The anxious-looking Guards waited for the lord's order, but after a few seconds, Kenny only yawned lazily. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Aiden coughed softly, trying to alert his lord to the order to defend the city, but Kenny simply waved his hand at the guard, leaned back into his oak chair, and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

"Old Hyde, the Secretary of State will discuss the matter of inauguration with you in detail, if there is nothing to do, you can go back first. Kenny whispered with his eyes closed.

"Yes, lord. Hyde bowed slightly, "I'll report back to you as soon as possible about the new road plan for Nipur City." ”

Kenny answered, and Hyde glanced at Sercy and hunched back.

"Lord.....

"Those thousands of soldiers are the remnants of the army I brought from the First Continent, rest for a while, there may be a dinner party in the evening, besides this wingman, there are other people to introduce you to you. Kenny said, still with his eyes closed.

"That's not what I want to ask. Selsey muttered, "Why would you want to reuse that red-nosed Hyde, trust me, it's not as simple as he says, he's a liar who is good at pretending to be true!"

Kenny straightens up and opens his eyes, looking at Sersi with bloodshot eyes. "There is truth and hypocrisy in every man's heart," he said, "but we can't deny a man because of that little evil, and since old Hyde is so good, we should make good use of his talents, and besides, he is now only a foreign minister who builds roads and bridges, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Yes, you're right, but truth and hypocrisy aside, every man has a hungry beast in his heart, and if given a chance, the little creature will become a ferocious lion!" Sersi thought for a moment, and added, "Patton says he's a careerist with a heart to be a king. ”

"Oh, the king!" Kenny replied, pausing slightly, "and do you have one?" he asked softly.

Sersi froze, then leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head, his gaze scanning the beams of sunlight shining through the window. "Nope. He replied, "It's too troublesome, I find it troublesome to even be the commander of the infantry regiment, and I have to face too many annoying problems every day when I open my eyes, and I prefer that life is a straight line, where I can see tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even beyond, rather than facing death at any time as I am now." ”

"Who doesn't want to live like that unless he's crazy!" Alan chimed in, "but death is too close to us, and peace is too far from us." He turned to Kenny, "My father used to say that this territory is a vast web that affects the whole body, and that the aliens and animals of the forest can find true peace unless one day humans disappear from here." Otherwise, war will never end and peace will be short-lived. ”

"Yes, no one can afford money, power, or a young girl in a brothel, and no fool will stick a sword in his heart, but we can only try to make it a little better, at least everyone can fill their stomachs, and see a doctor when they are sick, and that's it. Kenny said with his eyes open.

"Sounds great!" Alan stood up, walked over to Kenny, and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll go outside and bask in the sun and rest for a while, great Lord Kenny, may you see that day sooner in your dreams." ”

After Allen finished speaking, he beckoned to Mio, who was standing on the edge of the wall, and the two of them walked out of the side room, and Sersi and Aiden also retreated with them.

Kenny was the only one left in the room, and he closed his eyes, feeling very tired, and fell asleep.

A flock of winter crows flew over the towers, and the solemn bells rang from the temple in the distance, each of which seemed to urge those returning from the streets and alleys.

Then, in the coming evening, the setting sun dyed the originally clear blue sky a bloody red, and the rising moon on the other side gradually swallowed up the glow, and the clouds fell apart at this moment.

Then, the remnant sun faded into darkness, and the shadows turned into night, and the winter crows disappeared through the mist-filled bleak sky to the end of the sky.

A knight's pawn on a prancing horse landed in the square, and Alan stroked his forehead and whispered a curse, and kicked the corner of the table.

He is playing a checkers game with Sersi called 'The Lord and the Knight', a board game where only two people can fight.

Each player will get a lord chess piece at the beginning, and several knight chess of different arms, each chess piece is placed at the beginning, there are hard rules, such as you can't put a knight without a boat in the river, let alone put the lord's chess piece in the opponent's camp, the chessboard has been carved and painted by skilled craftsmen, depicting mountains and rivers, plains and seas, and even farmhouses and castles, knights passing by farmhouses will increase mobility, and lords can resurrect a knight who was 'defeated' by the other party after passing through the castle.

This is the most popular game on the continent of Sumer, because apart from those hard and fast rules, every chess player can use their imagination and arrange their troops at will to make the best opening.

Drunkards love to gamble in the tavern, imagining the opposing lord's chess game as some dictator, or someone they hate, for the pleasure of killing it.

Sersi is undoubtedly a master of this game, every time Alan sits at his table, he only scratches his head and scolds the street, they don't play many battles, but Alan has smashed several chessboards, maybe only in this game, Selsey can justifiably mock Allen's IQ.

"Alan," Sersi picked up the wine glass on the table, "give me the seven silver coins I lost in the previous seven games, otherwise, this will be the last time I will play chess with you." ”

"Damn birdman!" Alan raised his head and glared at Mio beside him, "It's because you've been arguing with him that I'm going to lose to him!"

"Hey, hey!" said Sersi disdainfully, holding his glass, "I haven't seen you win before!"

"What's wrong with your brain?" Allen's eyes widened, "I won you on the night of the coup, in the marching tent, want to deny?"

"That's because you hid the two Ironclad Knights when Taylor came!" Sersi vehemently denied.

"Don't make any noise!" Mio roared in a sonorous voice, then changed back to his usual voice, "Captain Sersi, it's obvious that this guy is bankrupt, so I'll fight you next, okay?"

"Of course!" said Sersi as she put down her glass and rubbed her hands, "Come on, poor devil, please let me go." ”

Mio showed a harmless expression and sat down in Alan's place. Then he smirked and reached into the pocket of his oversized cotton robe. "Captain Sersi," he said, "I don't have that much money, can we play a little smaller?"

"Of course!" Sersi looked at Mio's hand in his pocket, "How small?"

"Two..... Oh no, a plate of copper coins!" Mio said, pulling out two rusty copper coins from his pocket, "I can play two plates.....!"

Sercy's face instantly collapsed to the ground, and the corners of his cold eyes twitched a few times, followed by the cold light of the ivory dagger, which stabbed straight at Mio. (To be continued.) )
