Chapter 219: The Mutant City Lord

Te's home is a little shabby, of course, the so-called shabby means that with those nobles, if with ordinary commoners, Biot's life is already very good, at least the house he lives in is specially prepared by the empire for the officials who manage the city, although the officials have to give up the house and other things after leaving their posts, but they will not charge any fees when they live here, and there are a few servants who do not have to pay their own salaries, saving a lot of expenses. 【】

Walking through the slightly dilapidated high door, inside is a standard living room, tables and chairs and other household items, with an outdated atmosphere, but it is spotlessly clean, how much salary can you earn is the rules of the empire, and it has nothing to do with Erte, and whether the living room is clean or not has to do with him, to a certain extent, how the family is cleaned up faintly represents the spiritual outlook of people.

In front of the stairs is a long corridor, the corridor seems very dark, there are many candlesticks on both sides of the corridor, but unfortunately none of them are lit, some candlesticks do not even have candles, just stand still in the dark, scattering the cold light of metal.

Erte saw An Fei looking at the candlesticks on both sides, his expression was a little cramped, he hurriedly walked to the door of a room, and turned sideways: "My lord, the city lord of Aroben is here." ”

An Fei nodded, straightened his expression first, and then walked over slowly. Aroben is a person who has suffered the pain of the destruction of the country and the loss of his family, and his family is lost, leaving only a lonely old man living in the world, and what is even more cruel is that the soldiers of the Shining Sand Empire still waved a butcher's knife in front of Aroben, and it is too difficult to communicate with such an old man who is immersed in endless grief. But An Fei had to come again, first as the future master, he had to express his condolences, and secondly, there were some things to find an opportunity to consult, he had heard more than one person say that Arroben was a very competent city lord, Violet City was thriving under his rule, but a damn war ruined everything.

At least he has to understand some of the city's bases, learn from experience, listen to the points and admonishments with an open mind, many things can't just rely on training to absorb experience, governing a city is not a joke, and when he has mastered a lot of lessons and lessons, God knows how much Violet City has paid.

An Fei coughed lightly, thought back to the words of condolence in his heart, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in. Someone inside the door answered.

An Fei pushed open the door and walked in, when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, in his imagination, Aroben should be lying on the bed now, his face was withered, either immersed in grief and unable to extricate himself, or he often yelled and used nerves to excrete his emotions, who knew that the scene he saw with his own eyes was too different from what he imagined.

Aroben sat on the chair and quietly watched An Fei's pale yellow slightly curly head combed neatly, his face was very thin, and his face was lightly smeared with a layer of fat powder, making it impossible to see the background color, wearing a crimson mage robe, wrapping his body tightly, and the junior magician medal hanging on his chest made An Fei feel very kind, and finally met a magician of the same level as himself!

"You're Anfei-sama, aren't you? I've heard Ert say please sit down, please sit down. A smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to signal to An Fei, this 'stretching' action was strange, and Aroben's arm was moving, but his hand hung on his wrist like an ornament, shaking with the movement of his arm.

"Hope it didn't disturb your rest. An Fei smiled, and then slowly sat down in the chair.

"My lords are really joking, and it's too late for my lords to come and visit me, an old man who is crippled. Aroben glanced at his weakly shaking hand, and a gloomy look swept over his eyes.

"Hehe......" An Fei laughed, but only laughed, the opening words that he had thought of didn't need to mourn? People don't seem sad at all, pay attention to rest? Aroben's mental state seems to be very good, what do you need, just open your mouth? He came here to visit, and second, to study, but An Fei needs Aroben's experience over the years.

"I heard Ert say that Chamasi of the Marquis of Djose's family has been executed by the Lord for attempting to assassinate the Lord?"

"Am I a little impulsive?" An Fei said with a smile, he didn't expect that Aroben didn't say a word of greeting, and he went straight to the point, and it can be seen that Aroben is a person who likes to do things coolly, and An Fei also appreciates such a character.

Aloben was silent for a moment: "My lord, although we have just met, some words are said directly like this, which seems too abrupt and easy to cause trouble, but I am already like this, what else do I have to fear?!"

"What do you have to say. An Fei smiled: "Don't call me 'adult', think of me as your junior like Erte." ”

"The rules can't be messed up. Aloben shook his head slightly: "Then I'll tell the truth?"

"Speak, please. An Fei had a sudden feeling, and he thought he was going to talk to Aroben for a long time, and only after they got to know each other well

Some important things now seem to be more urgent than Aroben is. It stands to reason that an old man who has been in politics for a long time should not be so impatient, perhaps because this cruel blow has greatly changed Aroben's temperament.

"Your Excellency, you're too soft-hearted. Aroben said slowly.

"What?" An Fei couldn't help but be stunned, his first feeling was that Aroben was saying the opposite, deliberately mocking himself, not only An Fei was standing on the side, but also Erte, who was standing on the side.

"You must know that Zose is the Marquis of the Empire, and he has been operating in the Empire for hundreds of years!" "An ancient tree that has grown for a long time, the roots under the ground may be more prosperous than the canopy, although Zose has been very low-key in recent years, but just like we can't see the root system of the ancient tree, we don't know how much potential Zose has, Lord Anfei, do you think we are qualified to underestimate Zose?" Speaking of this, Aroben glanced at Anfei.

"What do you mean......" An Fei's expression became very serious.

"This time Zosse lost five sons, but what did he get in exchange? dozens of acres of barren land, and some humble rewards...... If it weren't for you, Zose might have been glad to accept these rewards, after all, their family's fiefdom has not grown in the past hundred years, which is a good turning point, and it will be recorded in the family history in the future. Aroben sighed: "But with you, all this has changed! What people are most afraid of is comparing each other, and many tragedies and tragedies are born from comparison." ”

"Yes, you have indeed made a great contribution to the Empire, but he Zosse also sacrificed five sons for the Empire, why did you become the master of Violet City in the end, not him, Zose? In terms of title, he is the Marquis of the Empire, and you are only a count, will Zose be convinced?" Aroben sneered: "Killing Xia Masi can make Zose scared? No, all you can intimidate is some wall grass, I can guarantee that the Marquis of Zose will definitely become even more crazy!"

"You know what? You've wasted a great opportunity! Shamasi has assassinated you in the streets, and many people have seen it with their own eyes, you could have taken him to the sheriff's office, and then pointed the charges at Zuo Se, and simply cut down the roots. It's a pity it's too late. Aroben shook his head: "As long as Zose lives for a day, Violet City will not be at peace for a day, if you don't believe it, let time prove me." ”

"Zose is the Marquis of the Empire......" Ert muttered.

"And you, Erte, you're an idiot!" Aroben's voice suddenly became rough: "You actually exceeded your authority, opened the teleportation magic array without authorization, and transferred the official document to Blacknia City, if it weren't for your extra move, we would still have room to recover, and now there is nothing!"

"I just want to determine the nature of this matter before Zose's complaint, as long as Shamasi's crime is recognized, we will have a lot of room for maneuver, and we can advance and retreat freely!"

"Say you're stupid, you're getting more and more stupid?" said Aroben angrily, "There are many things in the world that can only advance and not retreat, we have already killed Shamasi, where do you want to retreat?"

Anfei and Erte looked at each other, no matter what kind of feeling Anfei had, it was not surprising, after all, he didn't understand Aroben, but Erte became dumbfounded, in his impression, Aroben was by no means a ruthless person, he was very tactful, he didn't easily offend people, and the reputation of Violet City has always been very good, not only the nobles had a good impression of him, but the commoners also respected him more, and now Aroben is not the same person as before.

"What should we do now?" An Fei showed a wry smile, it has been a long time since he came to this world, he has fully realized how powerful the aristocratic class is, killing Xia Maxi is already very risky, as for that Marquis of Zose, An Fei never thought of killing the other party in the bright light, he has not forgotten his own work, if that Marquis of Zose is really troublesome, it's a big deal, and then play at night!

And so on. ”

"Can you wait?"

"If I'm not mistaken, General Mioririch must have been reading the official papers, and his opinion will come down soon, and then it will be up to Dzose's reaction. ”

"Miorridge?" An Fei's mind was filled with enthusiasm and energy.

"Yes, in war, the commander-in-chief will take over all the military and political powers, so these matters are handled by General Mioririch...... Do you know General Mioririch?"

"Have you forgotten who my teacher is?" said with a smile.

"My lord, if you have a friendship with General Mioririch, things will be easy. Arroben looked overjoyed.

"What friendship can I have with General Miorridge? He only treats me like a child. An Fei couldn't help but shake his head.
