"Thank you, old Hyde, for giving us so much useful information!" Alan raised his glass to Hyde. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hyde hurriedly raised his glass and took a long sip of wine, his demeanor showing that he had been a chancellor of the exchequer, but rather a flattered old slave. It can be seen that he has not had a good life in the past two years.

"Hiccup....." Hyde let out a loud burp as he covered his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I drank a little too much tonight, what I said just now was all some drinking, I hope the three knights don't ....."

Hyde said as he picked up his glass to leave, but Kenny pressed his glass again.

"I have one last question for you, if one day I become Lord of Nipur City and reinstate your position as Chancellor of the Exchequer, will you have a way to triple the tax revenue in a year?" Kenny asked, looking at Hyde calmly.

“..... If one day, I mean if..... I have really reinstated the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the lord happens to be a young and promising you, give me three years, and I can raise taxes a hundredfold!" Hyde took his hand away from the cup and wiped his mouth.

"You're drunk, rest early. Kenny let go of his hand holding the cup.

"Nipur is the only territory on the Sumerian continent that has a living water source, and the Unun River runs from the Bura Sea in the east to the city of your in the west, and the basin runs through the entire territory of Nippur, and the natural water conservancy is the greatest advantage here! If one day there is no more coup d'état in Nipur, and I am blessed to be the Chancellor of the Exchequer. First of all, I will ask the lords to abolish slavery, replace the status of those slaves with labor, reduce fishing taxes, remove trade restrictions, vigorously support agricultural development, and stabilize the pastoral nomads in the territory. A year later, we will improve the dwellings of the city of Nipur, build an important trade route, from Assyria in the east to your in the west, and introduce the textiles of Assyria and the blacksmithing skills of your to our city of Nipur....."

Kenny stood up from his position and looked at the bombastic Hyde.

"If one day I do become Lord of Nipur City, maybe you will indeed become Chancellor of the Exchequer. Kenny had a confident smile on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm talking again, you don't think you heard me....." Hyde said as he walked to the staircase around the corner of the hall.

Looking at Hyde's back as he left, Kenny suddenly felt that Nippur City was not as simple as he thought.

"Great Lord Kenny, how can you be so desperate everywhere you go, and you want to be included in the account of anyone with a little ability. Alan swallowed the last spoonful of clam chowder and looked up at a melancholy Kenny.

"The one who can only fight is called a slave of power, and taking a town is not the same thing as ruling a town. Kenny sat down, picked up his glass, and looked at Alan with disdain.

"Well, who made me born in the war-torn years. Alan stretched his neck forward and whispered, "I've got a better proposal for the assassination of Patton!

"yes? I have a really good idea, too!" Kenny looked at Alan confidently.

"What do you mean ....."

“..... Three regimental commanders. ”

The two smiled tacitly and put Aiden aside, who was dazed.

The early morning sun shone on the south gate of Nippur, and the majestic gate slowly opened, and two men with their heads bowed mixed into the crowd and walked into the city, Aiden on his horse, swaggering behind.

The familiar pungent smell came to his face, and Kenny and Alan seemed to have used to the smell, and Aiden, who was visiting for the first time, covered his nose and pulled his face long with a sullen expression.

Kenny traces the way he had last time and leads the two to the door of a tavern, where they push open the door and enter.

"Hey, knight in silver armor, welcome to the Tavern of Lofe!....." the middle-aged man's waving hand stopped in mid-air, "Have we met somewhere?" he asked.

The tavern was dimly lit, almost completely closed except for a black curtain that covered the two windows, and even when the sun had risen outside, it was as dark as night.

Kenny walked over to the bar and sat down, looking at the middle-aged man and smiling, "Hehe, don't tell me it's still just mead today." ”

"I remember! You arrived here at this time the other day, sorry there was only a little mead left that day, and I mixed some water into it, but you didn't pay for that wine. The middle-aged man said with a fluttering eyebrow, "I remember that there was a fight outside, and we went to watch the duel between the mentally handicapped knight and the handsome swordsman.........., right? It's amazing! One move subdued the mentally handicapped swordsman, and if you hadn't stopped him at the time, I guess he would have cut off the head of the mentally handicapped swordsman! I said..... Right?"

Alan sat down at the bar, the corners of his eyes twitching a few times.

"I've been thinking about that handsome knight these days, it would be nice to have him as a teacher!

Alan played with the wooden cup on the table and didn't say a word.

"These three glasses are the wines that just arrived yesterday, count me as a treat. The man pushed three glasses in front of the three.

"You call it the Dolphin Tavern here, don't you, you know the archer Captain Ferro?" asked Kenny as he took a sip of wine.

"Of course not, it doesn't matter, you think too much. The man leaned against the wine cabinet, his eyes constantly glaring at Alan.

"Do you know where the three Horn Captains live?" asked Kenny, looking at the man.

"You..... What is this for?" the man looked at Kenny warily.

Alan suddenly put down his glass, and the bottom of the wooden glass slammed against the bar with a bang, and the wine in the glass spilled on the table, and the color looked very red, like the blood of some unknown creature.

The man leaned on the wine cabinet and looked at Alan timidly, "Taylor lives on Main Street in the south of the city, and his manor is very large, you can see at a glance, and the soldiers who came last night said that he was going to hold a mask ball tonight. Philo lives in the west of the city, and anyone you ask will know that he is an old nobleman of Nipur City. I don't really know about Sersi, but he often goes to the Colosseum to see shows, and I know so much, really. ”

Kenny listened to the man, drank the wine from his glass, and got up and walked out of the tavern.

"Lord, what's next?" Aiden whispered as he followed Kenny.

"Aiden, how about we play a game?" said Alan with a smirk as he walked beside him.

"What game?"

"I discussed with your lord last night, assassinating Patton is indeed not a good idea, now we have changed our minds, and are ready to defect to the three commanders, you are good at riding and archery, go and be the dog leg of that old nobleman, give you three days to blend into his archery corps, as for how to play the next game, we will talk about it then." Alan finished riding Aiden's horse and disappeared at the end of Main Street.

"Collar ....."

Aiden turned around to find his lord disappearing into the crowd as well.
