, and one less is too cowardly. Raising his back, Phonkos looked at the old man who got out of the carriage, his brows furrowed and then relaxed, "This gentleman is ......"

"My Chief of Staff!", Joberg spoke first, "Sir Joseph." ”

Funkos showed a look of surprise that suddenly dawned on him, as if the name Joseph was resounding throughout Orlando, but in fact how did he know from what corner this old man had come from? Bachelor, not a nobleman, he is a noble butler can salute the bachelor, and say that this old man is enough to have face.

Joseph looked at Vonkos with a smile, "I heard that the butler of Ortrenburg is a very young man, I never believed it, but after meeting you, I believed it. ”

The corners of Phonkos's mouth grinned, of course he didn't really understand Joseph's words literally, he staggered one by one, revealing the knights behind him who were divided into two columns with their heads held high, and stretched out his hand to invite, "Lord of the City is waiting for you two in the living room, please come with me." ”

Joberg took a breath and puffed up his chest, but Joseph bent his waist a little, and the two followed Vonkos into the city lord's mansion one after the other.

As soon as he entered the living room, the light turned from strong to weak, and for about ten seconds, Joberg laughed and greeted Wren, opening his arms, "Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, Viscount Wren." I want to congratulate you, you are the nobleman I have ever seen with the fastest rise in the title, you are not yet an adult, are you? God of Light, I only know how to eat, drink and be merry when I am your age!"

This sycophant was so explicit that Wren didn't react for a while, is this still the Governor of Bell Province who racks his brains every day to make trouble for himself? )
