Entering the Wind and Rain Castle, An Fei felt a different atmosphere, the wind and rain were extremely neat, spacious and straight, stretching forward, just entering the outer city, you could see in the distance, there were not many pedestrians on the streets of the Inner Fort, but many pedestrians were walking on both sides of the street, making way of the road in the middle, it seemed that the Wind and Rain Castle and the Holy City of the Ma Empire were almost the same, and there were strict rules on traffic. There are also two paths paved with stone slabs on both sides of the street, stretching parallel to the road, stretching into the distance, and every other distance a dark hole will be revealed on the stone slab, and the hole is also covered with a layer of lattice-like iron cover, An Fei knows that it should be a drainage hole.

Don't ignore the drainage system, even in the holy city, the drainage channels are not as comprehensive as the Wind and Rain Castle, An Fei has seen some residents splash used dirty water on the streets, this practice is unhygienic, usually nothing, but as long as the weather changes, there is a possibility of an epidemic, and the other is to greatly reduce the life of the street, and road repair, no matter which country is a huge payment, this drainage structure of the Wind and Rain Castle does have a certain sense of forefront.

Maybe it was all from Jacquerel's idea, or maybe it was the guidance of a high-ranking person, and the first feeling that the city gave Amphi was very good.

Moreover, the buildings on both sides of the street are very reasonable and have good remodelability, and the inner fort in front and the central fort in front of it all confirm Ampaire's judgment, because this means that the castle has been expanded at least twice. In fact, it's normal to think about it, taking Blackwater City and Baishan City as examples, because of the entanglement of interests, no one is the master in the real sense. It can't be talked about a comprehensive reconstruction, but the Storm Castle was built by Jacques with one hand, and it is very flexible, and what he wants to do is a matter of the big boss of the Brotherhood Alliance mercenary group.

All the way to the central fort, Marino and his subordinates were waiting in front of the door, An Fei didn't dare to support it, hurriedly jumped off the horse, strode over, and bent down first: "Your Excellency Marino, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Count Amphi. You're so polite. Marino leaned sideways and reached out to hold Anfei.

Suzanne followed closely behind An Fei and also owed a debt to Marino.

"Lady Susanna, your temperament is getting more and more charming. Marino also owes money to Susanna. smiled: "It's a real honor for a few people to be guests in my Wind and Rain Castle, and I won't be polite if everyone is a friend." Please!"

An Fei raised his head and saw the expressions of the mercenary leaders behind Marino, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, because the expressions of those leaders were very strange. Each pair of eyes was fixed on himself, as if he was examining something, but he also had a flattering smile on his face. When it collided with An Fei's gaze. They immediately looked away. He looked a little timid and uneasy.

As soon as I entered the central fort, a crisp cheer rushed to my face. The windows of the small buildings on both sides of the street were all opened, and a group of warblers, swallows, red, red and green green girls were crowding at the window, waving the bouquets in their hands vigorously, and some girls threw down the bouquets in their hands, but it was still winter, and God knows where they got so many flowers!

Ann Fei and Suzanne looked at each other, there was no need to make such a grand event, right?And An Fei's scheming was very deep, and he immediately thought of another question: from their approach to the periphery of the Storm Castle to now, it didn't take a long time, Marino was ready for a grand scene so quickly, or did he already know that he was coming?

Looking at the spilled flowers, Marino smiled very satisfied and natural, leaned over and walked forward slowly.

An Fei raised his eyebrows, where is this still the Brotherly Alliance mercenary group? The entire Storm Castle is like a country within a country, and Marino is the uncrowned king!

As the saying goes, the mercenaries of the Grand Alliance are always under threat, fighting one battle after another, they are not in the mood to think about anything else, and now they are naturally safe when they arrive at the Wind and Rain Castle, and they see that the upstairs is full of warblers, Yanyandi, and the girls are full of eyebrows, and some people even make obscene movements recklessly, hoping to attract the attention of the girls above. However, the girls behaved very professionally, no matter what the people below were doing, they all showed a smile full of joy, shaking the bouquets vigorously, and the cheers were relatively neat.

Walking into the conference room of Fort Center, and without waiting for everyone to sit down, Entos suddenly patted Ozgüch on the shoulder: "Ozgüch, let's go, I'll take you around the city." ”

Ozgucci was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, and followed Entos with laughter, and Orsie and several people also knew what was going on, and Marino must have something to talk to Anfei, so they didn't want to get involved, and in the end, Anfei walked into the conference room only Anfei and Susanna.

"Count Amphi is in big trouble on his way?" Marino said with a smile as he motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Well, we got rid of that Sejialan. "He always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

"How did you mess with her? You're not...... Something unforgivable, right?"

"We robbed her of two big carts of magic crystals. ”

"Two carts of magic crystals?" Marino was stunned.

"Yes. ”

"Huh...... It's no wonder that no matter who you change, you have to fight hard, but yours

In is enviable. Marino smiled and said that although he was also a magic crystal, his mind was obviously not on the magic crystal, and then he changed the topic: "Count Anfei, let me introduce you, this is Bernido, this is Wu Lei, this is Shasabbi, they are all my old subordinates, I said, what are you still doing in a daze?!"

As soon as Marino's words came out, several mercenary leaders behind him hurriedly walked out and fell to the ground on one knee less than five meters away from An Fei: "Meet An Fei-sama." ”

"It's ...... What is this for?" An Fei stood up suddenly, making a false gesture, and looked at Marino inexplicably.

"You go out and gather your mercenaries first, and let Lord Anfei take a look at them later. Marino said softly.

"Yes. The three leaders stood up and slowly retreated.

"Lord Marino. You're ......," Anfei didn't sit down, it was too weird, he had to figure it out.

"I know you're weird, huh...... You can take a look at this, and you'll understand after reading it. Marino smiled and handed over the contents on the table.

An Fei stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and saw that it was a formal appointment letter from the land of Yoland, giving Marino the title of Duke of the Empire and hereditary power. With the castle as the center, a radius of 500 miles was Marino's fiefdom, permanently exempt from all taxes, granted Marino and his descendants the highest immunity, and a series of preferential treaties. Finally, there is Yoland's autograph, and there is a bloody fingerprint next to the signature, which is the highest form of appointment letter, representing the existence of the Maao Empire. This appointment is valid.

Yoland's generosity surprised Amphi, but it didn't explain his doubts: "Lord Marino is not Lord Duke. Congratulations!" An Fei's expression was very serious, this is indeed great news, Entos's relationship is here. They have one more strong help.

"Thank you. Marino said slowly, "But." I'm not ambitious. It's easy to satisfy, so after getting this letter of appointment. I started to deal with some of the aftermath. ”

"Aftermath, you mean ......"

"I know myself, but others don't necessarily understand me, and in order to avoid misunderstandings, I have to express my attitude clearly. Marino smiled: "Here I say that the king is like a lion and a tiger by their side, of course, a little care should be done in everything, and suspicion should be enough to completely destroy a person." ”

"You're a little distracted, you already have the highest immunity. An Fei said with a smile, he faintly felt Marino's thoughts, and it was not the first time he had heard such words as a companion.

"When the Maao Empire was founded, there were two dukes, and they also had the highest immunity, and now their names can only be found in the history books. Marino said lightly: "On the contrary, the Marquis of the land whose power is far lower than them has been preserved, for example, the Marquis of Zosse, even if His Majesty is very dissatisfied with what he has done, he has never punished him, because he does not have the strength to shake the foundation of the empire." ”

An Fei sat down slowly, and only at this moment did he fully understand Marino's worries: "Can ...... Your Majesty is not that kind of person!"

"Your Majesty's heart is admirable, there is no doubt about that, but what about after Your Majesty, and after that?" Marino laughed, "Supreme immunity...... Hehe, if you behave well-behaved, immunity will of course be effective, if you don't measure yourself, this mountain looks at that mountain, it is not easy to say. ”

An Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, Marino's worries were reasonable, but ...... Too early, right?

"Anfei, you're the younger brother of Entos, so I can have a heart-to-heart with you, and I won't explain anything at all. Marino said softly: "You are still too young, Your Majesty has given me far more land than I imagined, it can also be said that Your Majesty does not need to give me so much at once, I thought about it for a long time to understand what Your Majesty meant, do you know why?"

"Because Your Majesty trusts you. ”

"Wrong. Marino laughed: "I'm just comparing myself to you, I'm just analogy, I won't slander anyone, I won't insult myself......!" Suppose you have a monster and one day you suddenly throw a lot of food to the monster and let it digest it slowly, what do you think?"

"I hope it doesn't get hungry today and doesn't come to harass me. An Fei sighed softly.

"So from now on, I can't stretch out my hand anymore, because His Majesty is telling me that there is only so much he can give me!" Marino smiled and said: "After the outbreak of the War of the Dead, many mercenaries fled into the Storm Castle, and the more they numbered, the more worried I became, but I can't keep them out! I am already the Duke of the Empire, and my safety will be guaranteed by the Empire, so why do you gather so many mercenaries?!" To be honest, it's not easy to feed them, if I am a careerist, and I can use them in the future, then I will be willing to pay, but unfortunately I am very satisfied now, not to mention those mercenaries, I even think that there are too many mercenaries in the Brotherhood Alliance mercenary group. ”
