Chapter Ninety-Five: The Extravagant Aristocrat
Barot pushed his wooden wheelchair alone and walked slowly along the quiet streets of Dragon City, and for the first time he felt that Dragon City was so peaceful after the curfew.
At the foot of the street are quaint bricks of considerable size, and on both sides of the street are small buildings made of red bricks.
If it weren't for the smell of engine oil in the air, the whole Dragon City would be more like a traditional ancient city, the kind of city that seems to have a story in every brick.
To Barot's surprise, the Pig-headed Lord didn't speak the whole way, as if the Pig-headed was still very calm even though he knew that attending the night banquet was dangerous.
From time to time, the military police, who hide in the shadows of the streets, will poke their heads out to catch a glimpse of Barot and the pig-headed people strolling through the streets.
met the gaze of those military policemen, and saw the perseverance in the eyes of the military police, Barot's hanging heart slowly let go.
He knew very well that the military police who arranged for the curfew tonight were almost all carefully selected by Nona, and they were a group of people who were absolutely trustworthy.
Tonight's Dragon City is destined to be unpeaceful, whether it is the pig-headed people or those nobles of Dragon City, they all regard each other as prey.
On such a night, both sides will show their fangs and try to tear each other apart.
In the eyes of both sides, the military and police controlled by Barot are their weapons to defeat each other.
But they didn't know that they were already in a cage and could be killed by hunters outside the cage at any moment.
Passing through the commercial street of Dongcheng District, which has been closed, I finally came to a brightly lit neighborhood.
There are a number of small buildings, each with its own architectural style, which looks like an architectural exhibition that brings together the entire plane.
As he stepped into the block, the pig-headed man in the wooden wheelchair spoke again: "Do you know? No matter what era it is, nobles have the same characteristic. ”
Barot asked meaningfully, "What is that characteristic?"
The pig-headed man said coldly: "That is, they are always so extravagant and greedy for enjoyment. ”
Looking around and looking at the entire luxurious building complex, the pig-headed man continued: "Here, it used to be the place where the last emperor lived before the empire retreated overseas, hehe, but I didn't expect that after many years, this place is still full of extravagance, and the most ridiculous thing is that the ancestors of this group of extravagant guys originally shouted the slogan of overthrowing the extravagant and decadent empire, and laid the foundation for today's country." ”
The pig-headed man seemed to have too much emotion in the face of the extravagant atmosphere in front of him, and it seemed that some words had been suppressed for a long time.
When Barot was still immersed in the words in front of the pig-headed man, the pig-headed man suddenly asked: "By the way, Barot, it seems that your family was the imperial royal family before, right?"
was suddenly asked by the pig-headed man, Barot was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Yes, yes." ”
The pig-headed man then asked, "So, you and that witch may still have some blood relationship?"
Barot said with some embarrassment: "No, my lord, the royal family and the royal family of the empire are two different things, most of the royal family are imperial heroes who have been entitled, and I don't have royal blood." ”
Hearing this, the pig-headed man suddenly suddenly said: "Hmm, no wonder, that woman is so unkind to you." ”
Barot replied in a deep voice: "Yes, my family, betrayed the Empire. ”
The pig-headed man then said, "Then your family lost the power struggle of the Republic. ”
Barot fell silent, he was still a child, and he didn't know the truth of the power struggle.
Although from the words of the family elders and some fragments sealed in their minds, they can vaguely understand some things.
But Barot, who hadn't experienced those, didn't really care about those fights.
Perceiving Barot's silence, the pig-headed man sighed: "The power struggle is like that, either you die or I die." ”
Speaking of this, the pig-headed man suddenly raised his head, looked at the extravagant city in front of him, stared at a building in the middle and said, "Tonight, it is also a power struggle. ”
At the signal of the pig-headed man, Barot pushed the wooden wheelchair and slowly walked towards the extravagant complex.
Surrounded by a variety of buildings, a palace-like building towers over the center of the complex.
The white exterior looks like a bright moon under the dark night sky.
A huge circular dome, flanked by towering towers, resembles two soldiers guarding the bright moon.
In front of the main entrance of the spire, there are many steam cars of different shapes parked, and against the backdrop of the slightly dilapidated steam cars, it highlights the magnificence of the building.
Barot was looking up at the building in amazement, when the pig-headed man in a wooden wheelchair suddenly said, "This was the residence of the emperor before the empire retreated overseas. ”
After a pause, the pig-headed man sneered again, "But now, this has become the place of the council's moths. ”
As soon as the pig-headed man's words fell, a gentle man came out and said to the pig-headed man very warmly, "Oh, honorable lord, your presence has really made this place flourish. ”
Barot looked at the man who greeted him, who looked to be about thirty or forty years old, and had the bearing of most of the nobility of the republic.
Unlike the decay of the imperial aristocracy, the nobility of the republic always exudes a capable bearing.
Perhaps, as the pig-headed man said, all nobles are the same extravagant, equally greedy for pleasure.
But compared with the pure extravagance of the imperial aristocracy, the emerging nobles of the Republic are a little more capable.
From the man's slender figure and the resolute gaze, Barot could feel that the man must have undergone military academy training.
When Barot looked at the man, suddenly the man looked up at him, smiled softly and said, "This should be the new head of the security department, right?"
In the face of the gentle smile on the man's handsome face, it really makes people feel the slightest annoyance.
The pig-headed man then introduced: "Yes, my newly appointed head of the garrison has studied at the Military Academy of the Republic like you. ”
The man looked at Barot in surprise: "Oh, so you're still an alumnus, what year did you graduate?"
Barot immediately stood up straight, raised one arm and made a salutation unique to the man and said, "My lord, the first military academy of the Republic, the 703rd student Barot. ”
Seeing Barot's very standard saluting action, the man suddenly smiled and said: "Hahaha, it's really fate, I'm six hundred and three, and we are ten years apart." ”
The pig-headed man suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that you two should be moving around a lot." ”
The man smiled and nodded to Barot, then half-bent down and made a gesture of invitation to the pig-headed man: "Then lord, please come in." ”
The gaze of the man in front of the council in Dragon City made Barot immediately understand that this guy in front of him was the one chosen by the witch.
A man with some elven blood is naturally more pleasing to the eye than a pig.
Barot grabbed the wooden wheelchair pusher, took a step and slowly pushed the wooden wheelchair, and followed the man with the pig-headed man towards the lavish domed building.
