Selsi is a lot older, and so is Mike, and the years don't seem to be very kind to anyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But compared to the former, Mike is still used to being topless, even if he is not confused, even if he is a duke, even if those Angora totems on his back have scared away a group of noble ladies in the northern city, so that he is still single, he has not changed. As for Sersi, he is now a father of three children, and he has not changed his bald head and blind eye.

Kenny sat in a thick, comfortable oak chair and looked at the wine John Sr. had just delivered. The reflection of Sersi and Mike twisted in the middle of it, as they coincidentally sandwiched an omelet into a slice of bread. "Lord, are you sure you don't want to come?" asked the father of three.

He didn't answer, but looked around at the familiar and unfamiliar study. The room, like all other rooms made of stone, was bright and airy, but not of ordinary stone, but of polished alabaster, with pale green curtains and golden tapestries, and even the floor, all made of fine purple wood, all of Assyria.

Kenny picked up his glass, stepped out of his oak chair, and sat down at the desk where the two of them were dining. On the table were quill pens and inkstones, two thick books with deerskin vinyl, a beeswax lamp, and a large stack of letters that John had just delivered in the morning, and in the middle was a parchment map, which took up almost the entire entire table.

"Decided?" Mike asked, chewing on his bread as he straightened up. He was a big man, and although he was a little older than Kenny, his face was much better. Now he has a small goatee, and his hairstyle has changed to a very short flat head, which is also a popular hairstyle among the courtiers today. "If so, I'm more concerned about how many allies we have now?" he swallowed the contents of his mouth and tilted his head to glance at the warm glass of wine, "Assyria and the ice fields are definitely fine, the rest ..... Huh?"

Kenny puts his glass down and smacks his mouth. "The envoy of Eridu will visit the day after tomorrow, the lord of Sunlight City will come to meet in person, Kane has been busy with the pollution control recently, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything, his eldest son Paul will attend on his behalf, as for Uruk....." He reached out and pulled the unopened letter, "It seems that no, the three letters have not been returned, it is estimated that the old man of Ryth still does not want to participate in this matter, after all, he is Sumerian, and he has no friendship with us, plus Camille and Mira, a total of six alliances." ”

"It's up to them to see how many people they can produce," Sersi put down the soup bowl that came to his lips, "If those guys are just putting on a show, coming to our northern city to eat and drink, and then leaving a small team of a few hundred people to show their sincerity, then-"

"At least not the ice fields and Assyria. Mike interrupted, "Also, I guess Sunny City won't, after all, the relationship between Lord Mullen's mother and you is here, and that kid will never dare to refute his mother's face even if he mixes things up, of course, if Shelley has to speak." As for Elidu, Dark, now a duke and married the lord's eldest daughter, should be able to speak a few words in Parliament. ”

"Your must be fine. Kenny asserted, "Kane wrote to him that if we decided to march south, he would personally lead the troops. ”

"When did that kid become so generous?" said Sersi was incredulous.

"Then do you have to think about it?" said Mike with a contemptuous smile, "all the expenses will have to be paid for by us, and he may not even bring a horse with him, and it is better to use us even with weapons and armor, which must be written in the letter." Isn't it, my lord?"

Kenny nodded. "Human nature, it has not been easy for him to live for more than ten years. Think about it, your has a history of nearly a thousand years, but the people are so poor that they even have problems with food and clothing, and Kane has been diligent and diligent over the years, at least solving the problem of eating, and there are fewer and fewer beggars there. Look at us again, if it weren't for the support of Assyria and the Ice Fields, as well as the support of Sunlight City, it would have been worse than them, and the North City would never have been where it is today. ”

"If Alan was still here, it would be better than it is now. Sersi scooped a spoonful of carrot cheese soup into his mouth and took two sipes before realizing his gaffe. "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't mean anything else. ”

"If he stays, we'll have captured Black City. Kenny smiled and raised his glass. He suddenly remembered the guy who was full of bad water, but always surprised people.

Seventeen years ago, they returned to the North City together, when it was still a deserted place, and the boy only stayed at the garrison for two days, and then left without saying goodbye to Mio, Linde, and the Flaming Sword, and was never heard from again.

One day three years later, Mio returned from the Winged Forest, bringing with him thousands of Wingmen to build the main castle. He tells Kenny that Lind is all right, and helps him kill his half-brother, who is now the Winged Humans patriarch and the rightful Seven Ears. "Where's Alan?" Kenny asked him after learning all this. Mio shook his head and said no more.

So many years passed, so long that Kenny felt like he was about to forget about his brother. Until a year ago, there was a rumor in the North City that a master swordsman had come from Eli to teach him, and when Kenny saw him, he immediately knew that it was Linde. So, all the greetings were omitted, and he asked Linde where Alan had gone, but Linde just shook his head and didn't say a word.

"Why didn't he say goodbye, you say?" Kenny muttered as if to himself, as if asking, "Is there nothing worth remembering him here?, or did I do something wrong, or did he really have a father's enmity and had to leave?"

"My lord, I went hunting in the frozen tundra last year," Mike shoved the last piece of bread into his mouth and swallowed it after a few bites, "Lawrence accompanied me the whole time, and he told me a lot of stories about the past when we camped in the snowy forest that night, including several mentions of Allen. He vaguely remembered that when you first met Eren in the Earth Spirit Illusion Realm, that guy said that his enemy was in Sunlight City, do you still have an impression?"

Kenny nodded. "Remember, that's what he said. ”

"Later he fell in love with Shelley, that's what Sersi told me. Mike pointed to his right, leaned back in his chair and continued, "That's probably why he left." ”

"What does this have to do with Shelley?" said Selsey, three deep wrinkles on his forehead.

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, anyone knows that guy has a free and easy personality, or ..... Weird. Mike sighed, grabbing his short hair with his hand, "Come to think of it, the reason he's willing to follow others isn't because of power and money, and it's not because he calls himself Dalton. I guess he wanted to use your power to help him get his revenge, but then what happened? He fell in love with a girl from Daylight City, or someone else's wife, and that person was still Lord Daylight, and hey, maybe Allen's enemy was Jefferson. ”

"Okay, stop talking about him, he won't hear him no matter how much he says, and it's impossible to come back to help us, let's talk about something useful. Kenny pushes the bronze inkstone that holds the map aside and slowly stands up.
